Welcome to Coaches on a Mission and thank you so much for tuning in. 

We spend a lot of time on this show diving into strategy. And while some mindset work sneaks in here and there, it’s not a major focus of this show.

Yet, a self supportive mindset is crucial as you build your business. 

Putting yourself out there every day, pouring so much care and time into serving your clients, and taking on the risks that come with business building are really big deals.

So, today’s episode will dive deeper into mindset work.

My guest today is Lauren Litt who is the founder of Lil Shameless Plug.  Lauren is on a mission to help coaches who don't like social media but know they need it for their biz to build a thriving community online.

And over the last few years, her business has really grown.  But Lauren feels stretched too thin without a ton of time to devote to things other than work.

She came into the episode feeling aware that something inside her needs to shift so she can show up for herself the was she needs to.  But neither of us were exactly sure what it might take to make that happen.

But after some coaching and exploration, we discovered that it’s time for Lauren to drop her hard worker badge of honor and allow herself to receive more easily. 

With this discovery, we created a 3 step plan for Lauren to shift from the inside out.  Here’s what that looks like: 

1. Understand that no matter how deeply ingrained our self image might be, we can consciously redesign it. 

2. Practice daily free form writing to uncover and release the deeply rooted beliefs that keep you stuck in a self image that may not serve you. 

3. Forgive yourself for the judgments you’ve held about yourself and others.

So, if you feel like the missing link between you and the next level just might be a different mindset, get ready to take some notes and explore your own self image.
