This week we deep dive into boundaries, when to set them and with who! I absolutely love this topic because it is truly the first step I took towards living my authentic life!

As mentioned in this episode, I love the book "Making Space: How to Live Happier by Setting Boundaries That Work for You" by Jayne Hardy. I have linked it here to buy from Barnes and Noble, but I do always encourage you to support a locally owned book store!

This week I decided to share with you just a few of the books that have truly shifted my life. When I say they shifted my life, I mean I connected with the words in them so much so, that I actually made conscious changes in the way I work, parent, speak, feel, and behave. These books have truly impacted me in my journey of authenticity.

Below are the books I talk about in this episode. I encourage you to go to your locally owned book store if you want to get a copy for yourself, but since I can't link to every privately owned bookstore, I will provide links to Barnes & Noble!

The first book I talk about is Untamed by Glennon Doyle. I have literally quoted this book to my children. Glennon's ability to speak to the woman I used to be while also speaking to the woman I am, and strive to be, is nothing short of miraculous. She shares deeply personal stories that have given me a better understanding of some of the things I have endured, and somehow also given me permission to be better. To fight harder for my right, and my kids' right to be authentic... whatever they decide that means. This book is a must have for anyone who wants to understand their feeling, feel seen, or just needs to connect with something.

The next book is White Fragility by Robin Diangelo. This book literally shifted my understanding of racism, and opened my eyes to the role I have played as a white woman in our racist society. This book provided me with the understanding that I need to make many, many changes in my life in order to actively choose to live an anti-racist life, and ways to fight against racism in tangible ways. I encourage anyone who is white, or anyone at all, to read this book.

During this conversation, I also talked about a great book I read with my kids to teach them to recognize and stand up against racism when they see it. This book is called How To Be An Antiracist Family by Martin Sekkat.

The next book I talk about is for all my entrepreneurs out there. The One Thing by Gary Keller with Jay Papasan is just so amazing. This book helped me recover from being a multi-tasker and opened my eyes to what it means to be focused, and organized. I have also quoted this book to my children during parenting conversations.

Lastly, I talked about the book Get Out Of Your Own Way by Dave Hollis. Anybody who knows me knows I follow Dave Hollis consistently and have really learned so much from him. But, before he entered the personal growth world, I had never heard from him. This book is written as a self help book from the skeptics point of view. Despite the fact that I am not a skeptic, I appreciated his honesty in sharing his struggles, and what really helped him to create powerful, necessary change.

On this episode of Owning Your Authenticity, we dive into what it means to truly take care of your ENTIRE self. From understanding the different parts of yourself, to methods you can use to engage in each different type of self care. This idea was first brought to my attention by listening to the RISE Together podcast with Dave Hollis, and I connected with it so much I decided to expand it into an entire podcast episode!

During this episode I mentioned a "floating table" of sorts, and have found one as an example that I have linked here below. I do not personally own one of these tables, but am fascinated by the design and craftsmanship. (This is not an ad.) SEE IT HERE!

I also mention ways to engage in Mental Self Care during this episode like services such as BetterHelp.com so I have linked that here for you as well. (This is also not an ad.) https://www.betterhelp.com

On this week's episode of Owning Your Authenticity, I break down what it means to set your intentions for an action or day. I talk about the differences an intention can have on your experiences, and shift your mindset to embracing your journeys and not just your achievements. I provide you with a basic formula to set your own intentions, and challenge you to do so!

This week on Owning Your Authenticity we dive in to the idea of Risk vs. Reward when it comes to those tough decision making moments. We bring to light the differences between a Risk Mindset and a Reward Mindset, which ultimately gives us a powerful tool for personal growth. 

I also challenge all of our listeners to a personal understanding exercise to help you get to know yourself a little bit more, and move towards living your most authentic life!

In this episode of the Owning Your Authenticity podcast, we talk about what to do when our leaders fail us. What happens when your mentor/inspiration/coach, messes up in a big public way. I have created an acronym with 4 steps you can take to understand how you're feeling, address the situation, and positively move forward towards you authentic self.

In this episode I referenced the amazing book "The One Thing" by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. You can find that book here: https://www.amazon.com/ONE-Thing-Surprisingly-Extraordinary-Results/dp/1885167776/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+one+thing+book&qid=1618462594&sr=8-1

We've all been there, where someone comes in with the best of intentions wanting to "help" you, and they way they help doesn't actually provide you any support or relief in your current situation. This is a common mistake when people try to help they way THEY would want to be helped, instead of the way you NEED to be helped.

This episode breaks down how this common mistake so easily happens, and what we can do to avoid it so that we can most authentically show up and serve the people in our lives.

Often times when we are doing the work to dive into our most authentic selves, it can be filled with fear. In this episode we go into what that fear really is, and how we can address it and move past it. The fear itself is a selfish emotion, and it's main goal is to keep you in your comfort zone, preventing you from striving for more and achieving that next level you.

If you are thinking about making a change in your life, and you're afraid to do it for any number of reasons, listen to this episode. I made it just for you!

This is our pilot episode of Owning Your Authenticity with Dianna Terry. In this episode we dive into what it means to own your authenticity. We break down those words to really understand the truth of authenticity, and how to take ownership for yourself. Dianna also lays out her two biggest fears with putting this podcast out into the world, and one big goals that she has set for herself with this podcast.

Dianna couldn't remember which quote about failure it was, but here it is! “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” - Thomas Edison
