So I look forward to hearing more about that.

She is a life and mindset coach.

So welcome Dalia to the program.

Thanks for being here.

Thank you so much for having me.

I'm excited for our conversation today.

Yeah, me too.

So let's start with your story.

Um, what kind of inspired you to become a life and mindset coach?

Is there a story behind maybe something that happened to you?

Yeah, so my background is actually in psychology.

Um, I had done a bachelor's degree in psychology and then a master's degree in

organizational behavior and development.

And I thought I wanted to go like along more along the corporate route

and kind of, um, you know, coaching more kind of in organizations.

And I realized I'm always just connected back.

Like I'm such a, I'm such an introvert and I'm also such a people's person

at the same time, like I feed off people's energy and I just realized

all the time, like even with friends or people I'm around, I'm like always.

Helping people to kind of break the blocks that are stopping them, getting from

where they are to where they wanna get to.

And it just felt, coaching just felt like really aligned 'cause it was building off

of the psychology and like humor mind.

And that was something that's always, until today really fascinates me.

But I think I was really just passionate about finding a way to help people

get from A to B in a practical way and not necessarily the psychology

which kind of focuses more on the past and on like the patterns around that.

And I'm not saying that coaching doesn't as well, but I found, I found that

coaching was always more practical.

Um.

And yeah, I like, I'd done a few different things in between and then I kind of went,

felt like, fell into the coaching world, um, back in COVID in like 20 19, 20 20.

Um, I also, like everything obviously transitioned online there and I was

like, I'm just gonna get started and see kind of what's out there.

And for a while I was on, I, I went on my own and tried to figure out, and, and

lot of the time I was just like hiring other coaches and trying to kind of

copy from them and see what was working and following someone else's blueprint.

And it's only today, probably like five, six years later that I'm looking back

and just realizing how much of my own journey is like breaking through and not

following anyone else's path, like getting inspired by it, but not using that.

Like if it works for them, it's necessarily gonna work for me because

every single person is so different.

And even until today I'm still like, there's still coaches that I've worked

with until recently and they're like, this is what you need to do, or you need to

do that, or that's how it's gonna work.

And I'm just always questioning like, is this right for me?

Is this right for who I'm working with, for my personality, for

what fill aligned with me?

And I think that's something like, I so wish I would've known at the

beginning, like, there is no right way.

There's no right path.

There's no right or wrong.

And you've gotta learn to always trust yourself and have

your own back in this process.

Um, one of my coaches, that, one, I say one of my coaches because I

really strongly believe as a coach, you also need your own coaches to

break your own beliefs as well.

And one of my coaches says she was like, entrepreneurship and.

Being a coach and running your own business is literally

like the personal development.

Also, you never knew you were signing up for or never knew you needed.

And it's so true because it will bring up so many things and it will

make you face all of your, you know, all of the things that are coming up.

But essentially when you do that, you can actually be so, so much more powerful and

help people along their journeys as well.

So this is kind of like, um, on a tangent around coaching.

Um, but yeah, I originally got into that and I think there's,

I think there's so many ways to.

Coach and to get coached and to get into, um, get into this realm.

So that's a little in a nutshell.

Again, I can go on tangents, but I wanna give you the space to, to take

the conversation where we wanna take it.

I love that.

I love that.

Yeah.

You're not the first person to start online at COVID.

And to be honest, when we.

We were coaching before that and we were trying to get people to get on video calls

on Zoom, and they were like, no, no, no.

You know, oh, my hair doesn't look good or I don't look good on camera.

And um, one thing that did good thing that did come out of COVID

was that everybody became a lot more comfortable being, you know, on Zoom.

But I love your concept about, you know, and, and totally wholeheartedly

agree, coaches need coaches.

Um, because sometimes people can see more than.

What's in front of them.

Um, you know, as a coach you can see more about what I'm talking about and

kind of help me get to where I wanna go.

Um, you said something too about, um, personal development.

Oh yeah.

I guess just about, you know, your journey to where you are

now and, and it, it really is.

A case of personal development.

You're so right.

You know, in there are a lot of things I wish I had known now that I wish I

had known back then that I do know now.

Um, but there's also a lot of things I think you just have to learn sometimes

you've gotta, you've gotta get through them, but you know, it's always nice to

have somebody to help you fast track that.

Yeah.

Yeah, for sure.

A hundred percent.

And I think if you don't learn.

From, like I always say, it's great for other people to tell you what to do or

what not to do in life in general, not even in just in coaching, but until you

don't actually go through it yourself and learn on your own skin, like the mistakes

that you're gonna make and, and lessons along the way, you're not gonna embody it.

You're not gonna integrate it 'cause it's like someone else's

lesson that you are learning through them and it just never works.

It's like you've gotta learn it and go through it yourself to

actually really embody the lesson and learn from that moving forward.

Absolutely.

So tell me a little bit about what type of clients you work with.

Is there any, anything that's, um, the same about them?

So are they a particular demographic or are they corporate, or are

they, um, independent, um, entrepreneurs like solopreneurs.

Um, yeah, so some of them are entrepreneurs.

Some are not necessarily like, I wouldn't necessarily say it's just entrepreneurs.

I've actually narrowed it down recently and again, this is something that

I really believe comes with time.

Also shifts as you are growing.

I, I think as we're evolving, as humans, as we're growing,

we're always going to shift.

And while we essentially started isn't necessarily always gonna be in

alignment because we're always growing.

So when I first started coaching back in the day, I was literally

coaching around breakups and helping women who like literally were in

that space because that's where I connected my journey back to.

And I was like, that's how I can help people the most.

And I know what it's like to be in that space and I also know what

it's like to get to the other side.

And that's what was like kind of calling me into, like into that.

And then over time I started getting into more health and fitness coaching and I've

actually been partnering with a, I've been working with a company for the last.

Four years now I'm working with them and doing health and fitness coaching

and at the same time, um, working on building like my own thing as well.

And what I'm essentially doing at the moment, what I'm working on is essentially

the, the clients that I'm calling in and essentially working with, going back to

your question is people who feel like the black sheep and they follow wanting to

do unconventional things in life, or not necessarily follow the traditional route,

or they're done with just like doing what they think they should be doing.

Or what they're expected to do or what other people want them to do, and

they know that they're meant for more.

They know there's something else out there, but they often feel

like misunderstood or that other people around 'em don't get them.

And they have this knowing that there's more, but they don't

necessarily have to go after that or even what that looks like.

So the first thing I really help people with is essentially gaining

clarity on what that even looks like.

What is it that you want?

Like, how often do we stop and ask ourselves those questions?

What is it that we want?

Yeah.

That's so funny.

I can totally relate to that.

'cause when I worked in corporate, um, I loved my job.

I had a great job.

I worked for MTV networks.

It was fun.

It was full of smart people who were fun.

There were just people who were thriving in that environment

and I just wasn't one of them.

It was hard for me.

I was pushing, pushing and, and you wonder, is it fear that I'm not, you

know, moving forward or is it really something that's just not aligned?

And I think now I know it just wasn't aligned.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I can totally relate to that as well.

And I think as well, like.

The, I think the, the effort, like the, the concept in itself, the black

sheep, what I found from my life often comes with a very negative connotation

of like, you're selfish or you're the rebel, or, but you are not a black

sheep and you are part of the, like, you're part of something bigger and all

of these things, and I don't think it has anything to do with anyone else.

It's like I see it as someone who knows they don't necessarily want to follow

the same path or the same route that they're expected to or that everyone

else is doing, and they actually have the courage to go after that.

So essentially I help people to tap into that courage because I really believe

that everyone has that inside and that when you share that light, when you share

your gifts with the world, everyone gets the benefit because you are winning and

living your best life and in alignment, and everyone around gets the benefit

from the light and everything that you're sharing with the world as well.

Um.

So I really help people to like gain clarity on what it's they want, and

then have the confidence, grow the confidence to actually go after it.

Because what often happens, what I found also in my own life, is that you get

clear on what it is you want and then you get all excited and you start to go

after it, and then you hit a brick wall.

Because either someone else's opinions will pull you back and you don't yet

have the confidence that you can go after it, or your own self-doubt will start to

kick in, and then you'll start to second guess yourself and all of those things.

So it is definitely a process around like a lot of mindset work and a

lot of energetic work and a lot of.

Identity work.

Um, and also sur I think who you're surrounding yourself

with is so, so powerful.

And that's why I'm in the process as well.

Like one of my visions is creating a community which I'm essentially

calling the Pink Sheep Society, like you said at the beginning.

Um, and I feel like if we're on video, I'm on brand state.

Um, but the reason I'm calling it the Pink Sheep Society is apart from the

fact that anyone who knows me, I love the color pink and I'm obsessed with

it, and I, I own that unapologetically.

I really do believe that the black sheep, going back to what I said before, has

a very negative and dark connotation.

And I think pink sheep is like almost bringing up the color and bringing up

the light and bringing out the joy that people have to share with the world.

So I think when people are really nor like surrounded by people who

are normalizing for them what's possible and what they can go after.

It's so much easier to go after all you want because it's not like you're

the outsider or you're the odd one out.

It's like there's other people around you who are also going after unconventional

and non-traditional things, and it is so powerful to be surrounded by the

right people to really uplift you and to normalize, um, what's possible as well.

And.

Even when I'm looking back in my life, like I'm now a digital nomad

and I'm living in Thailand, and that isn't necessarily what a lot

of people around me were doing.

And I realized through my own journey just the power of community and the

power of being surrounded by like-minded people, especially if you're doing things

that most people aren't doing or most people might not have the courage to do.

Like it, take it, it will bring up a lot of things and who you are surrounded

by and what you're consuming and all of those things, um, really do make a

big, big difference in moving forward.

Yeah, absolutely.

And, and there's an energy with people when, when they're all excited

about what they're doing and you're excited about what you're doing.

So, um, count me in on your society.

I'm there.

Yes.

Heck yes.

I love that.

Yeah.

Um, you know, I totally agree that it is so important to

surround yourself with people.

Oh, I was gonna say, as a coach, don't you love that aha moment when you're

talking about something and the person's kind of thinking about it and thinking,

and all of a sudden they go, that's it.

That feels so good and so easy.

And then sometimes they think.

Well, it's too easy.

It can't be that easy.

And I think, um, you know, if you're doing the right thing and

you're aligned with it, it, it can be easy or at least it can flow.

It's always challenges, but when it, when it flows, I feel like you, you know it.

Do you agree?

Yes.

And I think when you are out of alignment, you know it as well without necessarily

realizing it, but everything feels off.

When, when thing I always say like.

You, I, I really believe in hard work to get to where you wanna get to, but

there's a difference in putting in effort and working hard and doing what you need

to get to where you wanna get to, and doing it from a place of ease and flow

and alignment versus from a place of force and pressure and I need to do this

and, and like all of that intense energy.

It doesn't have to be that way.

And I think a lot of us.

From society are taught, like we almost get a badge of honor for working hard and

for being under pressure and for being disciplined and all of these things.

And it's like, it's very masculine energy.

And I think only since I started studying like energetics and really understanding

the feminine and the flow and that you can do things from a different energy.

Like there's so much power in that.

To let go to like, have that trust and it, some, so many

people think, like, have trust.

It's like just sitting back and, you know, meditating and pooping

is gonna fall from the sky.

It's not about that at all.

It's about taking the action, but then actually letting go and

surrender into that, you know?

Um, and not like being in that, like, pressure never gets any of us anywhere

apart from like having a lot of mental blocks and, and things around that.

But yeah, there's, there's a different way to do things and it doesn't mean

that you're not working to get to where you wanna get to, but it gets

to be from a very different energy.

And I really believe that the energy behind our action impacts

everything on where we get to anyway.

Because if you're coming from like an energy of that, like that,

that unease and the force and the pressure, you're never gonna enjoy

the process to get there anyway.

So it's like, what's the point to get to where you wanna get to and suffer

along the way where you can just bring more joy and more flow and more ease

into the process and get to where you wanna get to at the same time.

Beautiful.

I love that.

So, so you mentioned something about, um, like meditating.

Do you have like a favorite like ritual or tool or something that

um, maybe our listeners could use to kind of, if they know they're not

in flow, to kind of give them like their first step in that direction?

Um, yeah.

I think for me personally, journaling works and I've actually run a lot of

journaling workshops for clients as well.

So it's just a tool for me.

It's just like I find.

If you are ever like in a million, if you are having a hard time with your

mind just switching off, I always find it helpful to kind of like

put those thoughts out onto paper.

It doesn't have to make sense.

I think some people get really caught up in the how, and what I always say is

it doesn't have to make sense to anyone.

It doesn't even have to make sense to you, but if you feel lighter afterwards

and you're just writing it out, there's no right or wrong way to do it.

Now I know that some people, not everyone connects to

German and that's okay as well.

So I think giving yourself the time, the space, the, the permission to

explore and to see what works for you.

And if one thing doesn't work, that's okay.

Like just because it works for someone else doesn't mean it

will work for you and vice versa.

Um, I think breathing breath work is, is really powerful.

And for some, like sometimes honestly, the most simple things

I think are the most powerful.

Like sometimes for me, if I'm like in my own head too much, I'll

literally go outside for a walk.

And I will listen to a podcast or listen to something, or even listen

to a song that will just like.

Um, or even if I'm in the space, even if you're physically home and you

can't leave the house, literally put in on music makes a huge difference.

Like literally dance to a song that brings you joy.

It will shift your energy in a second.

Um, and movement there, there's so many different ways.

Like it doesn't have to be, I think sometimes we think we have to do like

big, crazy things and sometimes it's the intentional small things that

make a big, big difference as well.

Um, so yeah, for me, journaling personally helps, but there's

definitely a lot of other tools that I know are really impactful as well.

Yeah, and you mentioned something about, um, doing it consistently and sometimes it

doesn't need to be done every single day.

Like people say, oh, I'm gonna commit to journaling and I'm gonna do it

every morning and every evening, and it, and it's just too much and

it's not actually what they need.

Sometimes I just need what we call a brain dump, and I'll just take everything that's

lying around in my head that I feel like I'm responsible for that hasn't gotten

done, or that's worrying me, and I'll just write it all down and, and then I'll look.

And some of 'em, I'll think, well, that's dumb.

You didn't need to worry about that.

You can't do anything about that.

Or, oh yeah, this is really, really important.

So let's, let's spend some time focusing on that.

So.

That's one of one of my little tips or tricks.

I love that.

Thank you.

Um, so.

Tell us a little bit more, if you would, about the Pink Sheep Society.

Um, I love that concept.

Have you started it?

Is it, where does it live?

Um, is it something that you might be able to give us a link to or Not yet?

Not yet, but I would definitely be in touch with you when I do.

Um, you can add, if you are welcome if you're listening to this as

well, to follow me on Instagram.

'cause I would definitely be sharing updates from there.

My handle's at Dalia Campbell, which is my name, so I can obviously

share the link with you and you can put in the show notes as well.

Um, but yeah, I really see it as a space.

Virtual.

I see it honestly as starting as virtual because the coaching that I do right now,

whether it's me in my own masterminds or when I'm coaching other people, I think

there's so much power in Zoom and being able to serve people literally around the

world like me and you are like, I'm in the evening now in Thailand and I think

you're in the morning and we are like completely different science time zones on

the other side of the world, and yet we're here on the same screen connector, which

I think is so beautiful and so powerful.

So I think there's certain limitations to, if you're only in person, you

can serve the people that are there.

I also think there's amazing, incredible, beautiful energy

when you do come in person.

So I, I see it primarily as a virtual space to be able to connect more people.

And I think there's so much power in that.

And until today, I've only literally been coaching, mostly, um, online as well.

But I also see in the future as like having in-person retreats because I've led

actually a couple of in-person retreats for clients now, and there's so much

power and growth in being in-person.

And I've ended up being with clients who I've been coaching

for like over a year and a half.

And then we have an in-person retreat and we meet for the first time and it's

so powerful, like that connection to like take out the screen and to hug

someone and to go through things together and to go through workshops together.

So I almost see like.

The vision of having that, you know, in having that, um, online space

where it's like there's always that opportunity to connect from anywhere

with, anywhere literally around the whole world, which is beautiful in itself.

And then having like more, um, intimate in-person retreats at some point as well

to really deepen that connection together.

So.

I love that.

I love that.

You're so right.

It's, it's interesting now to even have a meeting on the phone because it seems

so impersonal when, you know, you can get on Zoom and, and talk to each other.

And, and I know it was fantastic when, um, my father-in-law lived in

England and we were here in the States and we were able to get him onto, it

wasn't Zoom, I think it was Skype.

We would talk to him every morning and it just felt like you weren't

that far away, you know, that you had just connected with them and spoke

to them and seen them in the morning.

So it just didn't feel like those miles were, when I first moved to England

many moons ago, it was, you know, um, there wasn't, I wanna say, oh, we didn't

really have even cell phones back then.

Okay.

Now I'm really dating myself.

But, um, it was, it was just hard because it was early morning there

and all my friends were at home.

It would be really early morning there.

And so, you know, and I didn't know anyone, I couldn't drive.

It was, it was very, I felt very disconnected where I feel like, you

know, for as in as much as um, you know, screens are, can be a, a problem

for people to spend too much time, I also think there's such a great

opportunity to bring people together.

A hundred percent.

And I actually feel this, I'm so glad you mentioned that because I

feel the same way about social media.

I definitely in the past had such as a coach as well, had such a love hate

relationship with social media around Houston and I'm, I'm often like, now I'm

looking back, I'm like, that just came from a pressure of thinking I needed to

do a certain thing 'cause that's what I was meant to do as a coach sort of thing.

Um, but I think now as I look at social media.

I see so much power behind it.

Like I've networked and created so many beautiful, amazing connections

with people that I never would've done if I wasn't on certain groups.

Like I think even and being on this podcast, I think that also came through

social media or from one of the groups.

I'm like, there's so much power behind this.

There's so much.

There's so many ways to genuinely connect and really build and

create relationships with people.

That doesn't mean like liking and having the nu, it's like doesn't

have to be an algorithm number game.

Like you can genuinely build relationships and connections and meet people

from all over the world if you're intentional about how you use it as well.

Yeah.

We've, we've had clients like you that we, um, one of 'em, actually,

we met him, we've known him for four years, and we finally met him

like last year at a conference.

And it was like, it was so much fun and we just all fell into just a great,

you know, we both all had a great time.

We kind of split up and go into different sessions and then we get

together afterwards and talk about it.

Um, and then also earlier this year, um, my business partner went on a conference

with another girl we've been friends with, you know, for like three years.

But she lived in Mexico, but she moved back to the States and so they were

able to get together and it was just.

Like meeting an old friend, you know, it's so great.

I love that.

I love it.

So I'm excited for your society.

So, um, if people right now who are listening are saying, you know what,

I'm ready for that society when she is, or, you know, I really wanna talk to

her about how she might help me grow my business and, and feel more in flow

and surround myself with good energy.

What is the best way for them to reach out to you?

Yeah, just honestly reach out to me on Instagram, come in the dms.

'cause I genuinely love connecting, like share with me even podcasts that I can

and like the name of the podcast so I can see like where, where you came from.

But I love really just having conversations and feel free to follow

along to see the updates as well.

But also really just to come in the DMS and let's connect on a personal level.

I love connecting with people and just not having followers for the

sake of it, but really just having those real, um, genuine connections.

So I'd love to connect if you are listening and relating to this as well.

I love that.

I love that.

My last question to all my guests is, if you could provide one tip to make the

world a better place, what would that be?

I think the biggest thing that's coming through right now is to be yourself.

Like really just to be the most authentic person of you and at

the most authentic version of you.

Sorry.

Um, and to give yourself permission to say what's on your mind from

a place like I really, genuinely, wholeheartedly believe right now.

That if you have something to share and it's like coming from within

from the heart, there's someone out there that needs to hear that.

I love that.

What a great way to end the episode.

Dalia, I can't thank you enough for joining me.
