Episode Description
What if “Impossible” is just a story we tell ourselves… when we can’t see a solution YET, we’re too fearful to consider what else is possible, or others tell us it’s impossible? Have you ever thought something was impossible, only to find out it’s not? It’s amazing what happens when we shift our mindset to one of possibility whether other people “get it” or not. If you’re facing something that seems impossible, you’ll want to tune it to this week’s show. A life-altering health challenge can feel overwhelming and can often be an “against all odds” experience that requires a strong WHY to do whatever it takes to recover. My special guest, Rachael Austin will be sharing her experience in the wake of a life-altering stroke 11 years ago. Rachael and I will explore the various stages she experienced and how she moved from one stage to the next. It started with “It feels impossible” or at least it did for others in her life. She will share how that impacted her choices going forward and the courage it took to consider “What if recovery IS possible?” Next, it was about getting clarity around what that could look like and why it was so important, which helped her stay the course. That clarity led her to explore how she could leverage her strengths – mind, body, and spirit to build the new capacity she would need to make recovery a reality. And, once she brought that new possibility to life, she will share how it has created more and more opportunities, better than she could have imagined. It’s given her the confidence to ponder what else is possible in this next chapter of her life. She’ll share a bit about that as well. Rachael’s story is so inspiring you won’t want to miss it. Be thinking about what feels daunting for you now. Join us for a lively conversation that could help you turn the seemingly impossible into the possible. RachaelAustin68@gmail.com
