Picture this, you're in the shower singing your favorite song & *INSERT SPOTLIGHT* the best idea you ever had comes into your head, you think I'll remember that later! but the second you reach for the towel --- the thought is gone & you're right back into the grind of the to-do list. Sound familiar? Me too! BUT what if you were in a group setting, with other folks just like you, go-getters, dreamers -- & you were able to narrow in on those shower ideas, get creative & then take action? Sounds like fun, no?!
That's what I thought, this is the exact reason I brought Rachel Voelkle-Kuhlmann Founder of Joy Brick on the show for us. She's going to share her story of how one small yes to going to an event led her to get creative in her own life & how she now helps badass unstoppable people like you & me get real clear on the amazing shower ideas & actually put them into tangible action plans.
Dare to Be More Creative - that's our goal - let's get into the show!

In the midst of chaos the only thing we can control is what we focus on.
Life hell, it's crazy right now .. for us all. Today I'm talking to you about what the ladies & I that were on the Faces of Change panel talked about right before we got on stage. How the hell do we make it through the challenging times that's can be in your job but more importantly in your life. If you're like me, work - life - activities it all starts to mesh into one. If I'm catching myself in that dark downward spiral, I'm gonna catch you too! Let's work together on the good things we can do to focus on the solutions & not manifest anymore negative nonsense!
We're about to wrap up season 2, shoot me a DM with any topics you want us to touch on in Season 3!

Another powerhouse story coming to you! Elki Camacho is the Principal Founder of Elki Consulting Group. Like so many of our guests Elki had a crazy successful past career, this all up until her body sent out some real caution signs that were flashing right in her face, "make a change now". Where most would ignore the signs because of career demands, Elki leaned in and listened. She took a leap of faith on herself, used all her past experiences and has now created a company where she is helping women owned business build the kind of companies that can live on, a legacy in which they can leave to their daughters.
You can find Elki on LinkedIn & her website

Today's guest Terri Wade is teaching us the exact wording we need to be repeating to ourselves in order to marry some high frequency into our reality.
What the heck does that even mean Coll? Terri is a Spiritual Business Coach & before you run to skip this episode, give it a try. Terri practices are taught by some of the best in the mindset game; Abraham Hicks, Bob Proctor etc.

Happy Birthday to The Try & Stop Me Podcast!
365 days of hella highs & hella lows, I'm sharing with you my 5 biggest takeaways from day 1 to today:
1. It’s ok to wake up & realize you’re outgrowing who you’ve been.
2. The real work is within.
3. Believing that something will happen for you needs consistency too
4. You’re not afraid of failing, youre afraid of letting other people see you fail.
5. Life has a weird way working out
Hope you love todays episode as much as I loved sharing all I've learned. Here's to another 365 days around the sun together again.

There is a common trend in some incredible successful women these days, they tend to start in one industry - build some serious life skills & then are able to pivot into a totally different unrelated field that they never thought they'd end up in.
Today's guest Tara Faquir Co-Founder of Trustate sits down with us to tell us all about her journey from her widely successful, exciting retail life at Nordstrom & Rent The Runway which led to a huge pivot into a little non-profit called Girl Scouts & landed her right to where she is at today - running a remarkably untouched industry with her best friend whom she met during a college transition.
Tara, like all of our guests defines unstoppable. She knows her strength & more importantly when it's time to pivot to her next challenge. Listen along as she shares her journey & teaches us how although we may not see it now but our skills are incredibly transferrable if we just took some time to look harder into our day to days.

Have you ever been somewhere & witnessed a speaker on a stage or in a room who just absolutely captivated it. It's like as they talked they just floated across the stage and their words, girrlll you could just shut your eyes and be right in the room they were describing - you could even smell the freakin cookies the said were baking in the background. And then you blink and they are off the stage and some new boring person is up next & you think to yourself - "how the heck did they just do that?!"
Minna Taylor is THAT - she is a Speaker, Confidence Coach, Expert Story Teller & Founder at Energize Your Voice.
When Minna is on stage or in the front of the room - this woman just takes you with her on her story. Her secret weapons, the power of confidence, voice & story telling.

We all get taught at a young age, make a plan for your life and follow that plan until you accomplish your goal right. Heck we talk about that here...
But what do you do when life happens right smack in the middle of that journey? Where is that clear path in life when you're facing an unexpected injury that you have no control over when or if it heals?
Chelsea Whalley Partner & COO of J Donovan Financial had just that, her vision was set, she knew exactly where she was going in life. On her way to becoming a doctor, mid season into her college softball career when a freak accident happened during warm ups. In that moment whether she knew it or not, her whole life was about to be completely redirected as the injury she faced was about to bring her far bigger challenges and a totally different path in life.
Listen along as she shares her inspiring journey, the struggles through healing and how she was able to find the strength & alignment back within herself and her life regardless of how life tried to knock her off course.
"I will never question again whether I have the strength to go through something hard." - Chelsea Whalley @benefitsboss
The human brain has 48 thoughts per minute 70,000 thoughts PER day
That means we have a hell of a lot more conversations with ourselves than we do anyone else.
We get a thought, we internally have a quick dialogue, do the thing or don’t do the thing -- our body shoots off a feeling and we either pounce or back away from it.
So going after a goal or a dream or just simply making a tough decision often feels like push & pull.
Well how you’ve interacted with yourself in the past, the experiences you’ve seen, the words you’ve heard all of this starts to play a role into how you form into an adult. And one by one those experiences start to dictate how your life pans out because your believing and listening to old traits & habits.
Today’s solo time I want you to challenge yourself to push past some of those 70,000 thoughts and narrate your future. Pick 3 traits you want to work towards becoming for your future self.
Me I’m shooting to be: Enthusiastic, Valuable and Present
Share with me yours @collblum. Let’s grow together!
"Take the next step or choose to let it cripple you." The wise words from the incredibly impactful man himself, Lester Morales is our next guest.
Lester is no newbie to the game of a go-getter. After many years as a super successful sales leader, he took a good look around and knew there was a bigger impact to be made in his industry & more importantly his life. With the help of wise words from his mom and a strong belief in himself, he chose to take the leap of faith and opened the doors of Next Impact, LLC.
What happened would be enough to knock many others of course, still after major hits he has proven to never back down and is as successful as ever running a now 7 figure business he gets to call his own.
Lester's journey is a true definition that you don't get to choose the cards you're dealt on the journey in life, what you do get to choose is how you move forward to make an impact from that.
