Fire Up Your Moxie with Debra Trappen

It’s time for another divine #FireUpYourMoxie Affirmation!

Read it out loud.

I am divinely equipped to conquer my challenges and my potential to succeed is infinite.

Now, repeat it!

Are you ready to conquer your challenges?

Can you fee your potential for success is INFINITE?

Are you ready to let it gooooooooooo?

My Darling Lioness, please choose to leave the past wrongs others have done against you on the table of forgiveness. Don’t be tempted to bring them with you into tomorrow! They will create a bitter attitude inside you that will not serve you, your purpose, or your people.

Let. It. Go.

Welcome to this week’s affirmation, my fierce friend.

This one is all about embracing who you are, stating what you believe, and supporting it with positive self-talk along the way!

So, repeat after me:

I embrace having a servant-leader heart, strong faith, and positive self-talk that supports and propels me into my greatness.

Now, ask yourself:

What do I want to accomplish this week?

What self-talk do I need to infuse to make it happen?

Write it out.

Put it on your mirror, in your closet, add it to your notes on your phone. Speak the words you’d share with your children or best friend INTO YOURSELF.

Enjoy the magical week ahead.

You are on your way to slaying fears and taming dragons, Lioness.

xxoo,

– Are you ready to make it happen?

Take some time to write out your thoughts and if you can add a bit of glitter on your lips – don’t miss the chance!

On today’s episode, I am chatting with a dear friend, fellow power woman, and the author of Crystalline Moments, Coni Meyers.

One of the changes I’m making this year is recording more of the beautiful conversations I have with the brilliant women in my life. This is the first of many you’ll find in the new Fire Up Your Moxie series.

Coni and I had a great conversation about choosing your word for the year, how our Core Values play into it, and how they help us see those a-ha moments or as Coni calls them “our crystalline moments” throughout the year!

Now, my dearest LIONESSES and those bold men who support us, pour yourselves a cup of tea or a glass of wine and get ready to join me in a feisty, fierce and fun conversation with Coni!

Today’s episode is entitled Empowering Your L.I.O.N.E.S.S. Pride and it is a piece of my heart and soul.  

I wrote this for a keynote I presented at the WomanUP!® Conference in June. You have heard and will continue to hear me talk about this magnificent MOVEMENT I’m blessed to be partnering on with Sara Sutachan (one of my divine Lionesses) – the VP of Industry Relations at C.A.R.!  

During this episode, you will hear how you can intentionally review, design, and empower YOUR ultimate circle – or as I like to call it – Your Lioness Pride.

There are also some truths on what to do when another woman doesn’t agree with you, isn’t in alignment with your values, or publicly gossips or humiliates others.

Put your seatbelt on for another moxie-filled message from me to you!

If you’ve been following this podcast long, you know my passion and purpose is empowering women. My mission is to encourage them to define their best life and then empower them to boldly and bravely, step into that life.

One thing that holds so many women back is the focus on and wreckage created when a woman doesn’t support another woman. I believe we need to overcome this before we can move confidently into our visions and voices… and I believe that starts with focusing on what matters, ditching the senseless hustle and waste of time of trying to get everyone on your side and living your life out loud and on purpose with your lioness pride.

We all know stories of women supporting one another.

We also all know stories of “that woman that didn’t support another woman”.

The problem is – the second set of stories is so much more provocative, that they tend to get all of the press and sadly, more of our mindspace.

Case in point.  I asked a powerful collection of women to share their stories with me.  

I received lots of short stories about women mentoring one another into their dream job or business, helping with young children having tantrums in public, late-night phone calls talking each other off the ledge, laughing and crying over wine, brushing each other’s hair when we are in the hospital, cooking meals and cleaning our homes when we couldn’t do it ourselves… when we need our friends – OUR PRIDE- they ARE there for US.  

1000%. ALL IN.

Now, even though I did not ask for them – I also received NUMEROUS long stories of women vs. women.  Stories of mentors being taken advantage of by their mentees, second wives horrible behavior against first wives, bosses not promoting them because they were jealous, women spreading lies about one another to get ahead at work, get a man at home, get-get-get.  The one common thread in EVERY SINGLE STORY was that the women who were in the “un-supporting role” were not women they knew well or at all, really. They were strangers or acquaintances. They were NOT part of their PRIDE.

It’s time for women to help raise each other up and stop feeding into toxic competition and comparison.

It’s time for us all to stop shaming each other when we don’t agree with another woman or support her agenda.

It’s time for us to take a more active role in our own prides – and calling each other out in our sacred spaces. Because THAT is where we can make a difference for ALL women.  

Why?

If we can collectively choose to thrive with each other even when we don’t share the same values or ethics we can truly be the change we seek. Ditching the gossip, shaming, and judgment, and embracing an inclusive, yet individualized sisterhood mantra is critical.  

Intentionally choosing our lioness pride is our responsibility so where do we start?  During the process of defining this – it became clear that in order to form a LIONESS pride – you must either know your own inner lioness or work on empowering her along the way.

So, let’s use the letters of LIONESS as a guide to describe the luscious layers of a lioness pride and how to identify and empower YOURS!

L: Leverage and complement your messages/mission

I: In alignment with your values.

O: Open to hearing the truth.

N: Network with Integrity (no gossip)

E: Empower and encourage you to be your bravest, best self.

S: Serve and strengthen each other.

S: Support you as you support them.

Listen here to hear more about each letter and layer!

My Dearests,

When you are part of the right PRIDE – you share a common vision and understanding of who you are, where you want to go, and the change you want to be.  

Not everyone in your pride will do things the same, but if you stay focused on the BIG VISION and mission – you will move mountains together.

Let’s all agree today to thrive together…

Let’s stop worrying about what everyone else is doing or who they are supporting and be the change we seek while having the times of our lives together! (Like these gals in the FRONT ROW!)

Ladies.

LIONESSES.

Never before have we had such an unfiltered opportunity to stand up, speak out, and create ripples of change as we do right now.

Let’s start here.

Let’s move forward from here.  

Let’s grow strong – from here.

Let’s ROAR TOGETHER – starting HERE!

xxoo,

For her entire career she has had a philosophy of “Real Estate by Relationship” and working primarily by referral. Working by referral allows her to take care of the people closest to her while relying on referrals to their friends, family, and associates. Recognized as a top producer, her true joy is in helping their clients reach their real estate goals, whether buying, selling or investing.

She has a passion for her industry and gives back by teaching and coaching other Realtors and is highly involved at the local and state levels. In her spare time you can find her at a dance event with her daughter or supporting her son in his professional baseball career.

Compassionate. Nurturing. Connector.

Always trying to improve the lives of others.

Being the voice of reason for many.

Always building others up!

Anything with my husband and kids, travel, time with girlfriends…

Oh my goodness….too many! Thinking I can do it all! Worrying too much about what others think. Trying to fix everyone’s problem and not realizing there are some I just can’t fix.

I would say it’s my ability to see what is going on with something or someone when others don’t notice. I can figure out when there are problems brewing or when someone is “off”, very good emotional intelligence!!!!!

Life balance, being a great mom, and business owner.

Real Estate….the relational way!

Get ready for a #WomanUP follow-up chat with Barbara about the process of opening her brokerage!

Don’t miss her final advice starting at 23:20.

On today’s episode, I am chatting with a dear friend, fellow power woman, and the co-founder of the WomanUP movement, Sara Sutachan.  We met on Facebook Live to have a conversation about the story behind the WomanUP Movement, what’s coming next, and how YOU can be part of it all!

A bit more on Sara:

In her passion to affect change in this arena, Sara is dedicated to the empowerment of women through research, professional development, events, mentoring, and creating a community of advocates and support.

Sara is also responsible for identifying, building, maintaining, and reaching out to California Brokers in order to gain insights and spot emerging trends in the industry. In this role, she helps the Association establish vision, identify new and emerging opportunities and relationships, and is responsible for implementing key strategic initiatives.

With a background in real estate finance and consumer research, she continues to provide significant input, analysis, economic theory and interpretation to housing market trends with specific emphasis on real estate finance.
