Episode #195: Crush Limiting Beliefs And Find Joy Within

Join us today as Colleen Interview's Coleen Greco on Take the Leap. We dive deep into the essence of joy and as we approach our milestone 200th episode, I couldn’t think of a better topic to explore than joy—something we all strive for but often find elusive.

Here are three key takeaways from our enlightening conversation that I believe can inspire you on your journey:

1. Joy vs. Happiness: Colleen beautifully articulates the difference between joy and happiness. While happiness is often a fleeting emotion tied to external circumstances, joy is a deeper, more enduring state of being that comes from within. It’s about cultivating a mindset that allows us to find joy in the smallest moments, regardless of our external situations. This distinction is crucial for anyone looking to enhance their emotional well-being.
2. The SNAP Method: Colleen introduced us to her transformative SNAP method, which stands for Stop, Notice, Accept (or Analyze), and Practice Gratitude. This powerful framework helps us confront our limiting beliefs and emotional triggers. By stopping to acknowledge our feelings, noticing the patterns, analyzing the facts versus our perceptions, and practicing gratitude, we can shift our mindset and open ourselves up to greater abundance and joy. It’s a practical tool that anyone can implement in their daily lives!
3. The Power of Community: One of the most poignant moments in our discussion was the emphasis on community. Colleen shared her personal story of how her son’s struggles with bullying and a suicide attempt highlighted the importance of having a supportive network. When we feel isolated, it can be easy to spiral into negative thoughts. Building and nurturing a community around us can provide the love and support we need to navigate life’s challenges and rediscover joy.

Episode #194: Empower Your Voice

Join us today as Colleen Interview's Rikki Smith on Take the Leap. In this episode, we dive deep into the importance of public speaking and how it can transform your career and personal life. Here are three key takeaways that I believe everyone should consider:

1. The Power of Communication: Rikki highlights the unique challenges faced by veterans transitioning into civilian life, particularly in public speaking. Military members often have their own language and acronyms, which can create a communication gap when they enter the workforce. This episode emphasizes the importance of effective communication skills, not just for veterans but for everyone. Whether you're in corporate America or an entrepreneur, being able to articulate your thoughts clearly can open doors and create opportunities.
2. Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking: Did you know that public speaking is often cited as the number one fear in the world? Rikki and I discuss how this fear is often rooted in negative belief systems that we internalize over time. It’s crucial to recognize that these fears can be addressed and overcome. Rikki encourages listeners to reframe their mindset, reminding us that we deserve to be on that stage and that our stories matter. By changing the narrative in our heads, we can transform fear into excitement!
3. The Importance of Training: Even if you feel comfortable speaking in front of an audience, Rikki stresses the value of training. Just like athletes train to improve their performance, public speakers must hone their skills to deliver impactful messages. Rikki’s book, "Own Your Stage," offers practical tips and insights for anyone looking to enhance their public speaking abilities. Investing in training can elevate your speaking engagements and help you connect with your audience on a deeper level.

Episode #193: Transforming Your Dreams Into Reality

Join us today as Colleen Interview's Felicia Searcy on Take the Leap. In this episode, we dive deep into the transformative power of creating a life you love, and I wanted to share three key takeaways that resonated with me and will surely inspire you too!

1. The Courage to Ask "What Would I Love?" Felicia emphasizes the importance of asking ourselves this powerful question. It’s not just about identifying what we want; it’s about tapping into the expansive energy of love. This question invites us to dream big and recognize that our desires are not just personal aspirations but acts of love for ourselves and the world. Are you ready to explore what you truly love?
2. Moving from "How" to "What" One of the most profound insights from our conversation is the idea of putting the "how" on hold. Often, we get caught up in the logistics of achieving our dreams, which can stifle our creativity and limit our vision. Felicia encourages us to focus on the "what" first—what we would love to create in our lives. By doing so, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and allow our higher selves to guide us toward the right actions.
3. The Power of Community Felicia highlights the significance of surrounding ourselves with a supportive community. When we share our dreams with those who believe in us, we create an environment where magic can happen. This community acts as a safe space for growth, where we can explore our aspirations without fear of judgment. Remember, you don’t have to navigate your journey alone!

Episode #192: Empowering Women To Speak Up

Join us today as Colleen Interview's Diane Wyzga on Take the Leap. Diane Wyzga is a change-maker who has dedicated her life to helping others find and use their voice. As we approach our milestone of 200 episodes, I wanted to share three key takeaways from our enlightening conversation that I believe can empower you to embrace your own voice and story.

Your Voice is Your Power

Diane emphasized that our voice is not just a means of communication; it is our power. Each of us has a unique story that deserves to be heard. However, fear often holds us back from expressing ourselves. It's crucial to recognize that our truth is valuable, and by sharing it, we can connect with others on a deeper level. Remember, your voice is as singular as your fingerprint—no one else has it, and it’s time to use it!

The Importance of Self-Discovery

Throughout our discussion, Diane highlighted the significance of understanding who we are at our core. Before we can effectively express ourselves, we must dig deep into our past experiences, values, and passions. This self-discovery process allows us to build a strong foundation from which we can confidently share our ideas and insights. As Diane put it, “Once we know who we are, we can begin to say what we mean and mean what we say.”

The Power of Connection Through Storytelling

One of the most profound aspects of our conversation was the idea that storytelling fosters connection. In a world that often feels disconnected, sharing our stories can bridge gaps and create understanding. Diane shared her experience of helping lawyers uncover their narratives, which not only aids in their professional lives but also enriches their personal connections. When we listen to each other’s stories, we realize we are not alone in our struggles and triumphs.

Episode #191: The Importance Of Authenticity

Join us today as Colleen Interview's Kyle VanDuser on Take the Leap. Kyle is the founder and executive director of Cypress Island Enterprises and the author of Blue Collar Catholicism. Our conversation was rich with insights, and I wanted to share three key takeaways that resonated with me and I believe will inspire you too!

1. The Importance of Authenticity

Kyle emphasized that being your authentic self is the easiest thing you can do, yet it’s often not simple. In a world filled with social media pressures and external expectations, it’s crucial to remember that our true character is who we are when no one is watching. Embracing authenticity not only liberates us but also allows us to connect more deeply with others. As Kyle said, “You were born for such a time as this,” so let’s show up as our true selves!

2. Building a Blue Collar Mentality

The pandemic prompted Kyle to reflect on his reliance on various industries and the importance of self-sufficiency. He introduced the concept of a "blue collar mentality," which encourages us to take charge of our lives—spiritually, physically, and emotionally. This mentality is about being proactive in our communities and ensuring that we are not just consumers but also contributors. Whether it’s growing our own food or nurturing our relationships, we all have a role to play in building a sustainable future.

3. Investing in People

One of the most powerful messages from our discussion was the idea that our network is our net worth. Kyle shared his experience working with nonprofits and political campaigns, highlighting the need to prioritize the well-being of the people behind the mission. By investing in our teams and communities, we create a ripple effect that enhances our collective impact. As leaders, it’s our responsibility to care for those around us, ensuring they feel valued and empowered to contribute to the greater good.

I encourage you to listen to this episode and reflect on how you can apply these insights in your own life. Let’s continue to support one another in our journeys toward authenticity, self-sufficiency, and community investment.

Episode #190: Stories Of Success And Transformation

Join us today as Colleen Interview's Ruth Sanchez, the Director of Business Development at Live and Learn on Take the Leap. We dive deep into the transformative work being done to empower women and break the cycle of generational poverty.

Here are three key takeaways that I believe everyone should reflect on:

1. The Power of Empowerment: Ruth shared a powerful insight: "Empower a woman, and you empower the world." This statement resonates deeply, as we discussed how when women gain knowledge and skills, they not only uplift themselves but also their families and communities. The ripple effect of empowering women can lead to lasting change, breaking the cycle of poverty for future generations.
2. The Importance of Community Support: Many women facing hardships often don’t realize the resources available to them. Ruth emphasized the significance of nonprofits like Live and Learn, which provide essential support and guidance. It’s crucial for us to spread the word about these resources and encourage those in need to reach out. If you or someone you know is struggling, remember that help is out there!
3. Real Stories, Real Change: One of the most moving parts of our conversation was hearing about the personal journeys of women who have gone through the Live and Learn program. Ruth shared the inspiring story of a woman who, after completing her training, not only secured a fulfilling career but also became a role model for her children. These stories highlight the profound impact that dedicated support and mentorship can have on individuals and their families.

Episode #189: Building Wealth And Financial Confidence

Join us today as Colleen Interview's Tess Waresmith on Take the Leap. In this episode, we dive deep into the often-overlooked topic of women and investing, and Tess shares her inspiring journey from losing $80K in a bad investment to building her net worth to over a million dollars as a single woman.

Here are three key takeaways from our conversation that I believe every woman (and man!) should hear:

1. Financial Education is Empowering: Tess emphasizes that most of us didn’t receive a proper financial education growing up. This lack of knowledge can lead to feelings of shame and inadequacy when it comes to managing our money. However, Tess encourages us to take responsibility for our financial education. By learning the basics of investing, we can make informed decisions that will positively impact our financial futures. Remember, nobody cares about your money more than you do!
2. Investing is Accessible: One of the biggest misconceptions is that investing is complicated and only for the financially savvy. Tess breaks this myth by explaining that you don’t need to be an expert to start investing. Just like learning to drive a car, you only need to understand the basics to get started. Tess offers simple, digestible programs that can help anyone, regardless of their financial background, learn how to make their money work for them.
3. Start Small, Think Big: Many people hesitate to invest because they believe they need a large sum of money to start. Tess reassures us that even starting with a small amount, like $100 a month, can lead to significant growth over time thanks to the power of compound interest. It’s not about how much you start with; it’s about starting the journey and being consistent.

I encourage you to listen to this episode and gain insights that could transform your relationship with money. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your investment strategy, Tess’s wisdom is invaluable.

Episode #188: Empowerment And Transformation

Join us today as Colleen Interview's Brooke Kekos on Take the Leap. Brooke Kikos is a trauma healing coach and advocate for women overcoming difficult pasts. In this episode, we dive deep into the importance of cultivating healthy relationships with ourselves and others.

Here are three key takeaways that I believe everyone can benefit from:

1. The Importance of Self-Discovery: Brooke shared her journey of breaking free from a controlling upbringing and how it led her to realize the significance of understanding oneself. Many of us may find ourselves in toxic relationships simply because we don’t know our worth or what we truly want. It’s crucial to embark on a journey of self-discovery to establish a strong sense of self, which ultimately empowers us to make healthier choices in our relationships.
2. Recognizing Patterns: One of the most enlightening parts of our conversation was the discussion around recognizing unhealthy patterns in our lives. Brooke emphasized that when we find ourselves repeatedly attracting the same type of toxic relationships, it’s a sign that we need to dig deeper. By understanding our past experiences and how they shape our present, we can begin to break free from these cycles and create healthier dynamics in our lives.
3. Healing is Possible: Brooke’s work as a trauma healing coach highlights that healing doesn’t have to be a long, arduous process. Through techniques like Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) and hypnosis, individuals can rewire their beliefs. They can start to embrace a new sense of self in a relatively short time. This is a powerful reminder that we are capable of change and that seeking professional help can be a transformative step in our healing journey.

Episode #187: Discovering Your Soul's Mission

Join us today as Colleen Interview's Jennifer Urezzi on Take the Leap. In this episode, we explore how understanding our soul languages can lead to profound personal growth and clarity in our lives.

Here are three key takeaways that I believe will resonate with you:

1. The Power of Inner Transformation: Jennifer shares her journey from a career in marketing and PR to becoming a master intuitive healer. She emphasizes the importance of focusing on our inner world before attempting to change our outer circumstances. This shift in perspective can lead to a more authentic and fulfilling life. Remember, real success starts from within!
2. Discovering Your Soul Language: Each of us has a unique soul language that reflects our essential nature. Jennifer explains that by identifying our core energies—our mission, how we feel that mission, and our soulful personality—we can create a conscious connection to our true selves. This understanding allows us to navigate life with intention and purpose, rather than operating from pain or programming.
3. Practical Tools for Clarity: One of the most exciting aspects of this episode is Jennifer’s approach to helping individuals connect with their soul languages through therapeutic kinesiology. She teaches us how to use our bodies as a pendulum to receive guidance and clarity. This practice empowers us to trust ourselves and make decisions that align with our true essence.

Episode #186: Overcoming Fear And Embracing Change

Join us today as Colleen Interview's Erica Bennett on Take the Leap. In this episode, we delved into the topic of readiness for major life changes, such as divorce, career shifts, and personal growth.

Here are three key takeaways from our insightful conversation:

1. Self-Healing and Inner Work: Erica shared her personal journey of self-healing and how important it is to focus on changing ourselves before expecting external situations to change. She emphasized the power of visualization, breathing techniques, and meditation in calming the central nervous system and aligning our energy with our desired outcomes.
2. Choosing Love Over Fear: We discussed the significance of choosing love over fear in decision-making processes. Erica highlighted the importance of understanding our worthiness and not relying on external factors to fulfill us. By focusing on self-love and inner alignment, we can make clearer decisions and attract positive outcomes.
3. Taking the Leap: The episode emphasized the idea of taking the leap in life when we feel ready. Erica shared a valuable quiz on her platform to help individuals identify their current phase and guide them through the process of decision-making and personal growth. The key message was to focus on self-improvement, trust in oneself, and embrace change with confidence.
