Taking risks and embracing change are essential for personal transformation, and in this episode, Jane Bertch shares how curiosity, creativity, courage, and community serve as powerful tools for personal development.
Drawing on her own leap from Chicago to Paris and her journey of building a business, Jane offers her view on what it really takes to embrace change. How does curiosity help you take that first step? Why does creativity fuel your confidence? What role does courage play in everyday decisions? And how can the right community push you further than you’d go alone?
Jane invites you to explore these questions and leaves listeners with a quote from Anaïs Nin: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to bloom.” It’s a reminder that growth often requires stepping out of the comfort of staying the same.
Quotes
- “If you want to make big changes, you have to make big changes. I think that’s the formula. I don’t see another way around.” (00:59 | Jane Bertch)
- “Taking risks is a lot about listening to your intuition. And while I do believe in an element of magic from the universe, your intuition is this beautiful database of information and experiences that you’ve collected up to now.” (03:44 | Jane Bertch)
- “Try to think about how you can use your curiosity. How can you use it to help you take those tiny steps forward, which will allow you to take a risk and moving towards the direction that you want? Curiosity is such a powerful tool.” (06:54 | Jane Bertch)
- “Courage can be not moving forward. Courage can be having the conviction to stand still. And courage can be the courage to quit, to stop, to know that the fight you fought was a wonderful one.” (12:37 | Jane Bertch)
