In this episode, we talk about the \u201cthings\u201d that hold us back from being who we really could be. We all have stories about why we are where we are and why it is ok to stay there. Often these stories are fear-based. We live in subtle or abject terror about what we are worth or what others think of us.\n\nWe have monsters that happen outside of us. Weather, illness, pandemic, setbacks, betrayal. We don\u2019t control those, but we do control how we act in the face of those things. Then we have inner monsters from our past, from our failures and the word of others. Learning to master those \u201cthings\u201d is the single most important key to making the most out of the gifts we have been given and the life we have.
