What's limiting you from living the life of your dreams? I'm not here just to talk about making more money or growing your business… More than anything, this conversation is here to serve as your connection to your most authentic desires, and how you can make them a reality. I break down the 3 step process to align your current identity with your next level expansion, reconcile with the parts of you that subconsciously limit you, and wire yourself for the success you want. Plus, I'll share some powerful ways you can practice, live in, and truly embody the woman you've become.   HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 What is keeping you in your current reality? 03:45 The biggest signs you're being called to transform.  10:20 How to find + connect to your authentic desires (and make them a reality)! 16:30 What's the real reason you don't have the next level of results you desire? 27:10 Why we need pressure + overwhelm to break us if we want to grow. 37:30 How to detach yourself from your old identity and step into your upgraded self. 47:05 What happens when we break away from our old identity? 50:35 Transformation never ends, but your relationship with it DOES. 55:30 Ways to practice your new identity with triggers and tests. 1:03:00 Choose the path of maximum expansion and you'll be rewarded.   RESOURCES + LINKS Join The Upgrade HERE (enrollment closes September 10th)   FOLLOW Powerhouse Women: @powerhouse_women Lindsey: @lindseymarieofficial Visit the Powerhouse Women website: powerhousewomen.co Join the PW Community Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/powerhousewomencommunity
