How many times have you looked your upcoming week schedule and pre-decided ‘omg I am going to be so overwhelmed that day”.. or when you are going through a 12 hour shift and somebody asks what they can do to help and you just say ‘idk I am just so overwhelmed’.

You've pre programmed yourself in to this 'overwhelm feeling' without actually looking at what is happening around you! 

Was there a previous version of you that said “I can’t wait.." Or a dreamer in you that said  “what if..” and now it’s HAPPENING. You are LIVING that dream. 

Which is why we are REFRAMING overwhelm in todays episode!

Have you created the unshakeable belief in your abilities, the value you bring to the world and your unique talents? If not, YET, this episode is for you!

Sometimes you might find yourself in situations where somebody else tries to make you question your own worth. But I am here to remind you that one persons opinion/perception of you doesn’t DEFINE you. When you start to doubt your abilities either personally or professionally I want you to do the 3 things we talk about in todays episode! 

 I wanted to leave you with a quote I read in my book this morning..  "Yesterday I was clever so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise so I am changing myself" -Rumi. YOU are the most important work that you will ever do.

You probably are here on this episode because there has been a time or maybe you are navigating it in real time.. a moment where you wanted to give up

Where life felt really heavy or hard
You doubted your abilities
You told yourself it would probably never work out anyways 

I was going back and reading my journal from my trip to Egypt because there I was learning to kite surf and it was one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports I have ever tried.

My heart racing. Heaviness in my chest. Overwhelm. Fear of being whisked out in the to the deep blue seas. Bumps and bruises covering most parts of my body. I was a beginner for the first time in a long time, but I never gave up. 

SO my question for you.. what would happen if YOU didn’t give up? What kind of person could you become? What lessons would you learn? What could you accomplish?

How many times have you told yourself jokingly “that’s it I am SO TIRED, exhausted, burnout, I just need to crawl in a hole and sleep for at least 6 weeks”

Or you get off a rough stretch of shifts, rightfully exhausted, you go to bed the minute you walk in the door, you sleep for 12+ hours, then you lay in bed for the whole day and then it’s time for your next shift and you still feel worn out, run down, exhausted and you think to yourself wait… I STILL feel so tired even after sleeping for that long will I ever have energy again?

*insert dramatic sigh* for both of those because today we are uncovering the difference between RESTING and RECHARGING and I have a feeling you might be missing out on the recharge part ;)

Let me know how you are going to redefine rest and recharge in your day by tagging me over on IG @michaela_robertson with your takeaways from this episode!

Since I have been rumbling back and forth with the feelings and emotions that come up around the question of ‘am I really qualified for this so I want to share this with you..

Certifications, accolades and recognition don’t always directly correlate to ‘how qualified you really are’ sure they build your knowledge and put more resources in your toolbox but they are not the end all be all when it comes to ’successful vs not’ 

Todays episode is a quick checklist for you to run through if you find yourself in a situation of asking yourself ‘am I really qualified for this?’

Your superpower is being YOU— your experience(s) speak more than another degree or extra letters behind your name

This weeks guest is somebody who I have watched fearlessly pivot and step in to her true calling.  Laura Wiley is the founder of The More Than Collective, a new mama, and nurse turned leadership mentor for everyday leaders who desire to create massive impact in the world right where they are. She has supported hundreds of women reclaim their power and put themselves first to live & lead confidently in their own unique way without sacrificing what matters most in their lives. With an emphasis on cultivating unmatched confidence, self trust, intuitive decision making & community building, she helps women become the self led leaders they know they're meant to be so they can lead a life & legacy they are proud of. She believes that when women have access to an unconditionally supportive community and have an unwavering belief & trust in themselves, they can change the world.

In todays episode we talk about building trust within yourself, how to navigate the fear that comes with making a decision that makes absolute 0 sense on paper and how we need to work together to radically shift the future of women in leadership that will impact generations to come.

In todays episode I give you 3 areas to self-assess when it comes to knowing how far your bandwith can stretch before it actually breaks.

Over committing for you might look like.. never being able to say to overtime, always saying yes to social events, feeling sluggish and low energy on your days off, being irritable towards people in your life, feeling annoyed when you see an event pop on your calendar.

This came up for me the other day when I felt annoyed towards a patient I had scheduled for a home visit when I didn't really want to.. I was angry and irritable towards them because I made the CHOICE to spread myself too thing so it made me ask myself -- who else is negatively being affected by my over committing?

& I realized I don't want to be remembered as the person who over commits and under delivers. Who sometimes shows up. Is sometimes happy. 

How do YOU want to be remember? What is the impact YOU want to have on the energy of a room?

It's important to know YOU are in control of your energy and time and by over committing, not only are you forgetting about yourself but the people around you are

Diana is the author of the NEW book Stop Talking About the Weather which focuses on creating and having more meaningful conversations and connecting deeper-- YES PLEASE. I absolutely LOVED our conversation and I am so excited to get my hands on her book. 

Do you ever meet somebody for the first time and find it so evident that they are living in their purpose just by their tone of voice?

Diana saw a gap when it came to people (including herself) having meaningful conversations. The dinners filled with buzz and dings, Friendsgivings turning in to the same thing each year. In this episode we talk about the favorites part of her book, how she made the transition from teacher to entrepreneur and ultimately how DEEPEN the relationships in your life.

Simple, short but powerful message coming to you from nature today. On the days when you 'don't want to', know that it's okay. But if you only live from a place of doing-- things for others, checking things off your to do list, you will feel incredibly disconnected from your body. Out of tune with your emotions. Simply going through the motions like I found myself doing when I woke up today. The connection and trust built from within yourself-- gets shared outwardly. & you're worth that connection my friend.

These weeks guest is former pediatric ED nurse who had 'it all together' on paper in terms of being an eager new grad nurse ready to dive in by landing her dream job but she just couldn't shake that feeling of knowing she wanted MORE for herself, for her health, for the people she takes care of. 

After her physical health was at the absolute worst (sound familiar, nurse friend?) she knew something had to change. She went down the path of CURIOSITY and ALIGNMENT to now land the career she has to help her elevate her nursing practice to align more with who she truly is as a healer, and what she knows healthcare desperately needs.
