Season 1: Final Show

Here's the Power Seat's challenge:

"I am three years into my business. I'm literally up and down, feeling positive and negative all the time.

I'm trying to overcome the lows when they happen. Trying to figure out what I need to do to sustain feeling good.

I get busy, busy, busy, then it slows down.

I am trying to figure out how to not let my self-doubt creep in.

I am trying to even out my upwards and downwards roller coaster feelings.

How do I keep it even? 

How do I give myself the momentum to even it out? To keep me feeling good about what I am doing?"

Tune into the Episode 18, to hear how other women have navigated similar experiences, from which we all get to choose what resonates and what we want to be intentional about doing differently moving forward.

Here's the Power Seat's challenge:

"My life is such a state of transition.

I sold my house, sold sign went up yesterday, literally the movers are in my house today.

I don't have a place to live.

I have two kids and I will be an empty nester in the fall.  I am not sure where my daughter will go to university here or abroad, so she technically doesn't have a place to live.

I had a corporate job my entire life but I am now running my own business part time, not sure what I want.

I have the job thing to figure out.

I recently reunited with an old boyfriend I've known for 26 years that lives in another country.

I am not sure if I'll move there.

I have so many unknowns.

The only thing I am certain about is that my dog will be coming with me wherever I go.

Friends say I'm crazy to not have figured everything out before I did this. It's very confusing.

I'm excited in some ways to design next phase of my life. There's lots of options and how cool is that. I'm a dual citizen so I can relocate.

But I'm feeling fear.

Will I regret everything? Have I made the biggest mistake I've ever made?

The story I'm making up is that I'm an idiot. I should have been more thoughtful about this.  Have I screwed up my kids' lives?

Now they don't have a home. I made that all go away.

I feel frightened.

How I… believe, trust that this process will all work out, even when I don't know what the final state will be?

How can I stay positive and faithful that everything will work out for me and my kids?

Here's the Power Seat's challenge:

"Well I am struggling with work things.

I am professionally trained to be a certain thing, which is obvious to people and an easy job to have, vs my entrepreneurial side which has to be justified to people a lot more than my job.

I am responsible for my family and so it would be very easy to flip back to my job, but I don't know that it's necessarily what would serve me and my family.

It has a glass ceiling for professional growth and income, where my entrepreneurial venture could be far more lucrative but is unpredictable and I don't have the regular pay check. 

What I do have is flexibility to be there for my family when I need to be there and from a financial limit, the sky is the limit.

I really struggle with people's opinions.

It would be easy to go back and I did take a contract this fall to give it a whirl. It was a really good litmus test for my family.

It made me appreciate that I may not be prepared to go back and work my job.

How do I stop listening to all that chatter.  People's opinions. Everyone feels like they can weigh in.

And it is also perception. I need to stop allowing people's perceptions make me doubt what I know could be."

Here's the Power Seat's challenge:

"My challenge is with my kids.

I go from 0-100 in no time.

I can lose my sh#t so quickly with them.

The feelings is that if any one of you were in my house I'd be mortified.

I am ashamed sometimes. Embarrassed if anyone would hear me.

I know the trigger moments. I will be thinking about them, prescribing what I need to do differently, like take my few breaths, but when it doesn't go according to plan, I lose it.

I will say to the kids, in 'that voice'. You know they've just dropped a load in their pants.

Then when they are asleep I go and look at their adorable faces and feel guilt and shame.

So my question is.

In that moment,

How do I…not go there?

How do I navigate that?"

Here's the Power Seat's challenge:

"The feelings I am having are of loneliness.

I am feeling unconnected to the world.

I'm not a Facebook user and am terribly disconnected from everyone that does.

I have no idea what my friends are doing. I feel disconnected in a technological way.

Ironically, I'm totally connected in a business way, on LinkedIn.

So my motivation has been around my business network, not my social network.

I'm just feeling really disconnected.

I'm feeling lonely and like I'm not connecting in the right way.

How do you get on to this and do it the right way.

I'm not a picture taker, my husband takes the pictures.

I have nothing to share.

How do I… get connected?

I am missing opportunities to connect with my social network."

Here's the Power Seat's challenge:

"We just moved, well not really it's been about 2 years.

We moved from LA.

We don't know anybody, we have no family here.

We moved here to basically give our children a better life but it's bee supper challenging professionally.

My husband basically still works in LA and commutes.

The kids are great. They love living here but it's really hard to meet new people. To break into the city.

A challenge we've all had.

How do I make friends? How do I find my people? How do I not feel so disconnected?

I am feeling frustration, gratitude, happy to be here, but I'm feeling challenged.

We are different.

We don't fit into the box.

I think for us how do we stay authentic to ourselves and feel connected to others?

How do we remain authentic and not change?"

Here's the Power Seat's challenge:

"I have worked in my industry since I was really young.

I've had a very blessed career, but I've had a very difficult year, where clearly one of my handicaps has come to the forefront which is that I really struggle with confrontation.

Oddly in my careers, I came into a position where I was able to be a leader, early on, and so haven't had to have a tone of confrontations.

This year I have had two confrontations, that the other people have probably had several times in their careers and in business.

For me, I think it really shut me down, more than it should have.

I gave up things that I really shouldn't have, to avoid the conflict.

In every way I am trying to bring my daughter not to be, I am that.

How do I ….. move forward in a way that allows me to enter conflict, deal with it and come out with it. Manage it in a way that isn't about running away from it or avoiding it.

I had the world's biggest opportunity and now I've lost the show, specifically about not stepping into the conversation.

How do I manage this in the future and not lose it again.

Here's the Power Seat's challenge:

"I have been an entrepreneur for over 10 years. I have also taken a few corporate gigs along the way.

I have been finding, and I don't know if it's me telling myself stories, but I certainly know there are times when I'm not making it up. 

I look young and when I'm in a room with directors and above which are usually all men - it's like I'm not even at the table.

Sometimes I feel like I always have to prove myself and because I am always proving myself it looks like I am bitchy or too direct.

If a man did the same things, they'd say "wow he's going for it".

I am small in stature, I look young and it feels s like they look at me and I don't fit, so they create an opinion of me.

A lot of times I am the most qualified person in the room to answer the question.

The story I am making up is that sometimes it's even futile to try.

Often when I am in a sea of men, the men in the room often look at my business partner for answers when I am the expert.

HOW DO I gain confidence with the audience, really quickly so I can show up as someone worth listening to?

So, today's episode is a little different.

I am the only one at the table, sharing my perspectives about the way too many of us choose to speak to ourselves.

I see it in my day-to-day, as well as in my recordings for this Podcast.

There's an epidemic in the way we choose to speak to ourselves and it's not cool.

It doesn't serve to speak to ourselves the way we do.

There's an urgency in this topic for me because I believe that our beliefs become our reality.

Seeing as we talk to ourselves all day long, this creates a huge opportunity to choose our words wisely.

We only stand to benefit from choosing to think about ourselves with kindness, positivity and open possibilities.

Tune in to Episode 10 to hear how I chose to shut down my incredibly unkind inner voice and the following 3 ways that you can start being kinder to yourself, today. Don't put it off.

1| Just be You.

We seem to forget that all of the pictures in magazines are photoshopped. Our social media feeds are curated to only share images of A games. 

What does comparing yourself to others bring to you?

Nothing good I'd suspect.

When we start to be kind to ourselves and love ourselves, just the way we are – it's such a powerful gift.  I dare you to actually take it one step further and choose to be happy for the person sharing the post.

When I feel jealousy or judgment coming up, I literally say to myself "It looks like she's having fun – Full stop"

If you don't think it's possible – bullshit. Here's an incredible woman to follow on Insta named Turia Pitt who exudes confidence, has an amazing sense of humour, and is a gift to this earth. 

2 | Say "thank you".

When someone gives you a compliment, accept it and own it. Take a moment to appreciate it. Say thank you. 

Stop deflecting, downplaying, or negating compliments. It's crazy how often we do this on autopilot because of the stories we've told ourselves our entire lives – like not wanting to appear that we have an ego, are full of ourselves, or we think we're better than others, etc.

Just take a breath, and say thanks.

3 | 24 Hour Challenge   

For the next 24 hours I challenge you to be hyper aware of your thoughts. 

Every time you are having a negative thought, pause and choose to reframe – to choose something with humour, grace or kindness.

For this challenge, I dare you to even track the number of times, when you choose to reframe during the 24 hours, and notice the impact of your choices.

You'll know you are in a negative thought simply because you'll feel it. Don't worry, negative thoughts are allowed  to surface, but it's how we chose to respond to them that is the game changer.

If you are a parent, an aunt or influence young minds around you, an incredible exercise is to actually share the experiences of choosing to reframe. 

To role model that adults do have negative thoughts, and that we get to choose to reframe, they don't have to be our truths.  I was only ever role modeled that adults don't make mistakes and don't have internal rollercoasters.

For example, I am writing this in the morning and so far I've chosen to reframe twice – in spite of the fact that reframing is my new autopilot response, I too still have to be really intentional about it.

On my morning, delightful 6am walk, (which I would say fuels my ability to reframe,)

I was feeling anxious about an upcoming big and bold project, what if people don't come, I can't fill the room, etc….Instead of spiralling down the rabbit hole, I chose to change my thought and to find a new and empowering perspective that ended up changing my energy about the whole thing.

I reminded myself that my "come from" is always about being in service and that's what I am doing. That this project is something I will regret in the long run if I never try, to trust that I have nothing to lose, and to proceed with joy and curiosity.

My new perspectives were so much more productive than my critical thinking.

It all comes down to our choices.

Think about what's possible if you truly start to stop the mean, critical or negative voice in your head.

So much!

Thank you so much for tuning in.

I am so grateful that you have come to listen. Truly, the whole experience of launching Your Power Tribe Podcast wound't have happened if I hadn't started to choose to speak kindly to myself.
