Ep 67 - Flying High: Exploring Bravery in Life and Football Inside the Kelce Documentary

Hey everyone!  We're diving into the awesome story of NFL star Jason Kelce, as seen in the 2022 Kelce Documentary on Amazon Prime. We kick things off with some lyrics from Guy Clark's "The Cape" – a song that's all about taking life as a big, bold leap of faith. This tune really hit home, especially in this one part of the documentary where Kelce walks onto an empty football field, making us think about all the big jumps we take in life.

We chat about Kelce's journey, from his early dreams to his grind as a walk-on at Cincinnati, and how he made it to the NFL, even as a sixth-round pick. The guy has had a 13-year rollercoaster ride with the Philadelphia Eagles, complete with surgeries and tough times, showing just how tough and passionate he is about football. Then, there's this crazy twist where he and his brother, Travis, end up facing off in the Super Bowl finals – talk about family drama!

Next up, we talk about Kelce's life outside football. He's been wrestling with the idea of hanging up his cleats and what comes next. He's trying out stuff like cattle farming, podcasting, and real estate, looking for that next big thing. We also get into his personal life, like how tight he is with his brother Travis and how his family's been there for him every step of the way.

Throughout our chat, we highlight some cool quotes from Kelce that really stuck with us. He talks about the importance of believing in yourself, pushing through discomfort, and staying true to who you are. These nuggets of wisdom help us explore themes like bravery, resilience, and facing the unknown.

The documentary is not just for football fans – it's for anyone looking for a bit of motivation in life. We encourage you to believe in yourself, be who you are, and take those big leaps. Just like Jason Kelce, with the right attitude, you can really soar. Remember, embracing your journey, no matter how tough, always makes you brave. So go out there and fly high!

The Cape by Guy Clark

Eight years old with a floursack cape

Tied all around his neck

He climbed up on the garage

Figurin' what the heck

He screwed his courage up so tight

The whole thing came unwound

He got a runnin' start and bless his heart

He headed for the ground

He's one of those who knows that life

Is just a leap of faith

Spread your arms and hold your breath

Always trust your cape

All grown up with a floursack cape

Tied around his dreams

He was full of spit and vinegar

He was bustin' at the seams

He licked his finger and he checked the wind

It was gonna be do or die

He wasn't scared of nothin' boys

And he was pretty sure he could fly

He's one of those who knows that life

Is just a leap of faith

Spread your arms and hold your breath

Always trust your cape

Old and grey with a floursack cape

Tied all around his head

He's still jumpin' off the garage

Will be till he's dead

All these years the people said

He's actin' like a kid

He did not know he could not fly

So he did

He's one of those who knows that life

Is just a leap of faith

Spread your arms and hold your breath

Always trust your cape

Overcoming Overthinking, Wandering, and Overstriving: The Path to Bravery in Business and Life

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of our podcast where we dive deep into understanding three types of people we often encounter in our personal and professional lives - and honestly, these could be us too.

1. The Overthinker: We discuss the "Overthinker" who has clarity on what they want but hesitates to take action. We've all been there, right? Researching endlessly and then getting paralyzed by decision-making. We talk about how to combat this tendency by breaking tasks into micro-actions, challenging negative thoughts, and setting timers or due dates for decisions.

2. The Wanderer: Then, we move on to the "Wanderer" - those who have many great ideas but struggle to complete them due to self-doubt or distraction. Our solutions? Focusing on one thing at a time, reconnecting with the 'why' behind each idea, and setting clear goals and milestones.

3. The Overstriver: Lastly, we touch upon the "Overstriver" - the relentless go-getters who find it hard to take breaks and often equate their self-worth with their productivity. We suggest taking intentional breaks, celebrating the journey, and setting boundaries for work and personal time.

Throughout the episode, we emphasize the importance of self-awareness and recognizing patterns as the first step in building the life and business you desire. We encourage you to download our free quiz to find out where you fall among these types.

Personal Reflections: We share our own experiences with these tendencies. Melissa admits to being a mix of an overthinker and overstriver in different aspects of her life, while Julie sees herself more as an overthinker in projects.

Our Takeaway: We want to remind y’all that despite the doubts and challenges, it's the brave steps forward that make the most compelling stories. We encourage you to come out of your huddle, get into the game of life, and remember that brave looks good on you!

Embracing Change: Raw & Unfiltered Insights from Lifelong Friends

 Hey y'all!  We're thrilled to kick off 2024 with a fresh approach to our podcast. Today's episode is all about embracing the new: new year, new us, and definitely new content!

We've noticed that our listeners enjoy the raw, real moments - the bloopers and behind-the-scenes glimpses. So, we're leaning into that with our 'shorty' episodes, focusing on a range of topics from everyday bravery in business to inspiring moments in movies or TV shows.

This year is all about laughter, alongside useful insights for all the business owners out there. We're tweaking our format to give us more time to focus on building our business, creating digital courses, and working on exciting new projects.

In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane, sharing fun facts like how our podcast is played in five countries (though we're not sure which ones yet!). We also dive into our initial fears and challenges with podcasting - remember those cringey, scripted early days?

Then we shift to discussing our journey as lifelong friends, despite not having met until we were young moms. Our friendship has stood the test of time and distance, and now, with the help of technology, we're closer than ever, collaborating and keeping each other accountable.

We also get personal, sharing updates about our families. Can you believe Julie’s youngest is about to graduate college and get married? And Melissa talks about her family dynamics and wedding plans.

We wrap up by touching on the importance of having someone in your life who complements your strengths and weaknesses, especially in business. And of course, we can't forget our beloved pets - Julie's Pickles and Melissa’s two dogs, Remy and Briggs.

As a little teaser for our next episode, we're planning to break down the Kelce documentary. We've got a lot of thoughts and funny takes on it, so stay tuned!

Remember, as you go about your week, brave looks good on you!

Empowering Women to Embrace Their Greatness with Lyndsay Hume: Discovering Purpose and Overcoming Self-Doubt

Hey y'all! In this episode, we had the pleasure of chatting with Lyndsay Hume, an amazing writer and certified empowerment coach. Lyndsay has an incredible journey, transitioning from a trained therapist to a coach dedicated to helping women achieve their dreams and live lives they love with ease. We first crossed paths with Lyndsay at a live event in San Antonio, and her energy and insights immediately captivated us.

Lyndsay shared her unique approach to coaching, focusing on the idea that every woman already possesses the greatness within herself. She believes that our purpose is a gift and that we are inherently equipped to achieve it. This perspective was truly enlightening, as it challenges the common narratives of self-doubt and the societal conditioning that often holds women back.

A significant part of our discussion revolved around the concept of desire and its role in discovering and fulfilling our life's purpose. Lyndsay emphasized the importance of acknowledging and nurturing our desires, as they are indicative of what we are truly meant to do. This insight was paired with practical strategies to overcome the self-doubt and fear that often accompany the pursuit of our goals.

One of the most impactful parts of the conversation was Lyndsay's take on dealing with negative emotions. She advised us to view emotions as mere vibrations in the body, not as indicators of truth. By understanding and accepting our feelings, we can neutralize their impact and continue to move forward towards our goals.

Lyndsay also gave us a sneak peek into her upcoming book. It promises to be a compact yet powerful guide filled with life coaching insights and strategies, aimed at helping people lead more intentional and fulfilling lives. We are eagerly anticipating its release!

For those wanting to connect with Lyndsay and learn more about her work, she's most active on Instagram at @lyndsay_lifecoach. You can also join her email list for regular insights and updates by contacting her directly at [email protected].

Transforming Health Through Joyful Nourishment: Lia Huber's Journey to Real Food and Mindful Eating

We had the pleasure of hosting Lia Huber, the visionary founder and CEO of The Nourish Evolution. Our conversation with Lia was nothing short of inspiring, as she shared her transformative journey from battling health issues and struggling with her relationship with food to becoming a leader in promoting a life enriched through real food. Lia's background is impressive; she's not only the driving force behind The Nourish Evolution but also an accomplished writer featured in several prestigious publications and media outlets.

Lia opened up about her personal struggles, including her fight with weight, a lupus diagnosis, and a harrowing cancer scare, all of which fundamentally changed her approach to nutrition and joy in eating. Her story is a testament to the power of redefining one's relationship with food, emphasizing not just the nutritional aspect but also the joy and connection found in meals. This approach is vividly captured in her memoir, "Nourished," where she delves into her journey of food, faith, and enduring love.

Throughout the episode, Lia provided practical cooking advice and insights into her cooking philosophy. She stressed the importance of loving vegetables, cooking efficiently, and striking a balance between the joy of cooking and the necessity for quick, nourishing meals. Additionally, she highlighted her various courses and resources designed to assist others in their journey to better health through real food. These include a real food reset program, a home cooking school, and her innovative online meal planning program, 'Cook the Seasons'.

One of the most compelling aspects of our discussion was Lia's emphasis on the role of mindset in eating. She advocates for a positive narrative around food, explaining how it profoundly impacts our eating habits and overall health. Her message is clear: real food, consumed joyfully and mindfully, is not only sustainable but transformative.

Lia's journey and insights offer valuable lessons for anyone looking to improve their relationship with food and, by extension, their overall well-being. We encourage our listeners to explore Lia's resources and consider how adopting a new approach to eating can lead to a more fulfilled and healthier life.
