Ep097 - Fallout from ALL the Birthdays!

Going Through It or Going To It? Are you grinding your way through life, or are you intentionally moving toward the life you actually want? Most of us have been taught to just “push through” the tough seasons. But what if there’s a better way? In today’s episode, we break down a simple yet powerful shift in thinking that can change everything — from how you handle challenges to how you step into the next level of your FUTURE YOU.

IN THIS EPISODE:
- The surprising mindset shift that keeps you from missing the magic in your everyday life
- Why “just getting through it” is keeping you stuck
- The difference between going through something vs. going to something
- How to reframe challenges as stepping stones, not roadblocks
- A behind-the-scenes look at Amsden March Magic and what it taught me about celebrating the present while building the future
- Practical steps to move toward the FUTURE YOU instead of staying stuck in survival mode

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- If you’re constantly pushing through life, you’re missing the moments that matter.
- Reframing your challenges as opportunities shifts everything.
- Instead of saying, “I just have to get through this,” ask, “What am I going to?”
- FUTURE YOU is the upgraded version of yourself—you should be excited to step into it.
- Life isn’t about muscling through—it's about intentionally designing your trajectory.
