Support is Sexy

I get it -- when you're building your business and creating something sexy it's go, go go, right? If it's going well, you don't want it to stop so you keep pushing; or, if it's not going so well, you feel like you can't stop so you keep pushing. Either way, the result is you pushing and pushing and pushing.

Here's the thing about pushing, eventually, if you're not careful, your body will push back and tell you that, "hey, you need to take a break!" That was the case for me when a recent migraine shut everything down and stopped me not only from pushing, but from working at all.

On this episode, I want to remind you of ways to take care of yourself before you body pushes back. You're a super woman, but you don't have to be Superwoman. Take care of yourself, and take a break!

I don't care how gentle a rejection is, there's always some part of it that makes us say, "Ouch!" I went through this recently after receiving a rejection from an agent about my book proposal for the "Support is Sexy" book. (OUCH!) But, I learned something from this experience.

On this episode, I share what I learned from the experience, and three ways that you can handle rejection as the journey to your dream.

As women in today's world, we certainly are embracing our agency more and creating lives and businesses that we love; but there are still times when we have to be reminded that WE have control of our own narratives. At a time when our decisions, our bodies and our access to opportunities continue to be blocked in many ways, remember that you are the author of your life (or the co-author, if you're like me and you believe that a higher power is at work with you on this journey).

Don't let the world tell you who you are supposed to be. Be who you're MEANT to be and control the narrative.
