Unknown:from knee replacement surgery, things are going really, really
Unknown:well. I cannot wait to update you. I'm going to do that on

Unknown:lessons lessons. And in both episodes, I'll have some updates
Unknown:for you guys. I am still recovering. So I thought I would
Unknown:give myself an opportunity to have a break. And so I wanted to
Unknown:revisit an episode that we ran about a year ago called seasons
Unknown:of change, which I actually think goes really well with the
Unknown:with the theme of transformation. I really, really
Unknown:do because it talks about, you know, sometimes when things get
Unknown:hard, and that can happen through transformation. It
Unknown:certainly can. So I thought it was a really great episode to
Unknown:revisit. How did you all love Elisa Ellis from last week
Unknown:transforming your competence? We had such a great conversation.
Unknown:And I know that there were so many juicy nuggets. So let me
Unknown:know how do you how'd you love that episode. I also wanted to

Unknown:the episode that we're gonna visit today called Stages of
Unknown:Change. Next week, March 29, we're going to have perfection
Unknown:versus excellence as a leader, and ways to stay excellent, my

Unknown:Next week. Everyone take care. Hey there everyone. This is
Unknown:Coach Kelly and I want to welcome you to Episode Nine The
Unknown:eight of let's be honest, before we start pretending, holy cow
Unknown:98, two more episodes, and we are going to be celebrating the
Unknown:100th episode. I am so excited about that i It's like one of
Unknown:those things that I remember I get. I just remember the, you
Unknown:know, we talked about I think it was last week we talked about,
Unknown:are you committed to the idea? Or are you committed to the
Unknown:thing. And so I've just been reflecting so much on that about
Unknown:how long I was committed to an idea of a podcast. And then the
Unknown:things that changed as I committed to the podcast, and
Unknown:just so many amazing, amazing moments, were getting to hear
Unknown:feedback from people and the impact that it has on their
Unknown:life, which really is the whole entire purpose and reason for
Unknown:having it. And you know, there are days where it feels like
Unknown:it's a lot of work. But those days just don't matter after a
Unknown:while when you start hearing about the impact that it's had.
Unknown:And so I've been really blessed to be able to hear some of the
Unknown:messages that some of you guys are sending in, that are really
Unknown:sharing the impact that the podcast has had in your life.
Unknown:And I am so incredibly grateful. And it really inspires me to
Unknown:keep going and lock in to the purpose and why we do this and
Unknown:and keep on creating some content for you guys. That's,
Unknown:that's valuable and really real. So thank you, thank you. It's
Unknown:not too late, there is still time, our 100th episode is
Unknown:coming up in two more episodes. But if you want to leave a 92nd
Unknown:or less message, the link is in the show notes, I would love to
Unknown:hear you can give a shout out to a guest that's inspired you, you
Unknown:could talk about something that you've taken the lead in your
Unknown:life with whatever you want to you might just want to say hi,
Unknown:and congratulations. That's okay, too. I am here for all of
Unknown:it. And I would love for us to celebrate together. So shownotes
Unknown:there's the link. Let's go be a guest Be my guest on the 100th
Unknown:episode. I am so excited for it. So today, I wanted to talk about
Unknown:something that is, you know, really, I think it's so
Unknown:important in life. Because we all have our sort of down weeks
Unknown:or sort of bad weeks are sort of uninspired weeks. And I think
Unknown:oftentimes when that occurs, so much doubt starts kind of
Unknown:creeping in the imposter starts creeping in. And we've talked
Unknown:about that before on on some past episodes. And, you know, we
Unknown:just have tough weeks. Or sometimes there may be something
Unknown:that we know we've got to take on that is gonna really require
Unknown:us to be vulnerable. And we're like, oh, and the doubter creeps
Unknown:in and the imposter creeps in. And we're like, I just don't
Unknown:even know. And maybe I'm just not going to do this at all.
Unknown:Okay, maybe I'm not going to just do this at all. And so you
Unknown:know, it's so funny. I was thinking about that in in the
Unknown:business that I have. And I love it. I love my job. I think it is
Unknown:literally like the best job on the planet. I will say it every
Unknown:single day. I'm actually recording this the day after my
Unknown:birthday. My birthday is March 1, and I worked that day. And
Unknown:some people were like, Why are you working on your birthday,
Unknown:let's do a spa day and I'm here for a spa day to do not get me
Unknown:wrong, and I'm all about self care. And I you know, my
Unknown:response. And I really mean this is I love my job, I really have
Unknown:the best job I get to work with people that are so inspiring and
Unknown:really taking things on in their life that they want to create.
Unknown:And, you know, as I looked at my day, and who I was going to get
Unknown:to be with I'm like, Ah, this is gonna be a great day. And you
Unknown:know what it was, it was such a great day. So I have no idea why
Unknown:I just went down that track. But there you go, that happens with
Unknown:me sometimes. Okay, back to the thing, as I'm taking a look in
Unknown:2022 on things that I want to accomplish, and I've got some
Unknown:what I would call big, hairy, scary goals in front of me. It
Unknown:feels like I'm climbing Mount Everest on a lot of different
Unknown:days. And you know what, that's okay. That's okay. Because I've
Unknown:got resources, I've got people that support me. I am capable,
Unknown:all those things. But man, it is requiring me to go through some
Unknown:seasons that feel tough seasons where I'm like, Oh, I don't know
Unknown:if I'm enough to do this seasons where I'm like, Okay, I know
Unknown:I've got to create like some more visibility so that more
Unknown:people can learn about this work and can create the lives that
Unknown:they want. And I'm here for all of that. That I'll tell you
Unknown:there are some things that literally are it This may sound
Unknown:silly to some people, and that's okay. I'm okay with that. But
Unknown:there's just some things that I'm like, Ooh, I don't want to
Unknown:do so like, I'm just gonna bring it down. One of the things is
Unknown:that visibility, like getting out there, like I have a
Unknown:podcast, and it is. So I'm going to say that it's easy for me to
Unknown:hit record, and send my voice out into the world. Yes. And it
Unknown:wasn't always easy. I remember when it launched, I was like,
Unknown:what if they don't like it? What if nobody listens? What if done?
Unknown:Right? Like, what if they like the judge? Right? It was all
Unknown:that self doubt. All that self doubt that was creeping in. But
Unknown:here's the other thing. You don't see me right? You don't
Unknown:see me? i It's my voice. And yes, it's creating some
Unknown:visibility, but there's not the like, there. You hear me? Okay.
Unknown:So one of my challenges this year is is getting out there and
Unknown:being more visible like I really have some big, really big sea
Unknown:goals not to be confused with seagulls, the bird but seagulls
Unknown:if you remember that, that episode, that are taking me way
Unknown:outside my comfort zone. So it is going to require me to become
Unknown:visible and like, show my face if you will. Now listen, I'm not
Unknown:being hard on myself. I just that certain things like doing
Unknown:reels on Instagram or going live on social media. I have no idea
Unknown:why. But those are the things that I'm like, Lauren, I want to
Unknown:do it today. Not today. Listen, I have I speak I also speak, in
Unknown:my job, I speak for a living and, and I can do that. But for
Unknown:some reason that one while sometimes it's uncomfortable,
Unknown:for some reason that one, I feed off the energy of people. And so
Unknown:like when we're live and in person, I just love it. And we
Unknown:can engage and all that stuff. But I don't know why for some
Unknown:reason doing like a real, or a live video or something where
Unknown:I'm just No, I'm talking to, it's super uncomfortable. And I
Unknown:just start making up all this stuff, or all make up like oh,
Unknown:wait, I don't feel like having a day where I get all juiced up.
Unknown:And my hair just looks perfect. And I put some makeup on and
Unknown:this and that. I don't feel like it today. Okay, but who says
Unknown:that you have to like all these conversations go around in my
Unknown:head that just drive me nuts. Okay, just drive me nuts. Right.
Unknown:And I'm sure people can relate to this, and turn it into
Unknown:whatever big things you have in front of you. But I know one of
Unknown:the things for me is visibility and getting out there. And
Unknown:creating impact, you know, live and in person and all that which
Unknown:honestly, I used to do before the pandemic all the time, but
Unknown:some Boon changed. And it's become hard. So I'm committed to
Unknown:moving it from that conversation that it's hard to, it's
Unknown:uncomfortable. That's the gap I'm working on. Not hard, the
Unknown:easy, just hard to it's uncomfortable. And I'm okay
Unknown:being uncomfortable. And we're going to do the thing until then
Unknown:it becomes easy, right? So that's what's up, or also just
Unknown:having some seasons where things are just hard and you're working
Unknown:so hard and you think you're going to accomplish something
Unknown:and it doesn't happen. Does anyone relate? Like you've
Unknown:worked so hard, you put blood sweat and tears into it your
Unknown:whole soul your whole being? And then it's like, Nope, didn't
Unknown:land. It didn't happen. It didn't work. It is a fail, epic
Unknown:fail, right? And then we make up all this stuff about it. Okay,
Unknown:fail, I don't even know. Like, it's only feedback. That's all
Unknown:it is. And on that journey to success, we're going to have a
Unknown:massive amount of failures that occur along the way. But we're
Unknown:being human. And so we're letting them know. And it'll
Unknown:stop is it'll stop us from moving forward, it'll stop us
Unknown:from even going forward, even trying it on to see if it's
Unknown:fits. Oh, I could go on and on. But this is gonna get
Unknown:depressing. Okay. So I'll just say that recently, there have
Unknown:been while there have been some amazing things that are
Unknown:occurring, there's been this a little bit of a season of heart
Unknown:or disappointment or some other things like that, that have been
Unknown:twirling around in the background. And so it's
Unknown:requiring me to get really vulnerable and really look and
Unknown:see like, what is they're here for me to learn and be curious
Unknown:about it. Now, I just want you to know, you can't go there
Unknown:until you feel your fields. All right. So I want to be really,
Unknown:really clear about that as you've got to feel those fields
Unknown:and not stuffing them because if you stuffed them, it's gonna
Unknown:weigh you down. But you got to feel the feels. You've got to
Unknown:acknowledge what is absolutely true. And then you get to go and
Unknown:get curious about it and look and see what is there here. For
Unknown:me to learn, I'm curious, what is there here for me in the way
Unknown:of being gratitude grateful in the way of being gratitude in
Unknown:the way of being grateful? What is you know, what is this? And
Unknown:so I think you guys have all heard me say this, I, it's
Unknown:really challenging for me to stay in the hard seasons, I am
Unknown:an overly optimistic person really positive, most of the
Unknown:time, I'm a Pisces, we have two moods up, down, and I don't
Unknown:really stay in the down mood very long. And sometimes I do,
Unknown:okay, so the thing that I want you to know, is the key and the
Unknown:access to moving through these seasons where either you're
Unknown:going through a hard season, or you're not hitting the mark,
Unknown:you're not creating those accomplishments that you want or
Unknown:those achievements that you want. Or you know that there's
Unknown:something in front of you that is really like, I don't want to
Unknown:do it. I don't want to do it, but are no, I've got her right,
Unknown:do you hear? I'm telling you, this is how the committee in my
Unknown:head speaks to me. Just like that, just like the voice I'm
Unknown:telling you, okay. The access to moving through those a hard
Unknown:seasons and be
Unknown:going from it's hard to I'm uncomfortable, and I'm going to
Unknown:be okay, being uncomfortable, until all of a sudden, it's not
Unknown:so hard anymore. It's even easy. Making closing those gaps just a
Unknown:little bit at a time is going to require you to be vulnerable,
Unknown:it's really gonna require you to be vulnerable. And most of the
Unknown:time people think that vulnerability is a weakness, I
Unknown:say no, no to that. No, I It's society has taught us that being
Unknown:vulnerable means were weak, it is not, it is literally, in my
Unknown:humble opinion, a world class value of being a leader in your
Unknown:life, the ability to access your vulnerability, and I am going to
Unknown:do an entire episode on that, because it's just so important.
Unknown:Okay, when we are vulnerable, we are then now becoming authentic,
Unknown:and transparent, and we're giving access to the real us.
Unknown:And we're giving ourselves permission to be real, okay?
Unknown:Now, if you're in a dark alley, and you're walking down, and
Unknown:it's pitch dark, and you hear voices behind you, that's a
Unknown:different kind of vulnerability. That's not what I'm talking
Unknown:about here. It's I'm talking about it in a way where we get
Unknown:to access it. So that episode is coming up very soon. And we're
Unknown:going to take a deeper dive into it. And you can take some sort
Unknown:of baby steps into that into being vulnerable by allowing
Unknown:yourself to be in your feelings, and then allowing yourself to
Unknown:get curious about it and what you can what you can learn. And
Unknown:then allowing yourself to give yourself some self love to give
Unknown:yourself some self love to affirm who you really be in this
Unknown:world. And sometimes what you've got to go do is you've got to go
Unknown:back and you've got to listen to feedback, you've got to go
Unknown:listen to for those of you who are entrepreneurs, go look at
Unknown:some of your testimonials from your clients. Okay, you got to
Unknown:lean in to some of the people that are in your trusted circle
Unknown:of support and just ask them, give me Tell me something good.
Unknown:Tell me something good. Okay. And that's not comfortable all
Unknown:the time. But we've got to be vulnerable and allow that in so
Unknown:that we can create this access and this doorway to us self
Unknown:loving. How about that. Because when we start to affirm that for
Unknown:ourself, and I believe I also did an added an episode on
Unknown:affirmations, I'll link that one in the show notes as well. It
Unknown:will begin to lift us up, it will begin to allow us to move
Unknown:from the hard season into the land of this is uncomfortable.
Unknown:And I don't know what I don't know. But I'm so willing to find
Unknown:out and keep moving forward, which will then allow us to move
Unknown:into Oh, wow, I've I've suddenly I have figured some things out
Unknown:have learned a few things. This has now become easier. Because
Unknown:honestly, hard and easy are just conversations. That's what they
Unknown:are. But we don't want to minimize that because sometimes
Unknown:it's just hard. Or sometimes it's just easy. Okay. So
Unknown:there's, there's, there's this pathway into it, if you will. So
Unknown:let me just run through that one more time. When you're having a
Unknown:hard season or when you're up against it. And you know, you've
Unknown:got to take something on, it's just like, Whoa, we're out of
Unknown:your comfort zone, fill your fields, feel them all. Feel
Unknown:those fields, okay? They're important, do not stuffed them
Unknown:because they will weigh you down. And we ain't fooling
Unknown:anybody, especially ourselves. Okay, so you don't want to do
Unknown:that. Right? Feel those fields and then and then when you're
Unknown:ready, and you'll be ready sooner than later. When you're
Unknown:ready, stop and get curious. What is there here for me to
Unknown:learn? Get curious. It's a way of being that is magical. Okay,
Unknown:what is there from need to learn that is going to open up some
Unknown:possibilities for you and give you access to be able to let go
Unknown:of doubt, let go of worry to get present again, to love yourself
Unknown:so that you've got that ability to go ahead and love others. How
Unknown:about that? It really does start with us. It's going to give you
Unknown:that access to whatever is next for you. What's my next step?
Unknown:Where am I going? Where am I being inspired again? Okay, so I
Unknown:want to give you guys a challenge this week. I don't
Unknown:know if there's anybody out there that's going through
Unknown:that's listening, that's maybe having a hard season. Or maybe
Unknown:like, I know, I gotta be taken on something new, but it seems
Unknown:super uncomfortable. Okay, take this on, take this on, give
Unknown:yourself permission. The challenge this week is to give
Unknown:yourself permission to feel your fields. By the way, if you guys
Unknown:everything is going like wooed rock solid A okay in your life,
Unknown:you can still use this strategy, feel your feels? Then get
Unknown:curious about them? What am I learning about this? What's the
Unknown:possibility that's opening up? What are the affirmations that I
Unknown:can affirm for myself? Where you know, what, what am I going to
Unknown:put into place so that my way of being vulnerable is working for
Unknown:me, in working for me and moving forward and removing that doubt
Unknown:and removing that worry, staying present, and slaying those
Unknown:goals? Okay, slaying those goals, you know, we like to slay
Unknown:those goals. Okay. So that's your challenge. That's your
Unknown:challenge. And like I said, it's not just for the people that are
Unknown:like noses hard. This is I'm having a hard season. But my
Unknown:heart is with you right now, because I've just been in a
Unknown:little bit of a hard season. So my heart is with you right now.
Unknown:And I'll probably talk more about that hard season a little
Unknown:bit further when we get into vulnerability. And also, for
Unknown:those of you that are like, I'm actually in this great season,
Unknown:you can use this strategy, you can use this challenge, because
Unknown:the point is not that we have achieved or not achieved. The
Unknown:point is what am I learning along the way, because that, my
Unknown:friends, is growth. And that's what we're here to do. So I
Unknown:invite you into the challenge. Let's go, let's do it together.
Unknown:Okay. Remember, you guys, we have a choice to lead our lives
Unknown:or follow our circumstance. Life is about knowing your passions
Unknown:and your purpose and your values, one being vulnerability,
Unknown:and creating an impact in your life and the life of others. And
Unknown:when we emerge from that we are people that are taking on the
Unknown:taking the lead in our lives, we're authentic, we're
Unknown:vulnerable, we're courageous, we are practicing self love sending
Unknown:that love out into the world. I mean, how cool is that? We are
Unknown:learning, we are growing and we are contributing to others. It's
Unknown:not always going to look the way we think it's supposed to. And
Unknown:we get to trust that more will be revealed as we move forward.
Unknown:So you guys remember, take a pause, let go of worry, let go
Unknown:of doubt. And let's live fully the best version of ourselves.
Unknown:How about that? So you guys, thank you for listening today. I
Unknown:trust there was great value for you. Any questions or anything
