I hated the word "mid-life woman" I would secretly think I'm not like them ... I've never had problems hot flashes, weight gain ... I mean geez ... I beat obesity when I was a teenager. My lifestyle is simply impeccable, but … I had a wake up call that I want to share with you in this episode. 

Since B.C. (Before COVID) I’ve been in denial ... of my exhaustion, racing mind in the middle of the night ... sleep deprivation ... lack of constant physical energy that has been present over the past few years. 

I blamed it on building my business. “This is normal,” I would tell myself.  “I’m doing something uncommon … it’s what I signed up for, right?” 

I knew something was off. It started with brain fog ... feeling isolated, tiredness, exhaustion. I was blaming it on hustle, busy syndrome, and telling myself it’s all in my head ... and I just had to work more on my beliefs. “Stay positive … you got this!” was my mantra. 

It’s like … wondering why the sink is overflowing, but I didn’t realize I needed to turn off the faucet! 

Thoughts are not the only part of the puzzle of our complex humanity.

When starting a podcast, or going after a big goal, we think it's all about our thoughts, and we just have to believe an intentional one to succeed, but that’s short-sighted.

When our physiology is off our brain is off.
-Dr. Mindy Pelz 

And if you are pre-menopausal or post-meno woman like me, this is like the elephant in the room. You may not even see that your brain has been hijacked by your hormones.

It's NOT JUST IN YOUR HEAD. 

As you’ll hear in this episode, I’m on a mission to call every woman that feels that something is “off,” to STOP the shame game.

Thoughts are only part of the equation.

Spontaneity can be your biggest podcasting ally. Strategy is amazing ... but without spontaneity you could easily find yourself hustling, and stuck in a box.

Without spontaneity you squash creativity and the unknown and the unknown is where the wonder is. 

Spontaneity creates freedom, allowing the breakthroughs to inspire you to jump behind that mic and share.

When you have the moment when the creativity is swirling in the ether, harness it, bottle it up ... that's the magic.

Don't box yourself in and say: "maybe later, 'cause it's not the time for that ... I gotta do that IG post."

Don't miss out on the magnificence of the moment, and the fleeting gift that spontaneity is giving you.

You write the rules of your podcast and your business. 

Podcasting is still the Wild West and you're the creator of it.

Change lives with your words.

Don't keep them inside when they are asking to come out.

It’s fun to have structure, but it’s also fun to be spontaneous and capture the creativity in the ether, which is exactly what this  outdoor, rustic episode with chirping birdies in the background episode is all about. 

I’m always going encourage you to take risks and allow spontaneity to arise …  to be off-the-cuff and go fast and loose. Just turn on the mic and go!

What’s the worst that could happen? You stumble a little, you mess up your words.

What’s the best that can happen? You lean more into your human-ness.

Oprah once said “I will no longer be on TV but I will use it as a force for good and not be used by TV. When Oprah made this shift, it changed everything. How can you take this wisdom and apply it to your podcast? In this episode, learn 3 ways how.

One day, not too long ago, I had a big ugly cry, and looking back now, I can't even remember why I was upset. 

It's so interesting to see how emotions can carry us away, and then dissipate and fly away once they wash through us.  The gift that came out of this big ugly cry were rough notes, which are the basis of this episode. 

The question Oprah asks herself when disappointment or confusion strikes is: “what is this here to teach me?" 

Asking this question can be so revealing, because we often discover it's not the "stuff" ... not the static circumstance outside. It's way more subtle actually.  

Most of our problems circle back to trying to show us how to practice more patience, more love, more giving, more compassion. 

Solving inner obstacles always solves outer obstacles.

Here are 3 things Oprah says “will carry us if we let them”

1. Knowing who you really are 

2. You must find a way to serve 

3. Always do the right thing - be excellent so you become UNFORGETTABLE

Be the change you want to see. Do what makes you come alive and meander down the path that pulls you to what you really love.

Here's what you're listeners don't want …

They don’t want the music.

They don’t care about the fancy 30-sec elevator pitch (they will press the fast forward anyway).

They will never know what kind of microphone you are using so pick one you like.

They don’t wanna know all about your story and your history and all the accolades that you’ve had.

Those things are nice and they are good to share but think about your client and where they are right now.

They  just wanna know - can you help me with my problem?

Yes, do the music, the intro ... all of it, but not at the expense of forgetting what a podcast is really about.

Podcasting has given me a successful coaching business where I get to pay forward all of this wisdom, and of course you can have the same.

If you were a clairvoyant, and told me back in 2014 that a podcast would give me the success I have today, I’d never believed it.

When you detach from the outcome and you no longer NEED it. That’s when you start going somewhere. This shift  can change your entire perspective.

How can you find safety in detaching from the outcome? How can you podcast for the love of it, expecting zero in return in the way of downloads, listeners, clients, etc.?

How can you hold the intention for your goal, but in a playful way ... like it’s your number one job.

Podcasting's job is not to make you money or get you clients.  You might be thinking ... "Since I did not make money yet what's the point of recording if it seems like no one is listening?" Sure, it’s fun but let's get real ... it's not making me money. Why bother?" There's the obstacle thought - Why bother? Which becomes ... "I won't bother."

When you say "I want ... I want ... I want," the universe hears this: "I don't have ... I don't have," so what that means is, you get more not having. 

This is the kiss of death. 

This is why the statistics for new podcasts show that most give up within the first few months.

You can be that uncommon one by changing what you think podcasting success actually means.

The actual point of podcasting - fun, experimenting, taking creative risks, and building a body of work.

If your idea about podcasting is: "this is a marketing tool," you are missing the point entirely. It's like wanting the chicken before the egg.

A podcast has the potential to become your ULTIMATE marketing tool, as it has for me ... but only because you create it with fun, passion, excitement and the willingness to always try new things. 

The first step  ... do you like podcasting? Have you tried to act "as if" and record something?

Does running to the microphone excite the hell out of you, like it's Christmas morning? That's the vibe I'm talking about here.

You have to believe that every time you are speaking into your microphone it's like sending magical radio waves out to the universe.

Your only job is to get behind the mic, and keep having fun, because NOTHING is linear.

One post ... one episode, does not entitle you to the reward of a consult or a new client.

It's about sowing the seeds, and believing exactly what you need will bounce back, then kiss it and let it go.

It’s so easy to fall into the place of comfort and complacency with the way we show up in our business and podcast. Sometimes we can’t even see that because the desire to do what’s easy is always running in the background.

To zap out of this funk, here’s a great question to ask: “what's my barfy-excited-scares-the-bejesus-out-of-me goal this week?”   

Little word of caution ... this does not mean go into the spin cycle by filling a sheet with 50 things to keep you busy.

I've done this myself - sitting all day behind a computer thinking working harder will give me what I want.

This is so FAR from the truth.

If all you do is sit behind a computer mapping out a strategy, that’s not scary. That's just creating more work on your to do list and stress. 

Here are some examples of what I've done over the years that got me out of my comfort zone:

• Asking to be a guest on very big, very popular and very visible podcasts
• Request to be a keynote speaker in my niche
• Pitching to do an in-person how to podcast course at a trade event. 
• Asking celebs to be guests on my podcast (Yes, Deborah Norville of Inside Edition was on my show!)

All you need to do is ASK. Then kiss it good bye and let the universe do the rest.
You already know it's crazy, and you're like: “haha if pigs could fly, maybe Oprah will write me back.”

But get ready ... because you might get that email, or DM and be asked to talk on someone's stage like it happened for me.

The more you take yourself to your edge, the more fulfillment and accomplishment you’ll experience.

Landing that podcast guest or keynote speaker gig isn’t actually the goal. The goal is the growth … the stretch out of your nest of safety.

Now get out from behind the bushes. You have work to do mama bird.
