People really never, ever believe I am an introvert.

I am always classified a RED, a DRIVER a DOER.

A person who feeds off attention and wants to be around people all the time.

Truly that could not be further from the truth.

At my core I love to be alone with space to think and create.

Striving to “be the best” and “get to the top” has never been who I am.

I have created incredible businesses that all have to do with people, yes, but it is the type of people that really matters.

I have stood on stages in front of 15,000 to deliver key note speeches, will grab the mic and speak with a passion that shakes the room, and then retreat to whatever quiet space I can find to hermit up!

Most people drain me.

Too much going on makes me crazy.

Slow mornings with myself and my thoughts are pure luxury.

Wandering the streets and observing life is like living in a movie for me.

When I tell people I am not this whatever it takes girl, they never believe me.

Ever.

Is it because I have strutted around the fitness stages wearing hardly anything that makes them think I NEED attention?

Is it because I have become the top of all the companies I have ever partnered with?

Is it because I have a podcast, a book and a robust social media world?

Is it because I can enter a room and feel grounded in who I am with no need to “fit it”

Who knows.

The truth is, all of my success and my visibility is because my personal mission is stronger than my desire to stay quiet.

I speak up to create awareness.

I share my life lessons to be of service to others.

I am a story teller.

I am an agent of change. I own that mission from my soul.

That comes with being seen.

My groundedness comes from all the work I have done within myself.

I am a situational extrovert.

When I care deeply about something I will take up space and be BOLD.

The balance is required in my life. I have also learned that people can think whatever they want to.

That’s the freedom of knowing you. Others opinions don’t matter.

It’s also why putting labels on ourselves or others is such a telling thing around what we feel about ourself.

Here is what I know as my truth, heading into turning 56.

I am.

and that is f’king epic.
