I'm switching it up on you today - no interview with another superhero woman.ย This time, it is me.ย
You have heard tidbits of my story over the past year and a half, but this is my real, raw, and vulnerable story.
And it was harder to write and speak into existence than I thought it would be. ย
In fact, it was really really hard.
But the thing about growth is that it exists on the OTHER side of the really hard things.
So this is me.ย All of me. ย
I hope that some piece of this story resonates with you.

What does "perfect" mean to you?
Chances are it means something different to you - than it does to me.
Today, we talk about what it means to be "perfect," how the sticky floor of striving for perfection is keeping us stuff, and how and why we must redefine perfectionism for ourselves.
In this episode I give you the tools you need to think differently about perfection, and how you can use them to be remarkably you.

Have you ever found yourself saying โI canโt believe this is my life?โย โI canโt believe this is happening to me?โย โThis isnโt how it is supposed to be.โ
Karen Allen is just like so many other amazing women on this podcast with her sticky floor story.
She is a supermom - that is just figuring it out as she goes.
She is a keynote speaker (that still experiences butterflies before taking the stage)
A Healthy eater who loves pizza and greasy burgers
And a super organized person - who can never seem to find her airpods.
She is 100% HUMAN.
She is also a recovering perfectionist and a woman who tragically became a widow and single parent at the age of 29.
Today she is going to talk about moving through grief, putting herself out there, and her process of believing and building in order to become. She also talks about the power of your mindset, the science behind positive thinking, how to practice gratitude (even when all hope seems lost), and the complexities of emotion - but most importantly she talks about the power of choice.

"What other people say about you is none of your business."
Do you find yourself having to REMIND yourself of that?
If you are a recovering people pleaser, or maybe still struggling with it, you might be impacted by the negative words and OTHERS' limiting beliefs.
What they say about you reflects what they think about themselves.
The next time someone tries to make you feel small, remember that it is because THEY feel small.ย They have insecurities. ย
You do not need to worry about them or allow their limiting beliefs (and STICKY FLOORS) to become yours.ย SHINE ON.
