The Journey of Belief, Season 2, Episode 50!  This episode is sponsored by IdentityMagazine.net, an online magazine empowering you to transform through self-acceptance, appreciation, and personal achievement—The A-Game Formula and approach.  Because of the Identity Magazine platform, Susan started her career in self-improvement and coaching and has empowered hundreds of thousands of women through the online platform, retreats, conferences, workshops, books, coaching, and this podcast. The Journey of Belief was built because Susan discovered her identity through self-acceptance, appreciation of her life, the good and the bad, and learning how to celebrate her daily successes. Remember this... Once you make a decision, every moment forward from that decision, you break through a level of belief. Let's look at the journey of belief in creating a profitable business: I'll share my personal roadmap… I had to believe I could launch a business, so I built my magazine in-between my 9-5 I had to believe I could make money as an entrepreneur, so I started practicing selling. Then I had to believe I could be a full-time entrepreneur, so I first went part-time, kept practicing selling, and started to bartend and sold booze and food all weekend long. Then I had to believe I could make money consistently, that was scary. I then had to believe I could write a book Then position the book and turn it into a touring workshop It was about 10 years ago I gave up all side hustles and went full-time entrepreneurship. Then I had to believe I could become a speaker. I had to believe that I would be okay after my 1st speaking gig and not die or feel like a fool Then I had to believe I had value to share Then I had to believe I could earn as a speaker Then I got paid for 9 years speaking and earning 6 figures but I still had to work on my belief that I was worthy of it Every inch forward takes an ounce of belief over and over and it never ends. When you want something to achieve, I'll tell you that you gotta be willing to believe over and over and let that compound—allow it to compound so you build a belief foundation. Because that is one of the secret sauces to success. Looking to build your belief within your MomLife + BizLife? Join Mindset + Achieve™ and learn the foundational steps to build belief and learn how it plays a crucial role in reaching your Mompreneur goals.

Study upon study proves that moderate, frequent exercise has many physical and health benefits. However, it is important to examine the ways in which diet and fitness culture are entangled and thus how exercise may be a toxic force in our lives.
