Fear, failure, anxiety, and other negative emotions are inevitable, but we have the power to choose how we deal with them and to decide the course that our lives take. As Lacy Corcoran knows, it’s not necessarily an easy road to get to the point where we are in control of our own destiny, and she shares some of the main coaching practices and the books which helped her immensely on her personal growth journey. We discuss how Lacy transitioned from a burned-out, fearful working mom who felt like she could never be present, to someone who wakes up every morning excited about the day ahead of her. When she worked out what her values are and put measures into place to make sure that she was living in alignment with them, her life did a 180-degree turn and she now runs a very successful real estate brokerage while still managing to read her children a bedtime story every night. In today’s episode, you’ll also hear about the practice of counterbalancing, the importance of asking for help, and the most challenging elements of Lacy’s journey.
