If you feel like life is happening to you instead of for you, it might be that you are not taking personal responsibility. When we continually blame our external circumstances for how we feel internally, we become disempowered. So, how do you get back in the driver's seat of our lives? By taking personal responsibility! Today's guest, Lindsey Mango, is the poster child for personal responsibility, and in this episode, we hear about taking charge of your life. Of course, there are so many things that are out of your control, and personal responsibility is not about trying to control everything. Instead, it is about understanding how you respond to things, the stories you create in your head, and the role you play in shaping your life. Lindsey offers insights into the different things that have to be in place in order to take responsibility for things, the importance of wanting to be proven wrong, and what the payoff is when you no longer play the victim. We end off the conversation by asking Lindsey some listener questions. Tune in to hear it all!Key Points From This Episode:The story of how Lindsey got into coaching.A look into the scale of the business Lindsey has managed to build.How Lindsey came to have such a high level of personal responsibility.An example of how Lindsey's father taught her about personal responsibility.Defining what personal responsibility is.Some of the signs that you are not taking personal responsibility in your life.Challenges that Lindsey has seen her clients face when it comes to taking personal responsibility.The phases Lindsey believes people go through before they take full responsibility in their lives.The importance of feeling what you feel when something difficult happens.You have to want to be wrong if you are going to take personal responsibility.A story of how Lindsey has overcome a recent limiting belief.Responsibility is not an end destination; it's a continuous journey.A sign that shows you that you are taking a lot of personal responsibility.The payoff that comes with taking personal responsibility.How to get back to a place of passion and connection with your partner.What Lindsey does to continually raise the bar despite achieving so much.Evaluating why you want your partner to change.Who Lindsey would choose to coach if she could choose any clients in the world.What's next for Lindsey.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Work with ChrisGoodman CoachingChris GoodmanLindsey MangoAnything but Average Lindsey Mango on Instagram

Our guest on today's show is not only a passionate nurse practitioner but also the first African American president of the Alabama State Nurses Association. Dr. Lindsey Harris feels that this is a role wherein she can make a very meaningful impact; out of the approximate three million nurses in the USA, only around 279,000 of them are black, and Lindsey hopes to inspire many more people of color to join the nursing profession. Helping others is what makes Lindsey feel fulfilled, but she knows that in order to look after others she also needs to look after herself, as do all other healthcare heroes. Lindsey sees nursing as a holistic art, is unafraid of a challenge and is endowed with the special skill of being able to bring people and organizations together. In this episode we discuss all of the above, as well what Lindsey's job entails, her recommendations for continuous learning, the value of networking, tips for communicating with management, and the philosophy that she lives by.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Lindsey Ellison, and we discuss the ways we cope with trauma and pain. We all have pain points, and it is important to understand the origins of our pain points and why we are addicted to the pain itself. She talks about her personal battle with alcoholism, why she had a breakdown, and how she decided to take the next treatment step. Lindsey speaks about her journey with deep trauma work, her experience with relationship death, and how she previously diminished her pain. Trauma+fear+wounds=addiction is the formula that we are often working with. Lindsey helps us understand how this process plays out in our lives. Our fear and trauma fuel our addictions without even being aware of their presence. Listen in to learn about why it is critical to look closely and deeply at our pain and what it is teaching us about our underlying needs, our inner-child work, and our unresolved trauma.  (Please listen to the podcast episode or read the transcript to hear explanations, stories, and examples.)   Bio:  Lindsey Ellison is a relationship coach and founder of Start Over Coaching, Inc., a coaching practice dedicated to helping people navigate their divorce or break up. Lindsey also specializes in helping people break free from narcissistic abuse, and is the author of the best selling book, MAGIC Words: How to Get What You Want from a Narcissist. You can find Lindsey on her popular podcast, Unbreakable You: Breakup Without Being Broken.    In this episode, Lindsey and Dr. Jessica Higgins discuss:  Why we are addicted to the pain in our relationship How we form habits to deal with the source of our pain The factors of co-dependency and how this affects who you are How Lindsey created her blueprint of pain The role of defense mechanisms in adulthood How our trauma feeds into the fear cycle The adult child and how we use habits to maintain our fear and trauma What Lindsey learned around her deeper need for trauma and fear How to manage the pain of your inner child daily Triggers and why we need to avoid them Why we need to give attention to, not judge, our wounds How the little “t’s” affect your emotional health over time The process of finding out the “I am nots” and how to overcome these false beliefs and triggers   Mentioned:   Hold Me Tight the book   Hold Me Tight Workshop   Connect with Lindsey Ellisen   Magic Words: How to Get What You Want from a Narcissist    Lindsey Ellisen on the web Magic Words workbook   Connect with Dr. Jessica Higgins:   Facebook: facebook.com/EmpoweredRelationship  Instagram: instagram.com/drjessicahiggins  Podcast: drjessicahiggins.com/podcasts  Pinterest: pinterest.com/EmpowerRelation  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/drjessicahiggins  Twitter: @DrJessHiggins  Website: drjessicahiggins.com   Email: jessica@drjessicahiggins.com Get access to my new group coaching starting in January.

Lindsey Hearts creates and implements campaigns for new book releases as well as ongoing communications and marketing strategies for authors. Her extensive experience in corporate marketing, social media strategy helps provide marketing tools to a ministry-focused world. She and I are chatting about faith-based books and faith-based marketing. When she looks back over the years of her career, she can see how purposeful her path has been to bring her to the present. About 19 years ago, she started her career in the corporate marketing world, working in business management, project management, and marketing for a Fortune 500 company. She loved her job; however, she made the decision to leave her career and stay at home because of personal events. Being in the corporate world was not life-giving to her. Lindsey identifies this time as "having my identity stripped away." For the last ten years, she has been seeking out her skills and gifts to ultimately mesh these in a career to honor God, honor family, and staying at home. As a creative, she sees the world through a lens of beauty and creation. Through writing, she was able to tap into wounds and hurt growing up and really find a way for hope, healing, and purpose in those moments for other people. After reflecting, she pulled all her work off the internet. Instead, she wanted to leave a legacy and to inspire people the hope that she had found. Through this journey, she became connected with online branding, organizations, speakers, and other authors. She noticed that while they were talented writers, they didn't understand the marketing world. Listen in to find out why the biggest challenge is to find out how to identify your message, her clients' biggest struggle, and how she gives her clients a shift in mindset.

How one woman turned her people pleasing tendencies into her greatest assetThis week’s episode is one that I believe a lot of you want and need to hear. This week’s guest is deeply and truly authentic, someone who truly cares about each person she encounters—her name is Lindsey Shwartz. In a filtered world where only highlight reels are shared, people pleasing and living up to an unrealistic reality is a constant pressure. Lindsey digs deep into her inherent tendencies of people pleasing, how she worked through her self-doubt, and the journey it led her on to create a community of love, support, honesty, and compassion. Listen to this week to hear the captivating story of how an Enneagram 9 evolved and faced her unhealthy aspects to truly embrace herself and turn her “flaws” into her greatest strengths. Listen nowYour environment will either push you or paralyze you Lindsey Shwartz shares the version of herself several years ago—a woman who was working at 70% of her potential, which looked like 150% of most people’s, and gaining recognition and awards as a result. A tiny voice inside of her was calling her to greatness, to exert herself to 100%, but her environment failed to push her. She shares the significant moments of being called to action, being challenged by criticism, called out by strangers, and how this led to her writing a book, her in depth soul searching, and her recognition of her strengths. Getting out of your own way and into actionLindsey discusses that while she was sifting through her own people pleasing tendencies and self-doubt, she watched numerous women in her life stop short of pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams because of their own fear and self-doubt. She shares how this helped her identify a need for more honest conversations about the trials and successes of entrepreneurship, and to show that you don’t need to have it all together to get started. Today, Lindsey has grown a community of women that gives permission to show up in your glorious self and encourages you to step into your gifts that make you uniquely you. Lindsey ShwartzLindsey Schwartz is an entrepreneur, top podcast host, and best-selling author. As a sought-after speaker, Lindsey travels around the world inspiring women to get out of their own way and into action around their big ideas and helping them create the careers they’ve always dreamed of. She grew the Powerhouse Women community, annual event, and podcast, with the motto that we're not meant to do business (or life) alone! “What [Lindsey] realized in this people-pleasing is until she let go of that, she was not going to be able to do what she was called to do.” 5:17“When people tell me ‘fix me, I’m broken, there’s something wrong with me,’ I’m like ‘no, no, no, no, there’s nothing wrong with you, this is who you needed to be to take you to the next level.’” 8:08“The only way to find what you’re actually capable of is to throw yourself into something that you have no business doing.” 13:00 -Lindsey“You Enneagram 9’s listening, your voice and your opinion matters, I know that’s the biggest fear of a 9, and when you actually use it, you are Yoda.” 16:16“That feeling of ‘crap, am I the one to do this’ is actually how you know you’re going in the right direction.” 20:02 -Lindsey “The first time you don’t ‘people-please,’ because you’ve conditioned the people in your life to accept that you’re a people pleaser, it comes with a lot of backlash.” 27:25“I thought I had to become less of a people pleaser to be successful. I thought I had to care less… but actually the fact that I care and it’s authentic to my core is what has made me so successful.” 33:31 -Lindsey“You know your intention and it was out of love and between you and our maker at the end of the day I know that you know that you did it out of love for yourself which is important.” 38:51“Everything we do is either out of fear or love. If we know it’s out of love, then we can have high involvement in the process but a low attachment to how it’s received.” 40:30“I’m not serving anyone if I’m not sharing that full side of [my light].” 49:01

As an English major and Benjamin Franklin Honors Scholar, I continued devouring every book and magazine I could get my hands on and dreaming up stories (most of which didn’t take place along the Oregon Trail). Post-college, I shipped out to bucolic Vermont to teach creative writing and Pilates to high school kids at a summer arts camp. There, I picked blueberries, ran across rolling hills, and realized I was not nearly mature enough to be teaching anyone much of anything. And so I moved to Manhattan and broke into magazine publishing, starting at Glamour and then moving on to Redbook and next Self, where I was Features Editor. I worked on stories about relationships and sex, parenting, social activism, career and finances, and well-being; I interviewed the occasional V.I.P. (including Michelle Obama and both Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton, a.k.a. Coach and Mrs. Taylor for Friday Night Lights fans); and I gathered material for what would eventually become my debut novel, PRETTY IN INK. After nearly a decade in publishing, I decided I was finally ready to try my hand at teaching again. So I waved goodbye to magazines and began my Master’s of English Education at Teachers College, Columbia University. I took classes on Shakespeare and adolescent literature, and talked books with teenagers. I then joined the faculty of NEST+m, a Manhattan public high school, as the A.P. Literature and Creative Writing teacher, plus advisor of the literary magazine, the yearbook, and National Honor Society. During my three years of teaching, I aspired to be a slightly more down-to-earth reincarnation of my favorite fictional teacher, Miss Jean Brody. These days, I work as a scriptwriter at BrainPOP, an animated educational site for kids. I spend my days researching topics as diverse as Nuclear Fusion, Emily Dickinson, and the Tuskegee Airmen, and then translating what I’ve learned into an engaging, narrative format. My scripts get made into short films to be shown in classrooms grades 4-10, nationwide and around the world. I live in Brooklyn, NY with my husband and 1-year-old daughter.

I'm SO excited to have my friend Lindsey Rago on the podcast today! In Lindsey's words: "I am a fitness coach who works with women to help them cultivate self confidence across all areas of their life. I work from the outside in, helping my clients take control of their body first by creating one they love; I then challenge them to turn inward and work with them to break through internal barriers so that they can create new patterns that cultivate self love, self worth, and self awareness. I created my brand after making my own 45lb weight loss transformation and taking the bodybuilding stage, which is something I NEVER thought I could do. I then took a big leap by moving out to California and stepping away from my typical 9-5 career path in engineering to pursue this career focused in service." -- Timeline: [00:05:53] Lindsey joins the show [00:07:11] What Lindsey does, how she got there, and her story [00:26:38] Transitioning from strict tracking to intuitive eating [00:35:25] Tools for building confidence [00:44:46] How to elevate your mindset [00:54:40] Faith & spirituality -- Apply to Living Lean U: www.lindseyragofitapply.com Lindsey's website: www.lindseyragofit.com Follow Lindsey on Instagram @raygobomb -- Mentions: You are a badass at making money: https://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Badass-Making-Money/dp/0735222975 Way of the warrior: https://www.amazon.com/Way-Warrior-Ancient-Inner-Peace/dp/1601429568 -- Apply to Ashley's 6-month mastermind, the Heart Biz Mastermind: ashley638.typeform.com/to/SI3xHS Book a FREE 20-minute discovery call with Ashley: app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php…Type=8022769 Sign up for Ashley’s Newsletter: app.convertkit.com/landing_pages/163213?v=6 Ashley’s website: www.ashleypardo.com Follow Ashley on social @ashleykpardo Subscribe to Ashley’s YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/user/ashleykathrynpardo

A loyal Group X member stays for a number of reasons, but above all else, its the connection to a community and the personal relationships that are made inside the room. New advances in virtual and live streaming classes can help serve all club members at their deepest needs, and beyond the use of technology, Lindsey reminds club owners to not overlook the simple yet effective changes of class music and lighting which can prove a tremendous impact on the member experience and support retention. With the pace of change and technology options rising for Group X, Lindsey believes the most important thing is to slow down and begin evaluating what’s currently working by surveying members on how you might improve. In club operations on and off the group X and fitness floor, Lindsey reminds us that there is power in the pause.  Power Quotes From Lindsey "With so many moving pieces to manage in a successful Group X program, I urge club owners to focus on the cost of losing a loyal member who participates in Group X buffed up against the cost of a new member acquisition. A loyal Group X member stays for a number of reasons, but above all else, its the connection to a community and the personal relationships that are made inside the room." -  Lindsey Rainwater on the Fitness + Technology Podcast "Technology's ability to impact the Group X space happens with social media as instructors take the lead by posting pictures of classes and tagging happy members. Whether gamification was integrated inside the class or not, members can both compete and compare, which creates the base for them to return." - Lindsey Rainwater on the Fitness + Technology Podcast Resources Mentioned From Lindsey Lindsey Rainwater's website Lindsey Rainwater on LinkedIn Lindsey Rainwater on Twitter Lindsey Rainwater on Slide Share  Lindsey Rainwater on Instagram The Most Important Fact Every Organization Must Realize Group X: Boost Your Group Fitness in 2017 With These Tips How To Win Friends And Influence People Never Eat Alone Good To Great Apple News Tech Crunch App 2017 Forbes Top Technology Trends Lindsey's Contribution In the 2017 FIT-C Tech Trends Report Support This Podcast Leave a 5 star review on iTunes Share this episode with someone you care about Contact FIT-C for podcast sponsorship and partnership opportunities  Download the 2017 Tech Trends report Thanks To Our Outstanding Sponsors Bryan O’Rourke and his family of companies including Vedere Ventures, Integerus Advisors, and many more.
