Episode 50 - How to call out your own BS and make quantum leaps

20m · Your soulful brand · 04 Jul 05:00

Do you aim for perfectionism in everything you do in your biz? Maybe you don't recognise it as perfectionism. You may feel justified in delaying your launch. You may feel the hours (and hours) of research into the best podcast mic, or the best website hosting platform is a good investment of your time.

Your first step is to recognise this. Often delay, procrastination and excuses of any kind are driven by perfectionism. A desire to do it the best. To be the best. A fear of making a mistake.

Having high standards is great. To a point. If it keeps you from moving your biz forwards....if it keeps your message stuck in your head....if you aren't out there serving your community, then it's time to  bring an awareness to it.  Then? Move through the messy middle and own the imperfect actions.

I walk you through how perfectionism can show up in your biz and how to break free from this.

By the time you have finished listening, you’ll discover:

  • How perfectionism can show up in your biz.
  • How to move through perfectionism to share your message.

Episode 56- Don't let this one thing hold you back.

There is something which may hold you back from sharing your message. You not be aware of it. This is why I wanted to bring it to the pod. The online world can be harsh, in many ways. People waiting to trip one another up for any minor mistake. This is why I want to reflect on why mistakes along the way are inevitable. I talk about why they are not a big deal when you look at the bigger picture. And why you can choose to embrace mistakes so you can do the work you're here to do.

What you'll learn:

  • Why the fear of mistakes may be holding you back from sharing your message.
  • A real talk perspective on mistakes.
  • How you can move forward in sharing your message to embrace your business as a human-run business.
  • How failure to make mistakes can hold your business back from growing and hiring team members.
  • How you can own your mistakes from a place of power and align with your values.

Episode 55 - Does this label hold you back?

You may feel that dread in the pit of your stomach when you come to share your message publicly. My daughter calls it the fizzy tummy. You know the drill.

Being seen in your biz can bring up all of the things. 

Why do so many of us feel this way? Observe kids. They love to dance, sing and cavort around with wild abandon. So, what goes wrong as we move into adulthood?

This gets to the root of why so many of us feel we don't have a voice. Little wonder, really.

In today's show I talk about a label which I hear used *all of the time* to describe children. This label, when used consistently, then sticks. It becomes an identity. The result is it impacts how you show up in the world. Maybe it has defined you, too?

Tune in to find out what label this is and how you now have a choice to redefine who you are. It's time to stand in your power.


By the time you have finished listening, you’ll discover:

  • How labels given to us in childhood can become the voice in our heads that define our identity as an adult.
  • How you can reclaim your power and cast off any labels given to you. You can then share your message from a place of inner strength.

Episode 54 - How to avoid building your brand on your own

Do you ever feel alone as you build your brand? Or, you launch something. The excitement builds. Then? It falls flat.

There is another way..... you can build community AS you go. If you stay true to the whole 'build it and they will come' mantra, you miss the journey that is available to you, and your community, on the way to becoming. 


In this week's show, I discuss how I launched this podcast WITH a pod team. If you were part of this, thank you for being part of it. It made the whole thing such a vibe. 

And I'm about to launch the next thing in my brand in the same way. 

 

By the time you have finished listening, you’ll discover:

  • The option that is available to you to invite your community along with you as you create and birth things in your brand.
  • The benefits of having a community with you in this way, for them and you.
  • An exciting invite for you to be part of the next thing in my biz.

It can feel a lot. I get it. You don't want to get it wrong. The perfectionist in you is coming out to play. Meet her where she is. And then?  Choose again. Choose to put your offering out into the world even though it's not perfectly perfect.

Episode 52 - How to unlock your uniquely you factor in your brand

The wellness and holistic space may lead you on a path of always seeking the next level of you. A thirst for something that you may never satisfy. This feeling of always searching can come through in your messaging and energy.

A search for the best logo, the perfect brand photos, the expertly crafted elevator pitch. The result? You never get your message out there to the world. Or you start to put it out there in a way which lacks the potency that is available to you.

What you'll learn:

- How to stop seeking what is already here. It's time to start to identify the uniquely you factor that is already here
- A better way to use your energy in creative mode, rather than in a state of lack and deficiency.
- How to build a brand being you.
