68: Overcoming Self Doubt and Fear with Anneke
LIsten in as I coach Anneke on putting her self doubt behind her so she can make the career changes she longs for by tapping into her unique gifts.\xa0 It is important we all take time to look at the gifts we were born with. They are the gifts that lead to your calling, and the gifts that make you, you. Often, we disconnect from our gifts and the truth of who we are. It is when we are too paralyzed and blinded by self-doubt that we forget about and disconnect from our natural gifts. This call with Anneke was the first episode of the Over and On With It podcast. This session stands out for me because we explored the question, \u201cWho am I?\u201d and because of the level of vulnerability Anneke shared. Remember, we get to choose who we are. Not being who we are can be suffocating. We are not defined by other people\u2019s views of us. We are all born with natural gifts from the divine. It\u2019s up to us to embrace them and use them. After listening to this call I welcome you to revisit and complete the \u2018Who am I?\u2019 essence exercise from my introductory episode, The Why Behind this Podcast.
