What’s really holding you back? 4 roadblocks and how to move past them

Ever feel like something invisible is keeping you from living the life you truly want? In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers on the four biggest things that hold us back—and how to break free of these Big 4 Tethers.

I’ll take you inside my own experience of making a big, scary move to Oregon, not as a forever decision, but as an experiment in following my inner knowing. We’ll also dive into the powerful story of Maya Lombarts, who defied medical expectations and family pressures to create a life that aligns with her true self. Her journey is a testament to what happens when you stop listening to fear and start trusting your own voice.

From pragmatic advice to mindset and somatic exercises to support you in releasing tethers, this episode is a must-listen as you step into 2025.

As always, our Thursday Thread ends with a mini breathwork session.

Here’s what we’re unpacking in this episode:

• The four sneaky things that keep you stuck (and how to move past them)
• How small, intentional steps can unlock possibilities you never imagined
• Why fear of permanence is one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves
• The power of joy and intuition in guiding you toward your next best step
• How to shift your mindset to see challenges as opportunities instead of roadblocks

4 Tethers Holding You Back From Living Your Best Life:

1. Hearing that a decision is permanent
2. Being afraid of what other people will think
3. Feeling like you have to have it all figured out
4. Listening to what others this is bet for you

At the end of the episode, I’ll lead you through a guided meditation to help you connect with your own inner wisdom—because the answers you’re looking for? They’re already inside you.

Let’s do this. Hit play and start stepping into the life that’s been waiting for you.

And welcome to Untethered with Jen Liss, the podcast that's here to help you break free, be you and unleash your inner brilliance. I'm your host, jen, and in this episode we're going to talk about four of the biggest tethers that may be holding you back and what to do about them. Let's dive in. Hey there, unicorn, it's Jen. Welcome back to the podcast for this Thursday thread. It's a Thursday thread. It's a Thursday thread, so it's a Thursday thread episode, pulling a little string from our episode on Tuesday with Maya Lombard. So, whether you listen to that episode or not, this episode will be definitely beneficial to you, because we're going to talk about some big things with a capital T, but not things tethers. Oh, those old things, those old things, those little tethers. Yeah, we're going to talk about those things that are keeping us from living our most brilliant and authentic life. We're going to dig into four of those, and all of these came up in this conversation that I spoke about with Maya.

Speaker 1: 1:18

So Maya is a person who was born and raised in Belgium and in her teen, she was diagnosed with a disease. The doctors told her you're going to have this disease your entire life. You're always going to have to watch your energy. You're always going to have to walk with this cane. This is just your life and she did not accept that. And she also did not accept that she had to spend all of her life in Belgium, even though it's what her family wanted, even though it's what her mom wanted. She chose not to live that life. She chose a different life for herself and she listened to her inner voice. And so super powerful story.

Speaker 1: 1:50

If you want to go back and listen to that story, there are a few things that came up along the way where some of the people who I interview on this podcast. I look at them and I say you're doing it, you're doing it. Please come on the podcast and tell us how you're doing it, because there are so many things that can keep all of us. It's the number one regret of the dying. The top regret of the dying is I did not live my life on my terms. I did not live the life that I felt like was true to me. I did not live authentically, I did not do all the things that I wanted to do, and I regret it, and it's my goal for you to not get to that moment in time and regret it. I want you to regret it, no regrets.

Speaker 1: 2:33

I think we're always going to have my personal belief on regret. There's always going to be things that we're like, ah, I wish I might've done it differently. And it's also my belief that we can turn every single one of those into a gift or opportunity. Everything that we feel like is a oh, I wish I should have or would have or could have done is actually a gift. There's always a gift in whatever decision we made, always, always, always.

Speaker 1: 3:01

Huge fan of decision-making from our intuition and finding the gifts no matter what, because there's gifts along the way always and when we know that it makes breaking these tethers so much easier. So, beginning there, when we can find a gift and an opportunity in everything Now, it's hard sometimes to find the gift in the moment. Sometimes it might need two hours, it might need 20 minutes, it might need two days, two weeks, two months, two years, two decades. Sometimes it takes a while to find the gift, but there's always a gift there. And when we know that we can sometimes get to the gift a little bit faster, faster we can get to the gift faster we can let go of any tethers. But let's talk about four. We got four big tethers that I want to talk about today. These are things that could be holding you back from living your most magical, most brilliant life. Number one and we talked about this quite a bit in Maya's conversation Fearing that a decision is permanent. This fear that a decision that you make is absolutely positively permanent and we'll take it to. I'll give my personal example.

Speaker 1: 4:18

When Joey and I decided to move to Oregon, so much of what kept us from moving to the Pacific Northwest we'd had this kind of interesting desire to move away from home. Since we got together, we came to the Pacific Northwest for the very first time in I think it was 2007. He has a brother who lives up here and we were both like magic. We both felt really called to this area. We really, really loved it and we actually didn't even know that this is where we were going to end up living even at the time when we ended up moving here. It's not like we were targeting the pacific northwest, we just ended up here, but we had that little something in us that was like oh, what might that be like? And and so much. Actually, several of these to other we're going to talk about actually were engaged in us not moving away from home, but one of them was that feeling that if I decide that we're going to do this, we're going to move 1500 miles away from home, that it's going to be a permanent decision, that all the stakes are on me making that decision.

Speaker 1: 5:27

Once I do it, I will feel shameful, I will feel regret, maybe if I don't like it. Now, once I got here and once we settled in and once I started seeing things now from the different perspective of having experience moving away from home, it doesn't feel like it would be such a big deal to move number one, to move somewhere else, like, oh, we did it, we did it. Oh, my gosh, we did it. Look at me, we did the thing. Holy shit, look at what we can do. I have this knowing in my body now that I could do it again and I could do it again and I could do it again and I could go home and not feel shameful about it. Now I think that shame we're not going to dig into shame today. Shame is a big old tether. That's a big tether. But if I had, I don't intend to go back to Wichita, kansas, if somehow my journey did end up taking me back there. If we did end up moving back there, I would be okay with it. But before we moved here, before we did the thing, before we took action and actually moved and had the experience of living in a different place, I thought how terrible would that be to go all the way there to do all of this and then end up right back here.

Speaker 1: 6:45

So here's my message to you about this tether of feeling like a decision that we make is absolutely permanent. Let yourself experience doing the thing that you want to do. Let yourself engage in the actual experience, because nothing is permanent, nothing, nothing. You are on a spinning ball of rock, which is actually energy that is just moving. We're living in utter chaos, you guys, actual chaos, and I don't say that to totally freak you out, but maybe do the things that you want to freaking do. We're here for a blink of an eye. Let yourself experience, because once you experience, your perspective is going to be totally different from this perspective. Now You're not going to be afraid of the same things that you were afraid of. So here's what to do about that tether If you're like I really want to do it, but I'm afraid that blank, or I'm afraid that this is going to happen. Just do the thing. Just do it, just freaking. Let yourself do it, and it doesn't have to be the full, huge thing.

Speaker 1: 7:59

Let yourself start applying for jobs. If you want to move we're going to use this example of moving because it's relevant to Maya's conversation too Start applying for jobs in other places. See what it feels like when somebody gives you a callback and you interview for a job in a different city. What is the harm? What is the harm in letting yourself go through the interview process for a job in Florida, letting yourself call a realtor in Costa Rica, letting yourself go and tour some apartments in Kansas City when you live in Wichita, three hours away? Let yourself engage in a behavior that takes you in a step toward that nudge that you were feeling.

Speaker 1: 8:42

It can be the tiniest thing, because that's what happened with Joey and I when we ended up moving to the Pacific Northwest. We both sat down our very first step. I said, okay, each of us make a list of cities in the US that we would be willing to live in. Each of us made a list, 25 cities, 25 cities that each of us were willing to live in. And then we whittled our lists each of us were willing to live in. And then we whittled our lists, each of our lists. We brought them together and we sat down and we had a session and we said, okay, raleigh, north Carolina I don't remember if that was on both of our lists there was a city in North Carolina. There was Charleston. South Carolina, I know was on the list. Portland Oregon was obviously on the list. New Orleans was on my list but it absolutely was not on Joey's and I was very sad about it. So I was like but we can only live there for like a year. He's like I don't want to live in New Orleans. So we had that discussion and it brought up so much for us and it engaged a level of excitement that we both didn't. We hadn't previously let ourselves feel so by engaging in this activity where we both did this thing. And then we came together and then we're like well, okay, joey sat down and he started applying for jobs in our collective cities that we had whittled down to. He applied at jobs all over the country. He ended up going and interviewing at one in North Carolina. He ended up being offered that job, turned it down. Same day he got this call from Portland, oregon. We felt like it was a sign from the universe and we ended up here. So that's that story.

Speaker 1: 10:08

But really, where it started and the importance of releasing this tether is taking a teeny, tiny, aligned action. And that action is not thinking. That action is a physical doing of something. So, whatever it is that you want to do maybe it's writing a book that is something that is one of my dreams Sit down and write the page, write the first page. Sit down and do the thing, do the thing, take the action, engage with it. How does it feel? Was that fun? Let yourself feel the fun. Let yourself feel it. We will just hold ourselves back and that's just totally your nervous system taking care of you and being like it's not safe to change this familiar hell is wonderful. Your nervous system thinks that that is true and it is not. Not true, fake news, okay, number two. So number one was fearing a decision is permanent. It's not. Let yourself engage in a tiny action of change that is going to start to show you that this is a fun decision that you actually really want to make. Number two fearing what other people might think. Being afraid of what other people are going to think.

Speaker 1: 11:21

I'm convinced that this is the biggest tether that is keeping us because we naturally, as human beings, we want belonging, we want to be part of the tribe, we need to belong. We needed to belong and we still need it. Actually, belonging is what keeps us healthy and secure and healthy in our nervous systems. Finding that sense of belonging with our community is very, very important to us. That's not just something that went away as we have evolved into modern society. We still have that need. But when we were in tribes, we needed belonging to stay safe from saber-toothed tigers that could be around any corner. We didn't have cities to keep ourselves safe, so we needed belonging. We don't want to be outcast. If you're outcast, you could actually be physically harmed. And the same is true now. If you're outcast from your tribe, from a tribe, if you don't have connections with other human beings, your nervous system feels unsafe. We feel safe in the collective, we feel safe being part of a group.

Speaker 1: 12:25

It is one of the very first things that your nervous system does If, say, imagine you're out on a hike and you're hiking along and you hear a scary sound and you think, oh my gosh, there might be a tiger in this forest, legitimately. Sometimes my brain is like there's a tiger. There are no tigers just wandering around in Portland Oregon, but maybe there's a mountain lion or something. The very first thing that your body will do, the very first thing that you do, is to look for other people. If you don't see other people, the next thing that you want to do, the urge that you will feel, is to call out we seek support, we seek help. We need that belonging. Now, that need for belonging is what causes us to care so dang much about what other people think. It's your nervous system. So when we notice ourselves not doing something that we know is truly aligned for us, there's something that you want to do Like. You just really want to do it.

Speaker 1: 13:29

Take Maya's example. She really wanted to move back to Peru, but her mom didn't want her to. So she's dealing with this situation of feeling like I might hurt my mom. I'm going to potentially be kicked out from the herd. My mom is going to not love me anymore. She's going to love me less. She's going to hate that I'm doing this. All of the things I mean.

Speaker 1: 13:51

I felt all the exact same things from my parents, whether or not they were actually projecting that onto me. I felt like it was true. I felt like they are going to kick me out of the family, they're not going to love me anymore. I felt it with my siblings, I felt it with my going to kick me out of the family. They're not going to love me anymore. I felt it with my siblings, I felt it with my parents.

Speaker 1: 14:07

So in order for me to move, in order for Maya to move, for us to do this, we had to deal with our nervous systems. We had to remind ourselves that it is safe to follow our dreams. It is safe for me to try. And let's go back to tether number one that we talked about no decision is permanent. Nothing is permanent. I can always go back. So reminding ourselves that change is possible can be helpful, and doing that while tending to your nervous system.

Speaker 1: 14:41

So one of the practices that I love to do, of course, is breathwork and reminding myself via breathwork. There's a lot of grounding. What I would suggest is a grounding technique of some sort. You can go into nature and actually combining multiple of these together is deeply supportive. You can go into nature and go for a walk and let yourself remember, into nature and go for a walk and let yourself remember. This is why I want to do this and to be curious with yourself. Why is it that I want to do this? What is driving me to want to do this thing? What is exciting to me about this? Follow your light, what is the light that is here for me? And, as you remember, as you, let your body respond, as your body says, this sounds really fun. This is just something that I've always wanted to do. I've always wanted to write a book and I'm excited and I feel like I've got a story to tell. I've got something inside of me that wants to come out.

Speaker 1: 15:40

You can take some deep breaths. What I recommend is the pulse breath, which is chew into the nose and chew out through the mouth. So you breathe in twice in the nose, breathe out twice through the mouth, while reminding yourself it is safe for me to want things for me, it is safe for me to do things that are fun for me, and it is safe for my parents to want me to stay. It's okay that they want me to stay and it's okay for me to want to go. It's okay that I worry that the book might not be picked up from a publisher and it's okay for me to go through the act of writing the book.

Speaker 1: 16:27

So we do the and while simultaneously regulating our nervous system. Because what conscious breath does for you is it activates your parasympathetic nervous system, it grounds you, it brings you into the present moment, which is where you can make your best decisions for you, and it's where those tethers release. When we come into the present moment, there's no tethers. You're untethered when you're fully in the present moment. So that is how we release. Tether number two, fearing what other people might think. Tether number three, feeling like you have to have it all figured out.

Speaker 1: 17:04

I need to know all of the steps. I have to know exactly how this is going to happen. I need to know the outcome. I need to know that if I am going to quit my job, or if I'm going to start a side hustle, or if I'm going to do this thing that I really want to do, that it is going to be successful. I need to know that I'm going to do this thing that I really want to do, that it is going to be successful. I need to know that I'm going to make $100,000. I need to know the exact steps that are going to get me there. That's where we get in our head and the truth is that we don't know. We don't know the exact steps that are going to get us to a place. We don't know. We don't know if we're going to make $100,000. We might make $700,000. We might make $7 million, we might make $7 billion. We don't know what the ultimate outcome is going to be. But what we do know. Here's what we do know.

Speaker 1: 17:57

You know that you are being called to do something. You're being called forward. You have a nudge, you have a curiosity, you've got a little something that is inside of you that is driving you into action. And the more you keep telling yourself I've got to have all the steps figured out, the more you're going to trip over your own feet and you're not going to let that thing drive you. It's driving you, you're not driving it. This is a self-driving car situation. If you keep trying to take control of the wheel, it's going to get all kinds of wacky. Let it drive you. Let your light, your curiosity, your creativity, your fun, your joy, your magic drive you. The more we let that happen, it's going to take us exactly where we need to go. More. We let that happen. It's going to take us exactly where we need to go. Release control of the wheel. How do we do that? Your nervous system? We remind our nervous system that it's safe. It's safe to have fun, it's safe to follow my joy, it's safe to do these things that I really want to do. It's safe for other people to see me trip over my own feet and fail. It's safe for me to let myself fail so that I can find the gift and the opportunity in that experience. That's how we let go of those steps.

Speaker 1: 19:15

When somebody very first said to me you've got to release the how, I was like what the F are you even talking about? But once you let yourself have an experience where you say you know what, I'm just going to follow my fun. I'm going to choose in this moment to follow my fun and I'm going to let myself see where it leads. And I know I'm going to find a gift and an opportunity, no matter where it goes. Try this with something teeny tiny. With something teeny tiny, don't plan your day. Have a day where you're like I'm just not going to plan my day, I'm literally going to follow my fun. I'm going to ask myself every hour what fun thing do I want to do, what sounds fun for me, what would be delightful right now, and watch how that day unfolds for you. Imagine that being your entire life, because likely, here's my guess is, at the end of the day, you're going to be feeling really good. You're going to be feeling so good, you're going to be feeling really magical, and you might have a conversation with somebody.

Speaker 1: 20:20

Maybe you go to a coffee shop and you sit down and you are lit up, and so they're like oh, what's going on in her day? Everybody else who's come in here has looked really groggy. But you're lit up and so you start to have a conversation with this person and what you learn is that they're actually an ideal client. And you're like oh, I actually do that for a living. Have you ever thought about this? And you give them that question and the next time you go into the coffee shop, they're like I was thinking about that thing that you said. What do you do? You do life coaching. What is that? Tell me more. And then they start following you on Instagram and then, two months from now, they become your client, maybe two days from now, but it's more likely that You're sowing seeds, and we're sowing seeds with our light, all day, every day, and you are not watering your seeds when you're hanging out in shit that you don't want to do and when you're feeling like you have to have it all figured out and you're just tripping over your own feet and you're grabbing the wheel.

Speaker 1: 21:20

It's like that whole phrase Jesus, take the wheel. That's the truth of it. That's the truth of it. Get your hands off the wheel and let your fun steer you, because it knows exactly where to take you to that brilliant life. A brilliant life. The more we try to control it, the more you're going to get to the end of your life and be like damn it. That's not what I thought was laid out before me and I don't want that for you.

Speaker 1: 21:46

So that was tether. Number three feeling like you have to have it all figured out. Number four listening to how others think that you should live. Now, this is similar to tether two and fearing what other people might think, but also different. Also different, because here's this funny thing about the human condition is that we think we know best for other people. Right, you know it.

Speaker 1: 22:12

If you've got kids, we sometimes think that we know best. I think it with my nieces and my nephews, I think it with my siblings, I think it with my parents, I think it with my spouse. I feel like sometimes, why don't they just blank and we can? Why don't they just blank everybody to death? We're all doing this. Admit it. You do it to other people too. So do I. We all do it, because we do. We see things in other people and we see opportunities and in our lives we can't always see the opportunities clearly for ourselves and other people are seeing them. But you might not be ready for it yet. We're often not ready for the thing that other people might see for us. So that's one side. There's two sides of the coin that I like to talk about. Sometimes we're just not yet ready for the thing.

Speaker 1: 23:08

For example, very early on in my exploration of what I wanted to do with an online business, multiple people said Jen, you should be coaching people. You're coaching me right now. You should be coaching people. I could not see it for myself. I couldn't see it. I wasn't ready. I needed to have a few more experiences. I needed to get more belief in myself. I needed to let myself grow, and then I was ready for it. So what other people thought I should be doing? If I had tried it at that point, it would maybe have been a little bit too much. I might have tried coaching and been like that was a fricking failure, holy banana bread. Nope, not doing this ever again. But I instead went on my own path and eventually found my way into coaching, gained the experience, gained the belief. I moved along on my path by following my own light and I see so many beautiful people doing this all day, every day, and we can listen to those other people for thoughts, of advice and like a little bit of steering for us.

Speaker 1: 24:17

But we're only going to say yes to things when we are fully ready, and that's really at the pace that you should be saying yes to things I don't should very often, but when you are ready and when it feels fun and exciting to you, not when somebody else is pushing it on you, and a great coach knows this too. A great coach will let somebody self-coach. Great coaches help you to self-coach. They don't tell you what to do to self-coach. They don't tell you what to do. We don't really want anybody telling us what to do, because nobody knows but you. Nobody can feel your dream but you. Nobody can feel your joy and your light but you.

Speaker 1: 24:57

So, even if your mom wants you to stay in your corporate job because that feels very safe and that feels like what she was raised with, and you loved numbers when you were a kid. So of course, you're an accountant. That's what you're always meant to do. That's what you're meant to be. Look at how stable it is, how wonderful it is, but you're miserable. Your mom can't. She can't feel your misery. She doesn't know. She can't feel that you know that there's something more or something different for you. They can't feel it. They can't feel this desire that you might have to go and explore and live an entirely different way. They can't feel it. Nobody else can feel your feelings but you.

Speaker 1: 25:37

So what other people think that you should be doing and how you should be living is completely irrelevant to your life's design, because your life's design is according to what you feel, what you are sensing, the energy that is flowing through you, your glittery magic that you were meant to pour out into the world Ain't nobody going to be able to tell you how to do it. But you, now you can find mentors and advisors and I suggest this because they appear in your life and you're interested in what they are doing or what they are offering, because it's your light. It's your light that has guided you to that person, and so you can listen to them. But do beware when somebody's telling you what to do. Beware at every corner. When somebody says this is what you need to do, beware.

Speaker 1: 26:29

And we all fall into this right Again, it's part of the human condition. We think that we know better for people and I catch myself falling into that occasionally with clients too, it's like ooh, that was a moment of telling when I could have supported them and self-coaching a little bit. Now, sometimes there are moments where you recognize it would be maybe supportive to share this with somebody and they can take it or they can leave it. But what I'm suggesting for you is that you recognize fully and completely that your life is going to be best lived by following what feels good to you. My friend Wendy I can't remember her exact quote the other day, but she said something to me like God is not mean, god does not have a mean sense of humor. The universe is not mean, it is not sending you on some terrible path.

Speaker 1: 27:22

Everything that is happening in your life's path is for design. It's here to support you, it's here to support the world, it's here to support other people. So continue to follow that light. You can trust it. There's not a lot else that we can trust to actually be constant and true in this lifetime.

Speaker 1: 27:42

Again, we're kind of living in what's actual chaos. If we could see all of the little energetic things that are happening around us all the time, you are actually energy that is constantly moving. Your fingertip is not still, it's not stagnant. It's made of tiny little molecules nothing smaller than molecules quirks and things that are all swirling around all the time and it kind of boggles the brain right. Your brain can't see that on purpose, because if you could see that, we would all just be like we wouldn't be getting anything done.

Speaker 1: 28:10

But I point it out because the one thing that is constant is your light, is your path, is the journey that you are being led on. So let yourself be led. When you let yourself be led, that tether completely goes away. And with all of these four tethers that we have talked about today, here's the constant, the thing that is going to support you the most on your untethering journey, on your journey back to your most truest, authentic self, the truest authentic expression of yourself, the truest, most authentic life that you live, is learning to become present in the moment. That's when you can connect with that light. We can't connect with our light sometime in the future or sometimes in the past. Now we can do inner child work and we can do higher self future work yes, of course we can connect with that.

Speaker 1: 29:02

But the worrying and the festering and the wondering and the thinking that I need to know all of those things there's no present moment light magic in those moments. Those moments are simply there to guide you back home to your light, to guide you back home into the present and to connect inward. So, as we do on every Thursday episode, let's take some time to connect inward and to connect with the present moment and that light that is right here inside of you. If you're able to be seated and close down your eyes with me, that's something that I'm going to invite in this practice today. If you're driving, you can listen in while keeping keen attention on the road, or you can come back and listen later. If you're walking, just soften your gaze, be aware of your surroundings. But you can soften your gaze and do this while walking. I do walking, breathwork and meditation all the time and highly recommend it. Actually, it is a great way to be in nature while simultaneously being mindful. If you are seated, taking a nice big, deep inhale into the nose, really feeling the expansion of your belly, letting that inhale go, letting that inhale go, taking another inhale, letting that exhale go, maybe with an audible sigh, letting go of control of the breath for a moment here, letting your body breathe itself, noticing the rise and the fall of your chest, the rise and the fall of your stomach, the temperature of air as it moves into your nostrils, noticing if there's a temperature difference in the air as it moves out through your nostrils, Bringing your awareness to where your body is meeting the seat beneath you or where each foot is meeting the
