The Dance of Change: From Playing It Safe to Showing Up Fully

Have you ever felt like you’re stuck in a cycle of playing it safe? This episode dives deep into that feeling and how we can move through it. We start with a quote that many of us can relate to:

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." – Anais Nin

If you’re feeling that itch to break out of your comfort zone, especially in your relationships, this one's for you. Whether it’s people-pleasing, perfectionism, or just staying small—it's time to talk about what it feels like to want to change but be afraid of the uncertainty that comes with it.

Discussed in the episode:

• The tension we feel when we want to change but are afraid to act.
• The natural stages of change—pre-contemplation, contemplation, action, and maintenance.
• How to recognize where you are in the process and how to work your way forward.
• The importance of support and accountability when trying to make lasting changes.
