Episode Description from the Publisher

In this week's insight episode, I talk about the difference between starting over as a healthy choice and starting over as a way to avoid discomfort. Starting over isn't inherently bad.

But taking a small pause before making a big decision can help us understand what we're actually trying to change and gently notice the patterns behind our choices.In this episode, I share:Why starting over can sometimes become a form of avoidanceHow to tell the difference between healthy change and impulsive decisionsThe importance of pausing and asking yourself why you want to start overHow gently noticing your patterns can help you make more intentional choicesMy Poetry & Reflections Notion Page:https://www.notion.so/Morgan-Sneed-Poetry-Reflections-294fbd79ed638009bf42dc1cddabf4fd?source=copy_linkMy Socials:All my links in one place: https://linktr.ee/morgansneedInstagram: @morgansneeddTikTok: @morgansneedWant to start your own podcast?I host with RSS and love how easy it is to use.Start your podcast here: https://rss.com/?via=4df2a8If you sign up through this link, it helps support the show!Want to contact me directly?Email me: youatyourbestpodcast@gmail.comNeed Advice?
