In this episode:

• Borrowing belief when you need it

• Act like your future self now

• Putting in the reps

• Being willing to suck until you don’t

I am so excited you are here today for this topic because I feel like it is just so relevant.

Regardless of your stage of life, or tenure in your career path, if your an entrepreneur or not, we all have to constantly work on building belief in ourselves in order for us to do ANYTHING in life.

& honestly the more I think about it- I am more afraid of NOT TRYING than I am of failing, mainly because I KNOW I will fail but also because underneath that is the constant striving that I have towards building up my own belief muscle.

Today I wanted to dig into three main ways that you can start borrowing belief until you can BUILD your belief on your own. I hope you get some EPIC takeaways & I can’t wait to hear what you think!

“It’s gonna take you time, but what’s the freakin alternative? You’re not gonna give up on your dreams. Not You. Not this time.”

Quotes:

“I’m more afraid of not trying, and living a life of shoulda woulda couldas, than I am of FAILING.”

“We’re instead gonna ask questions like, how good can I get? How far can I go? How many people can I impact? How many minds can I blow, including my own?”

“Are you willing to suck until you don’t suck anymore?”

“It’s all about the confidence deposits that you put in your bucket along the way in pursuit of where you wanna go. It’s not about the end goal.”

In this episode:

• Identifying your fears & limiting beliefs

• Understanding your power

• Holding tight to your vision

• Strengthen your mindset through meditation

After experiencing the hardest year of her life in 2018, Kelly Callaghan began to see things in a different light.

There was a long period of time where she truly felt like she was broken beyond repair. Going from one of the most positive people to a person who battled with acknowledging her own self worth was undeniably heart wrenching.

Kelly could not understand how her life went from a such a "perfect" way into something so dark, uncontrollable + exhausting and she knew she had to do something.... and BOY DID SHE. 

Today’s episode is a POWERFUL one.

Kelly Callaghan is a serial entrepreneur, beauty business mentor, an international spray tan educator, has built multiple 6-figure businesses and is now the host of the podcast Wake Up to Level Up and hosting a live event to empower women to level up in their lives.

Kelly’s story of her “rebirth” as she calls it, is incredibly inspiring & I know there are so many of you out there who will resonate with her feelings of despair.

This girl has had some crazy curveballs but she has really leaned into the power of her mindset, and she’s got some really incredible tools she shares with us about stepping out of fear and into purpose.

“You are doing yourself, and anybody else that you’re supposed to be serving, a disservice by not accomplishing what you set yourself out to do.”  

PUMP-UP JAM:

• Me Too by Meghan Trainor

Quotes:

“We are conscious creators of our destiny and what is going on in our lives and we have to take ownership of that.”

“Once you make the decision to do something, you have to have that vision held tight and keep that goal in focus.”

“Anytime I’m feeling a negative feeling like fear, any low-vibe energy, it’s because I’m not being grateful.”

“By becoming self-aware and asking yourself those deep rooted questions, you will be able to find the confidence within to be able to swerve.”

In this episode:

• The words we use have SO much power

• ‘I am’ & ‘I am not’ statements

• Conditional vs situational

• Are your beliefs serving you?

In today’s episode we are talking about LANGUAGE & how the words that we use have so much power.

It’s so important to take the chance to pop the hood & get a different perspective from someone else on those things you may be saying to yourself, especially when we are talking about statements like “I am” or “I am not" right?

I for one am constantly questioning my own “I am” statements to basically see if I agree with what I am saying & if they’re serving me. & girl, if they are NOT serving you, it’s time to CHALLENGE them & ask more questions.

“What you believe that you are, you will act in accordance with. What you believe that you deserve, you will go get.”

Quotes:

“These things that we’re saying, as if they’re conditional statements like ‘I am’ or ‘I am not’ or ‘I’m not,’ those things can change with just a little bit of effort & a desire to change.”

“Sometimes we blatantly say that we are or are not something, & then sometimes it’s actually ingrained in us.”

“Sometimes, we have to remember that we don’t change things until they become extremely inconvenient or bring tremendous discomfort.”

“What are the ‘I am’ statements that you’re saying? Are they true? And more importantly, are they serving you?”

In this episode Patrice Washington (on Instagram @seekwisdompcw) gives us the RUNDOWN on: 

• Redefining WEALTH in today's culture 

• The difference between Wisdom vs Knowledge

• How we can leave BLAME behind

• & how NOTHING is permanent

Patrice Washington is an award-winning author, transformational speaker, hope-restoring coach, and media personality.

Patrice got her start as your favorite personal finance expert, “America’s Money Maven”, having tremendous success with her “mindset approach” to personal finance.

She has since expanded her brand and mission, encouraging women to chase purpose, not money.

Patrice is committed to redefining the term “wealth”, using its original meaning, “well-being”. She encourages women to have “wealth” in all aspects of their lives by pursuing their purpose, being fulfilled, and earning more without ever chasing money.

Through her teachings, Patrice empowers women to look at life through the lens of abundance and opportunity, instead of lack and scarcity. 

I so deeply admire & respect how Patrice is showing up in the world & the content and WISDOM that she shares with her community. 

Patrice is committed to redefining what wealth really means to our generation and her entire story is a roller-coaster of ups & downs.

In this episode we dig into why WISDOM is so important to seek over knowledge, how to redefine wealth & what it means, and some of the pillars for us to have this complete happy life we are excited about. She is all about mindset AND taking action, which I just KNOW you will all vibe with.

Can’t wait to hear what you think girl!

“Chase PURPOSE not MONEY.”

PUMP-UP JAM:

• All of My Life by Erica Campbell

Quotes:

“The difference is, knowledge is just getting information but wisdom is knowing how to apply the information that you have.”

“A part of seeking wisdom is getting wise counsel, and is being vulnerable enough to say I don’t know what I don’t know.”

“Encouragers need encouraging. Sometimes people who are very encouraging are the ones who get left off the list.”

“The frustration comes from wanting to know exactly how it’s gonna go and then that prevents you from taking the next best step.”

“Clutter is the physical manifestation of chaos in your mind.”

“A lot of the times the things that we’re fearful of are not even real, they are stories that we made up.”

How is it that I am adding MORE to my plate, but I am NOT feeling drained.... a question I've been asking myself lately.

• How feeling SHAME is normal

• Why Confidence is not inherent but BUILT

• Taking Radical Responsibility & dropping your masks

Andrea Owen is a mentor, life coach, author & the host of the Your Kickass Life Podcast.

In 2007 she hit rock bottom while going through a nasty divorce & jumping into a new relationship that ended 9 months later after finding out he had lied about having cancer to cover up his drug addiction.

She had isolated herself from nearly all of her friends, quit her job & moved out of her apartment to move in with him. She knew she needed a MASSIVE change. Even while in the worst circumstances of her life, she had a tiny bit of hope that led her to ask the universe for help. She decided to take radical responsibility for her life and KNEW she wasn’t destined to feel like shit.

& GIRL- I am SO excited for you to listen to this episode where we dive in to her work with Brene Brown & talk about shame, numbing, building confidence and of course her new book where she breaks down different habits that we are working through and how we need to get out of our own way.

Andrea is SO big on tangible, real talk advice but delivered in language like you’ve been best friends for years. I love her style & approach and I just know you will too!

“Sometimes we wake up with anxiety & its just unexplained. Sometimes we just feel grumpy. That’s ok, you can feel stuck sometimes and know that you will eventually not be there anymore.”

Quotes:

“Shame is just a normal human emotion & experience, you can’t get rid of it.”

“What at the end of your life are you gonna be proud of? What at the end of your life are you going to regret?”

“Your inner critic lives in your comfort zone.. It has one job, and that job is to keep you there.”

“You gain confidence by the success that you have on the other side, and sometimes that success is actually failing, but knowing that you lived through it.”

“Confidence is one of those things you get by doing. It’s not inherent.”

Why not you? Honestly girl, why NOT? 

Why not YOU to chase that big goal, or change career paths, or to accomplish that thing that’s in your gut that you want to do?

Today I wanted to dive into what might be getting in our way & keeping us from going after the things we want in life.

Cuz girl we both know, we often look for the reasons we can’t instead of looking for the reasons we can and for me, there are three main things I tend to blame my lack of action or ability that I want to dig into with you: time, external resources or lack of experience.

By changing the story you are telling yourself, you CAN accomplish anything. Can’t wait to hear what you think of this one girl!

“Each choice that we make, builds our moments, which builds our days, our weeks, our months, our years. Over time, that’s literally how we build our whole freakin life!”

Quotes:

“We look for the reasons that we can’t. But couldn’t we as easily look for the reasons that we can?”

“As we know, action brings clarity. And that clarity and consistent action brings so much confidence.”

“You’ve gotten through things you never thought you’d get through, yet here you are alive and kicking butt.”

“You were given this dream, & this life circumstance, & this struggle, to get through it, to show that it’s possible, and to be the representation of what is not yet being represented.”

“Everything that we’ve ever done, we had to do for the first time.”

In this episode:

• Having an abundance mindset

• Using competition to step up our game

• You can’t serve everyone alone

• Stop living in the space of scarcity

I believe to my core that there is enough in this world for ALL of us to be successful in life AND in business and that we as women, are BETTER together.

In today’s episode we are talking about living in an abundance mindset, but also why we actually do need competition as a whole because competition gives us a reason to step up our own game. Of course, because we are all about ACTION, I want to give you a couple of tangible things you can implement or tweak your mindset around to see competition as an awesome thing.

I am so excited you are here to listen today & I cannot WAIT to hear what you think!

“We always get a choice. We get a choice to acknowledge that competition is necessary for us to step up our game.”

Quotes:

“There is room for all of us to be successful as women, and together we’re better.”

“Wouldn’t you rather, just because it would feel better, be authentically happy for her rather than discrediting her success?”

“Are you so damn focused on her, that you’re not even getting to work on you and your goals?”

“We are the ones that need to believe in ourselves, we don’t need anyone else to believe in us.”

In this episode:

• The feeling of wanting more

• Not staying stuck in good

• Striving for what COULD be

• Embracing the GROWTH in the process

Today’s topic is one of my very favorite things to talk about. It is the concept of going from good to great, and I really think this will resonate with you.

Maybe you have thought about this before, or maybe this is a totally new concept to you, regardless I am SO excited to share it with you. I’ve been thinking about this in two main ways that it’s cause me a bit of discomfort & ended up holding me back.

First, comparing my good to someone else who is worse off so that I feel guilty for wanting more. And second, when I feel like wanting great or wanting more is selfish simply because I am so fortunate already.

I want to share with you how I have managed to constantly push myself to go from good to great, as well as how to check myself when I feel a bit complacent. Hope this helps you girl, and I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Quotes:

“Why not decide, that you have that gut feeling in you for a reason.”

“It’s hard for people to be what they can’t see.”

“Tip toe if you must. Start with one good thing and decide, nope. Throwing in the towel on good, I’m going for great. I’m pushing for great.”

“At the end of the day, ACTION brings CLARITY. Don’t wait to get motivated, put yourself in action. Give up good & go for great.”

In this episode:

• A chat about how there’s nothing "wrong" with feeling lost

• How to disregard or re-bale your fear

• Creating a sense of self-belief

• Listening to your gut

Maxie McCoy is a writer and speaker obsessed with giving women the tools they need to believe in themselves.

Committed to the global rise of women, she writes weekly inspiration on maxiemccoy.com.

She is the author of, "You’re Not Lost: An Inspired Action Plan for Finding Your Own Way".

Today’s guest is about to blow you away with this topic.

I found Maxie because I was searching for books on Audible about feeling lost, or feeling stuck, or feeling imposter syndrome, because of something I was personally experiencing and questions that I get from so many of you.

Her book, "You’re Not Lost" is so impactful because we so often create these stories of why we can’t take action, & we get so caught up in our 5-20 year plans, forgetting that the little things we do along the way are going to be the things that get us where we want to be, and Maxie does an amazing job of breaking this down.

I can’t wait for you to hear from her & see what you think! Be sure to TAG us both in your IG stories if you vibe with it! 

“Figure out what energizes you. The things that bring you more joy, more energy, more excitement than not. It does not have to be an end-all-be-all career goal. And ask yourself what’s the absolute smallest thing I can do about this thing that lights me up, and then let it be small and just go do it.” -Maxie McCoy

Quotes:

“If you are feeling lost right now, its okay. Its OKAY… the feelings of being lost are actually a really powerful place of presence to be in.”

“If you’re doing something for the first time, which all of us at any height of success have done something for the first time, you don’t know what you’re doing.”

“What is today giving you that just rocks, and how can you love that?”

“If you don’t know where you’re going & you don’t know what to do next, just look at what you’ve done. And somewhere in that is the data of what the next step should be.”

“That’s the difference between successful people & non-successful people, are the ones that consistently show up and consistently do something that they haven’t done in the face of the unknown, versus someone who just talks about it & thinks about it.”
