Do you know there are 3 blocks that stop people from podcasting? I’m pulling back the curtain on something HUGE. What if I told you there are just three things silently holding you back from living your best life—and no one’s talking about them? And here’s the kicker: you probably don’t even realize they’re there.

I see it all the time—clients, fellow podcasters, even myself—we all hit walls, but it’s not what you think. Forget about hard work and talent; the real barriers are sneaky and buried deep! Once you spot them, you'll realize they're everywhere. But don’t worry, I’m not just spilling the secrets; I’m here to show you how to smash through those obstacles and finally step into the life you've been dreaming about!

Sounds impossible? Maybe. But that’s the thing about the impossible—it’s only impossible until someone shows you how it’s done.

So what are these 3 blocks? Here’s a taste:

You Have Something to Say

• Ever feel like you’re out of words? Trust me, you have something important to share; it’s all about discovering it!

Fear of Being Seen

• Think you’re scared of failing? Nope! It’s really about showing your true self. Embrace that visibility, and watch everything shift!

Fear of Judgment

• Believe it’s others holding you back? Not quite—the toughest critic is usually you. Good news: I’ll show you how to turn that around!

That’s all I’m going to give away for now. If you want the full breakdown, you need to listen to this episode. Trust me, these three things are sabotaging you more than you know—and once you uncover them, your life will never be the same.

Here’s the deal: I believe in you, even if you don’t right now. These blocks are holding you down, but guess what? You can break them. Yes, YOU. But only if you’re ready to step up and claim what’s yours.

So, what’s your next move? Are you ready to stop playing small? No more excuses. No more playing small.

🎙 Listen now on The Adventure Paradox Podcast and get ready to uncover the barriers standing in your way.

Want to go even deeper? Visit our Instagram account: @theadventureparadox to learn more, or maybe even reach out to be a guest. I’d love to hear your story!

P.S. I’m so excited to tease something super special coming up in the next few weeks—a brand new series that’s going to feature some incredible women balancing it all. And trust me, these mamas aren’t just raising kids—they’re juggling so much more. You don’t want to miss this series. It’s going to be fun, fierce, and maybe even a little competitive. Think parenting, challenges, and everything in between. Stay tuned—it’s going to be epic.

So what are you waiting for? It’s time to step up, grab the mic, and claim the life you’re meant for. Your adventure starts now.

Catch you soon!

Join me for this powerful conversation on embracing imperfection, showing up for yourself, and sharing your voice with the world, whether through a podcast or in everyday life.

Key Takeaways:

• Rejection is God's protection: A reminder that change, especially during back-to-school season, is an opportunity for growth.

Ever wondered how a newborn puppy sees the world?

In this meditation, recorded with my children on National Dog Day, we dive in to the 5 senses according to a puppy from birth to 4 weeks old. This is a fun spin on the traditional 5 senses meditation and is family friendly - you may even learn a few things about what, when and perhaps why puppies can see, hear, smell, touch and taste things.

If you are looking to find your voice and share it with the next generation, sign up for a free mini session with me to learn more about my podcasting services and see if we are a good fit:
