Do you believe in possibilities? Are you focus on the good that can happen? Or are you more focused on all of the things that have happened to you?

In this episode, Bri Tartaglione joins us to help us see new possibilities. Bri shares her story of how she became temporarily paralyzed, changed her thinking, took her first steps and literally started running towards new possibilities.

During our journey to recover from people pleasing, a big part of it comes from believing in ourselves. How often do we let other people's opinions get in the way of us truly enjoying our lives? Way too often we let negative comments creep in, camp out and keep us stuck. We need to stop listening to the negative comments and start believing in ourselves more. How do we do that? Louise McMilan, an Inspirational Speaker and Coach, joins us today to share her experience with mental health, lack of self belief and how it all changed when she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.  This episode will inspire you to be true to yourself, to believe in yourself and do more of the things that bring you joy. Don't waste time by not believing in yourself. Learn how to keep the negative thoughts at bay, reframe your thoughts and change your energy.

Has there been a time where you felt like you should have said something but you didn't? Are you able to speak up and hold your boundaries? Or are you always inconveniencing yourself? As people pleasers, we tend to shy away from telling people what we truly want. We think that if we speak up that it will come off too harshly, people won't accept us and we worry that it will make others uncomfortable. Well it's time to change that. It's time to start speaking up for ourselves and be more assertive. And we can do it in a way that makes us show up even more authentically. To help us with this, we are joined by Cara Tuttle Bell.

As people pleasers, it's often hard for us to trust and listen to ourselves. We are so filled with the voices of other people and what they want us to do and what they think we should do. We push aside the small whispers (or don't even hear them) inside of us that tell us to do or not to do something because the outside voices are louder.  To help us really take control of our lives, we need to pay attention to those whispers. We need to lean into them and take action. And I know that's not as easy as it sounds, so we are joined by Elena Sonnino to help us out.  Elena Sonnino is a life coach, speaker, yoga teacher and now author of Inhabit Your Joy: A Book of Nudges. In this episode, she shares her experience from ignoring the whispers to living her life based off of the whispers. Elena teaches us how to listen to our whispers, how to become our own best friend and how to live into our personal core values.  This episode will help you to get back to the person you are meant to be and take control of your life.  Connect with Elena Sonnino: Website: elenasonnino.com Instagram: @elenasonnino Thrive Journal Purchase Inhabit Your Joy: A Book of Nudges Connect with me, Ariel Vaughan Bredder: Instagram: @beyoutifulchick and @itstimetobeyoupodcast Join the It's Time to Be YOU Facebook Community

The journey from people pleasing to living life on your terms is going to require some changes. And the ability to change starts with making a decision.  To help us put ourselves first, we need to decide to love ourselves, to choose ourselves and to believe in ourselves.

Debbie Freeman joins us for this episode to share her journey of having a succcesful career as a performer, entrepreneur and dance captain of the Radio City Rockettes, to losing everything when she went through a divorce with an addict to making the choice to take back her life, lose 100 pounds and become Ms. Nevada at the age of 51.

It's easy to live life out of alignment when we're focused on external valdiation. As people pleasers, it's easy for us to get caught up in whatever other people think of us, how other people define success and do whatever will give us the attention and validation we think we need. And when we are living out of alignment we are not living to our fullest potential. So how does one stop people pleasing and step into their power? Is it even possible after being a lifelong habitual people pleaser? The answer is YES! Of course, stepping out of people pleasing and into your power isn't easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is. It takes major mindset shifts, daily practices, and drastic action toward loving oneself. Although it may seem difficult, it is possible, and it is something our guest on today's episode has been able to achieve.  From people pleasing from a young age to protect herself and her family, to stepping into her most empowered self where she is now able to help others do the same. Erin Bogdan, authenticity coach, soul purpose activator, and recovering people pleaser,  joins us today to share her journey with cultivating self worth to step out of people pleasing and into her most authentic self. She took inspired actions that led her to the other side of the world and back, as well as quitting her 6 figure job to pursue her dreams as an entrepreneur. Erin's story is truly inspirational for anyone suffering from people pleasing habits. Releasing yourself from living for others is possible, and uncovering your true potential is your right. Don't miss this episode to learn practical ways you can also be your most authentic self and live your most aligned life. Topics discussed in this episode: Erin's people pleasing journey and when she realized she was a people pleaser Erin's deep healing experience in Bali and how you can experience healing without the trip Tips on how to cultivate self worth to live authentically How to understand your own thoughts How to take your power back and find worthiness within Erin's transition from leaving a 6 figure job to becoming an entrepreneur Body image and self worth Practical advice on how to live in alignment Connect with Erin Bogdan:Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Join the FREE It's Time to Be YOU Facebook Community and let us know what you're proud of yourself for!

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue consistently.” - Maya Angelou If you were to take inventory of your life, could you claim to be courageous? Taking aligned action can be quite scary for a lot of people. There is seemingly so much on the line when stepping out of your comfort zone and acting fearlessly. However, what is on the other side of that fear is an authentic life curated by you and dictated by external perceptions. With the right motivation and proper identification of fear, you can create a life true to you. This is exactly what today's guest has put into practice and has created a life around educating the world about courage. Speaker, author, and courage coach, Candace Doby joins us to extend her knowledge on how to conjure courage through her own personal journey with courage.

It's no surprise that so many people with people pleasing tendencies have a harder time finding their purpose or confuse their purpose with what other people have in mind. Separating your needs from the needs of others can be a challenge, but necessary if you want to live an authentic life. It takes a lot of inner work to find who you truly are after living a life chasing other people's ideas of success. How far would you go to uncover your true purpose? Would you take a 12 month sabbatical and leave your 7 figure business? This sounds extreme, but was how our guest got the call to live her true purpose. Mary Henderson, internationally recognized personal branding and online business specialist, joins us on today's episode to share her story of her journey to self discovery. This massively impactful story takes us through how Mary recognized her current situation wasn't working for her, and the moment everything shifted.  The road to living with grace and in your genius is the most important one you can take. The universe is abundant and wants to serve YOU! Not anyone else you think you should be. So when you step into your true authentic self, the universe provides in ways you can't even fathom.  Tune in to learn the tools and techniques Mary used to find her purpose by honoring her highest self and elevate her frequency to create the fulfilling life she is living now. Topics discussed in this episode: Mary's journey through self discovery What led Mary to leave her 7 figure business  What is the true meaning of purpose What is our internal inventory Value of true currency: knowledge, wisdom, and skills The importance of surrounding yourself with the right people What is quantum medicine and how  Steps on how to unpack your true purpose and potential Connect with Mary Henderson: Facebook LinkedIn Website: maryhendersoncoaching.com Email: mary@maryhendersoncoaching.com Join the FREE It's Time to Be YOU Facebook Community
