After nearly six years of podcasting, I've decided to pause Dare Yourself, and I want to share why.

In this personal episode, I reflect on what happens when something that once energized you begins to feel like an obligation, why I've learned to pay attention to that feeling, and how it can be a sign that you've outgrown something and are ready to expand.

Because often, the desire to reinvent doesn't begin with clarity about what's next. It begins with the feeling that what you're doing no longer fits.

I share what this means for me, a dare for you to consider in your own work and life, and my gratitude to everyone who has been part of this podcast journey.

Thank you for being here. I'm excited to share what comes next.

No matter how much you accomplish, there's a voice that says you're not there yet. I lived from that voice for 40 years, all the way into burnout. My guest has spent 37 years understanding where that voice comes from and how to live and create from a different place.

Dr. Steve Young has treated over 9,000 patients holistically and studies how our mind, body, and spirit work as one. When I asked him how he wanted to be introduced, he sent me one line: "Steve Young, like all humans, is just humaning as best as he can."

We talk about:

• Where the feeling of "not there yet" actually comes from, and why nothing you accomplish makes it go away
• A one-word identity shift that changes how your work feels, whether you're building a company or answering email all day
• The stories you've been wearing as your identity, and who you meet when you take one off

When you start something new, it’s easy to feel like a beginner.

I see this all the time with incredibly accomplished people. They leave the company, role, or career where they developed their expertise, and suddenly it feels like all that expertise stayed behind.

I call this Expertise Amnesia.

In this Walk With Me episode, I’m inviting you to think about:

• Why starting something new can make you forget how much expertise and experience you already have
• How Expertise Amnesia can affect the way you talk about your work, what you go after, and even what you charge
• What’s already on your “palette”: the experiences, wisdom, judgment, and natural gifts you get to bring with you into whatever you create next

You may be doing something you’ve never done before. But you are never starting from scratch.
