The Key to Sustainable Growth: Embracing Simplicity and Gratitude

The Influencer Podcast

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

Happy New Year, friends, and welcome to 2025! In this cozy solo episode, I’m diving into a deeply personal topic that feels so aligned for the start of the year—shifting from the constant chase for more to fully embracing enough. I’ll share how we can stop living in “the gap,” where we focus on what’s missing, and start celebrating “the gain,” where we honor how far we’ve come.

I reflect on my own journey of releasing the pressure to always achieve the next big thing and instead focus on sustainable growth, alignment, and gratitude. You’ll hear powerful mindset shifts, practical tips, and an invitation to step into this year with clarity and confidence. Let’s make 2025 the year we stop chasing and start embracing you are already enough!

QUOTABLES:

“ Think about where you were five years ago. If your past self could see you now, the business you've built, the incredible clients that you've served, the growth that you've experienced, no matter how big or small, she would be in awe. But instead of celebrating that progress, we often focus on what's missing right now” - Julie Solomon

“ I know that you have probably thought, in the last week or so, I should be further along by now. But says who? Based on what metric? Someone else's 2024 Instagram highlight reel, someone else's version of success? That comparison trap is deadly, my friends and it is one of the biggest reasons why people feel so stuck.” - Julie Solomon
