- 0:28Hey guys, welcome to episode 161 of the Shift podcast.
- 0:32I'm titling this one shift into summer series.
- 0:35I don't know if you guys have noticed, but I am going to be
- 0:37running a three-week series, one call each week over Zoom.
- 0:42You can come live or watch the replays, but I am really going
- 0:46to be just teaching you my process of how to create the
- 0:50life you love this summer. And if you've ever been like me,
- 0:54where you have been going to school, Oregon, working full
- 0:58time, or just been really busy, you haven't.
- 1:01You've always told yourself, I'm going to create, this summer is
- 1:04going to be the summer that I create what I want and what I
- 1:07want to do. And then just time has passed by
- 1:09and it goes by so fast and you didn't do all the things that
- 1:12you wanted to do. And so I'm really going to teach
- 1:14you in this three-week series how to create the life you want,
- 1:18how to be intentional with your summer.
- 1:21And I think, like the hardest part is really coming up with
- 1:26what that is for you, if you gave yourself permission to
- 1:29really want what you want. So I wanted to start out with
- 1:32this episode just kind of telling you how I came up with
- 1:35this idea and what led me to this.
- 1:38So I have been running my own business for almost 6 years now.
- 1:44And when I found the life coaching tools, I never thought
- 1:47that I would get into entrepreneurship at this level.
- 1:50I thought it would be really fun to be a life coach and it really
- 1:53was something that I found people really needed and it took
- 1:56off. And So what I've been reveling
- 2:00in over the last about almost a year now is really how grateful
- 2:08I am to have time freedom. And I remember there were a lot
- 2:15of summers as I was a flight nurse.
- 2:17I, I really did feel like I had the perfect schedule working 224
- 2:20hour shifts. I had five days off in a row and
- 2:24that was a full time schedule and I loved that.
- 2:26I loved the work I was doing. I really felt like that's what I
- 2:29was meant to be doing. But I do remember several times
- 2:32thinking my kids are getting older and I want to maximize the
- 2:36time I'm spending with them while they're in high school
- 2:37making all of their games. And it just wasn't plausible
- 2:41with working 24 hour shifts to be able to do that all of the
- 2:44time. So when I started my life
- 2:46coaching business and it started to take off, I thought to
- 2:48myself, wow, this could be the thing that helps me get my time.
- 2:52Freedom and create everything that I want for the next 5
- 2:55years. When I set goals, I set goals
- 2:58from future focus. Meaning I think of like where I
- 3:00want to be in the next five years and then I give myself the
- 3:04result I want to create. And then I shift my mindset and
- 3:07confidence and belief in myself towards being that person now.
- 3:11And when I've been reveling in these last this last year, I am
- 3:17now just have so much time freedom to make every single
- 3:23event that my kids have, to be able to be at all the things
- 3:27that I want to be, to be able to plan the vacations that I want
- 3:30to plan. I have time freedom now in my
- 3:34business. I only work four days a week and
- 3:37I make my own hours from 9:00 to 2:00.
- 3:40I never in my wildest dreams thought that I could have a
- 3:46business that would be making more in my business.
- 3:50And I did as a nurse. And I am just reveling in so
- 3:55much gratitude of being able to create this.
- 3:57And I know 100% that I have created this with my mind, with
- 4:03belief in myself. And I do 100% think it's
- 4:07possible to create anything that you want in this life.
- 4:10I'm now thinking about my next five years because in the next 5
- 4:13years, I've three adult children.
- 4:15I really probably expect to have grandchildren.
- 4:17And so I'm now thinking about what I want for the next 5 years
- 4:20to even free up more time to spend time with my children and
- 4:23my grandchildren. And how do I make that possible
- 4:29both financially and time wise to be able to travel as much as
- 4:32I want and do the things that I want to do while also really
- 4:35expanding hobbies changing and my life changing.
- 4:40My having made three older kids move out and another product of
- 4:44really asking myself what I want has created 2 new puppies.
- 4:49And I actually, I will post pictures on my Instagram.
- 4:52They're sitting under my desk right now.
- 4:53It's made it challenging working from home.
- 4:56I was supposed to get started on this podcast about an hour and a
- 4:59half ago, but now they finally settled down their litter mates.
- 5:03They're half King Corso, half a Great Pyrenees 1 is 35 lbs and
- 5:08one is 45 lbs and they're only three months old.
- 5:12So they're going to be some big dogs, probably 100 to 140 lbs.
- 5:17But we, as I had shared on previous episodes, we just had
- 5:20our dog of seven years pass away and I really like it on a whim
- 5:26was like, I really want another dog.
- 5:27And I never saw thought of myself as a dog person, but I
- 5:31started just really implementing about 8 months ago, asking
- 5:34myself what do I want? And then being willing to act on
- 5:37it. And so I told my husband, I
- 5:38really, really want a puppy. And I got my kids to be bought
- 5:41in. And my husband said you bought,
- 5:43you made our kids bought, buy in on it.
- 5:45And that's what took me over. And so we got this puppy.
- 5:48And then last night we went and picked up this puppy's brother
- 5:54and he's actually the biggest one of the litter that there was
- 5:568 puppies in the litter and we named him Moose.
- 6:00And then our current one is Bear.
- 6:01He's about mid size of the litter, but they're still pretty
- 6:04big puppies. And it's been a lot of fun.
- 6:07We let them sleep in our bed last night.
- 6:09We got terrible sleep. So we're going to give them up
- 6:13to the kids tonight and each of them can have one of them in
- 6:16their beds. But this has just been really
- 6:20practicing asking myself what do I want?
- 6:22And I want you guys to know that this shift into summer series,
- 6:27I'm going to really teach you my process of what I walked myself
- 6:29through, to give myself permission of what I want and to
- 6:33also create the life that I love right now.
- 6:35I have so much gratitude towards it and I have so much joy.
- 6:40Just I'm just reveling in the life that I've created.
- 6:43And I know that this is possible for you to, to 100% create
- 6:48whatever result that you want in your life, whether it's a work
- 6:51goal, whether it's a personal goal, whether it's both.
- 6:53I'm really going to teach you even how to have multiple goals
- 6:56at the same time and how to grow the capability and capacity to
- 7:00do it. So one thing that we are going
- 7:03to talk about on, and I'm going to kind of just outline what
- 7:06call one call 2 and call 3 are going to look like.
- 7:09So we're going to start this next week.
- 7:10We're going to start it off on June 3rd.
- 7:12It's going to run Wednesday, June 3rd, Wednesday, June 10th,
- 7:14and Wednesday, June 17th and it's going to be 1 hour over
- 7:18Zoom. It's best to come live, but if
- 7:20you can't, they're going to be replays available inside a
- 7:23private member portal that you can access anytime to rewatch
- 7:25them. And so I'm going to kind of go
- 7:28over the overview of what are each of these calls going to
- 7:31entail. So call one.
- 7:34We're really going to talk about if you could give yourself
- 7:37anything that you wanted this summer, what would it be?
- 7:40And you guys, honestly, this is the hardest artist question.
- 7:43When my coach asked me this about 8 months ago, I said I
- 7:46have no idea. I've never really given myself
- 7:49permission to go after exactly what I've wanted it.
- 7:53It's always been kind of laced with what I think I should be
- 7:55doing or people have believed I should be doing or people
- 7:58pleasing or like this is my next level.
- 8:03Not really. Just asking myself, hey, if I
- 8:05could have anything and do it in any way, how would I want to do
- 8:09it? And so this is something that
- 8:13I've been really practicing in the last eight months.
- 8:15And as I, my adult children are like getting ready to move out
- 8:18and decide what they want for their futures, I'm really
- 8:20encouraging them to open up their imagination of what they
- 8:24want to create and to work backwards.
- 8:27Like what's the end result you want to create and then work
- 8:29backwards from there. So for example, when I started
- 8:33asking myself this about 8 months ago, I said is flight,
- 8:38flight paramedicine and flight nursing something that I want to
- 8:40continue to coach on long term? And my answer was no.
- 8:44I really have realized that a lot of people have not been able
- 8:49to get into flight because of all the other things in their
- 8:51life. And I love the ability to coach
- 8:54you on anything in your life, any aspect of your life.
- 8:57I feel like I am really, really, really good at seeing your
- 9:00thoughts, showing them back to you and helping you make sense
- 9:03so that you can have clarity and move forward on them.
- 9:05And that's really what life coaching is.
- 9:07It's not advice. It's asking you the deeper
- 9:09question so that we can see what are the thoughts and feelings
- 9:11really going on behind those. What are the subset of actions
- 9:15that you're taking? What are the subset of actions
- 9:16you're not taking? And then how do we continue to
- 9:19move forward to create the results that you want?
- 9:21And so in practicing this, this is what we're going to talk
- 9:25about in call. One is if you gave yourself
- 9:28permission to what whatever you want this summer, what would it
- 9:31be? And we're going to kind of
- 9:32outline that and play with that. I'm also going to encourage you
- 9:35to find maybe two things. So for example, a lot of summers
- 9:39I wanted to be able to work full time and be a full time mom,
- 9:42meaning spend a lot of lots of intentional time with my kids
- 9:46and go on vacations and do those things when I wasn't working.
- 9:50So sometimes it's two opposing things that you want and your
- 9:52brains like, Nope, you can't have both.
- 9:54Or you get mom Guild. And I'm going to really teach
- 9:57you not how to not pull back on one, but how to move forward
- 10:00with both and how to have both of them coincide with each other
- 10:03and really propel each other forward.
- 10:05But that's what we're going to talk about in Call one, Call 2.
- 10:09And the way the calls are going to look is that I'm going to do
- 10:11a little discussion, just a little quick 5-10 minute
- 10:13discussion at the beginning. I'm going to ask some questions.
- 10:15I'm going to open it up to coaching so that you guys can
- 10:17get really clear on what your plan is for call one, Call 2.
- 10:22We are going to talk about what are the subset of emotions that
- 10:25come up for you when you think about acting on this plan.
- 10:29So for a lot of people, it's discomfort.
- 10:31It might be mom guilt, it might be embarrassment, It might be a
- 10:35willingness to feel disappointment.
- 10:37So we're going to talk about what are some of these feelings
- 10:39that come up for you? And then also counteracting,
- 10:42what are some of the feelings that you want to generate that
- 10:45are going to help you move forward with these doubts or
- 10:48discomfort or guilt or embarrassment.
- 10:50And often times that's confidence, often times that's
- 10:53courage. Often times that's I got told
- 10:57that I had a lot of moxie when I was a flight nurse.
- 10:59So I'm going to really teach you how do you hold 2 opposing
- 11:02motions together and how do you move forward with this plan and
- 11:06execute it? So we're going to talk about
- 11:07execution and call 2. And then on the final day, final
- 11:11week, on the third week on call 3, we're going to talk about how
- 11:15do you become the person who holds the result of having both
- 11:19things. So I really at the beginning of
- 11:23starting my business, I didn't believe that I could make more
- 11:25money as an entrepreneur, as a life coach, let alone a life
- 11:29coach. I remember a lot of people made
- 11:30fun of Maine when I first started.
- 11:34How could I make more, more money as a life coach and work
- 11:36less hours and do things on my terms?
- 11:38I really just didn't believe it. And as I worked with my life
- 11:42coach and my business coach on a weekly basis, I grew that belief
- 11:45to become that person ahead of time.
- 11:46And that's really how I believe. I got to this so quick.
- 11:49I know there's a lot of entrepreneurs and solar preneurs
- 11:52who fail out, who lose money and whose businesses never take off.
- 11:56And I really attribute mine to complete mindset, complete
- 12:00belief work. So from day one, I worked on the
- 12:02belief that it was possible for for me and I worked on becoming
- 12:07that future me who had that result.
- 12:09And I think that's why I got it so quickly.
- 12:12I really got as a as a full time life coach at three years
- 12:19instead of five. And I think I did it because I
- 12:21worked on becoming that future person now.
- 12:24So I'm going to really teach you when you do that, how to become
- 12:28the person who has both the wants that you want for the
- 12:31summer and then who also goes out and starts acting like that
- 12:35future person now. So we're going to talk about
- 12:37that on Call 3. This shift in the summer series,
- 12:41I wanted to make super accessible for everybody.
- 12:45If you've ever thought about coaching, I know a lot of people
- 12:48that are like, oh, I've done therapy for it didn't work for
- 12:50me. Their coaching is nothing like
- 12:52therapy. Therapy really focuses on where
- 12:55you've been and in your past and why you are the way you are.
- 12:58My life coaching really focuses on where are you right now down,
- 13:02where do you want to go and how do we become that person now?
- 13:05And it's really future focused on how do we grow that belief?
- 13:10How do we grow that confident mindset In every aspect of your
- 13:12life. And I really do this by asking
- 13:14you key questions, looking at your brain, looking at your
- 13:17thoughts that are keeping you stuck and helping you generate
- 13:20ones that are going to propel you forward.
- 13:22So if you've ever thought about life coaching or you've ever
- 13:25thought about how do I create this life I love, this is what I
- 13:29want in the next 5 years. By the end of this three weeks
- 13:31together, you will have a plan. You will know how to execute it,
- 13:34and you will be well on your way to creating the summer that that
- 13:37you've always wanted and the life that you love.
- 13:40I found so much joy and enjoyment in my life and so much
- 13:45peace. And this summer I'm really,
- 13:48really working on continuing to teach these life coaching tools
- 13:52to as many people that want it and as many people that want
- 13:56this help to grow the confidence in every aspect of their life.
- 13:58And really spending intentional time with my kids this summer,
- 14:01I'm really digging in to having family fun.
- 14:04My kids call it force family fun, but that's OK.
