Welcome back to the Embodied Leadership Podcast. I'm your host, Rachael Meeds. We have an incredibly juicy conversation lined up where we dive deep into the limiting narratives we tell ourselves, specifically the "I don't know" stories. These stories can often be a way to avoid taking responsibility for what we truly want and desire.
In today's episode, we explore how these narratives show up in our lives and leadership, and how they can hold us back from fully owning our brilliance. I share insights from my work with clients, my own personal experiences, and offer practical advice on how to move beyond these limiting stories. Trust me, this is a conversation you don't want to miss!
