163. Journal with Me: Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone & Closer to Your Goals

Ready to journal through WHY you're not taking action on your goals you SAY you want to achieve? This episode is a follow-up to Tuesday's conversation about networking for introverts (one of MY goals!).

I'm sharing the breakthrough moment that changed everything for me—and three journal prompts to help you stop using "responsibility" as an excuse to stay small.

What we're exploring:

  • Why I avoided networking for 11 months (even though it was my biggest goal)
  • The FOMO revelation that was keeping me stuck at home
  • How "being a good mom" was actually my protective pattern
  • Three prompts to uncover what's really behind your comfort zone

An A-HA moment I had on the episode: Your comfort zone isn't about being comfortable—it's about avoiding the fear of being selfish or letting others down. Let that sink in & apply it to your life.
