Episode description

How can we move forward in midlife or beyond when someone we care about doesn't understand our path?

Standing alone in our choices can be the hardest thing we do. So often, our loved ones have good intentions of advising us against our longing. They may think what you desire to do is unusual, irresponsible, or plain crazy.  But we don't need permission to change course. If we stay true in our Knowing, and follow our hearts, then others around us will eventually see the best of us.

In this episode, I speak of the difference between doubt, and fear. How being afraid to do what excites you the most just means it's out of your comfort zone. If your dreams don't scare you a little then the dream isn't big enough.
