leaving room for magic. I actually think I've done a
0:26
podcast episode on this. Phrase that I talk.
0:29
About leaving room for magic. Before, but this one is going.
0:33
To be a little bit different, I thought about what I really
0:35
wanted to talk to you. Guys, this week especially.
0:38
As it's Christmas and this. Is a powerful thought that
0:43
Ioffer a lot. Of my clients that I work.
0:45
With. And so I want to talk to you
0:47
about my thought process behind it today and really.
0:52
How to walk? Yourself through creating this
0:56
this belief and this magic for yourself and your goals and
1:00
where you want to be. Especially as we're.
1:02
Wrapping up 2025 and we're getting ready to move into 2026.
1:06
It. Is Christmas Eve right now as
1:09
I'm recording this podcast and I actually changed routes a little
1:14
bit and what I wanted to talk to you.
1:16
About this week I there was a couple.
1:18
Things that I thought that I wanted to, but then I was like.
1:20
As we are. Moving in to Christmas and
1:24
tomorrow being Christmas, I just really thought it.
1:28
Really appropriate to talk. About magic, creating magic,
1:31
creating belief for yourself, I wanna.
1:35
Preface this with I just had. The most wonderful time with my
1:39
kids and my family, we went to the.
1:41
Coast for the last 433 or. Four days and we it's funny
1:49
because we call it forced family fun because my kids are
1:53
teenagers now and they don't exactly want to hang with us
1:56
anymore. So we're like, we're going to
1:57
have a forced family fun for the next 4 days and it was just so
2:01
magical. It was.
2:02
Relaxing it was. Beautiful there at the.
2:04
Coast and. So I really hope that you guys
2:08
are. Finding some magical time to be
2:11
with your friends and your family and your loved ones.
2:13
If you do celebrate during this time, I want to.
2:18
Make this episode as if you're. Sitting with me across the table
2:22
again. I'm looking out my window right
2:23
now in my office and it is sunny.
2:27
We just had a storm the last three days and out of nowhere as
2:32
I'm preparing this. Podcast episode for you guys.
2:34
The sun comes out and I am just like.
2:38
So grateful to Finally. To see the sun in the last
2:41
couple weeks and I don't know if you can hear.
2:43
This as well. But my neighbors on his dirt
2:46
bikes, you might be able to hear that too, but we're just going
2:47
to go with. It for this episode.
2:49
So I wanted to kind of talk to you guys about my.
2:51
Thought process of this phrase that.
2:53
I share with my clients leaving room for magic before when I
2:56
talked about it on the. Podcast, I really talked about
2:59
it as far as. What do you guys come to me who
3:01
want to get into flight and you think that?
3:03
There's like these the this. Magical step.
3:07
For yourself, that's going to make the process easier.
3:09
Not as hard and that if you follow A&B then it will get you
3:14
to C And what I talked about previously leaving room for
3:17
magic is that there is not a linear way to.
3:20
Get to your. Goals.
3:21
There is no linear way to get. To flight either.
3:24
And so. When I say.
3:24
Leave from Room from Magic an example that I've given in the
3:28
past. Is I have a.
3:29
Lot of clients. That I really teach them to
3:31
speed date a bunch of. Companies I love speed dating
3:34
because it leaves a lot of room for magic.
3:36
You date a bunch of companies, you do a bunch of ride alongs,
3:39
you get to know a bunch of people, crew members.
3:43
Bases. Aircrafts.
3:45
You make these connections, you network.
3:47
With people. That maybe you didn't think were
3:49
a good fit with you. And then you went on speed dates
3:51
with them. You did these ride alongs and
3:53
you're like, oh. They are really good fits.
3:55
And so this. Just.
3:55
Creates a lot of momentum for yourself when I say.
3:58
Leave a lot. Of room for magic in this speed
4:00
dating I also offer my clients and people who are trying to get
4:04
to. Flight to also.
4:06
Sit in a lot of interviews. Sit yourself in that interview
4:09
seat. Leaving room for magic means
4:12
that you don't always interview for let's.
4:14
Say. Team or base A and get.
4:17
That that offer for that base I've.
4:21
Had a lot of clients that interviewed for base A and then
4:23
they got multiple offers at multiple.
4:25
Bases. Or.
4:27
One closer to home. Or a different.
4:30
Offer altogether or. One that is just like, hey, do
4:34
you want this base or do you want this base?
4:36
And this is what I mean, leaving room for magic.
4:38
I've also had people. Who've interviewed for?
4:41
Let's say base. A and then it was filled with an
4:43
internal hire and then a couple months later the manager comes
4:47
to them and is like, hey, we know we have some open
4:49
positions. Would you?
4:51
Like it at this base which is a different base.
4:53
And so that's what I mean, leaving room for magic.
4:56
You just want to create so much belief in yourself.
5:00
To get to flight and to get to your goals.
5:02
The other people believe it too, whether it's at the.
5:04
Base that you interview for or one that opens up.
5:08
For you. Because magic happens in the
5:10
process. So that's how I've kind of
5:12
explained it before and I'm going to take.
5:14
You through the process of how do you do this because.
5:16
I know a lot of you guys are thinking OK, but.
5:18
How do I do this because a lot of you guys.
5:21
Are are doers like me where you want to kind of control hey?
5:26
If I do. This then it's going to get me
5:28
this result and so so leaving room for magic.
5:31
Really requires you to first let go of the how your.
5:36
Brains going to say. OK, but how do I do it?
5:38
And it's going. To require you to.
5:41
Let go of control of get. Of the how?
5:44
And really focus on the belief. How do I?
5:48
Generate the belief in myself. That it's possible for me?
5:52
That I can do it. That whatever the goal is.
5:55
That I'm setting for myself that I can achieve it.
5:58
Let me give you an example. One for me is.
6:01
I left flight. Nursing and I retired from
6:04
nursing all together to. Go all.
6:06
In on impacting and helping people.
6:08
As a life. Coach and as a flight coach, and
6:11
I've never done that before. And I had to, really.
6:14
Lean on belief in myself. That I could create that
6:18
possibility. And help hundreds, thousands
6:22
people one day do and achieve that and to do that because I've
6:27
never done it. Before I had.
6:29
To let go of knowing the how I was.
6:31
Going to get there and really just work.
6:33
On believing that it was. Possible for myself?
6:36
So what? You need to.
6:37
Do is be willing to let go? Of the how?
6:39
Willing to let go of. What are the exact steps that I
6:43
that? That are going to get me there
6:45
and just. Really work on.
6:47
Generating a belief. And what do you have to believe
6:49
about yourself to be that? Person not what do you need to
6:53
do and. I really had to believe that it
6:56
was. Possible for me?
6:57
I really had to believe. That my desire.
7:00
To help people. And impact and save more lives
7:03
in this coaching industry was going to be way more impactful
7:07
and. Powerful.
7:08
Than the lives. That I could.
7:09
Save as a flight nurse and that. Is a belief that I grew.
7:13
And you know what? Lots of friends and family
7:15
didn't come on board with me. And so I.
7:17
Had to hold. The responsibility of carrying
7:20
that belief for them even when other.
7:22
People did it. So that leads me to.
7:24
This other part of this process is that we.
7:26
Can't. Ask others to believe in us.
7:29
I see a lot of people that are like, well, if so and so.
7:32
Believes in me, then I can believe in myself and then I can
7:35
go ahead and go. Towards this goal but really
7:38
powerful, powerful goals require us to.
7:42
Believe in ourselves. It's our.
7:43
Responsibility to generate that for.
7:45
Ourselves. And so when I.
7:48
Wanted to do this, I had a lot. Of friends and family who I
7:52
thought would go with me or even when I wanted to get in flight.
7:55
Who? I thought.
7:55
Would back me up, just didn't want me to do it and so I.
8:00
Had to. Hold enough trust and belief in
8:02
myself and this is a thought that I told myself to is I'm
8:05
going to. Carry that belief for them.
8:07
This comes. With a lot of practice,
8:11
especially if you are the type of person who is.
8:14
Used to beating yourself up. I did this a.
8:17
Lot early on in my career instead of like really looking
8:22
at it as criticism against myself I.
8:24
Spent a lot of hours, a lot of shifts, a lot.
8:28
Of time, beating myself up and that came.
8:30
Really, really easy. Easily to me.
8:33
So when I learned about this generating belief work and
8:36
creating these things and results for myself and being the
8:39
one responsible. For that belief, I had to really
8:44
have. My brain, my brain wanted to go.
8:46
Right. And I tip going right, meaning
8:49
like it always wanted to beat itself and beat myself up and
8:51
tell myself I couldn't. Do it and create a lot of doubt.
8:54
And I had to. Like really avidly take it left.
8:57
Meaning when I wanted to go into the beating myself up, I.
9:00
Had to go left with it. Where it wanted to go, right and
9:05
just really work on my thoughts and my mindset to generate that
9:09
belief. And I'm going to teach you like
9:11
what I kind of went through to do that in this episode.
9:15
So part of this creating. Belief and generating belief is
9:19
going to require. You to take.
9:21
Uncertainty and doubt with you, if you're anything like me, a
9:25
person who does not want to remain stagnant, comfortable,
9:28
and always wants to create new goals.
9:31
Step into the next version of yourself.
9:33
And I know you are because you're listening to this
9:35
podcast. Then what is?
9:38
Going to be required of you is to just.
9:40
Bring that uncertainty and doubt.
9:42
With you if you're the type. Of person who wants to.
9:45
Create big. Things and big.
9:46
Goals for yourself? Uncertainty and doubt is the
9:49
very first thing that comes up when you have an idea and when
9:53
you want to create something new.
9:55
And so you have to be willing to take it with you, not get rid of
9:58
it. I always think of it like.
9:59
A heavy purse. Like I'm putting heavy rocks in
10:03
my purse and I'm putting the purse on and I just got to bring
10:05
that uncertainty and doubt with me and take action anyway.
10:09
There's a part. Of your brain when it wants to
10:11
go right instead of left, which will say Nope, we can't have any
10:14
uncertainty and doubt before we move forward.
10:16
But to go left with the. Brain instead of going right and
10:19
beating yourself up. We got to just put those heavy
10:22
weights in the purse, carry it with us and take.
10:24
Action so I'm going to take. You through just quickly the
10:29
process that I. Take myself through when I'm
10:31
leaving room for magic and I'm generating more belief.
10:35
If it is. Hard for me to get there.
10:36
I and I'm going to give you an example as the end of the year
10:39
is closing, I have some big things that I want to
10:42
accomplish, some big goals both personally and professionally
10:45
for 2026 and when I think. About those goals, it's really
10:51
hard. For me to not get bogged down by
10:55
the uncertainty and the doubt. So these are the steps that I
10:58
kind of take myself through as I'm thinking about what I want
11:02
to create for 2026 and if the uncertainty and the doubt.
11:06
Are so loud. For me right now and and the
11:09
beating myself up. You got to start with gratitude,
11:14
you. Have to think about how far have
11:16
you come? Even if we just look at the.
11:19
You one year ago, one year. Ago.
11:23
Look at how. Far you've come, look at how
11:25
much you've. Created.
11:26
Look at. How much?
11:27
You've pushed, pushed through the grit, the grind.
11:31
Everything that you. Did to create the you who?
11:34
Is standing here today. That's how you start, with
11:38
gratitude. And gratitude begins of what are
11:40
you proud of like? This year I'm really, really
11:44
proud of. Creating the Flight Prep Academy
11:48
that now has over 100 people in it.
11:51
I've helped dozens of people get into flight in a shorter amount
11:53
of time and helped them and create their goals.
11:55
As I'm moving towards my goals, I am helping other people move.
11:59
Towards theirs quicker. And so I have so much gratitude.
12:03
I am so. Proud of that.
12:05
I'm so. Proud of the people.
12:08
In in my. Groups too I've.
12:10
Created a new. Group offer, which is called the
12:14
shift it's for. Any healthcare worker and for
12:16
short responder, it's helping them create confidence both on
12:19
and off the shift, the balance that they want and creating big
12:22
things. I am so.
12:23
Proud of that. So think about the.
12:25
You a year ago what? You want to accomplish how far
12:29
you've come and what. Exactly you are proud of and
12:31
this. Is hard to do so spend some time
12:34
right here when we get into gratitude when we get.
12:36
Into what we're proud of. This is what will help us.
12:39
For the next step, because the next thought that you want to be
12:43
thinking is what police do I need to have to accomplish this
12:46
goal that I'm setting out for myself, whatever it is for 2026.
12:50
Whether it's flight, whatever it is.
12:52
Personally. Professionally.
12:53
So Step 2 in this. Is you got to go to the you who
12:57
has achieved it? So if your goal is flight
13:00
nursing, you got to. Go to the you who has.
13:02
Now received the offer and is stepping into orientation.
13:06
What's the? Very.
13:07
First thing he or. She would.
13:08
Say, after completing it and getting that offer.
13:11
That's the thought. That's the thought you want to
13:15
have to anchor you in now. So for me, when I think about
13:18
achieving this goal, personal and professional that I want to
13:21
achieve in 2026, if I have. Completed that if I like Fast
13:25
forward to the. End of December 2026 and I've
13:28
completed. It.
13:30
My. Very first thought that I would
13:31
have is I did it. And so I.
13:35
Want to offer you if that's it for.
13:37
You cling on to my. Thought I did it, but go to the
13:40
goal, go to the thought, the very first thought that you
13:42
have. After you've completed that
13:45
goal. If we look for the future, you.
13:48
For me it's I did. It.
13:49
And as I'm working on generating new beliefs for myself and
13:53
completing where I want to go sometimes.
13:57
It's hard to get to. I did it.
13:59
Sometimes it's hard for me to believe that right now.
14:01
It's not hard for me to believe it.
14:02
I know I'm going to do it. So I I'm really working on I did
14:05
it. I did it and so.
14:07
If it's hard for you though, to really believe.
14:10
That then sometimes. It's.
14:13
Adding a little, I'm doing it in front of.
14:15
It so I started with this. Thought like I'm doing it and if
14:21
I'm doing it it's not easy for you to get to.
14:23
I want you to put a possible in front of whatever your thought.
14:25
Is. It's possible that I'm going to
14:28
do it, start there, and then you move to I'm doing it and then
14:31
you move to I did it. Right now, I'm just really
14:33
practicing I did it and generating that feeling and that
14:38
belief of that person that I am who's going to get to that goal.
14:42
Lastly, you have to have compassion on the old.
14:45
You how you used to do it, so if you used to beat yourself up to
14:49
get to your goals. You don't want to live and
14:51
regret about doing that. You just want to have compassion
14:54
that that's how you got to where you are now.
14:57
That's who made you where you are now, and I want to offer you
15:01
to. Get to.
15:01
Where you're going, it's no longer going to work for you to.
15:04
Beat yourself. Up so one have compassion for
15:06
how you got. There.
15:08
An example of this for me is. How I used?
15:10
To get to my goals. Was I would.
15:11
Put a tremendous amount of pressure on myself.
15:14
Pressure worked for me in my job and in my personal life when I
15:17
felt. Pressure, that's what I would.
15:18
Move. That's when I would perform.
15:20
But I'm realizing to get to the next best version of me, I can
15:24
no longer put pressure on myself to get there and I don't want to
15:28
to get to where I want to go and and to get to my big.
15:31
Goals. I don't.
15:33
Want to get there by? Lots of pressure.
15:35
I want to get there by generating trust, love,
15:38
compassion and a deep desire to impact and help more people.
15:43
And so to do that I know that this way.
15:45
Is going to. Work.
15:46
But I have to let go. Of the old me who put pressure
15:49
on me, I have love and compassion on that worked for me
15:53
in my. Past but I.
15:55
To get to the new version of me, I no longer want to do that.
15:59
I want to generate all of these. No new emotions.
16:03
And in fact, I know when I do I. I know when I trust and I love
16:06
and I create more compassion and more desire to impact more
16:09
people in this way, I'm going to create even bigger and better.
16:13
Results To do all of this you got.
16:18
To give yourself time to dream, to super think, to believe I.
16:22
Spent. The last six months, really
16:25
asking myself. What do I?
16:26
Really want. What I.
16:29
Really want right now, what do I really want personally in my
16:33
business, how I'm impacting people, for my life, for my
16:36
children, what I really want. And I did this the last six
16:40
months and I've created something really big and new for
16:44
you in the next year. I'm not ready to.
16:46
Share it with you yet? But I wanted you to know my
16:49
process of taking myself through, of creating this offer
16:51
for you and how I got there. And I really want to invite you
16:55
guys during this magical time of friends, family, love, Christmas
17:01
to. Really give yourself.
17:03
Time to leave room for magic to generate belief, and until then
17:10
to dream big. And in doing that.
17:13
You got to say it out loud. Tell someone your dreams for
17:16
2026, speak them into existence. And I want to invite all of you
17:20
