EP 20 Big Picture Thinking

This episode is brought to you by the Fire Your Full Time Workshop: happening on January 9,2025. https://madeherselfaboss.com/fire-your-fulltime/
In today’s episode, we’re diving into big picture thinking, what it means, why it matters, and how to embrace it to create a business and life that match your biggest desires. We’re here to help you stop playing small, challenge your limits, and think bigger than ever before.
Let’s be real for a second, dreaming bigger can feel intimidating, overwhelming, and sometimes downright impossible. And you’re not alone if you’ve felt stuck there. Maybe fear has crept in, maybe doubt whispered that it’s “too much” for you, or maybe you’re just not sure where to even start.
But here’s the thing: big picture thinking is what separates those who stay in the same place from those who grow into everything they’re meant to be.
In this episode, we’re breaking down how to get past the fear that’s holding you back, align your mindset with the goals you really want (not just the ones you think are realistic), and bring the energy that moves mountains. It’s not about waiting until you feel ready, it's about deciding that today is the day you stop playing small and start moving toward the life and business you truly deserve.
Grab your MadeHerselfABoss podcast journal, pen, or pencil, and tune in to discover:

The Danger of Staying Comfortable
Journal Prompts:
✒️ What does your ultimate vision for your life and business look like?
