Earn Your Happy Podcast | Motivation | Self-love | Entrepreneurship | Confidence | Fitness And Life Coaching With Lori Harder

Since celebrating my 1000th episode last week, I’ve been thinking about what I’ve learned on this podcasting journey. It feels surreal to say that I have researched, recorded, and published over 1,000 episodes, but it proves to me that dedication is the key to maintaining steady growth.  In this episode, I’m looking back on what has helped me achieve this major milestone, including my approach to content, what I do when I feel like I’m out of ideas, and how to embrace positive pressure. Plus, I share my huge podcast goal for this year and how you can help me get there. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Being open to feedback without taking it personally The common thread between some of my most popular episodes  Why it’s so important to invite more spontaneity into your life  Showing up, even when you lack motivation or passion  Finding areas where you can get more focused and improve your strategy  Being okay with taking imperfect action  RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

If you’re feeling stuck or struggling with motivation, the best thing you can do is surround yourself with positive peer pressure and accountability.

In this episode, we talk about how to create more support in your life and expand your capacity.

One of the most impactful books I've ever read is Gay Hendricks’ The Big Leap. I find it helpful to revisit it in mid-January because it reminds me of this concept he discovered called “The Upper Limiting Problem.” In short, we each have a limit on how much abundance, success, and love we think we deserve. Once we start to get close to those thresholds, we self-sabotage and create chaos to stay within the boundaries we’re familiar with.  The key to tapping into your highest potential is to start observing where you hold yourself back. In this episode, I share four of my upper limits and how I’m actively working to break through them.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What “upper limiting” is  Signs you’re on the verge of becoming a better version of yourself How I break out of the procrastination cycle  Cultivating self-validation and confidence  The fastest way to get outside of yourself  RESOURCES The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks  Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!
