It's All BS

I’m sure you see this as much as I do... 

Someone posts on social media. Then everyone starts swooping in and turns that post it into whatever it is that they think it means. Meanwhile the original poster says they didn’t mean for their post to offend anyone and starts trying to defend themselves.  Blah, blah, blah.  😴

So, I’m just going to say this because it needs to be said. Stop arguing on social media. Just don’t do it. 

In this episode we’ll talk about:

🔹 Why you should check your language and make sure that it says what you want it to say

🔹 How your words affect your impact

🔹 How your mindset is affected by the words you use

🔹 How to make sure that you are protecting your power

It is paramount that we value respectful dialogue and genuine interest in other perspectives, but it doesn’t always happen. Check your language before you say what you need to say, then don’t argue on social media. It just isn’t worth it.

I wanted to talk to you today about something that I’m so passionate about. Sometimes you have a vision, and you KNOW it’s something that you are called to do. But you just can’t seem to get it done. It’s NOT because you’re stupid or incapable of doing it on your own! But you just don’t know what you don’t know. 

So today I’m sharing some insight into why you should hire a coach. 

In this episode, we discuss: 

 🔹 What a business coach is (and what it is not)

🔹 How a coach can help you take your vision to the next level

🔹 Why a fresh perspective is so helpful and important

🔹 Why the accountability that a coach provides is so valuable

Where you are today, is a result of what you have done up until now to prepare for today. And what you do today will prepare you for tomorrow. If you have a vision and can’t quite execute it, then this episode is for you!

Today I wanted to talk about something that does feel a little complicated. There have been so many conversations about it, and I wanted to share my story and experience. 

I am giving some insight into what it was like for me in terms of growing up as a fundamentalist Christian and then becoming an entrepreneur where I charge money for the sum of my abilities.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

🔹 How fundamentalism affected me as a child 

🔹 Why my fundamentalist upbringing has come into play in every aspect of my entrepreneurism

🔹 How many of the beliefs I grew up with shaped my feelings around money, visibility, and success

🔹 Why my ideas around God have changed over the years

🔹 Why you should fill up YOUR space with all your talents and abilities

It is incumbent upon each of us to fill up our unique spaces, to allow ourselves to receive payment for our unique abilities, and to be good stewards of our abundance. Remember, no one else can do what I do, and no one else can do what you do. 

If this episode resonates with you, or if you found it interesting, I’d love to hear. You’re welcome to comment or send me a DM if you prefer.  I am available for respectful discussion.

There is a topic that has been coming up so much with my clients lately. When one topic comes up for one client it tends to show up for everybody, which I think is fascinating. 

Since we’re in the middle of another tidal wave, I wanted to share this with you in case you're there swimming along and thinking that you’re by yourself. 

It is okay to change your mind. Really, it is!! 

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

🔹        Signs that someone (or you) may be ready for a change

🔹         How to tell the difference between changing your mind and giving up (they are NOT the same thing!)

🔹         Why it’s possible to get everything you can out of an experience and be ready to move on to the next thing

🔹        What to do if you spent your whole life wanting and working towards something, only to find out that it just doesn’t feel right

If you need to get out of what you’re doing because it just isn’t lighting you up, or if you just feel like you’re finished, and you’ve gotten everything you can out of a particular experience, then this episode is for you!

When I think of moving forward in my life and my work, I don’t think of goals, because to me it feels like goals are the ending point. What happens when you get there? Is that it? 

When you get where you want to be, you can’t just sit and be stagnant. That’s why it’s so important to dream big. No, bigger than that….  the biggest most impossible thing that you can even imagine! Let’s Dream Bigger!

 In this episode, we’ll talk about:

🔹 Why I prefer to think of things I want to accomplish as mile markers instead of as goals

🔹 How our beliefs around ourselves can limit how big we allow ourselves to dream

🔹 How to know if you’re dreaming big enough (and how to dream even bigger!)

Wanna take your life to another level? Can you possibly dream bigger? Then this episode is for you! 

I’d love it if you sent me a DM and let me know what’s your bigger dream? What do you wanna do?
