Am I the Only One?

106: What Cinderella Got Wrong! Cait’s Take on the Reality of Building Your Dreams

A dream is a wish that your heart makes" are iconic lyrics. Lyrics you probably heard 1000 times as a young girl. After watching my daughter listen to this story on her Tonies box, it got me thinking about building our dreams as adults and what it actually takes.
On today's episode, I give encouragement on the grit, faith, work ethic, and belief it takes to make your dreams a reality.
Here is what we dig into today:
-Are you waiting for someone or something? How can you shift from waiting to taking action.
-Is heartache necessary in building your dreams? What comes after the heartache? Does it make you better or bitter?
-What is faith when it comes to our dreams and the actions we take? Do you have the complete confidence in yourself to make it real?
We end with reflecting on this quote from Richie Norton in the book, "Anti-Time Management" ... “The job of a dream is to set you free. Don't turn dreams into jobs." I know today's episode will encourage and inspire you to take action today!

105: The Perspective Shifts I am Implementing This Year and How They Can Help You Too!

On today's solo episode, I talk about ways I have been implementing a powerful perspective shift as I look at my goals in 2023. I believe these three shifts are powerful ways to actually reach goals this year and look at the long term of living the life we actually want.
The three shifts:
1. This year is a stepping stone- it isn't the end all be all if you do or don't reach your goals. It is a piece of the puzzle in the entire picture of life. There are two tangible examples shared here that you will really relate to
2. Reframe comparison and lack to curiosity and abundance- this is a game changer if you ever wonder if you are "good enough" to accomplish your goals or wonder why others reach their goals sooner than you.
3. Do something radically different- this part is up to you but it is powerful! When you look at setting goals and achieving them are you taking the same action over and over again? Is it actually helping? What if you did something totally different?
