Hey guys, welcome to today's podcast. I hate you well. I restart this podcast like 10 times now

because my throat keeps getting really croaky and I'm like, excuse me, I'm on a bit of a time

schedule. Can you not do this to me? Anyways, I think I'm all good now. And I think something that I

just want to go straight in with is something about leveling up as a human and we do this you know it's another word for

growth but I think leveling up is like another phrase that we can use because sometimes you can

really see it in yourself or other people and hopefully in yourself and we've all had it you know

there's times where you're one version of yourself and then suddenly maybe you know you feel

more confident or you prefer your style more or it's changed or you've got new friends or

you've let go of some friends or you've got a new job or you live someone new or you've got a new lifestyle.

And it's those little tweaks that you're like, oh yeah, I've leveled up. And it's so funny, not funny, but like at every age, you know, when I was 15, you know, I was like, oh yeah, like I'm the shit. And then you turn 16 and then you turn 17. And then, you know, even within this year, I think I've had so many different times where, like, you level up in a human and not in a bad egotistical, like, leveling up way, but like in a growth way.

And something I want to give you like almost like a little thing to think about imagine you're on a ladder okay and you're

trying to climb up it's all of our goals to climb up and you've got one hand on the step in front of

you or the rail whatever you call it and you're trying to climb up the thing is you've got one hand

on the rail below and you're not letting go and when we don't let go of old versions of ourselves or things

that we used to do or things that used to keep us safe, it's almost like, right, you're trying to

get up, but you're still holding on the one below you. And so you don't have another hand to actually

get up there and keep going. And so I think sometimes that's really nice to hear because the truth is growth is never easy and it takes scary things.

It's not that it doesn't take scary actions or things that scare us and then life's better.

No, like every time I've grown as a human and this will be the same for you it it was something a little bit

different and it's because you know we have these fears that something bad will happen but most of the

time it's the thing that actually lets us grow into the better person and the better version of ourselves

and so if you're currently in a position where you're torn between something or
