Flawed and Fearless

Being aware of what you feed your mind will transform your life. Not only being aware of what you are putting into it, but occasionally weeding out things, people, tasks, and more. Protect your mind and keep it in the game, regardless of what is going on around you!

“Whether you think you can or you think you can’t – you’re right.”

I’m excited to share today’s episode about how to simplify life. Sonia Bainum traded her city life for life in a 20 x 20 foot cabin on the farm. She had to simplify out of necessity, but also shares some advice on how to simply and prioritize what you value most no matter what your life looks like today.

Sonia reminds us, and herself, that happiness is choice that we get to make. Despite challenges of her new life, like seclusion, she enjoys the adventure and encourages us to make the most of each situation that we’re faced with – wait until you hear about her “spice girls”!

In today’s episode, Heather Lewis and I chat about how different our mindset can look if we support our competition instead of holding resentfulness towards them. She encourages herself and others to hold onto our positive energy and beware of “energy vampires”. Our mindset truly is the most powerful thing that we possess.

Heather is a mom of two boys, insurance agent in Lexington, KY, and VP of Women Empowering Business. She wasn’t expecting to be an insurance agent, and shares her insights of what to do if you aren’t doing what you expected or wanted to do at this point in time.

Laura Kirkpatrick is a model who grew up on a farm in Kentucky. Her modeling career took off after being on America’s Next Top Model, but modeling still came with its own set of challenges and mindset hurdles.

Laura recently founded Kentucky Darling meats with her Dad, and shares the winding journey and sacrifices of being a business owner.

Laura has learned how doing things to make others happy won't fulfill us in life. She has had to reprioritize her time since having her daughter and maintaining her overall health and well-being as a mother. She has been guilty of being her harshest critic, and now tries to speak and act more confidently in her career, business ventures, and daily life.

We’re kicking off the first episode of season three with Dr. Kallie Snyder. Kallie is a flutist and advocate for musicians’ well-being.

She is honest and open about her journey with anxiety over the past year and admits that it’s a work in progress. Letting go of control has been a game-changer to the anxiety and mindset shift. We discuss the idea of obsessive self-centric thinking and how it impacts our view of ourselves and the world around us.

With Kallie’s background in classical music, she points out the differences between performance anxiety (not just musicians, but anyone in front of the public eye) and generalized anxiety disorder. 

Whether you’ve ever felt some anxiety/nervousness that was performance based or general, or someone you know has, you’ll want to listen to our discussion in today’s episode!

In this episode, I wrap up season two by sharing four areas that affect our confidence levels and why it’s important to be aware of these areas.

The majority of women resonate with the statement, “I hate the way I look.” Do you tend to hide behind something or someone when you “hate the way you look” and your confidence is low?

Everyone has their “blah” days, but it’s how you push through and get back to your most authentic version of yourself when in those moments of self-doubt.

Lauren Blockland shares her experiences about how her journey includes walking confidently in her purpose after growing from negative lies that she previously heard in life. She believes that perspective is key and that most people probably don’t fully grasp what that means – we each have our own unique perspective.

Lauren has strived for an intentional reset after feeling burned out – as I’m sure most of us can relate. Taking time to step back will make the world of difference to not only your personal life but how much greater your impact will be to others when you are prioritizing your own well-being.
