16

Hi, I'm so happy to be here.
I'm delighted to have you here
17
00:00:57,500 --> 00:00:59,100
now.
Many of the guests that I have
18
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:02,300
on this show, I've Elected
because they embody the Phoenix
19
00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:06,100
rising from the ashes.
And you are absolutely that
20
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:09,300
overcoming trauma and hardships
is not easy.
21
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:12,300
And so the more that I shine a
light on how others did it, I
22
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:15,000
believe it will help Inspire
others to find their own
23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000
strength to persevere and Thrive
as well.
24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,400
So I'd love for you to tell us
what you were like in those
25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,700
early dark days and what your
wake-up call was mmm.
26
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:25,400
Yeah.
So I'm going to start with the
27
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,300
last part of that question.
First, my wake-up call,
28
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:32,300
actually, as you in Introduce
me, was that third arrest?
29
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:35,300
That was the moment where
everything changed for me.
30
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:38,900
I woke up in the medical unit at
the county jail.
31
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:43,600
And there was a moment where I
stood up and I Met Myself and My
32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,500
Eyes in the mirror.
And I always say that like a
33
00:01:46,508 --> 00:01:49,900
mirror changed my life.
And so I became one and that was
34
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:54,900
the moment to where I had to
take responsibility for where I
35
00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:59,500
was, and the life that I had
created was a product of my own
36
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:02,000
choice.
Is and while it was definitely
37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,800
you know very much a punch in
the gut to take that
38
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:10,100
responsibility it also you know
with awareness comes change and
39
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:14,400
I took my power back in that
moment by saying if you created
40
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,600
this result what can you create
if you choose differently and so
41
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,600
that was my wake-up call I
didn't want to live like that
42
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,400
anymore and I knew that with the
path that I was on that.
43
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:30,500
I probably would not have lived
much longer and so I chose to To
44
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:34,000
change my entire life.
I mean that in every single
45
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,700
aspect I was so scared.
I didn't know you know I had
46
00:02:39,700 --> 00:02:44,000
built this life around partying,
I was a bartender.
47
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,100
It was all that I really knew
was that kind of social life.
48
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:51,300
You know I love people and being
around people and I knew that I
49
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:54,400
was going to lose all my friends
and I, you know, I was so scared
50
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,000
of that and so scared of all the
change that I would have to
51
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,700
make, but in those early days
and those dark Days when I was
52
00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:05,500
in a very, very deep and dark
Valley, I always remembered
53
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:09,000
there being some sort of glimmer
of hope that like, there is
54
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,700
something there that is bigger.
I didn't know what I was meant
55
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:15,800
for or where I was going or how
exactly I was going to get
56
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,200
there.
But I knew that there was
57
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,700
something else and that's a big
part of like why I do what I do
58
00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:24,900
now.
But in those stages what was
59
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,300
really the most helpful thing
for me is like I said, I had to
60
00:03:28,300 --> 00:03:31,700
basically peel everything Back,
I had to come back to Ground
61
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:36,900
Zero, I had to start over and so
finding new support finding
62
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:40,800
people who could be in my corner
reaching out, life coaching
63
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,600
therapy, just filling myself
with as much support like, once
64
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,600
I really harness the power of
being able to change my internal
65
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,200
State, that's when I fell in
love with Fitness, and it was
66
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,600
just like a new commitment and a
new Devotion, to living and
67
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,500
living differently.
So, I would say that, you know,
68
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:01,900
that was Wake up call and those
dark days.
69
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:05,600
Those very very hard.
And hopeless days were made just
70
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,100
a little bit easier because I
was so committed to creating
71
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:11,900
something different that I asked
for as much.
72
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:12,900
Help with that.
I could.
73
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,800
Mmm, amazing.
Thank you so much for being so
74
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,000
open and sharing all of that.
And I feel that a lot of people
75
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:23,800
nowadays there is this sense of
overwhelm and they use various
76
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,400
coping mechanisms in order to
just get through the day either
77
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,900
to numb a certain feeling or a
Certain emotion that is
78
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:35,800
happening or just to push off
some decision-making and some
79
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,200
important things that are going
on in their life.
80
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,200
And I think turning to drink or
turning to partying is a very
81
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,000
common behavior, isn't it?
And so, I've actually been
82
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,500
experiencing a lot of that with
some friends and family members
83
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:52,600
that are in, you know, my space
now.
84
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,500
And it seems I always wonder is,
like, is it because I'm just
85
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:58,000
aware of it that it seems like
it's escalating.
86
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,200
Oh, yeah.
Mm.
87
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,300
You try acting like it.
How is this happening?
88
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:06,800
But yeah, it seems like more and
more people are just not knowing
89
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,700
what to do in order to get out
of it once they get into it.
90
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:14,300
And so life coaching therapy,
those things that you turn to
91
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:17,200
when you realize, I've got to
look myself in the mirror and
92
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,700
make a change for the better,
and I better do it now or else.
93
00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:21,900
It's, I'm not going to be here
very much longer.
94
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,100
That was your way of digging out
of that dark space, right?
95
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:31,800
Yeah, it was just like, I had
always been Been very resilient
96
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,900
and I think that sometimes as
powerful as we are as women
97
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:39,200
sometimes our strengths are also
our weaknesses and because I
98
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,900
had, you know, been so
independent because I had been
99
00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:44,700
through so much because I had
survived everything that I had
100
00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:46,700
been through up until that
point.
101
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:51,900
I think that I was resistant to
asking for help convinced that I
102
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:57,000
could do it by myself but that
turned into a constant cycle of
103
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,700
me never getting where I
actually wanted to go.
104
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:03,600
Cuz I wouldn't allow myself to
be supported and so that was the
105
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,900
biggest change for me was
allowing myself to be supported
106
00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:09,800
in new ways.
Yeah, that is a very good point
107
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,000
where you feel like you can just
do it on your own without the
108
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,100
help of others.
And you realize that, you know,
109
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:20,400
there are more answers out there
than you yourself, may be able
110
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,500
to manage at a specific time
especially when faced with a lot
111
00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:29,100
of Tendencies and habits and
proclivities and getting that
112
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:31,600
assistance.
That you need that vulnerability
113
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,900
of asking for help and being
open to receiving help and being
114
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:40,200
open to hearing some things.
That might not feel very good.
115
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,000
Might not sound like something
that you want to hear.
116
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,100
But ultimately you know, is true
about yourself is one of the
117
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:50,600
very first and most important
parts of the process in order to
118
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,400
heal.
Yeah, I agree.
119
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:58,400
I agree so much and I think that
there is such a beautiful change
120
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,200
that can happen.
And we allow ourselves that
121
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:07,500
support when we start to see
asking for help as powerful
122
00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:11,100
instead of week, when we start
looking at like, this is what
123
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:13,900
I'm really good at.
And this is what I still need
124
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:17,800
some additional help with and
just like, allowing yourself to
125
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,700
feel that and be a part of
something that is bigger than
126
00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:23,100
you.
That you can get a new
127
00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:25,700
perspective.
You can, you know, face that
128
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:27,600
mirror, you can take
accountability for.
129
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,200
What is yours?
It's just, that's Where real
130
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,100
change occurs and I wanted to
focus a little bit on that word
131
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:38,000
power for a quick moment because
I think to your point, it can be
132
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,700
taken in a couple of different
ways.
133
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:42,600
Like, oh, I have the power.
I am empowered, I don't need
134
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,800
anybody else's help, you know,
up in power, and power, and
135
00:07:44,808 --> 00:07:46,800
power.
And so, yes, as women and also
136
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,200
men, the belief that power means
I should be able to handle this
137
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,700
on my own.
But on the other side, what
138
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:57,500
happens is they're also playing
the victim and feeling that
139
00:07:57,500 --> 00:07:59,300
these things are happening to
you.
140
00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:03,400
And it's Others to blame and
there's a relinquishing of power
141
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,600
to whatever you're susceptible
to, right?
142
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,300
So can you talk a little bit
more about, you know, you talked
143
00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:11,300
about bringing a whole new level
of power into the room so that
144
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:13,500
you can reach your potential.
So I'd love to hear.
145
00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:16,100
What do you mean by that?
Hmm, yes.
146
00:08:16,100 --> 00:08:20,300
So it's very interesting because
when I think about how our I
147
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:24,900
teach women how to become their
own power source, not in the way
148
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:29,600
of not asking for help but not
seeking external.
149
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,200
Change before you change
internally, meaning that so many
150
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,000
of us, give our power away to
external circumstances, we give
151
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,700
our power away to other people.
We let other people in
152
00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:45,800
situations and circumstances and
responsibilities.
153
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,900
Determine how we show up and how
we lead and how we move in our
154
00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:52,300
lives.
And what I believe is, when you
155
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:56,000
are connected to you as your
power source, you move
156
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,700
differently because you no
longer need external validation.
157
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,000
Don't need permission.
You don't need all the things
158
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,900
that we were taught, especially
as women to me.
159
00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:12,300
We are so taught and trained to
focus on external achievements
160
00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:15,500
and external accomplishments
that has become.
161
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,200
We ignore our intuition, we
ignore the things that we really
162
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,200
want, but when you are connected
to your power, when you are your
163
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,500
own power source and you don't
need anybody to tell you, like I
164
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:29,600
said, to give you permission to
tell you that it's okay.
165
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,200
Okay to tell you you can proceed
when you feel powerful and you
166
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,600
trust yourself because that's
really the key to being your own
167
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,000
power sources is cultivating.
Deep self-trust is that you,
168
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,500
like I said, you move
differently.
169
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:47,500
You move with more certainty.
You move with more confidence
170
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:49,500
and that's what I believe about
power.
171
00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:52,200
Yeah.
And many of us have blind spots
172
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,600
when it comes to our own self
reflection will very easily.
173
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,100
See what's wrong with somebody
else?
174
00:09:57,100 --> 00:10:00,300
Or judge somebody else for a day
or even like, They're wearing or
175
00:10:00,308 --> 00:10:02,400
whatnot.
But it's so difficult for us to
176
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,400
be able to see that without
somebody else, mentioning it and
177
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,400
then, you know, it becomes
uncomfortable if you don't
178
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,700
receive it very well.
And so I'm curious like what are
179
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:12,900
some of the biggest gaps that
you see people facing that
180
00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:16,000
prevents them from having true
freedom and success in their
181
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,700
lives?
It's you kind of goes back to I
182
00:10:18,708 --> 00:10:20,600
think there's a few things here,
I think.
183
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,700
Number one is the inability to
ask for help and I believe that
184
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,600
I do think that we have
progressed forward from where
185
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,000
more people are not seeing I'm
asking as help as a weakness but
186
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,600
what I do think is that I think
that we are still stuck in the
187
00:10:36,700 --> 00:10:41,000
budding of heads, the resistance
around needing to be broken.
188
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,800
In order to ask for help, you
know, needing to hit a rock
189
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,000
bottom before you move up
needing to fall down before you
190
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,200
can move forward.
And I really wholeheartedly
191
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,600
believe that, you know, you can
ask for help just because you
192
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,800
believe you're worthy of A New
Perspective of A new skill, you
193
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,700
don't have to wait until you're
broken.
194
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,700
And so I think that's one of the
biggest gaps that I see is that
195
00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:09,700
people still wait too long.
They are their own biggest
196
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:12,600
obstacle, you know.
It's like the thing that holds
197
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,700
people back from their success
and their potential is number
198
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:20,800
one, I think that in the second
piece of that would be you know,
199
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:24,700
they're stepping on their own
toes because they're so
200
00:11:24,700 --> 00:11:29,600
convinced that what they know or
what, they don't know determines
201
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:32,100
Like, how they move or what's
possible for them?
202
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:36,800
Your potential is something that
you can't fully see yourself,
203
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,700
because you're in yourself and
we don't, I believe that.
204
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:42,100
I have things that are
untouched.
205
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:44,800
You have things that are
untouched and in order to
206
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:48,400
actually be able to see and
uncover that potential it
207
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,000
requires, it being a
collaborative effort.
208
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,300
So, I think that there's, you
know, the gap of still being a
209
00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:56,900
little behind in that.
Like, let's wait till it's
210
00:11:56,900 --> 00:11:59,600
broken to fix it.
I think there is the gap.
211
00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:04,800
Of us believing that our goals
are, our potential are things
212
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:10,100
that we can fully see right now.
And I also think that there is a
213
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:17,800
gap in us, as women still being
so independent and determined to
214
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,800
follow other Pathways versus
creating our own.
215
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:27,500
And that is huge gap, is that we
feel like well they've there is
216
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:30,700
a path for me to follow and that
is how how it's been done.
217
00:12:30,700 --> 00:12:34,800
And so I will follow that versus
believing in yourself enough to
218
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,000
create your own path to forge
your own path.
219
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,800
To say this is new and I haven't
seen it done before.
220
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,300
But let me try, let me see what
happens if I put myself in this
221
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:45,400
experience.
Brilliant, really.
222
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,600
I almost liken it to the
situation where it's somebody
223
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,100
hasn't hit rock bottom.
And we don't wish that on
224
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:55,100
anyone.
But there are improvements in
225
00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:58,500
relationships, or in your
success and things that are
226
00:12:58,500 --> 00:13:01,500
going on in your life, that
Every single day, the hope and
227
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:04,200
the goal is for you to be
continuously curious and
228
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,200
continuously improving yourself.
So that tomorrow is a better day
229
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,800
than yesterday and when people
get into a situation where there
230
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,100
is a numbing or There is almost
like this functioning addiction,
231
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:16,700
if you will, and they don't
perceive that, anything is
232
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:18,900
really wrong, like they're
keeping their lives together.
233
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:21,300
So what's the harm?
It's that they're not even
234
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:24,600
recognizing that little by
little things are getting worse
235
00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:27,100
when they could be getting.
We should be getting better.
236
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:29,600
And I think that that's the part
that is so difficult.
237
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:33,600
For people to see in themselves
without and what happens is, I
238
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,100
think that the reminders just
seemed like nagging when other
239
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:39,500
people are trying to say, Hey,
you know, maybe this isn't quite
240
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:41,800
so great for you.
Then they're like yeah I'm
241
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,800
actually doing fine.
Thank you very much in mind your
242
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,800
own business, right?
No.
243
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,800
Yeah I'm just curious.
What is that ultimately will
244
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,800
break through to somebody and
say, you know what?
245
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,300
This is actually a really good
thing.
246
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:55,100
Perhaps There's A Better Way,
perhaps, there's things that you
247
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:57,800
can be doing that are healthier
and not as you know,
248
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,400
destructive.
Yeah.
249
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,300
The belief that you're actually
worthy of having that hmm
250
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:07,600
because for so many people it's
when it comes to self-sabotage
251
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,900
self-destruction even if it's
subconsciously you don't even
252
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:14,500
recognize that you're doing it.
It is because there is some sort
253
00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:17,100
of belief that you're holding
that.
254
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:19,800
You're not deserving of anything
better, you know.
255
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,600
This is why women hold
themselves back financially.
256
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,900
It's like again, that ingrained
feeling of like, I can only have
257
00:14:26,900 --> 00:14:29,500
this much, you know, I can only
be like this.
258
00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:33,000
Is my this is my capacity
whether that's For Love or for
259
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,300
wealth, or for clients or
whatever it is like you
260
00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:41,600
shortchanging yourself because
you have the belief that more is
261
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,200
greedy and you have enough, and
that's why so many people wait
262
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,900
until something's broken to fix
it.
263
00:14:46,900 --> 00:14:49,800
That's why so many people, you
know, are holding themselves
264
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,000
back from having more because
they're like well I have enough.
265
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,200
A lot of my clients are very
externally successful, very
266
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,700
successful businesses.
And yet, they still find,
267
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:04,800
there's this like nagging
feeling, like you said of like,
268
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,600
something's going on here.
And it's like they're lacking
269
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,500
balance in their lives.
They're not, truly fulfilled by
270
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:14,300
their work or their
relationships and there's always
271
00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:17,300
something like you said that
that we can do to improve and
272
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:19,800
that's why coaches have coaches.
That's why therapists have
273
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,800
therapists, like, it's so
important to be connected to
274
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,800
other people and just hear the
different perspectives and be
275
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,500
ask, the hard questions, you
know.
276
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:30,400
Mmm.
Yeah.
277
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,300
Previously in my life I think
that everybody would agree when
278
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:37,000
I would say yes I was a
workaholic and it was just this
279
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:42,300
constant striving and ambition
and competitiveness to get ahead
280
00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:44,900
and though I had a certain
amount of success in my life,
281
00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:48,300
you know, financially and then
career-wise, I wouldn't
282
00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:50,700
necessarily say that I felt
fulfilled.
283
00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:54,300
I felt like I was kind of on
this autopilot that I was doing
284
00:15:54,300 --> 00:15:58,800
it to just almost get to this
external level of success.
285
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,400
Of what is By that.
And certainly, I got to a
286
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,000
breaking point.
I got to a place of burnout for
287
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,900
many different reasons, and I
had to step back from that and
288
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:09,700
be like, you know what?
It's okay, and I really learned
289
00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:12,600
to prioritize happiness.
It looks different.
290
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,300
It feels extremely different
everyday is like, so a, but like
291
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:19,000
the abundance.
I feel in every single day now
292
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,100
of just being able to breathe
and see nature and it's just
293
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:24,100
like, I feel so completely
different.
294
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:28,600
But it is the balance of how,
you know, to manage getting into
295
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,300
a place where You feel that
you're financially being
296
00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:34,600
fulfilled as well as feeling
like you're completely happy
297
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,200
with how you are operating your
life without getting to a place
298
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,800
of burnout or you know, mental
unwellness if you will.
299
00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:43,100
Yeah.
Finding that balance I think is
300
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:46,500
probably one of our greatest
challenges that we have is
301
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:49,900
people is like how can I check
all of the boxes?
302
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:53,100
And like, that's one thing that
I've really devoted myself to is
303
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:56,300
like living and being the
constant reminder to women that
304
00:16:56,300 --> 00:17:00,000
like you can have it all.
You know, I was unwilling to You
305
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:05,000
sacrifice my ambition, and my
purpose through my business to
306
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,500
be a mom, but I was also
unwilling to sacrifice being a
307
00:17:08,508 --> 00:17:11,900
mom for my business.
So I've always built and I teach
308
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:14,599
my clients to build their
businesses around their light,
309
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:18,200
build your career, around your
life, build, you know what you
310
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,599
want.
Has to come first prioritizing
311
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:23,500
yourself and your fulfillment.
And if you do that from the
312
00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:27,800
foundation, if your foundation
is built on your happiness, like
313
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,200
you said, in like prioritizing,
That then you do do the things
314
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,700
differently, you set different
boundaries you say, no, two
315
00:17:33,700 --> 00:17:37,200
different things and those are
like the key little shifts that
316
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,500
people have to make to where
it's like, wow, I can breathe.
317
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:43,900
I do have space.
Like, I am showing up fully more
318
00:17:43,900 --> 00:17:46,000
energetically aligned in my
work.
319
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,300
And I'm also able to be present
with the people that I love, and
320
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:52,300
I think that is true, true
Freedom.
321
00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:55,400
Right?
Is being able to live in like,
322
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,900
move throughout your day to
where you're like I can make the
323
00:17:58,900 --> 00:18:01,000
choice.
Like, what is my intention in
324
00:18:01,008 --> 00:18:02,700
this room?
How do I want to show up in this
325
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:03,700
room?
Where am I?
326
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:08,900
Am I fully present without like
anxiety and fear and doubt and
327
00:18:08,900 --> 00:18:11,700
your to-do list following you
into every room that you
328
00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:14,000
entered.
So, yeah, and you talk about
329
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,400
creating long-term
sustainability and success and I
330
00:18:17,408 --> 00:18:18,900
really think that that comes
down to it.
331
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:21,400
Like, if you are operating at a
place that is not sustainable.
332
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,400
Like, you're constantly on the
go, you're not getting enough
333
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,500
sleep.
You're not taking care of
334
00:18:24,508 --> 00:18:27,500
yourself physically, and you're
emotionally, a relationship.
335
00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:29,500
Start going by the wayside
because you're so focused.
336
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,500
Ston work or contrarily if you
think about yourself as being
337
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:35,900
like, okay, well, I'm just going
to sit back on my Laurels and I
338
00:18:35,900 --> 00:18:37,700
am enough.
A lot of people nowadays are
339
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:40,500
saying, yes I am enough, but
does that mean that you're just,
340
00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:43,200
that's it.
You're not going to get anymore
341
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,200
or that you're not deserving of
any more like to me.
342
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,100
That's a little bit of a strange
thing to say is like I am enough
343
00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:51,300
the way that I am and then it's
like that's it.
344
00:18:51,300 --> 00:18:53,300
I'm done.
I'm enough you know so I think
345
00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:56,000
that there's a healthy balance
somewhere in between right.
346
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,800
Yes.
And I love that you brought this
347
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,500
up because one of the things I
say Very, very often is that
348
00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:06,100
contentment can live in the same
room as more meaning that you
349
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:08,200
don't have to.
Like, just like, you don't have
350
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,700
to wait till it's broken to fix
it.
351
00:19:09,700 --> 00:19:13,700
You don't have to not have
enough to want more, and you
352
00:19:13,700 --> 00:19:16,400
don't just because you want more
doesn't mean you're not
353
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,200
satisfied with what you have.
And I think that's the thing
354
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,000
that's it's that uncomfortable
gray area, right?
355
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,300
Like, it's the All or Nothing,
we love quick fixes, we love,
356
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,400
you know, fastest, we love
speed.
357
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,500
We love Quantum, leaps, all this
stuff.
358
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,700
And it's like you said that
people are so attracted to these
359
00:19:32,700 --> 00:19:34,600
extremes.
And it's like in business,
360
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,600
people are like, oh you need to
run a feminine, a laid-back, a
361
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,400
flowy business.
And I'm like well, that doesn't
362
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,000
work because you also need
structure and strategy and then
363
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,100
people go to the other end to
where they're burning themselves
364
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:47,400
out and filling their calendars
because they're like, I'm making
365
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,300
moves, I'm doing the things I'm
like, the answer is in the gray.
366
00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:54,100
It's always in the gray, in the
balance.
367
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,600
Yeah, yeah, I liken it to being
satisfied with where you are,
368
00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:02,500
but eager for more, Like there's
always this curiosity and this
369
00:20:02,500 --> 00:20:05,800
enthusiasm for more in your
life, it doesn't mean to your
370
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,600
point that you are not enough.
It doesn't mean that you should
371
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,100
just sit back and say, you know
what, I'm done and I don't need
372
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:15,400
to do anything because you know
the universe is going to bring
373
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,200
it to me when you need to take
inspired action towards the
374
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,400
goals and the things that you
want to have.
375
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,100
Yes, yes, yes.
And I think it's also like I
376
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:28,100
hold the belief that like we are
humans and we are evolved and
377
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:32,700
evolution means growth, like if
we're not pouring into us in
378
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:35,900
some sort of aspect and it
doesn't always mean, you know, a
379
00:20:35,900 --> 00:20:39,300
lot of like my business owners
are so solely focused on
380
00:20:39,300 --> 00:20:41,600
business growth.
That sometimes in our coaching,
381
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,500
I'm like we need to actually
focus on pouring back into like
382
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:49,200
your health or let's pour back
into like these other buckets of
383
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,300
fun and play because it's so
off-kilter.
384
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:56,500
So I think you know there's
space for having it all and you
385
00:20:56,500 --> 00:21:00,700
know you have to find your
balance but there Is no point
386
00:21:00,700 --> 00:21:03,200
in, which we just are supposed
to stop growing.
387
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,100
Exactly.
Now, you also talk about
388
00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:09,700
communication and effective
leadership inside and outside
389
00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:11,600
the business.
And I know that your clientele
390
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,800
is primarily females CEOs,
business owners, entrepreneurs.
391
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,200
And so what are some of the
things that you are finding that
392
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,100
can be helpful for them to be
able to either communicate
393
00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:26,800
boundaries or to be able to
establish a, a point of view for
394
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,000
their company effectively.
Like I I will say that as a
395
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,000
leader, whether you have a team
of one or whether you are a mom,
396
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,200
and your leadership is being a
leader to your children.
397
00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:41,600
I have the belief that like
we're all leaders, somebody's
398
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,100
watching us.
And as a leader, the most
399
00:21:44,100 --> 00:21:47,800
important skill that you can
have is communication being able
400
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,700
to communicate.
Clearly is how you communicate
401
00:21:51,700 --> 00:21:55,100
effectively.
Because so often women are like,
402
00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:57,500
well, I'm not getting what I
want, or I'm not getting what I
403
00:21:57,508 --> 00:22:00,900
need and I'm like, are you
asking for Are you clearly
404
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:02,700
stating?
This is what I need.
405
00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:04,900
So when I'm talking to business
owners and we're talking about
406
00:22:04,900 --> 00:22:10,000
their teams, it's like, are you
giving them the details of what
407
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,000
you need and when you need it
and how you need it and are you
408
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,000
doing the same and your
relationships?
409
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,600
You know, so many people are
with partners and they're not
410
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,000
being fulfilled, for whatever
reasons, are you asking for it,
411
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,100
you know, and that's, you know,
if we can take accountability
412
00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:27,700
for what's ours and say, okay,
well I'm actually not being
413
00:22:27,700 --> 00:22:30,600
clear about what I want.
I'm Holding unrealistic
414
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,200
expectations for this person on
the other side and they don't
415
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,300
have any idea of what I actually
need because I'm not telling
416
00:22:37,300 --> 00:22:39,400
them.
So I think, you know, as Leaders
417
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,300
we need Clarity, we need to be
really really clear about what
418
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:46,700
we are and what we want and
what's important to us because
419
00:22:46,700 --> 00:22:49,000
the more clear we are on the
back end, the more clear we can
420
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,100
be on the front end to people
that we come in contact with
421
00:22:52,100 --> 00:22:54,400
whether that's inside or outside
the business.
422
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,100
So my client and communicating
effectively is about them
423
00:22:58,100 --> 00:23:00,300
getting that Clarity.
So that They can go and
424
00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:03,400
communicate that to the people
inside and outside the business.
425
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,800
That's so true.
And I've been guilty of it
426
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,600
myself, not that I'm guilting
myself.
427
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,500
But I recall there would be many
occasions where I would think to
428
00:23:10,508 --> 00:23:12,100
myself.
Well, that person should know
429
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:15,500
what I want.
If they Veer a or if they were
430
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:18,600
really an exceptional employee,
like, they should know.
431
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,900
They should have the talent.
They should have the foresight
432
00:23:20,900 --> 00:23:23,500
to know what I want but then
Anna.
433
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:27,200
No, it doesn't work that way.
Yeah.
434
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,900
Yeah.
And there's a difference in
435
00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:32,200
clear and Ineffective,
communication and micromanaging
436
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,400
to it's different.
When you give your people space
437
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,400
to do, what is their zone of
Genius?
438
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,200
What they're, you know what?
They're on the team to do or in
439
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,300
the partnership to do, but we
have to pay attention to our
440
00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:47,200
words and this is the part of
growth is that we come from, you
441
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,600
know, the generations before us.
Like we were not taught to
442
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,700
communicate, not about feelings,
not about and people there's
443
00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:56,400
this weird gray area to wear one
of my CEOs.
444
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,100
She's like, you know, we talk
about like feelings and there
445
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:03,100
and I'm like Absolutely, you do.
Absolutely because the more that
446
00:24:03,100 --> 00:24:06,300
you can bring those, you know,
I'm not saying that you need to
447
00:24:06,308 --> 00:24:08,600
be best friends with everybody
and your whole team.
448
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,100
But like, when you have people
that work for you, if you care
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,300
for them, they care for you and
care and relationships are built
450
00:24:16,300 --> 00:24:19,400
by you being there and you
asking those tough questions,
451
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,000
and you asking about where they
see themselves in the company or
452
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,800
whatever it is and like, what's
going on, what's going on
453
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,700
outside of work.
And so I think a lot of
454
00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:32,900
leadership can be Expanded upon
or done better by just thinking
455
00:24:32,900 --> 00:24:36,600
about it more from a human to
human connection.
456
00:24:36,900 --> 00:24:39,500
Exactly.
You also talk about rewriting
457
00:24:39,500 --> 00:24:41,900
The Narrative to show of
authentically.
458
00:24:41,900 --> 00:24:43,500
Can you share what you mean by
that?
459
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,600
Yeah, so I think that
authenticity is like one of
460
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,600
those words that were like, oh
yes, like it's a buzzword.
461
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,600
Everybody shows up, you know,
authentically and it's like
462
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,400
every single person that I know
when I start working with my
463
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,400
clients and they feel like okay
I am my authentic self.
464
00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:01,300
I'm like, okay, let's go back
this layer.
465
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,100
Okay, let's peel back this
layer.
466
00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:08,100
So I think, you know, rewriting
authenticity to like what is
467
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:11,000
your truth?
What is not the truth that you
468
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,200
feel like you need to show up
for or you feel like, you know,
469
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,600
it's almost like vulnerability
became like performance art to
470
00:25:17,608 --> 00:25:20,000
where it's like, okay, I'm going
to tell this story because I
471
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,600
know that will attract people
and that will get me business or
472
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,800
that will get me attention.
Like, so when I think about
473
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,600
authenticity and like, really
being your true self, it It's
474
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,200
about removing the filters.
It's about really taking away
475
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,000
the performance aspect of it and
really focusing on.
476
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,400
Can you just be yourself
regardless of what your title
477
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,100
is, regardless of what your
purpose is regardless of what
478
00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:45,900
kind of room you're in?
Can you just be yourself or does
479
00:25:45,900 --> 00:25:48,100
that make you uncomfortable?
Because if there's discomfort
480
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:50,100
there, that's what needs to be
addressed.
481
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:52,700
Because, for most people, I was
just talking to a client and
482
00:25:52,700 --> 00:25:55,600
she's like, well, I kind of
change what I say based upon
483
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,400
like who I'm speaking to like if
it's somebody like higher up in
484
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,600
the organization, Like there's
still those pieces so I think
485
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,800
authenticity.
Most people are like one being
486
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,400
myself but I'm like what version
of yourself.
487
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,400
Mmm.
And so let's talk a little bit
488
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,600
more about that because I think
that that might be a little
489
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,600
confusing.
And I'd love to get more clarity
490
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,500
around that because certainly we
are multifaceted human beings.
491
00:26:17,500 --> 00:26:20,900
And so when we step into, you
know, a situation with our kids,
492
00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:24,000
we're not going to use the same
tone as we are with CEO of a
493
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,200
company or, you know, a client.
And so, when you say, well, I
494
00:26:28,208 --> 00:26:30,400
take a certain tone.
And is that wrong?
495
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,300
Or is that correct?
Is that perceived as being
496
00:26:33,300 --> 00:26:37,600
inauthentic or what is it?
That we feel is, you know, truly
497
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,100
the way that we can show up as
ourselves and still relate very
498
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:42,800
well to who we are communicating
to.
499
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,200
So that the message is received.
Mmm.
500
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,500
Yeah, the key is like you said,
you're going to be.
501
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:51,500
I speak differently to my
children than I speak right now,
502
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:52,600
obviously?
Right?
503
00:26:52,700 --> 00:26:55,100
So it's not necessarily about
the tone.
504
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:58,700
It's about the core it's about
you being at the core, the same
505
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:03,000
person Not necessarily putting
on like, oh I need to be.
506
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,900
I'm not as confident.
If I walk into this room.
507
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:09,400
I'm afraid when I walk into this
room, I think of it.
508
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,000
Physically, like, when you're in
the situation, you feel like the
509
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,400
lump and your the back of your
throat.
510
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,200
That is a filter that is fear.
There is some sort of message
511
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,600
and you that's being applied in
the stomach.
512
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,900
It can happen.
Sadly.
513
00:27:21,900 --> 00:27:25,400
And number and a number of ways.
Yes, yes, exactly.
514
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,300
And so I think that there's it's
important to be able to
515
00:27:28,300 --> 00:27:31,500
recognize that in our our bodies
and feel into that and breathe
516
00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:35,100
into that of like, is this, you
know, is this an emotion or is
517
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:38,400
this truly me filtering
something because that's what
518
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,400
will come next for people is
that will feel like that
519
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,200
excitement or that fear, or that
need to be a certain way.
520
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,600
And then it's like, oh now I
have to change the way that I
521
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,600
word things now I have to make
sure I don't speak about that
522
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,500
part.
So like, for me to give you a
523
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:55,700
specific example, you know, I
have a different tone regardless
524
00:27:55,700 --> 00:27:58,400
of where I'm speaking or if I'm
talking to the kids or whatever.
525
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:04,500
But at Mike, Or I am so okay,
with my history, what I went
526
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:08,400
through, I've really shame, I
really judgment and so I don't
527
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,400
need.
I'm so unafraid of, I could walk
528
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,300
into any room, it regardless of
somebody's income level their
529
00:28:15,300 --> 00:28:19,300
title, whatever and be myself
and say, yes, that was my
530
00:28:19,300 --> 00:28:20,600
history.
That was my past.
531
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,500
This is who I am now.
And so, while the tone may
532
00:28:23,500 --> 00:28:27,000
change, the core doesn't mmm.
So for some people, it might be
533
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,300
breaking through the discomfort.
Effort of feeling shame or
534
00:28:31,300 --> 00:28:35,100
feeling that they are not able
to necessarily release that
535
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:37,300
trauma, like, it will be
constantly bringing it back up,
536
00:28:37,300 --> 00:28:39,000
you know, triggers certain
things.
537
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,000
And so that is perhaps the
deeper healing that needs to
538
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,400
happen in order for them to
truly feel that they can express
539
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,700
themselves fully.
Otherwise, they might be hiding
540
00:28:47,700 --> 00:28:51,600
or there might be this duplicity
that starts to evolve out in
541
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,000
trying to Showcase a certain
base or filter as you say with,
542
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,500
you know, anybody that they're
coming in contact with.
543
00:28:57,500 --> 00:28:59,900
That's exactly it.
Yeah, that's Exactly.
544
00:28:59,900 --> 00:29:02,500
It is, it's not again.
We're multifaceted.
545
00:29:02,500 --> 00:29:06,500
And so we are different people,
but it's all the same person.
546
00:29:06,500 --> 00:29:10,100
So, what we have to be really
cognizant of is, what are you
547
00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:12,100
changing about the actual
person?
548
00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:13,400
That's what I mean about the
war.
549
00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:14,600
Hmm.
Brilliant.
550
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,800
And so, you are a life coach,
how can people work with you?
551
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,900
How do they find you?
And what do you offer?
552
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:22,500
Yeah, so I have a couple of
different options.
553
00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:26,300
It's very interesting because I
am so weird about titles.
554
00:29:26,300 --> 00:29:28,600
It's like, there's business
coaching, there's life coaching,
555
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,600
but truly, Lee I've worked with
women all over the world for 11
556
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,400
years now and different
Industries.
557
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,200
And the best place to find me is
on Instagram.
558
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,300
That's you know my home place
and usually you can just DM me
559
00:29:41,300 --> 00:29:43,000
on there and have a
conversation.
560
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,200
I love talking to people.
I love getting to know people.
561
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,100
I love helping women, you know,
break through barriers and
562
00:29:49,100 --> 00:29:52,200
really free themselves.
So they can create, you know,
563
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,300
their true potential and step
into the power that's actually
564
00:29:55,300 --> 00:29:57,900
meant for them because that's
what holds us back from living
565
00:29:57,900 --> 00:29:59,700
our purposes.
We just make our Ourselves
566
00:29:59,700 --> 00:30:01,700
smaller.
So yeah, that's where I hang
567
00:30:01,700 --> 00:30:03,700
amazing.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is
568
00:30:03,700 --> 00:30:06,700
tell seek Henry, please look her
up on Instagram.
569
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:09,500

in the show notes that you can

Hi, I'm so happy to be here.
I'm delighted to have you here
17
00:00:57,500 --> 00:00:59,100
now.
Many of the guests that I have
18
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:02,300
on this show, I've Elected

19

And you are absolutely that
20
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:09,300
overcoming trauma and hardships
is not easy.
21
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:12,300
And so the more that I shine a
light on how others did it, I
22
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:15,000
believe it will help Inspire
others to find their own
23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000
strength to persevere and Thrive
as well.
24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,400
So I'd love for you to tell us
what you were like in those
25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,700
early dark days and what your
wake-up call was mmm.
26
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:25,400
Yeah.
So I'm going to start with the
27
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,300
last part of that question.
First, my wake-up call,
28
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:32,300
actually, as you in Introduce
me, was that third arrest?
29
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:35,300
That was the moment where
everything changed for me.
30
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:38,900
I woke up in the medical unit at
the county jail.
31
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:43,600
And there was a moment where I
stood up and I Met Myself and My
32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,500
Eyes in the mirror.
And I always say that like a
33
00:01:46,508 --> 00:01:49,900
mirror changed my life.
And so I became one and that was
34
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:54,900
the moment to where I had to
take responsibility for where I
35
00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:59,500
was, and the life that I had
created was a product of my own
36
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:02,000
choice.
Is and while it was definitely
37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,800
you know very much a punch in
the gut to take that
38
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:10,100
responsibility it also you know
with awareness comes change and
39
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:14,400
I took my power back in that
moment by saying if you created
40
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,600
this result what can you create
if you choose differently and so
41
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,600
that was my wake-up call I
didn't want to live like that
42
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,400
anymore and I knew that with the
path that I was on that.
43
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:30,500
I probably would not have lived
much longer and so I chose to To
44
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:34,000
change my entire life.
I mean that in every single
45
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,700
aspect I was so scared.
I didn't know you know I had
46
00:02:39,700 --> 00:02:44,000
built this life around partying,
I was a bartender.
47
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,100
It was all that I really knew
was that kind of social life.
48
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:51,300
You know I love people and being
around people and I knew that I
49
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:54,400
was going to lose all my friends
and I, you know, I was so scared
50
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,000
of that and so scared of all the
change that I would have to
51
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,700
make, but in those early days
and those dark Days when I was
52
00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:05,500
in a very, very deep and dark
Valley, I always remembered
53
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:09,000
there being some sort of glimmer
of hope that like, there is
54
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,700
something there that is bigger.
I didn't know what I was meant
55
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:15,800
for or where I was going or how
exactly I was going to get
56
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,200
there.
But I knew that there was
57
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,700
something else and that's a big
part of like why I do what I do
58
00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:24,900
now.
But in those stages what was
59
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,300
really the most helpful thing
for me is like I said, I had to
60
00:03:28,300 --> 00:03:31,700
basically peel everything Back,
I had to come back to Ground
61
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:36,900
Zero, I had to start over and so
finding new support finding
62
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:40,800
people who could be in my corner
reaching out, life coaching
63
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,600
therapy, just filling myself
with as much support like, once
64
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,600
I really harness the power of
being able to change my internal
65
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,200
State, that's when I fell in
love with Fitness, and it was
66
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,600
just like a new commitment and a
new Devotion, to living and
67
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,500
living differently.
So, I would say that, you know,
68
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:01,900
that was Wake up call and those
dark days.
69
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:05,600
Those very very hard.
And hopeless days were made just
70
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,100
a little bit easier because I
was so committed to creating
71
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:11,900
something different that I asked
for as much.
72
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:12,900
Help with that.
I could.
73
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,800
Mmm, amazing.
Thank you so much for being so
74
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,000
open and sharing all of that.
And I feel that a lot of people
75
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:23,800
nowadays there is this sense of
overwhelm and they use various
76
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,400
coping mechanisms in order to
just get through the day either
77
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,900
to numb a certain feeling or a
Certain emotion that is
78
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:35,800
happening or just to push off
some decision-making and some
79
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,200
important things that are going
on in their life.
80
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,200
And I think turning to drink or
turning to partying is a very
81
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,000
common behavior, isn't it?
And so, I've actually been
82
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,500
experiencing a lot of that with
some friends and family members
83
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:52,600
that are in, you know, my space
now.
84
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,500
And it seems I always wonder is,
like, is it because I'm just
85
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:58,000
aware of it that it seems like
it's escalating.
86
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,200
Oh, yeah.
Mm.
87
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,300
You try acting like it.
How is this happening?
88
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:06,800
But yeah, it seems like more and
more people are just not knowing
89
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,700
what to do in order to get out
of it once they get into it.
90
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:14,300
And so life coaching therapy,
those things that you turn to
91
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:17,200
when you realize, I've got to
look myself in the mirror and
92
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,700
make a change for the better,
and I better do it now or else.
93
00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:21,900
It's, I'm not going to be here
very much longer.
94
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,100
That was your way of digging out
of that dark space, right?
95
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:31,800
Yeah, it was just like, I had
always been Been very resilient
96
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,900
and I think that sometimes as
powerful as we are as women
97
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:39,200
sometimes our strengths are also
our weaknesses and because I
98
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,900
had, you know, been so
independent because I had been
99
00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:44,700
through so much because I had
survived everything that I had
100
00:05:44,700 --> 00:05:46,700
been through up until that
point.
101
00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:51,900
I think that I was resistant to
asking for help convinced that I
102
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:57,000
could do it by myself but that
turned into a constant cycle of
103
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,700
me never getting where I
actually wanted to go.
104
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:03,600
Cuz I wouldn't allow myself to
be supported and so that was the
105
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,900
biggest change for me was
allowing myself to be supported
106
00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:09,800
in new ways.
Yeah, that is a very good point
107
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,000
where you feel like you can just
do it on your own without the
108
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,100
help of others.
And you realize that, you know,
109
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:20,400
there are more answers out there
than you yourself, may be able
110
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,500
to manage at a specific time
especially when faced with a lot
111
00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:29,100
of Tendencies and habits and
proclivities and getting that
112
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:31,600
assistance.
That you need that vulnerability
113
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,900
of asking for help and being
open to receiving help and being
114
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:40,200
open to hearing some things.
That might not feel very good.
115
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,000
Might not sound like something
that you want to hear.
116
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,100
But ultimately you know, is true
about yourself is one of the
117
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:50,600
very first and most important
parts of the process in order to
118
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,400
heal.
Yeah, I agree.
119
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:58,400
I agree so much and I think that
there is such a beautiful change
120
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,200
that can happen.
And we allow ourselves that
121
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:07,500
support when we start to see
asking for help as powerful
122
00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:11,100
instead of week, when we start
looking at like, this is what
123
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:13,900
I'm really good at.
And this is what I still need
124
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:17,800
some additional help with and
just like, allowing yourself to
125
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,700
feel that and be a part of
something that is bigger than
126
00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:23,100
you.
That you can get a new
127
00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:25,700
perspective.
You can, you know, face that
128
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:27,600
mirror, you can take
accountability for.
129
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,200
What is yours?
It's just, that's Where real
130
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,100
change occurs and I wanted to
focus a little bit on that word
131
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:38,000
power for a quick moment because
I think to your point, it can be
132
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,700
taken in a couple of different
ways.
133
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:42,600
Like, oh, I have the power.
I am empowered, I don't need
134
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,800
anybody else's help, you know,
up in power, and power, and
135
00:07:44,808 --> 00:07:46,800
power.
And so, yes, as women and also
136
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,200
men, the belief that power means
I should be able to handle this
137
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,700
on my own.
But on the other side, what
138
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:57,500
happens is they're also playing
the victim and feeling that
139
00:07:57,500 --> 00:07:59,300
these things are happening to
you.
140
00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:03,400
And it's Others to blame and
there's a relinquishing of power
141
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,600
to whatever you're susceptible
to, right?
142
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,300
So can you talk a little bit
more about, you know, you talked
143
00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:11,300
about bringing a whole new level
of power into the room so that
144
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:13,500
you can reach your potential.
So I'd love to hear.
145
00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:16,100
What do you mean by that?
Hmm, yes.
146
00:08:16,100 --> 00:08:20,300
So it's very interesting because
when I think about how our I
147
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:24,900
teach women how to become their
own power source, not in the way
148
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:29,600
of not asking for help but not
seeking external.
149
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,200
Change before you change
internally, meaning that so many
150
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,000
of us, give our power away to
external circumstances, we give
151
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,700
our power away to other people.
We let other people in
152
00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:45,800
situations and circumstances and
responsibilities.
153
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,900
Determine how we show up and how
we lead and how we move in our
154
00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:52,300
lives.
And what I believe is, when you
155
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:56,000
are connected to you as your
power source, you move
156
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,700
differently because you no
longer need external validation.
157
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,000
Don't need permission.
You don't need all the things
158
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,900
that we were taught, especially
as women to me.
159
00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:12,300
We are so taught and trained to
focus on external achievements
160
00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:15,500
and external accomplishments
that has become.
161
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,200
We ignore our intuition, we
ignore the things that we really
162
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,200
want, but when you are connected
to your power, when you are your
163
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,500
own power source and you don't
need anybody to tell you, like I
164
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:29,600
said, to give you permission to
tell you that it's okay.
165
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,200
Okay to tell you you can proceed
when you feel powerful and you
166
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,600
trust yourself because that's
really the key to being your own
167
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,000
power sources is cultivating.
Deep self-trust is that you,
168
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,500
like I said, you move
differently.
169
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:47,500
You move with more certainty.
You move with more confidence
170
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:49,500
and that's what I believe about
power.
171
00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:52,200
Yeah.
And many of us have blind spots
172
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,600
when it comes to our own self
reflection will very easily.
173
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,100
See what's wrong with somebody
else?
174
00:09:57,100 --> 00:10:00,300
Or judge somebody else for a day
or even like, They're wearing or
175
00:10:00,308 --> 00:10:02,400
whatnot.
But it's so difficult for us to
176
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,400
be able to see that without
somebody else, mentioning it and
177
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,400
then, you know, it becomes
uncomfortable if you don't
178
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,700
receive it very well.
And so I'm curious like what are
179
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:12,900
some of the biggest gaps that
you see people facing that
180
00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:16,000
prevents them from having true
freedom and success in their
181
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,700
lives?
It's you kind of goes back to I
182
00:10:18,708 --> 00:10:20,600
think there's a few things here,
I think.
183
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,700
Number one is the inability to
ask for help and I believe that
184
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,600
I do think that we have
progressed forward from where
185
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,000
more people are not seeing I'm
asking as help as a weakness but
186
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,600
what I do think is that I think
that we are still stuck in the
187
00:10:36,700 --> 00:10:41,000
budding of heads, the resistance
around needing to be broken.
188
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,800
In order to ask for help, you
know, needing to hit a rock
189
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,000
bottom before you move up
needing to fall down before you
190
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,200
can move forward.
And I really wholeheartedly
191
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,600
believe that, you know, you can
ask for help just because you
192
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,800
believe you're worthy of A New
Perspective of A new skill, you
193
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,700
don't have to wait until you're
broken.
194
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,700
And so I think that's one of the
biggest gaps that I see is that
195
00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:09,700
people still wait too long.
They are their own biggest
196
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:12,600
obstacle, you know.
It's like the thing that holds
197
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,700
people back from their success
and their potential is number
198
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:20,800
one, I think that in the second
piece of that would be you know,
199
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:24,700
they're stepping on their own
toes because they're so
200
00:11:24,700 --> 00:11:29,600
convinced that what they know or
what, they don't know determines
201
00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:32,100
Like, how they move or what's
possible for them?
202
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:36,800
Your potential is something that
you can't fully see yourself,
203
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,700
because you're in yourself and
we don't, I believe that.
204
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:42,100
I have things that are
untouched.
205
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:44,800
You have things that are
untouched and in order to
206
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:48,400
actually be able to see and
uncover that potential it
207
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,000
requires, it being a
collaborative effort.
208
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,300
So, I think that there's, you
know, the gap of still being a
209
00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:56,900
little behind in that.
Like, let's wait till it's
210
00:11:56,900 --> 00:11:59,600
broken to fix it.
I think there is the gap.
211
00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:04,800
Of us believing that our goals
are, our potential are things
212
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:10,100
that we can fully see right now.
And I also think that there is a
213
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:17,800
gap in us, as women still being
so independent and determined to
214
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,800
follow other Pathways versus
creating our own.
215
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:27,500
And that is huge gap, is that we
feel like well they've there is
216
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:30,700
a path for me to follow and that
is how how it's been done.
217
00:12:30,700 --> 00:12:34,800
And so I will follow that versus
believing in yourself enough to
218
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,000
create your own path to forge
your own path.
219
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,800
To say this is new and I haven't
seen it done before.
220
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,300
But let me try, let me see what
happens if I put myself in this
221
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:45,400
experience.
Brilliant, really.
222
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,600
I almost liken it to the
situation where it's somebody
223
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,100
hasn't hit rock bottom.
And we don't wish that on
224
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:55,100
anyone.
But there are improvements in
225
00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:58,500
relationships, or in your
success and things that are
226
00:12:58,500 --> 00:13:01,500
going on in your life, that
Every single day, the hope and
227
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:04,200
the goal is for you to be
continuously curious and
228
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,200
continuously improving yourself.
So that tomorrow is a better day
229
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,800
than yesterday and when people
get into a situation where there
230
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,100
is a numbing or There is almost
like this functioning addiction,
231
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:16,700
if you will, and they don't
perceive that, anything is
232
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:18,900
really wrong, like they're
keeping their lives together.
233
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:21,300
So what's the harm?
It's that they're not even
234
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:24,600
recognizing that little by
little things are getting worse
235
00:13:24,700 --> 00:13:27,100
when they could be getting.
We should be getting better.
236
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:29,600
And I think that that's the part
that is so difficult.
237
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:33,600
For people to see in themselves
without and what happens is, I
238
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,100
think that the reminders just
seemed like nagging when other
239
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:39,500
people are trying to say, Hey,
you know, maybe this isn't quite
240
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:41,800
so great for you.
Then they're like yeah I'm
241
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,800
actually doing fine.
Thank you very much in mind your
242
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,800
own business, right?
No.
243
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,800
Yeah I'm just curious.
What is that ultimately will
244
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,800
break through to somebody and
say, you know what?
245
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,300
This is actually a really good
thing.
246
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:55,100
Perhaps There's A Better Way,
perhaps, there's things that you
247
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:57,800
can be doing that are healthier
and not as you know,
248
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,400
destructive.
Yeah.
249
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,300
The belief that you're actually
worthy of having that hmm
250
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:07,600
because for so many people it's
when it comes to self-sabotage
251
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,900
self-destruction even if it's
subconsciously you don't even
252
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:14,500
recognize that you're doing it.
It is because there is some sort
253
00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:17,100
of belief that you're holding
that.
254
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:19,800
You're not deserving of anything
better, you know.
255
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,600
This is why women hold
themselves back financially.
256
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,900
It's like again, that ingrained
feeling of like, I can only have
257
00:14:26,900 --> 00:14:29,500
this much, you know, I can only
be like this.
258
00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:33,000
Is my this is my capacity
whether that's For Love or for
259
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,300
wealth, or for clients or
whatever it is like you
260
00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:41,600
shortchanging yourself because
you have the belief that more is
261
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,200
greedy and you have enough, and
that's why so many people wait
262
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,900
until something's broken to fix
it.
263
00:14:46,900 --> 00:14:49,800
That's why so many people, you
know, are holding themselves
264
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,000
back from having more because
they're like well I have enough.
265
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,200
A lot of my clients are very
externally successful, very
266
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,700
successful businesses.
And yet, they still find,
267
00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:04,800
there's this like nagging
feeling, like you said of like,
268
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,600
something's going on here.
And it's like they're lacking
269
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,500
balance in their lives.
They're not, truly fulfilled by
270
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:14,300
their work or their
relationships and there's always
271
00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:17,300
something like you said that
that we can do to improve and
272
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:19,800
that's why coaches have coaches.
That's why therapists have
273
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,800
therapists, like, it's so
important to be connected to
274
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,800
other people and just hear the
different perspectives and be
275
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,500
ask, the hard questions, you
know.
276
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:30,400
Mmm.
Yeah.
277
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,300
Previously in my life I think
that everybody would agree when
278
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:37,000
I would say yes I was a
workaholic and it was just this
279
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:42,300
constant striving and ambition
and competitiveness to get ahead
280
00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:44,900
and though I had a certain
amount of success in my life,
281
00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:48,300
you know, financially and then
career-wise, I wouldn't
282
00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:50,700
necessarily say that I felt
fulfilled.
283
00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:54,300
I felt like I was kind of on
this autopilot that I was doing
284
00:15:54,300 --> 00:15:58,800
it to just almost get to this
external level of success.
285
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,400
Of what is By that.
And certainly, I got to a
286
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,000
breaking point.
I got to a place of burnout for
287
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,900
many different reasons, and I
had to step back from that and
288
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:09,700
be like, you know what?
It's okay, and I really learned
289
00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:12,600
to prioritize happiness.
It looks different.
290
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,300
It feels extremely different
everyday is like, so a, but like
291
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:19,000
the abundance.
I feel in every single day now
292
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,100
of just being able to breathe
and see nature and it's just
293
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:24,100
like, I feel so completely
different.
294
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:28,600
But it is the balance of how,
you know, to manage getting into
295
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,300
a place where You feel that
you're financially being
296
00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:34,600
fulfilled as well as feeling
like you're completely happy
297
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,200
with how you are operating your
life without getting to a place
298
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,800
of burnout or you know, mental
unwellness if you will.
299
00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:43,100
Yeah.
Finding that balance I think is
300
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:46,500
probably one of our greatest
challenges that we have is
301
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:49,900
people is like how can I check
all of the boxes?
302
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:53,100
And like, that's one thing that
I've really devoted myself to is
303
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:56,300
like living and being the
constant reminder to women that
304
00:16:56,300 --> 00:17:00,000
like you can have it all.
You know, I was unwilling to You
305
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:05,000
sacrifice my ambition, and my
purpose through my business to
306
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,500
be a mom, but I was also
unwilling to sacrifice being a
307
00:17:08,508 --> 00:17:11,900
mom for my business.
So I've always built and I teach
308
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:14,599
my clients to build their
businesses around their light,
309
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:18,200
build your career, around your
life, build, you know what you
310
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,599
want.
Has to come first prioritizing
311
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:23,500
yourself and your fulfillment.
And if you do that from the
312
00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:27,800
foundation, if your foundation
is built on your happiness, like
313
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,200
you said, in like prioritizing,
That then you do do the things
314
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,700
differently, you set different
boundaries you say, no, two
315
00:17:33,700 --> 00:17:37,200
different things and those are
like the key little shifts that
316
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,500
people have to make to where
it's like, wow, I can breathe.
317
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:43,900
I do have space.
Like, I am showing up fully more
318
00:17:43,900 --> 00:17:46,000
energetically aligned in my
work.
319
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,300
And I'm also able to be present
with the people that I love, and
320
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:52,300
I think that is true, true
Freedom.
321
00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:55,400
Right?
Is being able to live in like,
322
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,900
move throughout your day to
where you're like I can make the
323
00:17:58,900 --> 00:18:01,000
choice.
Like, what is my intention in
324
00:18:01,008 --> 00:18:02,700
this room?
How do I want to show up in this
325
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:03,700
room?
Where am I?
326
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:08,900
Am I fully present without like
anxiety and fear and doubt and
327
00:18:08,900 --> 00:18:11,700
your to-do list following you
into every room that you
328
00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:14,000
entered.
So, yeah, and you talk about
329
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,400
creating long-term
sustainability and success and I
330
00:18:17,408 --> 00:18:18,900
really think that that comes
down to it.
331
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:21,400
Like, if you are operating at a
place that is not sustainable.
332
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,400
Like, you're constantly on the
go, you're not getting enough
333
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,500
sleep.
You're not taking care of
334
00:18:24,508 --> 00:18:27,500
yourself physically, and you're
emotionally, a relationship.
335
00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:29,500
Start going by the wayside
because you're so focused.
336
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,500
Ston work or contrarily if you
think about yourself as being
337
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:35,900
like, okay, well, I'm just going
to sit back on my Laurels and I
338
00:18:35,900 --> 00:18:37,700
am enough.
A lot of people nowadays are
339
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:40,500
saying, yes I am enough, but
does that mean that you're just,
340
00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:43,200
that's it.
You're not going to get anymore
341
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,200
or that you're not deserving of
any more like to me.
342
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,100
That's a little bit of a strange
thing to say is like I am enough
343
00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:51,300
the way that I am and then it's
like that's it.
344
00:18:51,300 --> 00:18:53,300
I'm done.
I'm enough you know so I think
345
00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:56,000
that there's a healthy balance
somewhere in between right.
346
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,800
Yes.
And I love that you brought this
347
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,500
up because one of the things I
say Very, very often is that
348
00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:06,100
contentment can live in the same
room as more meaning that you
349
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:08,200
don't have to.
Like, just like, you don't have
350
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,700
to wait till it's broken to fix
it.
351
00:19:09,700 --> 00:19:13,700
You don't have to not have
enough to want more, and you
352
00:19:13,700 --> 00:19:16,400
don't just because you want more
doesn't mean you're not
353
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,200
satisfied with what you have.
And I think that's the thing
354
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,000
that's it's that uncomfortable
gray area, right?
355
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,300
Like, it's the All or Nothing,
we love quick fixes, we love,
356
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,400
you know, fastest, we love
speed.
357
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,500
We love Quantum, leaps, all this
stuff.
358
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,700
And it's like you said that
people are so attracted to these
359
00:19:32,700 --> 00:19:34,600
extremes.
And it's like in business,
360
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,600
people are like, oh you need to
run a feminine, a laid-back, a
361
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,400
flowy business.
And I'm like well, that doesn't
362
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,000
work because you also need
structure and strategy and then
363
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,100
people go to the other end to
where they're burning themselves
364
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:47,400
out and filling their calendars
because they're like, I'm making
365
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,300
moves, I'm doing the things I'm
like, the answer is in the gray.
366
00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:54,100
It's always in the gray, in the
balance.
367
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,600
Yeah, yeah, I liken it to being
satisfied with where you are,
368
00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:02,500
but eager for more, Like there's
always this curiosity and this
369
00:20:02,500 --> 00:20:05,800
enthusiasm for more in your
life, it doesn't mean to your
370
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,600
point that you are not enough.
It doesn't mean that you should
371
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,100
just sit back and say, you know
what, I'm done and I don't need
372
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:15,400
to do anything because you know
the universe is going to bring
373
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,200
it to me when you need to take
inspired action towards the
374
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,400
goals and the things that you
want to have.
375
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,100
Yes, yes, yes.
And I think it's also like I
376
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:28,100
hold the belief that like we are
humans and we are evolved and
377
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:32,700
evolution means growth, like if
we're not pouring into us in
378
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:35,900
some sort of aspect and it
doesn't always mean, you know, a
379
00:20:35,900 --> 00:20:39,300
lot of like my business owners
are so solely focused on
380
00:20:39,300 --> 00:20:41,600
business growth.
That sometimes in our coaching,
381
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,500
I'm like we need to actually
focus on pouring back into like
382
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:49,200
your health or let's pour back
into like these other buckets of
383
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,300
fun and play because it's so
off-kilter.
384
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:56,500
So I think you know there's
space for having it all and you
385
00:20:56,500 --> 00:21:00,700
know you have to find your
balance but there Is no point
386
00:21:00,700 --> 00:21:03,200
in, which we just are supposed
to stop growing.
387
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,100
Exactly.
Now, you also talk about
388
00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:09,700
communication and effective
leadership inside and outside
389
00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:11,600
the business.
And I know that your clientele
390
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,800
is primarily females CEOs,
business owners, entrepreneurs.
391
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,200
And so what are some of the
things that you are finding that
392
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,100
can be helpful for them to be
able to either communicate
393
00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:26,800
boundaries or to be able to
establish a, a point of view for
394
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,000
their company effectively.
Like I I will say that as a
395
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,000
leader, whether you have a team
of one or whether you are a mom,
396
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,200
and your leadership is being a
leader to your children.
397
00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:41,600
I have the belief that like
we're all leaders, somebody's
398
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,100
watching us.
And as a leader, the most
399
00:21:44,100 --> 00:21:47,800
important skill that you can
have is communication being able
400
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,700
to communicate.
Clearly is how you communicate
401
00:21:51,700 --> 00:21:55,100
effectively.
Because so often women are like,
402
00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:57,500
well, I'm not getting what I
want, or I'm not getting what I
403
00:21:57,508 --> 00:22:00,900
need and I'm like, are you
asking for Are you clearly
404
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:02,700
stating?
This is what I need.
405
00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:04,900
So when I'm talking to business
owners and we're talking about
406
00:22:04,900 --> 00:22:10,000
their teams, it's like, are you
giving them the details of what
407
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,000
you need and when you need it
and how you need it and are you
408
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,000
doing the same and your
relationships?
409
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,600
You know, so many people are
with partners and they're not
410
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,000
being fulfilled, for whatever
reasons, are you asking for it,
411
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,100
you know, and that's, you know,
if we can take accountability
412
00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:27,700
for what's ours and say, okay,
well I'm actually not being
413
00:22:27,700 --> 00:22:30,600
clear about what I want.
I'm Holding unrealistic
414
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,200
expectations for this person on
the other side and they don't
415
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,300
have any idea of what I actually
need because I'm not telling
416
00:22:37,300 --> 00:22:39,400
them.
So I think, you know, as Leaders
417
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,300
we need Clarity, we need to be
really really clear about what
418
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:46,700
we are and what we want and
what's important to us because
419
00:22:46,700 --> 00:22:49,000
the more clear we are on the
back end, the more clear we can
420
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,100
be on the front end to people
that we come in contact with
421
00:22:52,100 --> 00:22:54,400
whether that's inside or outside
the business.
422
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,100
So my client and communicating
effectively is about them
423
00:22:58,100 --> 00:23:00,300
getting that Clarity.
So that They can go and
424
00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:03,400
communicate that to the people
inside and outside the business.
425
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,800
That's so true.
And I've been guilty of it
426
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,600
myself, not that I'm guilting
myself.
427
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,500
But I recall there would be many
occasions where I would think to
428
00:23:10,508 --> 00:23:12,100
myself.
Well, that person should know
429
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:15,500
what I want.
If they Veer a or if they were
430
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:18,600
really an exceptional employee,
like, they should know.
431
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,900
They should have the talent.
They should have the foresight
432
00:23:20,900 --> 00:23:23,500
to know what I want but then
Anna.
433
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:27,200
No, it doesn't work that way.
Yeah.
434
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,900
Yeah.
And there's a difference in
435
00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:32,200
clear and Ineffective,
communication and micromanaging
436
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,400
to it's different.
When you give your people space
437
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,400
to do, what is their zone of
Genius?
438
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,200
What they're, you know what?
They're on the team to do or in
439
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,300
the partnership to do, but we
have to pay attention to our
440
00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:47,200
words and this is the part of
growth is that we come from, you
441
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,600
know, the generations before us.
Like we were not taught to
442
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,700
communicate, not about feelings,
not about and people there's
443
00:23:53,700 --> 00:23:56,400
this weird gray area to wear one
of my CEOs.
444
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,100
She's like, you know, we talk
about like feelings and there
445
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:03,100
and I'm like Absolutely, you do.
Absolutely because the more that
446
00:24:03,100 --> 00:24:06,300
you can bring those, you know,
I'm not saying that you need to
447
00:24:06,308 --> 00:24:08,600
be best friends with everybody
and your whole team.
448
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,100
But like, when you have people
that work for you, if you care
449
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:16,300
for them, they care for you and
care and relationships are built
450
00:24:16,300 --> 00:24:19,400
by you being there and you
asking those tough questions,
451
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,000
and you asking about where they
see themselves in the company or
452
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,800
whatever it is and like, what's
going on, what's going on
453
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,700
outside of work.
And so I think a lot of
454
00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:32,900
leadership can be Expanded upon
or done better by just thinking
455
00:24:32,900 --> 00:24:36,600
about it more from a human to
human connection.
456
00:24:36,900 --> 00:24:39,500
Exactly.
You also talk about rewriting
457
00:24:39,500 --> 00:24:41,900
The Narrative to show of
authentically.
458
00:24:41,900 --> 00:24:43,500
Can you share what you mean by
that?
459
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,600
Yeah, so I think that
authenticity is like one of
460
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,600
those words that were like, oh
yes, like it's a buzzword.
461
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,600
Everybody shows up, you know,
authentically and it's like
462
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,400
every single person that I know
when I start working with my
463
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,400
clients and they feel like okay
I am my authentic self.
464
00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:01,300
I'm like, okay, let's go back
this layer.
465
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,100
Okay, let's peel back this
layer.
466
00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:08,100
So I think, you know, rewriting
authenticity to like what is
467
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:11,000
your truth?
What is not the truth that you
468
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,200
feel like you need to show up
for or you feel like, you know,
469
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,600
it's almost like vulnerability
became like performance art to
470
00:25:17,608 --> 00:25:20,000
where it's like, okay, I'm going
to tell this story because I
471
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,600
know that will attract people
and that will get me business or
472
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,800
that will get me attention.
Like, so when I think about
473
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,600
authenticity and like, really
being your true self, it It's
474
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,200
about removing the filters.
It's about really taking away
475
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,000
the performance aspect of it and
really focusing on.
476
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,400
Can you just be yourself
regardless of what your title
477
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,100
is, regardless of what your
purpose is regardless of what
478
00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:45,900
kind of room you're in?
Can you just be yourself or does
479
00:25:45,900 --> 00:25:48,100
that make you uncomfortable?
Because if there's discomfort
480
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:50,100
there, that's what needs to be
addressed.
481
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:52,700
Because, for most people, I was
just talking to a client and
482
00:25:52,700 --> 00:25:55,600
she's like, well, I kind of
change what I say based upon
483
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,400
like who I'm speaking to like if
it's somebody like higher up in
484
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,600
the organization, Like there's
still those pieces so I think
485
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,800
authenticity.
Most people are like one being
486
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,400
myself but I'm like what version
of yourself.
487
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,400
Mmm.
And so let's talk a little bit
488
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,600
more about that because I think
that that might be a little
489
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,600
confusing.
And I'd love to get more clarity
490
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,500
around that because certainly we
are multifaceted human beings.
491
00:26:17,500 --> 00:26:20,900
And so when we step into, you
know, a situation with our kids,
492
00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:24,000
we're not going to use the same
tone as we are with CEO of a
493
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,200
company or, you know, a client.
And so, when you say, well, I
494
00:26:28,208 --> 00:26:30,400
take a certain tone.
And is that wrong?
495
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,300
Or is that correct?
Is that perceived as being
496
00:26:33,300 --> 00:26:37,600
inauthentic or what is it?
That we feel is, you know, truly
497
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,100
the way that we can show up as
ourselves and still relate very
498
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:42,800
well to who we are communicating
to.
499
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,200
So that the message is received.
Mmm.
500
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,500
Yeah, the key is like you said,
you're going to be.
501
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:51,500
I speak differently to my
children than I speak right now,
502
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:52,600
obviously?
Right?
503
00:26:52,700 --> 00:26:55,100
So it's not necessarily about
the tone.
504
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:58,700
It's about the core it's about
you being at the core, the same
505
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:03,000
person Not necessarily putting
on like, oh I need to be.
506
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,900
I'm not as confident.
If I walk into this room.
507
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:09,400
I'm afraid when I walk into this
room, I think of it.
508
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,000
Physically, like, when you're in
the situation, you feel like the
509
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,400
lump and your the back of your
throat.
510
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,200
That is a filter that is fear.
There is some sort of message
511
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,600
and you that's being applied in
the stomach.
512
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,900
It can happen.
Sadly.
513
00:27:21,900 --> 00:27:25,400
And number and a number of ways.
Yes, yes, exactly.
514
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,300
And so I think that there's it's
important to be able to
515
00:27:28,300 --> 00:27:31,500
recognize that in our our bodies
and feel into that and breathe
516
00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:35,100
into that of like, is this, you
know, is this an emotion or is
517
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:38,400
this truly me filtering
something because that's what
518
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,400
will come next for people is
that will feel like that
519
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,200
excitement or that fear, or that
need to be a certain way.
520
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,600
And then it's like, oh now I
have to change the way that I
521
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,600
word things now I have to make
sure I don't speak about that
522
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,500
part.
So like, for me to give you a
523
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:55,700
specific example, you know, I
have a different tone regardless
524
00:27:55,700 --> 00:27:58,400
of where I'm speaking or if I'm
talking to the kids or whatever.
525
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:04,500
But at Mike, Or I am so okay,
with my history, what I went
526
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:08,400
through, I've really shame, I
really judgment and so I don't
527
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,400
need.
I'm so unafraid of, I could walk
528
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,300
into any room, it regardless of
somebody's income level their
529
00:28:15,300 --> 00:28:19,300
title, whatever and be myself
and say, yes, that was my
530
00:28:19,300 --> 00:28:20,600
history.
That was my past.
531
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,500
This is who I am now.
And so, while the tone may
532
00:28:23,500 --> 00:28:27,000
change, the core doesn't mmm.
So for some people, it might be
533
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,300
breaking through the discomfort.
Effort of feeling shame or
534
00:28:31,300 --> 00:28:35,100
feeling that they are not able
to necessarily release that
535
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:37,300
trauma, like, it will be
constantly bringing it back up,
536
00:28:37,300 --> 00:28:39,000
you know, triggers certain
things.
537
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,000
And so that is perhaps the
deeper healing that needs to
538
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,400
happen in order for them to
truly feel that they can express
539
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,700
themselves fully.
Otherwise, they might be hiding
540
00:28:47,700 --> 00:28:51,600
or there might be this duplicity
that starts to evolve out in
541
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,000
trying to Showcase a certain
base or filter as you say with,
542
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,500
you know, anybody that they're
coming in contact with.
543
00:28:57,500 --> 00:28:59,900
That's exactly it.
Yeah, that's Exactly.
544
00:28:59,900 --> 00:29:02,500
It is, it's not again.
We're multifaceted.
545
00:29:02,500 --> 00:29:06,500
And so we are different people,
but it's all the same person.
546
00:29:06,500 --> 00:29:10,100
So, what we have to be really
cognizant of is, what are you
547
00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:12,100
changing about the actual
person?
548
00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:13,400
That's what I mean about the
war.
549
00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:14,600
Hmm.
Brilliant.
550
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,800
And so, you are a life coach,
how can people work with you?
551
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,900
How do they find you?
And what do you offer?
552
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:22,500
Yeah, so I have a couple of
different options.
553
00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:26,300
It's very interesting because I
am so weird about titles.
554
00:29:26,300 --> 00:29:28,600
It's like, there's business
coaching, there's life coaching,
555
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,600
but truly, Lee I've worked with
women all over the world for 11
556
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,400
years now and different
Industries.
557
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,200
And the best place to find me is
on Instagram.
558
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,300
That's you know my home place
and usually you can just DM me
559
00:29:41,300 --> 00:29:43,000
on there and have a
conversation.
560
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,200
I love talking to people.
I love getting to know people.
561
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,100
I love helping women, you know,
break through barriers and
562
00:29:49,100 --> 00:29:52,200
really free themselves.
So they can create, you know,
563
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,300
their true potential and step
into the power that's actually
564
00:29:55,300 --> 00:29:57,900
meant for them because that's
what holds us back from living
565
00:29:57,900 --> 00:29:59,700
our purposes.
We just make our Ourselves
566
00:29:59,700 --> 00:30:01,700
smaller.
So yeah, that's where I hang
567
00:30:01,700 --> 00:30:03,700
amazing.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is
568
00:30:03,700 --> 00:30:06,700
tell seek Henry, please look her
up on Instagram.
569
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:09,500
I'll put all of her information
in the show notes that you can
570
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:12,100
