Show Notes:

Are you where you want to be in your life? You may have gained deep insights from therapy, but maybe you still feel off track—like you have lost touch with yourself. Maybe you want to move forward, but a critical inner voice speaks up when you try to move beyond your comfort zone. Maybe, after meeting everyone else’s needs, you’re to exhausted to go after what it is you want—if you even know what that is. So what’s your next step? In this week’s episode of the Woman Worriers podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, shares her own experience with “imposter syndrome” as she launches a new business venture. She also talks about how coaching can help you build on the work you’ve already done so you can continue your journey and learn to put yourself at the top of your priority list.
