The Life You're Not Letting Yourself Try

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2112753/fan_mail/new] In this episode of The emPOWERed Half Hour, Becca sits down with Sue Willoughby, a no-BS life coach and certified Equus Coach® who helps women over 40 stop white-knuckling life and start actually living it. Sue grew up with an alcoholic parent, came out at 17, spent years winging it through reinvention after reinvention — roller derby referee, real estate agent, corporate trainer for an aerospace company she grew to hate, skydiver — and eventually found her way back to the one thing that always grounded her: horses. In this episode: * Why horses cut through the stories we tell ourselves faster than most therapists can * What "following the breadcrumbs" looks like when you have no clear destination * The difference between trying something on and committing to it forever * How podcasting became an unexpected doorway — and what it opened * The Michael Singer reframe that shifted how Sue approaches fear * What's waiting on the other side of the question you're not asking yourself Quotes from this episode: "It's okay to put on your beginner glasses and be a beginner." – Sue Willoughby "Ask yourself, what's the best that could happen from this moment or challenge, and how can I move toward that?" – Sue Willoughby "If you're open to it, the universe will lead you where you need to be." – Sue Willoughby "I think we, by nature, go to worst case." – Becca Powers "When you follow the breadcrumbs, opportunities open that you didn't even know existed." – Becca Powers Connect with Sue: * Website: WilloughbyCoaching.com [https://www.willoughbycoaching.com/] * Instagram: @SueWilloughby [https://www.instagram.com/sue_willoughby/] * Free podcast mini-series: Podcasting for Real Estate Pros [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcasting-for-real-estate-pros/id1843467070] (Apple and all major platforms) * Book a 30-min Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/willoughbycoaching/coaching-consult [https://calendly.com/willoughbycoaching/coaching-consult] Connect with Becca: Website: https://www.beccapowers.com [https://www.beccapowers.com] Instagram: @beccapowers1313 [https://www.instagram.com/beccapowers1313] LinkedIn: Becca Powers [https://www.linkedin.com/in/beccapowers1313/] Facebook: Becca Powers [https://www.facebook.com/beccapowers1313] Join the community: The Dragonfly Effect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1C4z83krsn/ [https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1C4z83krsn/] Get the book: A Return to Radiance: https://www.beccapowers.com/a-return-to-radiance [https://www.beccapowers.com/a-return-to-radiance] Book Becca to speak: https://www.beccapowers.com/keynotes [https://www.beccapowers.com/keynotes] Free resource: The High Performer's Path eBook:https://www.beccapowers.com/ [https://www.beccapowers.com/] 🌟 Did you love this episode of The emPOWERed Half Hour Podcast?
