The Power of Small Steps

In this solo episode of Beautiful Work Beautiful Life, Laurel Boivin explores how tiny, consistent actions can create extraordinary change.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the gap between where you are and where you want to be, this conversation is for you. Laurel shares stories from her own journey—including the lessons learned while walking 1,500 miles in a single year—and client experiences that show how starting small builds momentum, confidence, and self-trust.

You’ll discover:

* Why small, ordinary steps are more powerful than giant leaps

* How consistency shapes confidence and strengthens self-trust

* The importance of celebrating progress as much as setting goals

* Practical ways to recommit when you’ve fallen out of rhythm

* Journaling prompts to help you gain clarity and take your next step

Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration:

1. Where do I feel overwhelmed by the size or magnitude of the change I want to make in my life?

2. What’s one step I could take in the next 24 hours to move toward my goal?

3. What kind of support do I need to keep going day after day? (Do I need a system, a tool, or a person?)

4. How would my life feel if I trusted that small steps are enough to accomplish what I want to accomplish?

5. How does it feel to be more confident and have more self-trust, knowing that I have the ability to do what I set out to do?
