It's All BS

When you put something out there - whether your life, your clothes, your personality, whatever – you are telling a story to the people around you about who you are. And your "story" may be different depending on where you are and what you're doing. You are a narrator for that particular moment or day. 

In today’s episode of It’s All BS, we discuss what it means to be the narrator of your own life.

We talk about:
🔹 Being cognizant of the impression you are leaving
🔹 How you get to choose what you put out each day
🔹 Staying in your own lane
🔹 Discovering your “in between”

It’s easy to get lost in keeping up, but we really should be true to ourselves. 💕

Last week we talked about what it’s like to actually listen and what you could learn from really listening. I’m back this week to give you some things to think about as you strengthen this skill.

This world was not built for people with disabilities in mind. And even when people are trying to have different representations of minority groups, disabled persons are often overlooked.

That doesn’t mean that the world should drop everything to accommodate me or others with disabilities, however there are things that do come up that people often do not consider.

In this episode of It’s All BS we’re diving into ableism and what I'd like you to know about it.

We’ll talk about:
🔹 The lesser known “-ism”
🔹 Preferences VS accommodations
🔹 Mind management
🔹 Becoming aware of microaggressions

It’s important to have a logical discussion as we become even more conscientious about other people’s experiences in life. I associate with people who are trying to make the world better, and I know that’s you too. So let’s give it some thought. 💕

A couple of weeks ago I had an incredibly embarrassing and frustrating thing happen to me. As you may know, I have a foot that is fused in the walking position. When I go down stairs, it requires precise balance and placement of my foot to navigate that. 

On this particular evening, I was leaving a writers’ night in downtown Nashville, and I did not properly place my foot while going down the stairs, causing me to tumble down the steps and hit my head on the concrete. The ambulance came, and I went to the hospital. It was a whole big thing. I’m fine now, but here’s the problem... I tried to explain the situation, but everyone had already decided the truth of who I am and what had happened. Nothing I said made any difference.

I don’t like this story, but I’m telling you because I think it’s important that we discuss it. So often many of us are told things that are not true, and we’re expected to believe things because everyone else says they are true. But in today’s episode of It’s All BS, I want you to consider, what could you learn if you just listened?

We talk about: 
🔹 How just because we have a preconceived notion about someone or something, it doesn’t mean we’re right
🔹 How we can tend to ignore our own work because of the “truths” others say about us
🔹 How you can decide when you want to keep fighting for something and when you want to give yourself a mental rest
🔹 Recognizing when we do this to each other

Always consider all the options, listen quietly when people are trying to tell you something, and then make your decision. Never make a decision until you have all the facts. And whatever you do, Beautifuls, practice your listening skills. 💕

Things get hard. Life gets complicated. But just because things are hard, it doesn’t mean you quit.

In today’s episode of It’s All BS, I’m sharing a personal journey and experience where things felt very hard for me. Anger over my mom’s battle with cancer and her death started to impact my ability to write songs and threatened my writing deal. But even through all that, I knew I was not quitting.

In this episode we talk about:
🔹 What happens when things feel hard
🔹 Deciding not to quit
🔹 The transition that can happen on the other side of “hard”

Whatever it is that you’re doing, whenever it gets hard, whenever you’re not even sure what you’re supposed to do… remember, Beautifuls, just because things feel hard, that doesn’t mean it’s time to quit.

This time of year, there is a lot of talk about goals, but I think the word “goal” seems so far out there. You have to attain a goal, so it kind of leaves an emptiness between now and the goal.

I like to think about things more like mile markers, like when you’re driving down the freeway. You know where you’re going, but there are markers all along the way dividing up your trip. You know you can make it from here to there, because there are small steps with tangible markers. And all those things around you, all those markers, they are also cues that let you know where you are.

In today’s episode of It’s All BS, I want to talk to you about creating “markers” for yourself and why clearing your desk matters for success.

We talk about:
🔹 What a standstill marker is
🔹 How to create a visual cue to what’s going on in your brain
🔹 How this visual evidence can help you recognize when things are out of balance
🔹 Why it’s important to be conscious of the environments we put ourselves in

Your environment and your mind will work together. They are both on your side, but they are looking for leadership. Lead them. Lead your brain, and lead your environment. Everyone is on the same team, but you’re the coach.

I’ve been thinking about my childhood lately. Looking back there are a couple of things that I did when I was little, and it’s funny how those things have come back around recently.

In today’s episode of It’s All BS, I’m sharing three of my favorite childhood stories and the lessons I learned then that are relevant today.

We talk about:
🔹 Why you should always be the person you want to see in the world
🔹 How even the best stories fall apart
🔹 Why you shouldn’t assume you know what anyone else is thinking and take action on that
🔹 How I was living up to my initials 😉

Being self-aware matters in life and in business. I’m here to tell you, I’ll make the mistake for you. And if I’ve made the mistake, there is no reason you should do it too. I’ve got your back. 💕

Hello Beautifuls! Happy 2023! 🎉

I’ve been thinking about things that I’ve noticed throughout the year. It is so unfortunate that we have to talk about our wins in terms of numbers and monetary gains. I am all about claiming financial wins, whether it’s five dollars or five hundred thousand dollars. But I think that with my clients, the wins are about things that are much more farther reaching in terms of changing someone’s life.

In today’s episode of It’s All BS, we’re talking about client wins which aren’t about money and the things that don’t get as publicly celebrated.

We discuss:
🔹 Celebrating big wins that are specific to you
🔹 How there is so much that goes on behind the scenes
🔹 Moving forward one step at a time
🔹 Why it’s about the mindset not the money

Most people are drawn to huge numbers and financial gains, but just remember that there is a person behind every number or result.

Welcome to It’s All BS. You may want to pull up a chair for this one, because I’m about to share some truth with you. We are done with people coming and sharing their unsolicited opinions and trying to make us feel bad about what we are doing.

So today I’m sharing my 3 Step Process to Handle Unsolicited Advice. As we go into the new year, it’s important to keep this information in mind.

In this episode we talk about:
🔹 Why someone’s opinion is just their opinion
🔹 How you get to decide what you do
🔹 Why you should keep your opinions to yourself unless someone asks you for it
🔹 What to do if someone gives you unsolicited advice
🔹 Why you get to leave your personal mark on this planet

Whatever you are choosing and doing in your life, creatively or business wise, however that works out for you, I want you to remember that it’s yours. Its ok to fall down. It’s ok to be successful. You can swim upstream. It may feel difficult, but you can hang out there. You get to go be you and do the best you can. And if you’re confronted with unsolicited advice, feel free to use my complaint department. 😏
