Affs & Laughs

So often we're told not to sound cocky - for fear of being seen as arrogant, or not humble. But doesn't that mess with us after a while? 

What if we practiced being confident out loud...not after we'd already done something perfectly...but before we were sure we could do it? :)

Soft skills don't make you weak or more inferior at work - they ENHANCE YOUR TALENTS! Time to get acknowledged, promoted, and paid for what makes you uniquely you. You've done a lot of work on your personal development and built up your EQ - own what that means for you and the work you do. Let's change the system from within.

The concept of **playing big** can sometimes feel really scary and out of reach. Like it's only available for celebrities or people seeking fame. IT'S NOT. It can literally just mean NOT playing small any more. Not letting yourself, others, or even your past life hold you back. What if you had no agenda other than to just untether yourself from what holds you back? See what possibilities can occur? No destination in mind. Just knowing you're no longer available for being held back. YOU GOT THIS!

Worthiness Coach Jillie Johnston - my good friend and business partner in Woman Up - is our first guest on Affs & Laughs, and in today's episode we find the joy and humor in tripping forward, skinning your knees...and going first. It's no surprise this would be our topic for the FIRST guest.

Today you're in for something different.  A quick riff, a quick little reminder about what self love is really doing in our lives. We get so caught up in what we think self love is and what's it's for, that we lose sight of what it's doing for us at a very, base line. Enjoy and come back to this on days when it all feels a little silly. It's okay. XO, Rose Up

Let's take the mystery and faux mastery out your growth journey. You get to decide what personal development concepts, hacks, and tips work for you. You get to collect all of what serves you into a beautiful recipe. Your recipe. It is up to you to decide what makes it in, what serves. Take all the good advice, themes, and more. Leave the rest. Be your own guru.

Taking breaks from self help can be a good thing. You can still grow without pushing, forcing, and exhausting yourself with inner work. Sometimes the answer is that you need support. Other times the answer is that you need a break. You're allowed to take time to integrate what you've learned. To go out and "skin you knees." Don't follow what's not working. Take a beat. Reassess. 

SUPPORT SQUAD...ASSEMBLE!!! All great women have an amazing team behind them. Who do you need in your corner? Instead of waiting to receive, you can feel empowered in knowing that the team you need is ready to be put together. Emotional support? Find a group, coach, or therapist. Interest and hobby? There's a group or friend for that. Need help at work? Find a colleague who wants to chat and up level together. You're the main character in your own story, and you deserve a team to take you further. Onward & upwards!

Do you resist guidance? Do you reject feeling guided in any way (especially spiritually guided) because it feels like either A) all guidance is dangerous OR B) you don't know how to do it right? News flash: there's space between hyper independence and goddess vibes. Let's dig in (and not take it all so seriously!).

"Normalizing organizing" ...say that 5 times fast - ha! Organizing your life/home/business/work is not just for neat freaks and influencers. It is caring about your future self - finding grace for who you really are as a person…and setting yourself up for future success. Go. Be. Liberated!!!
