In this episode, I share a quote by author Dr. Allison Cook, who says in her book The Best of You, "Your identity isn't fixed. It's a process of bringing out the best of you." This started me on a path of digging into a fixed vs. growth mindset. I get very transparent today about some false labels I have been wearing for far too long. It is an emotional one but I felt the need to peel back the curtain to show some deep work I am tackling in this season.

I always want to be real with you. Just know there is some talk of trauma and ED. Opt out if that is a trigger for you!

Many of us have yearned for change, to step out of old habits and break away from false narratives. We have longed for freedom in a variety of areas of our lives. And yet, we have encountered resistance. Our "want to" is not connected to our "willing to".

Today, we tackle our willingness, and we work towards aligning our "want to" with our "willing to" so we can live a better story. Jump in and take a listen. Then message me on socials, letting me know your thoughts.

Welcome back to a Real Talk episode! Today I ask us to do two things on our journey to becoming the star of our own lives:

1) Look for clues

2) Follow the breadcrumbs

Listen in for some candid conversation where I get vulnerable about not listening to my own intuition and what it taught me.

Today I want to talk about lasting transformation. Transitions can lead to transformation if we are focused and intentional with the choices we make in this one beautiful life of ours. I hope to make the case that true transformation creates shifts in our identity. It's these shifts over time that allow us to reclaim or step into our true identity. 

Because you know I always share some strategies for doing our work, I share two ways to help us create lasting transformation in our lives. There are just two, Lovie, so I know we can do it! Take a listen and let me know your thoughts.

Today we are going to talk about a shared experience we all have if we are humans living on this planet. Transition. Just the word for some can spark stress. If I talk about being in a season of transition, do you feel butterflies of anxiety start to flutter in your gut? Change can be hard. I know some who absolutely detest the idea of change. And yet if we are going to live out our true purpose and walk with that main character energy every day, we have to acknowledge transitions are as much a part of that as breathing.

If you have tuned in since the beginning of season three, you will know I am dedicated to curating a life where I am the main character on a grand adventure. I want to share any tips and tricks I have learned along the way so that you, too, can join me on this journey home to our truest selves. I firmly believe we can learn to accept change and make transitions with ease. Even more, I know we deserve to live with the confident ease of sparkly outfitted trapeze artists flying high and far.

Raise your hand if you have fallen for the excellent marketing skills behind some type of self-care. Gracious knows I have. A couple of decades working in the fashion industry would make it impossible not to fall for them. I am sure you could tick off a long list of things the world considers as acts of self-care. Top of mind for me would be nail appointments, salon dates, and spa treatments. And you can always count on the "treat yourself" mentality that is out there. But what if self-care for you felt different than how the world presents it?

In today's episode we are going to strip away the shoulds of self-care and take a new path...one where we choose what cares for our soul best. And I promise you don't need the Kardashian's bank account to give it a go!

It is time to turn it up!

In this episode, we learn how to turn up the volume on our intuition so we can learn what we need and want out of life and how we can get it. We need to crank up the volume of that still small voice inside to find the truth we have always held within us. And we need to find it, Lovie, so we can learn to trust ourselves again. This patriarchal world has pushed a false narrative that women are not trustworthy. Sadly we had no choice but to believe it because it was the only message we heard. Now it is time to listen to our inner voice so we can own our truth, so we can know who we are and what we want from our one beautiful life.  

Lovie, we are trustworthy. We can handle all the world hands us. We can rely on our intuition to guide us home. And we are victorious when we do it by honoring the voice inside us that says, "This is the way. Walk in it."

This is a real talk episode where I share some musing and offer up an idea I had to get some feedback from you. I truly want your thoughts. Please use the social media links below to tell me your thoughts on my idea of Wish List Wednesday.  

I know this is a rambling bit of chit-chat. I understand you might not like it. And also, you might fully relate to the descent into madness ;) Either way, I have shipped this episode and would love to know your thoughts.

In today's episode, we are focusing on a common stumbling block many of us face on the path to our next level by dispelling the myth of "behind".

Raise your hand if you have ever heard yourself lament that you were behind. Perhaps you feel like you aren't moving as fast as you should be through your day. You are "behind" because you have failed to tick off as many tasks as you had hoped. Toxic productivity is at play here. Maybe you are looking at your dreams, and it feels like you are miles from where you hoped to be. You long to give birth to this beautiful idea and yet nothing is happening. You are "behind" because you have failed to make the progress needed. Worse, maybe you are playing the comparison game, and end up berating yourself for being "behind" others you see in similar fields. Maybe you are looking at other women you think have it all together, and you are left feeling "behind" in every area. Maybe you are looking around and noticing your friends have the partners, kids, jobs, houses, cars, and adventures you expected to have by now leaving you feeling "behind" in life. Lovie, may I gently and lovingly point out that these are all judgments we impose on ourselves. And, as always, with judgment comes shame.

It is time for us to debunk this myth and put an end to the false narrative that we are "behind".

Last week I set the table for a conversation about what becoming the main character of your life looks like. I gave some background for why I am taking on this challenge in my next season. Honestly, I want this for more than just my next season. I want it for every day I take a breath on this earth. I shared some thoughts on how we - both suddenly and slowly - find ourselves in a place where our dreams have died on the altar of others expectations. I asked you to simply open your mind to dream of what life could look like if you said yes to living out your dreams. And then I ended the episode because I had already said so many words...If you haven't listened to part one of Becoming the Main Character of Your Story, please hit pause on this one and go back to episode 72. The foundation for where I am taking us in this episode is set there. Then come back to this episode for the nuts and bolts on how to begin making this shift in your life.  

Now I know I left you hanging on for the steps we can take to own our story, so I hope you are buckled up and ready to drive even further down this road by learning how to become the main character in your life. Let's get going...
