Psychologists have been evaluating the performance enhancing effects of visualization on athletes for more than 30 years. Studies show that visualization (or mental rehearsal as it's also called) stimulates the brain to send signals to the body because it believes that athlete isn't just dreaming about winning that event and receiving the gold medal, they are there!

You can have access to this same experience if you allow your mind to go there. So in this week's latest episode of "Live the Question" I ask you: What would it look like if today was THAT day?

After listening to the episode, give that some thought, grab your journal, and reflect. Then be sure to text me at 1.917.809.6764 and let me know what you think!

Live the question. It's a powerful phrase first shared with me in 2016 when interviewing an inspiring women named Patricia Moreno, may she rest in peace. It's also chapter 7 of my book, Get Over ‘I Got It’: How to Stop Playing Superwoman, Get Support and Remember that Having It All Doesn’t Mean Doing It All Alone (realized by HarperCollins Leadership in 2021). 

Why? Because I have learned over the years that one of the most courageous, open and vulnerable things that we can do as unapologetically ambitious women who think we need to have the answers is to LIVE THE QUESTION. The empowering questions -- the questions that relieve stress and anxiety and a desperate need to make sense of uncertainty. The empowering questions that -- with intention, faith and curiosity -- can lead us to empowering answers that we never imagined if we just give it some space and time for reflection. 

That's what this new season of the Support is Sexy podcast is about: Living the question. After taking some time off to reflect (and to live the question) and think about what would be next for me and what I really want to share with all of you incredible listeners and supporters of the show, I was moved to launch this new series of solo-only episodes where I will share with you a thought-provoking question each week that I invite you to LIVE. Give yourself time to reflect, to explore, to be open. It's a vulnerable space but it's a beautiful space and it inevitably leads to growth. 

I invite you to write the questions in your journal and write whatever comes up from you. A few months ago, I wrote an entire journal entry that said "these are the questions I'm living right now." And I resisted the urge to write any answers or ideas. Just...the questions.

Because this idea of Living the Question aligns with the idea of being open to support in a new way, I am launching the series here, in the same place where you've listened to 800+ episodes of the Support is Sexy podcast if you've been a longtime listener. This is a journey that we're going to be on together. I hope you'll join me, offer your feedback and share wth me the questions you're living right now.

I'd love to hear rom you: Text me at +1.917.809.6764 and let me know the questions your living right now.
