Large or small, we all have traumas, triggers, and moments in our past that we wish we could change. But what if, instead of trying to change the past, we could use it as a springboard to create a better future? With that in mind, my guest on this episode is Alexia Vernon, transformational speaking and women’s leadership expert, coach, and author of Step Into Your Moxie. Having overcome childhood sexual abuse, Alexia is outspoken about owning her past without letting it define her. Tune in as Alexia shares her wisdom around: The role of forgiveness in moving on from those experiences The difference between forgiving and forgetting The importance of self-care and laughter in healing from trauma What you can do when you stop trying to change the past, and start owning it “We can’t predict when an old wound will open. But knowing that we do have the tools and we have the history to look back and say, I’ve been resilient before, I can be resilient again, allows us to get through things a little bit more easily.” Alexia, I can’t thank you enough for everything you shared, both on the podcast and in your interview for my book. For those of you eager for more of Alexia’s insights, I’m excited to announce that my book is officially available for preorder! You’ll also get some exciting preorder bonuses — like journaling pages, exclusive audio content, and one mindset shift — so head on over to ownitallbook.com and don’t miss out.

Can I admit a little secret to you? I was terribly shy as a child. Like, ‘hide in my closet, don't make eye contact, struggle to speak up and talk to anyone' shy. I was perfectly content playing with my Cabbage Patch dolls and journaling by flashlight, with the accordion doors of my closet closed tight. With the outside world shut out, I was ‘safe.' I remember having a profound turning point, around age 12. One day, I heard a whisper in my ear that said, “is this the life you want for yourself? It's time for a change.” And I made the choice… I took one bold step forward and started to speak up, make friends, and find my voice. My special guest would call that MOXIE. Alexia Vernon, shares her secrets about how to step into your ‘moxie' to become an influencer. As Alexia says, “It's time to let go of the stories we are carrying around about who we are” and discover your true moxie once again. In this episode, you will learn: What it means to ‘step into your moxie' & why (some) women struggle to speak up and/or step into the spotlight What the difference is between fear and ‘a sensation' - and how to work through both How to build resilience as a business leader, handling those ‘bum-bum biting moments.' Alexia shares insight on how listening to your intuition can help How to ‘Go for the Holy Yes' when it comes to sales, and how that's the secret to winning bigger clients How to prepare for a tricky conversation with your team and how to prepare for a Facebook Live video or live talk Alexia was such a delight to chat with. She is forever championing women like us to speak up for themselves about issues that matter. When we do this—together as a collective helping one another—we each amplify our voices, our visibility and our influence in the world. Remember - we are better together, alone serves no one. #DoTheThing! Show notes available with all LINKS mentioned here: https://thesimplifiers.com/podcast/047-alexia-vernon

Alexia Vernon is a transformational speaker and leadership coach for women who is also author of the book Step Into Your Moxie. She says, "Whether I am keynoting a conference, leading a Spotlight speaker coaching program or delivering my Step into Your Moxie® curriculum onsite at an organization, my work is showing entrepreneurs, business leaders, consultants and change makers how to fall (back) in love with their voices, unapologetically speak up and out on stages." But getting to this point of teaching women how to use their own voices was a journey for Alexia -- because she had to learn how to fall in love with her own first, which wasn't always easy. On this episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, Alexia shares important insight on how you can fall in love with your voice, create a message that's unique to you and learn how to make speaking a part of your business. 

Moxie For Self TransformationAlexia Vernon - In this age of women's empowerment, as ever increasing numbers of women are finding their voices and daring to take a stand for themselves and their causes. The publication of  https://amzn.to/2TcQqKZ (Step Into Your Moxie: Amplify Your Voice, Visibility, and Influence in the World ) (New World Library, October 16, 2018), by speaking and leadership coach Alexia Vernon, couldn't be more perfectly timed. Through her coaching and training programs and extensive speaking engagements, Alexia was dubbed a “Moxie Maven” by the Obama White House Office of Public Engagement for her robust approach to empowering women. She has helped tens of thousands of individuals speak with power and impact at work and in business, with their friends and family, onstage, on camera, and above all, to themselves. In https://amzn.to/2TcQqKZ (Step into Your Moxie), she distills the communication discoveries she has made throughout her dynamic career into simple, effective, and practical recommendations women can use to experience deep and lasting transformation in all facets of their communication. You'll love her - she's on it with helpful, practical insights!

During the first quarter of my life, I experienced an on-again-off-again relationship — with my voice. One moment I felt like I was tap-dancing on eggshells, striving to be liked, give the right answers, and not be called out for failing to be enough of whatever I conjectured other people wanted me to be. Then at other times, often close to those former times, I had an insufferable need to be recognized and praised for my achievements. I knew I was born to make a significant, positive impact on the world, but only later I learned how to redirect away from thinking about what other people were thinking of me. Now my thoughts drive directly to the objective - the impact that I want to make. In the past most of the time when I spoke my voice quavered, I used diminishing words and body language, and my speaking did not move people to take action." Why Moxie Now?"While shopping Step into Your Moxie to publishers, some of the feedback I received was, 'I'm not sure women's empowerment or citizens' marches and protests will still be a thing by the time the book comes out.' Then, while writing the book, #MeToo and #TimesUp happened, millions of Americans continued to march on behalf of #BlackLivesMatter, #MarchForOurLives, and #KeepFamiliesTogether, and the world changed. However, while women have marched and spoken up and out on behalf of themselves and others, it's one thing to go to a rally or broadcast your views in an angry (or empowering) social media post. It's an altogether different thing to tell yourself, and believe, that you possess the power and ability to advocate for yourself — especially if you are in an environment, professionally or personally, in which the people around you are complicit in maintaining the status quo. Media outlets such as CNN, PBS, and Inc. predicted that 2018 would be 'the year of the woman,' but how many of us really feel like we have the moxie we need to consistently speak up, tell our truth, and create the future we want for ourselves and our loved ones? In Step into Your Moxie, I give women a pathway to cultivate their power so they can use it to speak up for themselves and the issues and causes that matter most to them. As I say in the book when you step into your moxie, it is an act of divine service to yourself—and also to the world."...

How are you feeling about yourself these days?   I always find that as the months countdown and the year begins to pack up its things and leave, I start to get mad at myself for all the things i didn’t accomplish and all of the things I wasted time on instead.   Today’s episode is all about that voice in your head - the one telling you that you’re not good enough, worry enough, or even “ready” enough to speak up for things, chase after success, or take charge of projects that sometimes you doubt you can handle.   This week’s guest is Alexia Vernon, she’s a public speaker, coach, and the author of the book: Step Into Your Moxie.   We chat about: *What to do when you struggle with wanting everyone to like you. *How our communication determines our outcomes in professional and personal situations *How to flip the switch on our self talk *How to deal with nerves and body language when we are in situations that make us feel uncomfortable *The power of slowing our exhales and taking up space with our bodies *How to deal with the critic inside of your head   “Worry less about people liking you and more about them respecting you.”   “Everything happens for you not to you.”

In an articulate and vulnerable voice, Alexia shares her experience of postpartum depression and child sexual abuse and how these darker moments brought her to truth and clarity. In her work as a leadership coach, she weaves in these personal narratives to inspire strength and develop the resiliency necessary to navigate the many experiences of failure.  Find out more about Alexia @: www.alexiavernon.com www.stepintoyourmoxie.com And you can connect with Alexia @: http://www.facebook.com/AlexiaVernonEmpowerment http://www.linkedin.com/in/alexiavernon http://www.twitter.com/alexiavernon http://instagram.com/alexiavernon/

Have you ever felt like you were tap dancing on eggshells - striving to be liked, give the right answers, and not be called out for failing to be enough of whoever others wanted you to be?

To do big things. You want to be seen, you want to make impact, and that often feels scary. One of my biz besties, Alexia Vernon, knows this tension firsthand. Even as she built a successful career as a professional speaker and speaking coach, she experienced an on-again, off-again relationship… with her own voice. … despite presenting transformational keynotes and corporate trainings for Fortune 500 companies, speaking at the United Nations, delivering a TEDx talk, and being featured on CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, Forbes.com, and tons more.

Urban Dictionary Definition - It Means A Person Full Of Energy, Pep, Courage Or Determination. Google Definition - force of character, determination, or nerve. "when you've got moxie, you need the clothes to match" Who is Alexia Vernon Branded a “Moxie Maven” by President Obama’s White House Office of Public Engagement for her unique and effective approach to empowering women’s professional success, Alexia is the author of Step into Your Moxie: Amplify Your Voice Visibility, and Influence in the World.

Think with Moxie Reduce negative self talk in order to create clear, confident and compelling interpersonal communication Connect with Moxie Develop the muscles to use heart-centered, high-impact communication when stakes are high, emotions are strong and opinions differ. Present with Moxie Present dynamically - whether to staff, clients, funders, internal stakeholders and community partners or at conferences and industry events Influence with Moxie Set all parties up for success, using direct communication, responding both to anticipated and unforeseen resistance, and finding creative ways to get all parties on board with a proposal. Traci's Takeaways Pay attention to your words. Filler words and statements like “I feel like…” I just need a minute of your time” and “In my opinion…” can diminish the value of what you’re saying! Don’t let negative self talk keep you from talking with confidence. There is a big difference between being humble and over apologizing.

About a year ago I entered an online contest, something that I’d never done before.  I’m not really one for playing the lottery or “entering to win,” but this one spoke to me.  It was a challenge to do 5 livestream videos, each one sharing a different part of my life story in a vulnerable, honest, and “naked” way. The grand prize was a free ticket to attend a public speaking intensive for women leaders hosted by Alexia Vernon in Las Vegas.  And I won! And thus began my love affair with Alexia (Lex) Vernon, who is a big-hearted, brilliant, ambitious woman on a mission to help women step into their moxie and share their voices powerfully from any stage. Lex has built a successful speaking and training career, as well as being an author with a new book coming out later this year, by really using courageous storytelling to make a difference in her community and beyond. I LOVED chatting with her on today’s show and I know you’ll get a ton out of it as well. We talk about: What is MOXIE and how you can have more of it Moving from total humiliation to powerful public speaking Managing your fear so it doesn’t stop you from speaking effectively Women’s leadership and becoming the breadwinner Postpartum depression and how she moved through it More about Lex and her work: Branded a “Moxie Maven” by the White House Office of Public Engagement, Alexia Vernon has dedicated her life to empowering women to speak with moxie on stage, at work and in their personal lives. As a speaking coach, she leads the Spotlight Speakers Collective, numerous virtual speaking training programs, and she consults with companies looking to develop a strong female leadership pipeline.
