Discovery Corner® Podcast Show Notes
Episode 7 Stop waiting. Start emerging.
In this solo episode, I embrace the spring, talk about a re-emergence to coincide with warmer weather, lighter days and a more positive and hopeful time, offering personal reflections and how to harness the opportunities that spring offers.
I even ask you to channel your inner bear (or relevant spirit animal!) and give you permission to stop accumulating unlived things, to embrace the season and go after what you want.
Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode:
- There isn’t a right or perfect time: there’s no better time to start the thing (or things!) that you’ve been putting off than now.
- Emerging isn’t a reinvention and you’re not changing anything about you: it’s about becoming who you really are and who you’ve always been.
- If you look outside, spring comes to life gradually: for us, our green shoots need to be nurtured and taken care of.
