So I had this epiphany the other day while my neighbor was telling me I should "be more realistic" about my garden plans (apparently wanting to grow a jungle paradise in my backyard is "too ambitious" π).
And it hit me: When did we all agree that "realistic" was the goal?
Like, seriously... who decided that our wildest, most expansive dreams should fit into neat little boxes labeled "sensible" and "practical"?
Plot twist: Your soul didn't get the memo about being realistic.
In fact, I'm pretty sure when you signed up for this Earth experience, there was fine print that said: "Warning: You will be encouraged to shrink your magnificence. Please ignore this programming and proceed with being unreasonably amazing."
In my latest podcast episode, I'm going wide on why being "realistic" is basically kryptonite for conscious entrepreneurs (spoiler: it leads to overwhelm, burnout, and that icky imposter syndrome feeling).
Are you unconsciously dimming your brightest possibilities by trying to be "realistic"? In this transformative episode, we explore how the pressure to be realistic is actually a trap that keeps conscious entrepreneurs from fulfilling their true potential and creating the extraordinary impact they came here to make.
Discover why that inner voice telling you to "be more realistic" is actually disconnecting you from the infinite creative force within you β the very energy that's meant to propel your biggest visions into reality.

π Transforming Imposter Syndrome
π Reconnecting to Your Infinite Source
By the end of this episode, you'll have completely reframed your relationship with being "realistic." Instead of seeing your big dreams and intuitive hits as something to be toned down, you'll recognise them as the very essence of why you're here. You'll feel permission to step into the unrealistic, extraordinary version of yourself β because that's who you came here to be.
You'll walk away with a new understanding that stuckness isn't a problem to solve, but a sign that you're ready for your next level of expansion. Most importantly, you'll reconnect with the truth that you are an infinite creative force, and your job is to express that fully, not make it fit into someone else's definition of realistic.
