Authenticity is a superpower!

Jess takes us through her year-long project that she calls "The Year of Confidence!" She shares how being stuck in Barbados during the pandemic without access to anything she was familiar with actually led her to start her business helping other women speak their truth and live a truly aligned life.

Through her own self-discover journey with The Year of Confidence, she was able to find her confident self and how to show up in the world authentically.

Our conversation is such a powerful reminder that we need to remember to celebrate the crap out of ourselves, even for, and especially for the little things - confidence looks good on you friend, wear it proudly!

In this episode we are going to explore the concept of SUCCESS and how it is constantly evolving. I share my personal experience of redefining success in my own life and encourage YOU to reflect on your own definitions of success. We talk about the role of ego and emotions in decision-making and share some practical tips for making aligned choices. Tune in to gain insights on embracing your journey and finding fulfillment on your OWN terms.

Key Points:

• Success is not a fixed destination but a constantly moving target.
• It is important to define success on your own terms and not compare yourself to others.
• Ego and emotions can cloud decision-making, so it's crucial to pause, reflect, and make choices from an aligned state.
• Success is not solely about achievements or external validation, but also about personal growth and fulfillment.
• Take time to uncover what success means to you in this season of your life and embrace the journey towards it.

As always, I am ROOTING for you!

You can attract absolutely whatever it is you want in life... Do you believe that?

The key is to equip ourselves with the tools to shift negative thoughts and doubts. Of course, we will encounter bumps, moments of self-doubt, and people who may doubt us along the way. However, it is crucial to change the narrative and energetically become a magnet for what we want in life! 

When we vibrate at a level of certainty and confidence, we can attract whatever it is that we desire. Sometimes you might find yourself questioning why we are deserving of the life we imagine. Believe in yourself my friend - you are more capable than you think. 

So many people are afraid to ask for what they need. I've certainly been there, questioning whether I am asking for too much or if I was enough for the opportunities I desired. These feelings of scarcity and doubt can often creep in and paralyze us. But we're changing the script. We deserve to be unapologetic in our pursuits! 

When we let go of fear and scarcity and surrender to the flow of life, we create space for incredible opportunities and personal growth. This is what I want for you my friend, you deserve it, now go out and make it happen!

00:00:53 Manifest what you want unapologetically.
00:10:28 Embrace challenges for personal growth.
00:14:51 Call your shot with confidence.

Creating consistency and new habits doesn't always require extreme measures. Many people have the mindset of going all in or not showing up at all, but doesn't that feel overwhelming and unsustainable?!

When I work with clients who want to establish new habits we start with understanding why the goal is important to them and I encourage starting with the end in mind. By visualizing the desired feelings or achievements at the end of the day or week, you can set more realistic and achievable goals.

This concept of "lowering the threshold to win" has made a huge difference in how I view my own success. When we lower the threshold we build consistency and momentum with smaller actions. From there we can celebrate small victories and that feeling of accomplishment can be highly motivating and encourage you to continue!

Every win matters my friend, and every moment of showing up for yourself is significant. By starting small and gradually building up your successes, you can establish positive habits that are sustainable and lead to long-term growth.

00:01:23 Lower the threshold to win.
00:05:08 Lower goals to increase success.
00:14:57 Lower the bar to win.

We are talking ALL about the importance of boundaries and how they can be a source of empowerment. From the pressure individuals feel to meet societal expectations and the self-inflicted expectations that often stem from feelings of shame and inadequacy. 

We unpack how boundaries are not just about keeping others out, but also about preserving what is important and necessary for YOURSELF. With an emphasis on the need for self-awareness and self-responsibility in setting boundaries while encouraging YOU, the listener to check in with yourself and understand your own needs.

Boundaries with a capital B because YES they are that important!

In a profession like nursing, there is a tendency to prioritize others. Today I'm chatting with Courtney, a nurse working at an endoscopy outpatient surgical unit, all about the importance of self-awareness and understanding your values and priorities when making decisions!

Courtney shares how her platform, Rekindled Nurse, was founded on the idea of empowering nurses to prioritize self-care and self-awareness in their careers. Nurses can often fall into a cycle of autopilot where they clock in, clock out, and repeat the same routine without reflecting on their strengths and weaknesses. She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and doing the work to discover what those strengths and weaknesses are, both in your personal and professional life.

Prioritizing your own happiness and health is not always easy but I promise you, it's always worth it!

00:00:00 Importance of supporting nurses.
00:05:53 Takeaway: Seek mentorship for burnout.
00:09:45 Prioritize values for nursing success.
00:14:23 Prioritize self-care and values.
00:19:15 Creating support for nurses.
00:25:28 Lean into your strengths.
00:29:02 Your nursing career, your choice.
00:37:31 You are not alone.
00:38:57 Encouraging nurses to learn more.
