Summary

I know what it’s like to just not. Just not try the new sport. Just not sign up for the art class. Just not join the group of people whom I assume are smarter than me. Just not take that professional leap. Just not attend the event with people who seem to have it all figured out. Just not chase a dream. Just not admit I really want something. Just not believe I’m worth it. I’m curious if you ever get a case of the Just Nots? Perhaps this happens to you when you think something miiiight be kinda cool, but then you decide it feels too risky, too scary, or too vulnerable. You start to make up a bunch of reasons that it’s just not the right time. Just not the right fit for you. Just not the next right step. And you end up Just Not doing the damn thing. And then, you find yourself sad, mad, disappointed, full of regret, maybe feeling some shame, and likely making promises about how next time you Just Will. In this episode I talk through what the Just Nots look like and how they can impact your life. Then, we dig into the Just Wills - the fun stuff - where all sorts of magic happens. It’s ok if you’re typically a Just Not kinda person. But, I think (hope) this episode nudges you to be a little bit more of a Just Will person.

1:06.7	And it's like the clouds or the sky is so heavy and dark, and it has been for the last

1:20.3	and like a very rain-free summer to just overnight, like, flash flooding, it's a lot to get
1:27.4	used to. Like, we're all a little like, wait,
1:30.1	what's what? I think I had my wettest walk to school ever with Vinnie and Piper this morning.
