If we want to be active creators of our own life instead of passive observers of our life (letting things happen TO us), it’s important to get clear and move, think, and feel with intention.

This week we talk about why we feel obligated to finish everything we start – even if we’re miserable in it. Careers, relationships, even small things like movies and a bad meal. Often it;s becasue we think changing our minds equals failure or some sort, but there are many others I’ll cover in this episode.
