Bitesize Moment: "You're Not a Tree." — Brian Keane on getting unstuck and changing your life
About this episode
Brian Keane shares his journey of career change and the importance of mindset in overcoming feelings of being stuck.
In this bitesize moment pulled from the Laura Dowling Experience back catalogue, fitness coach, author and speaker Brian Keane tells the story of hating his first career as a teacher — and the line from his mum that changed everything. He's honest that reinvention isn't instant (he went broke twice before it worked) and lands on a reframe anyone can use: it's not being stuck that traps you, it's the feeling of being stuck. 🔑Key Points • The day Brian knew his first career was the wrong fit • His mum's question: "what would you do for free?" • Why it's the feeling of being stuck, not the situation, that holds you back • How reinvention can take time, including failing along the way 🎧 Listen to the full episode here.
