Your Next Chapter

Many of you might be wondering well, aren’t we all being our true selves out in the world?

Well actually, most people walk around pretending they are something that they are not. They might even have convinced themselves that what they pretend to be is actually true. We all know people like that, and some might even be in your family!

Often, the pretending is obvious, but for others, the real person is more hidden behind layers or curtains of “stories” they have created and shown to the world.

I think you are starting to see a pattern here and what I want you to pay attention to is that … ideas lead to more ideas, which eventually lead to making the BIG idea happen.

We need all those little ideas that feed off of each other in order to create or make those BIG ideas happen.

I named my magazine Be the Real You because it became my mission that all women have the confidence to step into their real and true selves. My courses, this podcast and now my magazine are all about supporting women like you to be the real you. 

When you are brave enough to be who you really are, your choices, decisions and even your ideas become clearer. You’ll also find that your self-confidence grows as you embrace and show up as your true and authentic self. I’ve even had the audacity to call my mission The Women’s Authenticity Movement!

This is Episode 28: Which I titled “I feel the earth move under my feet”, but unlike Carole King, I’m not talking about a lover the composer was writing about in her famous song.

I’m talking about life changes … and specifically how change shakes up your world and feels like the earth is moving under your feet.

Remember, it isn’t your BIG dream that unsettles you, it’s taking actions towards the dream that shakes up your world.  That is why lots of people never make their dreams happen.

Today we're doing something a little bit different, and that is we are going to talk with Mimi Blue, who is the founder and editor of Paris-based Belle Inspiration Magazine. She talks about how she moved to Paris for love and created an entirely new business - Mimi is reinvention in action. Enjoy! 

Letting go of regrets is hard. Really hard. I struggle with letting go of regrets myself. Honestly, it requires some hard work, but the benefit is life shifting!

A couple of reasons why we sometimes can’t let go of what could have been or wish had been. First, those thoughts are familiar, and we are comfortable with whatever is familiar even if it is super disempowering.

And second, and much more important is that if a regret just keeps on coming up, there is usually some sort of deeper, unresolved issue that’s causing you to not be able to let go of it.

Today we’re going to talk about dreaming and living BIG and why it’s easy to dream big, but so very difficult to live big. For now, let’s enter dreamland. It’s a lovely place, isn’t it? I think we all become completely jazzed seeing ourselves inside our dreams, one year, five years, even ten years from now.

Dreaming Big is most often easy. It’s the Living Big that is hard. Living big requires that today, you ask yourself, what am I doing?

It requires that you prioritize your goals for each day because TIME is a limited commodity. Living Big requires you to constantly be self-aware enough to ask yourself whether you are making choices that each day bring you a little closer to your big dreams and if not, make the needed adjustments.

Mindset issues are untrue beliefs that disempower you. Most often these beliefs are unconscious, and unless you work with them to expose their falseness, they will guide you to make disempowering decisions and actions.

Doing nothing is disempowering. Staying quiet when someone takes credit for your work is disempowering. Not asking for what you want is disempowering. If any of these sounds like you, at the root of these disempowering actions are untrue beliefs you have about yourself. These are mindset issues ladies.

If ditching corporate and starting something of your own is continually in your thoughts and yet you are taking no action, you first, need to identify what you are really afraid of.

Peel back the onion of fear and get to what you are really, really afraid of. This means you have to be totally and completely honest with yourself and willing to almost objectively observe your deepest fears. It is the fears that are keeping you from taking any action.
