Show Notes
How do we choose what to focus on?
We can get caught up in indecision and overthinking things, and decision-making can be really difficult.
In this season, Leo asks you to play along and focus on a project where you'll work with fear and resistance. But how do you choose a project?
We'll take a look not only at how to choose a project, but how to choose anything. And how choosing from the heart (or gut) can be a powerful thing.
