Thrive Hive Podcast

Hello, Podsters! I’ve been noticing recently that every woman I’m working with, particularly in  ⁠Speaker School⁠- EVERY ONE has one thing in common. It doesn’t matter if they want to share their stories on stage, host workshops, write books, or simply live their truth; there is ONE common thread between everyone.

It’s the power of their story.

So today, we are diving in.  Head first into the TRUE WHY for your story.  Your goals.  Your dreams.  WHY is THIS THING so important?  And why is that why so important?

Today I’m taking you through the “why” exercise which you may remember from several months back.  I use this exercise with every one-on-one client and each time – the ultimate result is the same.  It doesn’t matter how we get there, or how much resistance comes to the surface – EVERY TIME, we end up with an epiphany which reveals the true “why” behind this desire the change.  This why becomes your True North and propels you forward when you consider giving up.

So, Podsters today we will explore your “why” and this new awareness will help you live your truth.

Because once you tap into your “why”, you will NEVER look back.

Hey Podsters, today is about REMEMBERING WHO YOU ARE.

Why is this important? Because when you show up as someone other than yourself, when you lose your way, when you can’t find your True North - you get stuck. You spiral. You show up without joy. And Podsters - that’s not fun for anyone.

Today I’m walking you through an exercise to help you get back to you. To go back to your True North. This exercise will help you find YOU so you can authentically and confidentially show up for yourself and experience more joy.

We start with honing in on your values. Your values are your compass. They guide you back to you when things get uncomfortable or misaligned.

So buckle up, we are going deep into your core values so that you can show up for yourself again and again and again.

GRAB YOUR FREE VALUES EXERCISE HERE.

I walk you through this process today and if you don’t have time to grab the tool - I’ve got you! All you need is a pen and a piece if paper and I’ll take you through finding your True North.

Until next time, keep it real, stay true to you, and Podsters, Peace out!

Get ready to unleash your inner powerhouse as we uncover the secrets to overcoming imposter syndrome, fear of being seen, and other limiting beliefs.

Together we kick imposter syndrome to the curb, embrace being seen and step boldly into the spotlight.

I’m serving up an oldie, a goodie, and a quickie, Podsters! Get ready for a treat as we revisit one of our most popular episodes: 'Letting Go of What's No Longer Serving You,' featuring the fabulous Beth Knauss, co-founder of Unmute Yourself podcast.

It's a quickie, but boy, do we pack a punch as we dive into the art of purging and letting go—be it people, places, things, habits, or beliefs. Because sometimes, making space for the new requires shedding the old.

I'll be back with a bang next week and in the meantime, I'm taking a quick break to recharge and recalibrate.

Until next, Podsters, remember to let go of what no longer serves you. Peace out!

OK Podsters, today we are diving headfirst into optimism and reinvention.

Picture this: you, yes, YOU, as the architect of your future, armed with nothing more than the belief that you DESERVE the life you are seeking and a little dash of courage, ready to create that life that says to the world, "I'm here, and I'm fantastic!"

Let's cut to the chase. Age, background, limiting beliefs, these are barriers (created by you, by the way) simply waiting to be bulldozed by your determination. That's right, whether you're fresh out of college or seasoned like a fine cabernet, the power to reinvent yourself is available to you.

ON TWO CONDITIONS:

1: You believe that you can reinvent yourself at any time.

2: You are willing to invest the time and you have the chops to go after it.

That’s right, Podsters, stepping into the life you know is out there for you is not only about desire and determination. You MUST tap into some of that mindset magic. Our minds will seek what we think, confirmation bias to its core. What you believe WILL shape your reality as long as you are willing to put the work into making it happen.

What vision do you have for your future?

Think of this like a crystal ball that shapes reality itself. Believe in the possibilities, and watch as the universe conspires in your favor.

Remember, you're not just curating a future; you're crafting a legacy that'll make heads turn and jaws drop.

Hey, Podsters! Today we are talking about a topic that hits close to home for many of us: BURNOUT.

Now, before you roll your eyes and think, "I've heard it all before," you might want to stick around because you could be in the middle or approaching burnout, and thinking you’re just tired.

Still doubtful?  Would you be shocked if I told you nearly 50% of women reported experiencing burnout even BEFORE  the pandemic?

Here’s why I’m bringing this topic to you today and it’s still a little raw for me.  A few weeks back, I hit a rough patch. Despite my usual “glass half full” optimism - I found myself feeling drained, unable to catch up on my energy and walking around with a consistent case of the blahs.  Eventually I realized that I wasn’t simply tired or lacking vitamin D.

I was burnt out.

And if it happened to me, I know it's happening to others too.

Now, burnout isn't just about feeling tired or overworked. It could show up for you as exhaustion, overwhelm, cynicism, lack of motivation, or detachment from the things that used to bring us joy.  Perhaps all at the same time. Yikes.

What many people like us don’t realize as we “power through” is that is left unaddressed, burnout can last weeks, months and even years.

So buckle up - as it’s time to check yourself before you wreck yourself!

The best way to deal with burnout is to avoid it in the first place and here are three things you can do now to avoid or bring f yourself out of this undesirable state of being.

So Podsters, if you're feeling the burn, know that you're not alone. With the right tools and support, you can overcome burnout and thrive once again.

Spring is here—a perfect time for a reset, renewal and self-care.

You are your brand. Your brand is you. Your brand never sleeps. It's not just about the clothes you wear but also how you carry yourself and the message you convey to the world. On the plane, in line for coffee, picking up your kids – every day you create your own opportunity when you show up on brand, and today we should you how to align your personal style with your brand identity.

Get ready to unleash your inner style icon and become the unforgettable force you were meant to be.

I got hit with a sucker punch, Podsters and here’s what happened.

I threw a curveball at a trusted colleague by asking him to share the unfiltered truth with me about how I’m perceived by a specific group of people.

I asked him, thinking that I knew the answer.  Hey, I’m self-aware.  I know my faults; I know where I need to improve and I’m already working on myself!  Lucky for me, my buddy didn't sugarcoat it.  And while his response was not what I was expecting, he did me a huge favor by giving it to me straight.   I now know exactly what I’m facing as I work towards changing these perceptions.

Imagine if I hadn't asked.

I could've been living in la-la land, thinking everything's great, my message is crystal clear, people know who I am and continuing on with that same narrative.  While out there, people were making assumptions about me and my messaging was NOT resonating.   Ouch.

Think about your career and your goals.  Are you skipping the uncomfortable feedback? Are you assuming (like I did) that you’ve been doing this so long, people MUST know the real you?

IGNORING YOUR BLIND SPOTS IS A CAREER DERAILER.

When you receive feedback that’s hard to hear or that you weren’t expecting – two things can happen.   One, you hear a real truth and you can then own it, address it, and come back stronger.

Or two, what you’re hearing is a perception and they are seeing you through their own reality. Their truth.  Which may be very different than yours.  Manage that perception, and you're in the clear. But remember, their perception is their reality, not necessarily yours.

Not so easy.  Here’s how you can overcome a perception:

Debunk the idea or have an open conversation.  Thoughtfully and unemotionally address the assumptions (even if they are incorrect) and if someone's dodging your olive branch, don’t stress. You made the effort. You took the high road.  And if and when that negative feedback resurfaces - you can remain confident in who you are because you know you did the right thing.

Bottom line? Embrace the feedback, whether it's legit or not, because knowing how people perceive you is your golden ticket to accessing your next level. No one grows by only looking at the good things – we grow by understanding and embracing our imperfections.
