60. What If You Don’t Have to Choose? with Kris Lehman

What if you’re not stuck…you just think you have to pick one lane and stay in it?

Kris Lehman is a full-time HR leader…who’s also leading international retreats, taking a group of women to Croatia, and buying a house in Costa Rica.

She made a choice and decided against the “pick one lane and stay there” route.

We talk about what shifted for her, how she moved from “either/or” to “and,” and why so many of us keep waiting to live instead of actually doing the things we want now.

What We Explore

From “or” to “and”How letting go of the pressure to choose one identity or path opened up entirely new possibilities…and how “and” creates space instead of pressure.

Boundaries that actually feel goodNot just saying no…but building your life around what matters most so your “no” becomes clear, confident, and grounded.

Why we wait to live (and how to stop)The trap of postponing joy for “someday”…and what it looks like to start living now…without blowing up your life in the process.

The stories we don’t realize we’re telling ourselvesFrom “I should clean my own house” to “I don’t deserve that”...We discuss how these unexamined beliefs quietly shape our choices.

Contemplative practice (without the woo-woo)What it actually means to be more present in your life…and how it can be as simple as a few breaths, a walk, or noticing what’s happening in the moment.

Your mind is not youOne of the most powerful shifts: realizing you can observe your thoughts instead of automatically believing them.
