• 0:12

• 0:15
  If you are a woman who is looking
• 0:18

• 0:24

• 0:25
  I'm your host, Wendy Yacboski.
• 0:28
  Let's step out in this together.
• 0:31
  So welcome to Episode 6 of Season 1.
• 0:36
  Season 2 is going to contain multiple interviews
• 0:40
  for my podcast and I'm really looking forward
• 0:43
  to doing them.
• 0:44
  And I thought that maybe for this last
• 0:48
  episode, I would share a story that is
• 0:51
  close to my heart that was when I
• 0:54
  began life coaching.
• 0:57
  And it was with a woman who came
• 1:00
  to me because she really wanted to start
• 1:03
  something that she was passionate about.
• 1:06
  And that was about starting an organic garden,
• 1:11
  not just for herself, but it was something
• 1:15
  that she wanted to do to serve others,
• 1:19
  to have an income.
• 1:22
  It was really, really important to her.
• 1:25
  But her problem was that she said her
• 1:30
  husband wouldn't allow her to.
• 1:35
  I've heard that a lot, that my husband,
• 1:39
  my family, my employer, my whoever it is,
• 1:46
  won't allow me to.
• 1:48
  And you might recognize something for yourself that
• 1:51
  there have been times when you, like I,
• 1:53
  have thought somebody else was stopping me from
• 1:56
  doing something that I really wanted to do.
• 2:00
  So we had our session together and I
• 2:03
  listened to her story, what was important to
• 2:06
  her and how she thought this wasn't going
• 2:09
  to work for her husband.
• 2:11
  And I just asked her a simple question.
• 2:15
  Have you talked with him about your passion?
• 2:20
  Have you talked with him about this idea?
• 2:24
  And she said, no, I haven't.
• 2:28
  Because he wouldn't be up for it.
• 2:31
  He wouldn't be interested in it.
• 2:33
  And I said, I invite you, I encourage
• 2:36
  you to have a discussion with him.
• 2:38
  Tell him what's important to you, why it's
• 2:41
  important to you, and see what he says
• 2:45
  about it then.
• 2:47
  And what happened was, when she came back
• 2:50
  to me, was that he was totally for
• 2:54
  her.
• 2:55
  It was not about her husband saying no.
• 2:58
  It was about her inner fear of doing
• 3:02
  it herself.
• 3:05
  And so, as I kept in touch with
• 3:07
  her, this garden became very successful and even
• 3:11
  more important than the success of her garden
• 3:14
  was the success that she felt in authenticating
• 3:19
  herself, her desire, her ability, the possibility to
• 3:25
  exceed in something that was very important to
• 3:29
  her.
• 3:30
  And I know that we go through this.
• 3:33
  Each of us goes through this.
• 3:35
  A part of us gets so afraid.
• 3:39
  Sometimes it's not even a conscious fear, right?
• 3:42
  It's a fear that goes, oh no, oh
• 3:44
  no, oh no, that's not going to work.
• 3:46
  No, it can't do that.
• 3:48
  And so, we look for someone to go,
• 3:50
  it's not going to work because of him
• 3:52
  or her or them.
• 3:55
  And it's not until we actually take that
• 3:57
  risk of moving toward and in that goal
• 4:03
  that we come to realize our own true
• 4:07
  agency.
• 4:08
  We might not call it agency.
• 4:10
  We might call it following what we really
• 4:13
  want, but we start to recognize our agency
• 4:17
  in being able to do that.
• 4:19
  And not only that person who seemed to
• 4:22
  be in our mind against us doing what
• 4:26
  we wanted to do, they in fact become
• 4:29
  an ally.
• 4:32
  Now, I want to put in a caveat
• 4:35
  here because not everyone that's a colleague, not
• 4:40
  everyone that's a spouse or a partner or
• 4:43
  a friend or a relative is necessarily going
• 4:47
  to be our ally because let's face it,
• 4:52
  sometimes when we're doing the thing that really
• 4:55
  juices us and gives us fulfillment, others in
• 5:00
  our life can go, I'm not doing that.
• 5:02
  Oh my God, there must be something wrong
• 5:04
  with me.
• 5:05
  And it's kind of like almost what happens
• 5:07
  is they can try to bring us to
• 5:11
  where they are again.
• 5:13
  And so what's really, really important is taking
• 5:18
  the time to remind ourselves, not just intellectually,
• 5:24
  but on a feeling level, the passion that
• 5:28
  we have for it, the desire that we
• 5:31
  have for it to first help ourself.
• 5:35
  I really want to emphasize that it's us
• 5:38
  whose life we're living.
• 5:44
  So we want to validate ourselves and we
• 5:48
  want to see in our mind's eye and
• 5:51
  feel in our hearts how good it feels
• 5:54
  to contribute to others as well as to
• 5:59
  ourselves in this thing that we want to
• 6:02
  do.
• 6:03
  Maybe we just realized that we wanted to
• 6:06
  do it.
• 6:07
  Maybe we've wanted to do it forever.
• 6:10
  It doesn't matter.
• 6:11
  What matters is that we're doing it now.
• 6:14
  And now as Louise Hay used to say
• 6:18
  all the time, now is the point of
• 6:20
  power.
• 6:21
  I've said before about how little steps are
• 6:26
  or baby steps are the way forward.
• 6:30
  So every step we take builds the confidence
• 6:33
  that it is that we're looking for.
• 6:36
  And every step of confidence builds this beautiful
• 6:41
  idea that we have in whatever way is
• 6:44
  important to us and helps give us a
• 6:48
  space to be inspired as to not only
• 6:52
  how can this work, but in right timing,
• 6:55
  how can this actually work better, even better?
• 6:59
  And so we grow and we expand.
• 7:02
  And maybe you'll be like me.
• 7:04
  I shared that story with you about how
• 7:07
  one time in my life at a much
• 7:09
  younger age, but still old enough, where I
• 7:13
  thought I had this lot in life, this
• 7:16
  kind of square of about a foot around
• 7:20
  me that I thought was my lot in
• 7:22
  life.
• 7:24
  It was so not true.
• 7:26
  What I came to learn that once I
• 7:29
  started taking the steps that presented themselves to
• 7:33
  me, that felt right to me when I
• 7:37
  listened in, are what helped me be able
• 7:41
  to look back and go, I was wrong
• 7:44
  about that.
• 7:45
  And I'm so glad I was because now
• 7:48
  my life has more meaning.
• 7:51
  It has more depth.
• 7:53
  It has more passion.
• 7:54
  It has more juice.
• 7:57
  That's what really matters, wouldn't you say?
• 8:00
  This might sound like kind of an extreme
• 8:03
  thing to say, but if we can actually
• 8:07
  ever be conscious at that time in our
• 8:10
  life when we make our transition from form
• 8:13
  to the non-form, would you not want
• 8:18
  to be remembering how good it felt to
• 8:21
  be you?
• 8:23
  How good it felt to give to others
• 8:25
  from the truth of who you are, that
• 8:28
  very sacred, and I do mean sacred, that
• 8:32
  very special gift you have to give that
• 8:39
  you gave it.
• 8:40
  And I just really support you in knowing
• 8:43
  with me that there's really nothing better to
• 8:47
  remember, to know, to breathe into, to do
• 8:54
  the step, and to be able to be
• 8:58
  a conscious or not conscious example, a subconscious
• 9:03
  example, maybe that might be a better word,
• 9:05
  to others who are feeling the way I
• 9:09
  felt, the way you felt before you started
• 9:12
  going, yes, this is important to me, and
• 9:17
  I value it.
• 9:18
  So you are an example, whether you're conscious
• 9:22
  of it or not conscious of it.
• 9:24
  And I know that all of us make
• 9:27
  a difference in this world, becoming a better
• 9:30
  place when we can live from that part
• 9:33
  of us that we came here with, that
• 9:35
  is ours to live, and others need whatever
• 9:40
  that is.
• 9:41
  Please know there is no big and no
• 9:44
  small, there's just what I call love and
• 9:49
  service and being the truth of ourselves.
• 9:53
  I'm so looking forward to seeing you in
• 9:56
  the next season.
• 9:57
  And I invite you to just take a
• 10:00
  moment to pause, get still, and listen within
• 10:06
  to what is yours.
• 10:10
  In what you've heard today, or in any
• 10:13
  episode, before you move on to your next
• 10:17
  activity, to just land in yourself.
• 10:21
  What is truly next for me?
• 10:26
  What is that baby step?
• 10:28
  Because I know that this activity or thing
• 10:33
  or relationship is what is speaking to me
• 10:39
  right here and right now, and I have
• 10:41
  what I need to move forward.
• 10:45
  I am with you, and you are with
• 10:49
  you.
• 10:49
  I know that.
• 10:51
  So be with you, your precious, beautiful self,
• 10:56
  moving forward here and now.
• 11:00
  All the best.
