Summary

Have you been feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure of your next step? In this episode, I share 2 powerful mindset shifts that have helped me navigate uncertainty, overcome setbacks, and keep moving forward even when I couldn't see the full path ahead. I talk about the importance of giving yourself grace, embracing the "not yet" mindset, and trusting that today's setbacks may be leading you toward something even greater. Get ready to stop waiting for certainty and start believing in what's possible. In This Episode, You Will Learn: The surprising coaching conversation that inspired this episode. Why calling yourself "dumb" does more damage than you realize. How recognizing old patterns is actually a sign of growth. Lesson I learned from my therapist about self-compassion. How embracing the messy middle led to opportunities I never expected. Why "I haven't figured it out yet" is a mindset worth adopting. How faith and persistence work together during uncertain seasons. Why your greatest chapter may still be waiting to be written. Check Out Our Sponsors: NetSuite - If your revenues are at least in the seven figures, go to NetSuite.ai/MONAHAN.

where she needs someone to give her a hand and help pick her up and she wants to run ideas against somebody else who's been in similar situations, which is super smart. I completely get it. Well, this week, I was very taken aback by a meeting that I had with her. She sent me a text message and said, hey, is there any chance we can meet this week? We weren't supposed to meet this week. And I said, yeah, of course, you know, we'll find time. We got on the calendar, found the time. And as soon as I got on the call with her, she says, this is so dumb. And she kept saying that, I know this is so dumb, but listen, hey, listen, and this is really dumb. This, I don't know what's going on. I'm being so dumb.
