I HAVE SO MUCH TO OFFER :: and never talk about it. 🧐
I’m studying a really interesting book titled How Women Rise. It was recommended by friend and CEO of The Success League, Kristen Hayer, discussing habits that keep successful women stuck. One of these habits is not speaking up about our accomplishments.
As I read that chapter, I related to every single scenario: I wanted to be a “team player”, “showcase the good of the group”, “not be too boastful”. The list goes on.
After some self-reflection work on the subject, I recognized rather quickly that I rarely speak up about the richness of my life-skills toolbox or my the vastness of my business experience and acumen.
Why is that? It’s one thing to be humble, it’s another to be hidden.
I realized that I felt discord with self-promotion. It felt forced, gimmicky, and. inauthentic. Cheesy. Lame. I could see right through it. I struggled to find a way to marry authenticity with promotion so I did the next best thing: avoid it. 🤷🏻♀️
When I was asked to commit to a singular offering, I felt “contained” and limited. My toolbox has so many tools in it why just focus on one? So, I did the next best thing: committed to none. 🤦🏻♀️
Good news. 🎉 I got over it. I realized I don’t have to follow anyone’s formula but my own.
As you have all witnessed, I walk to the beat of my own drum. I designed a dream life that many may never have the courage to try and I actually LIVE it versus dream about it. I am curious and creative which allows me to continue to expand and refine. Why would I hide that?
Life is all about the stories we tell and the experiences we carry and I have quite a few to share.
So today I will talk about. 😊
This week and next week I will talk about it. 😊
It’s less about “what I do” and more about “how I live”.
In America, we tend to lead with the qualifying question of “what do you do?” This is a damaging question.
What you “do” is not necessarily reflective of what you embody. Embodiment and alignment go hand-in-hand. These components lead to happiness. True, authentic, happiness. Can you feel that? Really feel into that.
As we continue to witness our lives change and observe external circumstances occur, it forces us to pause and get clear on our priorities and one of these is joy.
What brings you joy?
So, how can I support your journey in this moment? What would be helpful to you?
