In today's episode, I am so excited to welcome my very special guest Aviva Gordon to discuss the process of making changes in one's life and not settling for less. Aviva is a highly successful super lawyer who, among her many, many other achievements, has been included in the Distinguished Women of Nevada Book, is a member of the Nevada Women's Hall of Fame and the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers, and has been the chairperson for the Henderson Chamber of Commerce. She is also the mother to three children, enjoys a full life outside of her work, and just happens to be a past client of mine.

Throughout the episode, we will delve into the challenges and rewards of recognizing and addressing areas in which we may be settling in our lives. We also discuss the importance of slowing down and taking stock of our progress, as well as the steps we can take to make meaningful change. Together, Aviva and I draw upon our own personal experiences and the strategies we have learned to effectively deal with negative self-talk and toxic thoughts and share this valuable information with listeners here today. Aviva is also the perfect guest to have on the podcast as I share some news about the She Doesn't Settle Group program, which is currently open for enrollment, and a new program for past clients to continue their work with more accountability and support.

Quotes:

"As you may know from listening to this podcast, the She Doesn't Settle Group program is open for enrollment and you can use the link in the show notes to take the assessment to identify what areas you may be settling in and what that is doing in terms of impacting other areas of your life and what you need to do to make change and how to start."

"We are all a work in progress. That's why I want to offer something to past clients, so we can continue to do the work not at the level in terms of time that the She Doesn't Settle program offers, but definitely consistent support and opportunity for that."

"Aviva speaks directly to this [making changes in your life and not settling]. She is an amazing person, very successful in her field of work, driven, ambitious. You'll relate to her."

"And most importantly, what you taught me was you can talk back to it. What was great about what you had done with us was prepare us to talk back to it. When the voice says this, how are you going to respond to it?"

"If there is nothing else that I can talk about from going through your program, it really is having the skills to recognize that toxic self talk and to confront it is still in my head. It's always going to go away. That's never going to go away."

"There is a reason that we have that. But it doesn't mean that you have to believe it, and it doesn't mean you have to listen to it all the time."

"Processing of what it was that some of the other women were sharing, and really the vulnerability that we all allowed ourselves to feel in that context, I suspect was something unique for all of us - to allow ourselves to be vulnerable and to really safely and collaboratively tease out whatever it was that was happening. "

"What I appreciate and what served the sort of logical part of my brain is that the information that you provide and the help that you provide is science based."
