About Vicki Noethling

Show Notes

Leaders have to coach, counsel, encourage and motivate. How we say what we say matters.

By first writing down our thoughts we  become better speakers, teachers, mentors, and coaches.

Issues in speaking (and teaching, mentoring, and coaching) come from a lack of clear, concise communication.

Our words, and tone, need to come from our gut.

Before we respond it's critical to take time to listen to the other person. Actively listen to what is said.

When speaking publicly in person arrive early enough so you can talk to people in the audience. Make sure your talk is going to resonate by asking what brought them today, what they hope to learn, what their experience has been, etc. 

When speaking on Zoom, arrive early and engage with people there. Use the chat. Invite people to answer your questions in the chat so you can hear from more people. Ask the same questions you would in a live event. 
 

During your talk, when telling your stories, do it in a way that makes the person who is listening see themselves in the story (i.e. the same thing happened to me! Or, I feel the same way). Be relatable. 

Be yourself and connect with the people who resonate with you and your story. You don't need to try to be anyone else (like a speaker you admire or who has trained you). 

Use your facial expression and gestures to connect with people. Vary your expression, your tone, and your energy.

Make your talk like a song. Songs have hooks, verses, choruses, bridges, dynamics, intros, and outros.  Listen to music and notice all the ways songs keep you engaged. Use the same ideas to make your talk engaging and keep people leaning in. 

Listen to the radio announcers to understand vocal variety.

• Your purpose is something that is inherent in you and is present throughout your life. It is the thread that connects all of your experiences and drives your actions and decisions.
• Your mission is the specific way that you express and fulfill your purpose. It is the goal or objective that you are working towards in a particular aspect of your life. You may have many different missions throughout your life, as your purpose and goals evolve and change.
• Your vision is the way that you see the world when you have completed your current mission. It is your long-term perspective and the impact that you hope to have on the world.
• Your values are the things that matter most to you and shape how you show up in your mission. They are the guiding principles that inform your actions and decisions and help you stay true to your purpose.
• Do not get taken off course by the events happening around you.
• Stay in the present moment by noticing what is happening in your world right now.

Feeling depressed ranges from feelings of sadness to feelings that life is no longer worth living. Robin is not a doctor but she has been directly impacted by the outcomes of severe depression when her beloved Aunt Judy ended her life several years ago. 

In this micro episode, Robin asks hard questions, triggering questions, not to make you feel worse but to get underneath the hood and potentially expose what's operating beneath the surface of feeling depressed.

Anger is the HOT emotion and keeps people at a distance. Although we can feel righteous in our anger, it doesn't always serve us or our relationships with others. We can get a handle on it when we dig into our triggers that set us up for feeling angry.

1. It's critical to do our best to maintain our balance during unsettling times. One way to help ourselves is to watch what we allow into our lives (such as movies, media, and conversations). 
2. Each of us has natural cycles. These cycles happen in all areas of our lives including our business & personal life. 

3. It's very important to recharge yourself so you can give to your family, clients, and relationships. Recharging is doing what feels good to you like dancing, sleeping, walking, reading, exercising, etc...

4. If we don't recharge, we eventually run out of juice. We become less effective. 

5. When we are able to sync our business cycle with our personal cycle, we have more to give our clients. 
6. It's good, and important to take breaks. Not only do we need breaks, but other people need breaks from us!

SHOW NOTES

Disappointment can take many forms, but it usually comes from unmet expectations. Of course, it can be triggered by any number of situations where we feel let down. It can also be habitual - we can develop a habit of setting ourselves up to be disappointed by not getting clarity about the results we're expecting. Learn how to spot the 'set up' and avoid it or resolve it when it happens.

About Sandra: 

Give Sandra Halling the business equivalent of a 5,000 piece jigsaw puzzle and she can make it look like the picture on the box. As founder of The Data Mavens, she’s dedicated to helping entrepreneurs and executives design their workflow and systems to feel organized, have peace of mind and prioritize what matters to them. Sandra is an expert on platforms like Deltek Vision, Notion, and ClickUp but her real priority is helping you develop better work habits by achieving Aligned Productivity—that is to say, aligning your work with your values.

Show Notes: 

Our goals represent our values.  When what you do during the day doesn't line up with your goals, the solution is to align your work with your values. 

Systems may work but aren't the solution to productivity. 

Systems don't adjust for the seasons of your life or for the actual day-to-day living and unexpected situations that happen. 

The idea of 'consistent output all the time'  doesn’t leave space for humanity.

A question to ask is how do we FEEL about what we’re focused on?

We need to give ourselves permission and space to figure out what we want to focus on.

It usually takes someone on the outside to help us to see what we value but we can also look at our calendar and our budget to help us see what we are valuing. 

When you deviate from your plan to be productive, it's good to notice how what you chose to do supported you and your goals and how it supported your boundaries. 

We thrive in community. Having others to support us in our goals is critical to our success.

Show Notes: 

We all have patterns of behavior that are passed down by our families (parents).  Those patterns supported us, but may be outdated now.

Our parents did their best and wanted to keep us safe, but not all patterns support us in living with peace and joy today.

We have a choice. We can choose to continue in our patterns (martyrdom, victim, overdoer, people pleaser, etc) or, when they reveal themselves, we can choose to behave or believe something else.

Show Notes

We create an identity for ourselves when we are about 2 years old. We think of it as The Ego. 

Our Ego helps to keep us safe but it is not actually us. 

When we recognize that our ego is NOT us, if we are willing to pay attention and become aware, the ego can become the servant, not the master (your True Self can be the Master). 

Your True Self is already there. It gives you access to peace, clarity, freedom, happiness, and love.

As our True Self, we can be in our life creating from our peace and clarity.

We no longer have to find our worthiness through our accomplishments (per The Ego).

The work is waking up to our true self. It's a gradual process of learning to see through the illusion of self we’ve created. Dr. Fred calls these moments 'glimpses'. 
 

To begin, slow down. Notice your feelings. Get more clarity about the feelings you have.

Your True Self isn’t mystical. It’s who you are.

These triggers invite us to pay attention to what's below the surface. If we feel anger, what is beneath the anger? Is it indignation or injustice, or disrespect? 

It's good for us to begin to notice what's bothering us or triggering us. Once we notice something, we can choose what we want to do (or not do) to resolve the feelings and remove the trigger.

Akashic Records: They are the keys to your soul. They can be accessed and read. They reveal our gifts. 

We’re here to express our gifts, not to search for our purpose.

You’re here to speak your truth. How you want to do that is up to you.

You have gifts to express and how you do that is up to you. There is no one right way to express your gifts.

When expressing your gift, if it isn’t joyful, you may be off track. Notice how it feels in your body. Pay attention to your intuition.

Your intuition can be developed.

Beliefs are chosen.

When you’re in fear, you’re in the future, making up stories about what might happen.

If you make up stories about the future, make up stories that support you

Show Notes: 

There's a mouse in the room…because the elephant is not alone. The mouse represents our unspoken, unexpressed feelings, thoughts, and body sensations that have a real impact on our experiences and our relationships. They are unspoken because we spend so much time trying to get what we want and trying not to get in trouble at the same time. 

When we’re willing to risk being more truthful in an artful way life gets better.

The Mouse in the Room is more subtle.  The mouse may be a disappointment you experienced; something that happened that you still have a feeling about. It may be something you need to confess to from years ago. It could be something you desire but have not had the courage to express. 

Speaking the truth about these mice frees up energy for me.  We can not underestimate what it can do for the other person. 

The reason we don’t name our mice: it can be awkward. It can be challenging. But we demonstrate our leadership when we are willing to.

When she’s not working with youth and parents, Elizabeth enjoys distance running, writing, travel adventures, fine food, wine, the ocean, and life! She lives in Calgary, Alberta Canada with her partner and their curly, cuddly dog.  

Show Notes

One of the biggest challenges for parents today is being present and emotionally available. 

Distractions and sometimes relaxed or unclear boundaries with our children contribute to the difficulty in relationships. 

Social media tends to lead to less communication and fewer conversations between parents and their children.

We can learn how to connect with our children no matter their age.  

We need to make time to be fully available. 

It is very helpful to be curious, interested and engaged when we're talking/listening to our children. 

When we come from curiosity, it gives our children space to express their ideas and an acknowledgment of them. It tells them that they can have an opinion, too. 

Tips for Communication from Elizabeth (these are all skills that can be learned):

When communicating with our children, listen from a place of wanting to understand, not judge. 

Give kids time to find a flow in the conversation. 

Make yourself available to them for at least 20 minutes a day (with no distractions).

Jessica Blasingame is a CPA, who specializes in financial services for creative entrepreneurs. She leads an all-woman team at Beam Financial Group, which takes a holistic approach in supporting small business owners, helping them to become more competent, connected, and aligned with their business finances.

Show Notes: 

Creative entrepreneurs can create more certainty and stability in their businesses by using forecasts and frameworks. 

A Financial Forecast: 

• look forward to the future 
• think through your future plans
• imagine various scenarios

A Financial Framework:

• a systematic way to plug in your numbers and see outcomes
• allows you to try various scenarios

Forecasts and frameworks give you the opportunity to ask:  Can I afford this? When can I afford it?

Looking at different scenarios helps us see what we need to do to achieve those results. For example, if you need to hit a certain revenue number then you can look at a variety of ways to do that and how each of them impacts that number. Understanding your numbers reduces anxiety about the future.

Using these tools helps you to ask a lot of questions and get a lot of answers so you can get the full cost pictures and choose wisely.

Show Notes: 

What do you want to experience in your life and let’s build your business so you can do that.

Give yourself permission to decide - who do I want to be, what do I want to do, what do I want to contribute.

What quality of life are you looking for? Who do you want to spend your time with? What do you want to do with the time you have?

Deprogramming -

We were told to: go to school, get a job, get married, have children.  But, do those things fit? Are they what you want? Where is your heart leading you?

Most important mindset (in life and in business):  Start the day with, It’s a glorious day, I have more than enough of all that I need, and anything I lack I can ask and receive.

Know that. And know that you have resources to share. Figure out where the gaps are so you can fill those in. Then, fill yourself to overflowing and then give from the overflow.

Social Capital - I give, I get.  Remember, you give from your overflow.

About Networking

Ask: What community do I want to join? Get very clear about your values first. Be very careful about what you join because we have to be judicious about the people we spend time with.

Ask: Who I am

Ask: What resources do I have in excess that I can share?

Then I need a system for keeping track of what I’ve given and what I’ve received.

Notes:

If you want things to change, you have to become somebody new (to get different results).

When you work from your higher self things flow.

Quantum leaps in business come from quantum leaps in your beingness.

We bring our ‘art’ to the world. If we go into business with a purpose, mission, or passion, then we bring our heart into our business and that's when the magic happens. 

About compromise: 

As soon as you make one accommodation, you're willing to subvert your higher self and you’ll do it again and again. Subverting your higher self won't bring you happiness. 
 

We also need to look at innovation as a key component to standing out (breaking the mold of what's already being done in the marketplace). 

The more disruptive you are, the more unique and memorable you are. You even create your own niche by innovating and disrupting the status quo. 

The higher you go, the more slings and arrows come your way. Not because you’re wrong, but because people become jealous when other people rise.  Keep going.

Follow Up is one of the missing components for many entrepreneurs. 48% of entrepreneurs do not follow up after meeting a prospective client. 

Persistence is key.

Having a systematic way to follow up makes your follow-up predictable and effective.

Show Notes:

This episode is Robin's personal process for identifying and accountably ending outdated commitments, promises & agreements self and with others. 

1. When we break an agreement with ourselves, we can either judge it or accept it and release it.
2. When we need to clean something up with someone else, we need to be prepared with specific steps.
3. With others, ask to renegotiate & ask for what you want.
4. Commit to creating a 'win-win' or nothing at all.

About Jay:  Jay is the founder of Gonzo Parenting, a comedic and cathartic Facebook community to help parents laugh and heal with like-minded moms and dads. He's a writer, healer, and mentor who thinks that the biggest challenge of child-rearing is doing the personal work necessary to become the parents we want to be. He's a former attorney, restauranteur and business coach. He lives with his wife and six year old boy/girl twins in Sonoma, CA.

Show Notes:

The most important thing: That our children feel loved and safe.

Mindfulness & Meditation help with being our best with our kids.

Especially now, it’s important to stay grounded and present for our kids.

Stay in the present - the past brings guilt, and the future brings fear.

Staying present sometimes means pulling yourself out of the ‘world’ of Social Media, news, and conversations and back into the moment and being with your children.

About  Shellee: 

Shellee Howard is the owner and president of College Ready. She is a college graduate and is a Certified Educational Planner. Shellee has a son who graduated from Harvard in the spring of 2016 debt free! Her son is currently a third-year medical student at UC San Diego.

Her daughter completed her freshman year at the University of Alabama and will complete her Nursing degree this year. Shellee has traveled around the world helping students plan for their “perfect match” college. She knows what it takes to compete in the Ivy schools as well as finding the best fit for all students. Shellee believes that no two students are the same and each student must have their own strategy and plan to be successful. Each student has a gift/talent and a passion that will set him or her apart from their competition. Getting to know your student one on one is the key to success. This can be done in person or via Zoom. College Ready has clients all over the world and each one is important. Her focus is to find the best academic, financial and social fit college for each student to thrive at and graduate debt free!

Show Notes

You don’t always need to go to the most expensive college.  There are three things to base your college decision on:

1. The right academic fit
2. The right social fit
3. The right financial fit

Sometimes, It’s not where you graduate from, it’s how well you do in college.

It's important to help your kids make their college choice. It is a huge decision with many implications. 
 

You can begin the college conversation very early by planting the seed about going to college so you can have a bigger conversation with kids when they are in grade school.

The process of preparing should really start when they graduate from eighth grade.  These questions will help you and your child determine where they should go and what they may want to study. 

What are you passionate about?

What are your core values?

What are you good at?

If you start early, getting college-ready can be gentle and fun….When they’re older, it ends up feeling more like firehouse preparation….

Colleges are not looking at what you’re doing to impress them. Instead, they are looking at your passion that leads to a purpose that allows you to demonstrate your leadership.

Colleges want to know how you will stand out….They want to see and want students to see their uniqueness. They want to see:

Early community service

Early demonstration of a passion

Early demonstration of leadership

College Ready works with students one-on-one and creates a 'Standout Strategy' for each student. They work together to create their college-ready resume based on that strategy. Their clients have someone on their side every step of the way.

Two big questions that Shelle gets asked by parents every day:

How do I know what my student is passionate about?

How do I pick the right college?

Shellee asks them those questions and records them for parents so they can hear their answers.

Have someone ‘safe’ do this with your child….it’s different being asked by someone who is curious and from whom they feel no judgment.

About Stephanie: 

Stephanie Weiderstrand is the founder of Beyond Special. She inspires families raising children on the autism spectrum to find hope, purpose, and clarity even amid the stress and chaos the atypical parenting journey brings. You can have the peace and calm you seek on the home front, the purposeful and intentional family relationship you desire, and claim back the life you thought is no longer yours. From living a life of reactive chaos at the homefront as a norm, it is time to get proactive and create the harmony and best possible life for our family by leveraging TODAY to support a better future for you and your family. Our transformation begins with our one purposeful step every day.

Find Stephanie: https://beyond-special.com/

Show Notes: 

Having a child who is on the Autism Spectrum can be completely overwhelming and all-consuming. It's very important to care for yourself so that you can have the energy to care for your family. 

If you’re not feeling excited about life, if you dread the day knowing what is ahead, you can take small steps toward more happiness.

The question Stephanie asks herself is: What can I do today to make tomorrow easier?

Focus on just one thing. What is the ONE thing you can do today to make tomorrow easier? 

Those things compound. Those daily things add up over time and you'll see the progress. 

For Stephanie, it initially was waking up earlier. Having a quiet cup of tea. It eventually became spending 5 minutes each day teaching her daughter to get dressed.

Our worries about our kids are valid but they do not help us move forward.

Instead of worrying, ask the empowering question, what can I do today to make tomorrow easier. 

It gives us more hope, more courage, and encouragement to keep taking small steps forward toward thriving, not just surviving.

Annie Schuessler is a business coach and the host of the podcast, Rebel Therapist Podcast. With her Rebel Therapist Program, she helps therapists, healers, and coaches make an impact beyond traditional private practice.  She is currently offering 'Create Your Program' and she also offers a Mastermind for business owners. 

Show Notes

Annie has created a business centered around her values including simplicity and  boundaries to protect her energy. 

Simplicity & boundaries protect her time and energy and allow her to excel at what she does, serve her clients at a higher level and honor her boundaries.

We have to know ourselves and set boundaries that work for us. 

Annie made a transition to her new business fairly slowly but in hindsight, she realizes it would have been better to do it faster because she had a foot in each business (which wasn't easy). 

Now that Annie has one business and a standard program that she repeats, she finds herself enjoying repeating and refining her process with clients.

Find Robin: quitproofkids.com

Show Notes: 

To be in communication with our teens, we must be willing and able to adapt our parenting style. 

The basis of communication is listening. 

No matter how the world changes (technology, challenges, concerns) at the end of the day, our kids are humans and humans basically stay the same with the same needs for love and acceptance.  

We have to be able to see the person in front of us and look at their heart and see the value in what they are bringing. 

Whatever your teenager reflects back to you, you can use it to adjust your parenting and be relevant to them.

SHOW NOTES:

Being in communities of women is helpful because often we don't know that other women share similar thoughts and struggles. When we share the struggle, the stigma goes away.

Part of mental health is choosing what’s right for us and what brings us peace.

Warning signs that you have a mental health issue: 

If you’re not feeling amazing, or good - what does your mental health actually feel like?  Are you

1. Not feeling like yourself?

2.  Reacting in ways that are not typical for you?

3.  Experiencing rage, irritability, or anger that isn’t normal for you?

If you answer yes, then you may be dealing with stress (and sub-optimal mental health)

The pandemic has put us under tremendous stress.

We are in a constant state of a low-grade flight or fight.

We may not always feel worried but the body still feels the stress.

If you’re not feeling like yourself, target the amygdala. It is probably over-activated (it is the fight-or-flight part of the brain). You can help your amygdala to calm down by: 

1. Focusing on your sleep
2. Limiting the amount you go on your phone, watch the news, open emails….to avoid scary things
3. Exercise
4. Connect with others

About Angelica: 

I am a proud mother of two beautiful girls. 15 years ago, after a very bad conflict at work, I discovered personal development books for myself. I set on a journey to master the art of life, to understand who I was, to find my life purpose, and most of all to understand why my life was actually not the way I wanted it to be. I spent 15 years going through the dark sides of my soul. I was caught in the drama of an emotionally and physically abusive relationship for 10 years. After my marriage dissolved I had to face the consequences of the years of abuse and self-neglect. I was suffering from PTSD. The journey to healing was not an easy one, yet it had its profound gifts for me. I experienced true healing and found my passion to help women break free from the grip of toxic relationships. I use my own intuition, Inner child work, Akashic Records, and Kundalini Yoga technology to bring true transformation into women’s lives.

About Jennie: 

Jennie Bellinger is a Certified Professional Coach and the host of the Badass Direct Sales Mastery Podcast. She works with badass direct sales moms to move from making $100 monthly to reaching the top 1% of their organization. 

An entrepreneur since 2010, she understands the desire to contribute to your family's future and be present with them in the here and now, and how difficult balancing those two priorities can be. So Jennie has learned the hard way (while building two separate businesses, raising two kids, and navigating a divorce) to fulfill that need to contribute and be there for her children. Jennie is also known as The Direct Sales Domme. Luckily, as a Certified Professional Coach, her methods are very effective, not painful.

Show Notes: 

Don’t count on your friends and family to buy your products. Ask them if you can practice on them but remove any expectations that you are trying to sell them something or convince them to buy.

It is important to focus on what your client needs NOT how much money you’re going to make.

What problem does your product solve? Go find people who have that problem. 

Solve problems for people.

Don’t try to convince someone….rather, have a conversation about their problem, and see if you can help them.

Referrals come from people that you’ve helped.

About Karen: 

Karen Stanley is an entrepreneur, professional Mezzo-Soprano, yogi, hiker and laugh-way-too-loud-er. As Amazon’s #1 mate seeking, new release author and frequent self-improvement podcast guest, she explains it best herself: “Hi, I’m Karen! I’m not a doctor or a psychologist. I was a single mom for a thousand years (OK, eight), and I finally experienced real love after dealing with abuse, going through divorce and facing bankruptcy, foreclosure and repossession of my car – all while raising two kids alone. After struggling with self-worth and attracting the wrong partner time and time again, I realized if you want to manifest the life you’ve always wanted, you must become the person you’ve always wanted to be. I believe no matter what we’ve gone through, we can experience lasting-love – starting with ourselves.”

Show Notes:

For every experience  take ‘Radical Responsibility’. 

Ask:

• How did I show up?
• How did I participate?
• What are the golden nuggets for me?
• How can I grow from the experience.
• What’s my part in this (drama triangle - (See Caneel Joyce’s Podcast with Robin)

You have to pay attention and be aware that you ended up in drama again. When that happens, we have to slow down and take a step back.

Ask: 

What have I done to create joy and peace in my life?

What have a done to create pain?

Then, learn from the experience to become a better person.

Ask: What is each person in my life teaching me?

Ask: What do I want? When you know, become that person. If you say (as an example):

'I want someone who is 100% in integrity. I want someone who has lots of energy. I want someone who takes care of their body. I want someone who is grateful……'

You have to BE those things to attract people who are those things.

If I don’t speak my mind with the people in my life, then I give permission for them to do those things that bother me or things I don’t want.

It’s also important to acknowledge our own growth.

Don’t waste your time trying to figure out why something happens or why someone did something.

Figure yourself out. That's way more productive!

SHOW NOTES

When we live in our 'Zone of Genius' we enjoy 'flow' where without 'working hard'. We feel good and making a contribution is easy and natural. 

Get into flow by noticing how things make you feel. 

• What foods make you feel good?
• What exercise/movement feels good?
• What activities feel good? 
• What people make you feel good when you're with them?

Pay attention to how you feel and chose things that feel good and make you happy. 

It takes awareness to stay in flow because we are wired to go off track. Being human means that we're inclined to go into a state of threat - meaning, there is something I need to control. 

It is human nature to live in the 'Drama Triangle' where we feel like we need to be right about something. It could be as simple as being 'right' that I don't have enough time or energy or resources. 

It could also be a judgment of self or of others (being right about someone). 

The Drama Triangle consists of these three 'people' (any one of these can be me):

Victim - Powerless, 'he/she made me', I had no choice, it's someone else's fault

Villain  - Makes judgments about situations or people - right/wrong, good/bad, the critic

Hero  - The one who must save, rescue, redeem, make problems go away, ends suffering

To escape the 'Drama Triangle', one must surrender being 'right'. I may be right. I may be wrong. It doesn't matter. 

Can you be okay with saying, 'I don't know'?

Show Notes

Empowering Questions help us reframe from focusing on what isn’t working and open our sense of awareness.

Through new awareness  you can see opportunities you haven’t considered before.

When we ask empowering questions, they can cause us to be curious and ponder and they remove the emotion. 

Empowering question never starts with the word ‘why’. When we ask why, it brings in defenses, ego and emotion. 

Empowering questions are specific and time bound.

When you ask someone else an empowering question, be silent while you wait for their answer.

She is an International Publicist/Purpose/Personal Branding Coach, a Twin Mom, 4x Amazon Bestselling Author, featured on Forbes, Elle, CBS, Radiant Magazine & more. 

Show Notes:

Purpose is the thing we are made for - just as a piano is for playing, you have a purpose to fulfill. 

We often get lost in the evolution process as we move toward our purpose. We head toward our purpose but get distracted for days, months, even years by other things. 

Having multiple passions during the evolution is great - as long as we learn from them. When it's time to transition to another passion, take the opportunity to figure out what you learned from the one you're ending. 

When you're living on purpose, there will be indicators (and they can be different for everyone), such as:

• time stops when I'm doing it
• I feel joy
• I want to do this all the time
• it feels easy

Having a team of people who can support you so you can focus on your purpose is key. It could be as simple as having someone else mow your lawn so you can write a chapter in your book or build your community.  It could be hiring a graphic designer or a bookkeeper (not part of your purpose).

Certainty about your purpose gives you a huge confidence boost and the ability to show up clear and impactful.

About David:

David is a former consulting actuary to Fortune 100 companies. He built the world’s largest coaching business, becoming #1 on Google for life coaching and coaching thousands of hours in 12 countries around the globe. 

As well as helping others, David is no stranger to overcoming challenges himself, having survived a full collapse of his paraglider and a fractured spine, witnessing the death of his sister at age seven, anxiety and depression, and a national Gong Show! 

He coaches high performing business owners to double revenue, and their time off by focusing on less and being 30% more courageous in their business or career.

Show Notes:

David is committed to freedom but perhaps values emotional freedom the most. 

Emotional freedom looks like being fully expressed and asking for what you really want.

That requires courage. 

When we can ask for what we want, the true win is in the self-expression: 

Self-expression is the courage to ask for what you want….regardless of the outcome.

We don’t want to look back at the end of life and wish we'd had the courage to do something bigger.

In business, If you want to make more money, you have to have more courage. When you reach out and call 10 people, that takes courage. 

The Discomfort Zone:
Where is your discomfort zone? We need to dream bigger and find those edges.

When you feel a little nervous or excited, you’re bumping up against your discomfort zone.
 

Productivity

People overcommit all the time - both men and women.

We take on too much as business owners. On the macro level, it's best to work on the top 3 goals rather than 10 or 20 and accomplish them. 

On the micro level,  look at the next 7 days and pare it down as well to a few achievable goals. .

When you focus on less, you’ll be more successful at what you do.

Build a habit of success.

David focuses on 3 buckets with clients:

• Productivity
• Revenue

About Jennifer:

Jennifer helps working moms create habits, routines and mindset shifts that make getting healthy for life fun and easy! She's the creator of The Mom Strong Method for badass working moms. 

Show Notes: 

When working for someone else no longer feels fulfilling or makes you happy, you may be considering making the leap to entrepreneurship. However, making the leap without a safety net can cause undue stress. 

Instead, Jennifer recommends keeping your day job until it's the right time to make the change. To manage it, she recommends that you: 

1. See your current job as your ‘Dream Fund’.
2. Use your current job to buy time to get ready to make the leap
3. By keeping your current job you can work towards your dream incrementally but without the pressure HAVING to make it happen right away

It's all about Time vs. Energy. We may have the time to make progress on our entrepreneurial enterprise but first we really need to have the energy.  

To make a  move in the direction of owning your business  start with something small and master that rather than doing something drastic that is unsustainable….

Think small, incremental  steps to success even if it feels slower than you like to go. Take your time, build good habits and celebrate your wins along the way. 
 

Remember:  things change and your dreams and goals can change. There’s nothing wrong with and there are no 'rules' when you design the life you want.

Robin calls it the 'Pebble, Rock & Boulder'. First you get the pebble. If you don't learn from it, it comes back bigger (the rock). If you still don't learn from it, you get the boulder!

When Karen experienced this, she realized that she wasn't attracting the right partner because SHE wasn't who she wanted to be. She couldn't attract what she was not.

Karen focused on key areas of her life and reinvented herself with thoughtfulness and intention. The areas were: 

• health
• finances
• family
• house & home

Lois is a South African businesswoman with extensive local and international speaking, human resource, training, business management, project management, marketing, consulting, and leadership coaching experience. 

She experienced a horrific attack and  eventually set herself free through forgiveness. She now supports others to do the same. Fly Free with Lois – Your Friend for Forgiveness. 

Lois's book, Walking Without Skin: A Journey of Healing from Fear to Forgiveness  is part memoir and part self-help guide. She has developed a program for boys and men (and girls and women) - B.R.A.V.E. designed to fight toxic masculinity and eradicate gender-based domestic violence. 

Show Notes:

For this episode, I have not written extensive show notes. I feel the impact is in Lois's story and show notes won't do it justice. 

In a nutshell, forgiveness is a choice we make. Some things are relatively easy to forgive and other things require much more time and effort.

When we forgive, we set ourselves free. When we remain in unforgiveness, it takes a toll on our health (emotional, mental, spiritual and even physical). 

Forgiveness is a process and a choice but choosing it gives us back our freedom.

About Jayne 

A MASTER Scientific Hand Analyst and Purpose, Law of Attraction & Spiritual Life Coach featured in a FORBES article about her work, Jayne Sanders helps leaders, business owners, and managers love their lives and their work. 

After an MBA and many years in the corporate world, Jayne did a complete 180 and now reveals your innate purpose, special gifts and blind spots, then guides you into the inspired meaning, passion, and fulfillment you crave in life and work. 

Corporate and team benefits are numerous as well. When not doing her purpose work, Jayne can be found out on the trail riding her beautiful  Arabian/Appaloosa horse, Darby, or eating dark chocolate :) .

Show Notes

Scientific hand analysis is NOT predictive. It is not Palm Reading. It is a scientifically validated process. 

The lines and markings on your hands correlate to the neuropathways in your brain. 

The core of your purpose are found on your fingerprints. Although the lines on your hands change, your fingerprints are formed in utero and never change. 

Your hand analysis will tell you who you are and why you are here (how you are to make a difference in the world). It also reveals your blind spots.

There are 'Master Paths' and 'Student Paths' in your markings. They indicated how you feel and operate when you are living into your purpose and when you are not (the 'student' path). 

Jayne finds that when people have this kind of confidence about their purpose, they can more easily align with joy and ease. 

It doesn't matter where you are or what age you are, scientific hand analysis works!

Show Notes: 

Somewhere between women between 28 and 40 begin to reevaluate all of the choices they've made to this point. This is a transition point where women ask, 'What do I want to do and who do I want to be now?'

Women in careers begin to question what success really is. This is a normal and common experience! 

Becca guides moms through specific steps to figuring out what comes next. She initially asks women to: 

1. Identify overlap between interests and passions, skills and strengths and value add to others.
2. Make a list of your skills.
3. Ask: Who can you help? Who would hire you to help them?
4. What specific amount of money do you need to make?

Before you change careers, it’s critical that you go through a process of evaluation so you don’t end up swapping one career that doesn’t make you happy for another.

Sometimes you have to give yourself permission to ask the tough questions and change direction.

Doing the introspection isn't necessarily easy to do alone or to even carve out the time we need to do this important processing but, it's important to get the support we need.

Our happiness and satisfaction in our career directly impacts the quality of every other aspect of our lives. 

Success is different for everyone. You can consider:

• What does it look like for you?
• What are the goals for your future self?
• And, are the decisions I’m making aligned with my goals?

It’s also important to check your goals and make sure they are still taking you in the direction you want to go. You can change your mind along the way.

About Kenya: 

Kenya is a Wellness Coach who loves helping busy moms to create more balance in their lives while reducing stress by practicing yoga on and off the mat. In addition to raising two kids, she's  a Course Creator, College Professor, and Podcast Host of "From My Mat to Yours" (available anywhere you listen to your podcast).

Show Notes

There a number of styles of Yoga. Be sure to do some research and  find what works for you.

There  is Yoga for mindfulness, Yoga for a workout, Yoga with music and Yoga without.

There is Yoga that focuses on the energy centers (Chakras) and Kenya has found that really helpful in learning to be more present and understanding, especially with her children.

She has learned how to be more mindful of her thoughts which in turn, has helped her to teach her kids that, too.

Once we 'get it', we can help our kids with mindfulness and recognizing that there are always consequences (positive or negative) to our actions.

When we are more mindful, we can see that we have both choice and responsibility. This always applies to ourselves and to our children.

Some tips about what you should look for in yoga and how to make it a regular part of your week:

1. Ask: What do you want to accomplish with Yoga?  Reduce stress? Burn calories? Build strength?
2. Do your best to establish a regular time to practice Yoga.
3. Schedule it into your planner.
4. Start with a duration that is workable, like 20 minutes.
5. Do it 2x a week to begin with and establish a habit.
6. Aim for accomplishing this - so you have the experience of success.

In Facebook: Untying the Knots of Divorce Women's Group (private group, request to join)

About Marisa

Marisa is a certified life coach who has mastered strategies that empower women in her private practice to cultivate an authentic life overflowing with love, meaning and passion. After having checked all the boxes that she thought were going to lead her to the happiness she craved, something deep inside her was still missing. 

Purpose emerged through her most difficult time; an entangled divorce with two children, a very opinionated Italian family without much support. She developed tools and strategies to untie the knots of divorce that bound her and started living a life of freedom. 

In her coaching she guides women through untying the knots of divorce and teaches them how to emerge into their highest self. 

Show Notes

Women often make check lists of what they think they want when they're growing up and imagining their future.  But, those lists are often incomplete (simply because we don't know everything!).

Having a relationship with ourselves is often left off that list (cultivating love for ourselves and taking care not to lose ourselves in service to our family).

When we divorce, we experience a crisis of identity. "I'm no longer someone's wife".

 It can feel like we've lost ourselves. 

If you are considering divorce, do NOT make a decision from a place of reaction. 

Get a coach who can be neutral (not a friend, not a family member) and who can give you tools and processes to work through it. 

Get into a place emotionally where you can make good decisions. 

It is normal to feel isolated when you're going through a divorce. You may feel numb but you have to be willing to really look at what's happening and feel your emotions. Just like a caterpillar, you are in a transition and you have to go through it to emerge. 

A coach can help you learn to dismantle stories, defuse triggers and through unconditional love for yourself and others, find a way to forgiveness and freedom.

About Crystal

Crystal is parent coach for moms and Canadian homeschooling mama of 4. She merges positive parenting concepts with life coaching tools to help parents manage difficult behaviors in their children, without time-outs, yelling or threats.

Show Notes

Crystal helps mom with positive parenting and loves to help parents of children who are  neurodivergent or whose behaviors are challenging. 'Neurodivergent' is a term that describes children who have learning differences including Autism, ADD, ADHD, ODD, OCD, etc...

Our expectations of our children can lead to our frustration. 

When we can show up with more curiosity we can be more compassionate toward our children. 

There can be more than 'one story' behind our child's behavior. 

There are 4 areas that impact our kids and their behavior: 

1. Food & Water
2. Connection with us
3. Screen time
4. Movement

Crystal recommends a 'screen reset' to help your family identify and reduce the addiction to screens. Start with yourself and see how your screen habits are effecting you. 

Our kids cannot self regulate when they are young. It's up to us to help them manage their screen time.

Moms who feel like pulling out their hair or kicking their teenager or young adult out of the home come to Christine for help getting their teen to listen and developing a more connected, meaningful, and respectful relationship with them. Christine is the author of the Amazon best-seller Project: LIFE – Stop Waiting for Your Happy to Happen. 

Although she studied spirituality for over 20 years and earned a Master of Science Degree as well Spiritual Life Coach and Energy Codes® Certifications, it was only through her past of loss, abuse, suffering, and illness that Christine could become the powerful and compassionate leader that she is today. 

Through her elaborate studies and learning from trial and error while parenting her own teens, Christine developed a proven system that's rooted in science, spirituality, and psychology so moms can stop feeling frustrated and worried about their teens and start enjoying a meaningful and connected relationship with them, like they used to when their kids were younger. Christine is a single mom of a teen, a young adult, and a chihuahua. She lives her passion-filled life of service in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

Show Notes

"What boundaries do you have in place today? Is it what you've chosen or are you just doing it because it's the way it's always been done?"  

There are two ends of the spectrum when it comes to parenting - Authoritative and Permissive. Neither really help our kids. 

We learn and grow from our experiences - and so do our kids.

We need to update our boundaries and not just inherit them from old parenting paradigms or from our parents. 

We have to be confident about the boundaries we choose and be able to own them. Then, we have to give ourselves permission to follow through with consequences and rewards. 

Consequences should closely match the boundary that was violated. 

Watching our teens grow and supporting them requires that we be present in their experience. Allowing them to go through tough experiences may save them from more hardship down the road. 

Remember, when things are tough, there is good in this. We can learn to be curious and ask ourselves, 'What could my teen be learning from this lesson right now?'

Christine has a series of mini courses coming up in 2021 for moms of teens.  Connect with her here:

About Paige

After surviving pulmonary embolism and anoxic brain injury at 32, Paige channeled her innate resilience into recovery.  She searched for and found whole person therapies centered around bringing all systems into balance in a way that would fill in the pieces and complement allopathic medicine. This brought in Paige’s entrepreneurial vision of connecting other under-supported brain injury survivors with integrative, holistic, functional and bio-regulatory resources and practitioners, in addition to speaking and writing about her recovery path.

Show Notes

Paige says that many things can contribute to experiencing a brain injury. She attributes anxiety medication, acne medication, an unhealthy gut biome, and her career misalignment with being the perfect set up for her embolism. 

She has been committed to finding useful ways to improve her brain and optimize her recovery. She now works with people who have brain injuries or warning signs. She consults with them and has a list of therapies that can improve or enhance their quality of life. 

Therapies that Paige has used and finds helpful include:  

• Equestrian Therapy
• Chiropractic
• Somatic Repatterning, and
• Functional neurology

Paige's message is that we ARE resilient and we should do what makes us happy for as long as we can!

Show Notes: 

Archetypes are 12 Personality types developed by Carl Jung. They are a very deep look into our psyche and are based on science. 

We each have a primary, secondary, and tertiary archetype, and they can change over time. 

Our Archetypes change as we mature, and often, new or secondary archetypes step forth after we become parents (or in times of stress or challenge). 

We are familiar with Archetypes because stories are written around archetypes - often the Hero and the Hero's Journey. Well known stories that follow the hero's journey are Star Wars, Harry Potter and the books by Tolkien (The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings Trilogy).

In business, if you know your Archetype (and Mind Type & Map of Reality), your messages are clearer and people can identify with you more easily.  You become relatable and more attractive to the right people. 

As a parent, knowing your Archetype lets you harness your superpowers, understand your challenges, avoid your triggers, and build more confidence in your choices. 

When you also know and understand the Archetype of your spouse or partner (and eventually your children), you can choose to align with the 'easy way' and intentionally avoid creating friction and frustration.

About Janine McJannet

Janine McJannet, Soul Empowerment Expert & Coach, Speaker, Poet, Host of the “Souled Out Speakin” Show, and the Founder of "The Souled Out Sisters Lounge” ... joins us to share some of her bittersweet journey. 

Janine was raised in a dysfunctional family system, with alcoholic parents at the helm. Born in Canada, and raised in Australia, she learned the then valuable trait of doing for others before she would do for herself. This led to life decisions that were not made from her heart, but from her busy people-pleasing perfectionist mind. 

She works with tired and wired women, guiding them to empower themselves by speaking their own truth and finding that innate strength to break the cycle of people pleasing and other dysfunctional traits that are no longer serving them - for the "soul" purpose of becoming the conscious relationships master of their own life.

About Cindy: 

Cindy, Breast Cancer Warrior and Mindset mentor, has committed her life to applying a spirit-based, warrior to life’s challenges.

Rivaling many obstacles in her life, she met her life time challenger of climbing the Pink Mountain when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Using all of her tools honed in previous triumphs, she chronicled her personal journey as a mission of empowering other women facing breast cancer.

Cindy supports women going through breast cancer by inspiring them to shift their perspective and tap into their inner strength beyond their imagination. Cindy is the author of 'The Pink Mountain, How To Stay Positive Through Breast Cancer, From Diagnosis To Treatment & Beyond.'

Show Notes

When you're facing a difficult diagnosis, the opportunity you have is to learn and understand from a bird’s eye view.  You can, with practice, learn to control your response and manage your mindset. 

When you’re struggling with a disease, and when you've gone through breast cancer, you are not the same  person as you used to be.  You are a new version of you. There are new pieces to you.  It’s a new puzzle.  

If you have a heartbeat, you still have a purpose in life.  It may even be that what you've experienced has had a meaningful impact on someone else. 

When you realize you have an expiration date, you also recognize a need for a change. You have to go through a series of steps to become more aware of your authentic self and help you get to the purpose you feel in your heart.

What Cindy wished she’d known about going through treatment:

  - How to be open & honest with family members about her diagnosis

  - Not to feel guilty about what she couldn't do.

 - You need time & space to heal.

 - Recovery is a very long process.

After breast cancer she realized:

  - My body will never be the same.

  - There are many changes that you experience  in your body and mind that require honesty with others around you.

Notes:

Paula began college to earn a degree in music but opted for a job that was more profitable. She found herself unfilled and so, she pivoted! 

Paula advises that when you pivot, you need support. You need people who can relate to the experience you're in the middle of.  Your inner critic will tell you that you're making a mistake and you'll need reassurance. 

Women in 9-5  job often pivot to Network Marketing because it seems less risky. Systems are in place, nearly all logistics have been handled but, someone else still tells you what to do. 

Moving to Network Marketing actually just fills the gap between where you were and where you want to be - the place where you and your soul light up!

Before you make the 'big change', Paula suggests that you:

•  write down all the things you don't like about your job
• write down what you DO want (instead)
• build your new business around your life - don't build your life around your business

Most people think they don't know how to make the leap and this is exactly why you need a coach. You don't necessarily need a business coach but you do need someone who can listen to you and allow you to be innovative and creative. 

When you're innovative, you become your own brand and not a copy of someone else.

Finally, MINDSET is the critical foundational needed to pivot. You must be able to show up with the right energy everywhere you go and in every conversation.

About Tony: 

Tony has helped thousands of businesses survive crises. Whether it was post 9/11, during the Great Recession or amidst massive company acquisitions, Tony has helped businesses navigate the uncertainties and emerge stronger on the other side. 

As a child, Tony experienced firsthand the devastating crisis of business failure when his parents’ small business failed and they lost everything, including their home. Its impact on his life was powerful. Having lost everything, he determined he would one day figure out how to help business owners like his parents by learning how to run a profitable business. This mission shaped his entire 20-year career. 

As an entrepreneur, business owner, and enterprise marketer, Tony worked with, literally, the best businesses in every industry, including Google, Microsoft, ADP, Ford, BMW, Sunrise Senior Living, and Foster Grant to name a few. And he has helped grow over 10,000 small businesses and a dozen Fortune 500 companies. 

After working with the best businesses across hundreds of industries, he learned how they grow consistently and predictably, using adversity to pivot towards opportunity in order to survive and thrive in all manner of economic conditions.

 His mission now has a name: Democratize Marketing — to share with small business owners and entrepreneurs exactly What to Do to grow profitably, How to Do It, and How to Leverage the Resources to Make It Happen. He believes that by growing small businesses, together we can impact not just our local communities but also our world.

Show Notes: 

To understand how your business is doing, there are two measures to consider: 

What money is coming in, and when is the money coming in (cash flow). 

In business you must slow down to speed up.  
You must break things down methodically. This takes time but allows you to go faster later. 

Tony's mission is to 'Democratize Marketing': 

Marketing currently has a lot of fragmentation in marketing (where we share our message).

Marketing is cluttered (we're competing with messaging from all companies).

We also face technology challenges (how to implement our marketing).

We need marketing strategies, which are: 

1. What to do (focus on a channel, like Facebook or Google)

2. How to do it - create a plan for your marketing

3. Take action on your plan. 

We want to focus on 'Growth Compounding' which is doing a multitude of small things that give you exponential business growth.

There are six growth factors in marketing:

- Markets you're serving

- Your products and services

- Your value

 - How you get new buyers

 - How  you increase the size of buyers

 - The loyalty of those buyers

One you know that, this is when you create your plan.  If you have a 5-10 year plan for your business, you can make better decisions.

About Stephen, The Profit Doctor

My passion is to help businesses to increase their cash flow and profits so they can survive in today’s environment. I help entrepreneurs and businesses to increase their sales by tripling their response rate in their marketing messages. After they increase their sales, I make them aware that a majority of businesses are leaving thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, on the table during their normal operations. I show them how to grab that cash and put it into their pockets to increase their cash flow, especially in this new pandemic environment.

Notes

Many business owners have very little information about the ways they can keep more of the money they generate. There are different avenues available if you know where to look.

One of the most important things right now is to really connect with potential clients - not by talking at them, but by finding out where they're struggling and what kind of help they need. 

We can (and should) craft an elevator pitch that is succinct and directly relates to the solution we provide.

Before you give your elevator pitch, find out more about the person you're speaking with.

Start with a broad question about their business, then narrow down.

People really want to know 'What's in it for me?" when you're talking to them. 

Joint Ventures are a great way to connect to more people and potentially reach more clients who you can help.

Notes

When approaching being an entrepreneur, it's important to ask:

What do you love to do?

How do you love to do it?

Next, figure our where your ideal clients are and how they'd love to work with you. 

We have to consider how our clients want to receive our services.  For example, Michelle loves to speak and she connects best with people who love to listen (via podcasting). 

We need to understand the difference between 'strategy' and 'tactics'.  

The Strategy may be to meet people where they are. The Tactics might then be how - via online programs, a book, a podcast, etc...

Next, we need to determine where they begin with us and how they continue to work with us (also known as The Ladder of Ascension). 

We can bring in our hobbies and other ways of expressing ourselves once we've connected with our clients through their primary way of working with us. For example, if our clients get to know and love us via our podcast (auditory learning), we can introduce our hobby of, photography, for example, at a later date. 

Some people want to go 'all in' and 'full on' in their entrepreneurial endeavors. Others prefer to take it slow. 

Trust yourself on your pace .

Be willing to try new things. Be willing to fail. 

The only way to get into mastery is experience.

It's your willingness to fail that allows you to create mastery in anything.

A great coach is one that has failed and knows how to navigate it and keep going.

Notes

Many couples don't stay together for a lifetime, and one of the indicators may be how we entered marriage in the first place. 

If we are friends first, it's easier to work through hard times together. 

After a marriage ends (for any reason), women often feel as if they've lost themselves (particularly if it was a long-term relationship).  

There is a period of reclaiming themselves. The questions to ask a woman in this phase, before she starts a new relationship are:

• What do you want?
• What are your values?
• What do you want to embrace in your life?
• How do you reestablish your self worth?

Once you know what you want and are actively creating that life, then it may be time to venture into dating. 

Much of dating now begins online. Cheryl recommends (and helps women)to  set up a profile that reflects what you want. 

You need to have a vision of what you want, what you don't want, and what you won't settle for. 

Women after age 50 often jump into intimacy sooner (since many women in their 50's aren't worried about pregnancy).  Online dating (as we currently have due to the lockdowns) is good because it slows down the process. We can get to know them online before we meet in person. 

We need to learn to notice and take red flags seriously. We need to develop our intuition and trust ourselves. Sometimes, we need someone with an objective eye to help us.

The goal is to learn to love ourselves so we are ready when love comes along again.

Notes:

Managing Mindset - It's the work we have to do to be successful in business. 

We resolve or shift through things like imposter syndrome or 'not enough'. Then, when  they show up again at the next level we recognize them for what they are. 

To shift limiting beliefs, we have to feel them so we can know and accept them.

The question is: what action can you take today (to move through the limitations). Plan the next step to take to get through the limitation. 

The next step is the hardest but once you've taken it, you realize it was doable. The more confidence you have and the more liberated you feel.

When you do this, you prove to your brain that the belief is not true.
 

Sexy Goals:

S - Simple - Simple - not necessarily easy

E  - Executable

X  - Exciting  You need to be excited about it

Y  - Why do I want this?

The WHY has to be compelling enough to keep you committed.

Notes

Everything you do is PR. Because that's true, it's important that you show up as authentically you. 

One of most important things to get right is your messaging. By being clear, you create a clear connection with the right people (and you experience freedom because you're not worried about it!). 

Creating an 'Ah Ha' factor makes you stand out and be more memorable. An Ah Ha factor can be something you've done or something you do. Typically, it is something vulnerable that you share authentically and makes you relatable. 

Creating structure around your message gives you freedom (not always trying to figure out what to say).

Creating structure around your day gives you freedom.

Jill believes you should have a team of 3 people around you. Those people provide support and fill in the knowledge gaps you have. 

Tips from Jill for Publicity

1. HARO Help a Reporter Out is a free service. It is a daily listing of publications looking for contributors.
2. Podcasts are always looking for experts. Go to iTunes, type in a keyword directly related to your expertise and you'll find many podcasts that you could potentially be a guest on.

Notes

To be a successful coach/business owner, you have to become an attractor of people. 

However, you don't want to attract all people, you want to attract the RIGHT people. Taking any and all clients isn't liberation (it IS the ball and chain!). 

The first step is to know yourself.  Specifically, you need to know your 

• archetype
• mind type
• wealth style

and then show up that way.  Do not be like other coaches. Be yourself. 

You must have these fundamentals in place. 

You must be clear on who you are and build your brand around these core pieces. 

Know your niche and become a specialist, not a generalist. 

Develop a signature system, create high-end packages and know how to communicate with people in such a way that you really connect (based on the neuroscience of communication). 

Specialize  so that you can elevate yourself and develop your reputation, and  gain more exposure. 

Your purpose is the most important driver in this equation. Your purpose is what propels you forward and your desire to serve people and have an impact is at the core of your becoming a Celebrity Authority!

Shereese Alexander is a Business Networking Coach who helps entrepreneurs create profitable partnerships through authentic connection. Shereese went from being a PhD candidate at an Ivy League school to being homeless in New York City at the height of the 2008 recession. 

That experience taught her that, while achievements and degrees are something to be proud of, human connection is the most valuable asset a person could have. Now she teaches entrepreneurs the power of making a micro-impact, one person at a time, in order to grow their network and their business.

Shereese helps people build relationships at live and virtual events.

Some people go to events to find 10 clients but finding 10 Joint Venture (JV) partners is much better. 

Shereese recommends that you attend an event with an intention - and a strategy! 

If you're going strictly for the content, you are missing out on opportunities to meet potential JV partners, mentors, clients, and what Shereese calls X Factors - those people that you probably won't work with but who become friends. 

There are people at live events who are usually unreachable. They are people you admire or respect. To connect with them in a genuine way,  thank them for the impact they’ve had on your life. Be specific. 

If you’re trying to attract the influencer, the person who is hosting the event, don't try to connect  during the live calls or at the live event. 
 

Instead, show your support by: 

- Actively contribute in the related Facebook group. Add quotes & tag the person who said something meaningful during the event. 

- Be an assistant ….they’ll remember that you contributed.

Be intentional about where you participate. Spend your time and energy in the communities you want to support. 

Don’t spread yourself thin.

And most of all, be authentic.

Amber Wise is a Certified Personal Trainer with the National Academy of Sports Medicine. Military wife, mother to 4 children, and successful entrepreneur. She helps busy women lose weight fast.

Amber was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy when she was young and grew up with some physical limitations. However, she didn't like feeling different and with the encouragement of her older sister, she learned how to do the things the doctors said she'd never do. 

Amber believes we have an opportunity to take full advantage of the bodies we have and appreciate them. 

Working out is a way to prove we are strong and capable and can do hard things when we're determined to. 

In her experience, we all have a belief that we are not enough. When we achieve things with our bodies, we show ourselves that we are enough. Our bodies are remarkable! 

Fit Ladies Bootcamp was started to show women that they can work out, they can get in shape, and they can do hard things.

Amber believes that publicly declaring your goal helps you achieve it. Those public declarations happen within Amber's private FIT Ladies Bootcamp Facebook group - also where Amber's daily workouts are posted. 

For those of us who want to get back into shape, she suggests that we find something we can do (physically) for 10-15 minutes each day and do it.

If you were working out prior to the lockdowns, you can always join Amber's program and get fresh workouts 5 days a week. 

Muscle confusion, intensity, and consistency are key to having a strong, sexy body!

James' Podcast, 3 Steps to Thrive is available on Apple iTunes. 

About James

James has 15+ years of “in the trenches” marketing experience. He's worked with businesses from dozens of industries and hundreds of people over that time. James meets you where you are (with no judgment), and specializes in coming up with a concrete plan to move your business forward. 

Most importantly, James teaches you to believe in your business & Yourself. James teaches his clients not just the step-by-step “how-to”, but he also teaches his clients how to think about marketing strategically. This puts the power back into your own hands. James has been featured in both the Globe & Mail and also the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).

Key Points

Entrepreneurship gives us freedom because we're in control of our goals and our results. 

James is now working with healers like chiropractors, massage therapists, mindset coaches - anyone who helps others heal. 

Healers are the first step in an important chain of events. 

He loves to help them get their messaging down.

Healers are not as likely to promote themselves - because they are in service to others.

However, as a healer, if you never sell your service, you aren’t benefiting and neither are your (potential) clients.

How much is it worth to have no anxiety? How much is it worth to have freedom? When you have a system for selling your service or product, it reduces anxiety and increases your sense of freedom. 
 

The most foundational piece for healers (and for all business owners) is having your messaging down. People must be able to easily identify what you do and the promise of your service. 

Your message must be free of jargon - which excludes anyone who doesn't understand it. 

It's a great idea to have someone from outside your industry take a look at your message, website and written copy and identify any words or phrases that aren't immediately clear.

Stacey spent over 30 years helping people with their finances, and then she had a health crisis that changed everything. She now helps people to be ready if they should have a health issue, or worse, by getting personal and legal documents together NOW. Most people have no idea what is involved or even where to begin, so she loves helping to get the ball rolling and making it possible for everyone to say, “I Got It Together!”.

Stacey recommends having a number of documents gathered in one place so your family or loved ones have easy access to your most important information.

Depending on where you live, not having critical pieces gathered can mean other people (doctors) make decisions about your care and treatment, not your loved ones.

It can also mean years in probate and the loss of income/benefits.

There are some basic things we need to have such as:

- Health Care Directive

- HIPAA Waiver

- Living Will

- Power of Attorney

And, all the passwords used in our 'online' communities.

Finally, if you're a parent of an adult child (age 18+), it's important to know that they need the same documentation. Even as a parent, if they are hospitalized, you have no rights to direct their care without the Health Care Directive and the HIPAA Waiver.

You also have no access to their financial records/assets without them naming you as a beneficiary.

Pre-order her book, The Soul of Purpose here: https://www.jayajayamyra.com/the-soul-of-purpose-book-jaya-jaya-myra

Notes:

Myra’s purpose is to enable other people to succeed in their lives.

Purpose is foundational for everything.  It’s the causal seed for everything and the link between spirituality and health.

When we aren’t aligned with our purpose, everything gets out of balanced and when we are aligned, everything seems to get better. 

Purpose is created out of meaning and from two things - your God-given talents and your life experiences. Consider:

• what are the God-given talents you've been given
• what are the experiences that have been meaningful.  Usually it’s the painful experiences that teach us the most.

When we combine our talents with our experiences (or lessons) we have the means to make a contribution (which we naturally want to do).

Myra is the creator of the WELL Method - 4 cornerstones to shape your mindset for wellbeing. 

The WELL Method shows why one-size-fits-all solutions don’t work for everyone and how to find exactly what works for you based on your unique elemental composition and unique purpose in life.

Myra's latest book, The The Soul of Purpose: A Step-By-Step Approach to Create a Purpose-Driven, Healthy Life, launches January 5th, 2021.

What is Rorshach? According to the web, The Rorschach test is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation, complex algorithms, or both.

• In a nutshell, the inkblots have no meaning other than what we assign to them.
• In the same way, events that happen our lives inherently have no meaning other than what we assign them.
• We have an opportunity to step back and ask ourselves, is this the way I want to see and experience this thing in my life?
• We have many 'shoulds' operating in our lives that lead to dissatisfaction and frustration.
• If we can evaluate the 'shoulds' from a neutral place, we can shift the energy we have around them.
• Ask, if I didn't have this 'should' or expectation in my life,  what would my life be like?

Floriane has a great story of being a creative child who didn't fit any mold. She had big dreams but was regularly told, especially by teachers, no.  She learned to make the best choice in what was offered.

As an adult, she took a job that she found completely unfulfilling. Eventually, under the stress of her job, she became ill.

Floriane subsequently transformed her life - breaking free from limitations.

She shares how we can each break out of patterns that confine us through energetic leaps  and become the star of our own show.

There are 7 mind types that develop beginning at birth. They are:

The Giver, The Problem Solver, The Connector, The Innovator, The Perfectionist, The Rebel and The Master. 

Our mind types developed as we grew and were how we survived.

We can discover our mind types by taking the quiz (see link above).

When we use the words and messages associated with our mind type, we express our authentic self. People can then identify with us. We stand out.

Most websites talk about WHAT they do. But we want to talk about WHY we do what we do. 

We want to talk to the limbic brain initially, not to the thinking brain. 

A limbic message invites you into a space. It gives you a feeling. Limbic messages include phrases like, 'we believe' and 'you deserve'. 

One of the biggest mistakes business owners make it they try to  figure out what others want to hear and speak to that.

Instead, speak your truth:  who I am, what I believe, and the right people will resonate and the wrong people will go away.

When you have great clients, you have a  great life.

Music and the New Case for Creativity

1. Playing music gives us access to self expression and creativity.

2. There is a myth in our culture that some people are creative and others aren’t.

3. The failure rate of traditional music learning is very high.

4. Neil believes everyone, without exception is profoundly musical.

5. We demonstrate daily that we have mastery over complex musical concepts.

6. Seeing music as shapes and patterns uses neural pathways and allows for people to connect with their natural musicianship.

7. Playing music involves almost every part of the brain.

8. The critical currency of the future isn’t bitcoin, it’s creativity.

9. Access to creative capacity comes directly from learning music.

10. The ability to recognize opportunity comes out of our creative capability (key takeaway!)

11. Music learning impacts the brain more than any other art or sport.

12. Learning music (in the playing-based way which involves seeing music as shapes and patterns) is essential neurological nutrition for anybody at any age.

13. There’s a massive difference between having a creative outlet and having an impact on the brain.

14. Nothing impacts the brain in the same way that music learning does. 

15. It’s the WAY that we learn music that is critically important.

Tiffany's website: www.HighlyPerceptivePeopleAcademy.com

On today's show, you'll meet Blindspot Healer & Clairvoyant, Tiffany Cano. Many empathic, sensitive, and spiritual souls hire Tiffany to help them discover their blindspots and heal their deep core wounds because most are subconsciously guarded, contract when feeling fear and negativity, which destroys their health, finances, and relationships. 

Tiffany helps you to be more clear and trust your intuition, feel safe to take confident and empowered action and own your sense of Self. Bottom line, Tiffany gets you aligned and congruent so that you feel more loved, seen, heard, understood and like you belong!

Show Summary:

1. We all have blindspots. They're often hidden in our subconscious and come from a childhood 'event'. The 'event' may have been as simple as a conversation but it has impacted your belief system.
2. We can clear our own blindspots but it takes tremendous time & determination.
3. When we have a coach help us, it's like having a Lifeguard on duty who can keep us moving safely through the process.
4. When we're very sensitive (perceptive, empathic), it's easy to get pulled into other people's emotions.
5. The temptation and often recommended is to put up a wall or close ourselves off in a bubble. Tiffany teaches us to establish boundaries rather than walls.
6. When you establish a boundary, good things still can flow (like love, money, fun). Walls tend to close us off to another person's emotions  AND all the good stuff.
7. Boundaries are better. Boundaries look like -I'm here for you, you can cry on my shoulder, and I'm not going to sponge up the negativity or let it overwhelm me.
8. We can preserve our own energy and avoid feeling drained by establishing boundaries.

A major focus of the conversation is inflammation—what it is, how it shows up, and why it matters. Shane explains that inflammation is a normal healing response (like swelling after an injury), but chronic inflammation becomes a hidden problem that slowly contributes to issues like arthritis, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, brain fog, fatigue, headaches, digestive problems, and weight gain (especially around the midsection). He describes how highly processed foods can disrupt gut lining integrity and trigger an ongoing immune response that creates systemic inflammation—often “invisible until it’s not.”

They discuss how both nutrition and movement affect inflammation. Exercise can be anti-inflammatory when it’s supportive and sustainable (walking, hiking, yoga), but overtraining can increase inflammation through excessive muscle breakdown and stress. The theme stays anchored in freedom: reducing inflammation isn’t just about weight or appearance—it’s about avoiding preventable “jail cells” like chronic disease and reclaiming energy, clarity, confidence, and mobility.

Robin reflects on her own upbringing around food (food-as-enemy mindset) and reframes health as choice, not restriction: shifting from guilt and “diet language” to intentional choices that support how you want to feel. Shane reinforces balance—avoiding rigid dogma on either extreme—and offers a simple framework: eat foods closer to their natural form, prioritize quality protein and vegetables, and choose an approach that fits the person (not everyone needs keto/paleo).

I share a defining moment from my early parenting years that changed how I guide my own children, along with what I’ve observed after decades of teaching hundreds of students. Every meaningful pursuit includes peaks, valleys, and plateaus. When parents (or adults) misinterpret the valley as failure, we unintentionally train ourselves and our kids to escape discomfort instead of building resilience.

We’ll explore how habitual quitting prevents real wins, how it quietly erodes confidence and self-trust, and why adults often “ghost” commitments instead of ending them cleanly. I’ll also introduce the concept of accountable quitting — changing your mind or ending agreements without shame, avoidance, or broken trust.

This isn’t about forcing perseverance at all costs. It’s about learning to finish what we start — or end it well — so we build a habit of success and become impeccable with our word.
