About this episode

The good stuff is already in the here and now...  In this episode, Dorothy gets real about the beauty and the busyness of a season that's full,  Some people call it Maycember....soccer tournaments, dance recitals, baseball finals, end-of-school celebrations, and why that's exactly the time to slow down and anchor into gratitude. This one is a reminder that joy doesn't have to wait for completion. The process, the practice, the ordinary Tuesday morning? That's where life is happening. Dorothy also gets into something she sees a lot in the women she coaches: resistance to even wanting what you want. Whether it's a business, a relationship, a financial goal, or a creative dream, we can talk ourselves out of our own desires before we ever take a single step. This episode permits you to let those desires exist, without apology. In This Episode You'll Learn ✔ Why we tend to delay happiness until something is "done" and how to shift that ✔ How Dorothy's meditation practice taught her that the journey is the practice ✔ The connection between workouts, consistency, and letting go of all-or-nothing thinking ✔ Why resistance to your desires might be the thing quietly blocking your next level ✔ How other people's beliefs and judgments can sneak into the way you live your life and what to do about it ✔ A simple mindset shift for moving through seasons of change with more presence and peace This Episode Is Especially Helpful If...
