Into The Wild

Don't let that negative voice bring you down anymore.

Your inner critic is the voice that says you won't make it, you're not good enough, and you're not deserving of success. So many of us battle with this voice for years, especially when we branch out to do something new.

Let's face it: As female entrepreneurs, our biggest obstacle is not competitors. It's also not the market. It's ourselves. After having dealt with this myself for many years, I've come up with a framework that's helped me not only deal with this voice, but silence it.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• The amazing accomplishments that your inner critic could be holding you back from.
• How societal expectations and culture influence our inner critic.
• How some people use high standards as a scapegoat to fail.
• What happens when we listen to our inner critic, and why you shouldn't.
• How to create your own proof portfolio and why it helps.
• Examples of times I've transformed the narrative (and you can too).
• One question to ask yourself to instill greater confidence.
• How to use the 24-hour rule to make better decisions.
• What to do this week to take the first steps in silencing your inner critic.

Let's turn negative thoughts into positive outcomes.

You may not know this, but I could have written an encyclopedia on rumination and negative thinking. In the past, I've let these thoughts sink deep into my soul and impact me in ways that weren't helpful. Thankfully, I've grown since then, and recognized the human tendency towards negative bias.

In this episode, I'm sharing how you can get out of your own way and avoid getting in your own head and through a simple energy shift. If you're faced with something extremely difficult or even traumatizing, these tips will help you come out on the other side.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• The ways I've experienced negative thinking outcomes in my own life.
• How our brains are wired for negative bias and what that means for us.
• What the comparison trap is and how it can affect your life.
• The different ways women stand in their own way in business.
• Why "just thinking positively" doesn't actually work.
• Our negative thought triggers and why we need to identify them.
• How you can create more space in your brain for the good stuff.
• The one question you can ask yourself to reframe any situation.
• How to do an energy allocation audit and why it helps.

Are you parenting the way you really want to?

My husband, Dan Martell, is back on the podcast today as a guest. In this episode, we're going back to the early days of parenthood and sharing what it was like having two babies in one year. From dealing with postpartum depression to conflicting expectations, it wasn't always an easy journey. Now, reflecting onto those days feels more like looking at great memories and stories to share.

Our approach to parenting isn't for everybody, but we're choosing to raise our kids in a way that makes sense for our family. For us, that means teaching them what's important, world schooling them, and allowing them to achieve what they want—not what we want for them.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• How Dan felt having two young kids so close together in age.
• Dan's favorite age for our kids and what his fondest memories are.
• What I thought the rules of parenting were (and why I might have been wrong).
• Dan's best piece of parenting advice.
• Why it's important to let kids lose, plus the teaching moments that come with it.
• Why we've decided to world school our kids next year and what that looks like.
• Why we want our kids to pursue their own ideas of success.
• Who we look to for parenting advice (and who we don't).

What if I told you the loudest voice isn't always the most powerful one?

Sometimes, it's the quietest voices that actually make the biggest impact—and when those people speak, everybody listens.

Whether you're an introvert or an extrovert, you can tap into this power and bolster your quiet confidence.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• What quiet power is, and what it's not.
• How tapping into your quiet power helps you make better connections.
• Why you don't have to be shy to own your quiet power.
