This week I have image consultant, transformation coach, and personal brand strategist Mia LaMotte on the podcast to geek out about branding and her company Brand Disruptors. For years, Mia has been giving people permission to be themselves instead of trying to fit into someone else’s box. And now, she’s teaching us how to express ourselves authentically online and in real life.  In this episode, you will hear: * The importance of not changing yourself for the sake of having an “appropriate” or “professional” brand * How your perception of yourself directly influences what other people think of you * How to break out of the proper lady, good girl box that so many women are taught to fit into * That there’s no wrong way to represent your brand when you’re true to yourself * And her top tip for standing out amongst the crowd and attracting the right people to your message Coaching Questions & Thoughts:   What particular boxes have you been trying to fit into? What labels have you been taught to wear that don’t exactly align with who you are? Next time you’re thinking about showing up in a certain way, ask yourself: is this something I like or am I doing it because it’s something that would be less controversial? Who are your two archetypal people who — when combined — best describe who you are and what you bring to the table? For example, I like to describe myself as Whitney Cummings meets Tony Robbins. How much permission are you giving yourself to just be yourself? In what ways are you not showing up authentically? Quotes: “We all have a brand, whether we curate it or not.” - Mia LaMotte “It's really about leaning more into who you are instead of trying to be somebody that you're not.” - Mia LaMotte “What we think about ourselves actually shows on the outside.” - Mia LaMotte “There’s really no better personal growth program than to build a brand and become an entrepreneur.” - Shereen Thor “When we stop growing, we’re dead.” - Mia LaMotte Resources: Brand Disruptors Retreats & Programs [https://www.mialamotteprograms.com/brand-disruptors] Brand Disruptors Podcast [https://www.mialamotteprograms.com/podcast] Mia’s Website [https://mialamotte.com/] Mia’s Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/mialamotteimage/?hl=en] Stop keeping up with the Jones’ and learn all the science-based tips I learned from Yale on what actually makes us happy!

This week, I’m going on a rant y'all. As a coach, I occasionally work with people who say they want to change their lives but don’t do what it takes actually to make it happen. Why? Because they don’t have enough skin in the game. In this episode, you will hear: * What it really means to have skin in the game * Why it’s insanely necessary to have a high level of commitment to your life and your dreams * The soulful, deep AF reason why coaching and personal development tools can be expensive * What happens when your commitment level is low Coaching Questions & Thoughts: Where in your life are you passive? Complaining about your circumstances without doing anything to change them? What is one action you can do today that will move the needle forward towards your dreams? Quotes: “You have to have a high level of commitment to your dreams.” - Shereen Thor Resources:Stop keeping up with the Jones’ and learn all the science-based tips I learned from Yale on what actually makes us happy!

This week I have writer, consultant, entrepreneur, and creative mermaid, Alexandra Franzen on the podcast to dish a life without social media and how to live a life that’s true to you. After quitting her job in public radio 11 years ago, Alexandra started working as a self-employed writer. Now she’s written articles for Time and Forbes, published six books, and teaches courses on writing, publishing, marketing, and getting things done from her beautiful home in Hawaii. In this episode, you will hear: * The story of how a summer hiatus from Twitter led to her giving up social media altogether * Why being uncomfortable and brave are vital for surviving those first few years as an entrepreneur * How experimenting with life has helped her forge her own path * What it really takes to write a good book * And her #1 tip for book writing that will make the whole project less overwhelming Coaching Questions & Thoughts:   What is your relationship to social media? Do you feel like it’s a tool you use for creativity and connection, or is it more of a habitual distraction? Do you like the person you’re becoming when you use social media? If not, what’s a small, non-committal hiatus you could take that would give you the space to see who you are without it? What’s a hobby or obsession that you keep saying no to? Could you give yourself permission to try it and see what happens? Quotes: “After that initial withdrawal, what I noticed was just a feeling of quiet and so much space in my brain.” — Alexandra Franzen “Nothing is forever, and life is full of surprises.” — Alexandra Franzen “It was uncomfortable at first because I had all those feelings, ‘I don't want to bother people.’ ‘I don't want to sound desperate. All the things — but it was actually beautiful how wrong I was.” — Alexandra Franzen “Doing that gave me such a sense of courage because I felt like, ‘if I can fly a helicopter, I can finish this essay and submitted by the deadline.’” — Alexandra Franzen “Sometimes we have certain hobbies or obsessions or passions that come in for a brief time to teach you a lesson or to shape who you are to help you become stronger and grow.” — Alexandra Franzen Resources: Alexandra Franzen’s Website [http://www.alexandrafranzen.com/] Alexandra Franzen’s Courses (including the Tiny Book Course mentioned in this episode) [http://www.alexandrafranzen.com/retreats/] YouCanGetItDone.com [https://www.youcangetitdone.com/] Stop keeping up with the Jones’ and learn all the science-based tips I learned from Yale on what actually makes us happy!
