Summary
Are you making decisions based on what will make you happy or what will make other people comfortable? In this final episode of the ceiling-breaking series, Dorothy tackles the biggest limitation of all: living your life by committee. Discover why the fear of judgment only kicks in when you're about to do something that would actually light you up, and learn the question that will free you from everyone else's opinions about your choices. Get the Come Alive Audit that will show you exactly where you've been dimming yourself for others' approval and how to start choosing what makes you feel most alive. If you're tired of seeking permission to live fully, this episode gives you the framework to trust your own compass over the committee's vote.
