About this episode

In this episode, SharRon Jamison discusses the five types of people needed in your circle before making significant life decisions.

Who's really in your circle? Years ago, I heard a phrase I've never forgotten: it's not about the competence you don't have — it's about the company you keep. That statement is so true because none of us becomes our best selves on our own. In this unscripted, unedited episode, I share the 5 types of people we all need around us before making a major life decision — retirement, marriage, divorce, a move, a new career, a whole new chapter. You might find all five in one person, or you might need five different people. Either way, it's time to take an honest inventory of your circle. The 5 people — and the gift each one gives you: • The Intellect → CLARITY • The Insight → PERSPECTIVE • The Imagination → POSSIBILITY • The Intuition → DISCERNMENT • The Intermediary → CONNECTION My hope is that your life looks like a garden of possibility — not "gutter living," where we shrink ourselves to fit our circumstances. Your future does not have to be a continuation of your past. If this episode spoke to you, please share it and subscribe.
