ACTUALLY, YES!

I am so proud of the people listening to this. The ones that are trying to improve themselves and their situations. I feel like in this crazy world we do not always hear this. So here I am telling you that you are doing amazing, even when you feel like giving up!

Today we talk about how the online community has helped us in our personal journey. It is actually a funny story on how we met. Ashley and I met in line at a Rachel Hollis Women's Conference in Florida in January 2020 and how that has transitioned us to still keep in touch online.  We touch base on how we got the courage to step out of our comfort zone and had we not done that we may have not became friends. We also talk about how sometimes even having an online community helps you kind of be a little more yourself as weird as that sounds, our favorite parts of online community and suggestions for those who are new to finding their "tribe" or community. 

You can also find Ashley on any handle as Thriving on Ashes (her blog, Instagram or her Facebook business community page. 

We all go through various situations where you question what you are doing and why things are happening. Sometimes growth hurts and is a scary thing. In a way sometimes it is the universe or God's way of reminding you that you are stronger than you think and that every situation has a take away. Life may not go as planned, but somehow something bigger and better is waiting for you.

Today I talk about the warning signs that your body presents when it is dealing with stress. When you feel these coming on you can then readjust your mood and approach the stress in a different aspect once you are self aware.  In the end we can only control what WE do and how WE react. 

Today I talk  about how community/weak ties can make a huge impact. Specifically during hate and racism.  How it is important to take a stand for what is right even if you are scared. Finding community can help get you out of your comfort zone and speak your story/support what is right.  I reference the book The Power of Habit Why We Do What We Do In Life and Business by Charles Duhigg  and it talks about Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks and how the movement became so strong. I compare that to real time.

This Sunday I talk a little about my Ennegram number and how it has helped me understand myself. It helps me see when I am the best version of myself to when I start slipping into the unhealthy version.

I used the test from https://www.truity.com/test/enneagram-personality-test

I then used https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/type-descriptions to further dig into the break down of my number. 

 I also, talk about how no matter what you do people will talk. If you're doing amazing things, people will talk. If you're not doing things, people will talk. So why not do the thing that has been on your heart? You won't know unless you try.  Sometimes I do things even when I am scared because I want to push myself. And I choose to create an amazing legacy for my future family.  Not only that but I have a found a community online that helps keep me accountable. 

Again please share, like and subscribe! It is truly appreciated and even if it is not for you. I hope it will reach someone out there who needed to hear this by you sharing it :)

In this episode I talk about how the Book The Power of Habit Why We Do What We Do In Life and Business by Charles Duhigg. I discuss the breakdown of how 

Cue

Routine

Reward 

Drives our habits in way or another the good and the bad. I also, apply examples of my life and in today's society using these 3 components. My goal is to touch on this tool that has helped me and share with others  to help change their habits that they have been meaning to change. 

At some point I talk about May being Mental Health Awareness month and how I have created a 7 Day challenge specifically for May to help with that.
