The Self-Led Woman® with Deborah O'Grady


Jul 3, 2022

When did you decide to settle? 

What events, beliefs, choices led to you coasting? 

What changed from those excitable years when the world was full of endless opportunities, when anything was possible? 

I remember that burst of excitement of possibilities hit me at the age of 16, there was a whole world out there waiting for me... I remember exactly where I was and who I was with when that realisation and excitement hit me. I know then I could have and do anything... 

This excitement carried through into my marriage, and I was well into my mid-thirties before life got serious and I felt it was time to grow up.  Trying to have a baby was a tough time for us, we had a quite a few miscarriages and when it finally happened it was an incredible time, but it changed everything; my belief system of growing up stopped me thinking in a limitless way and as a result I coasted and settled into a routine that looking back didn’t serve me or those around me.  

In this episode I talk about why you might find yourself settling, and why doing so can stifle your desire for more and lower your expectations. I’ll get you thinking about your own life goals, and why it’s so important to always keep yourself aligned to your desires. 

This episode is about knowing what you want and never settling for a life you’re not deeply satisfied with. 

Check out this week’s episode where I’ll be discussing:

04:53 – your lack of desire and feeling stuck  

08:07 – are you living the life you want?
