Crushing with Abby O

I went from an in demand fully booked out for 3+ months lash artist to a newbie in a new city where no one knew me and no one cared.

If you’re going through the “what the fuck” challenges of business or big life moves, this episode is for you.

One of my favorite topics: Boundaries. Boundaries help you filter out what’s draining you of your precious time and energy so you can take care of what you need to in your life and biz including your health!As a concept, this was foreign to me for a long time. I see and hear from women and clients that they struggle with boundaries in different areas, too. You aren’t alone!In this intro to boundaries chat, I share:Why boundaries are so useful for reclaiming your time and energy!How the nervous system, brain and past experience play a role in how we feel about setting boundariesWhat I believe plays a huge role in women feeling uncomfortable with boundaries (i.e. being brought up as people pleasers)The “I got that” push through mentality that keeps many women exhaustedHow to assess where you could set boundaries + questions to journal on and let simmerExamples of how to implement your boundariesAlso check out the book “Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself” by Nedra Glover Tawwab to expand your knowledge and comfort with boundaries.

(Part 1 of 2) Becoming a Self Care CEO and creating wellness routines you'll stick to starts with defining your goals and the activities that will help you reach them! Broad, vague goals tend to just hang in the air and are easy to give up on. I want you to get really clear on what exactly your goal is and what it encompasses so you can take intentional action. You’ll also hear:What I hear most commonly from women as to why they aren’t reaching their goalsThe misconception around time and healthy habitsGetting uncomfortable & putting in conscious effortThen grab a pen and paper or open up your Notes app because we’re going to outline your wellness goals and the activities.

Time to crush your goals! Paige Mitchell joins me for an insightful conversation about setting goals and how a coach can help you explore what steps to take to achieve your goals.Paige’s story is a great example of coming full circle. She knew early on that she wanted to create an impact in other’s lives, but when motivational speaker wasn’t a major in college she went for psychology. She eventually transitioned from a career in counseling to life coaching in 2020 and has a genuine passion for helping ambitious individuals achieve their dreams of impact. She provides a look at what a life coach is and how coaching can help provide that outside bird’s eye view perspective and guidance.Then we chat about the term “vague goals”. What are vague goals? How can we avoid setting them and get really clear about what it is we want to accomplish? Tune in. She gives you some great takeaways. She also share two tips for helping you overcome overwhelm when it comes to big goals and self talk. I also get Paige to share about her passions outside of coaching! It’s important to have an outlet even when you love your career. Paige is a Board Certified Life Coach on a mission to help you craft a lifestyle that support your values. She works with badass goal-getters reach their most ambitious dreams so that they can live a fulfilling life and make a difference in the world in their own unique way. As a former counselor, she decided to switch careers and start her own coaching business in 2020. Now, she teaches others how to become the best versions of themselves in their everyday life.Paige earned her Masters in Counseling and has over 10 years experience in the mental health field. Her strong background in clinical psychology over the years has helped her make the switch from therapist to coach as she implements strategies that help people become more accountable and start taking action now, no matter how small.  Connect with Paige:Website: www.paigemitchell.coach Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Tik Tok  PodcastResources:Learn More: The Radical Self Care Method Learn More: The Elevated Health & Lifestyle MembershipJoin the FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox:  Sugar DetoxSign Up for the Weekly Newsletter and receive my free Love Your Body Guide If you enjoy this podcast and know your friends and family would as well, please go ahead and hit the subscribe button and share this podcast!Connect with me on Instagram at @coachabbyo or email in at coachabbyosullivan@gmail.comCheck out the full show notes at www.abbyo.com.
