Quitter's Guilt: What it is, and how it might be tethering you

Ever felt yourself shackled by the fear of the unknown? Are you feeling the calling to make a big life change, but you"re afraid of the consequences, or feel stymied by how your decision might impact others? In this Thursday Thread episode, I call back to the Tuesday conversation with Kristin Lee Geiger, who dropped a NYC fashion design job most people in the industry would DROOL over,  to become a yoga teacher. I share about the power of the 2 am Truth: That moment where you have a stomach-punching realization something is not right with my life. I talk about the warning signs that you aren"t following the messages coming from your intuition. One of the big ones is GUILT.  From the seemingly inconsequential choices at the supermarket to the duties we perform out of sheer obligation, I reveal the subtle ways in which our lives become tethered by the guilt of quitting—and how confronting it can pave the way to personal growth and joy. Harnessing personal power and choice is a mantra I encourage you to adopt as you recognize the impact your decisions hold over your life. It"s important to recognize how deeply ingrained these tethers are. From genetic coding being revealed by epigenetics, the influence of inherited patterns,  the beliefs we hold, the patterning in our nervous system – these tethers hold down the untapped potential within us all. Join me in challenging norms and daring to reshape your own destiny with this big question: What would I do if it was completely up to me? As always, I end this episode with a breathwork exercise to support you in breaking down the walls of limitation. Step into your unbound potential and celebrate the exhilarating freedom of personal power. Support the show Ready to untether? It"s time to unleash the brilliant unicorn you were both to be!
