Reverse Engineering Life To Prioritize Joy with McCall Renold Sep 29, 2019

Show notes

When I met McCall Renold, I developed an instant girl crush. She's interesting and interested, positive, genuine and so capable!

Her professional bio is incredible…..she's an operations and strategy expert, having worked for the past 8+ years with early-stage startups, management consulting firms and recently on the launch strategy team at Apple. She has degrees in Manufacturing & Design Engineering and Industrial Engineering from Northwestern University. And she's passionate about helping female entrepreneurs and thought leaders bring to life their business goals and bring innovative products to market.

I think her personal bio, the McCall I know as a friend, is even rarer! She's an adventure and travel lifestyle expert who has travelled to 35+ countries, speaks multiple languages, holds a private pilots license, and is passionate about exploring cultures and foods around the world. Her most recent trips include a climbing Kilimanjaro and then spending two weeks on Safari flying between destinations Northern Kenya in a small Cessna. Other trips include island hopping in French Polynesia, a yoga teacher training and backpacking on the Indo-Tibetan border, road trips through Provence, Iceland, the US National parks and Croatia Bosnia and Montenegro, intensive cooking courses in Tuscany, skiing in the Italian and Swiss Alps, and living and studying in Argentina.

In this episode, we discuss getting the most out of your weekends and evenings, how to always be dating your spouse and thinking about life from a long view - why you should plan in reverse!

Don't Expect What You Won't Invest | BE Moment Sep 25, 2019

Show notes

Real talk….I woke up Monday morning feeling pretty crappy. Drank too much, stayed up too late, had been choosing tv over podcasts and hadn't honored my morning routine of meditation and movement. And I realized I AM RESPONSIBLE!

What goes in, most come out, so if you don't like what's coming out, change what's going in!

Two days later, I feel freaking great! I dialed up my nutrition, have 3 workouts in 3 days, am going to bed earlier and am spending the evenings on projects that excite me instead of Netflix and Chilling.

My business partner Molly wrote recently - You are rooted where you plant yourself! Growth doesn't merely happen. You need to sow the seed!! So where are YOU planting yourself to grow?

I hear SO many people say - I'll invest in my business ONCE I've made some money. I'll put in more time into my side hustle ONCE I see some results. I'll double down on my eating and fitness once I see my body change.

Time - You've got to make the tough choices because anything worthwhile takes TIME!! We can look at the highlight reels and think people are an overnight success but it JUST isn't so!

Choice - I made the choice to say a lot of no's, to give me the opportunity to say yes whenever I wanted.

Health - Are you treating your body like your car? Or Worse?

Body - What if sweat was the reward? Change your expectations!

Business: You won't make money unless you invest your time and your resources.

Relationships!! You'll get the support of others when you support them, and yourself!

Inspiration

In whatever area you are ready to move your life forward, just ask yourself, how do you want to be? Then DO the things that the person you want to be would do!

Finding Your Hive with Grace Kraaijvanger Sep 15, 2019

Show notes

This episode is EXTRA special because it's our 50th episode, Becoming You Podcast is 5 months old and we just celebrated 55k downloads!! And I couldn't think of a better guest than the woman you're about to have the pleasure of hearing from!

I was invited to a women's leadership and inspiration lunch last month at the Hivery, a drool worthy and inspiring co-working space just north of the San Fran golden gate bridge. I realized I'd seen photos of the Hivery, which has been featured in Forbes, Elle, Entrepreneur Magazine, US Today, SF CHronicle and more…...months ago and had been wanting to find an excuse to make the drive north ever since!

In person, the Hivery was even more magical and Bee-utiful than it looked online. It's a place you want to sit down with your laptop and latte and create your next big project or finish that book you've been wantin to write. It's no wonder their hashtag is #womendoingcoolstuff. And it was no surprise that the co-founder, Grace Kraaijvanger, was the source of all of this creative energy, inspiration and is all about helping women find their hive!. She is delightful!

As a former professional dancer turned mom and marketing executive, Grace was searching for a creative community to start her next chapter of life. In 2014, she founded the Hivery, a collaborative and creative co-working space where members can pursue their work, passions and next chapter! The Hivery is a literal and metaphorical space for people to find and create meaningful work outside of a traditional corporate environment.

By focusing on our inner being, Grace shares how she's designed her life by feel, and explains how everything we want is already inside us!

In addition to her role as the Founder & CEO of The Hivery, Grace is a motivational speaker, business mentor, and serves on the board of the SF Dance Film Festival and the Nasdaq YEx Advisory Board. She has spoken at high-profile events such as Watermark, The Girls Lounge at Dreamforce, and QuickBooks Connect, in addition to hosting countless Hivery events and gatherings.

5 Signs You're Ready to GROW | BE Moment Sep 11, 2019

Show notes

We can only grow to the size of the container we are in…..is it time to find a more spacious container?

Signs you're ready to grow

Not being happy with where you are in life - questioning your purpose, feeling doubt, fantasizing about change.
Feelings of anxiety about the future.
Being less concerned with what people think
Not feeling excited or having a hard time getting motivated
Questioning yourself.

Signs You're Growing

Start saying no - to others: less time for the superficial.
And start saying yes - to you: More time for reflection, growth, self care.
You prioritize your own happiness, not obligation.
You do things that would shock the smaller you...and they get easier.
Your relationships become more meaningful.

Growth is part of life. Are you embracing it or fighting it?

Getting Back To Real Life | BE Moment Sep 04, 2019

Show notes

It's easy to hide behind your computer, It's even convenient! and we think you're building your business because you're adding followers on. Our because we can write 5 email newsletters in two hours, instead of going to an event that'll take 2 hours.

But let's be real, about showing up IN REAL LIFE.

I know I show up in person better. Social media is a glimpse of who you are!

In person, we can show up as being interested, not interesting!

Women leadership luncheon - 6 hours out of my day.

That event led to me interviewing the founder who I had such a connection with. Podcast -

People we meet are a door to an opportunity, whether it's friendship, business, a resource.

I thought back…...to some in person meetings that have changed my life, as well as the life of others.

My coach - met in person. Worked with her - referred her more than a dozen clients who have hired her.

Network marketing - more than 15,000 people. $800k in the past 5 years -

This made me commit to getting out to at least one event per week, to grow my business, to grow my friends, to grow my LIFE!

When connecting - get their number! Yes, social media is great but a number means you can text them RIGHT there!
Follow up immediately! Go to one event so you can spend time following up, really providing value. 10 business cards aren't worth one person who gets to know, like and trust you!
Show up in your best element!!
