She Built This®

I know it sounds harsh... but it's true. And it's been my #1 lesson during this month of June, which I dubbed the month of "RESET".

I was at my wit's end and decided it was necessary to pull back a bit and take a look at where I was, where I was going, and what the next steps looked like. 

In this episode, I talk about the clarity and passion that was there all along and was brought back to life in the daily DOING. 

I also share my three RESET activities (which you can do too!): 

1. Life Audit 

2. Time (and task enjoyment) Audit 

3. Emotional Wellbeing Audit 

And where the podcast is going next! Jason will be joining me for Episode #100 next week! And next month, July 2021, is all about brand Y-O-U! 

The other night, I was falling asleep trying to put my finger on the difference between HELPING and people-pleasing. 

I think I nailed it. For me, anyway. People-pleasing DRAINS me of energy and helping BOOSTS my energy and gives me life! 

In this episode, I get into my confessions as a people-pleaser in recovery: 

• Where it might have come from 

• Know your limits

I’m about to hit episode 100 soon and I have such an action-packed docket of guests coming!

I’m also trying to convince my husband Jason to join me as a guest and share what we’ve learned since being in business together and then separately for 7 years. But we’ll see. I don’t want him to people-please us just cause we all want to hear from him, ya know. Email me HERE if you want him to be on the show.

This episode is a never-before-tried-by-me activity based on the question I heard in Oprah's Super Soul podcast (The Give), "What is the energy you choose to bring to the world?"

“Life can be measured in exchanges of energy - positive or negative, what is the energy you choose to bring to the world? Positive exchanges multiply and grow which is why giving feels so good.” - Oprah

The legacy I want to leave and the energy I want to bring is one of LOVE, lifting others up, showing them that they can do it! 

This episode is one part me living that legacy out, and one part YOU thinking about yours.

Instructions after listening: 

1. Ask your friends, family, and fans one question, “What three attributes make me unique?” 

2. Use the hashtag #SBTCheerleadingChallenge, you can tell them this is part of the She Built This community so that it takes some of the heat off, you're not fishing for compliments or something

3. Head into She Built This group and check out the pinned post (I’ll have it pinned to the top until Saturday, June 12th) and share what people said. What blew you away, what gave you the chills, what gave you a revelation about yourself that made you feel seen and heard? 

Did it resonate with you as the truth about who you are? 

You can do this via email to select people, on your Facebook, your Instagram, etc. 

And I invite you to consider the legacy and impact you’re making NOW in the lives of others when making your decisions this week.

This episode is a mishmash of things I've been thinking about and feeling lately. The world getting back to normal again... what that looks like from a time and attention standpoint. 

• How last week was overwhelming and I flaked due to poor planning 

Can you build a business without social media? 

There are a certain number of businesses that don't NEED social media, but chances are, they can all benefit and grow with a good social media strategy in place.

Today, I'm going to be talking about whether or not you need it as a business, and my seven tips to make it suck less cause spoiler alert: you probably need it for your business and it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

I talk about: 

• Time-Blocking 

I can’t wait to hear which of these tips resonate and you might want to add in AND if your perspective changed at all if in fact, you're feeling a little over social media-ed. 

I don't often share about my messy mucky stuff until I am on the other side of it... but the topic of anxiety is something that has been on my heart and mind for a long time to talk to you all about and I am unpacking it a little bit in this episode, how it comes up for me, and some of the why behind it as I do the work to unpack it. 

I know it affects us all in different ways and today I am sharing my personal experience with it and what I found at the root of some of it. In this episode:  

• Last year vs. this year - if you're not where you want to be yet, keep going! You can do it!

Have you ever heard of the Enneagram? 

Maybe you even know a thing or two about your type? 

This is not your average personality test and this is not like any other way you have heard about the Enneagram!

The Enneagram gives freedom to BE you, sheds light on some of your tendencies and proclivities, and helps you to extend grace to others in your life as well. 

In This Episode: 

• What the Enneagram is

About Christina Granahan: 

Christina is an Enneagram-informed therapist and coach. She has created a niche that is sometimes spiritual mentor, sometimes mental health clinician, and sometimes coach to teens and adults who, despite their best efforts, aren’t creating the life that comes from their own, unique genius and birthright. She works with individuals and groups both privately and in organizations because what's good for individuals is also good for business.
