Show Notes

Let's be real: if you're feeling stuck, hesitant, or too scared to take the next step, you're probably caught up in a red light story.

What's a red light story? It's the narrative you tell yourself about your business, your company, your products—and most importantly—yourself. These stories quietly creep in, convincing you to hit the brakes on your dreams. But here's the truth: your success is waiting on the other side of those doubts.

In this podcast episode, I share something deeply special—an audio from a limited series I recorded for Optavia. Over the past year, we've had the privilege of working with so many incredible Optavia coaches, and this episode features my friend Kristen, one of their amazing leaders.

What we talked about was too good not to share with you. Whether or not you're with Optavia, this conversation about red light stories is a game-changer for anyone in our profession.

So, are you ready to stop hitting the brakes and start building momentum?
