Wisdom comes from experience - both successes and failures - and is best put to use when it is shared with others, so listen in today as I share five lessons that I wish I would have learned ten years ago, as they would have saved me a lot of time and money. 

When it comes to your health and saving tons of time, money, and heartbreak, I touch upon the importance of teamwork, losing weight the same way that you keep it off, having a timeline that lasts your entire lifetime, letting go of what is uncontrollable, and reducing stress (not just negative stressors but also positive ones).

Although all five of these lessons are tied directly to your health, many of them can be applied to other areas of your life as well, and this is an episode that you definitely will not want to miss! Afterall, I am sharing these because I wished someone else had done the same for me. 

Time Stamps:

[2:35] - Wisdom should be shared with others.

[6:14] - The link between teamwork and your health.

[9:29] - You need to lose weight the same way you keep it off.

[11:24] - Have a lifestyle timeline not an end date.

Have you ever found yourself wanting to pivot in your career but being held back for one reason or another? Yeah, me too! Today’s topic, pivoting, was inspired in part by my recent podcast episode with Felicia Romero (episode 14), and my goal is to share how my professional pivots were necessary in order for me to grow and gain experience. I share these pivots – my major professional pivots over the last twenty-one years, including my most recent pivot from a few weeks ago – in hopes to inspire you that your greatest opportunities could be on the other side of your pivot you may be resisting. To help guide you through your decision to professionally pivot or not, I offer these five questions I learned from Jamie Kern Lima at Kacia Ghetmeri’s EmpowerHER Live: 

1. What is one way that you are hiding in your life right now?
2. What has hiding in plain sight or your self-doubt already cost you?
3. What will your life look like in five years if you keep hiding?
4. What about ten years?
5. What can I do today?

Remember pivoting can be a blessing in disguise. I am not saying it is easy, but I am saying it could be what your future self is waiting for you to do. I hope by sharing my professional pivots, it will inspire you to know and trust you are stronger than you may believe. 

Time Stamps:

[1:58] - Could you be avoiding a professional pivot?

[5:52] - It can be powerful to reflect on previous pivots to see what experience can be leveraged for your next pivot.

[6:16] - Sharing my major professional pivots.

[12:35] - Hear about my most recent pivot.

[16:34] - Five key questions to guide you through your next decision to pivot.

Listen in as Sheley dives into impressions today, not only the impressions that we leave on others but also the impressions that we leave on ourselves. When it comes to how we want others to view us, we usually want to leave a lasting impression and put ourselves in their shoes. However, what we don’t always consider is how much of that impression is tied to what we think of ourselves.

You are your business billboard: how you talk about yourself or others, how you present yourself, your eye contact, your words, your questions, and of course YOUR HEALTH. Sheley discusses how your self impression is directly linked to your level of confidence. And your level of confidence is directly linked to your professional success. The great news is this is all something that we can control because the only thing we can control is ourselves. Sheley has been there too and wants you to tune in to hear more on how you can leverage your health in all impressions. 

Sheley talks you through five essential questions to help you align your impression of yourself with what you hope others see too including:

1. How do I feel when I look in my closet? Am I wearing the same outfits again and again?
2. What am I hiding based on the outfit I'm selecting?
3. What impression do I have of myself and does that align with what I hope others see in me?
4. What am I saying to myself when I look in the mirror or when I get dressed?
5. Who can I team up with to help me or what is the one action I can take today?

These questions might make you feel uncomfortable, and that is the point. Expect to be uncomfortable and know that is the first step to creating change. This isn’t only about changing who you are but who you see yourself as, and it’s limitless.

[1:35] - Recently asked to attend a networking group.
