We're MOVING! Uprooting and Replanting Across the Country-PT1

As the sun sets on our familiar Southern California neighborhood, my family and I stand on the brink of a monumental transition. We're trading sandy beaches for the historic streets of Washington DC, and in this episode, I take you on our personal journey. It's a tale of new beginnings, as we confront the emotional and strategic complexities of uprooting our children from the only home they've known, all for a career opportunity too good to pass up. I share heartfelt reflections on how this leap aligns with our dreams of being closer to our daughters in the UK, and how we're framing this significant life change as a catalyst for growth and adaptation.Picture yourself stepping into the shoes of your future self—what actions would you take today? This conversation is rooted in the philosophy of 'acting as if', a powerful tool in carving out the reality you desire. I break down the subtle but impactful distinction between career and personal development, while relaying the importance of routines, the embrace of discomfort, and the necessity of self-competition. This isn't just about changing your address; it's about redefining your potential, and I discuss how my wife and I are navigating this journey together, undeterred by the siren call of our comfort zones.Do you feel the gravity of moments slipping by unseized?
