“Practice doesn’t make perfect—it creates presence.” What if the stories you tell yourself—about who you “should” be—are holding you back? In Episode 77 of Live Into Your Brilliance, we challenge the myths around practice and uncover its deeper truth: it’s not about the payoff—it’s about the power of showing up. 💡 Here’s what we explore: 👉🏻 The Stories That Hold You Back: What happens when you let go of the narratives you’ve been carrying—about yourself, your life, and how things “should” look? 👉🏻The Power of Showing Up: Practice isn’t about achieving something external. It’s about creating a life where you’re fully present—for yourself, your choices, and the people you care about. The real value of practice isn’t measured by perfection or outcomes. It’s measured by who you become when you decide to let go and simply show up. 🎧 Tune In: [Link in Comments] #LiveIntoYourBrilliance #LetGoOfTheStory #PracticePresence #ShowUpFully #BeHereNow

🌱 Are you truly leading, or are you just playing the part? 🌱 In today’s Live Into Your Brilliance episode, myself and Mark Bilbe dive into a question every leader should ask: Do you really want to lead, or are you just going through the motions? Leadership is more than a title—it’s a commitment to grow and nurture, both in ourselves and in others. But here’s the kicker: wanting to be a great leader doesn’t make you one. The truth? It’s about the willingness to put in the work. Like tending a bonsai tree, you can’t just plant the seed and hope for the best. You need to actively nurture every inch of growth. 💬 "If your plants are dying, it’s not the plants’ problem—it’s the gardener’s problem." Key insights: 🌿 Role vs. Reality: Holding a leadership title doesn’t mean you’re fulfilling the role. Real leadership is in the work and the self-awareness you bring to it. 🌿 The Bonsai Trap: Why wanting a beautiful “garden” isn’t enough—growth requires consistent, intentional effort. 🌿 Honesty Over Illusions: Being honest with yourself might mean realizing you’re not fully committed to leading—and that realization can be the most freeing moment in your career. 🌿 The Courage to Step Aside: If leadership isn’t your true path, letting go could open the door to something far more fulfilling. This episode isn’t just for leaders; it’s for anyone questioning if they’re truly committed to the path they’re on. Ready to get real with yourself? 🌱 Listen now.
