I think this is one of the silent killers of a lot of dreams.

And it can be a natural result of just the way our brains are wired to handle fear.

But we're not stuck with it.

We can choose to rewrite those narratives.

We can choose to create a more empowering story for ourselves and others.

And we can use other people's success as proof to our minds

that it is possible. Welcome to Powerhouse Women, the podcast for women who know they are

ready for more. I'm Lindsay Schwartz, your host, and the founder of Powerhouse Women,

and together we'll unlock the confidence and clarity you are looking for to help you get

out of your own way and into action around your next big idea.

Today, I want to talk about using your words to fight for what's possible versus fighting for your limitations.

And this is something I have had to do a lot of work on in my own life, noticing where my thoughts and the stories I'm telling other people and the things

I repeat over and over and over again, whether those things are creating the future that I want

and fighting for what is possible, fighting for where I'm going, or if they are focused on the perceived limitations, or sometimes it is the actual

limitations, but I'm spending a lot of my energy reinforcing those limitations and talking about how

because of X, Y, Z limitation, this result that I want just might not be possible for me. And this is a subtle but powerful

way that our words can either help us or hinder us in creating the results that we desire.

So this series is all about how to become a magnet. How can you literally bring and attract the exact opportunities,

the exact abundance, the exact connections that you desire into your path? And when I say that

on a daily basis, we miss some of the connections, opportunities, some of the abundance that we desire to experience

because we are fighting for our limitations.

And I'm including myself in this because I still do this.
