Own Your Choices Own Your Life
Join the Patreon Community today! In this episode I am sharing some thoughts on the in-between, the time in between where we are today and where we think we are supposed to be. In today’s episode we discuss: 1) The in-between is the most uncomfortable time, where we aren’t where we want to be yet, and we equate that to doing something wrong, not enough, or that we are on the wrong path. There is power in the pause and this is the in-between space. We are not yet who we want to be and have to grow into the version of the person who can hold and handle the next level of...

Also what goes with this is when I feel alone I...

551 | The Progress You Can’t See
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode I am sharing some thoughts on the progress you can’t see, and how often we judge ourselves for the progress that we can’t see and then assume that nothing is happening.

info_outlineIn this episode, I am sharing some reasons for how you can use storytelling to grow your business by building authentic connections and allowing others to see and hear you. We don’t have to live the exact same stories in order to connect with others. By allowing others to see and hear our emotions, our experiences, they can see themselves in our stories and that is what continues to build the relationships. All business and connections are built on the backbone of relationships.
In today’s episode we discuss:
1) Storytelling makes you a real, relatable human who has lessons, experiences and expertise to share with others. It also removes the veils of social media and instead of showing the highlight reels it gives a real snapshot of who you are at the core. This is who others want to know.
2) Not everything in your story has to be shared. Only sharing your parts of the story, always leaving others in integrity and if you have to justify it to explain it then don’t share it.
3) The simple framework is a)who you were before the story happened; b) what happened, your part of the story; c) now as a result you are or you do. Sharing my example in the recording.
