I (Don’t Want to Go to) Chelsea

What do second chances plus curiosity equal? Pure magic! And pure magic is exactly what we get as we dive into episode 2 - I (Don’t Want to Go to) Chelsea where Dimple and Jeff continue our exploration of this season’s overarching theme of facing our fears. In addition, we talk about origin stories, the impact of regrets, and our favorite theme of all -  just being human.

Episode 2 is rich with examples of brave leadership and accountability as we watch several of our main characters step up and engage in tough conversations rather than putting them off. This episode also highlights how our mindset can make us or break us as we contrast the limiting, albeit protective power of the inner critic with two little words that can provide us with an opportunity to change our trajectory in life and make new choices.  

“I think the term ‘not yet’ is so powerful because with anything if you add the word “yet” at the end of it - there are so many things in our life that I may not be good at this - yet - but I have the capacity to practice or do whatever to shift that. It’s this way of shifting our mindset a little bit.” (Dimple 45:20)
