How hard does it have to be, really??  After I had children, on one of our first ski vacations, I told my cousin that I realized "it's hard either way" - staying at home and managing the doldrums of mom life or taking a trip and trying to have energy to ski and take care of kids in different environments.  We get to "choose our hard," but we also have a choice about whether or not things are even hard.  For example, is raising kids really "meant to be hard?"  Or, what am I doing to make it harder on myself AND what can I do to make it a little bit better?  Is it things really hard for us, or is it the belief that things are really hard? In this episode, I drop truth bombs from many life coaches and friends who have taught me how to address this problem and live my best life, even and especially in the challenges or choices we face.  A few key takeaways and opportunities:"There isn't anything in the space that you did not put there." - AnyaAuthentically do things that help you get  better."If you don't love it, leave it." - Jasmin MankeDetermine what you need and not what you want.Learn when to use the "take a break" tool to gain clarity.How do you decipher your dream and go after it?A short meditation to gain clarity on your "hard"If you are on a transition journey, I've been there and learned from my experience.
