EP 91: The social media post that knocked me flat

EP 91: The social media post that knocked me flat9 Aug12 min

<p>A few weeks ago I was on a flight home from the Gold Coast, scrolling LinkedIn on the free Wi-Fi (the small joys), when I came across a post that genuinely knocked me for six. It was from a coach named Jude Fredman, and it was about the thing none of us want to hear: that the work is going to take years, it&#39;s going to be slow and boring and uncomfortable, and there is no shortcut.</p><p>In this episode, I&#39;m sharing that post and being really honest about why it hit so hard for me. I talk about starting this very podcast, the early ambition I had for it, the reality of what it&#39;s actually looked like behind the scenes (the no&#39;s, the re-records, the nights I&#39;ve wanted to quit), and why regret hurts more than the hard work ever will.</p><p><br></p><p>Today&#39;s episode is proudly sponsored by my absolute favorite empowering stationery brand, <strong>MiGoals</strong>!
