Committed to the global rise of women, she writes weekly inspiration, and packs a punch with her book, You’re Not Lost: An Inspired Action Plan for Finding Your Own Way . .

Here are some of our favorite quotes from You’re Not Lost… “The highest expression of yourself is doing what you want to do how you want to do it—and being as wildly you as possible while you do.” . . “The goal isn’t to be fearless. The goal is to keep fear from running the show.” . “No matter how many pep talks someone gives you or how much inspiration you read on the internet, there’s only one voice that truly matters: yours. Because no matter what’s happening in your life, the only person in your head is you. There is no one else who can control your thoughts but you. No one else’s positive words matter if you’re regularly and continually ripping yourself apart with negative chatter.” . . “That then will never come. Because there’s absolutely nothing that needs to change about you in order to find your way.” RESOURCES: maxiemccoy.com https://maxiemccoy.com/youre-not-lost/

Today’s guest is about to blow you away with this topic. I found Maxie because I was searching for books on Audible about feeling lost, or feeling stuck, or feeling imposter syndrome, because of something I was personally experiencing and questions that I get from so many of you. Her book, "You’re Not Lost" is so impactful because we so often create these stories of why we can’t take action, & we get so caught up in our 5-20 year plans, forgetting that the little things we do along the way are going to be the things that get us where we want to be, and Maxie does an amazing job of breaking this down. I can’t wait for you to hear from her & see what you think! Be sure to TAG us both in your IG stories if you vibe with it! “Figure out what energizes you. The things that bring you more joy, more energy, more excitement than not. It does not have to be an end-all-be-all career goal. And ask yourself what’s the absolute smallest thing I can do about this thing that lights me up, and then let it be small and just go do it.” -Maxie McCoy PUMP-UP JAM: Radio Ga Ga by Queen Dreams by Fleetwood Mac Quotes: “If you are feeling lost right now, its okay. Its OKAY… the feelings of being lost are actually a really powerful place of presence to be in.” “If you’re doing something for the first time, which all of us at any height of success have done something for the first time, you don’t know what you’re doing.” “What is today giving you that just rocks, and how can you love that?” “If you don’t know where you’re going & you don’t know what to do next, just look at what you’ve done. And somewhere in that is the data of what the next step should be.” “That’s the difference between successful people & non-successful people, are the ones that consistently show up and consistently do something that they haven’t done in the face of the unknown, versus someone who just talks about it & thinks about it.” Resources: Connect with Maxie on Instagram @maxiemccoy Get her book on Amazon: You’re Not Lost Get yourself a Mini Trampoline If we aren't connected yet be sure to come hang with me on Instagram @kaciafitzgerald and @empowerHERpodcast or online at www.kaciafitzgerald.com Topic or speaker suggestions?
