Episode 4: One Bold Thing
Rewiring Boldness: Expanding Your Space & Taking Action
Join host Liza Tullidge on this episode of Humaning as we explore what it means to take bold action, expand your space, and stop waiting for permission to live the life you want.
We all have an invisible line—a boundary between what we believe is possible for us and what feels out of reach. Whether it’s asking for an opportunity, pursuing a goal, or even just seeing ourselves as someone who belongs in certain spaces, we often wait. We wait to feel ready. We wait for certainty. We wait for permission.
But what if boldness isn’t about being fearless?
What if it’s just a muscle—one that you can build through small, repeatable actions?
In this episode, we break down:
- The One Bold Thing Rule—a simple but powerful way to build courage through small, consistent steps.
- The neuroscience of boldness—how repetition rewires your brain to normalize what once felt intimidating.
- Why your brain resists stepping outside your comfort zone—and why that discomfort is actually a good sign.
- The dopamine shift—how to wire excitement to the action itself, rather than the outcome.
- How to stop waiting and start expanding your space—one bold move at a time.
Taking action—any action—before you feel ready isn’t about the result. It’s about becoming the kind of person who does the thing. Because the people who make the biggest leaps aren’t necessarily the smartest or the best-connected—they’re just the ones who don’t wait.
If you’ve been hesitating, overthinking, or waiting for a sign, this episode is for you. Your sign is here.
Tune in for a motivating, practical, and neuroscience-backed conversation that will help you stop playing small, rewire your brain for possibility, and start taking bold, meaningful steps—one action at a time.
