Hi hi friends,
Lately, I'm choosing the things that light me the F up. The things that I send a jolt of YES from my stomach to my brain. The things that propel me to move, create, and feel alive.
You see, the pandemy slowed me down in ways that I needed, but also ways I didn't—in the ways I moved, in the ways I wanted to connect with people, and in the ways I wanted to create. And even though we aren't quite out of this hole, I've actively decided on human-pinballing myself to wherever and whoever I want to be.
Heidi Powell, who is on this week's episode of Shiny Objects, made me jump when she said, "I didn't believe I was worthy of having big dreams."
I said, excuse me, what? THE Heidi Powell exposed her self-doubt and imposter syndrome? And then immediately I thought, ah, yes we ALL experience this. Why is it so easy to put humans on a pedestal and forget that they have a very human story, with very human feelings as well?
So this is our call to flip the switch on whatever limiting thoughts you're having about what you do– whether it's a new workout, a PR, your dream job, a teacher training ... if it's giving you that jolt, please, please follow that energy.
If Heidi freaking Powell can think she's not worthy, that really puts it in perspective, doesn't it? Just remember that we are not alone in having those moments of self-doubt AND look at what's possible when you start believing yourself worthy.
Heidi's whole episode is worth a listen—you'll get to hear about how far she'll go out of her way for her favorite coffee drink, among other super relatable tidbits.
Now go chase your dreams, no matter how big!
