- The reality of putting in the work to see change (00:58:07)
Join Audrey and Sarah as they deep dive into a highly relevant theme that's been showing up in both their lives for the past few weeks: what it actually looks like to put in work to see change. Some themes that are covered in this episode: How social media affects confidence of setting long term goals Overcoming the unknowns of change How your inner child belief system affects what you do and don’t do And what’s even better? They dropped a handful of journal prompts that can help you uncover and bring self awareness around why you might not be seeing change in an area(s) of your life. Why do I think I am finding myself back at the point I was before? Is my resistance to change based on facts or assumptions? Do I not trust or feel capable in my own ability to make change happen? Am I operating based on the skepticism that change can’t happen for me even though I want to see change badly? What does being committed in the process of change look like for me? What am I going to do about it?
