106. From Fear to Triumph: Lessons from the River
Have you ever found yourself too scared to try something new? Join me as I recount an unforgettable fly fishing adventure with my husband in stunning Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Despite being a total novice, this journey not only helped me overcome my initial fears, but also strengthened our relationship and taught me profound lessons about stepping out of my comfort zone. Under the expert guidance of our passionate guide, Chase, we navigated the breathtaking Snake River, and I discovered the sheer joy of fly fishing. By the end of the trip, I had caught 18 fish, including an impressive 20-inch brown trout, and gained invaluable insights from embracing new challenges.

Drawing parallels between my fly fishing experience and goal setting, I'll share four essential lessons: embracing being a beginner, focusing on incremental progress, cultivating curiosity, and immersing oneself in the learning process.
