How A Near-Death Experience Lead Me To Collecting Confidence Apr 20, 2023

Show notes

This week Zac flips the script and gets me to spill the tea on my new book, Collecting Confidence in an intimate way that you can’t hear anywhere else. I share some of my most meaningful memories, and how those moments have shaped the person I am today. If you want to know how a childhood “air band” made me understand my calling years later, how Travis pursued me all the way to a romantic encounter at Graceland, and how a near-death experience during childbirth awakened my passion and purpose, then you’ve come to the right place. Make sure you stay for the end because I’m also giving you a preview of the Collecting Confidence audiobook called, “Why I Wrote This Book”.

In This Episode:

Why the heck did I write a book?

How remembering your childhood self can help you discover your calling later in life

How I realized that Travis was the man for me

How a near-death experience awakened my purpose

A free preview of the audiobook, Collecting Confidence

This is one of my favorite moments from this week’s episode:

"Full confidence. Absolutely full confidence. It is a feeling. It is a knowing. It is a confidence that's like none other. And I think it took me a whole lifetime, or at least up until this point, to figure that out, because I believe that we're all born with confidence and life chips away at it and we lose it as we travel along that our path." – Kim

Do you want real confidence that doesn’t waiver in the face of circumstances?

Do you want to stop making excuses and value yourself more than ever?

Everything Hustle Culture Gets Wrong & What To Do Instead Apr 13, 2023

Show notes

We’re worn out, y’all! We live in an exhausted society and it's because we're all hustling. I’m here to tell you to STOP HUSTLING. Do I mean you shouldn’t work hard? No, you should work hard, but there is a huge difference between working hard and hustling. When you hustle, you’re thinking small. This is what I like to call the “crumb” mentality. The crumb mentality is when we think there isn’t enough to go around—because the world is limited—that we have to press, push, and scrape to get our part of whatever’s out there. In this episode, I'll tell you how to stop hustling for crumbs and start thinking bigger about your life.

This week:

What is hustle culture and the crumb mentality

Why persuasion is time wasted

How to stop hustling and think bigger about your life

The importance of power waiting

How to deal with fear and negative self-thoughts

The meme contest winner is revealed

This is one of my favorite quotes from this week’s episode:

"I'm not going to spend my energy trying to convince someone else that they need to like me, to date me, to be do business with me, to fill-in-the-blank with me. It's a waste of time. If people don't get you, celebrate you, and believe in you. Move on. Don't hustle to get their love, acceptance or whatever. I'm telling you, it's wasted time." – Kim
