Leadership Magic | Episode #358 · Legacy Living with Dr. Gloria Burgess

0:21
Hello, and welcome to today's show, Legacy Living, Make Your Life Count.
0:28
I'm your host, Doctor Gloria Gloria Burgess, international leadership expert and trusted
0:37
adviser. Welcome to Legacy Living, Make Your Life Count. I'm so delighted
0:46
that you joined me today. I have a very special guest on our show.
0:51
Her name is Stacy Johnston. I know you will enjoy meeting her,
0:57
and I just know you'll be inspired by our conversation today. Stacy Johnston is
1:03
the owner and operator of enlighten Up. I just love the name of her
1:11
business, don't you. Enlighten Up is a personal consulting firm based in Texas.
1:18
Her focus is to illuminate the magic of you. Stacy is joining us
1:26
today from Texas, where she lives with her husband of thirty seven years.
1:30
She is a mom to three beautiful children and grandmother to six. Stacy is
1:38
an internationally certified personal development coach, consultant, speaker, and trainer. She
1:46
works with individuals, families, companies, and communities to recognize the power of
1:53
their influence and the importance of the legacy they create in their lives now.
2:01
Stacy grew up in a dance studio family, and in her own words,
2:07
she says, I was blessed to enjoy the beautiful world of the arts all
2:13
my life. In fact, Stacy owned and operated Applause School of Dance for
2:20
thirty years. Then she took a pivot and served in the adolescent and adult
2:25
substance abuse and mental health profession as a family services specialist. She served there
2:31
for eleven years. Her new joy is co hosting two podcasts, Uncaped Heroes
2:40
and Midweek Mind Candy. Today's topic is Enlighten Up, a topic that is
2:51
near and dear to my heart, and I can't think of a better person,
2:54
a better leader, a better human being to address this topic than Stacy.
3:02
I met Stacy several years ago when I was attending an international MAXWELL Certification
3:08
conference in Orlando, Florida. When I met her, I just knew there
3:14
was something extra special about Stacy, and whenever I had an opportunity to have
3:20
a simple conversation with her, she spoke so passionately about the people she worked
3:25
with as a family services specialist. Stacy rarely said anything about herself, but
3:32
I could tell she was serving from her core. In fact, she was
3:38
standing in the fire of her purpose. So I can't wait to host this
3:44
very special, amazing and lovely human being, my friend, colleague and mentor,
3:51
Stacy Johnston. Now, before I bring her on, I just want
3:55
to take a minute, just a moment, to connect the dots between today's
4:00
topic on Enlighten Up and legacy Living. There are many ways that Enlighten Up
4:08
connects to legacy living, which you will hear more about later, But for
4:13
now, let me just say that legacy living is a way of being.
4:17
It's a way of living and moving through the world so that we make the
4:23
conscious choice to be the difference we want to see in the world. And
4:29
we make that conscious choice right here and right now, not way off in
4:33
some distant future. We make that conscious choice day in and day out,
4:40
three sixty five, twenty four seven. Okay, all right, more about
4:46
that later. Now let me introduce you to my friend and colleague and mentor,
4:53
Stacy. Hello, Stacy, I want to welcome you as a guest
4:59
to my podcast. This is just such a blessing to have you on and
5:03
I would love to introduce you to my listeners. Well, welcome. Hello.
5:09
I'm Stacy Jonathan and I am so very glad to be here sharing this
5:14
space with you today. Thank you, Thank you, Stacy. So I
5:17
know that you have done so much in your life and in your work,
5:23
and I would really like to talk with you today about your I'm gonna call
5:27
it a ministry about enlighten Up. So can you talk to us a little
5:31
bit, Stacy about what is What is that I would love to talk to
5:36
you about. Enlighten Up. Enlighten Up is the business that I run.
5:42
I am a personal development, business development coach, speaker, teacher, trainer.
5:46
Whatever your need might be, I'll see where I can't find a place
5:50
to feel that shoe for you in anyway. And enlighten Up really comes the
5:56
concept of all of it comes from my experience as a dancer. It's where
6:00
a lot of it comes from it, and so much that I learned there
6:03
kind of opened that door. Over the past thirty years, many times the
6:08
word light has come into what I'm doing and a name of something I have.
6:13
So there was only natural that that be my path. So it didn't
6:16
lighten up. My job is to illuminate your magic. I think that you
6:24
were God looked done one day and the sight of the world needed one of
6:27
you. And there's an amazing reason why. And when you believe that and
6:31
you turn that light on that you have inside a girl, the light that
6:34
shines is beautiful, and then you believe in the magic of you, and
6:38
then you're it's unstoppable. The world is your stage, right. Well,
6:41
I love that, And I did not know that you had a background a
6:45
dance and I would I just curious about that if you could tell our listeners
6:49
a little bit more about your foundation. Absolutely, I grew up as a
6:55
dancer. My mother was a dance teacher. My father was a dance lover,
7:00
so I grew up in the dance household. We were all about dance
7:02
recitals and costumes and props and rehearsals and competitions and lots and lots of music,
7:08
Oh my goodness. And we had a wonderful time. My dad was
7:11
a relator and so we had great time. And we did it all as
7:14
a family. And like when the country and Western craze hit and Urban Cowboy
7:17
came out, I bet my mom and dad taught two thousand people how to
7:20
do the two steps. Oh my goodness, that's amazing. And so it
7:25
was fun and Urban Cowboy had its own disco craze, rid then we did
7:29
the disco. So I grew up as a dancer, dance professionally for several
7:32
years, and then spent about thirty five years as a dance instructor and coach.
7:38
So what kind of dance did you focus on her? You know,
7:44
ballet is the basis of all of it, right, everything comes from ballet,
7:46
your poised, your grace, your center of balance. But I my
7:49
friend and my tap dancer at heart, my love of the rhythm. It's
7:55
a song all by itself with no music. It's right, yes, And
8:00
life is a rhythm writing and life has a song to sing, and we
8:01
are life, so we have a rhythm. So I love it. I
8:07
had one after I retired. I saw a lady one day and she said,
8:11
at the time, I was working for the State of New Mexico as
8:13
a family service and specialist working with adolescent and adult behavioral health and substance abuse.
8:18
And she said, oh, are you not sad that yours aren't still
8:20
dancing? And I said, you know, I am dancing because everybody's life
8:26
has a song. And so I go over here and I dance to the
8:30
song over here, and then I come out and shake it off, and
8:31
then I go over here and I get to dance to the song that these
8:33
people play. So I'm still dancing, I just have a different stage.
8:37
Yes, absolutely, I love that. So, Stacy, I want to
8:41
circle back to something you said earlier, and you talked about how each one
8:45
of us has that magic within us, and can you say a little bit
8:48
more about that? What does that mean to you? That means the glory
8:54
that I do believe you have something only you were put here to do,
9:01
and everything that you learn, everything that you experience, lead you to that
9:05
place, to that thing that you were supposed to do, and so that
9:09
whatever that is, and some people find it when they're ten, and some
9:13
people find it when they're seventy five. And it's about the journey. It's
9:16
not a destination. And right, I think everything, everything I know right
9:22
up to this moment has got me ready for the next moment I'm going to
9:24
face. Absolutely absolutely, So we have a special genius inside of us.
9:31
Is one of the ways that I talk about it. And it sounds like
9:33
you're talking about the same thing I am. You have this, you have
9:37
this person inside of you, that's your rhythm, that's that's what makes your
9:41
song sing. Yes, and if you understand that, then you know how
9:46
you like your eggs and what your favorite cartoon is, and how you feel
9:48
about love and respect and failure and success. And nobody gets to take that
9:54
from you because those are that's you, that's who you are. And I
9:58
think the biggest challenge we're facing the world today is deciding who is Gloria.
10:05
What kind of wife are you going to be? What kind of mother are
10:05
you, what kind of friend are you? What kind of mentor are you?
10:09
And then being able to maintain that in spite of what the world would
10:11
have you be. Yes, yes, because the world wants to tug us
10:16
in all different directions. And yeah, we're made for We're made for other
10:20
things we are. And you know we as a people, Gloria, we
10:24
gravitate toward light, whatever it is. They're the parties over there, the
10:31
lots are on over there. Even our advertising is we'll leave the lot on
10:33
for you, right, And so just as a society we gravitate toward and
10:39
as people we do the same thing. And we feel this energy, are
10:41
this lot coming from an individual or a or a teaching or a thought or
10:46
a platform, and we gravitate toward that energy and we feed on it.
10:50
We're like, yes, I get I love this lot. And then they
10:52
turn their lot off and we get insulted and we go, no, wait
10:54
a minute, I was thinking a lot, what do you think you're doing?
11:00
Right? And so we own that disappointment and then we just seek out
11:01
another light. And so the magic of you is recognizing that the light that
11:07
you are searching for is inside you. And when you can turn that light
11:13
on, then everything you need draws to you like fish to a not globe.
11:18
Yeah, like moss to the flame, as they would say. And
11:20
then you can attract that. But you have to believe in that light first.
11:24
Absolutely. Yeah, thank you, Thank you, Stacey. So I
11:30
want to just pivot a little bit here and talk a little bit about your
11:33
broadcast ministry. And I know that you have two things going on right now,
11:39
at least two. Could you talk with us a little bit about your
11:43
Uncaped Heroes podcast. I would love to talk about that. Uncaped Heroes is
11:52
right now. It's currently my favorite thing to do in my time. That's
11:54
what I love doing. It's magic for me. I started the podcast about
11:58
it year ago with a gentleman named Boyd Hamlin. He came on as my
12:03
co host. Boyd wrote a beautiful program for youth development, character and integrity
12:07
for children in any way you can possibly use it. And so he called
12:11
me one day and he said, let's do a podcast and turn this into
12:13
grown ups because the kids got to see the grown ups live it, and
12:16
I said, let's do it. So we decided to do this podcast called
12:20
The Hero Builder. And then he made a pivot in his life and he
12:24
met some amazing people and the Hero Builder has began to breathe and live over
12:28
here. So we separated from the Hero Builder and became everyday Heroes so the
12:33
Hero Builder could have its life, and as Eddie's progressed, it is going
12:37
to continue to eat up more and more of his lovely time. All his
12:41
parers are coming through. It's the funnest thing to watch. And so as
12:45
he's done that, we're going to rebrand again June one, and we're going
12:48
to become Uncaped Heroes and my daughter is going to become a new podcast co
12:52
host. Oh good, and that's such a joy for me. Yes,
12:56
and Boyd is going to continue on with with Hero Builder and blessed children all
13:01
around the world. So the premise of unkeped heroes. When we decided to
13:07
do the podcast Glory, we decided there were one hundred and twenty six thousand
13:11
podcasts the day we looked at it, and we thought, okay, now,
13:16
what's going to set us apart from one hundred and twenty six thousand other
13:18
people. So we started listening and what we found is that a lot of
13:22
them. There's beautiful information out there, lots of people have lots of beautiful
13:26
wisdom to share, but so many of them have either a specific theme,
13:31
a tractor on, they're a way to a sail, there's something else,
13:35
or you don't want to talk about that. And so where was that gap?
13:39
And what we saw, we said, what's wrapping in the world right
13:41
now? So we saw the gap being in a clear understanding of character and
13:46
integrity. And so that was the premise of let's let's find people from all
13:52
over the world and let's find out what was their journey, who inspired them,
13:56
what did they learn, what is their wisdom and how can we share
14:00
that? And so that's what we do. We have had the privilege of
14:03
traveling all over the world, from Israel to Egypt, to Australia to the
14:09
UK to Texas and we've talked to the most beautiful people. They do the
14:13
most beautiful things for mankind, and they're giving people permission to get better,
14:20
to have a space to go. You know, I understand that, and
14:22
it seems like right now people need permission to do a lot of things.
14:28
And so there's a lot of people out there open in that space, and
14:31
so we're sharing that space. We're letting you know who's out there to make
14:35
your life better and who's aired them and what's the wisdom from your grandparents.
14:41
Well, thank you for doing that work with Boyd and eventually with your daughter.
14:45
It sounds like very soon she's going to be in the same same seed.
14:48
You know, so many people are hurting and suffering, not only during
14:54
this pandemic, but before before we had the pandemic, and so having that
14:58
place of end inspiration and light is so so necessary right now. Well,
15:05
hope is universal, Wisdom is universal. It doesn't have a gender or a
15:09
color, or a location or a community. And we're all just walking each
15:13
other home. Shouldn't we do it hand in hand? M oh I love
15:18
that, Stacey. Thank you hand in hand talking each other home. Yeah,
15:24
so I know that you have another podcast, and could you tell us
15:28
about midweek mind candy? Oh? Absolutely, absolutely so. Mind candy is
15:35
a phrase that we use for something for you to think about for a minute,
15:39
like a good piece of hard candy or an all day sucker. Takes
15:43
a minute to digest that. And so that's what this information is. And
15:48
we do it on Wednesday and we take an individual word that is an attribute
15:52
of character and integrity and legacy and we banter that word. How do you
15:58
model that word? How do you verb that so that people see that,
16:03
because that's your legacy, that's the story that you leave behind. And if
16:07
we don't if we don't model And so we've had the most wonderful conversations with
16:11
people about words, and we are learning how many ways one word can be
16:17
defined. Yes, right, And it's very important how we use those words
16:21
and when we're communicating with people because just how you say it has a very
16:25
different meanings sometimes so absolute the wisdom is beautiful And so are you working and
16:30
talking with people from around the world on this podcast as well? Absolutely absolutely
16:37
so. Yeah, it's fun there. Every time we talk to somebody who
16:40
being on the podcast, we go so do you want to play another way,
16:44
we have another one. So that's a lot of fun to hear the
16:47
conversations. And I've really enjoyed the conversations we have between the generations. We
16:56
we bantered the word grace with a young man that was thirty and to hear
17:00
his concept of grace as one of those people so many people are afraid of
17:06
write the oh my gosh, the awful millennials, and they're so beautiful,
17:10
right, they have so much information, and I think we're scared of them.
17:12
This what do I think? Right? That's it. There's so much
17:15
information that we didn't even understand, but they need our wisdom. And so
17:22
when we bantered the word grace and we heard this beautiful concept of this thirty
17:25
five year olds concept of grace, we came to the conclusion that it's the
17:29
third step in forgiveness. There's accepting an apology, and then there's forgiveness,
17:34
and then there's grace. And grace is what we all want, right,
17:40
And it's hard to offer to other people complete and it's very hard to offer
17:44
to ourselves. Yes, absolutely, Until you can offer yourself grace, it's
17:49
almost impossible to offer to anyone else within a clear understanding. And so those
17:55
are the conversations that we get to have. So if you would like to
17:56
banter a word with us with glory, we would love to have you.
18:00
Well, you know I love words, so I would be happy to do
18:06
that. And I think about how we use the word mentor. For example,
18:10
there's another word for you and often castal you think about somebody older than
18:14
us. But young people have something to offer everyone as well, and so
18:18
I like to think of mentors as people of all ages, all generations,
18:22
all walks of life. We can all learn something from everyone. Right,
18:26
I agree, And you know, just like you and I both have learned
18:30
for a mentor that we both share. Leadership is influenced. It's not who
18:33
you are, it's not how much money you make, right, it's your
18:37
ability to influence those around you. That's the five year old or the eighty
18:41
year old or somebody in between. Yes, absolutely, yeah, all right,
18:47
Well, I love your ministries and thank you for sharing about your podcasts.
18:51
Stacy. I know that you have written a part of a book,
18:55
and I want you to tell our listeners about that. What is Ka No
19:00
More? Wow? Cage No More is a very new and exciting journey,
19:06
but I was invited to join. I got an email from a lady one
19:10
day and she said, please don't take this as creepy, but I've been
19:12
scoping you out on Facebook. I really love your energy in you and I
19:17
should have a conversation, And so she called in. We had a conversation
19:21
about this book she wanted to write, and her goal was sixteen to twenty
19:25
women to co author a book about the moment they recognize the magic in themselves
19:33
right the moment they became uncaged from the constraints of society or trauma or fear
19:40
or whatever it was it was holding them back that moment they broke free.
19:44
So in this book will be sixteen stories of coming out right of that uncaged
19:52
I believe. We launched July the thirtieth, and it is sixteen amazing women
19:57
from all around the world. And so it has been quite an experience.
20:02
You're right so nervously that they when they hit that button, had to turn
20:04
into my chapter. I was like, Oh, there's no going back,
20:07
let's hit the button. Yeah. Well, you know, telling your story
20:11
is so powerful not only for you, but for all the people whose lives
20:15
you're going to impact. Yeah, amen. You know, I think we
20:18
never know who might hear our story that needs to hear it that day,
20:22
or whose life at my touch or change. That's right. And you know
20:26
I always say it's not our business to know. Our business is to show
20:30
up and to tell our stories and to shine the light. Somebody out there
20:34
needs that. They meet that light. They meet those lights of learning words
20:38
they do, they do, so may they fall upon the ears that need
20:42
them. Absolutely well, I wish you well with your book. I'm not
20:45
gonna wish you luck because you don't need luck. Thank you very much.
20:49
I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of it, Thank you
20:52
very much. It'll be super fun. And though I think all the proceeds
20:55
are going to charity, and which makes it even better, it's gonna be
20:59
fun to watch it bless other people all around anyway. Absolutely, Now,
21:03
you mentioned the word gap a little bit earlier, Stacey, and I I'm
21:07
going to ask you to just fill us a little bit more about what you're
21:10
thinking in terms of where our culture is today, society is today. Where
21:15
do you see the gap and what's what's missing or muted for you? Do
21:22
you know? I think m I asked this question all the time, right
21:29
on my interviews. It's one of the questions that we ask is where people
21:32
see the gap? And I love the answers that we get, but I
21:34
think I think for me it's in. It's in the wisdom of my grandparents.
21:41
Right. Where did that stop getting moved along? Right? We all
21:48
had these people in our lives that had this moral line, this character,
21:52
this ethic, this righting wrong, this good and bad, this total line
21:57
earn you to keep. We had that, and we we grew up with
22:02
that, and we honored that and we believed in it. And when we
22:03
do these interviews, ninety four percent of the time, that's who these people,
22:07
that's who their heroes are. It's my grandma, it's my mom,
22:11
it's my uncle John, it's my third grade Sunday school teacher. Right,
22:15
these ordinary people that do extraordinary things for them. And so I think that's
22:21
what's missing in all this information that we got out there, right, there's
22:25
so much chatter, and so I think the gap is in. The gap
22:30
is in I think probably the other thing I've talked about, what's underneath the
22:34
music. Yes, that's that's the gap for me. Yes, And where
22:41
did that wisdom go. As I watched my grandchildren. I got six grand
22:45
babies now love God, yea, thank you. They're so beautiful. But
22:51
they're all under the age of six, and so as I watched them grow
22:56
up, and they are fascinated by life sponges of energy. They want to
23:00
know. They want to learn, how does that work? Why does it
23:03
do like that? Where that start going from right? Why does that frog
23:07
squeeze on my finger? Everything fascinates them. And then as I work with
23:11
junior high kids and I work with high school kids, we're teaching them how
23:15
to ask questions again. We're teaching to dream again and to believe in that
23:21
again, and to have an imagination. Where does the wonder go? I
23:26
want to know. I'm I'm watching mine, and I'm like, don't you
23:27
dare take the wonder from most grandbabies. Let them ask the questions because I
23:32
want to know who takes that away? Because I think that's where the gap
23:34
starts. We start telling them, sit down, pay attention, conform,
23:40
memorize the answer, get the grade, go to school, fit in the
23:44
box, and that creates the gap right there. Yeah, yeah, because
23:49
they're not fishing and they're not hunting. And cannon and looking at birds and
23:52
watching the stars and changing the tire and learning about life. Yeah, so
23:59
we actually what you're saying, I think is we contribute to that that gap
24:03
one no or one TV commercial or one do it this way and not that
24:11
way, exactly one. One just a minute, don't ask, you'll learn,
24:17
right, Yeah, one, just a minute. I'm busy. I
24:18
can't just a minute. I can't talk right now. And then they just
24:22
quit asking. Yeah, right, what a blessing. I mean, you
24:26
have six grand babies under the age of six, and I can only imagine,
24:30
I imagine you're just pouring and pouring and pouring blessing into these young young
24:36
souls. You know, I think that's what they're doing to me, right,
24:40
They're they're doing that to me. But I think that's the joy of
24:42
being a grandparent, because when we're When I was a mom, I was
24:45
so busy trying to be a good mom. Right, I wanted all my
24:48
eyes totted, my teas crossed in the dentist appointment, and aising science and
24:52
good science projects and bows in their hair. Right I wanted. I wanted
24:56
to be a perfect mom. And I think I missed the wonder m and
25:00
I think that's what grandmothers get. I think we get the wonder yes,
25:03
because I'm not responsible anymore. None of that is mine, and so I
25:10
get the wonders. So I get tents in the living and the cug pakes
25:11
and breakfast and where does cinnamon come from? And we get to find out
25:15
I love it. Yeah, And like my mom said, you know,
25:18
I can always send them home absolutely spoiled. Yeah, a little sugar.
25:25
Maybe we're sending them home, oh mine. So, Stacy, is there
25:30
anything that you would like to comment on further, or anything that you wished
25:34
i'd asked you that I did not. Oh? You know, I love
25:40
to have conversations with you, my friend. I could just talk to you
25:41
all day. Right, So here's how about I'll lay out a challenge,
25:47
not necessarily a challenge, but a little mind candy for your audience. I
25:52
would like to challenge them to see if they can take a moment and step
25:56
back and find out what's underneath the music for them. When you learn to
26:04
tap dance, you learn that you can't dance to the music because the music
26:08
changes. It goes up, it goes down, it fades, it speeds
26:12
up. But underneath there's this one sound that never changes and that keeps everything
26:19
else in rhythm, and that's your dance partner. So who's your dance partner
26:26
underneath all this music that's going on right now? Do you know who are
26:30
you? With no hat on who you? Are? You? Not in
26:34
someone else's costume that they've laid out for you for the day, but who
26:40
are you underneath the music? Wow? And how do you keep the steps
26:45
going when the music changes? I love yah? Yeah, thank you?
26:49
Well, you have to know the dance right yeah? Okay. Have you
26:52
ever been driving down the highway listening to your favorite song on the radio?
26:56
Music's turned up? You're a one man concert or best singer on the planet
27:00
right rocking out? Yes, and you hit that moment of white noise and
27:06
you go oh, and you have a choice to make breaking You either change
27:10
the station, are you keep singing your song and in a minute, the
27:15
white noise goes away and you're right on time and a concert continues. Yes,
27:18
because you know your song. But white noise conflict in your life.
27:25
It's just white noise in your song. And if you just keep singing,
27:30
believe in, just keep singing your song in a minute, the white noise
27:32
goes away and that song is right we're supposed to be. I love it.
27:37
Thank you, thank you, And you know, I obviously didn't get
27:42
to see your tap dance. I didn't get to see you teach or as
27:47
a professional dancer, but I feel like I've gotten a little bit of the
27:51
dancer in you and the musician in you, because to be a tap dancer,
27:55
you've got to be a really good musician. Man. Yeah, yeah,
27:59
thank you so much, Stacy. And so for our listeners, I
28:03
know they're gonna want to get in touch with you. What's the best way
28:07
