This episode is for everyone who wants to level up in every area of their life this year. I'll go over the seven non-negotiable things that you need to incorporate into your life to become the most dangerous and amazing version of yourself. Making these non-negotiables a part of your life will make leveling up inevitable.

There's a lot of talk on social media about being “that girl,” which often relates to a skincare routine or external appearance. In our community, we aim to not only look good but also to be strong in our mindset and possess emotional intelligence. As Dangerous Women, we represent the whole package. I'm going to discuss how to take the thoughts and ideas around being “that girl” externally and merge them with the elements necessary to be a Dangerous Woman.

Episode Highlights:

• [02:25] 1. Start incorporating a morning routine. Customize your routine to your life and where you are.
• [03:17] Slow down long enough to wake up and pray or meditate or journal. Have some quiet time to check in with yourself.
• [04:19] Get into the consistent habit of starting your morning more slowly.
• [05:10] 2. Move your body in some way. You don't have to take class or buy equipment, just move your body in a way that's fun for you.
• [06:23] 3. I want you to take the time, preferably, as part of your routine to journal.
• [07:02] Start making journaling and writing out your thoughts a part of your life.
• [07:43] Spend time asking yourself what's going on with you and how are you feeling.
• [08:02] 4. Eat in a way that nourishes your body and helps you with your goals to be healthy and strong.
• [10:04] You might need to prepare meals in advance, so you don't just grab whatever's available when you get super hungry. Do an evaluation of how you can nourish your body in better ways.
• [10:53] 5. Have a schedule. This is what you do 99% of the time on rotation. Following a regular schedule will change your life.
• [12:49] 6. Get a hobby that challenges you and forces you into discomfort. That puts you at a beginner level and requires you to think in a new way.
• [15:32] 7. Understand your money. Look at your money no matter how much or how little you have. Know what your numbers are.
• [16:27] We need to learn how to handle our money in a way that benefits us and our families.
• [18:14] Focus on these things and make them non-negotiables in your life.

If you've been struggling with your self-confidence lately, this episode is for you. This week, we're focusing on building self-confidence through our inner dialogue. By examining how we talk to ourselves, we can foster a more confident, resilient, and growth-oriented mindset, leading to an improved self-image.

In this episode, we'll explore several practical tips that you can apply today to boost your self-confidence. Remember, confident individuals are formidable. Even in moments of doubt, they know how to regain their confidence.

Don't underestimate the power of positive self-talk and the profound impact it can have on your life. Each step you take towards nurturing your self-confidence is a step towards unlocking your full potential

Episode Highlights:

• [03:25] 1. Start practicing positive affirmations. I don't mean fake it till you make it. Begin your day believing the words that you are saying in your affirmations.
• [04:13] Begin and end your day with these affirmations.
• [04:37] Think about what you wish was true about you. Take this thought and create "but" statements that will become your affirmations.
• [05:53] An example would be: "I feel like I'm not quite capable, but I'm taking a class and studying, so I feel like I know what I'm doing."
• [05:57] Combine how you currently feel, add a "but" statement, customize it, and take the action.
• [07:45] 2. The second thing I want you to pay attention to is challenging negative thoughts.
• [08:02] When you catch yourself engaging in negative thoughts, start challenging that inner mean girl. Ask if it's true and if you still want it to be true. Look for holes that you can poke in those negative thoughts.
• [09:00] 3. Using visualization. Daydreaming is an important skill. Start seeing yourself in the different areas of your life being successful. Use your self-dialogue for your good.
• [10:02] 4. Focus on growth and not perfection. Perfection is a way to protect ourselves from discomfort. Focus on things that help you grow, not be perfect.
• [12:48] 5. Surround yourself with positivity. Not just your inner self-dialogue but also the people around you.
• [13:11] Have a go-to friend that really pours into you.
• [13:34] If you're feeling stuck, look at who you spend the most time with.
• [14:19] 6. Practice gratitude and celebrate.
• [16:27] 7. Embrace self-compassion. We have such a tendency to be angry with ourselves when we're not where we believe we should be. Practice having the same kindness and understanding for yourself that you would offer to a friend.
• [17:39] Instead of beating yourself up for something, you can say "You're so cute."

Are you finding it harder to keep in touch with friends between the demands of work, family, and the daily grind? Do you reminisce about the days when friendships flourished with ease, wondering where the time for those meaningful connections has gone? If so, you're in the right place.

In this episode, we're not just acknowledging the struggle; we're tackling it head-on. We'll explore practical strategies for nurturing friendships that withstand the pressures of adult responsibilities. Because let's face it, as we navigate the complexities of maturity, career paths, and personal life, the balancing act never seems to end. Yet, amidst this chaos, the value of true friendship remains constant.

Episode Highlights: 

• [01:43] Having friends is a tremendous part of having that 10 out of 10 dream life.
• [02:08] How do we maintain friendships when adult duties monopolize all of our time?
• [03:37] How do you prioritize communicating regularly and defining what regularly means for your friendship?
• [04:37] Make the effort. Everyone is busy. Put it on your calendar and don't flake out.
• [05:30] Plan an in-person meetup.
• [07:54] Get a group of friends together and start planning your next gathering. Consider the quality of time you spend together.
• [08:26] Make sure there's a safe space for open and honest communication. 
• [10:31] Your willingness and their willingness to adjust roles will help maintain your friendships. Be mindful of what's going on in each other's life as you shift through life stages.
• [11:32] You need to be willing to modify the time and frequency of communication without it altering your commitment to the friendship.
• [12:07] Reciprocate efforts. Everyone has responsibilities. Don't leave the responsibility of maintaining the friendship on one person.
• [14:10] Foster the relationships that are there for you and celebrate the small things. Also, be present for the hard times. The best friendships stand the test of time and the ups and downs of life.

Have you tried everything possible and still find yourself not where you want to be? In this discussion, I'll address how to determine whether you're being too hard on yourself or too lenient. Generally, people fall into two categories: those who are overly critical of themselves and those who don't realize they are too lenient.

I'll cover several key points, including recognizing the right moments to engage, finding a balanced approach, and providing tips for self-assessment to help you understand whether you're being too easy or too hard on yourself. 

I approach the topics of procrastination and perfectionism, explaining how these behaviors can hinder progress. Finally, I'll discuss the issue of limited time and the importance of evaluating whether your goals truly align with your desires

Episode Highlights: 

• [01:42] We want to be in the middle of the two extremes of being too hard or too lenient on yourself.
• [02:03] Finding middle ground will be very important when trying to establish anything new in your life.
• [02:16] A talk for those who are being too easy on themselves. Self diagnosis includes asking if you are always making excuses, procrastinating, or constantly switching the plan or the goal.
• [03:41] Commonly used reasons for not moving.
• [04:25] Procrastination and perfectionism will keep you stuck.
• [08:07] The flip side of being too easy on yourself is being too hard on yourself. You are using perfectionism like a hammer.
• [10:27] For every reason you have to not progress and go further, ask yourself if this is really true. 
• [11:15] We need to know how we spend our time, because our brains will validate not having time.
• [12:53] Make sure you're very clear about what your goal is.
• [14:37] Set goals that give you early wins so you don't get discouraged and quit.
• [15:27] Create a routine that you follow and make it non-negotiable.
• [17:08] There will be bumps on the road, your goal is to continue becoming the woman who makes the changes and reaches the goal.
• [17:58] The power of accountability is imperative in reaching your goals. A good coach will see your blind spots. 
• [19:20] Join the Dangerous Woman Society!

If you need a quick push to get into action and create an amazing year, this episode is for you. This week, I'm doing a rapid-fire talk about why you could be in mediocrity and how to start taking action to get out of it. This is a wake-up call, so that you don’t settle into this year like you did last year. 

If you aren't paying attention and taking intentional action, this year will look exactly like last year. We’ve talked about this dozens of times in our community, but there’s never a time it doesn’t need to be revisited. If you’re living below your version of your best life, you are officially living in mediocrity. Let’s make this year different. 

This podcast revolves around what we'll be working on in our first session of the Dangerous Woman Society on January 23rd. If you would like to join, it's $99 a month for monthly group coaching sessions, monthly lessons, accountability, and a community that's going through the same things you are. 

Episode Highlights: 

• [02:02] If you're living a life that is below your version of your best life, you are officially in mediocrity.
• [02:36] How you may have gotten to this place. It could be a lack of awareness.
• [03:09] If you never take a look at where you are or think about what you want, you'll never even consider making changes in your life.
• [03:15] Rate your life on a scale of 1-10 in relationships, career, business, money, and health.
• [04:05] 2024 is a perfect time to revisit your ratings and see where you are.
• [04:51] Other reasons you could feel stuck are an attachment to your comfort zone and an unwillingness to leave it.
• [05:14] Unclear goals or waiting for support from others could also be in issue.
• [06:02] What would you do if you didn't feel fear or any other negative feelings?
• [06:35] Your homework is to evaluate your life in health, relationships, money, career or business, and identify the Gap from where you are and where you want to be. Ask yourself the reason why you aren't where you want to be.
• [06:57] Make a commitment to being a woman who takes intentional action with the knowledge of what has been holding you back.
• [07:23] This is what we'll be working on in the first session of the Dangerous Woman Society on January 23rd.
• [07:33] Joining the Dangerous Woman Society will give you a community that makes you feel less alone. You'll see women in the same spot that you are and those that aren't even there yet.
• [08:03] There will be people that you can Inspire and people that you will be inspired by.
• [08:59] You are not mediocre. You may not be there yet, but being in progress is important. That is this work.

Do you ever struggle with achieving your biggest dreams or goals? Using the art of delusion might be the key to your success. I explain what this means and give steps to take an honest look at your life and the emotions that come up. No more pushing down and repressing those emotions. No more responding immediately without taking a step back. 

The next step is up to you. You have a choice in how you’ll look at the situation. It might not be as bad as you think and you can use the art of delusion to look at things in a different light. Believing that things will get better can be life changing and that’s our goal for 2024.

This is the work that we are doing in the Dangerous Woman Society, a monthly membership community that will create a nurturing and uplifting atmosphere, fostering support and encouragement.

You'll get group coaching and lessons. You can ask questions and personalize the experience. You'll also get access to a powerful community of women who are just like you. All for $99 per month, with the flexibility to cancel anytime. 

Episode Highlights: 

• [01:35] The art of delusion is when you believe that things will be okay and get better even when they aren't going according to plan. 
• [02:08]  As challenges and struggles arise in your life, look at them for exactly what they are. Be real, raw, and honest about what's going on in your situation.
• [03:00] The only reason you wouldn't face the reality of what it would be if you couldn't handle the emotions that come with it.
• [03:06] This year we are going to focus on learning to handle the emotions that come with being a human being and having a human life experience. This is the year we learn how to do life better.
• [03:43] Challenges are here to teach us and help us to grow.
• [04:37] Give yourself permission to feel the emotions that do come up when you look at things as they are.
• [05:25] Look at the situation from an honest place. Feel whatever comes up. Now you have a choice. You can look at the situation from whatever angle comes up.
• [06:45] It's not delusional to look at things in a better light. It's faith. 
• [06:54] Faith is believing in something that isn't as if it already was.
• [08:24] Thinking that things are changing for the better makes a complete difference in your life.
• [10:03] This year I want you to know yourself at the deepest and most intimate level.
• [11:12] Take what you feel and connect it to what you believe. 
• [12:32] Have an anchor where you can create your own "but" statement to stop the descent into overwhelm or discouragement.
• [13:33] Look at things how they are and choose to believe that there are better days ahead.

It's a new year, and I hope you're feeling excited, optimistic, and ready for growth and learning. This episode focuses on redefining kindness, especially in relationships. We'll explore how to overcome the fear of hurting people's feelings, empowering you to make better decisions and confidently follow your own path.

Starting this January, the Dangerous Woman Society is opening its doors. Perfect for those who've been working independently, it offers an enhanced experience with monthly group coaching, challenges, and accountability. Featuring on-demand classes on specific topics, it's ideal for newcomers to coaching looking to dive deeper. 

Priced at $99 per month, with the flexibility to cancel anytime. The community will create a nurturing and uplifting atmosphere, fostering support and encouragement among members.

Episode Highlights: 

• [02:57] Most of us are certified good girls who don't like to hurt people's feelings.
• [04:15] Many of us think it would be cruel and hurtful to tell someone how we really feel. We don't want to upset the other person or have them think we're being mean.
• [05:03] Many of us believe that not hurting other people's feelings is kindness. The problem with this thought process is that we're not responsible for other people's feelings.
• [05:47] If someone feels love, it's because they're having loving thoughts about another person.
• [06:11] You must release yourself from the responsibility of making anyone feel anything whether it's good or bad.
• [06:42] It's not kind to not be transparent or truthful in your relationships for fear of hurting someone's feelings.
• [07:39] Begin to associate complete honesty with kindness. Associate clarity with kindness. Ambiguity is not kindness.
• [10:00] Making decisions based on the feelings of someone else will leave you angry and discouraged in the relationship. The most kind thing you can do in any relationship is offer honesty.
• [11:09] Free yourself from the thought that it's cruel or unkind to be honest.

Do you ever struggle with knowing when and how to ask for help? If so, this episode is for you. We're talking about how to avoid the trap of superwoman syndrome and managing everything independently. This is the 2024 Mindset Makeover Part 2. 

Even when busy during the holidays, you likely still have thoughts and dreams for the upcoming year. We are going to talk about how to turn those dreams into reality. We've previously discussed the mindset steps. 

Today, we’re focusing on the critically important execution phase. I'll discuss when and whether to seek help after completing the mindset work and formulating a plan of action.

Episode Highlights: 

• [03:00] Define what matters most to you and clarify your priorities. 
• [04:02] What is your zone of genius?
• [05:07] Will the time you save getting support from someone else outweigh the cost of doing it yourself? Identify the benefits.
• [07:22] Will doing it yourself and learning a new skill set really matter to you?
• [08:57] The tricky part about deciding whether you should ask for help or not is where you're avoiding the discomfort of a task and just letting someone else do it. Or even if you think if someone else does it it'll be an immediate success.
• [09:41] I want you to be able to distinguish and catch when you are trying to avoid growth.
• [14:06] When I signed up for a coaching program, the relief I felt should have been a red flag for me when I thought of not having to do something that is essential for my business.
• [14:52] I wanted the program to do the heavy lifting and relieve me from the discomfort of doing what I needed to do.
• [16:11] I want you to be aware of how easy it is to fall prey to taking the easy way out.
• [17:00] Knowingly choosing discomfort isn't easy. You need to be mindful of how your brain will try to escape from any discomfort.
• [17:12] Examples of when it's good to ask for help include working with a financial planner, a certified trainer, hiring a housekeeper, or ordering groceries.
• [18:35] A life coach can see your blind spots and point them out to you in a way that your friends and family aren't going to.
• [19:52]  As a business owner, you need to learn how to deal with the rejection before hiring someone to do the sales and follow up for you.
• [20:21] Knowing when to ask for help is vital. It's important to know your motives behind asking for help.
