Building TRUST & "Marble Jar" Friendships Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Tips for developing trust among those around you
Looping in people you care about to hold you accountable
Valuing reliability & integrity by following through
Authenticity & embodying what you value from others in yourself

Girrrl! I am so excited that you are here today & I hope you are buckled up ready to rock, because we are diving into the juicy topic of TRUST.

I’ve been thinking a lot about trust & environment. & not just the environment we have around us, but the PEOPLE that we surround ourselves with.

We talk about this a lot, because we know that we often become a direct reflection of the expectations of our peer group, so it’s important that we have good people around us. People that help us level up, share common interests, that get us & also that we trust, so today we are talking about how to actually build trust with people & how to develop the trust others have in you.

Can’t wait to hear what you think of this “marble jar friends” concept from Brene Brown & how it can SERVE you in your relationships!

Quotes:

“When you trust people you’re going to risk putting yourself out there to them. Because you know that whatever they say back to you it’s going to weigh importance on you.”

“When you think of ‘marble jar friends,’ or building trust in the way like putting marbles in a jar, how do you think that people earn marbles with you? And how do you believe that you earn marbles with other people?”

“If you and I want to embody integrity, the integrity that we want to see in the world, then we have to commit to not talking about people behind their back & doing the right thing even when it’s not convenient.”

“Keep trying to be the best you. It matters… You’re inspiring so many people with how you’re making your life a testimony of what type of person you can be & what type of life you can live.”

[HIS & HER PEP TALK] Navigating your "New Normal" May 28, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Progress comes from pushing through the tough stuff
Embracing what your new normal will be
Doing the best you can, is always enough
Taking inventory & focusing on strong communication

Hey girl! Please help me welcome back to the show, my fiance Seena! We’ve been getting great feedback from these little His & Her Pep Talk episodes, so we are here for another one! He is an enneagram 3 & I’m a 7, so our brains just think completely differently & we each bring such a different perspective to conversations. Very recently, I was feeling very overwhelmed & like I wasn’t sure if I could really handle everything that I had going on. So many exciting things, but I just was wondering if I was really capable. I texted Seena, and his response was what sparked this entire episode. We’re talking about this new normal we are currently in & learning to navigate through new seasons in life that we’ve never been through before. I really think you are going to jam with this conversation & we can’t wait to hear what you think girl!

Quotes:

“Anything that’s new is hard, because you’ve just never done it before for the first time… but that’s where progress comes from.” - Kacia

“Leaving that comfort zone just feels scary & kind of messy, you don’t know what’s going on, but when you look back 6 months, you really appreciate how far along you’ve come.” - Seena

“I’m not labeling this stress as something I can’t manage, I’m learning that this stress is the skills & the coping mechanisms & the tools & the perspective that I need to develop.” - Kacia

[PEP TALK] Let's CRANK up the JOY! May 25, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Taking inventory on your own energy & using that to your advantage
Being proactive about planning your day to day activities
Focusing your to-FEEL list with your daily to-dos
Ensuring that your priorities are truly treated like priorities

Hey girl, I am so excited that you’re here today because we are just doing a short little pep talk.

And I am encouraging you to CRANK up the VOLUME on your JOY & your HAPPINESS! We’re talking about making your day more juicy, and fulfilling because it’s a day that you have that other people don’t. In society, being goofy & playing & doing things simply because they are fun is downplayed or deemed as less important, and I think that is total BS.

I believe that this ‘hustle until your face falls off’ culture where ‘busy’ is worn like a badge of honor is going to have us burnt out with health issues, relationship struggles & lacking fulfillment & joy. We need a little remix on that narrative & I hope you leave today’s episode buckled up & ready to have some freaking FUN! Let’s do this girl!

Quotes:

“Making joy & enthusiasm & happiness & becoming a more positive person is literally going to help you find more solutions.”

“There is so much research that has proven that happiness leads to success, much more than success leading to happiness.”

“These mundane things that you have to get done, how can you make them more fun? What if you mapped out your to-do list & you thought about your to-FEEL list more, right?”

“It’s up to us girl, to rewrite the narrative on the importance of joy & happiness and being positive people, and looking for opportunities to create days that make us excited!”

Who's Rules are YOU playing by? May 21, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Letting go of other’s opinions & the expectations of society
Putting your own dreams & desires above others
Believing that your path is your own & no one else's
Building & sticking to your own achievement system

Hey girl!!

I am so excited you’re here today for this short & juicy episode that I think is going to be super powerful for you!

We’re talking about who’s rules you’re playing by, what achievement system you’re tapping into and if all of that is even working for you.

This idea came to me after our last weekly virtual Happy Hour with the members of our global personal development community, The Collective.

One of our incredible members, Angelica, shared one of her own personal wins about how she came to the realization that her goals for building a side business didn’t have to be massive or the same as others who were building similar businesses.

She knew where her passion was, with teaching, and she was proud of herself for admitting that she didn’t want the same thing that others did. I just know, there is NOTHING like that feeling of owning who you are, what your goals are, & realizing you don’t have to play by anybody else’s rules.

I think you are so going to LOVE this one & I can’t wait to hear what you think girlfriend!

Quotes:

“So often we don’t even realize, that we’re often playing this part to a script that was written for us that we didn’t even want to be part of, or we’re setting goals based off of other people’s achievement systems that we don’t even want.”

“It helps you get this anxiety down, you don’t feel as anxious or frazzled about the speed at which you’re getting to your goals when you realize, direction is more important than speed.”

“If you are letting someone else’s opinion, or society’s expectations, or your mentors goals for you, or your peers goals for you, dictate your goals & what you’re doing with your life, then is it really even your life?”

Cuz Girl...Easy ROBS you of PROUD! May 18, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Celebrating along the way with mini goals
Building confidence every day through small wins
What you are learning now will serve you in the long-run
Thinking about how this stage can help you later

This one is a saucy little episode that I think will light a fire under your butt & give you some more tools in your toolbox that will be really powerful, so I am so happy you are here!

I wanted to share with you this question that I ask myself basically daily that is super simple but super powerful: how is what you’re doing today going to help you later by getting you closer to that bigger vision or goal of what you want?

I love this question because it may sound like common sense, but it’s not common practice!

If everyone asked themselves that question so many more of us would feel focused & not as stressed out or doubting ourselves & wanting to throw in the towel on our dreams.

I honestly believe that if you become a NINJA at asking yourself this question in real time, it will be so valuable for you & really any goals or vision or even skills you are working on in your life.

So, let’s dive right in girl! I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Quotes:

“If it came super easily, we would miss out so much wouldn’t we?”

“Everything that’s happening in my life, or in my business, I can find a reason for how it’s serving me right now to be the type of human that I want to be later or to have the type of goals accomplished.”

“You literally have to have a setback, to have a comeback where you can build that resiliency. You gotta fall down so you can get back up.”

“At the end of the day, when it feels a little bit harder in life or it just feels like you’re juggling a lot & you’re frustrated.. That means, you’re leveling up.”

[Pep Talk] You're Wildly Capable; This I know for Sure. May 14, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Getting comfortable with uncertainty
Embracing the power of not giving up & figuring it out
Freeing yourself from the unknown alternative
Throwing out societal expectations & choosing better thoughts

Hey girl, I am so excited you’re here for today’s episode because the topic is REAL & it’s RAW & it’s HONEST. And you KNOW, I am all about tangible tools & tactical advice that you can implement TODAY to make positive changes & build a life you’re obsessed with. But, it’s also SO important to me that you feel how I feel, that we’re girlfriends just chatting over your drink of choice, so I wanted to loop you in on a personal story, because I’m a human like you. There are a lot of people out there who seem like they are a million miles ahead, but I wanna keep it real with you because we are going through this together. Today I’m talking all about a recent time I stopped my workout after 12 minutes & then spent an hour by myself walking in downtown San Diego crying & asking myself crappy questions. Because even though I know better, we all fall sometimes. The key is to learn how to get back up faster, right? I hope you really vibe with this episode & take away something from these things I know for CERTAIN. Can’t wait to hear what you think girl!

Quotes:

“Sometimes, I think we have to fall down because there is something really important that we’re supposed to find or learn before we get back up.”

“I do not believe that you were gifted a vision for your life or this feeling in your gut to do something in a particular way or a particular order that is not yours to have.”

“Easy robs me of proud. And I know, proud makes me feel fulfilled. And I don’t want to just accomplish all the goals, I want to feel fulfilled in the process.”

“Humility is a form of acceptance. The acceptance that we can’t know it all, right? We can never know it all.”

Your Beliefs: Should you Keep, Exchange or Return? May 11, 2020

Show notes

Episode 152: Keep, Exchange, or Return

In this episode:

Reprogramming your brain to think better thoughts
Choosing to retire beliefs that no longer serve you
Taking responsibility for rewriting our own narratives

Hey girl! I’m so excited that you are here for today’s episode because I think you’re really going to vibe with this concept.

We are talking about beliefs and the programming that we have basically from birth, and the thoughts that we’re thinking & if they’re actually serving us.

I was listening to an incredible book called Untamed by Glenon Doyle, and she was talking about this concept that I thought was so powerful, that we always have three options with the belief sets that we currently have.

We can either keep them, return them, or exchange them. I thought it was just so juicy & I had to share it with you!

I can’t wait to hear what you think!!

Quotes:

“You get the choice… you can reprogram your brain. You can return that belief and you’re like, ‘Nope! Gotta go, this ones not working for me.’”

“If they’re not serving you, or getting you closer to a life that you love, they gotta go! We don’t have time for it. It’s not always gonna be easy, but as you start to identify them you can knock them out, one by one.”

“The conscious you become of your own thoughts & beliefs, that more that you can naturally go into these three buckets in your brain & start to craft this identity that you love!”

[INTERVIEW] "Ready" is a LIE; The time is NOW! w/Angie Lee May 07, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Pivots, transitions & resourcefulness in life or business
Getting clear on who you really want to reach
Doubling down by channelling your inner bravery
Keeping things simple & changing your perspective

Angie Lee is a serial entrepreneur, author, keynote speaker, top podcaster, educator & a marketing NINJA!

She's also a close friend of mine that I absolutely ADORE!

What's so cool about her story?

She took a little blog from her college dorm room & built it into an international brand that helps thousands of ambitious women.

Her podcast "Angie Lee Show" has over 7 million downloads!

I've had Angie on the show before, but I’m so excited to bring her back because not only is she my friend & a woman that I love so much, she is also an enneagram 7 and is obsessed with finding joy in the process by making life more FUN.

Today we are deep diving on how to pivot, how to transition, how to figure out who the heck you’re actually talking to so that you can really resonate with them.

This episode is sure to help you get a little bit of direction & kick ya in the butt to dance with fear and understand that you’ve gotta do it scared!

Can’t wait to hear what you think & I’ll talk to you soon girl!

Quotes:

“You could have all the skills, all the training, you could have a double masters in business, but if you’re afraid to start & you’re afraid to get messy & you’re afraid to jump, nothing is ever going to happen.”

“I’ve discovered everything that I’m good at or bad at through trying & through just showing up.”

“You have the opportunity to see this as fear or as faith, right?”

“The secret is, starting before you’re ready... I don’t have all the answers, but what I do have is the courage to start before I’m ready & that’s what has taken me to really cool places.”

Uncertainty is REAL! Let's learn to DANCE with it! May 04, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Taking ownership & not blame things on external environment
Understanding the way that our brains are wired
Navigating the reality of uncertainty & reframing our thoughts
Using fear of unknown to drive you forward towards your goals

Hey girl! I’m always so pumped to connect with you on this super intimate platform & I’m so grateful that it just feels like we’re girlfriends chatting over coffee!

Today I wanted to talk about something that I’ve gotten a lot of DMs about lately, which is feeling this feel that's like, ‘uh, I wanna do this thing, BUT I’m too scared that I’m gonna suck... BUT I’m nervous of what people are going to think of me… BUT I’m worried if it’s going to even work out.’ Those are such NORMAL feelings, but the irony is a lot of people look at those thoughts as reasons to never try in the first place or they choose to let fear override the fact that they've got a really powerful reason they want to do that thing.

Uncertainty is a reality of life, and we’ve just got to learn to navigate it & even dance with it along the way! I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Quotes:

“To me, when you’re asking yourself those questions like, ‘what if I suck’... or if you’re worried about what if it doesn’t workout the way you planned & that you might fail… to me those questions, are an epic indicator that you actually care about the thing that you’re about to start.”

“If your brain doesn’t know what’s around the corner, or like what will come or what the outcome could be, it can’t keep you out of harm's way. Which is why uncertainty is so tough for us.”

“Why are you toe dipping, when you know that the juiciest experience comes from calling your freaking shot & going all in… it’s probably because of uncertainty.”

Show notes

In this episode:

Showing up even when others are doubting you
Getting back up no matter how many times you’re knocked down
Overcoming rejection & being underestimated
Staying true to your authentic self & what you stand for

Jamie Kern Lima is an American entrepreneur, billion dollar business success story, champion of women, philanthropist, culture-shifter and highly sought-after keynote speaker. She Co-Founded IT Cosmetics from her living room and wasn’t able to pay herself for the first three years, while hearing countless Nos from retailers and investors, and working 100+ hour weeks hustling to keep her dream alive. Her passion for her mission, unremitting perseverance, belief and hard work led to her turning every No into an eventual Yes. Jamie grew IT into a top-selling makeup and skincare brand, then sold it to L’Oréal for $1.2 Billion cash, in their largest US acquisition to date, making Jamie the first female CEO in L’Oréal’s 100+ year history.

I am so freaking excited that you are here today for this interview with Jamie Kern Lima. If you know who she is, you know why I am so pumped & it’s not just because she built her company from her living room to $1.2 BILLION, but because of her HEART. She is a true champion of women & is someone you feel like you are best friends with even just from chatting with her. She’s built this community of women from all across the globe that share their stories of overcoming struggle, confidence & their self-worth because of IT Cosmetics & the mission that Jamie set out on. You are going to LOVE her story, this interview is POWERFUL! Don’t forget to tag both of us on Instagram with any of your takeaways & I can’t wait to hear what you think!

PUMP-UP JAM:

Hamilton!

Quotes:

“It taught me the power of going with your gut over anyone else’s advice… and the power of authenticity & how you can’t fake it.”

“It’s so hard when everyone doubts you, & it’s so hard when everyone says no for years, & then you’re like, okay no is my shot.”

“What I’ve learned time & time again is, when you have this gut feeling, like it’s what you’re meant to do, like you’re called to do it.. I don’t think it’s wrong.”

“If you’re someone getting told no, you’re someone doin’ something!”

“I don’t know anybody who has built anything that matters & anything that lasts, without working really really hard… don’t give up.”
