Podcasts about do it scared

Okay friends — this episode is so special. We sat down with our new friend Daniel McLeod for a convo that left us honestly fired up and so encouraged. Daniel lives in Nashville and leads an incredible ministry called Jesus Mission that's all about reaching the next generation — and y'all, the stories he shares are WILD. We're talking revival in high schools, miracles on the streets of Broadway, and what it really means to live with radical, sold-out obedience to Jesus. We talk about the cost of following Jesus, how scary obedience can be (and how to do it anyway), and the better-than-you-could-imagine life that comes on the other side of surrender. Whether you're in full-time ministry, raising babies, working a 9-to-5, or just trying to figure it all out — this episode will remind you that your “yes” to God matters more than you think. Let's get after it! Topics Discussed What Is Jesus Mission? From High School Revival to Friday Nights on Broadway The Wild Story Behind Wilco United and 1,600 High Schoolers Worshiping Becoming the Peer Pressure: A Radical High School Faith Story Building Ministry That Meets Real Needs When Radical Obedience Doesn't Equal a Paycheck What It Costs to Live Fully for Jesus The Sweetness on the Other Side of Surrender Miracle on Broadway: Healed of Terminal Cancer That One Time Daniel Preached to a Whole Fraternity When Obedience Feels Awkward and Success Looks Different First Steps: How to Do It Scared and Say Yes Anyway Radical Motherhood, Everyday Yeses & What's Next for Fireplace Thanks To Our Sponsors!

What happens when you stop letting self-doubt hold you back and start giving yourself permission to explore, grow, and reinvent?For Natalie Wester, it meant stepping into a life of adventure, self-discovery, and midlife confidence. At 61, she embarked on a 70-day solo trip around the world with just a carry-on, proving to herself (and the rest of us!) that reinvention has no age limit.In this inspiring conversation, Natalie and I dive into what it truly means to embrace self-permission—the key to unlocking joy, courage, and the midlife confidence to live life on our own terms. We talk about:✨ How Natalie shifted from self-doubt to bold action and midlife confidence ✨ Why simplifying her life brought her more joy ✨ The power of getting out of our own way in midlife ✨ Learning to embrace uncertainty without fear ✨ What whiskey has to do with reinvention (yes, really!)If you've ever felt stuck in midlife, wondering what's next, this episode is your reminder that you're capable of so much more than you think. Whether it's traveling the world, trying something new, or simply learning to trust yourself, self-permission is the spark that makes reinvention (and midlife confidence) possible.Are you ready to press the gas pedal on your own reinvention and step into your midlife confidence? Let's go!

If you're a midlife woman, chances are you've thought about your greying hair—whether to embrace it, color it, or figure out what's next. Sound familiar?

Be Bold & Spread The Gospel (Be Bold Series)Ephesians 3:7-13 “Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace which was given me by the working of his power.  To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things; that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places.  This was according to the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,  in whom we have boldness and confidence of access through our faith in him. So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.”It was tough to pick a verse this morning. I have been reading Ephesians, and there are so many good verses in there. I kept reading and re-reading chapters 1 and 2, and so many things were jumping out at me, but I didn't feel like any of those verses were the ones I was supposed to talk about today. Then I went on to chapter 3, and this verse jumped out at me. I felt the Lord wanted me to speak to you about evangelization today. If you are like me, that word might scare you a bit.When I hear that word, I want to look around and see who else the Lord might be talking to. When I hear that word, I instantly feel inadequate. Why is this? I know several Gospel stories and parables, so it is not as if I don't know what's in the Gospel. I know that God is love, which is the most important word to get out there. I know it is essential that people discover the love God has for them. I know these things, so why do I feel so afraid when I hear someone say that we are all called to share the good news with everyone we meet?St. Paul was an extraordinary man and a great evangelizer. He is credited with writing about half of the books in the New Testament. Yet, in this opening verse, it says, “Of this gospel, I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace which was given me by the working of his power.  To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, to preach to the Gentiles.” St. Paul knew he was called to be an evangelist as well. He knew his calling was to spread the word of the Gospel to all he met, but he really didn't feel qualified.I take comfort in this. I take comfort in knowing I am not the only one who gets nervous when I look at the call the Lord has placed on my life. I also hate to be the bearer of bad news, but God has also put this call on your lives.  We are all called to bring the Gospel to all we meet. Does your stomach feel funny when I say that? Do you get nervous when you realize God calls you to spread His word? If you do, you are not alone. I don't know anyone who is only excited and not nervous to go out and share the Gospel. Don't get me wrong, I know people who are excited to share the Gospel with others; however, they are nervous about doing it and feel inadequate to do it. I don't know anyone who sets out to evangelize, thinking they know everything and that it will be easy.This is why the next line is so important. It says, “This was according to the eternal purpose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord,  in whom we have boldness and confidence of access through our faith in him.” This verse says we have boldness and confidence of access through our faith in him. Jesus can give us the boldness we need. Let me read you this part in the message translation. “I have been made a messenger of this wonderful news by the gift of grace that works through me. Even though I am the least significant of all his holy believers, this grace gift was imparted when the manifestation of His power came upon me. Grace alone empowers me so that I can boldly preach this wonderful message to non-Jewish people, sharing with them the unfading, inexhaustible riches of Christ, which are beyond comprehension.”I love that this translation says, “by the gift of grace that works through me.” Grace is a gift from God. Grace can help us do things we could never do on our own. The verse also says, “Grace alone empowers me so that I can boldly preach this wonderful message.” God is calling us all to share the Gospel with all we meet. This means that He will equip us with all the grace we need to do so. If you feel inadequate to share the Gospel, join the club; we all feel inadequate. However, that doesn't mean we get to excuse ourselves from doing it. How we feel doesn't stop us from fulfilling our calling.There is a podcast I used to listen to called “Do It Scared.” This is what we are called to do. We are called to step out in faith even when we don't think we are the best person for the job. Who are we to question God's judgment? We are called to step out in faith even when we are scared. We are called to trust that God's grace is enough to empower us to do what He has called us. We are called to step out with a holy boldness. Sometimes, that boldness won't come before you step out, but it will help you say what He wants.If you are like me, you may think, “That is great, Catherine. I get that God's grace is enough. Yet, I still feel inadequate and need something more practical to help me step out in faith on this journey.” If this is you, I have you covered. In one of our Encounter Ministry classes, they gave us a list of declarations that we can say each day to help us begin to believe that we can go out and evangelize. If you say or write these declarations often, they can help build your confidence. They can also replace your negative self-talk around the word evangelization and your ability to do it. Declarations work best if said daily, out loud, and while looking in a mirror. However, if that doesn't work for you, do what does. I write these declarations most mornings. Writing seems to work well for me, although now that I say that, I will probably start saying them out loud and writing them. Here are the declarations:Everywhere I go, I am overwhelmed by God's love for people, and that motivates me to share the gospel.It is easy and normal for me to articulate the gospel.I have an anointing for evangelization.Today, my mind and spirit will tune in to the people around me and find those who desire to be saved. I will lead those people to Jesus.I am fearless and courageous, and I live with an understanding that people are hungry for Jesus.I am creative in my evangelization and I adapt well to bring powerful God encounters to different kinds of people.I love evangelizing!It is easy to share the gospel with others because they want to know the God that is inside of me.When I feel afraid to share the gospel with someone I will remind myself that on the other side of fear is a testimony.Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless everyone listening to this episode today. Lord, we love you so much. You are amazing. We thank you for giving us the grace we need to fulfill our mission. We are sorry we question you and feel inadequate for all you call us to do. We believe you will equip us, Lord. Help our unbelief. Please help us feel more confident in the call you have given each of us. The call to share your Word and love with everyone we meet.  Help us step out in faith and try to do this, Lord. Help each one of us try to let one person today know that Jesus loves them. We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen.Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. Can I ask you a favor today? Would you forward this podcast to someone you know today who would be blessed by it? I would really appreciate you helping me spread the Word of God to more people. If you don't think this would be the right episode to send to someone, then pick your favorite one and send that one to them. Thanks so much! I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I! May the grace and favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be upon you. Have a blessed day!Today's Word from the Lord was received in August 2024 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group.

Have you ever noticed how often fear holds us back from getting what we actually want?It sometimes keeps us from trying at all, makes us self-sabotage even when we do try.And it comes up a LOT.It's also a phenomenon that has fascinated me for a long time—so much so that I spent more than TWO YEARS researching all the ways that fear holds us back and surveying more than 4,000 women, and then wrote a book about it called Do It Scared.And while these days I spend a lot of my time helping women over 40 lose weight and get healthy, I've found that that underlying fear issue never really goes away.It holds us back from reaching our health goals in many of the same ways it holds us back from a lot of other things in life.And so today, I wanted to talk about that. How to overcome your fear of failure and actually take control of your health for good. I want to talk about why that fear happens and what it looks like, and most importantly what you can actually do about it.It's a powerful topic, and one I hope has a lasting impact on you, maybe even in more ways than just your health. So let's dig in!Want to learn more about how our program can help you lose weight and get healthy FOR LIFE without dieting or drugs, then I'd love to invite you to join me for my next FREE workshop!If you've never joined me for a live workshop, you should know they're always really fun and JAM PACKED with valuable info!

Welcome back Worthiness Warriors! Hello from Napa Valley, CA. It's so incredibly lush and rainy, and this morning we went for a walk and the river was rushing. It feels like the Pacific Northwest. So frequently we have all-or-nothing thinking, and it's serving NO ONE. It's unsustainable, and humans change. Previously, if I didn't do something consistently I would hide. I didn't know how to show up at less than 100%. Let 1 tiny action, 1 minute, and 1 thought be enough. We have to shift our mentality to support what we want. You cannot do this all in for the rest of your life. Instead, let's support ourselves in the 1% more. Join me for my 30 Day challenge, Do It Scared. I'm asking you to come up with something you are scared of doing. We're going to accomplish something we are afraid of in the community, and you'll want to be a part of it. If you want to work with me 1-on-1 with me click here. Join me at the next retreat on the Oregan Coast in May!! Thank you, and have a beautiful rest of your day. I'll see you next week.

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! I come to you from San Francisco, it has been so rainy! We are safe, safe, and semi-dry. It's been an exciting time because my podcast has grown a lot lately! I'm thrilled and so grateful that you're sharing it with friends. I love that I get to be 100% me here.

Have you felt apprehensive about making that leap into something new as you reinvent yourself?Ever talk yourself out of it because you're scared of how things might unfold and where you'll land?I've been there before. In fact, more  times than I'd like to admit.

How do you feel when someone asks you how long you've been doing hair? Whether you have been doing hair for a long time or you just graduated, how does it make you feel?    There are 2 types of people in the world: People that feel like they've learned it all, and people that feel like there is always something to learn.    If you're the kind of person that feels like they can always improve & there is always something to learn, you want to make sure that when you are looking into furthering your education, you do your homework.    Is NBR the easiest thing to learn?

29 And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, 30 while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” 31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.ACTS 4:5-31 DO IT SCARED.Boldness (parresia): freedom in speaking, unreservedness in speech. Free and fearless confidence, cheerful courage, assuranceBOLDNESS IS INHERITED, NOT INHERENT13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished.ACTS 4:13By all outward measures, Christianity – the movement of the followers of Jesus – was very weak at this early point.They were few in number.They were inexperienced in leadership.They were commanded to not fight back; they were not militant.They were opposed by institutions that had existed for hundreds of years.DAVID GUZIK13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus. ACTS 4:13“Unlearned and ignorant” - that is, these men hadn't been to a theological seminary. But the Sanhedrin noted that they had been with Jesus. How wonderful to have a life that somehow or other calls attention to Jesus.J. Vernon McGee“Let me ask you, how many atheists are now in this house? Perhaps not a single one of you would accept the title, and yet, if you live from Monday morning to Saturday night in the same way as you would live if there were no God, you are a practical atheist.”Charles Spurgeon“The chief duty of the Christian is to make their hearts glad in the Lord.”George MullerI have seen YouI've beheld Your gloryAnd I am ruinedFor there is none to compareJeremy Riddle (Psalm 63)BOLDNESS IS GIVEN TO THOSE RESISTING THE STATUS QUO, NOT TO THOSE IN ITStatus Quo: the existing state of affairs8 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel, and the children of Israel went out with boldness. Exodus 14:8The idea behind the Hebrew words with boldness (ruwn yad) includes the idea of rebellion against authority. The rebellious nature of Israel was good when it was against Pharaoh and all it stood for; it was bad when it was against the LORD, Moses, and all they stood for. The trouble with most rebels is that they rebel against the wrong things.David Guzik“It made me a little envious at that moment. And since then, that I didn't have that foundation as an atheist, or some sort of higher purpose or something. Cause in the face of that inexplicable tragedy I'm kind of flailing.” Nick WrightBOLDNESS CHANGES THE WORLD“Make ten men feel like a hundred.”Cassian Andor

Many podcasters want to use their podcast to create an online business. Rob Kaiser wants to use his podcast to help grow his family business that produces hand-crafted products. York Meadow Farm creates batches of probiotic-rich fermented foods and all-natural bath and body products, scented with pure essential oils. They are sold online and at farmers' markets. Now, he is ready to take it to the next level. There are many trainings that help you create online business. The funnels, the landing pages and the process. But, how do you grow a business that sells physical products? MASTERMIND There is a power that comes with surrounding yourself with other powerful minds. Napoleon Hill talked about it in "Think and Grow Rich". It is the power of the mastermind. When two or more minds come together, the power they create is unstoppable. If you are working to grow your business, you should find a group of your own. There are various reasons to join a mastermind group. Through the collective mind, you will come across ideas and solutions that you would not have found by yourself. If you have ever been in a true brainstorming session, you understand how all ideas (even the bad ones) lead to other ideas.   In a mastermind, you will be able to learn from others' skills and experiences and expand your own knowledge. Sometimes we don't know what we don't know. Others can help you see your blind spots.   By surrounding yourself with others, you will be much more committed to your goals as you openly share them with your peers. You will have accountablility partners.   With this group, you will have a small network of people who are always willing to help you. Being a solopreneur doesn't necessarily mean you have to go it alone. There are many other benefits that you will discover once you get into a mastermind.

Welcome back to Be It Till You See It. Ah, I just got off of the interview with Hazel Ortega, let me just tell you if there was never, if there was ever a Be It Till You See It story you had to listen to this, this is the one. This woman grew up in just grew up in a city that like many of us could never imagine or dream or picture. And it was hard times, I mean, she didn't get her high school diploma till she was 30. So spoiler alert there. And now she is I just hung up with her and she's gone off to a trip to Peru, and then she's going to Croatia. So, she is literally going to tell you how to Be It Till You See It. She's got a great vision for how this is, her tips are absolutely doable. And it's a challenge to live in this mindset. But it's like, every time I hear her story, I can't think of another way to live. I can't think of another mindset to have, it just makes so much sense. So if you have been struggling if you've been like, "Well Lesley, these stories you keep bringing on they're great, but I'm from a place that this doesn't happen. People don't leave my town like that, or, you know, I'm I'm in this relationship. And I this is how it's gonna be and I can't see a logical way out of it." Well, we're screwing logic this week, and we are talking about miracles. And so, I I really hope you listen to her whole story here and dive into the thing she's offering you there in the show notes below. And you know, do me a huge favor and let Hazel and I know how this episode changed your life or changed your mindset even for a moment. Because I think it's, I think it's like a really great way if we could just make this the other way that everyone's dreaming. Just imagine where the world would be and all the things that we're doing. So, anyways, y'all Hazel Ortega is with us this week. Oh, and also so exciting. If you love Joanna Vargas from episode one, I met this woman through Joanna Vargas. And so side note, just something I'd say, ask people you love to know about people they love. Because something I'm doing here in Las Vegas is asking people who I really love and enjoy who they love and enjoy because I'm building a network because I didn't have one when I moved here. I knew a couple people very tangentially like spent a little bit of time with them and we both loved Carbon 38 and everything has it's hard to meet people, it's hard to create a community, I'm not saying it's easy. So you know please know that I understand that that effort. But if you want to meet awesome people ask the awesome people you know who they love and your your awesome community and network will grow. So here we go after this message, Hazel Ortega.Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast, where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Hello, Be It Till You See It listeners. I'm here with Hazel Ortega. Y'all, this woman I cannot wait for you to hear her story. I'm so honored because I know it already. But she was introduced to me by Joanna Vargas. You'll remember from episode one. So if you love Joanna and the force she is then you are going to love Hazel. And so here is Hazel! Hazel tell everyone who you are and what you're up to. And just thank you so much for being here today to shine your light and share your story.Hazel Ortega 3:59  Thank you, Lesley, thank you so much for letting me do that, right? That's my number one thing is to change the world by sharing my story. And who I am, I'm a I'm a mom. I have a 23 year old daughter who just graduated college and is a registered nurse. Yes ...Lesley Logan 4:18  That's amazing. The world needs more nurses. That's amazing.Hazel Ortega 4:22  Yes, I'm very happy that I created this human being to contribute to the planet. And my story, my story started off really rough growing up in the poorest neighborhood of Los Angeles. Not just poor but you know, gang members and growing up on welfare. My parents were immigrants from Mexico didn't even speak English. And having education was something that was not a priority. Surviving our neighborhood was (Lesley: Yeah) not ending up in what most people would end up in in those conditions like becoming pregnant as a teenager, becoming a drug addict, going to jail, getting into gangs or dying, (Lesley: Yeah) basically. So I that's the way I grew up. Ah ...Lesley Logan 5:17  Yeah, I mean, I think it's so interesting to hear you point out, like, that, that was... the thing was surviving. Because I think a lot of people who didn't grew up in that kind of environment, do not... do misunderstand, like, "Well, why don't they just go get a job?" And it's like, well, it's really not that easy when when everything around you is like, it's when you're in that Maslow's hierarchy of needs of like, "Where's your next meal? Where are you staying for the night?" Like that kind of stuff. It is hard to see a future ahead. And so did you, so can you tell everyone like, did you, did you go to college? I mean, your daughter went or like when what was your next step? Like, how did you get out of that neighborhood? Because I mean, if you're watching on YouTube, y'all she is living in a beautiful house. So with a gorgeous red hat. So like, how did you go from that environment to where you are now?Hazel Ortega 6:08  Yeah, well, when you say that environment, it means like an 800 square foot apartment, one bedroom, not having a future, defaulting into getting a job, not a job I love but a job because my cousin works there, right. And I need to pay my bills. So it was never a conversation of creating my life and going in that direction. I never had that conversation with anybody. (Lesley: Yeah) So, how did that that all change? I got a job because my cousin was working at a law office. And she brought me and she was the receptionist, and the attorney interviewed me, I probably was not going to get the job. He even asked me what gang I was from, because he could tell that I had like this tough, you know, demeanor, and like I know a lot of things from the streets. And he did ask me that about the gangs. And he knew where I lived. He asked me, you know, what Avenue I was living on, because the gang is a lot is called The Avenues. (Lesley: Yeah) And he did end up hiring me because, not only did my cousin recommend me for the job, but I also had a mentor in high school who was a judge in the workers compensation arena, and who this attorney knew. And because of that recommendation, I was able to start work at this prestigious law firm. (Lesley: Wow) And that's where everything changed. And Lesley, you know, the last time I was talking to your people, I was telling them, that things didn't change for me until I changed my environment. (Lesley: Yeah) Right ...Lesley Logan 7:43  That is that is the biggest key. I'm studying like, human behavior, with BJ Fogg. And he has said, the study show, if you don't change your environment it doesn't matter what you do, doesn't matter if you go back to school, or if you lose the weight, or if you get the gold job. If your environment is the same, you won't ... you won't get the benefits of those things.Hazel Ortega 8:05  Yeah, exactly. Like people tell me, "Oh, you were a big fish in a small pond." I said, "No, a fish can't grow big in a small pond." You have to change your pond. And getting this job at this prestigious law firm was a different pond.Lesley Logan 8:20  Oh, that is... I mean, I felt like Oprah, that's a tweetable moment. It's not... a fish can't grow big (Lesley laughs) in a small pond, you have to get a bigger pond. That's amazing. (Hazel laughs) Yeah. So so you know, you got this job. And I mean, so many people listening this are doing a job that maybe they got because someone recommended you should do this, or you should do this. And I think I think a lot of people, even in growing in environments that are not as tough as yours, are not living their purpose. They're they're doing what someone said they should do, or like, here's a job you can have. And so how did how did you? What was it like at that that law firm? And like what what was the next step? What was that launching pad for you?Hazel Ortega 9:03  First, I'll tell you, I got the job. And I felt out of place, like I didn't belong. And I worked with these attorneys that were making millions of dollars a year. It's such a prestigious law firm, right? And celebri... we represented celebrities who were injured while filming, which was really interesting, and NFL players. And I always felt really shy like I was not on the same level as them like there's a difference there. And I kept working there. Eventually I ended up getting injured on that job. The attorney that I worked for who encouraged me to go back to school because of my injury and just because I should. I didn't even have a high school diploma when he hired me at 24 years old. A couple years later, I became an injured worker. The attorney tells me now, "You really need to take school seriously. You need to go back to school," and I start to go back to school and I earned my highest diploma when I'm 30 years old, and then I kept going.Lesley Logan 10:05  Wow. You know, that's just like proof that it's never too late to go back. And then also, what, I mean I don't know this attorney, I don't know the whole story, but I feel like what a nice guardian angel, like just like a little, "Tap, tap, tap... You should really go back to school." And then like, you really have to take your education seriously. So you left the law firm after you got your high school diploma or what was what what did you do for work after after you went to high school?Hazel Ortega 10:31  So, I kept working with the attorney while I got my high school diploma and my college credits. I still I stayed there. And then eventually he looked at me and he said, "Oh, my God, I realized that you're go... you're going to leave me," because I was on track to become a psychologist. And, yeah, this is something that he recommended for me to do. Once I didn't know what to do. Like I got, I finished my associates degree. And he asked me, "What are you going to do next?" I had no idea what I was going to do next. And honestly, I was done. I didn't want to keep going to school. And he told me, "You you're going to be a professional, you better think about what you want to do." And I was like, "Oh my God, it was so hard to go to school." Honestly, I worked from nine to five as a secretary, I went to school from seven to 10 at night, and I went to weekend college, Saturday and Sunday ... (Lesley: and you had a daughter)Lesley Logan 11:25  And your three kids (Hazel: three kids at home, three young kids at home.) Wow! Wow! So okay. So I know the moms listening to this are like, how did you do that? Like, did you have help? Because I know childcare is really expensive and hard, like what... And also like, what was going through your mind that you made that a priority? Because that takes a lot of effort to make sure that you are you able to work, go to school and have your kids taken care of.Hazel Ortega 11:52  Yeah, and honestly, that losing the job that I currently had, where the where I was injured, was my push because I thought if I lose this job, I'm not going to get another job paying as much as this does. And mind you I was only getting paid $15 an hour is like I'm I'm afraid of losing this job. So I have to educate myself. So I get another job comparable to this job or better. (Lesley: Yeah) It wasn't I wanted to be a psychologist. It was because I didn't want to be homeless that I went back to school. Right? I didn't was not thinking of being a professional or, or living in a pimp daddy mansion. Like I didn't have those dreams. Okay, those dreams, I incrementally grew and grew. (Lesley: Yeah) So, I went to school and one of the things Lesley that a lot of people I realized is that they feel that the way you feel today is the way you're going to feel five years from now and that's not true. Along the way you add to your self esteem, based on what you're up to, right. Unless you don't grow and expand yourself, then you're going to have low self esteem in five years as well. There's no reason why your future should look any different. (Lesley: Right) If you personally read books, you change your environment, friends, and you learn about whatever it is that you're interested in, and go back to school and you start making changes, you're going to be a completely different person five years from now you will be and that's what happened to me.Lesley Logan 13:19  So, I couldn't agree more because I think often ... well, I said this, I've said this before, I'm not the first person to say it. But like we overestimate we can do in a day and we underestimate we can do in a year or five years. And I think, you know, we do take for granted, we think if we're feeling good, we're going to feel this good and five years, well, if you're doing the things you said you're gonna feel better, you're gonna feel even better. But if you are doing nothing, if you just stay status quo, you're gonna start to feel behind because the world's going forward, you know, so, um, so I love that you said that but so you you went to school, you change that. And then because I because I know the story and how it goes, I'm just gonna, how did you go from like, feeling like paycheck to paycheck and like being in school to being where you are now? Like, what were, what was the what was the impetus to even getting out of like, just doing the nine to five.Hazel Ortega 14:12  Okay, so I finished college, and I became a psychologist and I got a job, right? And so the college taught me how to do a new job and it was great. And it taught me how to think differently, and especially in psychology, think different and help others, right? So I'm learning that I can actually think differently and becoming educated gave me tools to react differently to the problems I was having in life. The problems never changed. I just react different because I learned to do better. So I got a job as a psychologist. I was still bouncing checks. I didn't work on that part. The ...Lesley Logan 14:48  Well, you didn't go to financial school, you went to psychology school, so you know. (Hazel: Exactly)Hazel Ortega 14:53  So, I was still bouncing checks negative in my account and feeling really like, I was going to live a life of poverty until the rest of my life and and Lesley, I'll tell you this, that people that don't have any money and people that have a lot of money can both have equal fear of not having enough money. (Lesley: Yeah) It's really as a mindset and something that everybody should work on. You could be, you could have a million dollars in the bank, and then feel like you're, you know, paying for dinner. And then people are not pitching in like, like, they're taking advantage of you, like you know ...Lesley Logan 15:30  Oh, 100 100%, that money mindset is so key because I mean, I know people who make millions of dollars, and they have the same fears that I do, and I'm not making millions yet. But, um, but like, you know, and I'm like, I like see that in them. And I'm like, "This is not something I want to grow with me. This, we need to take care of now."Hazel Ortega 15:51  Yes, and you can, you definitely can have freedom around money. So, what I did is I started to take personal development courses. And that is where everything changed exponentially for me, where I was starting to really learn about the way I think and why I think that way in and how can I think differently. And then you can have a mindset shift, like in a nanosecond, where once you see something new in a new way, you'll never go back to see it the old way. So it behooves all of us to master ourselves to learn about ourselves, and look at life in whole new different ways that this is a personal development seminar, I had a coach. And so I think that's really important for all of us to have coaches and mentors, because they see something in you that you can't see for yourself and they hold the space. Right? And my coach asked me, "Where do you see yourself in five years?" At the time, I couldn't think of anything that would be different in five years, then then what was happening in that moment. I still was the early stages of my personal development, and I call it my embryonic stage of personal development ...Lesley Logan 17:12  I love that so much, yeah, but I think, I think ... like so many people don't invest in a coach, because either they've never heard of one. Or even they may think they can't afford it or don't deserve it. So how did you like, how did you get to where you feel like, I'm gonna invest in this person?Hazel Ortega 17:29  I didn't actually invest in the personal development coach, that was something that was assigned to me. And that was my, probably my first exposure to having a coach, (Lesley: Okay, okay, got it) I'm having an ability, I became used to it. And then when I was done with the course, in my own personal life, I hired a coach for the first time for my business. Lesley Logan 17:51  Got it. Okay, I see that, thank you for sharing that. Because I think sometimes people like you did stuff to get there to get, to where you could. And so this person asked you to see yourself in five years, you couldn't do that.Hazel Ortega 18:04  I couldn't come up with anything, it was like the beginning, I was blocked, like kapow. And then I was, you know, very reasonable about everything at that time, in the sense of like, you know, based on my reality, like, what is, what's going to happen in five years, and I thought, well, in five years, me... well, I'll just be five years older. Like, there's no reason why anything should be, you know, very different. (Lesley: Right) Oh, she, you know, she asked me that, and I still couldn't come up with anything. So I'm sitting there, and she's holding space for me. I'll wait, you think about it, you know, and she gave me like, 10 minutes. And I knew I couldn't get away with like, I don't know. So I sat there and after a few minutes, I said, "Well, if I believe in God, and I believe in miracles, then what is possible for me in five years," and that opened up this world that I didn't have access to before I realized that I never dream. I'm all of us, a lot of us are mostly realistic. We're trained in school to be realistic, to be logical, to ... that, you know, two plus two is four, four plus four is eight. And that's the way it goes expert, you know, you get success as you build on it. (Lesley: Yeah) And trying to be a millionaire. If you have no money in the bank, it doesn't even seem feasible, or nobody else in your family has ever been a millionaire. It just ...Lesley Logan 19:21  That, that's exactly it. If you've never seen it, it's really hard to dream it. And if people around you are saying, "This is it, this is what you're doing." You know, like, cuz I definitely had those people in my family who were like, "Why, why would you do that?" Or like, "Don't do that, because like, you could lose everything." And it's like, "Well, I don't have a lot to lose. So I may as well cope," you know, go for it. But like it's hard if the people in your environment haven't shown you that there. It's okay, it's safe to dream and it's, it's powerful to dream.Absolutely. I mean, I'm divorced now. But when I was married, I changed jobs. And my my husband at the time, was telling me, "Why you changing jobs. What if, what if that new job, it doesn't work out and then you're gonna lose this other job that you have, and you've been there for so long." Unlike, what the other job pays more is it, I'm gonna have a better position. And I explained it to him and he was very scared for me. (Lesley: Yeah, yeah) and I did it anyway. But yes, he, you know, I could have thought to myself back then, like, "Oh, he's keeping me down, or he doesn't believe in me, he's always being negative." But now as I got my training these people in our lives, which are our mothers, our fathers, brothers and sisters, and spouses, and significant others, and everybody, they're afraid for us, right? They create these fears for us. And we're, you know, our we have a mustard seed of confidence. And we're like, you know, (Lesley: Yeah) you need a little bit that we have, and then they come in, they make us feel like, like, we should be very scared, and don't do it. (Lesley: Yeah) ... Feel the fe... you know, feel the fear and do it anyway. These people love us. They... I'm very clear about that. They don't want to keep us small, but what they want to do is keep us safe. Yeah, don't lose everything. You're gonna lose your money, don't invest in that, you're gonna lose this you all your time, you're gonna get sick. ... so that's you're free.I I love that. You said that because we have a mantra to Be It pod. It's like "Do It Scared." And so there's like all this, these clothes, this merch, like, "Do It Scared" because people ask all the time, like, "How did you do that? I'm so scared." Like, "I'm scared all the time. I'm just doing it scared." Like, I don't even like sometimes like in Cambodia, I try to learn to drive when I'm in Cambodia, on a moped, moped. And everyone drives in different, like, they're just going there's no streets like lanes, you just drive and you make a left hand turn, you make it into oncoming traffic. And then when you when it's safe, you merge over. And I literally just go, "Aaah," as I'm going in, I don't know. Somehow, it lets me like peddle. (Lesley laughs) So I love that you said that. So, I also just wanted to go back to you. So you came up with something to, you dreamt something up in five years, because you believe like, if I believe in God, if I believe in miracles, and I believe this. I think so many people are like you that they ha... they get stuck, they have a block, they're afraid. I do a lot of coaching people and I'm like, "Where do you want to be in 10 years?" And they're like, "I don't I don't even know I want to be next month." And I'm like, and then they're embarrassed by it. But that's actually not abnormal to not be able to think that far ahead. So I'm so glad you said that because a lot of people would just assume the like, "Okay, I wrote down I'm gonna do in five years," and you had a, you had a block. So how did what did you write down? How did you get past that block?Well, you know, your brain is this beautiful organ that keeps you alive. However, it also keeps you small and in fear, right? And so if you understand your brains, the way the brain works, you can outsmart your brain, right? And so when I said, you know, when I heard that question, I couldn't think of anything. I mean, I couldn't think of anything for five years. But when I said miracles, well, your brain is not, it's not programmed to make a miracle happen. So it allowed me to have that vision. That's why I think the miracle mentality miracle mindset is really important to to establish, because then you can really make miracles happen. You ...So you're replacing right miracles for goals, like your like, you put miracles in there. Because then your brain isn't like, "Oh, that's not actually logistically possible in five years." ... Because by miracle your brains like, "Okay, I'm willing to leave room for that." ...Hazel Ortega 23:31  Yeah. Imagine your brain, you put in there that you want to have a million dollars, your brain is faster than the calculator. It's already like, "No, not gonna happen." (Hazel laughs)Lesley Logan 23:42  It's so true. It's so true. You know, I'll think of things I'm like, "Oh, I wanna do that from 40." And then immediately my brain is like, "Well, where does that money come, where it's going?" And it's like, it's like, "No, stop. You don't have to worry about that. It's happening from 40." And I'm going to insert miracles, insert miracles, instead, I love it.Hazel Ortega 23:59  Yeah, do that. And even like, you could say, "I want to be in love. I want to have the love of my life." But you're married to a differ... to a person that you don't believe that that's the person, you know and you absolutely can fall in love and have the love of your life with the current relationship that you have even if you think like this person cannot change this, you know, miracles do happen, give people chances, and you'll see it, you'll absolutely see it. I wish I had this information on when I was a lot younger, my life would look even different, more different, and I would have avoided a lot of pain and suffering. But it's never too late and I'm still young. (Lesley: Yeah) You know, (Hazel laughs)Lesley Logan 24:39  You're still... well, we're also young. I mean, I mean, people are living to a 120 these days. So, okay, everyone's dying to know, what was on the thing and five years ago, what did you get all of it?Hazel Ortega 24:51  Okay, so I said, I wanted to have a life that look... like I was always on vacation ...Lesley Logan 24:59  Well, you do. You look like you're about to like go out to the pool right now. (Lesley laughs) YeahHazel Ortega 25:04  ... now at my house. (Lesley: Yeah) I'm, I'm living my dream every single day. I'm always in awe of how I manifest this into my life. But I'm always creating my life, right? So I could for the first time ever I created that I had a like, look like I was always on vacation. I said, I wanted to have a $3 million plus business. At the time, I did have my own business. I started it from my garage. Well, I grew it to be the largest company in California that offers counseling for injured workers. Then I said, I wanted to find the love of my life. I didn't even believe in that. I thought it was something you know, that was for people on television, because I, I didn't even see it in, see it in real life. My mom married and divorced many times and I was already divorced at this time also. So, I didn't believe that you could have the love of your life. And if you did, it wasn't sustainable. So it was all faced, not based on fear. I had fear but everything. (Lesley: Yeah) I also said I wanted to fly in private jets and I wanted to live in a pimp daddy mansion, the kind where music videos are filmed. ... I'll know that I had none of it at the moment when I said it.Lesley Logan 25:17  Right. And so are people filming music videos in your pimp daddy mansion? Is it happening?Hazel Ortega 26:21  Yes, it definitely happening and Grey's Anatomy is looking at my home to do a season here, filming here, (Lesley: Oh my gosh, stop!) (Lesley laughs) I tell you, I can't even invent this stuff. Like, I think you know, you when you create the life that you want. You not only get the life that you said you want, but you also get a bag of chips. That means it's even better than you created it. And you think it can't get better, but always can get better.Lesley Logan 26:49  I agree. I everything I've ever achieved that I wanted. It came with more than I expected and, and it's and it's true. Y'all, if you're listening, like, "How does she know the stuff." So, we had Hazel and as an agency, an agency for a webinar. And after a year you did your talk on, "How to like create your miracle mindset." Brad and I went for a walk and I had been struggling with like, because I'm building a business to sell. Y'all, I'm not gonna say which one but one of them I'm building to sell and I kept getting stuck on like, "Who's buying this? Like, who would buy this?" You know, not in like a negative, it's not worth buying because we have hundreds of members. So it's, you know, it's, it's everything people want, but like, "Who would who would buy it someday." And on the walk, I like got so clear on exactly who would buy it, how much they're buying it for all the things and I was like, and it was so funny because immediately Brad had that his brain was like, "What I was like, it's miracle time". It's miracle tell your brain, this is a miracle. This is not I got, this a miracle. And it was so fun and we have like got a dream board going on. So you can see it all the time. It's a really, I'm really excited about. So, I can't wait to get all that in a bag of chips, like, it is really fun.Hazel Ortega 28:04  You know, follow it up, follow it up with okay, so you created who is going to buy it and how much they're going to pay for it. Okay, so then and then what? What was was going to change for you. Now you're going to have more freedom. Now you're going to travel, you know now what, you now you're going to have a nonprofit. What benefits are there to selling your company? Like all of what your life is going to look like when you sell it? (Lesley: Ah) That's ... golden, the next golden step ...Lesley Logan 28:33  Okay, done. Don't worry, I'll do that homework this weekend ... (Lesley laughs) (Hazel: And that's so much fun) Oh, it's so much fun. Hazel, you're so fun. I just I'm so go... I really when I heard your story, I was like, "We have to have her on" because I just know that there are people sitting there listening and they're stuck. And they keep getting logistical on like logical on their on their things. And, and so they keep listening to inspo. And they're like, "Well, didn't works for them, didn't work for me." And I just had to have you on because like, you are a representation that like, if you put it out there and then and then this is this is like a fun thing. So people are like, so for the people who are being logical. You put this out, you put these miracles out. What is the first thing you did to get the ball rolling on the miracles?Hazel Ortega 29:22  Okay, so, I did these things, subconsciously, I didn't have like a to-do list that would make these things happen. I crea... I created my vision right in my brain. And then I drew it and it become to my house, my drawing is framed and it's in my dining room. And you can see this, it's like, "One day is going to be in the museum of Hazel," right? (Hazel and Lesley laughs) (Lesley: Yes.) And my statue is gonna be there too. (Hazel laughs)Lesley Logan 29:51  Absolutely, I hope it's wearing a red hat. (Hazel laughs)Hazel Ortega 29:55  Okay, so, I drew it and then what happened is that in my real life, I didn't have those things, right. So, I one of the things I also said I wanted was a relationship with my sisters that looked like we were in heaven. At the time when I drew it, I was fist fighting with my sisters. So, I did not have that relationship with them. I was a psychologist, fist fighting with my sister who was a police officer at the time. Okay ...Lesley Logan 30:23  So it's gonna be a TV show, just so you know, this will be a movie. (Hazel laughs)Hazel Ortega 30:29  Yes. And so, what I did was, once I saw it in my brain, when I what I saw in real life was not that and it made me take action. So in the area of money, I took a course, the Dave Ramsey course, I was tired of being broke and paycheck to paycheck. So, I took a Dave Ramsey course to bu... to budget, to learn how to budget, okay, and I even need budget anymore. But by ...Lesley Logan 30:58  ... now, so you know, probably is very helpful.Hazel Ortega 31:02  It was very helpful. And I created a group of women who also wanted to get out of the paycheck to paycheck barely (Lesley: Yeah) making that and start to budget. And then what's your budget? Why do you want to budget? Well, I want to budget because I want to save money. Okay, why don't want to save money? Well, because once I save money, that I want to invest money, I want my money to grow. (Lesley: Yeah) So, I had like the why, why, why? (Lesley: Yeah) became everything's I was doing ... So, and then I named the group of Millionaire Women of Whittier, the city that we live that, and the women in the group were very uncomfortable that I named it women, millionaire women, and they were like, "We don't want to be millionaires." I'm like, "How could you say that?" You know, and so I'm like, "It's just a game. It's just, you know, like for fun?" Well, they were not liking it right now. I started a new group called Billionaire Women's Club. And that one, too, I invited one of my friends to it, and and she's one of my wealthiest friends I have. And she said, "You know, I don't want to be a billionaire." I'm just like, "What is this all about?" ...Lesley Logan 32:02  Have you heard of Rachel Rodgers? She has these "Shmellies" like she millionaires? (Hazel: Oh, no) yeah, she calls these "Shmellies." I don't it's a group that she created. Because she, she wrote a book like, "Everyone's a Millionaire," or "We Can All Be Millionaires" or something like that. So it's, I think, I mean, that's a whole different topic for a different podcast, Hazel, that we could have all these women on to talk about, like, what are women afraid of about being millionaires and billionaires, and I think it's a lot of like, stuff that we were raised with the patriarch. So you know, but I think it's great, the work you're doing, you're doing the Lord's work there. Because it's like, if we can get more and more women to aspire and believe that they can be millionaires or billionaires, like, you know, just imagine what the little girls growing up, get to see as possible, you know, their miracles will be huge. They'll be bigger than ours.I'm telling you, so I learned this technology, right. And now, I, in the last 10 years, I just celebrated my 10 year business anniversary. And, number one, I am still in business, which I've you know, statistically most businesses do not do not last the first five years, (Lesley: Yup) then it's it's a multi million dollar business. So that statistically, is remarkable. (Lesley: Very right. Yeah) It's a miracle. I'm a woman business owner, a miracle, I'm a minority with miracle, you know, and I'm in workers comp... niche where there's, there's, it's a miracle. (Lesley: Yeah) And so I've been able to help 40,000 injured workers with through our counseling to train and get jobs, they love, 40,000. So because I learned this technology, and I changed my life. Now 40,000 people were impacted. And who knows ...Yeah, you're chaning them in bigger ways. So I mean, y'all, I hope you heard that. Like she, she did all this miracle work, miracle mindset. And then she took some action, which is possible. She's like, "Okay, if I want to get better with money, I need to actually know how to be better with if, I want to have money, I better know how to use it. If I want to have relationship with my sisters, I better work on that" like so, I think that's really cool. I mean, Hazel, have to have you back because I could just keep talking to you. But I feel like I'm really excited to go back to my journal and my picture and add to it. Okay, Hazel first before we get to the Be It steps. We're letting people get a pen and paper. How can people follow you, find you get to know, you work with you?I'm on Instagram, @hazelortega_official is my Instagram and a lot of people reach out to me there and ask me questions and everybody can feel free to do that. My website is themasteryofmiracles.com and I have a free visioning guide there that you can use to create your 10 year vision.Oh, I love it. We're gonna put all that in the show notes. So super easy for everyone to just link on through, get that get that freebie and also get mastering your miracles. And definitely follow her on Instagram because it's so fun. I follow you and it's it's it's inspiring. It's really, it's really fun to watch everything that you're doing. Okay, I asked everyone this, because I think it's great to be inspired. But take action is like my thing because messy action is where you know, all the good stuff comes from it allows you to be scared and do it scared because it's messy, don't be perfect. Perfect is boring. So, what would you say to someone who's listening to this? Like, what's the first thing? What's one or two things that they could do right now to have a miracle mindset?I have top three things, (Lesley: okay) okay. ... three things, even though my book has 15 things. (Lesley: Okay) Top three things right now, anybody can do wherever they are in their lives, is create the vision for your life 10 years from now, based on miracles, so miracles have nothing to do with you. It's completely to do with the divine. But you have to create that coming from your heart. What do you want in 10 years? And go big, big (Lesley: Yeah) because ... like, you can't ask for small stuff. (Lesley: Yeah) I mean, this guy did everything around us, right? So, go big. God wants you to have the first test tickets. He wants you to have the love of your life. And he wants you to have everything that you want and the bag of chips, okay? So don't go, don't ask for small things. You have a big God, though, that's one. And then number two, change your environment. So like those people that Lesley mentioned, and I mentioned that are naysayers. That's fine. You don't have to get rid of them. But you do need to find another environment to spend more time there. So if you want to have a successful business, that's over a million dollars, then find the group of those people and hang out with that group. If you don't know anybody in that group, Google them. I'm mentored by JLo. Okay, she doesn't know that but she mentors me. (Hazel and Lesley laughs) ...That's amazing! I want to have like, you need to have like a ... like a sticker or when you put those on the bumper sticker. It's like mentored by JLo.That's right. That's who mentors me ... JLo, Oprah and Jesus Christ. That's what mentors me. So ... (Lesley: It's a great mentorship group) not do that. And then your third, is celebrate your small wins, you, well, we are always evolving and expanding. So our goals change and grow. And then if you're always just changing, you're going up in it and up in it, then you never feel like you quite get there and that you're successful that (Lesley: Yeah) you've been successful. So celebrate the small things and if it is like opening your second location, then celebrate that you even had that creation of that thought, "Wow, I first I never even thought I could have one business. Now I'm thinking of a second business," celebrate the thought, celebrate with your friends.You are 100% accurate on that. I couldn't agree more. And there's so much studies on behavior science that like, "Celebration is so key," our brain pays attention to what we're excited about. The CEO for Pink, she, I just see her in an interview, and she was going in to an FDA approval thing for their, their product. And it was like they got rejected the first time, which was like, just so scary. And they went in they actually appealed it. And the day before the appeals where they had to be like ready to answer all the questions, they partied, they celebrated before. And so it is something that is so key. And y'all she sold that business for $15 billion. So and then got it back. Anyways, that's another story. But like miracle, this is the thing. Miracle mindset is like so so. Oh, we could just keep talking but I just want to ... do you have more things today. Sorry.You're really advanced there because now you're saying, "pre Party," which I love that. And I was saying celebrate. You know when you ...It's a thought. Yeah. And I'm like, "I'm like party before?" Sold! (Lesley laughs)I love it. Yes, yes. That's the advanced version. (Lesley: Yeah) ... we're where we're at, we're beginners, where we are creating a vision. Which we're adding a new environment and celebrating the small wins.Celebrate the small wins. I'm, I am so about that when OPC we just I like say just celebrate even logged in and press play. Even if your kids took you off your mat, or your dog went crazy, just celebrate that you actually open your computer, you logged in, you press play, you skipped all the websites and all the things that could have gotten you there. And that is worth celebrating because your brain will want to find ways to come back to that party. So Hazel, these are such great tips and also just an incredible inspirational story that that I can't wait to, I'm so glad I got to share it because it's really amazing.
