She reminds you that what you are going through right now, you are MEANT to go through AND you will GET through!    Listen in to this refreshing episode that will reinvigorate that dream inside of you and inspire you to bet on yourself again. 

On this episode,  Brandi is sharing her 5 step guide to helping you find your purpose. 

Listen to this episode and then grab a journal and work through these steps: 

Let’s learn more about yourself:

What are your passions and your fear? What would you do today if there were no obstacles in your way?

Theses questions will give you the introspection to allow you to get better aligned. 

1. 1. Then Let’s talk about your younger self. If you were talking to your younger self, what would you tell yourself?
   2. Proof of possibility: Make a proof list in order to get over imposter syndrome. This will give you more credit to see that you are more qualified than you are giving yourself credit for. Go through the last 10 years of your life and make that list.
   3. Get vulnerable. And ask your closest 5 friends or co-workers: 
      1. What do you think I am gifted at?
      2. What are my best personality traits?
      3. What do you think about me when I am not around?
   4. Create a compelling future by creating new patterns and new behaviors
      1. Where do you want to be in 10 years? 
      2. What does your everyday look like?
      3. How do you care for yourself?
      4. How much do you work?
      5. How do you care for your mind body and soul?
      6. What is your family dynamic look like?
      7. How do you have fun?
      8. How much money do you have?
      9. What kind of work do you do?
      10. What do you invest in?

 

You are meant to live your highest version of yourself and by knowing your compelling future you can start being her NOW.

 

After diving in to the questions above, if you want to turn your purpose and passions into income and impact ask yourself this: 

• How do I monetize what I am passionate about? What solution do people need that I can offer?
• Write down your ideas that you could turn into a business? Remember: You don’t have to turn every hobby into a business, it's about creating a life on your terms whatever that looks like for YOU.

 

• THE BIGGEST THING- You can find fulfillment 2 ways
• To grow
• To give

I will always be here to support you in building a life on your terms that you are totally obsessed with! 

 

On today’s podcast episode, Brandi interviews Billie Ferguson, a mental health promoter, a holistic coach and consultant in my home state of Oklahoma. She is your overall wellness cheerleader.

Billie tells us about survival mode discussing topics such as: 

-With survival mode, our prefrontal cortex is not online

-We don’t realize that we are even stuck there. So we just freeze or run.

 

I asked Billie, how can we pull people out of survival mode and specifically the pattern of people pleasing?

She gives valuable tips such as: 

-Take a deep breath and move your body.

-Breath work is essential, it helps connect us to our nervous system. This helps us regulate and gets our nervous system online so we can get the thought processes back up and running.

-When you are getting started, start small,  just one 1 breath for 3 minutes even 5 minutes. 

-Stop trying to plug your life into someone else’s framework. Make it work for you.

 

Billie, When someone finds themselves in fight or flight, and there is resistance about being alone…. What would you recommend they do?

-Ask yourself about that part of you that doesn’t want to be alone. That part of you that wants to be with people, what does that part of yourself tell you.

-Don’t reject yourself.

-Trust yourself, take a breath, don’t overthink it.

- Ask yourself this POWERFUL QUESTION: What needs haven’t been met?

-Have you been looking inwards?

-Have you been experiencing joy and pleasure?

-Have you taken time for yourself?

 

How can Brain spotting help?

-It’s a technique based on where your eye positions are. It is connected to neuro-pathways in your brain that are connected to old thought patterns, belief systems etc, that are down deep in our brain stem. It allows us to bypass the “thinking brain” and get down deeper based off where your eyes are positioned.

 

Instead of avoiding we address it, we process it and we let it flow.

 

Are you choosing to be comfortable? It is time to step outside of your comfort zone, because that is what you know. Sometimes, chaos is what you know, you stay there because it is comfortable.

 

What does it feel like to come into ease and into your parasympathetic system?

 

-It’s like putting on new shoes that you have to break in. It is not always rainbow’s and butterflies. Some people feel different and its a struggle.

 

A sign that you are growing is by being uncomfortable or scared and having the courage to move forward. 

 

Billie, how can those listening work with you?

-I practice therapy and I can work with insurance. 

-I Practice coaching and consulting. With this modality, I get to bring in energy work !

-I am also passionate about working with business owners coming out of working for someone else.

 

Let’s talk about what it feels like to be fulfilled? What is it for you? 

-It is very individualized -what are you passionate about , what gives you peace what sets your soul on fire? 

-What does it feel like to get curious to try new things, and what do those things make you feel like?

-If we focus on the feeling first, then we can find our own formula.

-Being ok with it shifting with different seasons and transitions in life.

-As humans we want to know the how but you have to be ok with the unknown and that is what motherhood or any new transition period of life brings.

-Remember to trust yourself.

-There is no one that is going to skip the seasons of life !

 

 Implementation Work:

-Write a list to yourself of everything you have already made in through in life, from birth to now and at the bottom of that write to yourself, 'If I can make it through this, I can make it though anything.'

-When you are looking at that list, what versions of you were formulated from those situations. “ This happened to me, well I learned XYZ.” “There is still a part of me that still believes this…..”

For example: There is a part of me that knows how important it is to take care of myself because if I don’t I can’t do XYZ. So what part of me am I going to lean into TODAY?

On this episode with Brandi we are talking about the uncomfortable topic of money. When it comes to sales most women struggle to ask for what they want.

 James Wedmore is the GO TO expert on working with money and an abundance mindset. I highly recommend him!)

When It comes to money and asking for what we want, here is what I notice:

 

We have a lot of subconscious beliefs and thoughts around money and how we grew up with it formed our relationship with money and even how our parents felt about money often times passed down to us. 

Here are 3 questions and I want you to write down the first thing that came to your mind, no filtered thoughts! Free of judgement. Really spend time on these!

 

1. You have to give a client the biggest refund to date. What is your first thought? How does this make you feel?
2. A major medical expense jumps up in your family. What is your first thought? What is in your mind? How does this make you feel
3. You earn an extra 25% of your income this month. What is on your mind, what does that feel like? What are you going to do with this money?

 

Now simply just sit with your answers. This is simply just an awareness tool to see where your relationship with money is at. 

 

Here is a list of limiting beliefs that I have heard around money.

 Some I don’t resonate with but that doesn’t mean you won’t! 

• Money is the root of all evil
• EMPOWERING BELIEF- Money is a tool for good people so they can do more good.
• I don’t deserve to be rich or have money.
• EMPOWERING BELIEF- What does it hurt to have more money to do more good in the world.
• Rich people are so greedy or selfish.
• EMPOWERING BELIEF- If you think someone is doing that and you could do it better then it is your birthright to have abundance so you can do better for the world.
• I will never be able to make enough money. **This is caused by a victim attitude.
• EMPOWERING BELIEF- I will be able to have an abundance of money when I decide to do the work to bring that.
• Money is scarce and it is hard to come by.  You are going to block yourself from opportunities.
• EMPOWERING BELIEF When I am open , money is easy to come by.
• I can’t save money because I don’t earn enough.
• EMPOWERING BELIEF When I start becoming a good steward of my money, I earn more money and it is easier to save.
• Investing is risky and complicated, I don’t know anything about it so how could I start investing now?
• EMPOWERING BELIEF I could learn anything I desire to learn, I just have to do the work to educate myself.
• Money can’t buy happiness.
• EMPOWERING BELIEF Money is a tool that can increase happiness.
• Debt is a normal part of life .
• EMPOWERING BELIEF Although I have debt, getting out of debt is a part of my life now and I will make it fun and easy. 

We have to go deeper into the subconscious brain and see what thoughts and beliefs have been running our lives and keeping us stuck.

 

• I’ll start investing when________(ex when I earn more).
• EMPOWERING BELIEF The earlier I start, my money can start working for me.

 

Overcoming limiting beliefs is going to take a lot of education and introspection.

 

There are 3 types of people when it comes to money: 

The Hoarder- they see money as safety and so they over save it

The Overspender - they get money and spend it immediately

The Abundant person- is open to using their money, they are responsible, invest and save their money and most importantly they give to others. 

 

Let us know which limiting beliefs resonate most for you. 

I would love it if you would leave a review & share this with someone who needs to hear it!!

 

Use this affirmation daily:

Every day in every way, as long as I choose to start, I am getting better and better with money
