Summary

It’s a new month and that means a new series! Today we’re stepping into April and focusing on Leveling Up. So stay tuned for conversations about getting unstuck, motivating yourself out of a rut, and busting through plateaus.


In this episode, I share my first big experience getting out of a rut with my 25 by 25 list. Spoiler, I didn’t reach all 25 goals, but it DID help me learn what I’m capable of and just how much life can change in a pretty short amount of time.


I also talk about…

  • How being stuck could just be misalignment
  • The time I needed a hobby, but got a boyfriend instead
  • The beautiful moment when you realize you have choices
  • The empowering boost of making smart financial decisions
  • How reaching the goals on my list wasn’t even the best outcome of the list
  • How the seeds you plant now are what help you get unstuck tomorrow

Now I was inspired to create this series because I personally have been in a bit of a rut lately.

1:07.0

I've been in a rut for a minute and I am currently working through it.

Like in nature, winter is all about hibernation and slowing down, which we talked about on the podcast a few months ago.

2:22.0

I wouldn't say that I agree with everything the book says, but it's definitely made me think.

2:26.0

And sometimes when we feel like we've been in the same spot for a while or maybe we've hit a plateau or we're in a bit of a rut, we can feel like the issue is motivation or our willpower or our abilities.
