Closing the 18-Inch Gap Podcast-EP077: Who?

Who have you become—and who have you left behind?
Who is the person buried beneath the roles, the fears, and the expectations?
Who holds the key to the dreams you've locked away while the world kept spinning?
The answer is closer than you think. How close? It's within 18 inches. The 18 inches that lie between your mind and your heart.

I'm Edwin Soler, more than a life coach. I'm your Dream Realization Partner.

Together, we're not just asking Who?—we're uncovering the truth of who you were meant to be.
We'll peel back the layers, confront the lies, and revive the dreams you thought were lost forever or keep pushing back again and again.

Because the moment you dare to ask Who?—you begin to remember, you start to believe again and you start taking the first steps to make those dreams a reality.

So lean in. Open your heart and mind and let's discover… Who?

"You've just asked yourself the hardest questions you've probably avoided for years.
Who did your dream begin with? Who do you blame for letting it slip away? Whose lies have you believed that said you weren't enough? You've faced the voices of doubt, the weight of fear, and the comfort of waiting for perfect conditions.

But now, the waiting is over.
The critics don't get the last word, you do!
The doubts don't get to decide your future, you do!
So, ask yourself, not tomorrow, not someday — but right now:
Who must I become to reclaim what was lost? Who can help me take the first step

Because the truth is this: your dream has been calling you all along.
And today… you finally have the chance to answer it"
