169. Have You Taken Self Care Too Far?

Tue, 26 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Before we dive into the new year, it’s time to reflect on self-care and how it impacts your health and well-being. In this episode, I apply Charlie Munger’s principle, “Invert, always invert,” to challenge common self-care practices. Are some routines doing more harm than good? I explore the red flags you might be overlooking. I also discuss how social media’s self-care craze often promotes comparison and unsustainable habits, leading to burnout rather than balance. Self-care is about being flexible and empowering—not a rigid checklist. Let’s start 2025 strong by investing in intentional self care now.

Episode Highlights:

• [2:48] - Defining the true idea behind authentic self care.

• [3:55] - Analyzing red flag behaviors among self care practices, like food, exercise and sleep obsession.

It’s a privilege to get to share pockets of wisdom and inspiration with you that I receive in my consistent mission to educate myself from trusted and powerful sources! In today’s episode, I’m going to dive deeper into a concept called the “Beginner’s Mindset” from Sam Zell, real estate billionaire while also expanding on Simon Sinek’s “Infinite Game” theory. We will discuss how you can adopt these strategies in your own business, career, and in life. I’ve included some reflective questions at the end of this episode to challenge you and provide a starting point when it comes to building your ‘Beginner’s Mindset’ as you continue to grow!

Episode Highlights:

• [3:40] - How this beginner’s mindset of a willingness to learn can help you and its significance.

• [19:10] - How you can take action through these 4 reflective questions to help you see from a beginners mindset:

Reflection Questions:

1) When faced with a new challenge, do I approach it with curiosity and a willingness to learn, or do I rely on past experiences and stick to what I know?

2) How comfortable am I with saying, "I don't know" or "I need help"?

3) When was the last time I actively sought out new information, skills, or feedback that challenged my current way of thinking?

4) How do I respond when something doesn’t go as planned? Do I see it as a failure, or as an opportunity to learn and improve?

116. Accelerate Failure to Succeed Faster - April '23

Fri, 09 Feb 2024 10:00:00 +0000

CEOs of multi-million dollar companies. In this episode, you are investing your time to learn about the principle of accelerated failure and how it can serve your business or team.

In his book Ready, Fire, Aim, Michael Masterson discusses the principle of accelerated failure, which is the idea to become more efficient overtime by learning from mistakes and thus gradually increasing your ratio of success over failures. He offers a great example in his book, but to make it more personal, I want to share my own example of a failure from my professional past and how it applies to this principle.

I also share with you the three strategies or mindsets that are necessary in order to successfully incorporate the principle of accelerated failure in your business or health, including:

Failure is part of the process. It’s okay to fail.
Most of your good ideas will fail.
Our clients or results make the decision on what’s a failure or a success.

This principle is incredibly powerful and can save you time and money when implemented. Can you imagine how great the workplace would be if we celebrated failures and quickly moved onto projects which served us?

Main Highlights:

[1:54] - Today’s topic is increasing your speed by failing faster.

[2:58] - How Michael Masterson defines the principle of accelerated failure.

[4:11] - I share a personal business failure from my past.

[8:48] - Three mindset shifts needed to successfully incorporate accelerated failure in your business or corporate culture.

[16:03] - How to apply accelerated failure to your health.

109. What's In Your "Diet?" - July '23

Tue, 16 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0000

When I talk about "diet," I'm not just talking about food; it extends to the inputs we select that shape our lives. From the words we speak, to the media we consume, the communities we join, everything plays a crucial role in determining our life's trajectory.

I encourage you to carefully consider what inputs truly serve you and start editing out the choices that do not serve the person you are becoming. Monitor and become aware of negative self-talk, discouraging or unsupportive friends, gossip, and unhealthy habits. Instead, fill your life with positive influences, uplifting routines, nourishing food, and supportive communities that empower and support you. The best part is YOU have the power to choose a "diet" that sets you up for your level of success.

Main Highlights:

Your "diet" includes what you allow into your mind, heart and body through listening, speaking, thinking and surrounding yourself with, not just food!
Why it's important to remove negative inputs like worry, gossip and self-doubt from your “diet”
Connect with supporting inputs like uplifting people, routines, and nourishing food.
Above all else, guard your heart!
Reminder that you alone have the power to choose a “diet” that empowers you towards reaching your goals.

108. Would You Hire or Fire Yourself as Your Health Manager?

Fri, 12 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0000

If you’ve been around for the first few weeks of January, you know I’ve been centering my first episodes around my ‘New Year Health Blitz’, focusing on a new way to look at your health -outside of the trendy diet and workout culture. I am passionate about discussing how your health is closely tied to your mindset, and today I’ll be talking about skills vs behaviors when it comes to successfully reaching and maintaining your health goals. The best part is that this information is completely transferable to your business and vice versa! I hope you can take what has worked for me, apply it to your own journey, and be in the place you truly want to be a year from now!

Main Highlights:

• Defining what skills and behaviors are and how they differ.

• If you were to rate yourself as the employee for managing your health, would you give yourself a raise or be fired?

• You possess the behaviors and now is the time to learn new skills and become more confident in your health (and career.)

107. What Does Success Look Like For You?

Tue, 09 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Welcome back to the 3rd episode installment in a series I’m calling my “New Year Health Blitz!”, where I’m sharing a slightly different perspective to the ‘get healthy quick’ schemes you’re likely hearing a lot this time of year. If you’ve set some ambitious health goals this month, amazing! But I want to give you a fresh place to start from in terms of setting yourself up for health success not only in this month, but for a lifetime! I’d encourage you to go back and listen to the first episodes in the series (105 and 106), if you haven’t already. Now let’s dive in!

Main Highlights:

• Why speed in terms of health and diets doesn’t work.

• The longer your time horizon is for your goals, the more you increase your probability for success. Health for LIFE not the end of a 6 week crash diet!

• Looking deeper when it comes to understanding what success looks like for you and what you really want once you have it.

• Gathering data, tracking and measuring are how you measure success in your business. Why would you not use those same skills for measuring your health success?

106. Stacking Small Wins

Fri, 05 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0000

So glad to have you here in this new year! As I mentioned in Tuesday’s episode (105. Not New, But Better) I am devoting the first 4 episodes of the year to combat the “get healthy schemes” on the new year and provide you with real-world actions anyone can implement regardless of your baseline health. If you have tuned in before you know this is not the typical BS health tricks of extreme diet and exercise. This episode offers you a fresh perspective of elevating your health by stacking small wins. And yes, this exact skill can be carried over to your career and business. Tune in now and get ready to never get discouraged about your new year’s health resolutions!

Main Highlights:

• Reflecting on a time where I was successful and diving into investigative questions like “What was I doing, what were my actions and why was I seeing those results?”

• The power of looking beyond the superficial or big picture and searching indepthly for the little, consistent moves that make the most changes and growth.

• When it comes to your health and goal setting, going towards what will make the biggest impact on you and your subconscious, not what will provide the fastest results.

• Set yourself up for success but setting small, realistic goals you can meet that will boost your confidence to stack even more wins!

Today I wanted to share the things I have done or approached differently in the last year which have greatly impacted my growth both professionally and personally. My hope is from this episode you will be inspired to do things differently by consistently not following the norm and removing “should” from your vocabulary. By learning from others and taking intentional action, you will make it unreasonable to not succeed!

I am so honored to have you join me as I do the same thing as we journey to the next 100!

Main Highlights:

• Boldly veering off the path of what others think you “should” be doing.

• Focusing in on your end goal and asking how you can get there differently.

• The power of choosing to go all in on ONE business.

• More is not always better.

• Not forcing results, but taking the actions to let our desired results happen.

98. Are You Walking By Sight or Vision?

Fri, 08 Dec 2023 10:00:00 +0000

As someone who is blind one eye this question can have numerous meanings yet I tie this question to your business and health of course. In this episode I’ll be breaking down the arguments for walking by vision yet incorporating some sight when we need that extra boost in motivation. Plus I leave you with actions I incorporate when I want to refocus my actions to my vision. I hope this hits home and resonates with you like it did for me!

Main Highlights:

• Often our sight can lie to us when we feel like we’re taking the right action, but seeing little results right away.

• Doing something different, analyzing a new metric or changing perspectives can increase your focus when you begin to doubt or lose motivation.

• Staying consistent with the plan in progress, even when you can’t see past the incomplete “gray space.”

• 2 Actionable ways you can continue to walk by faith and not by sight!

88. Growth is Another Word for Change

Fri, 03 Nov 2023 09:00:00 +0000

One of the main values behind this podcast is to inspire you to dream and then TAKE ACTION to achieve those dream goals! So on today’s episode I’ll be bringing you a fresh perspective on a frequently used buzzword, growth. Listening to an episode of The Game with Alex Hormozi, I was inspired by when he said “Growth is another word for change!” Now let’s dive into that deeper!

Main Highlights:

• the importance of strengthening your bravery skills.

As we share in this “aha” moment, remember that even though growth is hard and change is scary, both require bravery that we all have within us!

86. The Success in Doing Less

Fri, 27 Oct 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Let’s take the story of ‘the tortoise and the hare’ a step further! Today I want to speak on a concept that really hit a spot with me recently and that’s the topic of consistency vs. intensity. I’ll be sharing some past experiences in my life where I found evidence of the benefits and disadvantages of these work ethics in both health and business, and hope this gets you thinking about them differently in your own journeys.

Main Highlights:

• Intensity has an end point, where consistency will keep you going just in a different time frame.

• Doing less, but consistently can actually wield you better success.

• Reflecting on your past to provide proof of places where you have been consistent is very powerful in working towards things in the future.

• How to recognize when your focus falters and questions you can ask yourself NOW to coach yourself on what you can do to move forward.

As I mentioned, I’ll be taking a moment at the start of each episode to shout out those who have been kind enough to leave a review on this podcast and I can’t tell you how much this helps if you could do the same! Let’s get this show introduced to more people just like you!

85. Shiny Object Syndrome Entrepreneurship with Chris Brien

Tue, 24 Oct 2023 09:00:00 +0000

You asked for it so I brought him back for another episode, my husband Chris Brien! Chris and I have been married for 18 years and currently own a general commercial contracting company together. Coming from 2 people with strong entrepreneurial mindsets, we have definitely succumbed to the “shiny object syndrome”with launching multiple businesses more times than we would like to admit. In this episode we’ll be exploring the concept of “shiny object syndrome” in entrepreneurship, and how to gain back alignment and focus. We are fortunate enough to balance each other’s strengths and weaknesses in our lives and in our business, and if you have listened at all you know we share it all in hopes of helping you.

Main Takeaways of this Episode:

• Defining what shiny object syndrome is for different people and how to recognize it.

• What you're consuming and listening to online can influence your decisions.

• Not just seeing the opportunity, but analyzing and testing the idea BEFORE investing time and money.

• Emotional decisions and reflecting on past business ventures we would have shut down sooner.

• The more masterful you become at your craft, the better for all parties involved, including the people you serve!

If this hit a chord with you as a business owner and has inspired you to refocus, I would love it if you could share this with someone else and give it a quick review, so this message could reach others just like us!

84. Using a Medical Process to Make Business Decisions

Fri, 20 Oct 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Looking to get the results you actually want as an entrepreneur, business owner or leader of a team? In today's episode, I’ll be sharing a strategic decision making framework to help you process decisions from a less emotional-based space. After spending 18 years in the pharmaceutical industry within various roles, I wanted to speak on how using a doctor’s SECC system (Safety, Ethicacy, Cost and Compliance) to make choices can be reframed and utilized from a business perspective.

Main Highlights:

• Questions to ask yourself and action steps within each element of the SECC.

• How to test effective methods in your business through tracking results.

• Non-emotional costs, like money spent or invested, are easier to analyze, but equally as important to mental, physical and relational costs.

• Compliance is tied heavily to commitment and results. If you lack compliance you lack results.

As I mentioned, I’ll be taking a moment in the beginning of each episode to celebrate those who have been kind enough to review this podcast and would be so grateful if you could take a second to do the same and spread some encouragement. You just might hear your name in a shoutout next week!

I have an exciting topic today that hits close to home for many of us high achievers out there! Last week, I had the privilege of speaking to a fantastic group of female entrepreneurs in real estate.

The topics of my talk were focused on business and health, yet something truly profound also struck me from side conversation at the conclusion of the event. It wasn't just about managing stress or adopting a nutritional mindset to increase your business. No, it was something deeper – the power of removing shame when pivoting in our careers, and that got me thinking about the times in my own life when I've felt the pull to change paths and the internal struggles that came with it.

I have faced that same internal battle multiple times throughout my professional journey – from financial advising to pharmaceutical sales, even a daring move into the restaurant business, media and now construction, I remember the struggles based on the standards I held of what others would think.

Discover how these transitions aren't to be feared, but embraced. Let's unravel the misconceptions surrounding guilt and shame tied to career changes, and instead celebrate how each pivot fuels expertise, resilience, and resourcefulness.

Main Highlights:

How to embrace career pivots, not fear them.
Shedding guilt and shame around changing careers.
Uncovering what or who is holding you back from your career change…it may be you.
How each career pivot is preparing you for your next level of greatness.

46. Increase Your Confidence by Getting Uncomfortable Repeatedly

Fri, 09 Jun 2023 07:00:00 +0000

As professionals and entrepreneurs, it's crucial to confront discomfort to gain confidence to thrive regardless of the environment. Stepping outside our comfort zone is essential for personal and professional growth yet it can be one of the hardest things to do. In this episode, we explore the challenges that arise when venturing into new territories and offer practical tips for staying with the discomfort avoiding falling back into comfort.

We often feel nervous and hesitant when trying something new. However, it's during these uncomfortable moments that we can sow the seeds of confidence. After all, everything new is uncomfortable or hard and by doing hard things repeatedly we grow our confidence.

Here’s the good news though, I am not solely referring to uncomfortable business activities. In this episode I share personal examples where I place myself in uncomfortable non-business situations so I can leverage my confidence gained in my business. Sounds too good to be true? Tune in and you will hear how I did it and you can too!

Fri, 02 Jun 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Picture this: I recently sat down with a dear friend over a cup of coffee, and our conversation ignited a fire within me. Today, I want to tackle a topic that affects us all: the scarcity mindset. You know, that nagging belief that there's not enough business or clients or money to go around due to fierce competition. But have you ever wondered where this mindset stems from? Let's dive deep and uncover the truth together.

In this episode, I'll walk you through my personal journey of breaking free from the scarcity shackles that held me back. Growing up in a high-achieving household, I absorbed the idea that my worth as a person hinged on winning and that someone else's success meant my failure. But my friends, I urge you to question this narrative. Is it really true?

Join me as I share how I embarked on a transformation from scarcity to abundance. Along the way, I discovered three powerful tools that have reshaped my mindset and opened up a world of limitless opportunities. We'll explore the profound impact of surrounding ourselves with the right people, the magic of podcasts in expanding our knowledge, and the transformative process of challenging our self-beliefs.

Trust me, my entrepreneurial friends, this episode is a goldmine of insights if you're ready to break free from the scarcity mindset. I promise you, there is an abundance of business waiting for us all. It's time to shift our perspective and unlock new horizons of success.

Download this episode now and share it with your ambitious colleagues. Together, let's embrace the abundance mindset with actionable steps, thrive in the world of business, and prove that success knows no limits! My friend…there is enough for all of us!

42. Breaking Free from Limiting Conditions

Fri, 26 May 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Join me as I debunk these fictional narratives and provide actionable steps to break free from self-imposed conditions. If you're an entrepreneur or aspiring business leader, this episode is a must-listen.

Do you ever have stories that you tell yourself about yourself that you believe to be fundamentally true, conditions that must be in place in order for us to get something that we want? Most, if not all, of us do. We tell ourselves that if only a or b were to happen, then I could achieve my goals or this is my experience so it must be true.

I invite you to tune in today as I explore common conditions we impose on ourselves. I open my past by sharing personal examples including practical techniques to eradicate your limiting beliefs and self-imposed conditions.

By jotting down your own conditions and subjecting them to critical examination, you'll gain valuable insights. I'll guide you through a series of questions below, helping you detach from false narratives and create new paths for success.

Can this condition survive on its own?
Name someone who has achieved what you want without your condition.
Detach the condition from your goal(s).
Don’t label things as right or wrong, good or bad.

Timestamps:

[2:41] - Is that a truth or story which you believe about yourself?

[5:28] - Conditions you set such as needing to have X to get Y.

40. Goals Reset After Life Events

Fri, 19 May 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Join me in this episode as we dive deep into the power of resetting and readjusting goals. It's time to ask yourself a critical question: How often do you revisit and realign your goals?

Drawing from personal experience, I share the journey my husband Chris and I embarked on after our goals in our twenties underwent significant changes with the arrival of our amazing kids. Let me assure you, it's a misconception to think that goals remain static after major life events like parenthood. They demand realignment with intention!

Celebrating milestones and achieving goals is incredible, but we mustn't forget that it's a signal for us to set new, realistic long-term goals that align with our values and priorities. In this episode, I delve into three invaluable insights Chris and I gained from our twenties, exploring what we would have done differently:

1️. Reassessing priorities across multiple areas

2️. Setting longer time frames for goals

3️. Seeking guidance from mentors

As an entrepreneur, saving time, money, and heartache is our shared mission. By sharing my personal reflections and experiences, I aim to provide you with the wisdom to navigate goal setting with clarity and purpose. We are in this together!

Tune into this episode and unlock the secrets to redefining success on your terms. Don't forget to share this episode with fellow business owners and entrepreneurs who strive for growth and fulfillment.

36. My Clothes Don't “Fit”

Fri, 05 May 2023 07:00:00 +0000

This episode is a little bit different because I am going to take you through something that I am literally going through right now - cleaning out my closet!

I walked into my closet a couple months ago, looked through everything and said to myself, “Nothing fits.” I’m not talking about the wrong size, I am referring to the fact that nothing fits the woman I am becoming.

I am a huge believer that personal growth never stops. Something that often gets missed is to make sure we match how we feel on the inside to how we show up for ourselves on the outside.

This has nothing to do with impressing other people and everything to do with confidence and growth.

Evolving your style along with your personal growth might be that one thing to give you the confidence for the next step in your career. I am sharing how I have evolved my style over the last 2 decades, including identifying exactly who this new version of me was, hiring a stylist, and cleaning out my closet.

Tune in to hear the full story, and I also encourage you to ask yourself some thought-provoking questions to get started.

How do I want to show up?
Does time invested in my inner self mirror how I am showing up?
Do my clothes not fit physically or not fit how I view myself?

Now, I can say without doubt, my closet “fits” me, yet I won’t let this be the last time I need a closet overhaul.

Time Stamps:

[3:12] - I am walking you through the style evolution throughout my life.

[5:20] - Learn how my clothes went from one extreme to another based on life events and career changes.

[9:14] - The steps I took to get started.

[14:12] - Don’t wait! Get started while you are growing personally.

[16:26] - Questions to help you reflect on whether you’re showing up as your interior self.

34. 5 Keys To TERRIBLE Health While In Business

Fri, 28 Apr 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Today’s episode may challenge the methods or mindset you use when creating a plan to reach your goals. Inversion is seemingly a counterintuitive way of thinking in that it involves planning for the opposite of what you want to happen. Listen in as I share the origins of the inversion technique and how anyone can implement this process when creating the strategy to reach their goals.

While I am relating this theory of inversion to health in this episode, you will definitely be able to see how this can be applied to multiple facets of your life, such as business or career goals. I walk you through the five keys to terrible health while building your career. Yes, you read that right, terrible health:

Not getting enough sleep or getting poor sleep
Not eating enough during the day or eating too much during the day
Working too long to exercise
Having no one to help you stay accountable
Believing that your health can wait

You’re definitely going to want to tune in to this one, and be sure to stay tuned in all the way to the end!

Time Stamps:

[3:02] - Inversion can at first seem counterintuitive.

[5:50] - The five keys to terrible health while building your career.

[12:52] - How I could have used inversion in my previous career and how you can implement it immediately.

32. Accelerate Failure to Succeed Faster

Fri, 21 Apr 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Increasing speed by failing faster might seem counterintuitive yet it is the exact method used by CEOs of multi-million dollar companies. On today’s episode, you are investing your time to learn about the principle of accelerated failure and how it can serve your business or team.

I also share with you the three strategies or mindsets that are necessary in order to successfully incorporate the principle of accelerated failure in your business or health, including:

Failure is part of the process. It’s okay to fail.
Most of your good ideas will fail.
Our clients or results make the decision on what’s a failure or a success.

This principle is incredibly powerful and can save you time and money when implemented. Please keep in mind, while I focused primarily on how accelerated failure applies to your business, this same principle can be applied in your health. Don’t forget to share this episode with your friends and colleagues. Can you imagine how great the workplace would be if we celebrated failures and quickly moved onto projects which served us?

Time Stamps:

[1:54] - Today’s topic is increasing your speed by failing faster.

Do I possess the skills of these components?
If I am lacking in a skill, do I need to learn the skill or hire/outsource?

My hope is that by sharing these examples from Alex and myself it will prepare you to operate from an advantage position as opposed to a blind disadvantage saving you time, money, and heartache. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on this episode!

28. Don’t Let Your Efficiency Reduce Your Efficacy

Fri, 07 Apr 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Today’s episode stems from a book that I have been reading - Michael Masterson’s Ready, Fire, Aim: Zero to $100 Million in No Time Flat. One of the many proven strategies he outlines in the book is the theory of incremental degradation, when it comes to product or services enhancements. The theory of incremental degradation is the idea that product quality is the sum total of many factors, some of which are not even noticeable, yet too many changes can become catastrophic.

Of course, you know I love to demonstrate the correlation between business and health so I encourage you to tune in as I share how to apply the theory of incremental degradation to your health, which could be the one piece to your puzzle you need in your health. Be sure to listen to the end as I leave you with some strategies on how to recognize and reduce your chances of allowing incremental degradation into your health strategies. With business to health the goal is to increase efficiency and results, yet it cannot take you away from your original goal, product, or service. I hope bringing more light to this theory is as impactful to you as it was to me. Don’t forget to share with someone you care about who may need this piece to their puzzle.

Time Stamps:

[2:53] - What is the theory of incremental degradation?

[8:43] - Minor reduction in quality might be imperceptible, but incremental degradation can be devastating over time.

[11:22] - How incremental degradation applies to your health.

[14:32] - The goal is to increase efficiency without sacrificing results.

[18:42] - The best thing I ever did was not allow excuses to win.

24. Why I Walked Away From a $17 Million Book of Business

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Reaching that goal may not feel like what you expect. Well, that is at least what happened to me. I grew the book of business, got the titles and the office and it did not feel like success to me. Looking around the office I saw my peers who were 15-20 years in the business and they looked horrible, mentally and physically. So I did what anyone else would do, right? I walked away form a career I worked so hard to build leaving behind a $17 Million dollar book of business.

Sometimes when we are climbing that corporate ladder we reach milestones that don’t end up being what we expected. Reaching these goals were not as fulfilling as I had pictured and left me wondering if this was it. Today, I take you through how I made the decision to change and why I would do it again or I should say, have done it again and again. Stick around till the end as I share my biggest takeaways which can help you reflect on your current career path.

Time Stamps:

[1:26] - This story may relate to you.

[5:35] - Reaching the top of the corporate ladder may not be what you think.

20. 5 Lessons I Wish I Knew 10 Years Ago

Fri, 10 Mar 2023 08:00:00 +0000

Wisdom comes from experience - both successes and failures - and is best put to use when it is shared with others, so listen in today as I share five lessons that I wish I would have learned ten years ago, as they would have saved me a lot of time and money.

When it comes to your health and saving tons of time, money, and heartbreak, I touch upon the importance of teamwork, losing weight the same way that you keep it off, having a timeline that lasts your entire lifetime, letting go of what is uncontrollable, and reducing stress (not just negative stressors but also positive ones).

Although all five of these lessons are tied directly to your health, many of them can be applied to other areas of your life as well, and this is an episode that you definitely will not want to miss! Afterall, I am sharing these because I wished someone else had done the same for me.

Time Stamps:

[2:35] - Wisdom should be shared with others.

[6:14] - The link between teamwork and your health.

18. That Pivot May Be Just What You Need

Fri, 03 Mar 2023 08:00:00 +0000

Have you ever found yourself wanting to pivot in your career but being held back for one reason or another? Yeah, me too! Today’s topic, pivoting, was inspired in part by my recent podcast episode with Felicia Romero (episode 14), and my goal is to share how my professional pivots were necessary in order for me to grow and gain experience. I share these pivots – my major professional pivots over the last twenty-one years, including my most recent pivot from a few weeks ago – in hopes to inspire you that your greatest opportunities could be on the other side of your pivot you may be resisting. To help guide you through your decision to professionally pivot or not, I offer these five questions I learned from Jamie Kern Lima at Kacia Ghetmeri’s EmpowerHER Live:

What is one way that you are hiding in your life right now?
What has hiding in plain sight or your self-doubt already cost you?
What will your life look like in five years if you keep hiding?
What about ten years?
What can I do today?

Remember pivoting can be a blessing in disguise. I am not saying it is easy, but I am saying it could be what your future self is waiting for you to do. I hope by sharing my professional pivots, it will inspire you to know and trust you are stronger than you may believe.

Time Stamps:

[1:58] - Could you be avoiding a professional pivot?

[5:52] - It can be powerful to reflect on previous pivots to see what experience can be leveraged for your next pivot.

[6:16] - Sharing my major professional pivots.

[12:35] - Hear about my most recent pivot.

[16:34] - Five key questions to guide you through your next decision to pivot.

11. What Does Your First Impression Really Say?

Tue, 07 Feb 2023 08:00:00 +0000

Listen in as Sheley dives into impressions today, not only the impressions that we leave on others but also the impressions that we leave on ourselves. When it comes to how we want others to view us, we usually want to leave a lasting impression and put ourselves in their shoes. However, what we don’t always consider is how much of that impression is tied to what we think of ourselves.

You are your business billboard: how you talk about yourself or others, how you present yourself, your eye contact, your words, your questions, and of course YOUR HEALTH. Sheley discusses how your self impression is directly linked to your level of confidence. And your level of confidence is directly linked to your professional success. The great news is this is all something that we can control because the only thing we can control is ourselves. Sheley has been there too and wants you to tune in to hear more on how you can leverage your health in all impressions.

Sheley talks you through five essential questions to help you align your impression of yourself with what you hope others see too including:

How do I feel when I look in my closet? Am I wearing the same outfits again and again?
What am I hiding based on the outfit I'm selecting?
What impression do I have of myself and does that align with what I hope others see in me?
What am I saying to myself when I look in the mirror or when I get dressed?
Who can I team up with to help me or what is the one action I can take today?

These questions might make you feel uncomfortable, and that is the point. Expect to be uncomfortable and know that is the first step to creating change. This isn’t only about changing who you are but who you see yourself as, and it’s limitless.

Time Stamps:

[1:35] - Recently asked to attend a networking group.

[3:26] - Comparing impressions to your last job interview.

[4:18] - The importance of the impression of yourself is more important than that of others.

[6:00] - Confidence is directly linked with your health.

[8:41] - Your lack of confidence shows in how you value your services.

[9:48] - The only thing that you can control is yourself.

[11:05] - 5 question prompts to help you dive deeper into the impression you have of yourself.

[11:53] - The questions are meant to make you feel a little uncomfortable. Embrace it and create the impression you desire.

9. How I increased my Sales Performance & Income by Leveraging My Health

Tue, 31 Jan 2023 08:00:00 +0000

When it comes to our career or business, our primary focus is typically what tactics and strategies can we implement to take us to the next level and beyond. Maybe you read self-help books and/or think that you have to change your branding scheme. Our initial thoughts are external tactics, rightfully so, but what if the missing link were actually staring back at you in the mirror?

Maintaining physical and mental health is crucial for a business owner to perform at their best and achieve their goals, not only for them personally but also those who depend on them. Good physical health allows you to maintain energy and focus throughout the day, while good mental health allows you to make clear, sound decisions. So many entrepreneurs don’t realize the benefits of prioritizing self-care and wellness, even though their own health could increase productivity, revenue, and future success.

Listen in as Sheley discusses how your health could be the one thing that’s holding you back from reaching your next level of income. She provides you with a different perspective of leveraging your health in order to make more money and also provides three tips to help you get started today!

Time Stamps:

[2:09] - Your health could be holding you back from your next level of income.

[4:27] - Both your physical and mental health are instrumental to career success.

[5:15] - Sheley shares insight into her experience within corporate America.

[6:58] - Sheley shares three reasons why we don’t tie health and wealth together.

[11:54] - What does it mean to your business or career and those around you if you are operating at below optimal levels?

[12:14] - Sheley leaves listeners with three tips.

8. How a Knee Injury Turned into a New Career Opportunity with IFBB Pro and Coach Ashley Wiens

Fri, 27 Jan 2023 08:00:00 +0000

Sheley has looked up to today’s guest, Ashley Wiens, for a while and has been following her competitive fitness journey which has now changed to profession. Ashley is an online nutrition and fitness coach and personal trainer who specializes in neuromuscular reeducation to help clients build lean muscle, lose body fat, and get out of pain through corrective exercise.

She is also a former D1 college basketball athlete, an IFBB figure pro, and a cover model.

Ashley is a firm believer that things happen for a reason, and she discusses how a knee injury ended her college basketball career, yet opened a new door to opportunities.

Ashley shares, however, how extremism when it came to diet and exercise was not working for her and maintaining an Olympic figure wasn’t sustainable.

In this episode, Sheley shares two examples of the power of the question why?, one from her professional background and the other is from her conversation with her son.
