Episode 45: Five Reasons Why You're Feeling Overwhelmed & How to Overcome Them with Sabrina Greer

Sabrina is the founder and CEO of YGTMama. She is a mom of three boys, host of You've Got This, Mama the Podcast, a 5x bestselling author and a Clarity Coach. She has helped hundreds of struggling womxn, rediscover their identity and purpose outside of motherhood.

In this episode, Sabrina shares with us five strategies to overcome the feeling of overwhelm: 1. Multitasking - As entrepreneurs, we wear a million hats so the way to combat this is to do one thing at a time before bouncing to the next. Always give your 100%, one task at a time. 2. Lack of time management - Use time-blocking: intentionally plan out your task so you don't fall into a rabbit-hole of distractions and achieve every task efficiently. 3. Isolation - Ask for help and support where you need it, don't take on a lot of additional weight as much as you can. 4. Scarcity - Living in the space of scarcity is believing that you lack certain resources - time, money, energy. Instead, become more mindful of how you use these limited resources. 5. Comparison - This is the main thief of your energy, stay in your own lane and don't compare other people's best, filtered moments to your real ones.

Episode 44: Overcome Limiting Beliefs by Reconnecting with your True Self with Ichko Batmunkh

Ichko Batmunkh is the founder of Batmunhk Coaching that specializes in soul healing. She is also a IPEC Certified Professional Coach & Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner.

Ichko helps women reconnect with their true selves and create the best relationship with themselves FIRST, so that they can accomplish their goals and dreams.

In this episode, Ichko shares with us four key takeaways about overcoming victim mentality and self-sabotage:

1. Find the roots - Realize that limiting beliefs are mostly stories your mind made up for you to protect you from things outside your comfort zone.

2. Forgive yourself - Recognize who you truly are and accept the "limiting" factors your mind made you believe. Are they real limits or is it you judging yourself too harshly?

3. Rewrite your narrative - Whatever it is that's holding you back, find another perspective and let it inspire you (i.e. someone else in the same situation who found success).

4. Take action - Envision your higher self and take small steps everyday that attracts you towards your greatest potentials.

5. Be grateful - Most importantly, the most simple and impactful habit you can do for yourself is appreciate the little things you have daily.

Sometimes we know what we want, but need a little help finding our way there. This is what our episode today is all about.

Chris Swail helps busy, ambitious women who feel overwhelmed or frustrated, prioritize themselves without guilt and go after their goals, with less stress and more success. Her programs help people create real and lasting change so they can live their best lives.

Today, Chris shares takeaways about starting small habits towards success: 1. Get the chaos out - Take a weekly brain dump, write down all the thing you need to do for the week and write it down on a piece of paper to sort out your tasks. 2. Calendar blocking - Schedule everything into your calendar and figure out which ones you can drop, delegated, or rescheduled. 3. Be okay with saying no - If it's not a "hell, yes" it's a "hell, no." If it's icky or uncomfortable, try saying no - especially to things that hinder you to reach your goals. 4. Incorporate self-care - This is something we easily brush aside so learn to schedule it into your calendar and treat it as an appointment to meet your higher yourself.

Episode 38: How to Create a Successful Music Business with Rebecca Lane

Rebecca Lane is the director, founder, and owner of Upper Beaches Music School. She teaches at the school on Saturdays, but most days you can find her chasing after her three young children, one of whom is in the Suzuki violin program at UBMS.

She shares three takeaways about leveraging socials for a truly harmonious business: 1. It's all about experience - Music school is a service directed towards adding value to parenting and child education, so make sure you communicate and provide that point to your clients. 2. Be visible - It's important to be present on social media and set your eyes on email marketing. Let more people know about your brand and make sure to give them consistent and valuable online content. 3. Understand the value of art - Lowering the pricepoint of our artistic sevices is not the greatest answer to making it accessible long-term. Invest in what you do and the right people will follow suit.
