85: HTH – Soulfish AF May 21, 2021

Show notes

Last episode we talked about identifying the holes in our bucket, then how to plug those up. Today we are going to start to fill our buckets back up. We are wrapping this Healing the Hustle series up in the next two episodes, and I know I originally talked about covering Codependency this week, but I am going to have to circle back to that another day.
To set us up for the bucket filling, first I’m going to do a quick re-cap of how we got here. And, also a little reminder that this series is definitely for the “J” types, those who tend to be more “hustly” and entrepreneurs. Those who can’t sit still and always have to be moving forward.
Now, one of the first things you can do to start to fill you bucket up, after you’ve fixed the holes, is to be more Soulfish, actually being Soulfish as F*ck. My dear friend Judy came up with that word, which I love. I don’t like “self-care,” I don’t know. it’s so overused. And I don’t love the word “selfish” because I think people have an awful connotation with it.
Soulfish is doing those things that you need to do to take care of your soul, it has a much deeper meaning, a deeper impact. And on top of being Soulfish, we need a Soul Care Team to help us, to support us.
I know part of Healing the Hustle is absolutely having people who “get us” because otherwise we have these feelings of depression and anxiety and shame and isolation. We’ve all been there, to the networking events or other group meeting where we just don’t fit in, where there isn’t the connection we are craving and need. I would say is a huge one of people just don’t get us.
But when you find people that truly, truly get you, there is no better feeling. And there is no better way to Heal the Hustle than to absolutely be able to show up, unapologetically who we are, and have people get us… and you get them.
This is about filling our bucket a new way, a way of not feeling isolated and not feeling unseen.
Summer School closes today and if you’re being called, if you’ve been questioning it, I pray that you will follow your intuition and come find your people. Because it may not just be eight weeks for you, it may end up completely changing your life and you’ll find friends that will forever ever be part of your life.

84: HTH – Fixing the Hole in Your Bucket May 13, 2021

Show notes

In the last 5 episodes we have been discussing WHY we are Hustling and identifying the hole in our buckets. The trauma’s, our families of origin, our innate personality type and the insane social media world we live in at the moment.
If you have learned anything from me hopefully it is about being unapologetically who you are and what it means to live your life from the Front Seat and today’s episode is about how we have different ways to heal based on our personality types and much more.
3 main topics I will be covering on today’s episode:
1. Why type matters in HOW we Heal the Hustle
2. Why what you have been doing is NOT working (hint…it’s not about external things! )
3. How learning to mind your business and stay on your side of the net will give you HOURS a week back in your life!
There are been many times in my life where I mistakenly looked outside of myself to try to fill my bucket, all the while, I had a huge gapping hole in the bottom of my bucket. I would try to buy, shop, scroll, date, drink, busy myself or any number of other things to happiness or fulfillment.
In my 47 years I can confidently say NONE OF THAT SHIT WORKS!
Because I needed to fix the hole in my bucket FIRST!
I have had to learn how to:
1. Identify the hole in my bucket. Family of origin shit (we alllllll have this), know my innate bossy personality type (ENFJ), my attachment style (avoidant and I will teach you more about this in Summer School), trauma’s from my marriage including addiction and affairs, understanding my codependent style (doormat) and MUCH MORE!
2. Fix the hole in my bucket. Therapy, coaching, masterminds, boundaries, SAF (Soulfish as F*ck), cutting out people in my life, ability to walk away from things and people that no longer serve me, getting exquisitely clear on who and what I spend my energy on (rocks), only doing Front Seat activities, and much more!
3. And coming up in summer school and future episodes….Filling your bucket the new way that’s right for YOU!

83: HTH – Why I Sold My House May 06, 2021

Show notes

I think this episode could also be called “Keeping up with the Joneses.”
In today’s episode you will hear me get real about why I sold my house.
You’ll also learn how I made yet another mistake about not living in my personality type as an intuitive.
I’ll share the story of how my life and business expenses got out of control and why (and how) I change that.
And I’ll reveal 3 important questions to ask yourself about your life!

82: HTH – Patriarchy and Hustle Apr 29, 2021

Show notes

Today’s episode is part two of WHY you are hustling.
I talk about the importance of understanding the WHY so that we can make lasting change in our lives. There are so many people that want to simply put Band-Aids on issues and not dig in to the deeper understanding of where our issues come from yet we must do some digging to get to a way of being!
And…it is SOOOO eye opening and helpful!
There are some tough topics in today’s episode but I believe that we’ve got to look at them in order to change them and I do hope you enjoy it.
Last week I talked about the nature part of why and your personality type. This week we’re shifting to nurture and talking about patriarchy. I’m going to also delve into the New World of technology that we live in and how that is contributing to our hustle.
And don’t forget you are invited to the free 10 Day Healing the Hustle challenge starting Monday, May 10th at 9:30 am PDT in the Front Seat Squad FB group!
I hope you are enjoying the series so far…MUCH more to come!

78: 47th Birthday – Release, Regroup, and Realign Jul 06, 2020

Show notes

Notice a change in my voice already. It’s the first morning of a 13-day break, much needed. I am taking some time to reflect and release, regroup, and get super realigned with myself. My core values, my heart, my personality type, my business, and myself as a woman, all the things.
I’m recording this a couple of days before my freaking birthday. I’m 47 years old, and I don’t know how that happened. I’m way too immature to be 47 years old. And today, I am going to be talking to you a little bit about things that I’ve learned this year in hopes that you hear something that you may need to incorporate as well.
I’m doing my birthday episode about messages and getting quiet and regrouping because that is what I am doing. And I believe that so many times, I am feeling the collective of what other people are feeling. I’ve known this for years. I’ve felt this since I became a therapist, and I started checking in with my body.
Let’s talk about the 80 20 rule of rest. And I am also telling you this, and I’m going to be practicing it. And this might come as some bad news, but I’m going to take the summer off from the podcast. I need a break. I need a break for a couple of reasons. I had a guest speaker come into my mastermind group, just last week. Heather Denniston, she’s fabulous. And she was quoting this book that says we need to “make space for our soul to catch up.”
I think we’re being called as a collective right now to do this, to make space for souls to catch up. And there’s a lot of things at play right now. Obviously COVID, we’re in the middle of Mercury retrograde, it’s summer, this beautiful black lives matter movement, the social justice movement. We are being called to take a pause, to slow down.
So during this episode, I’m focusing on and giving you a little guidance to help you release, regroup, and realign. To get connected to our selves.
And that brings me to this 80/20 Rule of Rest. When we don’t do this, our bodies will rest us. Do you know what I mean? If we do not rest 20% of the time, our bodies will rest us. So that means I get to choose. YOU get to choose. The 80/20 rule is 80% in your Front Seat, 20% in your Back Seat. But your back seat can be a place of choice.
Choose to release, regroup, realign… rest. We all need a break.
So my friends, my friends, my friends I’m off. I’m going to go take a break now definitely, but I will be back. It feels very, very, in alignment with what I need to do for my soul right now. So thank you for understanding.
I will see you guys very, very, very soon. Thanks for listening.

77: How Are You Going to Get There? [Part 3 of 3] Jun 25, 2020

Show notes

Part three of three, we’ve made it! We’ve talked about “Who Are You?” and “Where Are You Going?” and now we’re going to make some moves and take some action!
I love doing this work on myself. I love helping other people do it. And so that’s where today, “How are you going to get there?” This is comprised of a bunch of different things, but the very first thing is about taking action. It drives me up a wall when people are lazy or feel entitled, or maybe they watched “The Secret” and are just trying to manifest everything into their life.
I believe that God is on this path with us, and he expects us to do some work. He expects us to do some work. I find it ridiculous when people expect things to happen because you must actually do some work.
So, I created a system called the Three S method. The three S’s are Structure, Systems, and Singular focus. And this is, quite honestly, whether this is about your life or your business.
Structure is about you. It’s your life. It’s your morning practice, getting up on time, how you’re spending your time.
And then Systems for your business specifically, but also for your personal life, are things outside of you. This, for example, is auto-pay on all of your bills. And I’ve got a truckload of stuff to teach you in summer school, if you so choose to come do that with us, around all the things that help you in Systems to basically get your shit together.
Singular focus is absolutely around something that I’ve done for years. Which are 90-day goals, mind mapping, and a bunch of tools to help you really stay focused on what needs to get done right now.
Singular focus to me is probably the most effective tool I’ve ever I’ve used or the concept really around getting shit done and building the business that I’ve built. Especially because we intuitive types love to squirrel.
During this powerful episode, I also talk about permission. Sometimes we feel like we need permission and my friends, part of how are you going to get there is giving yourself permission or if you need it from me, it is granted.
Permission granted my friends to live the life that you want to live, to live unorthodox, to live as a weirdo, to live as only 25% of the population. That’s what this podcast is for and why I’m here to help.
Listen in, there’s so much more for you and I’ll be back on my birthday for an epic episode, you won’t want to miss it! Alright, until next time, I’m sending you so much love!

76: Where Are You Going? [Part 2 of 3] Jun 18, 2020

Show notes

Today is the second part of the three-part series that I’m doing about the stages of the business program that I’m very, very proud of called Don’t Do Stuff You Suck At Entrepreneurial School for creative and visionary, intuitive types.
When I first wrote both of my books, these questions were posed to me many, many years ago. Who are you? Where are you going? And how are you going to get there? And it was a profound realization for me at the time because I didn’t know the answers to any of them.
And so as we get into step two today, you can’t do one of these without the others. So figuring out who you are is fantastic and fabulous, and it needs the other two. And you can’t go to the third step, which will be next week’s podcast, how are you going to get there without figuring out who the heck you are and where you’re going. So these need to be done in sequence.
So let’s jump into today, which is, “Where are you going?”
“Where are you going?” is all about our mindset and allowing ourselves to be creative, allowing ourselves to think outside the box, allowing ourselves to dream. And to be the true visionaries of our business. Now, if you’re anything like me, intuitives can’t use a lot of the methods or frameworks like SMART goals, because those are created by and for sensors.
We do things differently. We need to learn how to mind map, which is a visual representation of the chaos going on in our intuitive brains at all time. We also need to be around likeminded people to figure out where we are going. Beware the “Dream Killers” who question us, and tell all the ways our plans and ideas won’t work. You know them, they say, “Can’t you just get a job?”
Another way we figure out where we’re going is, of course, vision boards. It’s nothing new. It’s a bit old school, but that shit works. And I’ve talked about this ad nauseum and other podcasts, but when I went to hypnotherapy school and became trained as a hypnotherapist, the main thing that I learned and took from that is that our subconscious brains are 90% of us. What are you listening to? Uplifting podcasts. All the things that are all part of the 90% of our subconscious.
So another massive part of where we are going is learning how to set boundaries. That is a big part, the whole codependency and cutting out some of the naysayers. Is setting boundaries so that we have space to dream, thinking outside the box, being creative, setting boundaries with your children, your spouse, your partner, your family members.
And then we need to take action—more on that next week. But once we figure out our dream and where we’re going, we must move. And so many of us get caught in a new vision, a new perfect plan… I call this “Squirreling.”
Alright, until next time I’m sending you so much love, and I will see you next Friday. Bye.
