3 Reasons Why You HAVEN'T Been Able To Change (& How To Overcome Them) | Ep. 23

Let's Unpack That with Alex & Grace | Christian Life Coaches, Faith At Work, Soul Care, Kingdom Leaders, God-Centered Professionals, Biblical Career Advice

This is probably one of the MOST IMPORTANT episodes we've recorded to date.
Ever wonder: What is it exactly that's keeping you STUCK?
Whether it's overcoming comparison, fear of people's opinions, imposter syndrome, financial anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, confusion and purposelessness, insert-your-own-struggle-here... today, we're unpacking (like, really unpacking) 3 common barriers to experiencing lasting freedom and transformation.
We talk about everything from the impact of our childhood experiences, to how to get out of toxic self-talk cycles, to our heart-mind connection and how to get authentically - and powerfully - connected with God and ourselves.
Join us as we dissect the invisible culprits likely holding you back from seeing the changes you deeply desire, as well as give you practical examples to help you take steps forward.
