How to be a Dangerous Woman

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. Links and Resources: Watch The Breakthrough on AIB Network Dangerous Woman Society Get A Free One-On-One Session Before Jan. 23rd Ready to chat about 1:1 coaching?

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. Links and Resources: Watch The Breakthrough on AIB Network Ready to chat about 1:1 coaching?

Are you struggling with being perceived as 'too nice' when you want to be seen as a strong leader? This interview with Fran Hauser is a must-listen. Fran, the author of The Myth of the Nice Girl, brings a wealth of experience as a media executive, advocate for women and girls, and an investor in over 30 female-led companies. She's a best-selling author, speaker, and a truly wise and genuine person.  She frequents conferences and organizations, empowering women to build fulfilling careers without compromising their authenticity. Our discussion dives into crucial topics such as overcoming the urge to please everyone, increasing self-awareness, and self-advocacy. Fran's insights shine a light on how to maintain our true selves, stay kind, and emerge as respected leaders.   Episode Highlights:  [02:06] Being nice has been helpful to Fran's career. She could negotiate with real win-win outcomes. She was able to show empathy, build relationships, and deep connections. [04:07] She also had young women coming to her and asking how she could be so nice yet successful. [04:53] Fran became more comfortable with who she was and was able to list how being nice helped her business. [05:30] Once she became more established, people stopped saying she was too nice.  [06:16] There are more corporate cultures that encourage employees to show up in a way that's aligned with their values. There's more diversity, and there's a huge difference in corporate culture today. [07:13] Fran shares how she tried to get away from the nice girl image early in her career. She took bad advice and went over someone's head to get something done, and it damaged her relationship with this person. [08:43] It felt awful to hurt her feelings. That's when I learned that I really messed up, and I'm not going to try to be a person that I'm not. [09:30] As a leader, you can set the tone and work in an environment of respect even if you don't agree. It's more difficult when you're a team member and not the leader. [12:06] People pleasing is having no boundaries and saying yes to everything. Check in with yourself and ask if you're saying yes because this is aligned with your priorities. Am I saying yes, because I feel bad saying no? It's an important distinction. [14:45] Advocating for yourself doesn't mean that you're not a nice person. You can ask for more money or to be put on that high-profile project.  [15:43] People-pleasing can show up in many different ways. Fran shares an experience from her early career where she learned the importance of self-awareness and learning from her mistakes. [17:59] Is being a nice girl a superpower? Being kind, empathetic, and warm enables you to connect more deeply and build stronger relationships. [18:43] You need to set boundaries and not let people walk all over you or take advantage of you. [20:27] The importance of getting feedback from trusted friends.  [21:56] Fran's head and heart are with helping aspiring authors get their books out.  [24:08] You deserve to have a great week. Be clear on what really matters to you. Where do you want to spend your time? What are your priorities? How can you set healthy boundaries around those? [25:18] We have control over our time, energy, to-do list, and to-don't list. Links and Resources: Watch The Breakthrough on AIB Network Ready to chat about 1:1 coaching?

Are you gearing up to make 2024 your most successful year yet? Then this podcast is tailor-made for you. Join me as I guide you through the essential steps to mentally and physically gear up for an outstanding new year. Whether 2023 was a year of challenges or a year where your expectations weren't fully met, this fresh start is your opportunity to shine. Perhaps you're reflecting on your 2023 successes, wondering how to surpass them, or you might feel you fell short of your goals. In either case, we'll navigate these feelings and strategize to set you up for unparalleled success. Welcome to Part 1 of our two-part series, where we'll focus on cultivating a winning mindset to kickstart your journey. Episode Highlights:  [02:53] It's time to take this mindset information in and put it into practice. Take action. [03:30] Evaluate your year. Ask yourself the following questions. 1. How am I different now than I was in January? Think about the positives and the negatives. How have the positive changes impacted your life?  [04:08] 2. How have I stayed the same? How has this helped or hindered me? [04:35] After answering these questions, ask yourself where you believe that you have the most work to do. [07:03] I've noticed that there were times where I just coasted in my business. I looked at the tangible outcomes and my business and clients have increased, but I didn't hit all of my goals. [09:00] Know when and where you need to push and where you need to pause. This is important as you decide how you want 2024 to look. [10:25] Have a picture of what you want the year to look like before you go out and set your big goals. Envision what you want your everyday life to be like. [11:08] Everything is determined by how you answer the question of what you want your life to look like. [12:44] Allow yourself to dream and listen to the information that comes up in your mind.  [13:25] When you capture all the thoughts about your dreams, your unconscious limitations will come up. Challenge these thoughts and fight for the opposite. [15:33] Fight for the possibilities as opposed to fighting for the limitations. [18:06] Practice catching your limiting thoughts and ignoring other people's possible limiting thoughts. [19:52] After you've tackled what you want your life to look like and the limiting thoughts, then it's time to work on the how. [20:40] Really take time and spend it on these two steps and next week we will tackle the action stage. Links and Resources: Watch The Breakthrough on AIB Network Ready to chat about 1:1 coaching?

If this year and this season have been really hard for you, this episode is for you. Today, I'm talking about what to do when everything doesn't feel okay. It's almost the end of 2023, a year that has been challenging for me personally and in my business. I know that many of you have also been dealing with grief, anger, sadness, and even hopelessness.   It's time for all of us to collectively learn how to get through tough times and come out stronger on the other side. Challenges and struggles are normal, and so are the feelings they evoke. I'll share how to work through your emotions and feelings without reacting negatively.   Episode Highlights: [02:00] You are allowed to feel whatever you feel. [03:15] Release the need to compare struggles or edit and correct the feelings you are having. [04:07] Most people allow themselves to respond from negative emotions as if there was no other choice. [05:31] You'll start seeing a big shift when you decide to no longer be a puppet to your emotions. [05:54] Look at the circumstances that make you feel like things aren't okay. Get out all of the thoughts. These are real and valid feelings. [06:50] It's okay to not be okay all of the time. We want to feel, acknowledge, and process, but not respond. [08:19] Talk about the worst-case scenario and what would happen if things got worse. Feel the feelings of what this would mean if it really happened. [09:04] The light at the end of the tunnel is that by facing your fear, it no longer has a grip on you. [09:27] What would you do if your worst-case scenario became a reality? [11:08] After facing the negative emotions, what is your next step? [13:35] Commit to riding the emotional roller coaster. [14:06] If you don't feel okay right now, that's okay. [14:51] Find small pockets of joy and peace and write those moments down.   Links and Resources: Watch The Breakthrough on AIB Network Ready to chat about 1:1 coaching?

As the year progresses, the pace quickens with a flurry of responsibilities, demands, invitations, and, inevitably, guilt. That's precisely why I felt it was important to revisit my previously published Episode 9, which delves into the crucial topic of setting boundaries. In this episode, I guide you through the process of establishing healthy boundaries—a practice that not only improves your interactions with others but also nurtures a more loving relationship with yourself. I'll address the common pitfalls of setting boundaries incorrectly, such as using them to exert control in a relationship or failing to maintain the established limits. I explain how poorly set boundaries can detrimentally impact your relationships. Then, I show how appropriately set boundaries can promote love, connection, and intimacy, enriching your interactions with others as well as with yourself. You will receive a three-step process for creating healthy boundaries and actionable steps that you can put into practice starting today. Episode Highlights:  [01:37] Boundaries are the rules we set for ourselves in relationships. They are a form of protection for a personal, mental, and physical space. [02:06] Boundaries make it clear what you will and will not tolerate in your life. Setting boundaries correctly helps create more intimacy and connection. [02:44] If you set up a boundary trying to control a person's behavior, you are setting up an ultimatum. This is like withholding affection until they do what you want them to do. This is an example of a poorly set boundary. [04:14] Handing over how you feel to another person is a sign of personal weakness. [04:20] Another problematic behavior is not upholding your boundary when violated. [04:45] Not following through with the consequences of your boundaries makes them a request. This can be an issue for people who are people pleasers. They might think that they are being unkind or cruel by following through with the consequences of their boundaries. [05:14] When people violate the boundaries you present to them, you become resentful and feel disrespected because you think they shouldn't do that. [06:44] Resentment by not enforcing boundaries or not having your boundaries expected reduces the opportunity for a genuine loving relationship. [07:02] The most significant damage of not setting boundaries correctly is the damage that it does to you. You're robbing yourself of control. [08:57] I want to teach you how to set boundaries so that you can create healthy relationships with other people and yourself. [09:11] #1 You need to communicate clearly what your boundary is. #2 Clearly communicate what you will do if the boundary is violated. The consequence of a boundary always states what you will do if the other person doesn't honor the boundary. [11:24] Allow the other person to decide how they will behave moving forward. You're not controlling their behavior. They have the free will to continue doing the behavior, and you have the free will to follow through with the consequences. #3 Follow through. [12:50] Setting boundaries the correct way with the intention of honoring both you and the other person is the most loving, honest, and genuine thing you can do in any relationship. [13:49] Write down the name of the person you've been thinking about this entire episode. Then write down three reasons why that person would benefit from a boundary set from a place of love. Write down one boundary you will set with this person and what you will do if that boundary is violated.

I'm so excited to have my friend and coach, Kristina Knapp, back on the show. In last week's episode, I mentioned my new show, 'The Breakthrough,' which premieres on October 30th. Kristina is featured in the pilot episode. I connected with Kristina, and we discussed the show, her experience, and her breakthroughs. Kristina is very confident. However, being confident enough to learn and present a dance performance was a challenge she chose to work through. We talk about the challenges that arise from last-minute changes. We also share some behind-the-scenes experiences and discuss what having a true breakthrough feels like. Episode Highlights:  [02:21] We talk about why Kristina said yes to being on the show.  [04:30] Kristina always wanted to sing and dance. She loves watching dance videos. Dancing is cool. She wanted that confidence that was connected to her body.  [07:10] Kristina is confident in most aspects of her life. She struggled with serious performance. [09:21] Kristina was going to learn salsa and give a performance. The instructor/partner canceled at the very last minute.  [11:29] We learn how Kristina felt when her dance was changed from Salsa to Hip Hop, and her male instructor is now a female.  [14:00] Did I want to hide or really show up as my highest self and go for it? Kristina wanted it to be the best day of her life.  [15:17] Kristina had to learn a dance in 45 minutes.  [16:01] Kristina shares her reaction when she met her new dance instructor. [17:35] There were hundreds of people and a few surprises thrown in.  [18:42] This was a very challenging opportunity for her to stay in her power.  [19:07]  After she was done, it was no big deal. Which is an accurate description of how it feels after you face your fears. [19:20] Fear is now a green flag for Kristina.  [20:01] She's now being pitched for a show. She's writing a book, and launching a podcast. Feeling the fear means you better go for it. [22:26] She also discovered a huge appreciation for her body.

As some of you know, I'm working on a television show. Today, I'm going to share this experience as a guide to help you in building the life and legacy that you want for yourself. The show is called Breakthrough, and it's about breaking through old patterns of thought that have been holding people back. Next week, you'll get to hear from my friend Kristina Knapp who has been a guest on the show before and is featured in the pilot episode.  Being part of this show has been an amazing experience for me. I'm excited to share the breakthrough that Kristina experienced. She had always wanted to learn to dance, but beliefs were holding her back. The exciting part is that her breakthrough was about so much more than learning to dance. This week, I'm going to share with you how this opportunity came about and the power of being present.  Episode Highlights:  [01:25] I'm going to be hosting a show called Breakthrough on a station that's available on Amazon and YouTube. The show is about people breaking through old thought patterns in order to achieve something that they've always wanted to achieve. [01:48] In the first season, we have a woman who always wanted to learn to dance, a woman who always wanted to be an actress, a woman who has been afraid to learn to cook, and a gentleman who always wanted to learn to play the piano. [02:09] In each episode, you can watch them overcome all of the thoughts and obstacles that have prevented them from doing what they actually wanted to do. [03:46] Getting what you want includes focusing on mindset and being, becoming, and showing up. [04:16] I didn't ask to host a TV show, it quite literally fell in my lap. [04:54] I received an email from my website contact form. It was a producer who wanted me to speak with her about hosting a life coaching show she was developing.  [05:27] I was skeptical, but I did some research and responded. [06:02] She had been looking for someone to host the show and found my Instagram. She found me because I was there. [07:13] Is there an area of your life where you are beginning to question what the point is? [09:13] I was approached to do a series for the Calm app from a woman who found me on LinkedIn. This came to me because I was present. I was being and becoming. [10:39] It's not about you. Putting use to your gifts with pure intention is when success comes. It comes without chasing it. [11:20] Homework: Know what your gift is. Write it down. Find ways to use your gift.  [12:45] Figure out how to show up brightly. You were not created as a dim light. [13:28] Think of one thing that you can do to make a difference and watch and see how clients and businesses appear. Links and Resources: Ready to chat about 1:1 coaching?

It's the time of year when things start moving fast. If you are someone who didn't hit your yearly goals, this episode is for you. I'm diving into what to do when you're not going to hit your annual goals. It's time to take a look at where you're at in relation to your goal. Examine the process, but don't judge.  I talk about focusing on the things that you have control over and looking at whether you still have a chance to achieve that goal. If it's still possible, make a revised list of what you need to do and who you need to be to make it happen. I also walk you through what to do if you know you're not going to be able to reach your goal this year and how to shift into action and solution mode.  Episode Highlights:  [01:11] We are less than 90 days away from 2024. [02:00] Look at the distance between your goal and where you are now. What did you want to accomplish and complete? Examine the gold process and you. [04:12]  When you think about the goal that you haven't yet reached, what thoughts come up about you? Make note of whatever comes up. Write it down. [04:52] Include the things that you have control over. [05:22] Is there a fighting chance that you might still actually be able to achieve that goal? [06:26] If you see a clear path, take your list of what went wrong and turn it into a list of what you should be doing now. [07:12] If there is no clear path, settle in your mind that the goal won't be reached. [08:14] If you won't reach your goal this year, ask, now what?  [08:29] Shift your focus off of all of the feelings of sadness, anger, or disappointment to propel you into action and solution mode. [09:00] After asking, now what, it's time to revise your action plan. You're not changing the goal, you're just changing the timeline. [10:14] Look at your why during the examination process and make sure you are still in alignment with this particular goal. [12:28] Spend some time working through these questions and examine your goal and yourself.

This community provides support, connection, and collaboration for working mothers, advisors, executives, founders, builders, and makers.  Being an entrepreneur has always been very important to Amri. She had a very business and success-driven mindset until she began having health issues. At the beginning of 2020, she began having symptoms and feeling unwell. Amri and her family had recently moved, and finding any doctor to see her was almost impossible.  She had always been healthy, but struggled with the healthcare system as she struggled for answers. After a lot of effort and trial and error, she received a diagnosis a year later, and this is where the healthcare struggle really began. Amri shares how a diagnosis and battle with colon cancer changed her priorities and the way she thinks about what truly matters.  Episode Highlights:  [01:51] Amri was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2020. [02:01] Prior to her diagnosis, she was completely in an entrepreneurial mindset. She also had a lot of anxiety and fear. [03:46] She spent 10 months during the pandemic being misdiagnosed and being told nothing was wrong.

It didn't really compute that something could be wrong with her.  [05:08] Amri shares her struggles with getting medical care at the beginning of the Pandemic. She was concerned about her productivity and didn't realize she might have a real issue.  [07:43] Once she got in to see her old doctor, he couldn't find anything wrong with her. She found another doctor and the same thing happened, but he did suggest a colonoscopy. [08:17] Amri shares her struggles of navigating the US healthcare system when she's not feeling 100%. [09:36] Amri shares how she felt when she finally received her diagnosis of colon cancer a year later. [10:15] The news was a total shock. Colon cancer wasn't for her. She was completely frozen. She was overwhelmed with all of the decisions that she had to make. [12:42] Amri had to reframe what she was doing depending on how she was feeling. She then had to break the news of her diagnosis with her kids. She had chemo and radiation in 2021. She just had surgery at the beginning of the year.  [15:06] We learn about the impact on her family and team.  [18:41] Amri shares some of the things that weren't helpful from her friends and family during treatment.  [19:36] We learn how she was able to maintain balance and work.

She wants to raise awareness and share her story and resources.  [25:45] She used to define herself as an accomplished entrepreneur. Now she is defined by her own purpose. [26:21] Focusing on the small things will bring us joy and happiness. Having small special moments with your children will create a deeper relationship with them. Paying attention to the small things make sure a more thoughtful and supportive partner. [28:07] Amri is excited about starting a podcast about moms with cancer.

Do you ever feel like things aren't going right and nothing is working? If so, stick around for my five-step process on how to move forward when it seems like everything is falling apart. Let's conquer those struggles of frustration or hopelessness.   Instead of being overwhelmed, follow along as we tackle things like avoidance and how to acknowledge what the problem may be. It's time to make a conscious choice to respond like a dangerous woman. Let's work together to regain momentum and take control of what's going on in our lives.  Episode Highlights:  [01:53] Some people avoid acknowledging reality and what isn't working in their lives. They distract themselves by being hyper-focused on another area of their lives.  [02:34] There are also unhealthy ways to distract ourselves like alcohol or unhealthy relationships. [03:37] When you feel like things aren't working. Define what the problem is and what exactly isn't working.  [04:24] List what isn't working and take the time to find the what and why.  [05:57] It's time to shift into determination and not accept that this is just how it is. [06:31] Create a list of exactly what things would look like if they were working.  [07:33] You know what isn't working. You know why, and you know what things would look like if it were working.  [07:43] The next step is to know who you need to be in order to create a scenario where things are working. What do you need to think? How do you need to show up? [08:58] The woman who figures things out is the one who runs directly into it and figures out how to get out of it. The "who" is the most important part when life serves up trouble. [10:38] Embrace your thoughts, and be the woman who pushes through and finds what's working.  [11:27] Don't fake it until you make it. Add "but" to the “it's not working” thought. Carry these thoughts as you take intentional action. Don't leave your thought alone without the "but". [13:20] 5 step recap. 1. Identify exactly what isn't working. 2. Identify why it's not working. 3. Identify what it would look like if it were working. 4. Go back to who you say you are. (Check Dangerous Woman Manifesto) 5. Lay out the how and the steps to get where you want to be.

This is the second episode of The Dangerous Woman Interview Series and it's all about building generational wealth. Generational wealth is homes, businesses, or savings—that are handed down from one generation to the next.  This can give the younger generation a financial boost, helping them to pursue opportunities without starting from zero. Lack of generational wealth can widen existing socio-economic gaps, because not everyone has the same starting point. It's time for Dangerous Women to close the generational wealth gap. My guest Sarah Miskelly from HYLEE Capital is here to share how we can earn passive income through real estate investing without being a landlord.  Episode Highlights:  [01:49] Sarah has been involved in real estate since she was a kid. Her dad had rental properties, and she spent a lot of time growing up working on those properties. [02:15] After college she became involved in marketing. Then she moved into real estate sales. She was not only a top salesperson, but she built her own real estate portfolio in Canada, the US, and Belize. [03:09] She was driven and making a lot of money, but the lifestyle wasn't the type of lifestyle she wanted. [03:29] She went 10x into real estate investing and now she's involved in multifamily real estate investing. [03:45] Sarah breaks down what it was like to be successful in a male-dominated industry. [04:30] Commercial real estate is very male oriented and an old boys club. This has made Sarah even more passionate about getting women involved in commercial real estate investing. [05:13] Sarah shares the biggest misconception when it comes to real estate investing. Lack of confidence and not feeling like you have the knowledge or the ability is really the biggest roadblock. [06:00] Sarah breaks down how to get started as a new investor in real estate. First thing we need to know is your numbers. Then we need to pick a strategy. [08:02] HYLEE Capital works with women of high net worth. What if we don't have as much money? There are definitely ways to get into real estate with smaller amounts of capital. It's important to get into the market at some level. [08:52] You can find cash flow positive investments in less expensive states.  [10:32] Passive income is so beneficial. There's a lot of innovative models where things are more collaborative. [12:10] Working with Sarah can be simple. Apartment buildings have a lot of growth. You can invest capital and invest in deals as an equity partner. You'll get cash flow and a share of profits.  [13:42] Start allocating a portion of your income for investing. Look at your options and the available deals that align with your goals. What you're looking for will expand. You can also join Sarah's investment community. Education is really critical.  [15:15] If you're ready to invest, hop on a one-on-one call with Sarah's group.  [16:21] Joining the investment community is the best way to get your foot in the door and start having deals sent to you. [17:30] Sarah talks about The Passive Real Estate Summit that she is hosting and you can sign up for. [18:48] Sarah's future dreams include a 50 million dollar net worth and donating a million dollars to charity. [19:49] Advice includes believing in yourself and having the confidence to do it!

It's easy to get annoyed. It can bother us. It can build up and make us more and more upset. It's annoying just to think about being someone who gets annoyed. I'm going to share a three-step system that will help us stop and realize what's happening so that we can change our thoughts, feelings, and expectations in order to escape from the annoyance trap.  I share a story about one of my clients who was getting annoyed with her co-workers. I share how she changed the way that she looked at things and how she was able to control how she would show up and not other people's behavior. If you are easily annoyed, this episode will give you tools to deal with feelings of annoyance.   Episode Highlights:  [05:40] Annoyance happens to all of us, not just the Virgos. [06:10] Being easily annoyed bothers me, so I don't want to walk around claiming it. [06:34] Emotions aren't inherently bad or good, it's how we choose to respond to them. [07:12] The reason we get annoyed is because we think things should be different than they are in reality. We're holding the world up to our own personal standards, and we get annoyed when it falls short of that. [07:35] When we realize that the reason we're annoyed is because we think people are annoying and stupid is the moment we take our control and power back. [07:55] This realization will get us out of the endless loop of thoughts that keep us annoyed. [08:06] There's no escape when we spend all of our mental energy batting around how we think things should be in our minds. [08:21] Step two is to interrupt the loop when we realize what is actually happening.  [08:47] Step three is where we add how we're going to respond in a way that makes us feel proud of who we are.  [09:02] You get to make a conscious decision and be intentional about how you show up. [10:40] My client took her control back and took ownership of why she felt a certain way, so she could show up as the leader she wanted to be.  [11:13] Getting out of annoyance helps you to set healthy clear boundaries. You don't have to allow others to behave any certain kind of way around you. Getting out of annoyance has more to do with you than the other person. [12:13] When you're annoyed, the way you respond to others will likely do more harm than good. [15:00] You can sit in annoyance and respond to it, or you can learn how to shift your way out of it. This work is for you to respond better. Take ownership, don't assign it to something outside of yourself.

My friend Charlene Keys Bowen is my first guest in the How To Be A Dangerous Woman Interview Series. I'll be talking every other week with a woman who is doing amazing things in her field and making change in her industry. I couldn't imagine a better guest than my friend and mentor Charlene. She's the principal author and visionary behind The Women We Watched book series.  She's the founder of DreamBee Foundation with a mission to stop child abuse and neglect by promoting resilient families and advocating for policies and practices that strengthen economic support for families. Charlene is the owner of Ascend Studios Luxury Salon Suites and a United States Air Force Veteran.  She also spent 25 years in the telecommunications industry and was recognized as one of the most powerful women in cable and one of the most influential minorities in cable. She left to follow her passion to inspire communities to eradicate child abuse and neglect. She's also manifesting her lifelong desire for entrepreneurship. I've always been inspired by Charlene's story, and I'm thrilled to share it with you.  Episode Highlights:  [03:02] Charlene shares why she was on a mission to eradicate child abuse. She wants to inspire a generation to stop child abuse before it starts.  [06:04] Krystal shares a story where Charlene gracefully shut down a know-it-all who was talking over everyone in their MBA group.   [07:12] Charlene talks about her mom and her incredible confidence. She nurtured everything she could in Charlene. She nurtured self-awareness and self-confidence. She is the inspiration for Charlene's book series The Women We Watched.  [09:10] Charlene's father also played an important role in her confidence and development. He solidified her quiet confidence.  [12:41] We learn how being impacted by someone's story is what created the shift in Charlene's life.  [13:59] DreamBee Foundation is her total commitment for good.  [15:31] It required faith to create her foundation. She just kept moving. She was named woman to watch in the cable industry, and she gave a speech about her mom. She then decided to write the book. Charlene trusts the direction of her life.  [18:05] When she needs to clear her head, Charlene will take a drive. We have to be okay when others don't see our vision.

Welcome to Season 2. I hope you had a great summer and took some time to exhale. I'm so excited to continue on this journey of growth and self-awareness with you. Today, we are talking about graceful transitions and the challenges that arise with change and different life seasons.  We talk about acknowledging your emotions and writing down best and worst-case scenarios. We cover focusing on best-case actions while still allowing your emotions to come like a wave and allowing yourself to grieve during times of change. Make a decision to move through it and don't weigh yourself down with guilt.   Episode Highlights:  [01:44] I've had some significant changes happen over the summer. I even sent my oldest child off to college. [02:13] There's no right way to go through a major transition. The goal is to thrive and grow through the experience. [02:56] When we start to experience change we are either filled with questions or fear. This is normal. Instead of panicking, lean into it and accept it. [03:55] Our brains seem to gravitate towards the worst-case scenario. Even though it seems counterintuitive, allow your brain the space to go there. [04:40] What would you do if the worst-case scenario happened? What would you do if the best-case scenario happened? [06:09] Life isn't perfect. Humans experience it. If we're wise, we learn and grow from it. The way that you think about life change will drive the way that you feel about it. [06:38] The actions I take when thinking about the worst-case scenario are not going to give me the results that I want. [07:12] If you try to choose the best of what could happen, you'll be able to make the best case when the bumps in the road come along. [07:27] Think about the best and worst case and then make a conscious choice to focus on the best.  [07:52] Graceful means that you continue and you don't stop. We often want to skip to the good part where we feel better. All of our emotions are necessary. [08:59] Allow yourself to experience your emotions like a wave. [09:40] When change happens, there needs to be an allowance for a period of grieving. [11:08] We don't have to add guilt into the mix by thinking we are wrong for feeling our emotions. [12:16] I share a client story where she wracked herself with tremendous guilt. Keep in mind that our choices don't negate our feelings. [14:12] I want you to know that it's okay to feel whatever you feel about your life changes.

[14:24] Beginning to craft your dangerous woman style and owning it. Who do you want to be? When you show up as your authentic self, you are already that person. Hair, makeup, and clothes will follow. [16:13] Being a dangerous woman is a state of mind.

Jenna Hermans is a Certified High-Performance Coach with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Organizational Management. With over 15 years of experience in HR and having run a preschool for over 5 years, she specializes in helping families and individuals create systems to find joy in their lives and build pleasure back into their world. Jenna's focus is on helping clients own their calm, find lost energy, and do what they love without suffering or losing sleep. She is also the author of the recently published book, Chaos to Calm, which is a guide for busy parents to streamline their tasks, create more time, and reduce stress. The book covers topics such as efficiency, habits, communication, community, and self-care, and provides simple tasks and how-to guides to help parents lower the frenetic pace of daily life. Using examples from a variety of parents and her own life, Hermans demonstrates that anyone can take control of their busy lives and embrace what really matters while achieving and maintaining calm. We dive into how Jenna defines chaos. She shares her own story of having panic attacks and losing her structured routine. We talk about tools she used to come out of this. We talk about communication and active listening. We learn about how Jenna time blocks her calendar based on energy flows and puts in transitional buffers to own her time. She shares about the "your turn" elements in her book. Jenna wants readers to know that they can achieve any goal, big or small, and to be the role model they wish they would have had.  Episode Highlights:  [02:24] Jenna has been working on Chaos to Calm for about four years. It feels amazing to finally have it out into the world. [03:40] Chaos to Calm is for everyone, not just parents. Her inspiration was that this is the book she needed.  [05:36] Jenna defines chaos as the swirl of things that make us feel out of control and overwhelmed. [06:29] Jenna shares a story about a day when she was having panic attacks and reacting to everything around her. Everything fell apart when she lost her structured routine. On this particular day, she knew something needed to change. [09:19] On this day, she had to remind herself that she had the tools and the education, and the experience to come out of this. [10:25] After implementing the tools in her belt, people started asking what she was doing. She began writing down everything she was implementing.  [12:10] One of the biggest intangibles was being better about how she communicated. [12:39] Active listening is one of the things that really helped Jenna improve her life. It's also a chapter in her book. Listening is a huge part of building relationships and trust with the person that we're trying to communicate with. [14:42] The importance of just being present and listening.  [17:13] Jenna was able to make her calendar airtight and time block based on energy flows and what she needs to accomplish. She also puts in transitional buffers. [18:10] She began owning her time and getting clear on what she needed to do at any moment.  [19:20] The book has your turn elements which asks questions and gives the reader time to reflect. [20:56] Jenna wants her readers to know that they can do any goal big or small.  [21:50] One piece of advice is to be the role model that you wish you would have had. [22:50] Part of being a dangerous woman includes being able to turn chaos into calm. [23:30] The one thing we all have in common when it comes to a sense of calm is that our nervous system is calm.

I'm excited to speak with founder and business owner Lisa Mastela.  She is a registered dietitian who started making smoothies based on her nutritional needs during pregnancy. This led to her founding Bumpin Blends, a company that offers frozen smoothie cubes designed to support health. Some of the things we talk about include the growth of the company and how they earned $15K in three months. We learn about Lisa's love of nutrition and the popularity of her smoothie product.  We also talk about how Lisa's husband was her number-one supporter. Lisa shares a lot of entrepreneurial gems including the importance of growing slowly and focusing on staying profitable. Lisa shares her Shark Tank story and all of the time and prep involved. She also shares the last-minute change that prevented her from making her appearance. Even though, at the time it was a huge disappointment, it worked out in the long run. Lisa shares how there's always another opportunity around the corner. Episode Highlights:  [02:21] Lisa is a registered dietitian. She's also always wanted to start her own business. She had been making smoothies with ingredients based upon how she felt.  [03:48] When she was pregnant, she would make smoothies based on how she felt and what she needed. By the end of her pregnancy, she was known around the neighborhood for her smoothies.  [04:27] Lisa decided to start Bumpin Blends which are frozen smoothie cubes based on functional health. Just pop them in the blender and go. [05:24] She ended up making $15K in 3 months.  [07:23] Lisa talks about how entrepreneurs have to have drive and not be stopped by mistakes and failures.  [08:47] Making a powder would be easy. Lisa decided to make the hardest thing possible, frozen cubes. [09:31] Bumpin Blends has been around for over four years. The quality is what sets them apart.  [11:26] Lisa's husband was always open and supportive of her business. They also focused on growing slowly and staying profitable.  [14:19] Competition is not the way to go. Avoid comparison.  [17:29] Comparison and transparency. Everyone shows their highlights. Sharing is a delicate balance.  [19:57] Lisa shares how she was just about to go on Shark Tank, but couldn't go because of COVID travel restrictions.  [26:16] We learn how rough it was to miss the Shark Tank opportunity for Lisa and the business. It's a six to nine month journey just to put together the pitch and work with the producers.  [26:55] Lesson learned. Even if there's a big opportunity, you still need to keep the lights on.  [31:10] With the entrepreneurial journey, there's lessons and mistakes but there's always another opportunity around the corner. [32:34] Lisa likes being able to control the growth of her company and to be able to spend quality time with her kids. [37:20] Lisa is feeling really good about her future expansion.  [40:27] Advice includes following your gut and your path for your product. You don't have to do what everyone else is doing.  Links and Resources: The Dangerous Woman Mastermind Dr. Krystal Conner Dr. Krystal Conner Instagram How to Be a Dangerous Woman Facebook Group Dangerous Woman Manifesto Bumpin Blends Use Coupon Code DANGEROUS20 Bumpin Blends Instagram

If you're feeling like you're at a crossroads, this is the episode for you. We're going to discuss how to not only reach your next level, but also how to stay there without falling back into old habits and patterns. Sometimes, we need to take a pause in order to move forward.   Making it to the next level can be a surreal and exciting experience, but it can also come with a period of adjustment that many of us fail to acknowledge. I'm going to talk about stabilizing at your new level including grieving and celebrating. It's time to take a breath and honor ourselves for all that we've accomplished and all that we will achieve. Episode Highlights:  [01:37] We all love moving to the next level, but we often miss that period of adjustment that's required when we do finally reach that next level. [01:57] There can be shock and elation when you've finally made it. It can almost seem surreal, especially when you've wanted something for so long. You spent time imagining what it would be like and now you're living it. [02:17] I want you to be aware of all of the feelings that come with this. In particular, notice where your brain slowly and quietly pulls you back or thrusts you forward. [02:51] Out of an effort to keep you safe, your brain will either convince you to move forward or move backwards. [03:07] We rarely take the time to stabilize at our new level. [03:26] Grieving and celebration both play a role in our continued growth and leveling up. [04:20] Take the time to mourn the loss of who you were. Grieve for her. [04:51] Letting her go is part of the process. Without the step, your brain will try to get you back to the perceived normal. [05:20] Write down how parts of you were holding you back and how they are no longer needed. [06:07] With your grieving process, include celebration for who you are now and who you are becoming. [06:27] Hustle mode is moving from one achievement to the next without ever taking a breath or a pause. [07:33] Take the time to honor who you have been, who you are being, and who you are becoming.

Happy New Year! I hope you've all had a wonderful holiday season and are ready to turn it up this year. 2022 is going to be your year! If you listened to the first episode of this podcast, you'll remember that I broke down the four categories of women including the dangerous woman. Each category of woman is struggling in a different area and requires something different to get to the next level. Each week we are going to be working towards becoming dangerous. Today, I'm going to help you figure out exactly where you stand and tell you exactly what you need to be focusing on for the next month. We are going to take 30 days to begin to move to the next level. I know that you want to feel like you're truly thriving in every area of your life. That's why we are going to do some self-diagnosing and break down exactly what you've been doing that isn't working. Then I'll tell you what you need to be focusing on in the next 30 days to move closer to becoming that dangerous woman that you are meant to be.  Episode Highlights:  [02:48] We are all moving towards becoming a dangerous woman. She lives in complete alignment with who she is. She's learned how to set boundaries and overcome people-pleasing. She's built beautiful mutually beneficial relationships. She wakes up in the morning feeling good about herself. [03:38]  A dangerous woman embraces her entire range of emotions. She feels purposeful and does exactly what she dreams about doing in her life. She's confident and bold and knows who she is. [05:00] Don't you want to live in overflowing abundance with a life that's bursting at the seams and makes your heart sing? [06:54] The disconnected woman. This stage is defined by feelings of overwhelm, lack of control, and people pleasing. You want to change, but you feel like there's nothing you can do about it. [10:13] Your willingness to be wrong about yourself is going to be the thing that moves you forward. Challenging and questioning those long-standing beliefs will help you move to the next level.  [10:38] In the next 30 days, start questioning the thoughts you have about yourself. Write out everything you believe to be true about yourself. Ask yourself where is this not true? [11:06] Write out one goal that you want to achieve. The only thing you need to focus on is believing that it's possible. [12:06] The conventional woman. These are your team players. These women are dependable to everyone else but constantly letting themselves down. You're motivated and eager for change, until you actually have to implement the changes.  [13:50] It's not as easy as you thought it would be. One week in and you're already researching plan b. You fall back into being busy and judge yourself harshly. [14:54] Focusing on everything and trying to change everything all at once is doing too much. [15:40] Over the next 30 days, identify a goal that you have been working on and trust yourself enough to choose one path or way to achieve that goal. Commit to moving towards your goal consistently over this one month. Journal about it. [17:04] The motivated woman. This is where most people feel like they want to be. No matter how much she gains or achieves, she can't fill that inner void. She's always in search of something to make her feel complete or whole. [20:29] Things are good, but you're ready for something amazing. You're craving high-level accountability, support, and encouragement.  [21:17] 30-day focus: Find support and begin to take decisive high-level action. Your support can be a coach, therapist, or group. Someone other than you who can call you out and keep you in motion. Establish your very own dream team. Invest in yourself and find someone to support you. [22:59] Decide where you are and focus on the assignment for that level.

Untangling the self-concept of being a "good girl" and why it can hold you back is an important topic that I wanted to share twice. My upcoming book will probably be titled the same as this episode. I'm sharing this episode from last week again because I want you to challenge those long-standing beliefs you may be holding and break free to create that fulfilling and purposeful life you deserve.  I hope you enjoy this encore episode because it's time to stop pleasing others and start making progress toward your own goals. Don't let the “good girl” in you hold you back. It's time to be a little bad, even dangerous! Break those limiting beliefs and take the limits off your dreams. Trust me. It's worth it. Your future you will thank you! Episode Highlights:  [03:22] Part of upgrading and elevating your self-concept includes the undoing of the cultural indoctrination of the good girl. [03:45] I'm writing a book that will probably have the same name as this podcast. One of the things that I discuss is this concept of society's good girl. I'm going to read an excerpt from my intro. [05:07] Think about the dream for your life that you wrote out in your homework. Did you think about how you would be viewed by society, family, and friends? Does your role and position as a woman prevent you from achieving your dream? [07:13] Are you people-pleasing, pushing down your dreams, and creating boundaries? Treading water is expending effort to maintain one's status, but doesn't make much progress towards a goal.  [08:02] It's time to unravel that societal programming that tells us our dreams are only partially possible. [08:25] Look at your dreams and see where the good girl in you is holding you back. [10:40] Look at these thoughts that are holding you back. See them and know that they are optional. [11:03] What would you do if you were a bad girl? What would you do if you were a dangerous woman? [11:52] Go back to your homework and look for those thoughts that tell you why you can't fulfill your dreams. Find those thoughts that are holding you captive. [13:30] Beliefs holding you back whether positive or negative are all under review here. Go back to the scenario in those four areas and take the limits off.  [14:22] If you do this work up front, it makes things so much better when you start creating your dream life.  Links and Resources: Dr. Krystal Conner Dr. Krystal Conner Instagram Dangerous Woman Manifesto Optional Excellence How to Be a Dangerous Woman Facebook Group Episode 35 Accidental Beliefs (Part 1) We Should All Be Millionaires: A Woman's Guide to Earning More, Building Wealth, and Gaining Economic Power

Fake faith is a trap that many of us fall into. It's when we pretend to ourselves and others that we believe in our dreams and goals, even when we don't truly have faith in them. It can be easy to slip into this mindset, especially when we're conditioned to believe that happiness is the only desirable state to be in.  However, pretending to be positive and optimistic when we don't genuinely feel that way is exhausting and counterproductive. Instead, we need to acknowledge our true feelings and work to build up genuine belief in our abilities and aspirations. I'm going to talk about this trap and how not to fall into it by building faith through action toward our goals.  Episode Highlights:  [01:41] The message of the power of positivity is everywhere. When we don't feel positive, there's a level of shame and embarrassment. So we pretend to be positive even though we don't feel that way. This is not only exhausting, it's counterproductive. [02:29] If you don't acknowledge your lack of belief, you will subconsciously be operating against yourself. [03:26] Thinking that you need to believe 100%, 100% of the time is what's keeping you stuck. [04:04] It's okay to have doubts and by acknowledging them you know what's going on in the back of your mind. [05:12] Doubt will creep in, so it's completely normal to fear that you won't be able to make your goals. [05:46] We need to accept our humanness without shame. The key is taking action with awareness. [06:37] Ask yourself these daily questions. Do I believe that this is working? Do I believe that my dream or goal is actually going to happen? If the answer is no, that's okay. [07:21] Ask yourself why you don't believe it's possible. [08:34] What level of belief can you get to? It may only be 5% or 10%. [10:47] Learn to listen from a place of authority. Sometimes you won't feel like doing things, and you don't need to do things at that moment. Sometimes you still need to do them. [12:29] Gently encourage yourself as if you were parenting a child. [13:18] You build faith through action as you take steps towards your goal.

If you're feeling frustrated, because you can't quite reach your goals or make your dreams a reality, this episode is for you. We'll be talking about how toxic dream entitlement may be getting in your way and how to overcome it. Entitlement is defined as the belief that one is inherently deserving of privilege or special treatment.  There's a lot of entitlement in our society today. A lot of it leans towards toxic entitlement. Thinking that we deserve something just because we want it is problematic. I'm going to talk about how toxic entitlement is holding us back and how to move beyond the entitlement trap.  Episode Highlights:  [01:44] We are inundated with messages that say we deserve to have certain things just because we want them. We are inherently worthy, but not entitled.  [03:19] Thinking we deserve something just because we want it puts us in a position of entitlement. Feeling entitled can lead us to just sitting back and waiting. [04:18] Once we feel entitled we start comparing and judging others. This makes it very difficult to see how our thoughts are what are actually getting in the way for us. [04:57] There is a difference between toxic entitlement and having positive self-worth. We are all entitled to basic human decency and expect it. [05:25] Toxic entitlement tells you that you deserve whatever you want without any reasoning behind it. [05:38] The more subtle entitlement is that we are entitled to the motivation to reach our goals. [06:12] We believe the excitement and hype when we first start a goal should stick around, and we're disappointed when it doesn't. . We're not entitled to motivation. We have to learn how to manufacture it. [07:01] You can shift yourself out of toxic entitlement by acknowledging thoughts that keep you bound and stuck. You want to create positive sustainable momentum.  [07:42] Think thoughts that will help you become who you want to be. I'm becoming a successful businesswoman. I'm growing. [08:17] Center your thoughts around the only thing you can control, which is you. [09:26] Use motivation as a bonus emotion to commitment.

If you've ever felt envious towards another person, this episode is for you. This week I'll help you see where your envy may have turned into being a full-blown hater and how to get out of it. When criticism turns to hate it can become envy. There are different types of envy, but the hater envy is usually a form of comparison and comes from a place of lack. I'm going to talk you through this with a recent example in my life, so we can all live in abundance and not from a place of lack.  Episode Highlights:  [01:17] None of us probably want to admit it, but we all get envious or jealous at some point or another. [01:48] Envy occurs when we want something that another person has. Jealousy is when we fear losing a relationship or a valued part of a relationship that we already have. [02:16] Today we're going to talk about how Envy can lead to you being a full-on-hater. A hater is a negative or critical person. [03:03] We're supercritical and form opinions about people without very much information. [06:09] An example of how I went from questioning to being critical to hater envy.  [08:00] Envy only comes when we're in comparison.  [08:32] There are different types of envy like attractiveness envy, confidence envy, or wealth envy.  [09:10] Envy can be hostile, or it can lean more towards admiration.  [10:00] Notice where you think that someone having something precludes you from having that also. This would be having a scarcity mindset.  [13:50] How do you get yourself out of hater envy?  [13:57] When you feel envious, remember that you don't know the background or have the full story. Putting your focus on why someone has something that you don't is a waste of time, especially if you don't know their struggles. [14:47] What I want is my own version of showing up in the world and adding value. I want to test the limits of what is possible for me in my life. [15:02] Don't beat yourself up if you find yourself in hater envy. When you stop focusing on the injustice of it all, you can tap into what is possible for you. [15:37] Take inspiration from what others have achieved.

Do you ever feel that no matter what you do, you just can't find peace? Do you have that feeling of perpetually being stuck? This show is about getting past the thoughts that cause you to feel this way.  I'm going to talk about how to find peace and how to make sure you never lose it again.  I go into why it is so hard to find peace, keep peace, and whether it's even possible to find and keep it. I'm going to give you some quick questions that you can use to uncover the thoughts that are preventing you from having the peaceful life that you want.  Episode Highlights:  [02:25] You may be looking in all of the wrong places for peace. Are you looking for other people or other life situations to bring you peace? [03:11] If everything falls perfectly into place, you might find that peace still isn't there. [04:19] Think about a situation where you just can't find peace. Write down the thoughts you have about that situation.  [04:59] Your belief that it isn't possible for you to have peace in your situation is the main culprit of why you don't have it. [05:22] You can absolutely find peace in any situation that you are in. You just have to be willing to put in the work to do so. [05:54] Peace doesn't mean perfection, it's an acceptance of what is the way that it is. [06:20] Fighting and arguing against what is, will be the thing that prevents you from having peace. [07:02] You won't win fighting against reality. It's not what other people or circumstances need to do. It's your thoughts about what is happening that affect your peace.  [08:10] Looking at the areas in your life that aren't at peace will trace back to a decision that you made. [08:43] You get to decide whether you have peace or not.  [09:34] Create a peace practice that will help you get back into the mindset of peace.  Links and Resources: The Dangerous Woman Masterclass on January 19th The Dangerous Woman Mastermind Dr. Krystal Conner Dr. Krystal Conner Instagram How to Be a Dangerous Woman Facebook Group Dangerous Woman Manifesto From Good Girl to Dangerous Woman

We are talking about girl boss energy gone wrong. I'm going to show you how learning to feel and process your emotions will help you reach your goals faster than ever imagined. I love the idea of being a boss, but as women, we need to be able to embrace our full range of emotions.  If you haven't registered for the Dangerous Woman Masterclass, it's time to pause, drop everything, and register now! You'll learn how to silence negative self-talk, achieve your biggest goals, and create your dream life.  Episode Highlights:  [02:53] A girl boss is a woman who is self-made and acts as her own boss. The issue I have with the movement is the image that usually accompanies a girl boss. Someone being bossy, overpowering, independent, forceful, strong, confident, but almost emotionless.  [03:23] A dangerous woman may be all of these things, but she is also a woman who doesn't ignore her emotions. She's a woman, not a girl, who has feelings.  [05:09] We process what we are feeling. We don't pretend that it doesn't hurt. Dangerous women process their feelings and then help the women around them to do the same. [07:06] We can't outrun our feelings. A girl boss can be trapped in the image that she presents to the world. [08:42] Negative feelings are just as warranted as positive feelings. Leaning into your feelings can change your life.  [09:16] The more you accept and allow negative emotions, the more you expand and allow positive emotions. [11:20] We can't outrun our feelings. Learning how to identify, manage, and process our emotions will change our lives. [11:47] Processing emotions. This is allowing yourself to feel the emotion and choosing to feel it on purpose. [12:57] An example of processing disappointment. First, allow the feeling to be there. Watch and notice.  [15:33] As you watch a notice, your thoughts about the situation will become more clear. [17:21] How can you accept the process with love and grace for other people? Process it and own it. Begin to let it go. [18:18] As time passes, you'll gain more clarity of the circumstance that allowed the initial feeling to begin with.

When we incorporate more rest into our lifestyle, we become more productive and better at achieving our goals, yet it can be difficult for us to rest. I'm going to dive into the how and why of rest resistance and what we can do to become a dangerous and rested woman.   It's time to stop being so busy. It's time to stop that vicious cycle of exhaustion and overwhelm. It's time to discover what our subconscious is really telling us about stopping to rest. Once we know our thoughts, we have to endure the discomfort of taking time out and all that goes with it.  Episode Highlights:  [01:34] Superwoman mentality. Where we believe that we can do it all and be at all for everyone. [02:00] The list of who we are goes on and on, and we want to make sure that we're the best at everything all of the time. This can lead to a vicious cycle of exhaustion and overwhelm. [03:45] Putting our own heart's desires off year after year, prevents us from the fullness of being who we really are. [04:39] Learning how to rest is an important step that we can't avoid. In order to rest, we need to dismantle all of the thoughts that we have about resting versus hustle. [04:54] What are your subconscious thoughts? What do you think about rest? What do you think about women who rest? What would you think about yourself if you were genuinely to rest? [06:47] Once you understand your thoughts about rest and what it means to you, you can redefine it.  [07:28] Burnout isn't the quickest way to reach your goal. Intentionally set aside time to do something for yourself. [08:33] Find something that you enjoy doing that doesn't require you to be or do anything in particular. Practice thinking that rest is the way to achieve even more. [08:57] The more you rest and restore, the more you can do.  [09:13] Your homework for this week is to rest. Do not overcomplicate it.

I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday season celebrating. I hope you gave yourself grace and a lot of mercy and kindness. The holiday season can be stressful and sometimes even sad, but we made it through another year, and it's time to create the best year ever. It's time to make 2023 different in the best way possible. This week we're talking about how sneaky subconscious thoughts can totally derail you from your goals and from living the life you dream about. I share ways to identify and overcome these stumbling blocks and move forward with confidence.  Episode Highlights:  [01:59] We all start the new year with the best intentions. It's time to catch any of those old thought patterns that may be holding us back from our goals and desires. [03:08] I want you to learn how to identify hidden stumbling blocks. [03:37] Our dream life is built upon the goals we set. Achieving your goals is the building block of a dream life. [04:12] This is why I talk about failure being the currency of a life well-lived. The more times you fail the more things you have tried. [05:05] I hit every goal on my board, except the one around money. I became curious about what my brain was thinking about that goal. [06:24] Get curious about what your thoughts are about the goal that you didn't achieve. Journal and write out your thoughts about each goal.  [07:02] Money thoughts from my childhood were holding me back. I had a belief that anything I make is just extra. [10:07] Subconscious thoughts playing in the background, we're dictating everything I did. [11:19] What thoughts do you have about the goals you didn't hit or the one that you're afraid to try? What do you do once you uncover a subconscious thought that is a stumbling block? [11:46] The awareness alone can completely shift your mindset. [13:07] Purposefully think about thoughts that drive determination and commitment. Connect your goals around your personal vision for your life.

We made it! It's the last Monday of 2022. It's time to talk about how to pick your 2023 BIG Goal! This episode is for anyone who wants to consistently set and achieve goals. We're talking about setting goals and having the mindset to see them through to the end. What if you spent 365 days focused on solely making your dream a reality?

We start in January and registration to join the group is open now. Episode Highlights:  [02:45] Setting goals gives us focus and intention. [03:05] Consider a few things. The best part of setting and going after a goal isn't in the achievement of the goal. The best part is who you become in the process. [05:07] Step into the mindset of becoming a goal-achieving woman. [05:25] 1. Start from a place of abundance. Never pick a goal from a lack of something or a place of scarcity. [06:03] An abundance exercise where you write things that you now have and things that you want and don't have. [07:05] 2. Think about the 365 days that are available to you in 2023. What would feel amazing to have accomplished by the end of 2023? [09:00] If other people's opinions didn't matter what would you do? Would you choose the same goal if other people's opinions didn't matter? [10:26] Focus on who you need to be before you start outlining your actions. [11:07] Write your big goal out very clearly and specifically. Write it out as if it already happened. If you say it out loud, your brain believes you.  Links and Resources: The Dangerous Woman Mastermind Dr. Krystal Conner Dr. Krystal Conner Instagram How to Be a Dangerous Woman Facebook Group Dangerous Woman Manifesto Brooke Castillo

If so don't worry, because it's time to turn your 2022 failures into your 2023 superpowers.  What if you spent 365 days focused on solely making your dream a reality? This is what we're going to do in The Dangerous Woman Mastermind The Year of You.  You and nine other women will spend an entire year focusing on your biggest goals, along with deep level coaching, support, and massive amounts of action and accountability.

[03:14] What went right this year? Write out everything from personal to professional. Dig deep.  [04:31] Don't miss your wins, celebrate them. [05:11] Write out what didn't go right in 2022. Do it objectively and from a place of confidence. Everything you put in your answer about what didn't go right needs to be things that you had control over. [07:04] Notice what came up. Is your what went wrong list longer than your what went right list? [07:54] What am I going to do differently in 2023? What will you do differently for each thing that went wrong or didn't work out as you wanted it to? [08:41] Focus on the intention that you will approach the wrong list in 2023. You may remove goals that no longer align or decide to approach something differently. [09:27] List specific actions. You want to create a mindset shift that will serve you for the rest of your life. [10:01] If you look at each year as a building block to the next year, you'll be able to accomplish things beyond your wildest dreams.

It's the height of the holiday season, and so many of us have so much going on. Gratitude can be one of those things that gets pushed off to the side and ignored. I'm going to share why you should be practicing gratitude and some tangible ways to do so. Practicing gratitude can make us feel more grounded, lead to a more stable life, and bring us peace. What if you spent 365 days focused on solely making your dream a reality? This is what we're going to do in The Dangerous Woman Mastermind The Year of You.  You and nine other women will spend an entire year focusing on your biggest goals, along with deep level coaching, support, and massive amounts of action and accountability. We start in January and registration to join the group is open now. Episode Highlights:  [02:47] We're worrying about so many things right now that gratitude isn't even at the top of our list. [03:20] Having a regular practice of gratitude leads to significantly better health over the span of your life. [03:41] Gratitude can also help you improve your relationships. Think about who you love the most and the relationship you have with those people. Don't you want to share time with people you have mutual gratitude with? [04:02] Gratitude strengthens bonds and connections. It drives feelings of positivity, love, and respect. It increases our desire to want to foster and develop those relationships. [04:15] Healthy relationships make your life better and practicing gratitude will do the same. [04:27] Set your intention and think about it on purpose. Decide that you will be a woman who practices thankfulness. Show gratitude to those around you and make it part of who you are. [05:34] Decide now that you are going to be someone who is thankful and grateful for the people who helped you. [05:50] Finding your why and uncovering meaning also leads to more gratitude. [07:20] You can also tap into gratitude by helping someone else. When we spend too much time focusing on ourselves, we become stuck. [08:28] Decide to practice gratitude. Take a moment each morning to visualize what you're grateful for. In the evening, write down three or four things that you are grateful for. This method will constantly keep gratitude in your vision. [00:08:28] Decide to practice gratitude. Take a moment each morning to visualize what you're grateful for. In the evening, write down three or four things that you are grateful for.

This podcast is officially one year old. The first episode aired on December 6th of last year. I'm grateful for each and everyone of you who've taken your precious time and listened to this show. This week I'm talking about decision making.  A lot of people struggle with making powerful concise decisions. I'm going to talk about the three types of decision makers and what you can do to make sure your decision making isn't holding you back from achieving your goals.  What if you spent 365 days focused on solely making your dream a reality? This is what we're going to do in The Dangerous Woman Mastermind The Year of You.  You and nine other women will spend an entire year focusing on your biggest goals, along with deep level coaching, support, and massive amounts of action and accountability. We start in January and registration to join the group is open now. Episode Highlights:  [02:30] There are three types of decision makers including the  non decision makers, I need to research more decision makers, and the I'm going to do this decision maker.  [02:54] We can also fluctuate between these three categories.  [03:05] I don't know, has to be one of the most protective sentences that our brain can serve up to us. It's a one way ticket to nowhere until you do know. [03:48] We lean on I don't know, because our brains don't like to be wrong. [04:05] The only way to escape this trap is to make a decision and forge ahead anyway. Fear of failure is what holds us back. [05:24] Instead of saying failure, think of it as an unintended outcome. [06:09] I need to do more research or have more time to think about it. The problem comes in when we use our past to inform our present decisions. If you're looking to grow, you can't make decisions based on the same things that you always have. [10:02] How would you show up differently if you thought of yourself as someone who makes powerful, strong decisions? [11:59] I'm going to do this decision makers. This is where you trust yourself so much that you move forward in confidence. This is where you operate in the do it afraid energy. [12:44] This is a place that you can only get to through time as you build your trust muscles.

There are two questions that you can use to discover limiting factors that may be holding you back. The answers to these questions dictate everything you do in your life. I'm going to share these two questions and discuss different ways the answers may affect your life and stifle your goals. This simple self-discovery exercise of noticing underlying beliefs and the thoughts they drive will serve you through the new year and beyond. What if you spent 365 days focused on solely making your dream a reality? This is what we're going to do in The Dangerous Woman Mastermind The Year of You. You and nine other women will spend an entire year focusing on your biggest goals, along with deep level coaching, support, and massive amounts of action and accountability. We start in January and registration to join the group is open now. Episode Highlights:  [02:17] What do I want people to think about me? What do I want to avoid in my life? [02:34] The answers to these questions dictate how you do everything from your decisions, behaviors, to relationships. [03:14] What do I want people to think of me? All of us think about this at some level. This dictates how you show up. [04:02] You might want people to think that you are independent or a rebel. That also dictates how you show up and what you do. [04:29] Notice how your desire to be seen as somebody nice, kind, sweet, and well thought of is going to encourage you to say yes to some things and no to others. [05:21] If you want to be seen as successful, you might avoid anything that could be seen as a risky opportunity. [06:05] We can want to be seen in a certain way and try to control the narrative, or we can just simply be. [06:49] What are you avoiding in your life? Whatever it is, it's limiting you.  [08:36] You may be avoiding discomfort. Doing something new is uncomfortable. If your purpose in life is to avoid discomfort, you might not try something new and do that big goal. [09:37] Whatever we are avoiding is preventing us from living our desires and dreams.  [10:16] Gather information and gain a new perspective.  [10:54] When you look at your plans for this year and the next year, notice what thoughts come up and your underlying beliefs that are driving those thoughts.

I've been making it a point to be and feel more grateful. This month is National Gratitude Month, and we also celebrate Thanksgiving. It's time to focus on how to be and feel more grateful. I will talk about ways to find gratitude in your life, even when it feels difficult and challenging. What if you spent 365 days focused on solely making your dream a reality? This is what we're going to do in The Dangerous Woman Mastermind The Year of You. You and nine other women will spend an entire year focusing on your biggest goals, along with deep level coaching, support, and massive amounts of action and accountability. We start in January and registration to join the group is open now. Episode Highlights:  [01:32] How can we feel thankful when times are difficult? [01:57] Choose to be grateful. Intentionally set out to find gratitude in your life. Put thought, time and action into it. [03:33] Looking at life's difficulty in a different way will put you in a completely different mindset. [03:58] Begin to seek out ways to serve others that are suffering. Set aside your problems and take the time to be present for someone else. [04:52] Ways to implement gratitude practice in your life. Start noticing your complaints and follow them up with a statement of gratitude.  [05:27] Intentional gratitude. Allow yourself to express your feelings, and then follow it up with something positive.  [07:01] I caught myself complaining about having to take my children to all of their sports events, then I realized that eventually they'd be out of the house, and I wouldn't have these opportunities. I became grateful for the carpool time. [08:40] Look at your life and see how the complaints of one-season becomes the longings of another. [09:06] Journaling is a great practice for gratitude. Make a point to write out three to five things that you are grateful for. [09:51] You could also create a gratitude jar. Start with intention and make it part of your dangerous woman manifesto.

Be aware of how you speak about yourself and think about yourself. [04:32] 2. Growth. Seek out opportunities to grow. Don't stop learning.  [05:38] 3. Attention to external appearance and environment. When you feel and look good, it changes everything. [06:29] Taking care of your appearance is not a form of vanity unless you prioritize it over everything else. Everything around you should be an extension of who you are, even your car and your home. [08:21] 4. Be in charge of your schedule. Be mindful of how you spend your time. Don't allow life and your day to just happen to you.

We start in January and registration to join the group is open now. Episode Highlights:  [02:47] One of my recent thoughts is that I should be further along than I am right now. I fell into victim mode and fought for excuses.  [04:03] We find evidence to justify why we haven't done something. It would be more efficient to look at what is possible. [05:35] Where in your life are you fighting for your reasons why not? Who has the answers to your problems if you don't have them? [06:22] Why couldn't I have a multimillion-dollar business? Because I've never done it before and I don't know how.  [06:46] Ask yourself why you can't have the thing that you're dreaming about. Then answer yourself. [07:51] Ask yourself who you've been in your business and your life. [09:40] I've been showing up for my clients 110% and fighting for their dreams.
