Ep 057 // How to Stop Fighting Against Your Life & Fall in Love With It Instead with Catherine Rains
Summary: <p>There aren't enough words to describe how excited I am for you all to hear this conversation I'm having with Catherine Rains, also known as The Hotel Artist! </p> <p>Alternate titles for this episode include: </p> <p>"Catherine Rains blows Steph's mind live on the air waves"</p> <p>"Stop everything & listen to this" </p> <p>"Don't listen to this if you want to keep making excuses & staying stuck" </p> <p>In seriousness, it feels like I am telling you week after week that another of my "favorite episodes" is being published, which is such a cool feeling. </p> <p>But this episode is truly special. For one, the "Courage" & "Clarity" components are fused together in one jumbo episode because they were too intertwined to separate. </p> <p>Beyond that, Catherine is a captivating, open-book type storyteller who's got a few decades on me. As such, you'll hear her drop so much wisdom on me, I'm doing mental gymnastics live on the air just to keep up. </p> <p>There's so much growth here, so much to think about, and so much easy-to-apply-immediately mindset stuff that you really need to hear. </p> <p>In this episode, you'll hear: </p> <ul> <li>How to stop fighting AGAINST your circumstances, and instead learn to work WITH them </li> <li>A few precise mantras to help you stop dwelling in "tomorrow", "what if", "if only" & "someday"</li> <li>How Catherine used this mindset shift to go from hating her job, to loving it so much she cried when her dream job came along </li> <li>How Catherine was able to believe that cancer & divorce were amazing gifts, even as they were happening to her</li> </ul> <p>I know there's a lot of "mindset" and "positivity" stuff out there, but this episode resonated with me on a deeper level than many of the other books I've picked up or podcasts I've heard before. I hope you find the same to be true, and if you do, you have to let me know! </p>
