Stop Settling for Almost: How to Actually Get What You Want
She's So Lucky
Lucky girls aren't shy
Les emphasizes speaking up, being visible, and practicing shooting your shot as necessary behaviors for getting opportunities.
#331: In this unfiltered solo episode, I break down why February is about claiming what’s yours and what it really takes to get what you want. Not the aesthetic version. Not the “manifest and wait” version. The real version: with clarity, courage, discipline, and having that dog in you.
From recognizing your unfair advantage, to building the capacity to hold bigger dreams, to shooting your shot even when you’re scared, I walk you through how luck is actually built through bold decisions, uncomfortable growth, and choosing yourself even when it feels risky
✨ In this episode:
- I share personal stories about how early conditioning and outside voices can plant desires in us that aren’t actually ours
- Why it’s crucial to get honest about what you truly want (not what you’ve been told to want)
- I tell you the truth about “being humble” and why it makes you small
- Leaning into your real gifts instead of copying others and why that alignment is key
- Why the people closest to you may struggle the most with your growth
- How to protect your dreams without cutting everyone off
- How to unlock your unfair advantage, shoot your shot and get louder about your desires
If you’ve been feeling a pull toward something bigger but haven’t given yourself full permission to be honest about what you want, this episode is your wake-up call.
