Hey everyone, welcome to our milestone 350th episode! Can you believe it? This is what happens when you're loving the process. The things we think will take forever to achieve sometimes happen before we even realize it. In today’s episode, we’re diving into a live stream recording from this week about thriving during challenging seasons. I want to share the transformation I experienced during circumstances that could have brought me down completely. Instead of just weathering a challenging season, let's think about how to thrive during or after it. Or better yet, how do we alchemize a challenging season? Alchemy is all about converting something of a lower nature into something of a higher nature. So, how can you alchemize a challenging season? Whether you're facing difficulties in your personal or professional life, there's a profound gift in every challenge. You just have to focus on it. I'll be talking about the three things I did to shift from a challenging season to a new season of absolutely thriving. This topic has been on my heart for a while now. It's amazing to think about the difference a year can make in terms of where we are and the challenges we've overcome. As a company, we're experiencing phenomenal growth. You'll hear about what this season has in store for the She Sells brand moving forward, the vision for the podcast, and how we're bringing that vision to life.   Show Notes: [2:54] - Alchemy is converting something in a lower nature into something of a higher nature.

It might be hard to see the other side. [23:30] - Once you realize the gift you are receiving, you drop the resistance. [26:39] - We don’t get what we want. We get what we are. So become the person who has what you want. [29:10] - When you are in these hard seasons, you are becoming the person you want to be. [31:02] - You can start to see the parts of you that are not a match for the level you are aspiring for. [32:04] - When you set an intention for your next level of growth, you get to “mold the clay.”   Links and Resources: Instagram  |  LinkedIn  |  YouTube She Sells with Elyse Archer Home Page Abundance Mini Course Join the $10K Club Apply for the $50K Club Mastermind Money Mindset Live Event
