6 Tips to help you be seen & take action

4/14/2021

Action = feedback = clarity = confidence to show up, be seen & make your mark.

TIPS TO HELP YOU TAKE ACTION:

1. DO IT FOR JUST ONE. The fear that surrounds showing up & taking action is often knowing there's a possibility that no one will read, listen or buy. But if you focus on just the ONE… because let's be real, there is always ONE person who needs to hear what you have to say ... that will give you the confidence to keep on sharing.

2. CHUNK DOWN. Get SPECIFIC. Focus on SMALL daily steps. When you try to do too much, over think or over plan, you create overwhelm. This gets you out of that high vibration space where you attract the results you want. The idea is to create from INSPIRED PLACE.

3. ONLY TAKE INSPIRED ACTION. Everything carries an energetic vibration. When you’re not feeling confident in your purpose in that moment, you force creation and sharing, and transfer that low-vibe energy to your potential client. This will likely repel them & not create the outcome you want.

Bottom line: when you’re not feeling it (b/c there will be days, trust me), it’s more productive to rest and get back to your heart, and then pick up from there.

4. DETACH FROM THE OUTCOME: Success happens on the journey, not when you reach some specific destination. Being open to receiving during the process and listening to the feedback from your clients/the market provides the clarity you need to pivot your biz/program/strategy as necessary. Don't forget: where you are supposed to end up or who you are supposed to become is often packaged very differently than you originally envisioned.

5. SIMPLIFY AND FOCUS on only the actions that maximize your results (80% of results come from 20% of you action…get more by doing less, that's how I roll). This strategy helps guard your energy (& and your sanity) so you can keep showing up fully for your peeps.

6. DO THE MINDSET WORK to move past the fear and insecurities around showing up and being seen. Action will be lacking with a limited mentality. You can’t possibly produce the results you want if you don’t think you are good enough or worthy of them.

I promise, once you decide on sharing your gift, God/the Universe will conspire to support you.

How to figure out your true calling

Okayyyyy, sis.

This is one of the TOP limiting beliefs that keep gals from going after that crazy big dream.

Yet, it’s usually just rooted in not being SUPER CLEAR on YOUR SUPERPOWER (2nd step in my Confidence Blueprint).

Because clarity on your calling will help give you the confidence to own that gift & finally go after it.

At this point, fear doesn't have any place to hang around (bubyyyyeee!) because you're so crazy clear on your mission to change lives that you don't have time to focus on the "what if's!"


So FIRST: let's pinpoint your superpower...

HOW To show up confidently online (for your business & yourself)

People think they’re either confident or they’re not.

But really, that’s a bunch of horse 💩.

Everyone is innately confident; some just haven’t nurtured that part of themselves yet.

Or maybe they’ve tried to, but haven’t had the right tools or knowledge to do so.

The reality is, confidence is already inside of you.

But bringing it to life means letting go of the limiting beliefs and the shame around your imperfections…

and starting to believe that you have your own unique superpower that literally has the power to change freaking lives, human hearts that specifically need what only you can offer.

It’s about stepping into your courage and being vulnerable, and taking the scary as shit action to SHARE and BE SEEN.

Because showing up in the world and sharing your authentic truth is the SECRET SAUCE to bringing your confidence to the surface.

And guess what happens when you start to step into your power …

You give others PERMISSION to step into theirs  … imperfections and all.

And isn’t that what it’s all about?

As you take poop your pants 💩 scary action, you attract a tribe that believes in poop your pants 💩 scary action too. And together you can poop your pants 💩 as you leap together (that’s a little much… I know 😂😳), nurturing, supporting, cheering each other on to a higher level of not only confidence, but of being.

BUTTTT, ya gotta start girl. So here is my Confidence Blueprint I shared at the All In Women’s Conference last month to help you do just that. Scroll for full on explanations of each crucial step.

Once you start to do the work to show up as your true self, God/the Universe will conspire to support your growth & your most confident life.

1. upgrade your mindset

Picture
Ask yourself why you aren't showing up?
If you're not showing up confidently, your brain is running on unconscious beliefs that are telling you that you aren't good enough (likely from childhood experiences).


After identifying the thoughts that are keeping you fearful, doubtful and stuck, it's time to reprogram your subconscious mind with beliefs that mirror your future self - that reinforce your worthiness for success and abundance.


Each new thought & choice that you make that is in alignment with your future self primes the brain to install the neurological
hardware to actually think, feel and act like the kickass chick you want to be. As you practice the new ways of thinking & being (through the mindset techniques I’m about to teach you), you are rewriting a new program, so eventually making choices that are in alignment with your future become automatic at the unconscious level.

Reprogram the Subconcious mind to manifest what you want

Finalizing my session for tomorrow on Authentic Confidence...

The part I CAN’T FREAKING WAIT to teach … how the brain determines how we show up in the world and thus what we create/attract in our life (results, opportunities, people).

Confidence IS a MINDSET.


If you’re feeling less than confident, you’re operating on old unconscious systems shaped by childhood, trauma, pain, experiences, that reinforce the idea that you’re not good enough (bananas 🍌).


THE BASICS:
Thoughts ➡️ emotions ➡️ behaviors ➡️ results.
(A thought creates a feeling in the body that directs the action you take, producing a result)


EXAMPLE:
THOUGHT: “I’m not worthy enough/pretty enough/smart enough” ➡️ EMOTION: Fear/Doubt (low frequency/survival mode) ➡️ BEHAVIOR: Procrastination (scared to show up) ➡️ RESULTS: SHIT!

Emotions have energy attached to them. And you attract what you are. When you reprogram your subconscious mind with thoughts that serve your future self (“I am worthy of success & abundance”), you create higher energy emotions that are a magnet for what you want. (Swipe ➡️ emotion scale & their corresponding energies)

So, HOW DO YOU REPROGRAM YOUR BRAIN!? Start showing up as your Future Self (literally).

Each new thought/feeling/choice that’s in alignment with your future self primes the brain to install the neurological hardware to actually think, feel and act like the kickass chick you want to be. As you practice the new ways of thinking & being, you strengthen the new program, so eventually making choices that are in alignment with your future become automatic at the unconscious level. The old toxic belief system will be overrun by the new programming that reflects your future self, and one day, you'll just wake up as Her.

This is how you create new thoughts & habits that produce wanted results WITHOUT STRUGGLE.

I’m walking through how to do this step-by-step TOMORROW at the ALL IN VIRTURAL CAMP. Also talking to ways the brain tries to keep you safe (#COMPARISON, #PERFECTIONISM, #PROCRASTINATION, #OVERTHINKING) & how to overcome, so you can continue showing up as your most confident, authentic self.

how to recover from burnout

So we talked about signs of burnout, now let's talk about overcoming it, shall we 😏

(If you missed that blog, go check it out ... I get all nerdy as to what's actually happening in the body when these symptoms surface 🤓)

Part of healing from burnout, it's nurturing the Parasympathetic Nervous System - the arm of the Automatic Nervous System that helps you relax and chill out. Naturally, if prolonged stress has kept you in the flight or fight response for too long (activation of the SNS), then it's time to balance these two systems back out!

Recovering from burnout is NO FREAKING JOKE. It took me a solid 6 months of intentional #holistic action (mind, body + spiritual nourishment) to start functioning properly again. 

DISCLAIMER: The healing process is not a one-size fits all. **Be sure to consult your doc**

TIPS TO ACTIVATE THE PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

MINIMAL ALCOHOL + CAFFEINE: Alcohol and caffeine tax the adrenal glands whose main function is to help your body deal with stress. #AdrenalFatigue negatively affects
cortisol production, causing debilitating mental & physical symptoms & depletion of key nutrients, like B-vitamins, essential for energy & brain function.

SLEEP: Poor sleep impairs brain function & overall recovery. Getting at least 8 hours of quality sleep will optimize cognition, concentration, productivity and performance.

LOW INTENSITY EXERCISE: Intense exercise is stress on the body and can activate the "flight or fight" response, releasing stress and catabolic hormones. Stick to yoga, walking or swimming

MASSAGE: Gentle touch activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System to calm the body and slow your heart rate.

MEDITATION: Slows your breathing, heart rate & blood pressure, and let's your body know everything is going to be ok!

HOW TO KNOW YOUR NERVOUS (OR STRESS RESPONSE) SYSTEM IS BALANCED AGAIN:
Track your HRV, heart rate variability. This nifty metric essentially tells you how well your body is dealing with stress. I wear the Whoop sleep & performance tracker every night for this!

TOP 5 supplements for driven female entrepreneurs

Peak performance in your professional life starts with balanced habits at home, babes!

Unfortunately though, our bodies often require more than what our daily diet can provide. However, natural supplements help the body fill those nutritional voids and keep our system - from our brain to our gut - operating at its best. When we feed our bodies the nutrition that they need, we increase our energy, enhance our mental focus and clarity and lower our stress, making the potential for success unlimited.

Although a supplement routine should ebb and flow with how your body feels in any given season, there are some standard supplements that should be foundational staples for every high achiever. These additions to a holistic self care regimen - including daily meditation, journaling, devotionals/affirmations and personal development reading - will help any driven female online coach or small biz owner feel balanced and capable of taking on any challenge or making any decision.

Try the below supplement recommendations. For more nutrition, mindset and daily habits for high performing coaches, be sure to download my FREE Self Care for Success Guide 👉🏼 https://mailchi.mp/5d979d6b4f2a/selfcareforsuccess!

*Before you read on, please remember that supplementation is not a one-size fits all experience. What works for one girl boss, might not work for another. Also, although I am a Board Certified Holistic Health & Nutrition Coach, I would highly recommend getting any supplementation approved by your doctor before consuming.*


TOP 5 SUPPLEMENTS FOR DRIVEN FEMALES:
🌿MCT OIL (medium-chain triglycerides): Boosts energy, performance + mental clarity. BONUS: extra fat burning (helps use fat instead of carbs for energy; optimizes good bacteria in the gut)
 
🌿ASHWAGHANDA: A powerful herb in Ayurvedic heeling – increases energy from chronic stress, gives sense of relaxation while maintaining peak mental focus + lowers cortisol and preserves your adrenal function.
 
🌿MAGNESIUM [I take every night before bed]: A calming effect on the brain, relief for anxiety, better sleep.
 
🌿PROBIOTICS: Gut bacteria manufacture 95% of the body's supply of serotonin. Probiotics are KEY for digestion, mood, sleep - basically our physical AND mental health.
 
🌿MULTI-VITAMIN: Packed with all the key ingredients needed to fill the gaps in your diet.
 
 
 ***OTHER GAME CHANGERS TO CONSIDER***
🧘B6 + B12 Vitamins (optimum brain function, energy, mood)
🧘L-Tyrosine (mood, focus, alertness)
🧘Rhodiola Rosea: (Relieves stress symptoms, including anxiety/depression)

Self care vs. action - the balance between the two

1/12/2021

Self care can turn into avoidance reallllllll fast…

Part of the gig of being a successful coach or practitioner is balancing the dance between self care and action.

It’s a fine line … a tight rope … and the goal is to learn how to teeter back and forth without falling too far to each side...

👉 Too much self-care leads to AVOIDANCE.⠀
⠀
👉 Too much action (even if it’s inspired) leads to BURNOUT.⠀

I’ve been at both extremes and this is what I’ve learned…

Self care is 🔑 to success, BUT only if you use it to heal and replenish from the action you take … not to avoid it.

There is a time and a place for SELF CARE and ACTION.

IF YOU'RE ONE that needs to think through the whole plan, process every step ahead, figure out exactly how everything works (hello ME 🙋🏼‍♀️)... the thing for you is to take some dang action before perfecting it or having all the answers (what you're looking for is in the execution).

IF YOU'RE ONE to take action without feeling, being in tune with your body, mind, energy … then it’s time to slow the F down, feel what’s bubbling up and do the self care.⠀

If you need to slow down, don’t think you’re missing out on results or success. It’s an investment in your future and the pay-off will be MASSIVE 🔥. Give yourself permission.

💫So, FOR THE GALS staying hidden too long, time to take some action & figure yourself out along the way.

💫FOR THE GALS burning the candle at both ends, time to turn inward and refill the tank.

The best kind of results come from inspired action supported by a solid self care regimen. But always remember to balance out the two. If one feels out a whack, it’s time to balance out again.⠀

And honestly, I’ll tell ya from experience, that taking just ONE SCARY but ALIGNED action can make your soul feel more calm and balanced (afterwards) than months of baths, wine & avoiding the work you know you need to be doing (“self care”).

Dance the dance. You’ve got this, boo.😘

🌿PS: to help you dance between the two, check out my Self Care for Success Guide. It is FREE and JAM PACKED with all the supplements, mindset practices, daily habits & more for my high performing females out there. Link➡️bio!

your brain is hardwired to keep you in your comfort zone

When you feel resistance or doubt...

When you're overwhelmed & exhausted af,..

​When you're on the verge of saying “F this” ....⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Know this FACT ... your brain is hardwired to survive & keep you safe, above all else.

It wants to keep you in the space that’s familiar and comfortable where nothing can go wrong, instead of allowing you to creep into the space of possibility, magic and maybe a little discomfort (discomfort is growth and it can feel shitty at first!).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At the most basic level:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉Stress, fear, and #anxiety = SURVIVE MODE
👉Breath, alignment, balance, #positiveselftalk, joy = THRIVE MODE⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The battle between the two extremes will always be there. The voice trying to hold you back will constantly try to hush the voice of your highest self. But you get to choose, every day, which voice wins by the thoughts you think. You have the power.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being aware of this simple understanding will help set your mind up for success. Survive or thrive … I hope you always choose the latter. 😘
