Most people don't get what they want because they are too attached to how they think it should happen.
Letting go of the "how" doesn't mean giving up. What it does mean is finally getting out of your own way.

In their discussion, Susi talks about how she turned self-doubt, rock-bottom moments, and "crazy" dreams into real success by learning to tune out the noise and trust herself. They get into how she built a 6-figure jewelry business with zero experience, "lucky" twists that tossed the plan out the window but led to better results, and what it really takes to feel aligned and in sync with your next steps.
This episode is for anyone who's tired of overthinking, over explaining, and still not seeing the results you're wanting.

Main Takeaways & Golden nuggets of wisdom from this episode:
This episode was rich with insights, here are five.
- Trusting yourself is the foundation: Everything comes back to making a decision and trusting yourself fully, even when it doesn't make sense to others.
- The rest unfolds when you believe in your future self: As Susi said, "it's about training yourself to believe in yourself and your future self, and the rest unfolds by itself."
- Decisions are turning points: Change happens the moment you decide.
- Let go of the "how": Stop being attached to exactly how something must happen. Be open to different paths and lucky twists.
- Your energy and frequency matters more than your circumstances: Maintaining a positive, aligned frequency attracts opportunities and synchronicities. It's kind of like staying tuned to the right radio station, once you find it, you don't want to mess with the dial.
"It's not my past or what others say. It's my own reality. It's inside me."

Tips for applying these takeaways:
Want to apply these insights to your life? Here are some actionable steps you can take today:
- Start a "Self-Trust Journal": Each day, write one decision you made that felt right for you, no matter how small it may have been. Over time, you'll train yourself to recognize and honor your inner voice.
- Write a short statement describing who you want to become: Read it out loud every morning as if it's already true, letting yourself feel the emotions of already living that reality. This can help you become more mindful of what that feels like so you can work to stay in that energy of being.
- Give yourself 5 minutes to make decisions: Set a 5-minute timer when you're faced with a choice you've been putting off. Commit to making the decision within those 5 minutes. The speed will help you bypass overthinking. If it's a bigger decision, break it down into smaller decisions that can be made in those 5 minutes.
- Make a "How" List: Make a list of all the ways you think your goal could happen. Then, cross them all out. This is simple exercise frees your mind to notice and accept unexpected opportunities.
- Practice shifting your energy and frequency on purpose: Choose one quick energy shifting habit like playing your favorite song, doing a silly dance, or forced laughter out loud for 30 seconds. Use it anytime you feel like your energy is getting a little negative.
Listen now if you're tired of overthinking and ready to trust yourself again.
final thoughts: The power of being
Sometimes we pour way too much of our time and energy into DOING when what we really need to focus on is who we are BEING and trusting ourselves in that process. Our reality is a reflection of who we are.
Your reality is not circumstances, it's the way you view, experience, and respond to those circumstances. Who you are being determines what you have, what you do, what you continue to do, what you won't do, and what you are able to keep once you obtain it. Trusting yourself is what allows that "being" to stay aligned, even when the circumstances feel uncertain or the next step is unclear.
Being is who you are at your core. It includes your identity, values, mindset, emotional state, energy, and the way you show up in the world, regardless of circumstance.
On the other hand, doing is the actions you take. It's the tasks, strategies, and behaviors you engage in to get results.
You can do all the "right" things, but if who you are being is misaligned, your results will feel hollow, won't last, or will require constant force to maintain them. But when your being is aligned, even small actions can create powerful results with less resistance. That kind of alignment begins with the decision to trust yourself enough to follow what feels true, even when it doesn't match the usual plan.
When we focus more on optimizing our being to align with who we want to become, we remove the resistance required to do the things that will get and keep us our desired results.
