184. Stop People Pleasing

Every time you try to prove yourself to someone else, you’re giving your POWER away. And most of the time, you don’t even realize you’re doing it. You start a new job and feel like you have to prove you’re capable. You step into a leadership role and worry about whether people trust you. You hold back from speaking up because you don’t want to look stupid. You say what you think people want to hear instead of showing up as YOU. THAT is people pleasing. And it’s exhausting. Because you’re spending so much energy trying to control what other people think about you instead of trusting yourself. You can do EVERYTHING to earn someone’s approval, and they still might not give it to you. Your confidence cannot depend on someone else’s opinion of you. In Ep. 184: Stop People Pleasing, I’m walking you through 4 simple steps to get out of proving energy and take your power BACK. You’ll learn how to show up authentically, stop giving other people’s opinions so much power, recognize your own strengths, and generate confidence and self-trust from within. Imagine walking into a new job, a new role, or a challenging situation and knowing… I trust myself. I can handle the pressure. I will figure it out. Not because everyone believes in you. Because YOU believe in you. That’s the kind of confidence that allows you to play bigger, lead stronger, and stop wasting your time and energy trying to prove yourself. If you’re tired of overthinking what everyone else thinks about you, GO LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE NOW. And if you’re ready to stop people pleasing and start creating your own confidence, book a consult below. Let’s get you out of proving energy and back into your POWER.

183: Replay of Confidence Without Time & Experience

This is a replay of most listened to episode. One of the most common questions I coach people through is: How do I show up confidently in something I've never done before when I don't have the time or experience yet? In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a real coaching session and show you exactly how I help someone build confidence before they have the evidence. You'll hear how we move from self doubt to a clear plan, how confidence is created ahead of time, and what it's really like to have a coach helping you navigate uncertainty. You no longer have to struggle alone. Having a coach can help you get out of spinning and overwhelm, create a clear plan, and move forward with clarity instead of staying stuck. If you've ever felt held back by inexperience, this episode will change the way you think. It's also a glimpse inside The Shift, where we build confidence, create momentum, and learn how to show up as our highest selves both at work and at home.

181. When You’re Overwhelmed

Being Overwhelmed is not a problem. It’s our cue to know it’s time to tap into more capability. As a doer and overachiever, we will constantly be feeling the need to do this as we stretch, learn, and grow. This will continually be asked of us, so when we can start to think of our capability as infinite versus hitting a ceiling, that’s how things can start to become easier and more doable. On this episode, I walk you through 3 simple steps to tap into more capability and why these steps will help you expand yourself during hard moments. When you can learn to do this, then you’ll realize how much CONTROL you have over your life, especially when hard things are thrown your way. You will always feel like you have POWER over them versus them having power of you. When you feel empowered then you realize YOU can make the change to FEEL better, versus waiting for things to get easier or for others to change. This is life changing to have this much control over your life and happiness. If you are ready to grow your capability and confidence to handle the hard and have control over your life again, book a consult for 1:1 Coaching. On this call, we talk about where you are at, where you want to be, create a plan, and see if Life Coaching is a good fit for you. Stop waiting for life to change, start empowering yourself to take back control of it. I’ll help you do just that. Book a 1:1 Consult Here

180. The Power of a Managed Mind

I’m seeing a lot of my clients and people struggling with hard things in their life and I am watching them want to pull back, instead of leaning in powerfully. I watch a lot of them pull back and wait to finish going through the hard, instead of leaning into the hard powerfully. I believe if we can learn to do this, this is the moment when we can make the most impact in our lives and world. This is where we learn to grow our capability to handle the hard and become the person who shows up powerfully to their own life. Because, life will always be hard, so WHO do we have to become to always be able to navigate it. This is where I believe having a managed mind can change your life. In this episode, I talk about the 3 simple steps to Manage your Mind, especially through hard moments AND the results being able to do this can give you. One result includes becoming the person who no longer has to hustle or overwork for growth and who learns to go for really big goals because you can be in flow and momentum longer. You have more control over your life. You LEAD your life. Listen into this powerful episode on Apple Podcast or Spotify, or click on bio now.
