The patriarchy, capitalism, religion, and our schools feed us beliefs from the day we’re born that we grow up to believe to be universal truths. Beliefs like you must work hard to be successful, don’t waste time, be modest - don’t brag or be too confident. Yet 95% of our beliefs don’t serve us in creating that career and life we see  “other” humans can have, but don’t believe that could ever be us. . 

These beliefs are why we feel empty- -  like our soul has been snatched out of our bodies. We think if we change something outside of us like get that promotion, make more money, work for a new boss, or change companies we’ll finally feel fulfilled and at peace. 

These universal beliefs which I refer to as “stories” are why you feel overwhelmed, burnout, and empty. And so with thought work, we can go into our brain to understand what’s going on.  

This week I’m offering you a brand new way to stop fondling and believing your brain’s “stories”, and decide to love yourself enough to start creating that career and life that feels in balance, peaceful, and powerful. Let’s do this!

Human life is filled with nothing but decisions. We make thousands of decisions a day from what we eat to whether to see a doctor about a health concern. Yet,  so many of us make a million excuses to not make a decision about something important in our lives from whether we risk getting cancer to showing up exhausted at work, or in our relationships. 

We believe our brains “stories” which show up as big fat excuses. And the cost of listening to these “stories”  can be devastating. 

We’re constantly trying to control how we look, what other people think, feel, and do, the environment around us, our family, friends, loved ones, and even strangers because we fear the feelings we need to feel around decision making. But as with anything in thought work, we have to dig deeper into our brain to understand what’s going on. 

This week I’m offering you a brand new way to stop making excuses, and decide to love yourself enough to start being a decision making machine so you can create that life that feels balanced and amazing!

This week I’m celebrating three years of coaching myself and being coached by a handful of amazing coaching I work with weekly. And this celebration and reflection of the past three years inspired for the podcast this week - figuring out when it’s worth doing something even though it feels hard. 

We’re socially conditioned to go the easy route and lean away from difficulty. In the podcast today I’m going to walk you through the steps to understand when it is productive and helpful to decide to do something hard. 

It’ll be important to ask yourself throughout the decision process:

Does it feel hard in a way that is worthwhile? 
Is this difficulty tied to a larger goal or greater picture?

If the answers are yes, then doing the hard thing will f*ing pay off in growth and self awareness.

I've heard from so many clients, colleagues, and friends that they are just feeling burnt the f*ck out at work. So this week I'm sharing one of my favorite episodes of the Rock Your Brain. Rock Your Life podcast - Freedom At Work.

My students often come to me with many negative thoughts surrounding work. They are badass women in tech and oftentimes they expect themselves to be delivering A+, perfect work all the time. The stress that this mindset creates often follows them around, not allowing them to "Turn Off" and find freedom.

How do you find freedom at work then Sarah?

B-minus work baby.

From one week of thought work, one of my students in the Rockstar Program has trained her brain to believe that B- work is ENOUGH and now she feels freedom and a sense of calm at work.

Today I am sharing how to do that with you. This is the power of believing that B minus work is enough and how you can use it to drop the shame and self-doubt you’re experiencing at work and replace it with a feeling of freedom as you go about your day.

It’s time to talk about why you need to be an unpaid influencer.

I’m an unpaid influencer for Dua Lipa, Elon Musk, Sara Blakely, and of course JLO. 

I know what you’re thinking - what? Why would you be an unpaid influencer? 

Well, being an unpaid influencer has brought me to where I am today - where you are today, listening to my 101st podcast episode... something I was scared shitless to do just two years ago when I started.

I stay grounded in the belief that I’ve done hard things I’ve never done before. And to propel me through my goal and journey of becoming a life coach, I looked for humans who are doing just that, doing hard sh*t that has never been done before. 

And I visualize, talk about, envision, and embody how I am already like these inspiring humans.

I encourage you to find those humans who inspire you and know that there is something in them that is already who you are right now. 

Listen to the podcast to hear the exercise to uncover who you’re inspired by and an unpaid influencer for and how it can change your f*ing life.

If you ever feel like crumpling on the floor from exhaustion, overwhelm, and stress and don't know how you'll overcome it - this is a must listen episode.

I got to talk with one of my favorite people, Melissa Chambers (MC) about how she broke through her personal burnout in 90 days of The Rockstar Program. From crying on the floor in her bathrobe before work to now feeling calm and confident - she's even coaching her colleagues at work to help them break through burnout!

Melissa's story is relatable and she has some inspiring insights, including her take on Operation LTD (Live the Dream) - which I've incorporated into my daily thought work and life. 

We had so much fun recording this and I know you'll have fun listening too!

Do you remember being in high school and playing sports or being a part of a group and wanting more? Thinking that if you get onto Varsity or get into that 'cool group' that you'd feel happier or life would be better?

As adults, we are rewarded as a society when we climb the ranks of the ladder whether it's socioeconomic status, career, the house we buy, etc.

The main reason we think we want to climb the ladder and get to the next rung, is because we are hardwired to feel a sense of belonging. And with each rung, we enter a new 'pack' or group.

So we are inundated daily with messages to get that next promotion, find that new job, start that new hot career. What our brain and society has told us to believe is when we climb the ladder, we'll have more respect, make more money, work will feel better, we'll be happier, and life will be easy. 

But this is a big fat lie. When we climb the ladder to rid ourselves of insecurity - we burn ourselves out because we take the same shitty feelings with us when we get to the next rung.  And we have to remember that the outside circumstance can't change what is going on internally.

This is when burnout happens.

And the only thing that can change a feeling are your beliefs. So listen for the  4 concrete steps to take when you want to climb the ladder:

1. Start with your why - are you following a desire?

2. What do you choose to think?

3. How do you want to feel?

4. Who do you need to stop being, to get there?

Remember that the reasons to climb any ladder are to access fun, love, curiosity, and a place of believing "I'm enough."

Today's episode is all about reconnecting with or creating for the first time, what you want your life to look like - outside of work.

We've been socialized look externally to understand who we are. But this gets us stuck in an identity that might not always serve us. Like, "I'm a CEO" or "I'm an entrepreneur."

Now don't get me wrong. Those are awesome things to be... but it's time to disconnect our identity from that and create an identity that feels exciting. This, my friends, will bring us some magic to our life and help us reprioritize how we spend our time.

I'll walk you through 10 questions to get to your true essence. 

1. Who are you beyond your socialized identities and conditioning
2. Who are you beyond what others told you?
3. Who are you outside of your practiced thoughts about who you are?
4. Who are you when you go beyond time and space?
5.  Who are you beyond delusions?
6. Who are you when you’re free?
7. Who are you really?
8. Who are you really?
9. Who are you really?
10. Who are you really?

(^ yes that last question is asked four times, trust me it will really help you get to the root of you.)

Next we'll create your "Operation Live the Dream."

You'll uncover, when you are plugged into your true essence, what it feels like in your body.
And from that point how to follow your desires, cravings, and yearnings. 

As you do this practice, come back to your body. Listen to what your body is telling you about what you desire and what you want to bring into your life.   

Once you’ve found that essence. Visualize yourself at age 90 and ask yourself - what would you regret that you had not done in your life. 

And write, explore, get to know what your life outside of work can look like for you.
