Powerback 167: What if you decided that you CAN? Jul 07, 2023

Show notes

What if today instead of deciding “I can't”, you decided that “I can”? And then, most importantly, what if you backed that up with “I will”?
One of the things that I see more often than not, particularly in women, is that you get an idea, a thought, a glimmer of inspiration and it starts to build in your mind and in your body. But before you can even take a singular action forward, you talk yourself out of it.
Somewhere deep inside your subconscious, you have formed the belief that you can't. “I can't do this, because I don't know enough.”, “I can't do this, because I don't have time.”, “I can't do this, because I don't have the finances.”, etc. But, in most cases, it's not all these external sources or resources that are stopping you. It's yourself.
So, in today’s Powerback® episode, I'm going to challenge you to start to shift that narrative. Because when you switch from convincing yourself that you can't, to convincing yourself that you can, everything in your life and your business starts to shift because of it.
We’ll go through:

What’s happening in your mind and its impact on your reality
Breaking the cycle with a conscious decision
Examples of coaching clients who switched from “I can’t” to “I can”
Recognizing where you have resistance for change

Powerback 166: How to build confidence Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

Do you feel confident in your life and in your business?
When we feel confidence within ourselves, we are grounded, we feel like we're on top of the world, and that ‘of course, we've got this shit’ certainty. It's a really good feeling.
But when this feeling is missing, when we seemingly are lacking confidence within ourselves, everything feels harder. That’s when comparison comes out of left field and smacks you in the face, and when you really start to question yourself and your abilities.
So, in today’s Powerback® episode, we'll talk about discovering and building your own version of confidence, so that you can start to show up in your life and your business as YOU, the unshakeable you, the you that backs herself up even when she doesn’t have all the answers because there is a deep knowing that you're meant to be there.
You’ll learn:

Everyone has their own version of confidence
Someone else's confidence is simply proof that you too can be confident
What confidence actually is
The recipe for building confidence

Show notes

When was the last time you allowed yourself to fully feel your emotions? Have a good cry? Angry scream out some pain? Dance your face off?

We can heal ourselves if we give our bodies what they need
How to start listening and reconnecting to your body

Powerback 164: Navigating opinions, nay-sayers, and haters Jun 15, 2023

Show notes

Do the opinions of others, or of the keyboard warriors, get in your way and stop you from moving forward? Do they stop you from truly speaking your mind and actually being who you truly are in your life and in your business?
If you are ready to let go of that, to speak truly and show up authentically, and to just do the thing that you feel called to do without all of those thoughts and feelings in the way, then, my friend, this week’s Powerback® episode is just for you.
We are talking about the opinions, the naysayers, and the haters of the internet and in your life, about how loud their voices can get and how big their impact on you can be. We are also exploring some ways to reframe it, to take your Powerback®, and to remind you that you don't need their validation and you don't need their approval in order to be yourself.
There are people right now scrolling through their phones just waiting for you to show up. Are you ready to finally stop fighting yourself and make a greater impact?

Show notes

Do you ever get overwhelmed by the amount of decisions you have to make? Or the weight of one or two big decisions? Indecision causes stress, anxiety, and overthinking – yet sometimes it feels easier to deal with those things than it does to trust what you deeply know or want.
Today, we’re talking to prosperity and success coach Allyson Chavez about the power of making decisions and how your feminine energy and innate “knowing” can help you achieve your goals.
In this episode, you’ll learn:

What happens when you’re misaligned
Stop the “Yeah, but…” and fighting your dreams
Simple steps to start making decisions quickly and easily
The power of aligned decisions followed by inspired action
How your brain works and your decisions about the world
The importance of staying in alignment for long enough
Trust your heart over your head, it’s the decision maker
The fear of decisions is the failure

Allyson teaches women how to get phenomenal results with ease, bend time & space, achieve their goals without hustle or grind, & reshape their reality in feminine energy (no more constant pushing)! Her work has been featured on CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, and hundreds of television, newspaper, and magazine outlets.

Powerback 163: Clarity on what to do next Jun 08, 2023

Show notes

Are you overwhelmed and stuck in freeze mode? Are you overthinking the shit out of stuff and saying some really craptastic things to yourself?
You have an idea, you have a vision, you have a passion. There's something calling you, something pulling you and it gets really exciting, but then you realize how big this is and how many pieces of the puzzle there are to put together and your body fucking shuts down. Sounds familiar?
What I see happen is that it's not your idea that overwhelms you, it's not your idea that feels impossible, it's the clarity on what to do next that’s missing, the focus on the bigness of it, and the need to have every single detail figured out before you do anything.
So, in this week’s Powerback® episode we're talking about figuring out what in the hell to do next, so you’re no longer stopping yourself from doing what you want and creating something new.
We’ll go through:

Focusing on the bigness of it
Needing to have everything figured out
Wavering and indecision
7 simple steps to create the clarity you need to move forward

I combine energy work with grounded, practical action, and together we’ll acknowledge the limiting beliefs and habits that may be holding you back while leaning into who you truly are and how you work most efficiently.
