[PEP TALK] YOU CAN'T SKIP STAGE ONE Feb 17, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Showing yourself what you’re really made of
Building confidence where you’re at now
Getting excited about the inbetween stage
Being honest & having trust in the process

I am so pumped you are here for a quick little pep talk like we are girlfriends chatting over coffee, & what I want to talk about today is how you do not get to skip the beginning stage ever!

It is so tough to be at the very beginning, but girl, navigating through this is gonna be so worth it!

I too, don’t get to skip the beginning & I’m coming to you with this just hours after crying to Seena and reminding myself of this exact thing on a regular basis as well!

I was having that feeling in my gut that this thing is going to be SO massive & I just want it to be at the point that I know it can be right NOW....

Maybe you can connect with this feeling of being someone with a big vision of where you’re going & you want it right now because you are so freaking excited, but that can also make you frustrated that you have to “wait” to get there?!

If so...I’m excited to chat with you today about WHY this stage is actually NECESSARY!! Can’t wait to hear what you think girl!

Quotes:

“Even if you have experience, you still have a beginning for something brand new.”

“Get your head back in the game. Remind yourself that you were not given this dream or this vision for your life or this goal by accident. You’re gonna have to buckle up & keep on going.”

“Please, make sure that you are not letting yourself… choose to get frustrated & bogged down by how far you have to go to get where you wanna go.”

[INTERVIEW] Want to DOMINATE 2020? It's time to make your vision BIGGER! Feb 13, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Creating a longer-term vision for your life
Identifying the habits & traits you want
Setting & sticking to your true life standards
Allowing yourself to be out of balance on purpose

On the show today we have a woman that I deeply admire, Liz Hartke that I think you are REALLY going to love!

Liz is a wife, a mom of 3 littles, she’s the host of the Scaling Up podcast & she has built two extremely impactful businesses.

One business is in network marketing, and one is a business where she helps impact driven entrepreneurs find creative ways to scale & monetize their brands while keeping their vision & the legacy they want to have in mind.

I wanted Liz to come on the show not only because I adore this woman, but she also has a very powerful way that she talks about vision, not just for entrepreneurs but for any woman that has a big dream for her life.

Often we’ve got this massive dream but struggle with how to actually get there, like what are the tangible things we need to do to get us from here where we are to where we want to go, can't wait to hear what you think!

PUMP-UP JAM:

Teach Me How to Dougie by Cali Swag District
Return of the Mack by Mark Morrison
All About the Benjamins by Diddy

Quotes:

“The only evidence that any of us need that something is possible for us, is that one other person did it.”

“You want to dominate 2020? Stop planning for 2020… because you’re gonna think five years ahead and then you’ll know exactly what to do this year to make sure you’re getting to that five year plan.”

“That vision isn’t just about the goals you set as the mile markers to get to it… it’s about the fact that who you are today is not the person that will achieve that vision.”

“If you’re feeling in a rut, where are you going? Get pumped up about like the vision for your future, what you’re creating, get tangible with it.”

UGH What's my "THING"?! A Piece of Advice from my Grandma Feb 10, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Identifying the things in life or the world that frustrate you
Honoring your gut feeling to understand what you want in life
Tangible advice to begin figuring out what’s next for you
Getting excited about what your learning along the way

Girl, I think you are REALLY going to vibe with this episode where I am sharing a personal story with you and a little piece of advice from my grandma.

Of course, you know I am always visualizing us sitting here chatting & today it’s over wine with a little more on the real talk bestie vibe happening.

Today I wanted to share with you a stage of my life that I know you will relate to because I hear from so many of the women in The Collective about having this feeling of like, “ugh I feel frustrated, I’m stuck.”

& it’s coming from two ways, one where they just don’t know what their “thing” is or two, they do know the what, but don’t know how they’re going to get there.

I had this feeling at a point in my life when everything on paper seemed right, but I got this gut feeling of wanting more & not feeling fulfilled. &then I got some epic advice from my grandma, and that’s what I want to share with you today because I really think it will help you too!

Quotes:

“She suggested that I find things in the world that make me frustrated that I might wanna change & that would help with the direction part. So simple, but so powerful.”

“Is there something that bothers you in the world… something that maybe is maybe a problem that’s annoying to you that you could be excited about being part of the change in.”

“Maybe, you navigating this feeling is gonna help you get where you need to go.”

“I don’t believe that we have one thing in our life as constantly evolving people, but I do think that fixing problems… could help you feel more fulfilled in your life.”

3 Tips to Stop letting other people's opinions hold you back! Feb 06, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Focusing on controlling the controllables
Believing that your dream is in you for a reason
Understanding the concept of borrowing belief
Remembering that you get to pick your problems

I’m so excited you are here today because we are talking about navigating other peoples’ opinions, because so often THAT is the thing that holds us back from getting us where we want to go in our life, in our relationships & in our business!

I don’t want you to feel stuck so I’m giving you some tactical tools that will help you take purpose driven action to build a life that you love even when other people might naysay or make comments about what you’re doing in your life.

Personally, I do actually care what other people think about me, I just care what I think the most which has helped me navigate those comments that weren’t really the best ones that I wanted to hear & I’m excited to share these tips with YOU!!

Quotes:

“Do you actually want the life of the person naysaying you… I think it’s really powerful to just validate the source because I have yet to have someone naysaying me who’s living a life that I actually want to be living.”

“Is this thought actually serving me to think all of these negative things about this other person… that’s not serving you. The byproduct of that is not going to make you happy & excited about your life.”

“This dream is in you for a reason & part of that reason is to show another woman out there what’s possible.”

[PEP TALK] To help you get PUMPED UP after a SETBACK or CURVEBALL Feb 03, 2020

Show notes

In this Episode:

Re-framing the “Life is happening TO ME mindset”
Looking at Setbacks/Curveballs as an Opportunity
Building confidence through resiliency
Thinking of who will benefit as a Bi-Product of you doing that thing on your heart

I’m SO excited that you are here for this PEP TALK EPISODE inspired by a woman who’s in my Collective Community and said to me…

“UGH KAC, I just KNOW I can be doing better in all aspects of my life and in my business but I feel like every time I start making progress, I keep getting set backs in weird ways and then Im douting myself… I just don’t know why this is happening TO me”.

I know we have have probably both had that feeling before, but also the FIRST thing I pointed out to her...

Those TINY LITTLE WORDS SHE SAID…“TO ME”.

That word is SO small but SO IMPORTANT.

Because TRULY, you may have heard this before… but it's the most SIMPLE TWEAK IN YOUR MINDSET that can change the game on your WHOLE DAMN life, how you PERCEIVE yourself, your ABILITY, and the people in your life and WORLD AROUND YOU if you start to capture tiny little words like that!

So today we are going to dive into this topic with a little more UMPH! Can't wait to hear what you think!

Quotes:

"I believe to my CORE that HAPPY FULFILLED, Successful people doubt themselves all the time, & they royally screw up on things and have major failures too…. the difference is…they just ask themselves better QUESTIONS”.

“The difference between YOU and a woman you ADMIRE who is maybe CRUSHING GOALS and just freaking DOMINATING RIGHT NOW is not how SMART she is or how CAPABLE SHE IS…it’s just that she is not STAYING DOWN AS LONG. “

"What if you started to realized you are SUPPOSED to FAIL to LEARN an important lesson? What if all those experiences along the way we you are SO ANNOYED at the time are happening FOR YOU and are ACTUALLY supposed to prepare you so you can HANDLE what’s coming next?”

Screw GOOD; It's time for GREAT! Jan 30, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Slowing down long enough to hear your intuition
Listening to the rumble in your belly that you want more
Staying grateful for the good while also honoring the desire for great
Releasing the comparisons that are holding you back

I’m so excited you are here today for this saucyepisode because I am comin' in hot with some real talk about giving up good & going for great.

If you are the woman right now who’s doing pretty good in life, nothing’s going horribly wrong, but you still feel this feeling that you want more, this episode is definitely for you.

There are so many of these “checklist items” (the degree, the job, the marriage, the house) that are celebrated in our society just for being good. But, if you are quiet for a second & just slow down to listen to your GUT, for some reason you’ve got that rumble deep in your belly that you want great in some or many aspects of your life.

So girl, why are you shoving that feeling down or wishing it away? It’s time to listen to that roar in your gut & go for great!

I can’t wait to hear what you think of this one girl!

Quotes:

“If deep down in your belly, you’ve got this rumble or roar for great & good is actually underwhelming you because you’ve got fire in your belly, you also have to honor that feeling.”

“It is one of the hardest places to be when everything is actually good. You’re not to the point where you’re so uncomfortable where your back is against the wall & you have to make a change.”

“Think about what you actually want. What could great look like in a particular area of your life?”

“I do not think it’s selfish if you want more. If you want to give up good, and go for great.”

Let's make a PACT: Screw Doubt, It's time to SHOW UP! Jan 27, 2020

Show notes

In this Episode:

Ditching the wish for things to be easier
Doubt is normal when you are growing
Ending the BS belief that “I’m not motivated”
Thinking of future you when you want to quit

Girl I am so excited you are here today because we are making a PACT. Something I hear all the time, is wishing things were easier, or that you were more motivated to do the work....

& I’m just gonna be real with you here and remind you that EASY will rob you of PROUD.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never heard someone BRAG about everything being easy & being handed to them on a silver platter.

No, she doesn’t brag about how easy something was, she’s going to brag about the hard work because that’s going to make her feel proud. You are not always going to feel like it, pushing toward your goals, growing & evolving, it’s not always going to be happy little unicorns coming out of your butt, you know this!

So today we are making a pact on two things we are going to do together and I hope you are IN it with me!

Quotes:

“We cannot rob ourselves of the opportunity to feel proud by wishing things were easier.”

“Can’t anxious mean that it matters to you? Can’t all of that BS doubting yourself mean that you’re on the right path & you’re growing? Can’t you view these feelings as an opportunity to learn & evolve and feel so damn proud of yourself later?”

“We’ve gotta stop using this sentence, ‘I’m not motivated’ as a BS excuse to avoid the work that’s actually required, because we know that we have to show up even on the days that we don’t feel like it if we wanna make progress.”

“Action, even small steps, tiny little steps in the right direction bring clarity & confidence. And that’s gonna help get you where you wanna go.”

Gold Dust Woman by Fleetwood Mac

Quotes:

“We are as humans so affected by the relationships that we’re in, if you think about any time you’ve been happy or sad there’s usually another human connected to that.”

“All types of anxiety, & there’;s so many forms of it, stem from something, somewhere. Whether it be the way your brain chemistry is working, the way you’ve experienced something in the past, a trauma that’s happened to you before, anything.. There’s a stem from it.”

“So much of our fears & our anxiousness & our overwhelm is with a lack of plan. And if we had routine & plan, how much of that would we not be worried about.”

Female Friendships: RESPECTING each other's LIFE VISION Jan 20, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Having mutual respect during different life phases
Owning your vision of what happiness looks like
Perspective on the flip-side of your own milestones
Embody your story & honor others embodying theirs

I'm so excited for you to listen into this episode that's a little bit different but I think it’s going to empower you to build a life that you love because we are going to talk about understanding someone else’s life path even if it’s different than yours.

I’m giving you a real life example of my relationship with one of my very best friends who is currently living a totally different life than what I want right now, just as much as she wouldn’t want my life right now.

But we are still fiercely supportive of each other, and that’s what I’m excited to chat with you about today.

Everyone’s vision in their life is different and we have to honor & respect that.

I can’t wait to hear what you think and if you are loving this kind of content please let me know!!

Quotes:

“Pushing your idea of happiness onto someone else, even if they’re a best friend, who’s got a different vision for their life, is not only annoying but it could legit ruin your friendship.”

“We can have grace & compassion to understand that someone not wanting what we want does not mean that they’re ‘wrong’.”

“There’s no ‘right & wrong’ in life… we are all unique individuals with different dreams placed on our heart.”

“The secret sauce to fulfillment, is doing what YOU feel called to do & respecting other people who are doing them too.”

Pep Talk: Savor the Stage You're In! Jan 16, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Stop wishing away today & savoring the now
Identifying benefits from navigating your challenges
Showing up every day to make yourself proud
Celebrating yourself & your effort in the moment

Today, I am coming at you with a short little pep talk & I’m going to challenge you to do something today that I think will seriously improve the quality of your life, especially if you make this into a consistent practice.

It’s so damn simple..... all I want you to do is to get a little more intentional about savoring the stage that you’re in, like right now in your life in all aspects.

You used to dream about being where you are right now, right?

All of those challenges & feelings of doubt you had to work through, and here you are!

&now, you’re striving for the next goal which is amazing, but I don’t want you to just waste today away wishing for what’s next to come faster.

I want you to be here, be present and savor the growth you are creating right now.

I’m so excited for you girl & I can’t wait to hear what you think of this little quick pump up!

Quotes:

“Remember when you wanted to be where you are literally right now in your life? All the crap that you had to navigate, the work that you had to put in… look at you. You are here.”

“There’s always so much going on behind closed doors. Every single person who’s ever accomplished anything that you want has absolutely doubted herself.”

“What if today, you decided, I’m actually just gonna savor today… you just take a second, and you think: life is rigged in my favor, even when I don’t feel like it I’m going to just believe that right now. I’m going to choose to grow through what I go through.”
