What if the biggest obstacle standing between you and the life you want is not a lack of opportunity, but a voice inside your own head telling you that you are not ready, not qualified, and do not belong? And what if the antidote to that voice is not confidence or certainty, but simply the willingness to choose, just once, not to believe it?
In today's solo episode, I take you deeper into what choosing actually looks like over four decades of my life. I share how enrolling in college as an adult, through a program designed for working people with families and full lives, became the first of thousands of small choices that would eventually lead me to become a college president. I talk honestly about the exhaustion of working full time while raising two sons and earning three college degrees in six years, about the inner voice that kept telling me to stop, and about what I learned when I started applying my education not just to my career, but to my cooking, my sewing, and the way I moved through the world every single day.
Tune in and listen to the fifty-first episode of I Can Do This, Show Me How! to discover why the real journey was never about the degrees themselves, and what it looks like to keep choosing yourself, again and again, even when that voice tells you to stop.
