Powerback 172: How to motivate yourself Aug 10, 2023

Show notes

There are things that you need to do or you want to do, but you can't seem to find the inspiration or the motivation to get your ass moving to start them. After all, it is extremely appealing to sit on the couch and scroll on social media, watch a movie or lots of Netflix, or do basically anything else to avoid doing the thing that you don't have the motivation to do.
But, how do you find motivation when you are unmotivated? How do you get the oomph to get going so you can actually complete the things that you want to start or need to finish?
Look, motivation is not going to fall out of the sky, come into your house, punch you in the face, and then light you up like a magical unicorn. So, in today’s Powerback® episode, I’m sharing some practical ways to get you motivated. Because it's especially in these unmotived moments when you must learn to be your number one advocate and support yourself with the tools to get shit done.
We’ll go through:

It’s always about honoring yourself and what you need
You don’t always need to be motivated to do things
Build awareness and establish your goal or intent
Evaluate the situation and what you need
Decide and take action because motivation comes from movement
Tips to help your future self be more motivated

Powerback 171: Get out of the weeds Aug 03, 2023

Show notes

Do you ever feel like you get caught up in the weeds of things? Are you caught up in the little details and all that little stuff that needs your attention? Are you spread thin and doing 100 things at any given moment?
Then, you probably don't have the time or the energy to do the shit that you actually need to do. Most importantly, you don't have the time or energy to do the things that you want to do, those things that you're striving for in your life and in your business.
So, on today's Powerback® episode, we will talk about getting out of the weeds. Yes, my friend, the art of delegation, and recognizing when it's time to let something go so that you can take back the space and capacity to do the things that you want.
We’ll go through:

It’s all about control, and letting go of it
Just because you can, doesn’t mean that you should
Communicate your needs and empower others to fulfill them
Stop being the bottleneck
Using the Powerback® process to get out of the weeds

Powerback 169: 5 Habits that will help you grow your business Jul 20, 2023

Show notes

Before you are a business owner, you are a human, and as a human, you have thoughts, feelings, desires, emotions, backstories, habits, and all of these things that go into making you who you are.
But, when you start a business, those things don't go away. If anything, they get challenged, they get amplified, they get seen and they get heard. So, when you are looking at growing the business, you are also looking at growing yourself.
In today's Powerback® episode, we’re doing just that. I will teach you the five habits that I recommend implementing and some really tangible ways for you to start making those shifts to help not only yourself but also your business grow.
We’ll go through:

#1 Working on yourself and your mindset
#2 Learning to trust yourself and your intuition
#3 Take messy action
#4 Knowing when to let go of something or delegate it
#5 Befriend your numbers

168: Empowered Rage with Vanessa Alfaro Jul 11, 2023

Show notes

How many times have you felt angered by something only to push it down or write it off? How many times have you wanted to rage out but decided that wasn’t acceptable and chose to bottle it up instead?
Anger is a primal and natural emotion that wants to be expressed, just as joy, sadness, and excitement do. When we learn to honor and safely express anger, we can free ourselves from the density that it holds in our minds and bodies.
Today, we’re talking with Anger and Communication Coach, Vanessa Alfaro, about honoring and releasing anger to transform your life and relationships.
In this episode, you’ll learn:

Building awareness and giving yourself permission to feel are life-changing
The consequences of suppressing our emotions
How moving through and releasing your rage can be transformational
An overview of The Anger Algorithm, a lifelong tool to process rage
Verbally venting versus physically venting
Anger and rage are signals of something that needs healing
Safe and healthy ways to feel and express anger

Vanessa turned her rageful traumatic upbringing into what inspires her to do what she does today, believing anger and rage are opportunities for deep transformational healing. She developed a revolutionary process that saved her life – The Anger Algorithm. Vanessa's been a coach for 10+ years and uses The Anger Algorithm to help married women relieve bottled-up anger and resentment so they can skillfully navigate conflict and have empowered conversations.
