Ever felt stuck right on the edge of a big change—whether it’s a new career, a dream adventure, or chasing something you’ve always wanted, but just couldn’t move forward? In this episode of Create The Best Me, I, Carmen Hecox, get real about the hidden reasons we hold ourselves back and the simple truths that can finally set us free.

I share my own story of hitting a life-altering setback while working toward my degree, and the critical mindset shifts that helped me push through. Whether it’s self-doubt, fear, judging critics, or setbacks that keep you from becoming your best self, you’ll walk away from this episode with the empowering steps you need to take action—at any age or stage.

Ready to kick self-doubt to the curb, overcome fear, and actually move toward your dreams? Tune in, and let’s talk about what’s really holding you back… and how you can start succeeding, today.

What You'll Learn:

1. Why your limiting beliefs are your biggest obstacle
   Discover how negative self-talk shapes your reality and keeps you stuck, plus why most of our daily thoughts are working against us rather than for us.
2. How to turn fear into excitement (and fuel for growth)
   Learn practical steps to reframe fear as a natural, healthy indicator—and why facing it head-on is the only path to confidence, health, and true progress.
3. The real power of open communication and self-advocacy
   Hear how honesty and vulnerability with others can lead to unexpected support, and the single biggest reason not to quit when you hit a setback.
4. How to embrace shifts and celebrate every win—big or small
   Find out why setbacks are crucial for growth, and how unexpected changes can open doors to entirely new (maybe even better!) dreams.
5. Why you’re never too old to learn or reinvent yourself
   Get inspired by stories of bold midlife changes, the surprising advantages adults have in the classroom, and why it’s perfectly okay not to be “the best”—you just need to finish.
