Alix Penning: Being the Hero of Your Own Story

Permission to Kick Ass

I’ve never really thought of myself as the star of my own life story. Star in a rock band? Absolutely. But I never really thought of my life as a movie until this conversation with my friend Alix Penning. It might seem a little diva-esque or egomaniacal to think of yourself in this manner, but trust me… you’re gonna want to give it a try after you listen to this one.

Can’t-Miss Moments From This Episode:

• Are you unconsciously playing the sidekick in the story of your life? How to get back into the driver seat and be the hero in your own show
  
• Natural talent is great, but it’s not going to get you to your goals on its own… here’s what will
  
• Three questions to ask yourself - these will help get to the root of your fears, so you can punch those fears in the face and get moving again
  
• Alix’s “Disney Princess” trick for getting yourself unstuck, whenever you hit a wall or feel overwhelmed (don’t blame me if this one gets Frozen songs stuck in your head)
  
• The “S” word I can’t stand… what to say instead of “should” to shut down the automatic fear response that keeps you safe, secure, and stagnating

You don’t want to miss this one. Listen now!
