Sincerely, Me

Behind every success story, there's often an unspoken mess. In this week's episode, Tallia and Katie Mallet (friend, former coachee, and founder of Make + Do community) discuss how the path of pursuing our purpose isn't always a pretty one.

Katie openly shares about the mess of her path, the process of waiting in the "in between," and the lessons she learned in her career transition. With a bit of trust, patience and an entrepreneurial spirit, Katie took one step at a time, eventually leading her to create her own path of purpose.

The biggest takeaways:

1. Give yourself permission to want more and trade guilt for gratitude

2. Accept your current reality and stop resisting the mess

3. Have the courage to find your joy and speak what you want into existence

If you're in the messiness of your path and looking for tools to pursue your purpose, applications for the Inner Work Circle are open until mid-August. Only a few spots left!

Feel like you're sitting on the bench, waiting on the sidelines for someone else to give you permission to play big?

In this episode, Tallia describes how many of us move through life as "self-imposed benchwarmers," getting in our own way of standing up, speaking out, taking action, and showing up for the big game. She also shares about the 4 things we need to stop playing small: self-belief, vision, desire, and deservedness.

You in to play? The Inner Work Circle is for anyone willing to get uncomfortable, shed a few layers, and get real with herself because she knows bigger and better things await.

Tallia is joined by dear friend, stylist and coach Lillian Charles for a conversation filled with laughter, some tears, and full hearts. They talk about taking up space, showing up authentically, and having the courage to be seen for who you are. Whether through the way you dress or in the way you share your story, authentic self-expression is such a big part of showing up fully.
