Stop Bending Over - Align Your Life For Radical Success
(#49) How to Know You’re Ready for a Bigger Life
Episode Summary:
In this powerful episode, Rita dives deep into what it really means to be ready for a bigger life. She shares the three signs that you’re ready (even if you’re scared), why fear is boring, and how to let go of limiting beliefs, old patterns, and the identity that no longer fits you. If you’re tired of choosing struggle over unknown joy, this episode is your green light.
Top 5 Takeaways:
1. Fear is boring
Fear keeps you in mediocrity, repeating the same patterns without growth.
2. 3 signs you’re ready for a bigger life:
- You’re uncomfortable with the version of you that’s staying small.
- Your life feels “fine” but not fulfilling.
- You can’t unsee the bigger vision within you.
3. Your beliefs shape your reality.
Thoughts repeated become beliefs, and beliefs drive your decisions.
4. You can’t hold onto the old and reach for the new.
Like monkey bars, you have to let go to move forward.
5. Make a move.
Clarity comes from action, not overthinking. You won’t know if it’s a good move until you move.
