Summary
Today's episode is a special Q&A where I answer your questions about the gap, the space in between growing from one version to another, and the uncertainty that comes with it! I share powerful ways to navigate growth seasons, like what to do when you're putting in the work but you're not seeing results, what happens when you surrender to the process and let go of control, and how you can find certainty even in the unknown. By the end of this episode, you'll have the tools to face fear, self-doubt, and uncertainty in order to come out on the other side stronger. Because if you don't give up, your growth becomes inevitable.

| 0:16.6 | risk and you realize that you survived it, it might not feel great in the moment. Over time, |
| 0:22.4 | that's ultimately the biggest thing that has helped me change that inner narrative because even |
| 0:29.2 | now when I have self-critical thoughts, and I still do, I absolutely still do, I've built enough |
| 0:34.9 | evidence to prove them wrong. |
