Episode 115 - Stop waiting for permission | How to stop seeking approval and start trusting yourself
We’ve all been there before…
You have this dream that’s tugging on your sleeve like a younger version of you begging to be seen and heard. It’s asking you to show up for it and for yourself.
But you hesitate. Why?
Why are you waiting for permission to go after your dreams?
Now maybe you’re sitting there thinking, “Hey, Alessia, that’s totally not me! Look at all the things I’m doing!” And if that’s you then I am beyond happy for you!
But I know that the reality for a lot of people is that there’s a million reasons (read: excuses) that get in the way of us moving towards the thing we say we want most.
Where are you waiting for someone else's approval to go after what you really want?We’ve all done it. We’ve all been there. Caught in the sneaky moments where we doubt, question and second-guess ourselves out of taking action because we’re silently waiting for someone to stand up, clap and say “Wow, that’s a great idea!”
And as much as I wish that for all of us, the truth is this:
No one is coming to clap for you, so you had better learn to clap for yourself.
If you want the goal — go after it.
If you have a desire — move toward it.
If you have a dream — chase it.
Whatever the thing is, I can promise you that sitting on your hands is not going to get you there.
And here's one more thing I want you to sit with:
you will never know a decision is right until you're standing on the other side of it. Waiting for certainty, waiting for someone else's approval, waiting to feel "ready" — none of that is coming. The decision is the permission. The deciding is the readiness.
That’s what we’re talking about on the podcast today.
If you’re ready to give YOURSELF permission to finally go after what you want then this episode is for you!
PS. If you need a bit of support making shit happen, that's pretty much what I do for a living, right? rEach out and let's make shit happen together and now. In this episode, we explore:
✧ Why permission for your dreams will never come from the outside and why that's actually freeing
✧ The trifecta of validation we seek (and why none of it can replace believing in yourself)
✧ How endlessly consuming content can become a sneaky way of avoiding action
✧ Why my own clients rarely "finish" my coaching method — and why that's actually a good thing!
✧ The mindset shift that changes everything
✧ How to give yourself permission to follow your intuition, trust your journey, and move forward without anyone's stamp of approval
