#20 — How to Make the Leap & Stop Living on the Sidelines | Take What You Need Podcast
<p>Have you watched someone else do or say the thing you had been planning to do but you were too afraid to go for it? You had spent time analysing, getting advice and wondering whether you should take the leap… and now someone else has. </p> <ul> <li><p>We ask ourselves:</p> </li> <li><p>What will people say?</p> </li> <li><p>What if it doesn’t work out?</p> </li> <li><p>What if they judge me?</p> </li> </ul> <p>So many decisions in life feel like “life or death”. Maybe not literal life or death, but societal, emotional and financial. </p> <p>And eventually, we default to living a life that’s smaller than what it was meant to be, and who wants that? Definitely not me. That’s not why we’re here. That’s probably not why you’re reading this right now.</p> <p>This week’s episode is all about this. Enjoy. </p> <p><strong>If you’re a visual person, you can now </strong><a href="http://youtube.com/@watchabxola" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong>subscribe to my YouTube channel</strong></a> </p> <p>And these things stop us in our tracks.They paralyse us. </p> <p><strong>Get the podcast to your inbox (incl. links to clips and items mentioned in the episode)</strong></p> <ul> <li><p><a href="https://abiola.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://abiola.substack.com/</a></p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Follow Take What You Need on social</strong></p> <ul> <li><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@takewhatyouneedpodcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.tiktok.com/@takewhatyouneedpodcast</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/takewhatyouneedpodcast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/takewhatyouneedpodcast/</a></p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Follow Abiola on social</strong></p> <ul> <li><p><a href="https://tiktok.com/@abxola" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://tiktok.com/@abxola</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/abxola/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/abxola/</a></p> </li> </ul> <p><br></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/abxola/message

#19 The Art of (Spiritual) Manifestation
<p>ICYMI, I published the <a href="https://abiola.substack.com/p/life-update-001" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">first of many life updates over the weekend</a>. Take a look and vote on what you think!</p> <p><strong>Manifestation.</strong> </p> <p>What do you think of when you hear the word? Do you think it’s unrealistic, or do you think it represents a movement that is in fundamental opposition to your values?</p> <p>One thing that’s interesting to me is some of the ‘newest’, ‘trendiest’ terms can be traced back to ancient spiritual principles. It’s not as ‘out there’ or as ‘selfish’ as people think. On the other hand, it’s actually an essential part of what it means to live a life that is truly aligned with your inner self, that brings a level of peace that has no comparison.</p> <p>I’d say the art of manifestation is one of the reasons I’ve been calmer and at more peace for the last 4 years straight, despite the uncertainties and challenges of life. In this episode, I unpack some of the most impactful, yet rarely discussed elements of manifestation… from a spiritual lens.</p> <p>Enjoy!</p> <p><strong>Let's talk</strong></p> <p><strong>Get the podcast to your inbox (incl. links to clips and items mentioned in the episode)</strong></p> <ul> <li><p><a href="https://abiola.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://abiola.substack.com/</a></p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Follow Take What You Need on social</strong></p> <ul> <li><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@takewhatyouneedpodcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.tiktok.com/@takewhatyouneedpodcast</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/takewhatyouneedpodcast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/takewhatyouneedpodcast/</a></p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Follow Abiola on social</strong></p> <ul> <li><p><a href="https://tiktok.com/@abxola" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://tiktok.com/@abxola</a></p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/abxola/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/abxola/</a></p> </li> </ul> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/abxola/message
