166. Time to Exit & Up-Level
May 07, 2021 10:00 - 12 minutes - 15.2 MBOver the last few weeks, we’ve talked about identity crises and exit strategies — and I’ve been doing the work myself. When I look at where I stand now, and where I want to go, the decision becomes clear: It’s time to retire the Your Badass Journey podcast and allow the space to launch something new. It is possible to have a graceful exit that makes sure you are still taking care of your clients, your community, and yourself in the process. For me, that means taking a pause so that I can i...
165. What's Your Exit Strategy?
May 05, 2021 10:00 - 18 minutes - 21.1 MBI’ve been talking recently about the identity crisis that happens when you begin to uplevel your life. One of the things that helps me align with my actions is thinking about how I’m going to gracefully exit before I start something new. It might sound backward at first, but knowing that I have a plan for how to get out of a situation, if and when I have to, makes me feel safer and more confident in the moment. We feel like we have to carry forward everything we have become, but if we do t...
164. The Identity Crisis in Up-Leveling
April 28, 2021 10:00 - 23 minutes - 26.7 MBWhen we are looking to up-level — becoming the next version of ourselves — we can often experience an identity crisis alongside it. To accomplish new things, we have to essentially become a different person. But in the moment, it can be difficult to identify which parts of you are essential and which need to evolve. We have to take stock of the parts of ourselves that are no longer compatible with what it takes for the next version to stand in our vision. If you’re in that phase of up-leve...

155. Navigating Trauma in the Present Past
March 05, 2021 11:00 - 28 minutes - 33.6 MBWhen we deal with trauma at a young age, it often shows up throughout our lives in ways we can’t immediately recognize. In our last episode with Natasha Dewhirst, she asked about how to translate what she’s trying to offer to attract her ideal clients. This question ended up leading to a discussion of how to manage through trauma and having consciousness around where trauma could be holding us back. It’s important to identify the ways trauma has forced us to cope and how we can manage t...

February 19, 2021 11:00 - 16 minutes - 18.5 MBIn John Maxwell’s “The 360 Degree Leader,” he shares a concept called the leadership loop.

150. Finding Your Soulmate Clients
February 12, 2021 11:00 - 14 minutes - 16.6 MBLove is one of my core values, and I try to lean into it in everything that I am. But how do you put some love energy into your business without being too woo-woo or crossing a boundary with it? So much of our business life is treated as if it has to be professional, unemotional, and detached. But that doesn’t contribute to a loving energy, and it doesn’t allow you to stand in who you are authentically. You need to embrace love in your business by seeking out soulmate clients. If you fee...

February 03, 2021 11:00 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MBI have had an interesting start to the year. There have been a number of distractions that popped up, but they haven’t been all bad. They have forced me to leverage my time intentionally, in a way that allows me to integrate all of the things that matter to me. This made me realize that the topic of time management is something that we could all benefit from. When you are feeling the struggle of not having enough time, or not achieving all that you had hoped to by now, it’s important to ma...
147. Strategic Alignment for 2021
January 29, 2021 11:00 - 19 minutes - 17.7 MBI like to use the last week of the year to hyper-focus on defining who I want to be, what I want to show up in, where I want to have an impact, and what I want to feel by the end of the year. This helps to create a guiding force for all I do, while also defining boundaries on what I say yes to and what I avoid. The start of this year didn’t go quite as I planned, but that has only forced me to sit in the now as I plan out my visualization of 2021. As entrepreneurs, it becomes so easy to fo...

January 27, 2021 11:00 - 39 minutes - 36 MBWhen you’re trying to optimize or transform your business, where do you start? The answer actually isn’t in your business at all — it’s in who you are.

December 11, 2020 11:00 - 18 minutes - 17.8 MBHow do you make sure you’re focusing on the right things and putting your time into the right activities? It starts with getting clear on your priorities and then making sure that you are time blocking your calendar to make sure those priorities come first.

132. You Can't Have Gratitude Without Forgiveness
November 25, 2020 11:00 - 11 minutes - 10.8 MBIf you’re here in the United States, now is the perfect time to focus on gratitude and what you’re thankful for. Wherever you are, it’s never a bad time to take stock of what you’re grateful for and sit in appreciation for what you have.

November 11, 2020 11:00 - 25 minutes - 24.1 MBIt’s common for entrepreneurs—and anyone really—to struggle with doubt about self-worth. In my own story, I was very career and money-driven; I saw money as freedom. Based on my earnings, I would find ways to invest in myself, and the more I did that, the more I saw an increase in my self-worth.

October 16, 2020 10:00 - 11 minutes - 10.6 MBWhen you’re saying yes to too many things, you begin to compromise on your values and priorities.
