This past week I feel like everything I have listened you, watched, or read has talked about alignment and I felt this tug on my heart to chat about it. Backstory, I was planning on making an episode about alignment and why it is important in general, then I had my 1:1 call with Kacia Fitzgerald in the podcast mastermind, and I am even more pumped to talk about it because I am doing a huge transition right NOW with this podcast to make it more aligned, so I’m going through this in REAL time...and this podcast is about figuring things out together!

For a second I want you to think of a moment when you have felt a little confused or lost about the direction you were going with in something. Did it make you feel confident, or did it make you second guess everything..? When those thoughts creep in is your first instinct to just give up what you are doing, or do you flip the direction you are going in so that it is more aligned? I was asking myself these questions only 8 episodes into this podcast. Now don’t get me wrong, I was enjoying it but I was feeling lost about the direction I wanted it to go. I was feeling lost with content, I wasn’t sure what I could do to make it more fun, and self doubt was punching me in the face! Then enter my 1:1 that helped open my eyes and granted me the permission, that I could have given myself but was too scared to do so, to make BIG changes to this podcast! 

Now I am a handful of episodes in and am changing things up because I have a better picture of where I want this to go.. because putting in the reps and doing the action creates clarity… I put in the reps and now I have more clarity than I did on episode 1. I’m flipping it all around and revamping things…. Which leads me into the new name of the podcast of LET'S FLIP THE SWITCH!!!!!!!!!

With this transition, I literally had to flip the switch and not let my anxiety or the stories that I was telling myself win! So Let’s Flip the Switch is going to be all about rewriting the stories that we tell ourselves, navigating anxiety and mental health, starting scared, and staying with it even when we feel like giving up! I’m so excited for this new direction and for all the amazing people I am going to have on this podcast to talk about these topics with you! In the last year or so I have had to personally flip the switch with all the topics that I just listed!

Starting scared means just going for it even if you don’t have all the answers figured out yet. I’ve had to flip the switch with navigating anxiety and being open about my struggle, because no one should go through it alone. Flipping the stories you tell yourself and re-writing them is so important because that gives you the power to find out how even the suckiest of situations can still serve you. And lastly, learning how to pivot and stay with something even when you feel like giving up is important because life isn’t always easy, but you have the power to take inventory and make changes. 

I'm so excited for this new direction and am SO pumped to go through all this together!
