Self-doubt and uncertainty often loom over us like unwelcome shadows, whispering tales of failure and inadequacy. But what if we could transform these foes into allies on our journey towards self-improvement? This episode lays bare the strategies to overcome the internal barriers erected by our own minds, urging listeners to fall in love with the process of growth, rather than obsessing over the destination. Discover the art of expecting and accepting our mind's efforts to shield us from discomfort, and learn why enduring discomfort is non-negotiable for those eager to evolve.
Listen in as we celebrate the resilience, creativity, and empathy that define our species. I challenge you to consider how we might tip the scales towards optimizing our potential, encouraging a delicate dance between the comforts of the known and the exhilarating unknown of our full capabilities. Reflecting on my own experiences and those shared by adventurers and professionals alike, we discuss the unique ways individuals assess risk and pursue their life's calling, urging you to ponder your own definitions and the trajectory you wish to carve out for yourself.

In this final episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I reflect on the changes and challenges I faced in 2023, including moving to a new office space and opening a multi-purpose teaching area. I share my experience of slipping into depression and making difficult decisions about my podcast. Despite feeling deflated, I surrendered to the universe and started believing in myself. Speaking at a conference reinvigorated me, and I decided to rebrand my podcast to explore deeper topics and promote well-being and joy. I introduce my new podcast, I AM HUMAN, and express gratitude to my listeners.
Thank you for listening! A lot more episodes are coming in 2024!
