Babe Cave

Despite what we tell ourselves, life doesn't have to be that complicated. In our attempts to be the best versions of ourselves, we can get lost in the "doing" and forget about "being". Amanda Polick strips down the podcast to its barest form to unwind the need to always be moving, why even two years into the show she STILL doesn't have intro music and how to not judge ourselves for creating space in our lives.

We're wrapping up the year with a special masterclass, if you will, of one of Amanda Polick's favorite annual traditions — the creation of her motto for next year. Instead of a resolution, Amanda creates a theme for how she shapes all of her decisions as a guiding light for living the best possible story. And now, she wants to teach you how to do that for yourself. Using the good, bad and in-between of your year, you'll be able to craft a unique motto that'll carry you through next year with more power and less stress.

Amanda Polick walks through the unexpected ways goals are "checked off" a list, how to avoid self-sabotage when it comes to said goals and how you may be further along than you think.

Is there a dream project or goal that you have that seems to never see the light of day because your plan or progress isn't "perfect"? It's one thing to want to put your best foot forward in anything you do, but it's another thing to miss out of the joys of the journey by not even entering the race. This week, Amanda Polick shares why she published her book Reincarnated: How Lost Dreams, Jobs and Loves Set Me Free as a PDF, how starting small leads to bigger wins and why we all just need to give ourselves a break.

No one really wants to cut people out of their lives, but no matter how hard you try, some people are just toxic.

Once you recognize that you have a choice in who you do and do not spend time with, you'll see the freedom in a life minus toxicity. Welcome to The Toxic Episode. >>> https://www.amandapolick.com

Has anyone ever told you that whatever you're waiting for will be worth it in the end, or that you should be patient in the interim? Waiting for something that you really want makes time expand and can make you doubt what you wanted in the first place.
