329. RE: The Evidence Against You

Join the Deciding Hour Priority Waitlist HERE!

It's October, which means it's easy to start looking at the gap between the year you planned in January and the year you've actually had—and then turn that gap into evidence that you failed.

But what if you looked at it differently? What if the things you accomplished, the things you didn't follow through on, the things you changed your mind about, and even the things that stopped you are all giving you valuable information about yourself?

In this episode of Wednesday in the Wild, I'm sharing how I naturally approach that gap. We'll look at what stopped you, what this year revealed about what's actually important to you, and how to take the things that matter in your heart and make them visible in the way you spend your time, attention, and energy. And most importantly, we're not writing off the rest of the year. There's still time to get focused, build momentum, and start creating what matters now.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How to look at the gap between what you intended and what actually happened without turning it into evidence against yourself.

• How to identify what stopped you from trying or following through.

• Why fear can be a barrier especially when something is deeply important to you.

• What this year can reveal about your priorities, preferences, and how you work.

• The difference between something being important to you in your heart and being important to you in your actual experience.

• How your calendar, attention, energy, and behavior reveal what you're truly prioritizing.

• Why you don't need to wait for January to use what you've learned and start building momentum.

In Short: The gap between the year you wanted and the year you had isn't proof that you failed—it's information. Find what this year is teaching you, put what truly matters into your real life, and use the time you have left to build momentum instead of waiting for January.
