In today's Team Meeting episode we have another great interview.

Have you every been afraid to be your full self at work, in a relationship or with family and friends? I have and it's a horrible feeling of loneliness.

Today we talk about how to get comfortable taking up space.  When we say "take up space" we mean be yourself, go into a room and don't question if you're worthy of being there. Apply for a job and don't be afraid you're not smart enough. Go on a date and don't worry about not being interesting enough. Take. Up. Space. This is all a part of being yourself. 

I'm talking to my friend Rafat Fields, who is a Purpose Cultivator (I love that term). She helps women align their purpose for profit. We met in a Mastermind group and she has helped me to define my audience for the work that I'm doing now. She can help you too. You can reach out to her here 

Another message from this episode is that you must learn to be kind to yourself. It is an act of bravery to accept and unconditionally love who you are. It is also a journey to learn how to practice kindness for yourself.

A book we reference in today's session is The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay Hendrick. I highly recommend it. I'm listening to the audio version now.  The concept of operating in your zone of genius fascinates me and is something I aim to do.

I also referenced the ebook I wrote that's on amazon. If you want to hear my story about my journey to love myself through hip replacement surgery. Check it out here.

Let's start the meeting.
