Coming Out Gold

Last week, I shared a mantra that's helping improve my life: slow, soften, exhale, expand. It is helping me learn to come alive in my own story. We have served our time setting aside all that sets our souls on fire, Lovie! It is time to live out our dreams. Today, we will drive further down this same road by learning what it means to become the main character in our lives. Brene Brown says that greatness is owning your story and loving yourself through the process. And I have chosen this as the journey I will undertake in this next season. As a listener of the podcast, I hope it is a journey you, too, choose to take. Let me try and connect some dots for us today. And be sure to come back as this episode is only the tip of the iceberg!

If variety is the spice of life, then monotony is the anesthesia of it. Monotony is a lack of variety and interest; a tedious repetition and routine. But what happens when daily rhythms become deep ruts? If you have been here for a bit you may have heard me talk about ruts and how they are defined as being dull and unproductive and hard to change. I have also stated I don't want to be in a rut and I don't want you to be in one either.  Monotony. It has us falling asleep inside our own lives. And that my friend is no way to live out our one beautiful life. On today's episode let's create a plan for balancing rhythms that bring ease with having enough variety that we don't fall into a rut.As always, DM me with your thoughts on this episode.

We have been conditioned to believe that women always fight with other women. It was a lie sown into our consciousness and then pumped into the culture. We’ve been conditioned to think there’s not enough room at the table for all of us so we fight against others to ensure we have a place. Those are lies from the pit of hell. We can be FOR others without believing the same things they do. It is my "two things can be true at the same time" thing again. The world would be a flat place to live if we were cookie-cutter versions of some ideal a man created and told us we had to be.  Please, be an ally to other women. Period.As always, DM me with your thoughts on this episode. If you are interested in hiring a coach and ready to make some changes in your life, please consider a free discovery call with me.

In today's episode, we tackle the choice between new blessings and old baggage. If you took on the challenge in episode 94 of evaluating your life and doing a midyear reset, some things may have bubbled up for you. You may have felt some resistance and wondered the source.  If you didn't do the reset, I am sure you have previously experienced resistance or sensed some broken patterns in your life. This is part of being whole humans in this world. The beautiful thing is we have an opportunity to do a new thing. We can choose whether to cling to our old baggage or open our hands to receive new blessings.  Take a listen to this episode and make your choice! As always, DM me with your thoughts on this episode.

Let me state the obvious here. There is nothing special about January. It doesn't hold some mystical power to help you set and reach your goals. You can choose to do that on any day that ends in y no matter the month. When this episode drops many in America will be celebrating July 4th. Since July kicks off the second half of the year it is the perfect time for a reset. Christmas is 25 weeks away as I record this episode which basically means it will be here in approximately 15 minutes. Because of this, let's be intentional about how we will navigate the remainder of 2024. If you are keeping up with the episodes you would have heard episode 89 where we talked about how decision+vision+action=growth. We are going to use that process to make the rest of 2024 all we hope it to be. And in doing so, we will set ourselves up for 2025 without feeling all the feels we can experience when we are surviving or floating through life.   Lets get started...

Today we are going to chat about finding satisfaction with our life by embarking on a personal renaissance. I share tips for how to rebrand, rebuild, and resurrect our true identity. You get to make your life what you want it to be. You get to define your true identity, discover or uncover your purpose, and build a life accordingly. It won't be perfect or without bumps but as the amazing Brene Brown says, 'When we have the courage to walk into our story and own it, we get to write the ending." Let's get started!

If practicing neutrality and saying "interesting" helps us become curious and less judgmental, then taking action will help us evolve even more. Today, I will offer some practical strategies for taking some beliefs you may have about your identity and challenging that list of "nots" we create for ourselves over time that manage to define who we are and how we move around the world.

Have you heard of the saying about the glass being half-full? Maybe someone has accused you of being a glass-half-empty person. Well, today I want to offer a third way of seeing, one free of judgment and rooted in neutrality. I hope it helps you practice observing not absorbing as we strive to live a softer story.

In today's episode, I want to do a real talk with Coach Tammy episode focused on growth. We are saturated in such a microwave society where we want - or more accurately demand - instant results. We want what we want when we want it. Hard stop. And that applies to personal growth as well for many of us.   Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but sustainable change doesn't happen like that.  Lasting growth is done incrementally...slowly over time. Tiny baby step by tiny baby step. Let's chat about it... As always, DM me with your thoughts on this episode.

Have you seen the Disney movie Wish? Well, I did, and it got me thinking. In today's episode, I am asking if we gave our dreams away... to shoulds, for protection, or so we could meet the expectations of others. When we give them up or away we give away and give up on a part of our soul that needs to be expressed. It is time we find those dreams and start gooing after them!  As always, DM me with your thoughts on this episode.

Last week I celebrated my birthday. I had to do the math to figure out how old I was because I don't ever think about it. That whole age is just a number thing. I am not going to lie, I cannot believe how old I am. I seriously don't know how that happened. Okay, so I do know, but I just don't get how life and the years have flown by. This year I was very intentional about having a different attitude about this day. I didn't want to carry the mantle of heaviness on my shoulders as I have done for years now. Instead, I tried to have open hands about it. My intention for sharing this episode today is to offer another option for navigating a season that makes you uncomfortable or scratches open an old wound. We will all encounter them so let's try to make it better. I hope you find one or more of these helpful as you live your story.  As always, DM me with your thoughts on this episode.

Today, I want to talk about ghostwork and how we, as women, can shake off the cloak of invisibility we often wear. A couple of years back, I heard the phrase "Ghostwork" on a podcast, and I was intrigued. It talked about the countless jobs women do without acknowledgment or recognition. Yet if those things weren't completed by women, I have no doubt people would notice. Join me as I offer three steps to help us stop doing ghost work and learn to shake off the cloak of invisibility.

In this episode, I share a quote by author Dr. Allison Cook, who says in her book The Best of You, "Your identity isn't fixed. It's a process of bringing out the best of you." This started me on a path of digging into a fixed vs. growth mindset. I get very transparent today about some false labels I have been wearing for far too long. It is an emotional one but I felt the need to peel back the curtain to show some deep work I am tackling in this season. I always want to be real with you. Just know there is some talk of trauma and ED. Opt out if that is a trigger for you! As always, DM me with your thoughts on this episode.
