In this episode:

• Being honest with yourself about what your goals really are

• Calling yourself out when you’re playing small

• Applying the 24 hour rule to make progress on your goal

• Getting accountability & breaking down the steps you need

Buckle up girl, this one is SAUCY & I am SO excited that you’re here today because I think you’re really going to connect with this topic!

We’re talking about lying to ourselves, and in particular if you’re lying to yourself about what you really want.

This episode is for you if you’re maybe not throwing in the towel or giving up completely on your goals, but as you start going down that path of getting where you want to go, you catch yourself downgrading & then rationalizing the new dream that seems a little bit easier...

This is also for you if maybe you’re actually proactively giving yourself a copout because you’re not actually doing the work that’s required to get you where you want to go so that you have a built in excuse that if you don’t accomplish it, you can say it didn’t really matter to you. I warned you in the title, this is gonna be juicy & saucy but I think you will love it & of course, I can’t wait to hear what you really think so slide into those DMs or shout this one out on IG stories girl! 

Quotes:

“Is there a chance, that you’re purposely not trying your hardest so that you can say that you didn’t give it your all or that it didn’t really matter to you, if it doesn’t work out?”

“This goal matters to you. It’s still gonna hurt if you fail. But that’s life! & I don’t think the point is to get to the end of life & say, wow, look I’ve got no bruises... look at me I kinda showed up.”

“That I’m gonna feel proud of myself, I’m gonna feel like I earned it. I’m gonna know that if I showed up & I gave it my all, that I’m gonna feel really proud every single day that I put my head on my pillow. That’s what I want for you.”

“The best way to build confidence & fulfillment, it’s not actually other people validating you & your goals. It’s you keeping promises to yourself.” 

“You can’t lie to yourself, when deep down you know that you’re settling on a goal that doesn’t matter to you quite as much as the original goal that you downgraded from.”

In this episode:

• Taking inventory on whether you celebrate your effort or your accomplishments

• Aligning your to-do lists with things you can actually control

• Make note of the verbiage you are using in the questions you ask yourself

• Becoming more self-aware & choosing a growth mindset

I am always SO excited that you are here girl, because how COOL is it that we get to connect on a platform like this?!

I don’t know what you’re doing or where you’re at while listening to this but regardless, I am going to make this count for you & deliver some tangible juicy stuff that you can actually implement.

Let me first set the stage with this quote I recently read, “As much as talent counts, effort counts twice.”

&I really started to think about it and how it might be affecting the way we’re showing up in the world.

How you perceive that question, of whether talent or effort matters more is so important to think about because it is really going to affect how you’re showing up in your life & how much you’re enjoying the process of getting to your goals.

I want to breakdown this concept as a whole and then of course finish up with 2 tangible tips that I think will really be impactful for you!  

Quotes:

“People with a growth mindset, they have an underlying belief that their learning & their intelligence can grow with time & with experience.”

“You can do whatever you want as long as you’re willing to put the work in to keep getting better & falling a little bit more in love with the process than what the process could produce.”

“I believe that you do not arrive at confidence, it’s built daily like a muscle.”

“This concept of self-confirming bias is very powerful. It’s a very powerful part of if you’re going to feel happy & fulfilled in your life or not.”

In this episode:

• Breaking down the powerful chemicals released in your body when you exercise

• The science behind movement & its effect on your brain

• Transitioning from negativity into positivity in the short & long term

• Choosing to think about how stress can help you harness your strengths

Kelly McGonigal is an author, psychologist, and educator, who believes that it is possible to experience hope, joy, and meaning, even when things are difficult. She believes that science and stories are two of the best ways to inspire self-understanding, empathy for others, and connection with a broader sense of common humanity. Through all of her work, she shares her own awe about the human condition, whether that’s being amazed by how the brain functions or being elevated by our capacity to transform suffering into meaning. Kelly is a teacher at heart, and all of her books are based on classes she taught at Stanford University (The Willpower Instinct, The Upside of Stress & The Joy of Movement).

Kelly’s 2013 TED talk “How to Make Stress Your Friend,” which makes the case that social connection is both a natural instinct and a source of resilience in times of stress has had over 22 MILLION views! I am SO excited you are here for today’s episode with Kelly who is someone I so deeply admire & I’m sure you’re going to absolutely love her too! Be sure to shout out your takeaways & tag us on Instagram, can’t wait to hear what you think!!

Quotes:

“There is nothing like exercise in terms of its ability to change the function and the structure of your brain, to literally remodel your brain.”  

“It doesn’t only reduce anxiety & stress… it profoundly changes who you are and your capacity to enjoy being a social creature.” 

“We know that as soon as people begin to become more physically active… that because your heart rate is increasing, because you are energized, because you are breathing more deeply, because your muscles are being used, that the sense of self you have becomes almost immediately more confident & more optimistic.” 

“Studies suggest within about 6 weeks, you’re seeing a different brain.That you will now have a brain that not only enjoys exercise more, but enjoys life more.”

“Movement is such an incredible way to experience yourself as someone who can learn, grow & change in ways that are personally meaningful & often in ways that surprise you.”

• Building confidence where you’re at now

• Being honest & having trust in the process

I am so pumped you are here for a quick little pep talk like we are girlfriends chatting over coffee, & what I want to talk about today is how you do not get to skip the beginning stage ever!

It is so tough to be at the very beginning, but girl, navigating through this is gonna be so worth it!

I too, don’t get to skip the beginning & I’m coming to you with this just hours after crying to Seena and reminding myself of this exact thing on a regular basis as well!

I was having that feeling in my gut that this thing is going to be SO massive & I just want it to be at the point that I know it can be right NOW....

Maybe you can connect with this feeling of being someone with a big vision of where you’re going & you want it right now because you are so freaking excited, but that can also make you frustrated that you have to “wait” to get there?!

If so...I’m excited to chat with you today about WHY this stage is actually NECESSARY!! Can’t wait to hear what you think girl!   

Quotes:

“Even if you have experience, you still have a beginning for something brand new.”

“Get your head back in the game. Remind yourself that you were not given this dream or this vision for your life or this goal by accident. You’re gonna have to buckle up & keep on going.”

“Please, make sure that you are not letting yourself… choose to get frustrated & bogged down by how far you have to go to get where you wanna go.”

In this episode:

• Creating a longer-term vision for your life

• Identifying the habits & traits you want

• Setting & sticking to your true life standards 

• Allowing yourself to be out of balance on purpose

On the show today we have a woman that I deeply admire, Liz Hartke that I think you are REALLY going to love! 

Liz is a wife, a mom of 3 littles, she’s the host of the Scaling Up podcast & she has built two extremely impactful businesses.

One business is in network marketing, and one is a business where she helps impact driven entrepreneurs find creative ways to scale & monetize their brands while keeping their vision & the legacy they want to have in mind.

I wanted Liz to come on the show not only because I adore this woman, but she also has a very powerful way that she talks about vision, not just for entrepreneurs but for any woman that has a big dream for her life.

Often we’ve got this massive dream but struggle with how to actually get there, like what are the tangible things we need to do to get us from here where we are to where we want to go, can't wait to hear what you think!

Quotes:

“The only evidence that any of us need that something is possible for us, is that one other person did it.”

“You want to dominate 2020? Stop planning for 2020… because you’re gonna think five years ahead and then you’ll know exactly what to do this year to make sure you’re getting to that five year plan.”

“That vision isn’t just about the goals you set as the mile markers to get to it… it’s about the fact that who you are today is not the person that will achieve that vision.” 

“If you’re feeling in a rut, where are you going? Get pumped up about like the vision for your future, what you’re creating, get tangible with it.”

In this episode:

• Identifying the things in life or the world that frustrate you

• Honoring your gut feeling to understand what you want in life

• Tangible advice to begin figuring out what’s next for you

• Getting excited about what your learning along the way

Girl, I think you are REALLY going to vibe with this episode where I am sharing a personal story with you and a little piece of advice from my grandma.

Of course, you know I am always visualizing us sitting here chatting & today it’s over wine with a little more on the real talk bestie vibe happening.

Today I wanted to share with you a stage of my life that I know you will relate to because I hear from so many of the women in The Collective about having this feeling of like, “ugh I feel frustrated, I’m stuck.”

& it’s coming from two ways, one where they just don’t know what their “thing” is or two, they do know the what, but don’t know how they’re going to get there.

I had this feeling at a point in my life when everything on paper seemed right, but I got this gut feeling of wanting more & not feeling fulfilled. &then I got some epic advice from my grandma, and that’s what I want to share with you today because I really think it will help you too! 

Quotes:

“She suggested that I find things in the world that make me frustrated that I might wanna change & that would help with the direction part. So simple, but so powerful.”

“Is there something that bothers you in the world… something that maybe is maybe a problem that’s annoying to you that you could be excited about being part of the change in.”

“Maybe, you navigating this feeling is gonna help you get where you need to go.”

“I don’t believe that we have one thing in our life as constantly evolving people, but I do think that fixing problems… could help you feel more fulfilled in your life.”

In this episode:

• Focusing on controlling the controllables

• Believing that your dream is in you for a reason

• Understanding the concept of borrowing belief

• Remembering that you get to pick your problems

 I’m so excited you are here today because we are talking about navigating other peoples’ opinions, because so often THAT is the thing that holds us back from getting us where we want to go in our life, in our relationships & in our business!

I don’t want you to feel stuck so I’m giving you some tactical tools that will help you take purpose driven action to build a life that you love even when other people might naysay or make comments about what you’re doing in your life.

Personally, I do actually care what other people think about me, I just care what I think the most which has helped me navigate those comments that weren’t really the best ones that I wanted to hear & I’m excited to share these tips with YOU!!

Quotes:

“Do you actually want the life of the person naysaying you… I think it’s really powerful to just validate the source because I have yet to have someone naysaying me who’s living a life that I actually want to be living.” 

“Is this thought actually serving me to think all of these negative things about this other person… that’s not serving you. The byproduct of that is not going to make you happy & excited about your life.”

“This dream is in you for a reason & part of that reason is to show another woman out there what’s possible.”

In this Episode:

• Re-framing the “Life is happening TO ME mindset” 
• Looking at Setbacks/Curveballs as an Opportunity 
• Building confidence through resiliency 
• Thinking of who will benefit as a Bi-Product of you doing that thing on your heart 

I’m SO excited that you are here for this PEP TALK EPISODE inspired by a woman who’s in my Collective Community and said to me…

“UGH KAC, I just KNOW I can be doing better in all aspects of my life and in my business but I feel like every time I start making progress, I keep getting set backs in weird ways and then Im douting myself… I just don’t know why this is happening TO me”.

I know we have have probably both had that feeling before, but also the FIRST thing I pointed out to her... 

Those TINY LITTLE WORDS SHE SAID…“TO ME”.

That word is SO small but SO IMPORTANT. 

Because TRULY, you may have heard this before… but it's the most SIMPLE TWEAK IN YOUR MINDSET that can change the game on your WHOLE DAMN life, how you PERCEIVE yourself, your ABILITY, and the people in your life and WORLD AROUND YOU if you start to capture tiny little words like that! 

So today we are going to dive into this topic with a little more UMPH! Can't wait to hear what you think! 

Quotes:

"I believe to my CORE that HAPPY FULFILLED, Successful people doubt themselves all the time, &  they royally screw up on things and have major failures too…. the difference is…they just ask themselves better QUESTIONS”. 

“The difference between YOU and a woman you ADMIRE who is maybe CRUSHING GOALS and just freaking DOMINATING RIGHT NOW  is not how SMART she is  or how CAPABLE SHE IS…it’s just that she is not STAYING DOWN AS LONG. “ 

"What if you started to realized you are SUPPOSED to FAIL to LEARN an important lesson? What if all those experiences along the way we you are SO ANNOYED at the time are happening FOR YOU and are ACTUALLY supposed to prepare you so you can HANDLE what’s coming next?”

In this episode:

• Slowing down long enough to hear your intuition

• Listening to the rumble in your belly that you want more

• Staying grateful for the good while also honoring the desire for great

• Releasing the comparisons that are holding you back 

I’m so excited you are here today for this saucyepisode because I am comin' in hot with some real talk about giving up good & going for great.

If you are the woman right now who’s doing pretty good in life, nothing’s going horribly wrong, but you still feel this feeling that you want more, this episode is definitely for you.

There are so many of these “checklist items” (the degree, the job, the marriage, the house) that are celebrated in our society just for being good. But, if you are quiet for a second & just slow down to listen to your GUT, for some reason you’ve got that rumble deep in your belly that you want great in some or many aspects of your life.

So girl, why are you shoving that feeling down or wishing it away? It’s time to listen to that roar in your gut & go for great!

I can’t wait to hear what you think of this one girl!

Quotes:

“If deep down in your belly, you’ve got this rumble or roar for great & good is actually underwhelming you because you’ve got fire in your belly, you also have to honor that feeling.”

“It is one of the hardest places to be when everything is actually good. You’re not to the point where you’re so uncomfortable where your back is against the wall & you have to make a change.”

“Think about what you actually want. What could great look like in a particular area of your life?”

“I do not think it’s selfish if you want more. If you want to give up good, and go for great.”

In this Episode:

• Ditching the wish for things to be easier

• Doubt is normal when you are growing

• Ending the BS belief that “I’m not motivated”

• Thinking of future you when you want to quit

Girl I am so excited you are here today because we are making a PACT. Something I hear all the time, is wishing things were easier, or that you were more motivated to do the work....

& I’m just gonna be real with you here and remind you that EASY will rob you of PROUD.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never heard someone BRAG about everything being easy & being handed to them on a silver platter.

No, she doesn’t brag about how easy something was, she’s going to brag about the hard work because that’s going to make her feel proud. You are not always going to feel like it, pushing toward your goals, growing & evolving, it’s not always going to be happy little unicorns coming out of your butt, you know this!

So today we are making a pact on two things we are going to do together and I hope you are IN it with me! 

Quotes:

“We cannot rob ourselves of the opportunity to feel proud by wishing things were easier.”

“Can’t anxious mean that it matters to you? Can’t all of that BS doubting yourself mean that you’re on the right path & you’re growing? Can’t you view these feelings as an opportunity to learn & evolve and feel so damn proud of yourself later?”

“We’ve gotta stop using this sentence, ‘I’m not motivated’ as a BS excuse to avoid the work that’s actually required, because we know that we have to show up even on the days that we don’t feel like it if we wanna make progress.”

“Action, even small steps, tiny little steps in the right direction bring clarity & confidence. And that’s gonna help get you where you wanna go.”
