So you’re all dolled up for a holiday party and things are going great until your friend whips out her phone and demands that you all take a group picture… full body. You really don’t want to take a picture because you’ve been bumming about a few extra pounds lately and you absolutely HATE the way you look next to your 22yr old friend who’s got a banging body and has yet to know the struggles of post-breastfeeding boob saggage, and not to mention you just gobbled down like a million pieces of cheese off that charcuterie board.  But you don’t want to NOT be in the photo because then you’d be the odd woman out and then everyone in the room would definitely want to try and pump you up with all kinds of comments that, let’s be real, are deflected as quickly as they are dished out. So you take the picture, and you feel like you just HAVE to see it immediately and give the stamp of approval or else you are totally going to demand that your friend delete it and take another one so you have a second chance at nailing that ass-out, leg-popped, shoulders back pose. Ladies… what the shit?! Do you feel me on this?? Raise your hand if you’ve ever been even remotely close to experiencing something like this.  It is our intention for you to be able to be present in moments like this, get comfortable with the camera and stop hating on your body so damn much.

So you’ve landed the job, or you are prepping to interview for the position you’ve been wanting and then this little thought starts to creep in… “But what if I’m not qualified enough? What if I’m not good enough to be here? What if they find out that I’m not as awesome as they think I am.” Girlfriend, you have a worthiness problem. Fortunately (and unfortunately) you are not alone. I myself have been in this space many times and found myself struggling to see myself as the talented individual my superiors saw me as… even after I had been awarded the promotion! We play a dirty little game with ourselves- we build up the courage and tell ourselves we are badass women and so when we land the job, win the promotion, or receive any manifestation really, we then question whether or not we are worthy of having it. In this episode, Katherine Orcutt and I dive into the mindset behind the worthiness struggles in the workplace and some action steps you can take now to improve your feeling of worthiness to be in any position you want to! Listen to the Full Episode to get all the Goods!  Connect with us on Instagram!@jordanpthomson@kaf_rine Join the Community on Facebook!

Personal Growth, Trust, Disordered Eating, Depression, Kegels, Frozen Yogurt, Chakras, and Hypnosis- this is just a snippet of what Katherine Orcutt  and I chat about in today’s episode.

Katherine and I have walked a similar path, particularly when it comes to our careers and personal growth, but she’s got her own story to share and today we dive into how she faced her disordered eating habits and has been growing into a woman who accepts and honors herself as she is right now.

Have you ever walked into a room and just felt like it swallowed you up whole? Or felt like you disappeared and became a wallflower? Maybe you dread walking into a room full of people you don’t know because the idea of having to talk a bunch of people is overwhelming!     What if I have nothing to say?    What will they think of me?    I don’t fit in.    I don’t even know anyone.    I’m going to be so awkward.    I suck a starting conversations. I can’t tell you how many social events I have avoided going to because I felt ALL of those things. I’ve sat in silence for entire semesters in college because I was shy AF. I’ve clung to my one friend at the party because I didn’t feel like I could fly on my own. Times have changed, baby! And you can change them too… A couple of months ago I went to a networking event and honestly… I felt like I owned the room and it felt UHHHHMAZING. These are the exact things I did and I want to share them with you 👇🏻 How to OWN a room when you walk into it! Set your intentions: Consider this to be a little prepwork before you go into the room. Doing this alone has the power to change your entire experience so if you are going to do any of these steps, this is the one you want to do! Declare how you want to feel when in that room. How do you want the experience to go? Setting your intentions and putting laser focus on what you want to get out of it, sets in motion LOA to bring that forth to you. So, although its super simple, putting the words out there isn’t quite enough. You’ll want to get yourself into a high vibe state- basically anything that feels GOOD. The more good, the better. I use music as my tool. Then I close my eyes, take deep breaths and  say, “It is my intention…” Have an elevator pitch: I talked about this when I was going to my networking event. I found myself getting a little nervous leading up to it which took me by surprise a little. I realized my nerves were stemming from not knowing how to tell people what I do for a living- HA! So I created an elevator pitch for myself. You can do this for personal life too, not just professional Ask yourself- what conversation am I nervous about having? What am I feeling unprepared for? Then prepare to have that convo! Wear something you feel confident in- not something you want to feel good in (there’s a difference) Super simple. I wore jeans, a cute little top and some wedges. I felt totally comfortable and bomb at the same time.- a combo that is necessary for me Wear what makes you shine. Not what you see other people shine in. Focus on other people This one is a game-changer right here. We go into nerve-wracking situations 100% focused on us: how we feel, how others are perceiving us, what we need to say/not say, how we look, etc. What you focus on, expands So if we are focused on our Nerves… guess what, nervousness will expand. When we focus externally- on other people, guess what happens to nerves… they start to disintegrate- melt away. Some of you may feel like this is tough- being a conversation starter- pick 3 questions you’d genuinely like to know about people and have those ready. There is no shame in being prepared before something like this. You’d be prepared for a speech, why not a social situation that makes you just as anxious? GENUINELY seek to be curious about others Client- felt like she needed to carry on conversation YO- you don’t have to small talk if you don’t want to! Picture a light radiating off of you. We are all energy. Literally everything on this planet is comprised of energy down to the cellular level. So, when you focus on radiating a bright, white light (or whatever color calls to you)- I believe white is more of a cleansing light, its almost impossible for others to ignore Its like the difference between waking around with a cloud around you, and a ray of sunshine. You cannot see the difference, but you can feel it. **reminder: everyone is focused on themselves and not worried about you!

You can still show up when you aren’t put together Looking good doesn’t mean shit when it comes to your capabilities. We can’t let that get in the way of us doing what we want to do or prevent us from showing up in scenarios we want to participate in. I think there is some value in looking good, but it has nothing to do with your worth, capability, skill or value. There is some value to liking the way you look because, when you look good- you feel good.  So take care of your body and take care of your health, wear some make up… whatever boosts the vibe. Where it becomes a trap is when we think our looks are directly connected to our value and our capabilities and the things that make up our worth. I want you to feel empowered and know that what you wear, how your hair is styled, what you look like has  o business getting in the way of stopping you from doing the things you want to do!

If you’re feeling stuck in any area of life it is because we are waiting for external circumstances to change in order for you to act differently. We think… oh when I have a little bit more time, then I’ll be able to prioritize myself.Or when I have a little bit more money, I’ll be able to invest in a personal trainer, coach or a program.Or when things just calm down a little, I’ll pursue my dreams.. NO! Life is crazy.Life will always be crazy. You will always have a commitment to attend to, something else to spend your money on, and limitless other prioritizes you fill up your life with.Getting the result you want- becoming next level, highly confident, and in alignment – will come from… Deciding to have something.Deciding that you will do something about it- something different than what you are doing now.And allowing it to unfold and fill in the cracks. Think about when you are planning a vacation. You decide you are going. Then you decide you are going to book the hotel and then book the flights. At this point, you have no doubt that you are actually going on this trip… so you don’t spend any time or energy worrying about whether or not this is the right trip for you because you don’t know all the little details of where you are going to eat, what excursions you might do, and most importantly- exactly how you are going to feel when you get home from your trip.  This is like any journey into the unknown. Whether that be taking the leap to show up on a LIVE in the online space.Whether that be investing in your personal growth by taking a course or getting a coach.Or it be doing something big like leaving your job, or a relationship that is no longer serving you.  You don’t get what you want by waiting for the environment around you to change.You don’t enjoy the experience of a tropical vacation by waiting for your hometown to magically transform into a 5 star resort in Bali….So if you wait for your circumstances to change in order to BE who you want to be… you’ll be waiting a lifetime. Decide what you want.Decide you’ll do whatever you need to do to make that happen. One tiny little decision can change the trajectory of your life.Just decide.

If you have grown up being shy or insecure you have 100% been in situations , relationships, friendships, environments, workplace scenarios where you felt left out. Call it FOMO, left out, ostracized… either way it feels like crap. It’s the fear of being left out and ostracized which is ultimately creating these situations for us.  We worry about disappointing others, not being fun enough, not being enough for others. We going into situations and events with that fear exuding from us. We get so focused on these negative feelings, fears and worries and what that does it energetically separates us from people. We are no longer focused on things that connect us with others. Things that connect us with others- joy, transparency, ease, fun, love, vulnerability  These are all churning this negative concoction and  it creates this cocktail of negative emotion, and people dont’ connect with that- they get repelled by it.  Listen to the full episode on how you can control these situations and How to be a magnet for fun, good vibes and positivity!
