Drawing from her book Redefining Realistic, she inspires listeners to confront self-limiting beliefs and take actionable steps toward their dreams.

In this episode, you will learn: Shift from "Can I?" to "How can I?": Changing the question from a binary "Can I?" to an open-ended "How can I?" encourages a focus on solutions and possibilities rather than limitations. Embrace Challenges: Viewing challenges as opportunities to learn and grow can foster resilience. Instead of fearing failure, approach goals with curiosity about how close you can achieve them. Visualization and Goal Breakdown: Breaking goals into smaller, manageable steps and visualizing the process can help maintain motivation and clarity on the path forward. Support Systems: A strong support system that values you for who you are rather than your performance can provide a safety net that encourages risk-taking and exploration. Gamify the Process: Treating goal achievement as a game—asking "How close can I get?"—can make the journey enjoyable and reduce the pressure associated with high-stakes outcomes. Resilience Through Experience: Learning from setbacks and understanding that highly unlikely outcomes do not equate to impossibility can strengthen mental fortitude.

Coming up next on Passion Struck.
Sometimes it's just the tiniest little shift in our thinking that can help make big changes in our behavior, but also in our outcomes. One of the shifts I've been talking to people about is this how, live in the how, using this one word, this how word. And oftentimes people aren't even pursuing the things they really want because they're asking the wrong question and they're asking, can I do this?
For example, can I become the number one podcaster in the world?
whatever it is that goal might be if it's a can I that only leaves a binary option of answers yes or no and if it's something that someone really wants and it's just seems just so enormous then they're probably going to be like well if my choices are yes or no then if the answer is going to be probably not so then why bother trying whereas if you don't even ask that question can I but you say how can I it immediately turns shifts your focus into solutions it immediately is
You're not even thinking about whether you can or not. You're just thinking, how would I be able to do this?
