| 0:00.0 | part of the growth process, part of this journey of stepping into the version of you that you |
| 0:07.4 | kind of know at some level is available to you, is continuing to step beyond what the current |
| 0:14.0 | version of you knows and can predict and feels safe in. Nothing changes until we take the step into the unknown. We step into |
| 0:22.7 | the risk because your entire life will change when you do. |
| 0:30.9 | I was reminded recently how anything great, literally, anything I can think of, that has a really great result on the other side, involves some level of risk, some level of feeling as though we have no control over whether the outcome that we |

| 2:11.0 | in you is resisting it. Everything in you wants to stay comfortable. Everything in you wants to stay safe. But staying safe is ultimately |
| 2:21.2 | staying the same. And there's nothing wrong with staying the same except when your soul, |
| 2:27.8 | when a deeper part of you knows that you are meant for so much more. And I know if you listen |
| 2:32.3 | to this podcast, that is a feeling you |
