You do not need permission In this episode, we share some experiences of opening up to people about our big projects, side hustles and dreams. Telling your friends, family and colleagues about new goals can be daunting - and even more so if they completely shoot your ideas down! Key takeaways from this episode: Surround yourself with people who understand your field and are doing what you want to be doing. The people closest to you can be the harshest critics. How to be clear with boundaries around feedback vs permission vs praise. Learn to celebrate YOURSELF!
