Have you ever felt off and combative about the same thing, over and over again in your life?

In this mini-episode, I will be talking about turning the dissonance in our lives into success.

Let’s dive into this episode and learn more about how to turn frustration and combativeness into something that propels you forward.

[00:01 - 02:14] Opening Segment

  • I talk about the topic of this week’s mini-episode.
  • Being in Dissonance 
  • Think about a recent example in your life where you were combative about something.
  • You will find a really strong dissonance in it.
  • Dissonance means there are two distinct things that are disharmonious with each other in your life.


[02:15 - 07:56] Turning Dissonance to Success 

  • I share one example of dissonance that has happened in my life lately.
  • I am in a situation where I am feeling very combative with time.
  • These areas of dissonance could create rage, make me go inward, or lash out.
  • An area where you feel combative is probably a really strong area where you have dissonance. 
  • It could be multiple things at the same time, and it could shift too.
  • When you feel like you are combative, two things could happen;
  • Use it to make money and success.
  • Stifle your money and success
  • I share a story of how I turned my anger and frustration into a success inducing time, where I ended up making sales.
  • Dissonance can be a big asset for you as long as you can recognize what is happening.
  • If you continuously feel off about the same thing, you need to make the most significant shift in your life.
  • How to see the connection and handle the dissonance 
  • Notice how the dissonance is creating combat, and note how you are showing up in that combativeness.
  • You can transmute and turn your dissonance into something that propels you forward.
  • Willing to move forward while you are still in it
  • Anger, frustration, or combativeness is not the end of the world, but it could also create success for you.
