Has anyone seen this new interview of Reality Reckoning with @bethennyfrankel and @raquelleviss ? 

If you know me, I am and have always been a reality TV lover - I find it easy to watch and super entertaining. This year most people discovered the show VanderPump Rules because of how intense this year's scandal impacted pop culture. In the past I never had actually stepped back and thought about how these stars have been impacted by the media. I honestly always thought the show was small enough that only Bravo fans followed the show anyhow - so why would most people care? 

This year everything changed, or maybe I changed. I started to feel badly for the cast members, seeing their changes in their mindset, witnessing intense conversations flow between humans interacting. 

It wasn't so much that the hate wasn't justified, I honestly started to see that people are normalizing this type of hate. We as humans have to stop normalizing this culture. That's how I feel anyway. 

After listening to this interview I thought, “Should I stop watching?” This week I am sharing a conversation with a few of my favorite ladies @peaceandwellnesstherapy who have a mental health practice. We’re chatting about all things relevant to mental health, and you for sure don't want to miss this. I just have to know - are you all continuing this reality TV train? Are you taking time away? Are you worried about how this is normalizing hateful language like this?

Do you feel aligned when it comes to your business?

Do you wake up in the morning and know exactly what you are going to share with your audience? 

Do you feel passionate about how you’re impacting your community? 

What holds you back from this if you’re not feeling positively about your answers to the questions above? 

This week we are chatting with Barbora, @flourish.with.b! Barbora utilizes Human Design to help her clients accept themselves just as they are today, so when they face a moment where they may be challenged, or not able to show up as their best selves, Barbora helps her clients make sense of their reactions or emotions based on their design. It's a beautiful way of discovering a part of yourself!

Dr. Joe says in this week's episode the longer we dismiss our money stories, the longer we allow the stories to grow - just like fish stories. 

The moment that we realize we have a story, a narrative around something, a belief, this could be directly affecting your income. Who would have thought that healing yourself would lead you towards more money? Most people think, “Push through, grind it out, find the sale and complete it.” But what if we did all of that - we tried pushing, we tried chasing, honestly, maybe we even tried not chasing, but the money and income still aren’t at the level we want? 

It's time to dive into your stories. Dr. Joe shares in this week's episode how an incident when he was young - much like an incident that any little kid would face, like having an accident in daycare - impacted the way he thought about himself, which was directly related to the amount of income he was making. It was actually stopping him from going for it, and - even worse - it was affecting him subconsciously, so he wasn't even aware of the impact that his fish story had. 

So what do we do? We know this healing journey takes time, but scarcity is creeping in. The more we hear about the economy on TV, the more we push, grind, TRY to make it work, it's not clicking. How do we step back and heal? In the midst of all of this?

My experience went like this - I knew I was having high blood pressure when I first started my business because of my fear around what I was doing. I would experience extremes when it came to stress - I would be paralyzed by it, and it would even impact how I was creating content, missing things, and losing concentration. 

But I kept ignoring it. I figured, “Once I have money I will be able to deal with it. Once I have money, I'll have all of the time in the world.” But then I got a diagnosis, and I was even more scared. Now I was fearing death. What if I wasn't around to see the money? What if I never made it to the successful moment to enjoy when I literally killed myself in order to achieve? 

That's when I realized I have been doing all of this backwards. I can’t create a business without addressing this stress, anxiety, and the fears that I ignored for the majority of my life because these habits were what was keeping me from actually getting what I wanted. What if I never could achieve what I actually wanted without addressing these first? 

I thought that's it! So what did I do….

I stopped chasing, and I started listening. Once I listened I implemented, I watched, I felt, I cried…a lot. And then I felt better, I felt clearer, and I could start doing my job better. Which people saw. I didn't have to even say it, I just had to show up, and there it was. The energy of being me was enough.

Patrick, the Host of The Gives Me Anxiety Podcast, shares with us his story of anxiety. He talks about his experience as a journalist, what he's learned from having other anxious leaders on his show, and how he’s utilizing communication to help and empower us from situations or things that may scare us. 

What I love about Patrick’s conversation this week is how the power of vulnerability brings communities together. We as people should share our fears, worries, and concerns. We start to see the similarities we all have, and it makes our fears less frightening when we all have the same fears, right?

When you think about marketing, try to think about having a conversation with your client or potential client one-on-one. When you think back to where your clients are, they may be 3, 4, or 5 steps behind you when it comes to your expertise. This is the biggest challenge my clients face when it comes to relating to their clients - we have to remember the journey and what it took to get us where we are today. We have to remember to meet our market where it is - when we don't, the marketing is information overload, your potential clients will become overwhelmed, and - worse - you might as well. The simple lessons can be shared through your marketing, and what is offered through your service will be your knowledge - the big needle movers.

This week we are highlighting Sales Coach @helenthacker! Helen helps her clients convert through content, Helen talks about how standing out online can be extremely challenging when you’re competing with almost 6 million people and posts across the globe. She talks about how to set yourself up as a credible industry leader, and why we are held back from staying consistent online - which most of the time is because of confidence. 

We are so caught up in thinking about what others might think we actually hinder ourselves from expressing what we actually think, how we truly work with clients, the list is endless. Be you and you will convert. Period. 

So tell us, have you been being your authentic self online?

Have you ever been on a webinar and thought to yourself - woah, I am way lost, or I am super behind when it comes to this type of skill? 

When I first started coaching and course creation back in 2019 I realized that inorder to create content that actually moves the needle for my clients I had to learn where they were starting. I had to slow down, and explain things in an easy digestible manner or I would lose them. I found myself jumping around or sharing pieces of advice that were too far along for someone that was just getting used to posting on Instagram. When we become experts in our space we at times we can alienate ourselves by over sharing. Which does not help our marketing at all. So this week we’re diving into discussions around how to know where your target audience's knowledge level begins. And guess what - like most of our weekly content, we have the same overarching solution - the answers lie within. 

First things first - we have to decide who we want to work with. Are we into working with people just entering into your area of knowledge, or have your clients dabbled in work like this before but needs to gain more in depth knowledge? Does your client already have support with what knowledge you're able to provide, but you help them curate and automate within your industry specialty? Once we have these answers, then we can start creating!

The Spiral of Workaholism is REAL. Let me tell you, I used to think the more I work, the more I stay busy, the more I will be able to get where I want to go. 

What I realized was the complete opposite. But here's the deal, it's hard to remember this! Especially as a perfectionist, we really truly believe that we are the only ones that know how to handle these tasks. 

For example I was getting ready to get on the plane a few weeks ago for my trip and disaster struck LOL. It’s social media, but it still felt like a complete nightmare to be dealing with - dramatic of me, but true! My client's account had been inundated with spam accounts, and we had to remove them in order to save her insights and all of the hard work we had put into it. Urgency was crippling me, I started to feel tears in my eyes. Then the thoughts began - of course this is happening when I am going away, can I just have one vacation? “What the hell,” I thought. 

This was the moment where I knew I had to ground myself. I asked for help. This was huge. Any other time something like this has happened I handled it because I thought that I would get it done faster by myself. But why? Is that even logical? Not really. Jayme, my lovely business manager, helped me. She assured me all is good, it’s all okay, they can handle this. 

Do you all struggle with this as well? The need to still be involved in every little task?
