055: Letting Go of Your Plan B

Are you running away from what you don’t want, rather than running towards what you do?  Is your focus on your “just in case” plan rather than your ideal plan?  If so, then maybe you’re living in your Plan B and being held back from your Plan A.   For many of us Plan B living has become such a norm that we don’t know we’re doing it.   We often disguise and dress it up in other terms such as “adulting” or “being responsible” or “just the way things are”.   But it’s really just a cop-out because we’re scared. We’re scared of being disappointed and not being able to get over the shock of the letdown.   The fear can be palpable.  But this ends now my Creating Maven. In this episode, I take on this Plan B living and share the mindset you need in order to become a Plan A person.   Of course, I also leave you with a practical exercise that’ll help you do the work to shift from your Plan B to your Plan A.  Let’s get to it!   About: The Reframe to Create podcast is hosted by Joy Spencer, an Executive Leadership and Storytelling Coach, Speaker, and Organizational Development Consultant working with professionals and leaders at all levels within organizations.  Joy leverages over 17 years of experience she gained while working to champion change in social justice movements, including those related to global access to essential medicines and consumer advocacy for online privacy.  This work required a dogged commitment to not merely challenging the status quo, but to reimagining and working towards creating an ideal future.  It is this commitment to creating that has shaped Joy’s coaching philosophy and approach today.
