What if the story you have been telling yourself about your limits is complete nonsense?
In this episode of Lead With Spark, Lynsey sits down with Saphira Howell, author of Impossibullshit: Break the Lies that Keep You Small and Do What You Believed You Couldn’t. Saphira went from early YouTube creator with tens of millions of views to Head of Marketing at a fast growing startup, self taught stock investor, jiu jitsu blue belt, ballroom dancer, and harp student. In other words, she is living proof of what happens when you stop believing the labels and start listening to the nudge.
Together we talk about:
- Why the things you tell yourself you are “not ready” for are often the exact things you want most
- How to recognize the “nudge” and take the first tiny step instead of waiting to feel confident
- The “messy middle” of growth, also known as “the suck”, and why most of your real growth happens there
- Giving yourself permission to quit, pivot, or change dreams without making it mean you failed
- How Saphira turned big failures, including losing half her savings in the stock market, into a strategy that now outperforms the S&P 500
- Leading when you have never done it before and building teams that feel safe to take risks and admit mistakes
- Why the most important person you cannot afford to disappoint is yourself
If you have ever stood on the edge of something you really want and talked yourself out of it, this conversation will feel like a loving push forward.
