810: When Its Easier to Just Not

Published: Oct. 2, 2023, 7 a.m.

I know what it\u2019s like to just not.\nJust not try the new sport.\nJust not sign up for the art class.\nJust not join the group of people whom I assume are smarter than me.\xa0\nJust not take that professional leap.\nJust not attend the event with people who seem to have it all figured out.\xa0\nJust not chase a dream.\xa0\nJust not admit I really want something.\nJust not believe I\u2019m worth it.\n\nI\u2019m curious if you ever get a case of the Just Nots?\nPerhaps this happens to you when you think something miiiight be kinda cool, but then you decide it feels too risky, too scary, or too vulnerable. You start to make up a bunch of reasons that it\u2019s just not the right time.\xa0Just not the right fit for you.\xa0\nJust not the next right step.\xa0And you end up Just Not doing the damn thing.\xa0\xa0\nAnd then, you find yourself sad, mad, disappointed, full of regret, maybe feeling some shame, and likely making promises about how next time you Just Will.\xa0\nIn this episode I talk through what the Just Nots look like and how they can impact your life. Then, we dig into the Just Wills - the fun stuff - where all sorts of magic happens.\xa0\xa0\nIt\u2019s ok if you\u2019re typically a Just Not kinda person.\xa0But, I think (hope) this episode nudges you to be a little bit more of a Just Will person.\xa0\xa0\n\nLink mentioned:\nJoin my October Retreat for Women Entrepreneurs: Influence & Ignite: Be the CEO and Thought Leader You Were Born to Be: shamelessmom.com/bizretreat\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
