I've got a bit of a different stance on that popular saying—you know the one, "Follow your passion"? Well, guess what? I disagree. I'm throwing a curveball your way because I believe there's something even more beneath the surface. (Hint: it’s your hidden talents and essence).

Passion vs. Hidden Gifts: Unraveling the Truth:

So, everyone says, "Follow your passion," but I'm here to tell you that I see things a bit differently. In this episode, we're going to embark on a journey to uncover the quiet, hidden gifts that reside within you. And trust me, these gems might not be the flashy passions you'd typically find on a resume. They're the subtle, powerful, and often overlooked talents that can be a game-changer in your journey and is the special ingredient that makes you extraordinary.

My Odd-End Jobs: Lessons in the Unlikely Places:

Let's get real about my journey. I've had some odd-end jobs in the past—seriously random gigs that you probably wouldn't believe! But here's the kicker: I used every single one of those experiences to shape who I am today. And, of course, I'm spilling the beans on these quirky jobs and how I connected the dots to where I am now—your friendly host at The Happy Healing Shop.

I’m tearing down the myth that passion is the only key to success and exploring your unique journey. By the end of this episode, I hope you will be inspired to uncover your quiet gifts, embrace your path, and tap into that special gift within you.

Ready for this journey of self-discovery? Let's dive in and uncover the unexpected treasures that make you shine. 🌟

Overcome Imposter Syndrome and Embrace Imperfection.

Today we're diving into a topic that's incredibly close to my heart—the journey of defeating imposter syndrome, navigating through pivots, and getting over those humps. And trust me, if you're someone who has ever grappled with the fear of not looking perfect or the anxiety of putting yourself out there, this one's for you.

I talk about the not-so-perfect aspects of our journeys, the fear of failure, and the thought of why anyone should listen to you. I shared some of my personal struggles, especially during my first-ever launch, and the crucial lesson I learned when looking back—it's all about connecting with people's fears and mastering that mindset game.

Here's a powerful truth bomb: the fear of not looking perfect or worrying about what others think is a universal struggle. It's the battle with imperfection that we all face. But, my friends, here's the game-changer—bringing YOU to the table. Your unique identity, your story, YOUR way of delivering a message—that's the secret (very underrated) ingredient.

So, grab your favorite beverage, get comfy, and let's unravel the layers of defeating imposter syndrome, navigating those pivotal moments, and embracing the imperfection that makes each of us extraordinary. Because remember, your unique story is your superpower.

I tell you straight up the three common mistakes many people make when embarking on their entrepreneurial journey. I’ve dealt with them personally and see it 100% in all my clients.

“Thanks to taking the class I am happy to announce I launched my spiritual website in December. Thank you. You have given me the confidence I so lacked.” - Lydia

In this episode, I talk about:

• **Defeating Self-Doubt and Developing Confidence:** There’s the often crippling self-doubt that can prevent ANY aspiring entrepreneurs from valuing their time, energy, and expertise. The question of "Am I good enough?" is a common hurdle. You can confidently put a price on your craft and services, even if you're not the top expert in your field.

• **How You Don't Need to Know Everything:** Learn how to shift your mindset and approach learning as part of the entrepreneurial journey.

• **Building Your Brand and Technical Aspects:** The technical side of launching a business can be intimidating, especially if you're not tech-savvy. There are creative ways you can handle various technical aspects of your business. 

• **The Misconception of Perfection:** From websites to logos and content creation, perfectionism can hinder progress. Learn why it's essential to test, tweak, and then launch.

• **The Power of Someone Looking Over Your Work and Feedback:** Entrepreneurship can be a lonely journey, and feedback from the right people is invaluable. This leads to personal growth, especially during the uncertain moments you run into and refinement of your offerings.

What values and purpose do traditions hold for you? Are there new traditions or activities that you started for yourself? Is there a place for the holiday in your heart? I would love to hear from you. 

I share the customs I grew up with and reflect on the holidays when I traveled around the world and saw others celebrate it and how it made me question what we do for holidays.
