Work Hard Mom Hard

Brittany Brown is the Founder of Beating Binge Eating, a safe haven where thousands of women have transformed their relationship with themselves, their bodies, and food, so they are free to share their gifts with the world. After turning her own struggles with weight and binge- and emotional-eating around, Brittany set out on a mission to create a world where women have their own worth, have it easy with food, and walk through the world fueled up by freedom, bliss, and joy, in a body they feel confident. 

She believes that when women feel at peace with themselves and at home in their body, anything is possible, and the ripple effect is unstoppable. With her passion and 12+ years of training, schooling, and experience, Brittany now has the honor of leading over 100,000 Food Freedom Fighters internationally to live a life they love instead of living as a slave to diet, weight, and food struggles as a Speaker, Influencer, and Master Coach.

I used to be the girl who would have one too many tequilas at a party and tell all my friends to quit their jobs and follow their dreams. I would map the whole trajectory of their business and tell them how amazing they would be. Naturally, they would just laugh at me and then tell me I was crazy. But I loved my naivety and willingness to dream.

Now after having been an “entrepreneur” for four years and have practiced what I preach, I’m singing a different tune.

That doesn’t mean I think you shouldn’t quit your day job, but I do believe there are some fundamental things you should focus on before you do. And in this episode, I dive into them!

Highlights for this mindset:

1:25 - The truth of the Instagram quote cards

3:49 - How I got lucky when I started as a coach

5:21 - You should not burn the ships and quit your job.

7:34 - What I would have done if I could do it again.

8:05 - Two things to do now to prepare to take your side hustle full-time

10:56 - Why it's better to build your dreams on anticipation

14:04 - Okay, but how will I know when it's time to really quit?

Mandy Sciacchitano is a certified life coach and speaker who specializes in helping over-giving, service-driven women avoid burnout and love themselves and others better through boundaries, worthiness and personal power work.

After years of struggling with social anxiety and perfectionism due to deeply rooted insecurities, she is passionate about seeing other women step out of fear and shame and discover and embody their power to use their gifts to serve others in a way that is deeply self-honoring and self-nourishing.  

Adopting the mantra “get out of your head and into your body,” Mandy believes that our perfectionism, lack of confidence, and obsession with achievement as a society is because we are disconnected from our souls and intuitions. She uses tools like breathwork, meditation, journaling, cacao, and mindful movement to eliminate patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and not feeling good enough and help women come home to themselves and live their most vibrant, confident lives.

This is a magical conversation where Mandy provides numerous tips and actionable advice to discover your values, beat the comparison game, and come back to your identity and intuition.

Highlights of our conversation:

3:53 - What Mandy learned between who you are and who you want to be

11:39 - The magic of boundaries

15:41 - Why you should trust and surrender to your intuition

18:37 - The connection between radical acceptance and shame

21:31 - Comparison can have beneficial outcomes

23:42 - How Mandy defeats her ego

28:19 - Boundaries are different than walls - and necessary

33:22 - How do you start drawing your own boundaries?

37:22 - The top 3 boundaries to start with

47:40 - Actionable steps to finding your identity

54:30 - Feeling good is the way, not the destination.

56:49 - The work we are meant to be doing is this...

I come to you from my business retreat with Amber Lilyestrom in beautiful Portsmouth, New Hampshire (get to the Sea Coast!). On this Mindset Monday, I discuss how you can live life fuller, bigger, and in a more sacred way by embracing both your Brilliance AND your BS. By embracing both parts of your life, you can dive deeper into the three-dimensional space of seeing humans at a more intimate level, knowing their dreams and being able to breathe life into their dreams and your own. As Amber Lilyestrom says, “If the dream is in you, it is for you.”

Highlights for the mindset:

0:44 - The value of coaching, mentors, and deep clarity

2:15 - You are not allowed to cry or show vulnerability

3:54 - The golden thread that goes through BS and Brilliance

6:31 - The fear of being "other than"

7:24 - Give yourself permission to do what you can, right now

9:58 - The #1 step to bring Brilliance into your life
