Episode 11: Radical Honesty: 10 Ways You’re Keeping Yourself Stuck (And How to Finally Change) | Part 1 of 3

If you know you’re meant for more—but keep finding yourself stuck in the same patterns, waiting for the right moment, or wondering why success still feels out of reach—this episode is for you.

Here’s the truth: we don’t get what we want in life. We get what we repeatedly do. And if your habits, thoughts, and energy aren’t aligned with the life and business you’re here to create, it’s time to get brutally honest with yourself and make some changes.

This episode is a must-listen for creatives, coaches, and entrepreneurs who are done with playing small, waiting for permission, and letting fear run the show.

In Part 1, we look at:

🔹 The hidden ways you’re unconsciously waiting for permission (and how to break free).
🔹 Why blaming time, money, competition, or circumstances is keeping you stuck.
🔹 How to stop playing the victim to your energy levels and create real momentum.
🔹 The sneaky patterns of self-doubt, fear, and imposter syndrome that are sabotaging your success.
🔹 The first step to taking full ownership of your results—and unlocking your next level.

This episode is packed with straight-up truth, no-fluff strategies, and the mindset shift that will change everything. Because the moment you decide to take radical responsibility for your success is the moment everything shifts.

Takeaways:

✨ Your habits—not your desires—determine your results.
✨ Radical responsibility is the fastest way to move from stuck to unstoppable.
✨ You can break the patterns keeping you stuck—but only if you’re willing to face them head-on.

I hope you enjoy this episode. With love and light, Vanessa ✨
