In this episode, I’m joined by the inspiring Simone Kreutzer—a mental fitness coach and hiking guide—for a deep and heartfelt conversation about change. The kind we crave… and the kind that catches us off guard.
Simone and I met through the Positive Intelligence Foundation and instantly connected over our shared passion for living in alignment and helping others create meaningful transformation. In this conversation, we unpack what truly holds us back from change (hint: it’s often not time or money), and explore simple, powerful ways to move through fear and start building the life we actually want.
We talk about:
- Why career and life transitions are rarely just about the job
- The internal blockers that keep us stuck—like self-doubt, perfectionism, and fear of judgment
- What to do when life throws you an unexpected change you didn’t ask for
- How to gently shift your perspective and open up to new possibilities
- The power of small questions and compassionate self-inquiry to move forward
Whether you’re feeling stuck in your current path, contemplating a big leap, or processing a change you didn’t choose—this episode is a soft, empowering guide to help you take the next right step. With honesty, warmth, and tools you can use right away.
Let this be your reminder: meaningful change doesn’t have to be dramatic. It starts with awareness, courage, and one tiny shift in perspective.
