Ever feel like something invisible is keeping you from living the life you truly want? In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers on the four biggest things that hold us back—and how to break free of these Big 4 Tethers.

I’ll take you inside my own experience of making a big, scary move to Oregon, not as a forever decision, but as an experiment in following my inner knowing. We’ll also dive into the powerful story of Maya Lombarts, who defied medical expectations and family pressures to create a life that aligns with her true self. Her journey is a testament to what happens when you stop listening to fear and start trusting your own voice.
From pragmatic advice to mindset and somatic exercises to support you in releasing tethers, this episode is a must-listen as you step into 2025.
As always, our Thursday Thread ends with a mini breathwork session.

Here’s what we’re unpacking in this episode:

• The four sneaky things that keep you stuck (and how to move past them)
• How small, intentional steps can unlock possibilities you never imagined
• Why fear of permanence is one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves
• The power of joy and intuition in guiding you toward your next best step
• How to shift your mindset to see challenges as opportunities instead of roadblocks

4 Tethers Holding You Back From Living Your Best Life:

1. Hearing that a decision is permanent
2. Being afraid of what other people will think
3. Feeling like you have to have it all figured out
4. Listening to what others this is bet for you

At the end of the episode, I’ll lead you through a guided meditation to help you connect with your own inner wisdom—because the answers you’re looking for? They’re already inside you.

Let’s do this. Hit play and start stepping into the life that’s been waiting for you.
