More about the coaching session:
The session highlights the importance of embracing uncertainty and taking action, even without knowing all the answers, a highly relatable topic for these modern times.
One of the key insights that emerges from the session is the idea that Veronica doesn't necessarily need to know what is holding her back in order to take action. Lisa challenges Veronica's belief that she must have all the answers before starting her podcast, suggesting that sometimes the knowing comes in the doing. This notion challenges Veronica's tendency to seek certainty and pushes her to embrace the uncertainty of starting a podcast without all the answers.
As the coaching session progresses, Veronica gains clarity on her podcast's mission and format. She articulates her desire to educate and empower people to live their best lives through ayurveda, yoga, food, and other modalities she has studied throughout her life. Veronica's mission is to simplify these often esoteric concepts and make them accessible to a wider audience, breaking down barriers and ensuring that anyone can understand and benefit from this knowledge.
Throughout the coaching session, Veronica's fear of rejection emerges as a significant barrier to launching her podcast. She worries about putting in time and effort only to have no one listen or engage with her content. This fear is rooted in a deep desire to make a meaningful impact and serve her community. Veronica's dedication to helping others and her commitment to providing valuable content drives her fear of not being able to meet these expectations.
However, Lisa reframes this fear by highlighting the potential positive outcome of people loving Veronica's podcast. She encourages Veronica to consider the possibility that her podcast could resonate with listeners and create a meaningful impact. This reframing helps Veronica recognize that the fear of success is also present, as it would bring a new level of responsibility and commitment to consistently delivering valuable content.
