Recently, people praised me for my positive attitude ‘cause I fell off a horse, fractured a couple of vertebrae and am choosing to live the question, “What are the gifts in this?” That praise actually pissed me off… and led me to create this episode where I explore the limitations of positivity and what else is possible when we go beyond that to make pragmatic choices about how we view and create our lives?

The inspiration for this episode came from my horseback riding lesson the other day. 

My four-legged ‘teacher’ taught me a great lesson about LEADERSHIP… and how I was unconsciously being the follower. 

How often in life and business are we unconsciously being the follower? Allowing other people’s points of view to dictate and limit our choices? 

What else is possible when choosing to be the LEADER of your life and business instead, starting right now?

What if our definitions of vulnerability themselves are what keep us from being willing to choose it more? What if there’s a different possibility with being vulnerable that you may never have considered before? And what if that different possibility could allow you to ask for more than you ever may have asked for… with gratitude and a willingness to receive whatever and however it shows up? Even if it shows up as a “No” or in some other way? Get ready to go beyond the fear of rejection and exposure and into the heart of intimacy with this episode.

We’ve learned to view ‘surrender’ as a weakness, since one definition of the word describes it as giving up to another who has more power or authority over us. In an attempt to avoid this weakness at all costs, we try to control everything. But what does that actually create for us in our lives and businesses, relationships and beyond? What if surrender can be a strongness, not a wrongness? What if so much more is available to us when we choose to surrender our points of views? Our control? Our defenses? I used to fear that surrender would lead to the complete obliteration of me. Yet I’ve discovered that surrender can actually be the liberation of me. Perhaps for you, too? Listen in and see for yourself: what else is possible with surrender now?

(4:27) Becoming control freaks

"The universe has your back, consciousness has your back, what if they really can unfold more than you can imagine?"

How often do you apologize for yourself? How much does the fear of other people’s judgments hold you back from being fully self-expressed? A little? A lot? And how fun is that? Living life constricted and contracted, attempting to fit into a box others put you in? Feeling guilty and ashamed for who you truly are? Yeah. It’s not any fun, is it? Which is why I invite you into living and being unapologetically you. Join me for a rich exploration into what it takes to truly live this way. ‘Cause really... how much more fun, freedom and fulfillment is available to you when you choose to be unapologetically you? (My sense is... SO MUCH MORE! What’s your sense?)

1:19) Being unapologetically you

(5:00) Prioritizing yourself

(11:15) Impulsive behavior

It is not your job to live up to anyone else's projections, expectations, judgments, of who you should be and who you should not be.

You can decide to live your life avoiding judgment or recognize it’s just an energy that's not going to kill you.

Women entrepreneurs have confessed to me that they’re afraid to speak up, express their true voice and be as powerful as they sense they truly are. “I want to be more visible but I hold myself back,” they tell me. “It’s dangerous.” I myself used to believe that it was dangerous for me if I inhabited my body and my turn on. So for the longest time, I unconsciously chose not to inhabit either. What if there’s a totally different perspective on “being dangerous” that will set you free? It set me free… and now I can’t wait to share it with you.

(2:23) Prioritizing what makes you happy

(5:10) Imposter syndrome

(16:40) Afraid of being judged

(20:19) Acknowledging yourself

We destroy the status quo with our unique perspectives, approaches to life and by creating our relationships, business and body.

How have fear and doubt been holding you back, and how do you feel fear and doubt in your body?

How much fun can you have being dangerous? How much fun can you have receiving other people's judgments?

What the heck does this word have to do with you as a woman entrepreneur, creating your life and business? Everything! Abracadabra, loosely translated, means, "I create with my words.” What is it that you’re creating with your words? Are you using words that limit - or liberate - you?

(1:30) What does abracadabra mean?

(7:20) Giving a gift to yourself

(8:40) Messages in water

(12:52) What words are you using to create your reality?

(33:20) Freebie alert!

(37:25) The story you've been telling yourself about yourself

If you're telling yourself the stories, “I suck” and “I'm not enough,” guess what? Everyone else is picking up on that.

What might it create for you if you got more present with the words you use to talk to yourself about yourself?
