Whether you’ve heard of Cringe Mountain or not, this episode is for you if you’ve ever wanted to try something new or step out of your comfort zone and have been paralysed by the fear of being judged by others.
This isn’t just about posting on social media. It could be starting to network more if you’re job searching, trying to get fit if you’ve not exercised for a while, or wanting to tell your friends you’re starting something new.
If you think people are going to scoff or try and drag you back down, you’ve got to climb ‘Cringe Mountain’.
You’ll learn:

  • Why it feels scary, but what’s on the other side that makes it all worthwhile
  • Why not starting because of avoidance or perfectionism can cause you to stagnate and miss out on opportunities to grow
  • How to develop the Climber’s Mindset and keep going when times get tough
  • Advice and ideas to help you set out from Basecamp and make the climb
  • Lily’s Grandma’s advice to keep in mind when something doesn’t go according to plan

So if you’ve been wanting to do something new but have been too anxious to get started, listen in and hear about others who have made the climb - and how you can too!
And listen to the very end to hear Lily’s special rendition of ‘The Climb’.
