In this week's podcast episode, I'm unpacking where this permission-seeking comes from, what it costs us, and howto give yourself the permission slip you've been waiting for.

You’re waiting for a doctor, boss, or lab result to tell you it’s okay to finally take your health seriously. Spoiler: You already have permission. Stop waiting to be “sick enough” and start healing on your terms. This episode will give you the push you didn’t know you needed.

For individuals: If you're done waiting, let's talk aboutwhat happens next.

For organizations: Let's discuss creating cultures wherepeople don't need to prove they're worthy of support.

- Why we seek permission we don't actually need

- Where this pattern comes from

- What it costs us while we wait

- How to give yourself the permission slip that's beenyours all along

Stop waiting for permission that's never coming.
