Owning Her Authority Podcast | For Ascending Women Ready to Boldly Amplify Their Impact

Who’s ready to slow down, get quiet, and sink into their inner knowing?

Imagine me virtually raising my hand right along with you!

Join me today as we listen to a fan favorite mini meditation from the challenge I hosted back in the spring of 2021. If you were part of the challenge, then today’s episode will be familiar to you, but I received such kind feedback about this meditation in particular that I wanted to share it with our whole community.

Today’s meditation is inspired by the book Untamed by Glennon Doyle. One of my favorite quotes from the book is “Be Still and Know.” So press play and listen in as we meditate on how the answers are already inside of us.

The Power of Setting A, B, and C Goals!

When it comes to setting your goals do you think of them as all or nothing? What if you release the all-or-nothing, perfectionist thinking and just enjoy the journey?

Several years ago I learned about setting A, B, and C goals and I’ll be using this goal setting technique as I prepare for my first postpartum half marathon!

So, what do these goals look like? Here’s how I define A, B, and C goals:

• A Goal - This is the best case scenario! Whatever it is that you set your mind to do is accomplished and you feel fantastic! Heck, you even "beat" your goal and are ecstatic at the results!
  
  
• B Goal - Woohoo! You hit your goal, whatever it may be, and while it wasn't the best case scenario, you still feel accomplished and give yourself a mental high five for working so hard and celebrating the journey each day!
  
  
• C Goal - This should be a level of your goal that you're 90% sure you can accomplish no matter what. And even if you meet this goal, or maybe parts of it, you'll still feel a sense of pride in yourself for having shown up, done the work, and you LOVE how you felt throughout this journey. No matter how things turned out with this specific goal, you're grateful for its pursuit because of how you showed up for yourself in its pursuit. That is a win all of its own!

How will you use A, B, and C goals during your day? I’d love to know how you will implement this strategy!

I’ve created a free worksheet for you to use when setting your A, B, and C goals and you can find it here! And I’d love for you to come see me over on instagram and continue the conversation and let me know all about your goals!

So friends pop in your earbuds and learn how to set those goals!

In 2022 I’m embracing the word Ease. Ease in how I’m going to show up, in how I’m going to do the work, and in how I plan on savoring the journey I’m on and enjoying all the big and small moments along the way. If you are curious how I settled on the word Ease you can listen to that episode here!

In today’s mini motivational meditation I invite you to slow down with me as I meditate on a quote from Jen Sincero’s book You are a Badass At Making Money. The quote goes, “You are awesome, infinitely powerful, and I love you.” I hope this quote speaks to you as much as it does to me each and every time I read it.

Today let’s choose to talk to ourselves with kindness and love. Would you talk to your best friend the way you talk to yourself? If not, let's rewrite and rewire how we speak to ourselves. Let’s speak to ourselves with grace, kindness, and love.

So press play, find a comfortable place to sit, and give yourself some time to slow down and get back in touch with your breath. Let’s find stillness, together.

Today we are talking about goal setting…but goal setting in a different way! 

Goal setting is one of my favorite topics, and this year I’ve drastically changed how I will approach setting goals for myself. In the past, I’ve set super specific, measurable goals. And while I still believe there’s a season of life where that approach feels right, coming out of a challenging two years I’m looking forward to adjusting my goal setting technique a bit…for this year at least!

I love to choose a word for the year. Last year I chose rooted. I wanted to feel rooted in my community, in my home, and in my relationships. This year the word that has settled on my heart is Ease. What does Ease look like for me this year and how does it play into my goals? Tune in to find out!

Will you be choosing a word for this year? How about setting your own goals? 

I’m also talking on the pod about tangible things you can do on your own as you set your 2022 goals and the practices I personally use to help select your own word for the year. And I would love it when you choose your word that you come see me on Instagram and leave me a comment about your chosen word or better yet send me a DM so we can chat about it!

In this special episode I’m reflecting back on what I have learned on this journey, what I’ll do differently in the future, how I’ve grown as a person and a host, and what to expect in season 3!

What have I learned on this crazy and amazing journey!?

• Asking for help is a strength and not a weakness. Which is why I’ve brought on my first team member! Liz Chapman has joined the LBD Co. team to help me manage the podcast, and that gives me the opportunity to free up my time to coach you on your health goals, create my masterclass, and I’ll be launching The Live By Design Co Club in 2022 too!
• I’m just so dang proud of myself for showing up, doing the work, and finding my voice!

What you can expect from season 3 of The Live By Design Podcast

• I'll be back in your ears in January 2022!
• Talking about mindset, habits, goal-setting, healthy routines, scripting the life of your dreams, and manifestation.
• Tactical advice to get you closer to achieving your goals. 
• I'll talk  of the advice I’d give myself from 10 years ago! 
• I’ll bring on an Enneagram expert
• We will dig into joy and gratitude! 

I’ll be launching the exclusive The Live By Design Co. Club! Each month will have a theme and a corresponding habit that we will work on implementing together. It will give you direct access to me as well as to the other members of the club. We will have monthly zoom calls to talk about how we are setting ourselves up for success, and the LBD Co. Club will be a place to come together without judgement, with kindness in our hearts, and to encourage and uplift one another. Look for The Live By Design Co. Club launching in early 2022!

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of speaking with Stacey Shifflett - known as The Fit Stylist - who twenty years ago lost her Dad to suicide. Stacey shared with us how this tragedy changed her life in every way and ultimately empowered her to stop following the crowd, to become the hero of her own story, and how her Dad still supports her daily. You can listen to that episode here if you missed it. 

In today’s bonus episode Stacey shares advice she wishes she had known a decade ago. And her advice is familiar to our podcast community, as many of us can identify with worrying about what others think of us and have people-pleasing tendencies. Stacey also dives into how she uses self-care and mindset work to live her most intentional and authentic life.

So, put in your earbuds and listen in as Stacey shares with you insights from the last decade and where she sees herself 10 years into the future as well!

Twenty years ago, Stacey Shifflett unknowingly shared her final conversation with her dad. Later that day he was lost to suicide, and it’s this loss that marks the beginning of her journey to becoming the strong, fearless, and empowered woman that she is today. 

In today’s episode Stacey shares with us the tragic story of her father’s passing, and how the experience of losing him is why she needs to live ridiculously out loud, why she stopped following the crowd and became the leader and hero of her own story, and how her Dad is still serving and loving her daily.

Stacey shares with us the gifts she learned from her dad’s suicide: 

• The gift of choice
• How she changed the narrative on anxiety and depression and now views it as an opportunity to connect with herself
• How listening to her intuition brought about her own hair salon which has led her to reaching financial goals
• The gift of taking chances
• The ability to look at challenges as a gift and not a curse
• The desire to Live Intentionally 

So friend, join us on the podcast today while Stacey talks about the many gifts she has learned from her Dad, how she does everything in her life with intention, how she is no longer crippled by her father’s suicide, and how she is living out loud to honor his memory. 

**This episode discusses the suicide of someone close to today’s guest and how that experience has shaped who she is today. If the topic of suicide is disturbing to you, then today’s episode may not be the best fit for you at this time.

If you or someone you know is suicidal, please, contact your physician, go to your local ER, or call the suicide prevention hotline in your country. 

For the United States, the numbers are as follows:

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255), or message the Crisis Text Line at 741741. Both programs provide free, confidential support 24/7.

This week’s bonus episode features Nick Cruz Velleman of Sight and Insight who is a dear friend, artist, youtuber, teacher, and author. You may remember Nick from earlier this week when he joined me on the podcast and we discussed the role of art and creativity in our daily lives, the power of art to teach nonjudgement and self-acceptance, and finally we dreamed big with Nick as he shared his future hopes and dreams for himself and his business. You can check out that episode here if you missed it.

In today’s bonus episode Nick shares what advice he would give himself if he could go back and speak to himself from 10 years ago. And his advice focuses on two areas that we can all find a nugget of wisdom in. The first piece of advice is that while willpower is deeply important it will only get you so far, and the second piece of advice is to leave margins in your day...and ultimately in your life! 

So, put in those earbuds, press play, and listen in while Nick shares with you the insights he’s learned from his past decade of life!
