Stephanie shares one of her favorite quotes by Anais Nin: "and the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was far more painful than the risk it took to blossom." She uses this quote as a prompt to invite you to look in and identify what's in the way of you blossoming into your highest potential.  In this episode, Stephanie invites you to journal about the following questions: 1. Do you feel like you're stuck in a bud where there are barriers, blocks or beliefs keeping you from blossoming? 2. If so, what are the barriers, blocks, and beliefs? Do you feel unsupported in your life? Do you struggle with time management? Are the days running you where you are having a hard time keeping up with routines and responsibilities? Are you struggling with anxiety and depression? Are you carrying weight from the past? Do you often experience negative thoughts or have beliefs such as I'm not good enough, there isn't enough time, life isn't fair. Do you feel guilty for something that has already happened? Do you struggle with the need for approval and people-pleasing? Is it difficult for you to set boundaries? Take time to explore what is holding you back and keeping you in a bud so to speak. 3. What would it mean for you to break free from the bud and begin the journey of blossoming? What behaviors would have to change? Are you surrounded by people who are raising you or lowering you? Do you raise people or lower them? 4. What would life look like once you begin to blossom? How would you feel?
