Speaker 1: Hello, my friends from all across the globe, and welcome
0:20
Speaker 1: to your Enriched Self podcast. I am your host, Mylene Noir.
0:26
Speaker 1: I am an emotional wellness and empowerment coach. And what
0:30
Speaker 1: that means is I understand that there is power in
0:37
Speaker 1: what you do and how you show up in this life.
0:41
Speaker 1: But it starts with how you show up for yourself.
0:45
Speaker 1: That's the key. And in order to be the best
0:49
Speaker 1: version of you, you must manage your thoughts. And so
0:54
Speaker 1: my job each and every week is to curate a
0:57
Speaker 1: space so that you can manage your thoughts. When you
1:02
Speaker 1: think about your life and how you've navigated through your
1:05
Speaker 1: life and even now, you don't spend a lot of
1:09
Speaker 1: time managing your thoughts, just like you do your closet.
1:13
Speaker 1: Right there might be things that need to be given away,
1:16
Speaker 1: thrown away. We don't do that with our thoughts. We
1:20
Speaker 1: hold on to everything. And so what this podcast allows
1:23
Speaker 1: us to do is have those conversations and start to
1:26
Speaker 1: rethink possible. Where should my life be going and what
1:31
Speaker 1: am I doing? How am I thinking about what I
1:36
Speaker 1: need to be doing? And so that's what we do
1:38
Speaker 1: here each and every week because I want you to
1:41
Speaker 1: be the best version of yourself and it starts with
1:45
Speaker 1: you becoming more of your enriched health. And so if
1:48
Speaker 1: you are new to this podcast, I want to thank you.
1:51
Speaker 1: I want to welcome you and listen. You're in for
1:54
Speaker 1: a treat. I know that you are brought here on purpose,
1:58
Speaker 1: for a purpose. And if you are a repeat listener,
2:02
Speaker 1: I am grateful for you for every episode that you
2:06
Speaker 1: have listened to, participated in, shared, liked, commented, given your feedback.
2:12
Speaker 1: All of those things matter. You make this podcast stay
2:18
Speaker 1: consistent and stay relevant to everything that's happening in your
2:23
Speaker 1: world and in our world. And I want to thank you,
2:25
Speaker 1: thank you from the bottom of my heart. Now, if
2:30
Speaker 1: you know, you know, one of the things I do
2:32
Speaker 1: on this podcast each and every week is I make
2:36
Speaker 1: a deposit into the bank of you, and I do
2:40
Speaker 1: that by way of affirmations. Affirmations are a great way
2:47
Speaker 1: to start your day and to command your mourning. And
2:55
Speaker 1: this week's affirmation is I choose simplicity. My small intentional
3:02
Speaker 1: steps carry great meaning and move me closer to the
3:08
Speaker 1: life I desire. I choose simplicity. My small intentional steps
3:17
Speaker 1: carry great meaning and move me closer to the life
3:22
Speaker 1: I desire. I choose simplicity. My small intentional steps carry
3:33
Speaker 1: great meaning and move me closer to the life I desire. Now,
3:45
Speaker 1: let's get ready for this week's episode of the Your
3:51
Speaker 1: Enriched Self podcast. When you think about it, there are
4:00
Speaker 1: many things that can make life very complex. There is
4:04
Speaker 1: enough challenges that you face each day, some compounding upon
4:11
Speaker 1: one another, and depending on the lens that you are
4:14
Speaker 1: living and seeing and experiencing and watching life through, there
4:19
Speaker 1: are many intricacies and avenues that you have to walk
4:26
Speaker 1: through and navigate through each and every day. And I
4:29
Speaker 1: think that's why I take so much effort to curate
4:33
Speaker 1: a space like this, to create a podcast like this
4:38
Speaker 1: for such a time like this, where you can have
4:42
Speaker 1: a safe space to be expressive. I'm a person that's
4:47
Speaker 1: big into simplicity. I like to keep things simple and
4:51
Speaker 1: really practical for how we live life and how we
4:55
Speaker 1: experience life. And I was reminded of how simple life
4:59
Speaker 1: can be by a coworker who recently expressed to the
5:04
Speaker 1: team that his goal in twenty twenty five was to
5:11
Speaker 1: meet three new people and hear their story. That is
5:17
Speaker 1: the most simple goal that I've ever heard somebody utter
5:22
Speaker 1: about what they want to achieve, accomplished, and do in
5:27
Speaker 1: a given year. And for some that might seem very basic,
5:32
Speaker 1: it may not seem as ambitious. But I loved it.
5:37
Speaker 1: It really filled my heart up, and I'm like, I
5:39
Speaker 1: got to talk about this on the podcast because I
5:41
Speaker 1: think when we think, when you think about what you
5:46
Speaker 1: want to accomplish, when you set in motion what it
5:49
Speaker 1: is that you want to do, it often feels like
5:54
Speaker 1: it has to be bigger and larger and more intense
5:57
Speaker 1: than the previous year, or the last thing you did,
6:01
Speaker 1: or the last thing you heard or saw, or what
6:03
Speaker 1: your friends did. And when you really break it down
6:06
Speaker 1: into the most simple elements, it comes down to connection.
6:10
Speaker 1: It comes down to really hearing. That's what he said.
6:14
Speaker 1: I want to meet three new people and hear their story,
6:21
Speaker 1: and that right there tells me a lot about that individual.
6:25
Speaker 1: I met this person. They joined our team not too
6:28
Speaker 1: long ago. And although this person isn't as vocal and
6:32
Speaker 1: as you know, boisterous or whatever you want to call it,
6:37
Speaker 1: when they speak, it is clear that they have a
6:41
Speaker 1: perspective and a point of view. And this was just
6:44
Speaker 1: another example of being intentional about the things you want
6:49
Speaker 1: to do and the things you want to accomplish. You know,
6:52
Speaker 1: I know that we live in a world that has
6:54
Speaker 1: big goals. We love when people are striving for the
6:57
Speaker 1: big goal and we're ten xing your life, right. You
7:00
Speaker 1: see those infomercials and those odds on social media that
7:05
Speaker 1: ten ext your life, crush the year, go Bigger, go Home.
7:08
Speaker 1: We hear these sayings, and the truth is most of
7:15
Speaker 1: us don't need bigger goals. We need simpler goals. We
7:19
Speaker 1: need goals that connect us to the world around us,
7:23
Speaker 1: connect us to ourselves. Because my coworker would go on
7:28
Speaker 1: to say, what he learned about this individual, and he
7:31
Speaker 1: learned about this individual's goals, and the person recently shared
7:36
Speaker 1: with him again, this person he had just met shared
7:40
Speaker 1: with him that they just completed their goal. And what
7:43
Speaker 1: a beauty, what a wonderful gift it is to find someone,
7:51
Speaker 1: hear their story, get the common ground, and get the
7:55
Speaker 1: full circle closure on what they were able to accomplish.
7:59
Speaker 1: I think is so sweet and so simple, And so
8:03
Speaker 1: that's the charge this week, is that this simple goal
8:10
Speaker 1: among two strangers opened up a meaningful friendship. What can
8:16
Speaker 1: you do with a meaningful friendship? What can you do
8:23
Speaker 1: when you discover that you and someone else has some
8:28
Speaker 1: things in common that you can potentially use or not.
8:35
Speaker 1: It is the most simple thing to do. So it
8:41
Speaker 1: is so important to move with great intention. And I
8:45
Speaker 1: loved that my coworker made that great intention. So there
8:52
Speaker 1: are three things I gleaned from him sharing this with
8:57
Speaker 1: the team. Number one is said simplicity. Simplicity creates consistency. Right,
9:05
Speaker 1: a lot of times when you think about the big
9:07
Speaker 1: goals you have, and a lot of you have had
9:09
Speaker 1: big goals and maybe have goals right now that you
9:12
Speaker 1: don't feel like you have accomplished because they don't hit
9:15
Speaker 1: the mark, they don't hit that stamp that said this
9:18
Speaker 1: is done. They overwhelm you and overwhelming overwhelming lee. They
9:27
Speaker 1: put you into inaction. So all of the momentum you
9:31
Speaker 1: were building to go across and do this thing, you
9:35
Speaker 1: got stopped by the overwhelm and there is no action.
9:42
Speaker 1: I think when you keep it simple, that used to
9:46
Speaker 1: be a saying kiss keep it simple stupid. When you
9:48
Speaker 1: keep it simple, you're more likely to follow through. And
9:53
Speaker 1: what I like about consistency and when you do it small,
9:57
Speaker 1: because you can do it big, but when you do
10:00
Speaker 1: consistency small, those mini steps, those micro steps, whatever you
10:04
Speaker 1: want to call them. They help you build trust within yourself.
10:09
Speaker 1: And let me tell you what that is the most
10:12
Speaker 1: important equity that you can be building. The most important
10:18
Speaker 1: currency that you can have is self trust. The second
10:22
Speaker 1: point that this brought me to is that intention builds meaning.
10:29
Speaker 1: It brings out. The meaning is not just what you do,
10:35
Speaker 1: it's how you do it right. That small intention, that
10:41
Speaker 1: small action to want to meet someone and hear their story,
10:48
Speaker 1: landed my co worker with learning more about someone, understanding
10:56
Speaker 1: the purpose and the heart of that in individual and
11:01
Speaker 1: having purpose and heart being that intentional of a person,
11:06
Speaker 1: It carries such a meaning and it's impacted me. I
11:10
Speaker 1: know a few of us on the team reflected on it,
11:14
Speaker 1: and we commented on it. And it has a ripple
11:18
Speaker 1: effect in his life. As I mentioned, him and this friend,
11:22
Speaker 1: this newfound friend, were able to connect over this person,
11:26
Speaker 1: achieving some goals that they had talked about when they
11:29
Speaker 1: met over coffee. But it also has a ripple effect
11:36
Speaker 1: on his life and this person that he has met
11:39
Speaker 1: as well, this newfound relationship. So intention bills meaning, It
11:45
Speaker 1: brings meaning out. And finally, I love that he was
11:51
Speaker 1: not just intentional, but open openness invites growth, and if
11:58
Speaker 1: you are listening to this podcast, I say it almost
12:00
Speaker 1: every week, you are here to be the best version
12:03
Speaker 1: of yourself. That simple intentional goal is often the key
12:09
Speaker 1: to open the door to unexpected lessons connections. As we've
12:16
Speaker 1: talked about oportunities, I heard a story a few years
12:23
Speaker 1: ago about a gentleman that was a trucker. He rode
12:29
Speaker 1: trucks for a living, so he would often leave his family.
12:32
Speaker 1: He had a small family, two daughters, his wife, and
12:35
Speaker 1: go off and do his work. And it just so
12:40
Speaker 1: happened one day he was at a truck stop and
12:44
Speaker 1: he met somebody and they had conversation, and this person
12:48
Speaker 1: talked to him about an opportunity that would allow him
12:51
Speaker 1: to work from home. Now, for somebody who's been on
12:54
Speaker 1: the road trucking for years, this sounded like something he
12:57
Speaker 1: had to stop and think about for a second. Right,
13:01
Speaker 1: his family started to grow and his kids started to
13:05
Speaker 1: have more needs. It just seems like as they get
13:08
Speaker 1: older and they start to matriculate through school, the needs grow, right,
13:12
Speaker 1: the expectations, the things that they do, the activities that
13:16
Speaker 1: they participated in. So all of this sounded really good,
13:19
Speaker 1: and he truly explored it, and he landed a work
13:23
Speaker 1: from home job. It was fascinating that he would spend
13:27
Speaker 1: all these years driving a truck and in one day
13:31
Speaker 1: he was in a position to listen to, to connect with,
13:37
Speaker 1: and to eventually land this opportunity to work from home.
13:43
Speaker 1: This is how things would end up working out. And
13:47
Speaker 1: for some it may seem like that didn't work out,
13:49
Speaker 1: but it did because shortly thereafter, this gentleman, this father,
13:55
Speaker 1: and this husband learned that his wife was sick and
14:00
Speaker 1: that sickness required him to be available more than often
14:07
Speaker 1: for his family, and he could do that now he
14:12
Speaker 1: had the flexibility, He had the freedom in his schedule
14:16
Speaker 1: to do exactly what was needed in the season where
14:20
Speaker 1: his wife was going through these significant health and life changes.
14:26
Speaker 1: And it starts with that type of openness. You just
14:31
Speaker 1: never know what opportunity you've unlocked just by connecting. In
14:39
Speaker 1: this case with my coworker, he shared a story of
14:42
Speaker 1: meeting a new person and he was open to hearing
14:46
Speaker 1: the small things but getting these big insights about what
14:50
Speaker 1: this person wanted to accomplish. I think it is so
14:55
Speaker 1: important to create this framework and make sure that you
15:03
Speaker 1: are doing all you can to connect to balance the
15:08
Speaker 1: day to day, the things that you're required to do
15:10
Speaker 1: because you're at work and you have all these expectations
15:14
Speaker 1: and responsibilities. But you can be present. You can be
15:20
Speaker 1: intentional about your goals. The truth is, your goals don't
15:27
Speaker 1: have to be complicated. What complicates your goals is everything
15:31
Speaker 1: you're hearing about and seeing about. And you know what
15:36
Speaker 1: the world and the culture is telling you about what
15:40
Speaker 1: your goals need to look like and feel like. But
15:43
Speaker 1: if you were to just look within, and you are
15:45
Speaker 1: to search your heart right now, I'm encouraging you to
15:50
Speaker 1: take the smallest step, take it with the best intention,
15:58
Speaker 1: and it will carry an amazing impact. My coworker when
16:04
Speaker 1: he shared that story, and I'm sure when he created
16:07
Speaker 1: this goal for himself, he wasn't intended to change the world.
16:12
Speaker 1: He didn't intend to make the world a better place.
16:17
Speaker 1: He simply just wanted to meet three new people. And
16:22
Speaker 1: yet that simple intention opened up a friendship, created a
16:29
Speaker 1: new space for him to talk about things that he
16:33
Speaker 1: too were interested in. You know, life can shift that
16:39
Speaker 1: way at any given moment, but it starts with starting
16:46
Speaker 1: with the smallest of goals, and you can have the
16:54
Speaker 1: biggest impact. The key is to be intentional and stay intentional.
17:12
