  Speaker 1: Several days ago, in episode number 132, I started a four-part series to celebrate back to school.

  Speaker 1: I'm calling this series Put Yourself First.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: In that first show, I shared my own perspective as an empty nest or parent and how, after we dropped off our daughter to college, I made a decision that it was okay for me to do something greater in life.

  Speaker 1: I decided for me.

  Speaker 1: You're just completing Today for this third part of the series, I want to talk about giving yourself permission to shine.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: If you've been in a support role for a long time, you're probably used to being the one who makes others look good.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: That's what we do as parents.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: We support them.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Well, now it's your turn, but you have to start by giving yourself permission that it's okay for you to shine.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: If you haven't done this in a while, that might not be so easy.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Because here's the thing whatever you do next, you want to be great at it.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question Is it okay for you to be even greater at this new thing than you were as a parent.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Do you give yourself permission for that to be the case?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: You need to.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I talk about this idea of giving yourself permission more in the video training series I created called Put Yourself First.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: It's free.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: It's four videos, one every day followed by a short exercise.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I think it's a great way to pause, reflect and then be able to move forward with confidence in the next chapter in your life.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: In one of those videos, I talk a lot more about this idea of permission and why it's so vital that we address it head-on, because if you don't, you may have this subconscious belief that you don't address and it may sabotage you from having success moving forward.
