Affs & Laughs

So often we're told not to sound cocky - for fear of being seen as arrogant, or not humble. But doesn't that mess with us after a while? What if we practiced being confident out loud...not after we'd already done something perfectly...but before we were sure we could do it? :) For more Rose Up visit roseupwards.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/affsandlaughs/support

Soft skills don't make you weak or more inferior at work - they ENHANCE YOUR TALENTS! Time to get acknowledged, promoted, and paid for what makes you uniquely you. You've done a lot of work on your personal development and built up your EQ - own what that means for you and the work you do. Let's change the system from within. P.S.

The concept of **playing big** can sometimes feel really scary and out of reach. Like it's only available for celebrities or people seeking fame. IT'S NOT. It can literally just mean NOT playing small any more. Not letting yourself, others, or even your past life hold you back. What if you had no agenda other than to just untether yourself from what holds you back? See what possibilities can occur? No destination in mind. Just knowing you're no longer available for being held back. YOU GOT THIS! P.S.

Today you're in for something different. A quick riff, a quick little reminder about what self love is really doing in our lives. We get so caught up in what we think self love is and what's it's for, that we lose sight of what it's doing for us at a very, base line. Enjoy and come back to this on days when it all feels a little silly. It's okay. XO, Rose Up --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/affsandlaughs/support

Let's take the mystery and faux mastery out your growth journey. You get to decide what personal development concepts, hacks, and tips work for you. You get to collect all of what serves you into a beautiful recipe. Your recipe. It is up to you to decide what makes it in, what serves. Take all the good advice, themes, and more. Leave the rest. Be your own guru. P.S. Woman Up Details here --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/affsandlaughs/support

Taking breaks from self help can be a good thing. You can still grow without pushing, forcing, and exhausting yourself with inner work. Sometimes the answer is that you need support. Other times the answer is that you need a break. You're allowed to take time to integrate what you've learned. To go out and "skin you knees." Don't follow what's not working. Take a beat. Reassess. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/affsandlaughs/support

SUPPORT SQUAD...ASSEMBLE!!! All great women have an amazing team behind them. Who do you need in your corner?

You're the main character in your own story, and you deserve a team to take you further. Onward & upwards! P.S.

Do you resist guidance? Do you reject feeling guided in any way (especially spiritually guided) because it feels like either A) all guidance is dangerous OR B) you don't know how to do it right? News flash: there's space between hyper independence and goddess vibes. Let's dig in (and not take it all so seriously!). P.S.

"Normalizing organizing" ...say that 5 times fast - ha! Organizing your life/home/business/work is not just for neat freaks and influencers. It is caring about your future self - finding grace for who you really are as a person…and setting yourself up for future success. Go. Be. Liberated!!! P.S.

Listen - it is so much easier to sh*t on mindfulness (and all personal development work) than it is to do it. Don't forget that empowering yourself and allowing joy in your life = strength. Cynicism doesn't actually get you that far - and it certainly doesn't create a life you love. Listen this week as we talk about why it's actually really "cool" to be positive. (in a very non-toxic way of course!) P.S. Link here for Woman Up details! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/affsandlaughs/support

You deserve what's coming to you. Karma is probably real, so why wouldn't it be coming back around. You deserve what's coming to you...based on who you've been as a person...which means?? (dun dun dunnnnn) ...You deserve love, kindness, joy and more...because your heart is good. You've learned from your mistakes and did your best to move forward. You've done your best - and as we've covered in other episodes - you are not too much AND you're doing a great job. Enjoy the fruits of your love & goodness. Personal New Year Event Details HERE!

You are doing a great job!! Don't believe me? Maybe you've been rejecting external affirmations - emotional support and encouragement from others. Perhaps you try to convince people you aren't even that great...ugh. How does that serve you? Propel you forward? How does that keep you behind? Time to allow in external affirmations...and hey, great news...they're free ; ) --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/affsandlaughs/support

You know that the minute you go “home for the holidays” the triggers are comingggg. Beyond very serious family issues & abuse, there are also many other triggers that impact us during The Holidays. And Hollywood makes light of all this - the zaney-ness of family disfunction is shown over & over again in holiday movies. But in real life, when the holiday ends and the season is over, we're left picking up the pieces as we try to acclimate back to our regular lives. This holiday, empower yourself by starting off centered...and enjoy the holiday season again! Fa la la la la, la la la...la.

Don't yuck all over someone else's yum - what lights people up doesn't need your judgment. If it's not harming anyone, let people live! Your feelings are valid. Other's feelings are valid. Let's be open to learning with compassion and curiosity and widen our horizons along the way.

You've been taking everything so seriously that you make it an extra full time job. Part of it is because you want to be taken seriously. (News flash - you are). Part of it is that we put a lot of extra weight on women. (Yeesh). But you can take yourself seriously - your growth and life & standing up for yourself - without being SERIOUS. Now go out there and be excited in public...I dare you. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/affsandlaughs/support

Give me a break. No literally. Treat yourself like a little baby angel. You have been through a lot. You go through so much in a day, in a week. Make sure you take some time out for self love that extends to self KINDNESS. Take a break from personal development. It might be what you need. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/affsandlaughs/support

Don't confuse desiring personal growth with perfectionism. It's wildly different. Growth mindset is a privilege. One that that allows you to be open to being inspired (instead of pushing hard on yourself), dream wider, and welcome freedom into your life.

Are you guilty of being a "GD"? (…a gratification delayer???) Do you hold joy hostage until it's more "convenient" for you? Procrastinate positive vibes until you think you deserve it. Screw that.

They say check on your strong friend, but what if it's you? Check in on yourself, bestie. You're likely too hard on yourself - treat yourself to some self compassion and try speaking to yourself like you would to a friend. Gentle. Loving. Silly. Kind.

Finding a support system can feel real freaking hard as an adult....but we're making it wayyyy too complicated. Over time, we are often isolated through no fault of our own - we've been told we were weird, too much, different, or maybe we were even manipulated into feeling alone. But you're not alone. You are guided and supported for you are and who you are becoming. Are you ready to let others in? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/affsandlaughs/support

Fall..autumn...spooky szn...it's got many of us feeling like we're entering a new season of life. Looking around you (aka externally) to see if you're on the right track?
