"Aren't you too young?" If you've ever heard this question or any derivative of it in your life, than you need to listen to this episode. Today we've got Jackie Kossoff on the podcast - a marketing strategic and success coach! Jackie and I vibe hard on being very achievement and strategy driven, but in this podcast we talk about all the things. If you're an entrepreneur, we talk about some of the common entrepreneur struggles. If you're big into strategy and how to more effectively achieving the things you want in your life, we dig into strategy and finding the best strategy for you. And if you're someone who has ever been told that you age is a hindrance to you getting what you want in your life, particularly if you've been told you're "too young", we dig into how to debunk the "too young" myth, how your age benefits you, and how to find power and motivation in all that you've learned in your life.

Yes, in this episode I totally use an 8 mile reference to make a point. Chock it up to my time living in Michigan or the fact that I can rap "Lose Yourself" #partytrick, but I actually think it makes the point quite well about why we self-deprecate so freely, the purpose that serves in our lives and why it's SO hard to get out of our damn HEADS! For all my people-pleasers, perfectionists and negative nancies out there, this one is for you. I'm going to give some examples of the seemingly innocent self-deprecating comments we make, why we make them and WHY it's such a PROBLEM! Plus my 3 steps to help you ditch that shitty mindset and GET OUT of your own damn head!  For show notes, head to coachellyn.com/podcast and be sure to head to coachellyn.com/transform for a FREE coaching session.

Welcome back to another AMAZING interview this time featuring Anna-Kate Blackford. She’s got a hell of story. In the span of a year and a half, she was fired from her dream job working for a production company, there was a traumatic family tragedy, a devastating illness, substance abuse, and so much more. This is one of those stories where you might catch yourself wondering, how do you emerge from that in joy? And she doesn’t sugarcoat some of the emotions of it. In this episode, we run the gamut of subjects, from realizing a firing may have been the best thing to happen in her career, to the importance of stopping, slowing down and simplifying when getting back on track in life and the importance of CHOOSING to find the meaning, the joy and the happiness in grief. This is a long one, but it’s worth it, friends!  For show notes, head to coachellyn.com/podcast and be sure to head to coachellyn.com/transform for a FREE coaching session.

Ever had an identity crisis?! I have after I blew my knee out in soccer, after I had to finally stop playing, after leaving my PhD and then leaving science in 2017...each time it felt like a hit to my identity. Some identities stick with us forever in a great way....but others can be DEBILITATING AF and come to define who we are in not-so-positive ways. But we ARE NOT our labels. We are SO MUCH MORE! In this episode, we're going to talk labels, how they can make us feel stuck, and how to switch up your mindset to get through any identity crisis you might be struggling with.

This is a MUST LISTEN, CONTENT-PACKED episode! I'm so pumped to have Emily Heidt on today's podcast. She's an editor, writer, writing coach and founder of Elysian storytelling. But, more so than that she's someone who believes to her very core that we all have stories to tell and is passionate about helping others do that. In this episode, we talk why we need to tell our stories, how we connect through stories, perfectionism, comparison and labels and how all 3 can hold us back by living and boldly telling our story. It's a jam packed episode and was an amazing conversation and I'm so pumped to share it!

 What does doing it “right” mean? That was exactly the question that inspired Ariel Upton, a digital marketer who founded her own marketing consulting practice, to start her business TODAY I DID IT RIGHT. Inspired by her profound connection with her mentor and guru in life, Betsy Tomlinson, Ariel Upton is committed to helping others do “it” right, but not by her definition - by yours! In today’s episode, we talk about what it MEANS to do life right, the importance of finding a mentor and the right mentor for you, and the importance of connection in all it’s different facets in our lives. This conversation was AMAZEBALLS, friends, and I cannot wait to share it with you! 

Today is one of those days for some #realtalk, because I KNOW that going after your goals and chasing your dreams isn't all positive vibes! There are so many negative emotions that can come up to. Even if we REALLY want something, are REALLY working for a goal, really WANT to make a change, we can still feel overwhelmed, embarrassed about sharing that goal, guilty, and face a lot of fear. What do we do when we face those emotions? I know, when I was dealing with them, I somehow thought that I was alone in feeling these things because everyone else looked SO CONFIDENT on social media. So SURE of themselves. And I wasn't. So, was it just me? Well, I recorded this episode to not only show you that NO, it's not just you, that these feelings are totally normal, that they're part of the process and to also give you some tangible tips and tools to help you navigate these negative emotions. Cuz it's not all positive vibes...I know that babe! And I want to help you work through the negative!

I'm so excited to welcome to the podcast someone who has been so crucially important to my life and who was instrumental into introducing me to the coaching world! Meet Jacki Kouba - former plan-less college student turned corporate recruiter who finally followed her dreams of creating a life of more freedom by creating a booming network marketing business! Yes - network marketing and Beachbody play a big part in her story, but that is not what our conversation is about today! Jacki and I talk comparison - particularly to her badass best friend Kacia, who you heard from in episode 25 - and the effects it can have if you let it, the importance of falling in love with the process and make it FUN AF as well as embracing the messy behind-the-scenes that we ALL have! I love this girl so much and I hope you love her too!

This is one of those topics that has come up a LOT lately in my life. Partially because we're talking all about habits in the Academy this month but also because it was one of the focuses of last week's NLP life coach training. The notion that everything we do has a positive intention behind it. I'm not going to lie, I resisted this idea A LOT. How can smoking have a positive intention? How can war have a positive intention? There are so many things in our lives that are seemingly SO NEGATIVE! Well, I hate to break it to you, but they do. And today I'm going to break down WHY that is and why it's so important for us to realize!
