Do you spend a lot of time justifying why you’re miserable? What if you stopped spinning in circles around your problems and started working toward a solution? Listen in as Elizabeth Benton challenges us to show up new in this moment and get inspired to believe in your POTENTIAL rather than your PAST.

Question Highlights

• What was the moment like when you admitted that YOU were the one keeping you from the life you wanted?
• Leading up to your transformation, what was your biggest limiting belief? And how did you start to break the cycle?
• Share your perspective on the concept of smoke vs. fire as it relates to reaching our goals.
• How do you suggest we start to trust ourselves to solve our own problems?
• What’s something that was once important to you but is now becoming less important or relevant to you?
• What motivated you to share your story? And how has sharing helped you heal?
• What would you do if you were 10 times bolder?

In this episode, you will learn about…

• Elizabeth’s realization that she was in a prison of her own making
• Why Elizabeth saw her limiting beliefs as facts
• How carrying our past experiences stops us from showing up new in this moment
• The danger in justifying our problems at the expense of finding a solution
• Why addressing the smoke rather than the fire keeps us chasing the same goal over and over
• How to show up for yourself as a creative, energetic problem solver
• Why Elizabeth values her internal goals more than external targets they’re tied to
• How sharing her story holds Elizabeth accountable to practicing what she preaches

‘Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?’
