Wake Up and Dream!

Quote: "How are you, really?" ~Jenna Kutcher

We get asked "how are you?" all the time, but when Kelly saw the book How are You, Really? her interest peaked, because of the last word, "really." The extra step in asking the second version is not something we tend to ask or be asked, but why? We have been conditioned to live our lives in a fast paced society where our attention span is about 30 seconds, and we don't give ourselves permission to get in touch with our feelings. When we realize that if we just vocalize our true feelings, even when they are scary or unsettling, we stop the "spin" in our heads and the thoughts actually lose some power.

This practice of asking "How are you, really?" can be very helpful when we ask it to ourselves, but it can also deepen our relationships when we ask this question.

So, during this episode, we want to challenge our listeners to ask this question, "How are you, really?" And allow yourself the time and space to explore the answer as you reflect and look inward. The will be liberating for you and also have a big impact on your key relationships as well.

If you are interested in going deeper on this topic, we encourage you to get Jenna Kutcher's book How are You, Really? You can find it on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/How-Are-You-Really-Living/dp/0063221942/ref=sr_1_1?crid=FDK58O42K6C2&keywords=how+are+you+really+jenna+kutcher&qid=1660271293&sprefix=how+are+you+%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-1

Quote: "Women need other women in their lives who think they are a big deal. No competition, No back-handed comments, no jealousy, no hate; just 'I love you and support you and there is no one in the world like you' kind of energy."

Today you are in for a treat, because we got to "hang out" with Suze Solari, a successful personal stylist with 25 years of design experience, helping professional women and entrepreneurs to find the clothes and accessories so they feel confident and in alignment with their brand. She is also an author and a twin mom, and you will love her energy.

So many times, we just don't have the time to really find and purchase the clothes we need to show up as our "next level self," and Suze has a proven set-by-step process she takes her clients through to help them identify what looks the best, but will also stand the test of time regarding style and quality. She gave us some great advice on how to take the items in our closet that we like and "re-create" them by adding a scarf or pairing them with a different colored pair of pants! For busy corporate professionals, working with Suze can take a lot of the stress and time factor out of the equation.

Suze would invite you, as our listeners, to join her Facebook Community where she goes LIVE once a week to share valuable tips and tricks on fashion and pairing clothes to maximize what you already have.

Quote: "Next time you feel like an imposter, remember that some of the most successful and impactful people in history were the most UNQUALIFIED to start. ~Cassie Schmidt

Imposter Syndrome is a real thing. It is when you have a dream or a vision of what you want to do with your life, and your mind comes up with all of the reasons why it is not possible. It tells you are not qualified, that you are a "fake" and that no one is really going to believe you. This inner talk keeps us thinking small, living in our comfort zone, and not stepping in our greatness. Lisa shares how she has been battling her "noisy roommate" when it comes to social media and her business. Some of the tips she has found beneficial are journaling and getting all the false beliefs out on paper, and taking an objective look at them. And the other big tip for defeating that "imposter syndrome" is taking action in the direction of your dreams, stepping out and doing "the scary" knowing in your heart of hearts that these actions are required for you to grow yourself and achieve your goals and dreams. It is stepping out in faith, and imagining all the good that will come from these actions. It is creating thoughts, feelings, and then actions that are in alignment with where you are going, and choosing to not stay stuck listening to the voices of "can't." And we need to understand that we are on a journey, and showing yourself compassion is key in this process of growth.

"Manage your mind in the moments of each day." ~Julie Ciardi

Parenting and raising kids is not easy and it can be a lot of work. In today's episode, we get an up close and personal look into Sara's life as she shares about a challenging parenting "scene" she had with one of her 6 year old twin boys. Our quote is " Manage your mind in the moments of each day," by Julie Ciardi, and you will be encouraged to know that we are not perfect at this, and we too are in process, but learning to manage our minds in the moment continues to be a huge benefit in our relationships, especially with our kids.

As moms, we want our kids to behave and grow up to be respectful, responsible adults, but the journey of growth is often messy. Sara shares this fact: The only person we can really control or manage is ourselves. Learning to respond and not react is something we can practice and get better at, but Lisa encourages us to realize we are not going to be perfect at this and to give yourself compassion in the journey. Kelly shares the importance of having a follow up conversation with our kids, when emotions have dissipated, so our kids can process and learn through these life experiences.

Remember, journaling can be a powerful way for you as a mom to process your feelings, but can also serve as a reminder of your progress in managing your mind in the moments! Be encouraged!

Quote: "The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away." Pablo Picasso

Today's episode will truly inspire you to not only discover your divine gifts, but make it your life's mission to then give them away. Marie Garcia, a successful wife, mom and Master Coach with Julie Ciardi's IGNITE Her Society and IGNITE Coach School is with us today, and she began her journey to discover her gifts as a young girl when she heard this quote and then asked her parents and friends what they thought her divine gifts were! How amazing, and at such a young age! As happens with so many of us, Marie lost sight of that when she fell into the path that society deems as the path to success: college, a corporate job, get married, start a family, and just stay in that pattern until retirement. Marie spent 13 years in "Corporate America" and was very successful and making a good income, but deep down she knew she was made for more. She knew that in that role she was not able to fully "give her gifts away." And this awakened the reminder of this quote and her pursuit to live out this purpose!

As you listen in to Marie's story, you will be inspired to pause and really allow yourself your gifts to surface, asking yourself the question, "What are my divine gifts? And how can I give them away?" Marie's example will awaken you to pursue a life with intention, purpose and one of great joy!

Quote: "Celebrate the small wins, because small wins build momentum."

Today we are celebrating Episode 20!!!! Thank you so much for listening in and subscribing to our podcast! We are SO grateful for YOU! To celebrate, we want to share our insights and encouragement around this quote, "Celebrate the small wins, because small wins build momentum."

During this episode, we want to encourage you to take the time to celebrate your small wins, and "enjoy the journey." We as women are quick to celebrate others, but why is it hard for us to celebrate our wins, our small steps towards our goals? Sara shared how she is planning on creating a "Jar of WINS" and adding a personal win each day! And Lisa also reminded us that what we focus on in our thoughts expands, so we want to be sure to focus on our small wins and not the lack, the failures, the disappointments, etc.

Be sure to listen in and let us encourage you to become aware of the progress you ARE making towards your goals and dreams.

Quote: "Action and overthinking can not exist together. You are either busy taking action or you are busy overthinking." by Sharat Sharma

This quote is a challenge for most people. We tend to overthink our decisions and stay in the thinking and planning mode, and that keeps us from moving towards our dreams. Sara and Kelly, as Enneagram 9's shared how having a heightened awareness around this topic has been very helpful. Taking action can be scary, but looking back we usually realize that what we were afraid of was nothing terrible, yet we spend so much time overthinking, worrying, and staying stuck in fear. For Lisa, as an Enneagram 2, the overthinking looks a little differently. It can show up as worrying about what people think of us. Kelly shared another quote that has helped her, "What people think of you is none of your business." Overthinking inhibits us from taking action. But there is HOPE! Awareness of our "default settings" and our current thinking, and choosing to TAKE ACTION anyway will put you on the "road" to your dreams and your growth.

We love you, our listeners, and want to encourage you to TAKE ACTION. Don't overthink it! Just GO FOR IT! Start creating the life you truly desire, one action step at a time!

Quote: "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm." ~Winston Churchill

During this episode, Kelly, Sara and Lisa dive into a challenging quote by Winston Churchill, "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm." We as humans tend to see failure in a negative light, but as you will learn, this doesn't not have to be your mindset! Sara shares how redefining success is the first mindset shift. She quotes Earl Nightengale, "Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal (or goal)." So releasing the timeline often helps shift that view of failure, but also understanding that failure is mandatory in your journey to success.

Kelly shares that failure is only true when we choose to quit; failure is really growing and learning. Lisa shares how having a clear vision of our BIG goal can help her keep our enthusiasm even in the midst of a perceived failure in her direct sales journey. We hope that you are inspired and encouraged to step out, try new things, see failure as a necessary step towards reaching the goals and dreams that are important to you, and keep going!

Quote: "You can't just give up on someone because the situation is not ideal. Great relationships are not great because they have no problems. They are great because both people care enough about the other person to find a way to make it work."

If you have ever struggled with a relationship or felt stuck in a host of thoughts that were not getting you the results you wanted in your relationship, this episode is for YOU! Today, we chatted with Geovanna and Yvette of YGC Relationship Coaching and boy oh boy did we learn some great things! We explored how what they do in coaching their clients differs from traditional counseling or therapy. Our lively discussion included how much of what we think in our minds (or should we say assume) is not accurate, yet this "noisy roommate" keeps telling us the same lies so often that these thoughts seem true and real. Their coaching is unique because the focus is in guiding their clients to work on themselves; their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and attitudes. Their goal is to help their clients become and evolve into the best version of themselves, for themselves; to deepen their understanding of their worthiness, to uncover their desires and what is most important to them. And all of this self awareness has a dramatic, positive affect on the health of their relationships. We hope you love this episode, and feel free to share it with anyone you know that may be struggling in their relationships.

Quote:"To attain true inner freedom, you must be able to objectively watch your problems instead of being lost in them." ~Michael Singer

In this episode, Sara, Kelly and Lisa dive deep into a quote that reveals some profound truths. This quote is from a book that Sara is currently reading called the Untethered Soul by Michael Singer. What does it mean to "objectively watch your problems?" And what role does your "inner roommate" play in keeping you lost in your problems. The inner thoughts and "voices" of our self talk can lie to us and hold us back from our true potential. Listen in as Kelly, Lisa, and Sara share real life situations where their "inner roommate" has clouded their objectivity and some of the tools and resources they have utilized and benefited from in their journey to "true inner freedom."

The book The Untethered Soul, by Michael Singer is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Untethered-Soul-Journey-Beyond-Yourself/dp/1572245379/ref=sr_1_2?crid=SS238V6PCI3D&keywords=the+untethered+soul&qid=1652413923&sprefix=The+u%2Caps%2C226&sr=8-2
