What happens when you give yourself permission to dream bigger—and stop letting fear or other people’s opinions shrink what feels possible?In this episode, I’m joined by executive coach Andrea Schwarz for a conversation about personal growth, self-belief, courageous action, and making waves with the dreams that matter to us.We talk about what it means to really give ourselves room to dream, the people we surround ourselves with, and what can happen when we begin believing that more might actually be possible.This one is full of heart, wisdom, a little magic, and plenty of possibility.And if you&#39;d like to connect with Andrea, as she shares at the end of the episode, she would LOVE that!Here&#39;s how to find her:website: <a href="https://imuaola.com/" rel="nofollow">Executive Coaching for Leaders | IMUA OLA</a>Linkedin: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/imuaola/" rel="nofollow">Andrea Schwarz | LinkedIn</a>Instagram: @imuaolaHappy connecting!Let’s dive in!

Struggling to stay consistent because you’re working toward a goal but not seeing results? Whether you’re building a new habit, pursuing personal growth, or trying not to give up, slow progress can make you question whether your effort is making a difference.In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful visual that has helped me keep going when change feels slow.

Feeling stuck can make it difficult to see solutions, clarity, or possibility—even when they’re closer than you think.In this episode, I’m sharing a recent aha about what happened when I shifted from “no” to “maybe”—and how one simple question helped a solution begin to appear.Sometimes we don’t need complete certainty. We just need enough openness to see what wasn’t visible before.Let’s dive in!

Feeling Stuck? Start With Maybe

Personal growth sometimes requires more than learning something new—it asks us to unlearn old expectations, choose courage, and become more authentically ourselves. Sometimes the greatest growth begins when we stop trying to follow every rule and give ourselves permission to find our own way.In this warm and honest conversation, Katie and I talk about career pivots, creativity, asking for help, choosing discomfort, and the surprising places our curiosity can lead us.It’s a beautiful reminder that our paths don’t have to look like anyone else’s—and there’s so much possibility waiting when we’re willing to explore what feels true for us.If you enjoy the conversation as much as I believe you will, you can connect with Katie on Instagram @katie_currens. You can also check out her podcast, One Spark Stories, where Katie helps you pursue your passions one spark at a time.Let’s dive in!

Self-doubt has a way of shrinking our dreams before we’ve even given ourselves the chance to explore them.Personal growth sometimes starts by giving ourselves permission to imagine a bigger future—and then taking one small step toward it.In this episode, I’m sharing a simple exercise that helped me envision my future self in a whole new way, while uncovering things I can begin activating right now. We’ll talk about growth, connection, taking action, and how the smallest choices can begin to make what we want feel a little more possible.You don’t have to have the whole path figured out. Sometimes, you just need a place to begin.Let’s dive in!

Sometimes we choose the next step with excitement, only to discover that moving forward feels a whole lot messier than we expected.In this episode, I’m sharing what happened when an exciting new challenge brought self-doubt and unexpected resistance along with it—and what helped me keep moving through it. We’ll talk about navigating the messy middle, taking the next step even when things don’t feel the way we hoped, and recognizing that sometimes the challenge itself is part of what’s helping us grow.If you’re navigating something that feels harder, messier, or simply more stretching than you expected, this one’s for you.Let’s dive in.

You did something brave. You navigated the discomfort. You even started to feel pretty good about how you handled it.And then… here comes another wave you weren&#39;t expecting.In this episode, I’m sharing a real-time look at what happened when second-guessing, vulnerability, and self-consciousness showed up after I thought I was already in the clear—and what I’m learning about courage, growth, and the surprising places they can take us.Let&#39;s dive in!

Taking the brave step can feel like the hardest part… until you realize there might be something waiting for you on the other side that you weren&#39;t expecting.In this episode, I’m sharing something I’m walking through in real time—and what I’m discovering about courage, uncertainty, growth, and the uncomfortable space that can come after we finally do the thing we’ve been hesitating to do.If you’ve ever taken a bold step and discovered that courage was still required on the other side of it, this one’s for you. Let&#39;s dive in!

Doubt has a way of showing up at the exact moment we’re trying to move forward.In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when the path forward gets uncomfortable, why that doesn’t always mean something has gone wrong, and how we can keep moving despite the uncertainty and anything else that gets in our way.If you’re seeking clarity, stepping into something new, or somewhere in the messy middle, this one’s for you.et&#39;s dive in!Also, follow along at @letty.joy on Instagram for additional content about how to grow so you can get from where you are to where you want to be.

What happens when two friends who share a passion for personal growth sit down for an honest conversation?In this special first guest episode, I&#39;m joined by my dear friend, Ann Dunagan, for a conversation about courage, growth, and what it really looks like to start before you feel ready.

Have you ever felt stuck... not because you didn&#39;t want something badly enough, but because your mind had already decided it wasn&#39;t possible?In this episode, I share a personal story that reminded me how quickly things can change when we begin looking at them differently.If you&#39;ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, I hope this conversation reminds you that possibility isn&#39;t just something we hope for. Sometimes, it begins to grow the moment we choose to think differently.Let&#39;s dive in!

What if the thing that&#39;s keeping you comfortable is also keeping you from discovering what you&#39;re capable of?If you&#39;ve been feeling stuck, second-guessing yourself, or feeling paralyzed by self-doubt, this episode is for you.This week, I&#39;m sharing an insight I didn&#39;t see coming.As I found myself reflecting on the fact that I&#39;m just two weeks away from a major milestone, I couldn&#39;t help but think about how easily it might never have happened. That realization led me to a powerful connection between courage, comfort, and capability.

One of the greatest gifts we can offer the people we love is helping them see possibility where they once saw limitations. While we can&#39;t change someone&#39;s mindset for them, we can encourage, support, and model a different way of looking at life.In this episode, I&#39;m sharing a simple principle that has shaped my own journey and a few ways we can help cultivate more hope, belief, and possibility—both for ourselves and for others.Let&#39;s dive in!

Fear, hesitation, self doubt, and overthinking can quietly keep us from taking the very steps that would help us grow. In this episode, we’re talking about what courageous action actually unlocks — especially when you move forward while still having the doubt.After sharing a vulnerable episode about the recent 6.0 earthquake here in Hawaii, I found myself facing another layer of growth behind the scenes. I almost talked myself out of sharing the experience at all, and this episode is a reflection on the thoughts I had to work through in order to say yes anyway.We’re talking about hesitation, resistance, courageous action, belief building, and the unexpected momentum that can begin to unfold once we stop retreating and start moving forward despite the discomfort.I also share a powerful question that emerged from this experience — one that I’m still exploring myself — and I think it might spark something meaningful in you too.Let&#39;s dive in!
