Creating The Path

Creating The Path

Creating the Path with Heather Grace Hanson is a podcast that challenges multi-passionate entrepreneurs to achieve their goals by working less and eliminating overwhelm, so they can create their own unique pathway to a life they love. My mission is to transform hustle culture and assist others to shift away from living life on auto-pilot to living intentionally and following your own path to a life you love instead. I’ll touch on topics such as creating the life you want, uncovering your purpose, managing your energy, and how to get more done without overwhelm.

In today’s episode of Creating The Path, I’m talking about giving yourself permission to let things go.

You may or may not have noticed that I didn't release a podcast episode last week. That was because I was working on a project, and I didn't anticipate how long it was going to take me to complete it.

So, I had to let things go. I had more on my plate than I could handle.

And letting things...

And that can lead to success for sure. But you can also achieve success in a more enjoyable and sustainable way. With a few ke...

So, today’s episode of Creating The Path is all about The Rest Revolution. Join me in this conver...

Today’s episode of Creating The Path is another short one. Another reminder. This time of the year is often called the season of giving, but I also want to remind you that it’s OK to receive. It’s okay to let people help you when you need it. And it’s okay to not help if you don’t have the bandwidth to do so.
