episode how i beat my biggest hater (my nervous system) cover

Description

For a long time, I believed I needed to try harder, be more consistent, and stay focused. However, the real issue was deeper and more uncomfortable. I knew what needed to be done but struggled to take action. In this discussion, I delve into what's really happening beneath the surface with your nervous system, why you might be delaying life-changing actions, and why it's challenging to break through personal barriers even when you desire progress. Discover the transformative shift I made that altered my approach to pressure and helped me build a life that once seemed unreachable. I explore the concept of life design and how your beliefs, inherited patterns, and daily actions shape your reality. Creative strategy and freelancing have been pivotal in my journey, enabling real-time exploration and growth. I never took the corporate path; instead, I scaled my freelance business to six figures within 18 months, paid off my student debt, and established 'She Freelances' to empower women to achieve similar success. This channel offers insights on creative strategy, freelancing, building a freelance business, attracting clients, and monetizing skills in today's economy. I also discuss why specialized knowledge and freelancing are the future of work. Become someone who can design their life and earn a living from it. Join me as I share what it truly takes to change your mindset and embrace a fulfilling life. 0:00: intro 2:23: your nervous system vs your goals 3:50: procrastination, overthinking, perfectionism 5:45: invisible contracts 9:00: the 3 patterns 12:20: my money story 13:04: my rewiring framework #nervoussystem #lifedesign #freelancing #creativestrategy #personalgrowth #mindsetshift See show notes: https://inlet.fm/denee/episodes/69ee54b968e4c61d3d3b7b71 [https://inlet.fm/denee/episodes/69ee54b968e4c61d3d3b7b71] Learn more about your ad choices.
