In this episode of Taking Back Monday, Alyssa sits down with Sandra Possing, coach and digital nomad, to explore what it takes to thrive by embracing risk and rejecting the conventional 9-to-5. Sandra shares her personal journey of redefining success, ditching the need for perfection, and leaning into failure as a path to growth. Together, they discuss why risk-taking can be a superpower, how to overcome analysis paralysis, and ways to create a career that aligns with who you really are. Whether you're looking to break free from the mold or just curious about what life outside the "safe" path looks like, this episode will inspire you to think bigger, take action, and maybe even redefine success for yourself.

Key Takeaways:

• Failure Fuels Growth: Taking imperfect action often reveals valuable insights faster than playing it safe.
• Redefine Success on Your Terms: Success isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s about building a life that aligns with your values.
• Move Past Overthinking: Action is the antidote to analysis paralysis—taking steps forward builds clarity and confidence.
