Boss Goddess

The episode I want to share with you today is actually an interview I did with the Future of Work podcast, which is another one I also produce. And I think this will resonate with you because many of you are artists that have your own creative business or are THINKING of having your own creative business or something similar and I share my journey of how I got started and turned my passions into an entrepreneurial journey as well as some of the hurdles along the way. 

So if you’re asking yourself questions right now like, “how do I take the leap or how do I shift my creativity into something more” then this one’s for you.

There are many stages to our journeys and acceptance and realization that things like fear and imposter syndrome can creep into any of them is eye-opening and also very healing. Today we remind you that whatever is coming up for you is normal. You are okay, keep going. We're rooting for you. 

We are on the topic of Imposter Syndrome and this conversation with Gregory Locklear is one of the most candid, honest and authentic featured thus far on Be Bold Begin. I brought my lapel mics and field recording device to visit Greg in his new Hollywood home so we could talk casually and comfortably which we very much did.

We relate over old café conversations about how we would build our dreams, the difficulties of living in Los Angeles, our shared lives in the hospitality industry and of course more specifically Imposter Syndrome. 

Gregory's background includes:

• Producer of an award winning indie documentary called Corman’s World: Exploits of A Hollywood Rebel
•  Script coordinator on TV Series like I Love Dick, Transparent, Happy!, and Project Blue Book.
• Director’s Assistant on Marco Polo.
•  Script Coordinator on the Netflix series On Fate: the winx Saga Season 1
• And now staff writer of Season 2 of Fate: the Winx Saga.

Today I want to remind you that you are enough and you have immense power inside you. And when we pause and invite the stillness we also quietly invite the parts of ourselves to collaborate in unison and in peace. Let's revisit this guided meditation together and it's message.

Join Me.

We often don't have time or feel comfortable just "being'. It has loads of connotations attached to it like being "lazy" or not being productive and therefore not being of worth or value.

But the truth is we find ourselves in those spaces and crevasses when we sit still and just "be". It often helps when someone else can gently hold that space for you, like this guided meditation.

Use it as a tool to find a few minutes of quiet and stillness...and maybe a little more peace than usual.

Here is one of my favorite episodes that I’d like to feature again as a reminder to be kind to the most important person in your life…YOU!

The way we talk to ourselves can determine how we feel about a lot of things. First and foremost, it reveals what we really think about ourselves.

The first time it was introduced to me to take notice of the self-talk that ran through my mind non-stop was a suggestion that was super revealing. Not only did it feel weird to begin doing it at first but the words that were on repeat in my mind and then also often out loud was ...shockingly negative.

We all have things that come easy to us that are difficult for others. And often those are the things we value the least. BECAUSE they’re easy. We don’t think about how we do them, it just happens, it just comes out of us, almost like magic.....but see, that is what magic is. The stuff that feels amazing while we also get to grow and elevate our lives with it and the lives of others.

Those are our super-powers!!! We just need to believe in them as much as others do. But that’s not always easy, it’s hard to even notice them sometimes. So that is where the awareness becomes a really key part of this process.

Enjoy this fun exercise to "Unearth Your Superpowers" & share your new superhero name and powers by DM'ing me!!

And we're going to do it 5 easy steps!

"Imagine if you were born with a disability. A disability that despite many painful surgeries, still left your right side shorter than your left and your right hand unable to make a fist. Can you picture what school or a simple trip to the mall would be like, needing to stop and rest more that anyone else your age?

Keah Brown, 28 year-old best-selling author, advocate and public speaker, was born with cerebral palsy in Western, New York State. And although Keah’s mother did her best to shield her daughter from the petty cruelties of her peers, eventually one of Keah’s classmates made fun of her at school, bringing a spotlight to her differences. An act which changed the way she saw herself forever." 

That excerpt was written and originally read by Laura Cathcart-Robbins and is taken from the introduction to one of my favorite episodes of a podcast that Laura hosts called THE ONLY ONE IN THE ROOM, which I had a hand in helping create and continue to serve as the executive producer. The full episode is number 26 and is called “Keah Brown Is The Only "Pretty One" Speaking Out Against Ableism”.

The reason I’m sharing this with you is because I had the privilege to have a deep and candid talk with Keah Brown and the incite and depth that Keah shares is so beautiful and her focus of listening to each other to create change is powerful in its simplicity. She helps us understand that the most powerful thing you can do for yourself and for the world, is to believe in yourself and spend time becoming aware of your abilities. It then becomes that much easier to see those things in each other.

I don’t know about you but as I get deeper into the new year the work I’m doing starts to feel a little heavier and things can start to pile up. If this is you and you’re feeling like there is just a LOT to do and the everyday task list is starting to feel like “the everyday” meaning it’s a little less inspiring lately...then I have 3 quick tips to re-focus that energy BACK into being intentional and feeling accomplished by the end of the day.

Yesterday marks the one-year anniversary of Covid-19 officially hitting the U.S and the first shut-downs taking place. So in honor of this strange experience that we all embarked on together across the globe, I have a guided meditation for Overwhelm. 

About this episode:

The inclination can often be to get to work and get things done when often we need to stop for a second and shift that energy of overwhelm by addressing it and doing some self-care. 

Meditation is a great tool to not only relax and get grounded but to re-focus, be intentional and open up to connecting with ourself and our intuition.
