How do you see yourself in this moment?

Are you a person who’s working hard to become successful? Are you taking painting classes on weekends to become an artist? Are you a person with a lukewarm temper who wants to become someone who approaches life with a little more grace and forgiveness?

What have you been wanting to be that you could just decide, right now, that you are?

This week, Karlee shares stories of transformation that didn’t take years or decades to achieve. Simply by making the decision in the moment to see things differently, change happens. 

In this episode, you’ll learn how instantaneous shifts in perspective can change how we see ourselves and how we view the world around us. You’ll hear the inspiring stories of people who dared to pause and, just by taking that moment to reconsider, were able to recalibrate how they view themselves and others. You’ll also learn how to be that version of yourself you’ve been waiting to become, right now.  

If you’re ready to make the brave choice to “be”, instead of waiting to “become”, then this is the episode for you. 


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • (5:40) An invitation to take a “goodly pause” to gain clarity
  • (9:01)  What restores a genuine sense of hope
  • (11:33) A simple shift in perspective to see things in a more positive light
  • (17:49) How imagining bravery becomes actual bravery
  • (22:20) Becoming the person you want to be, starting now
