Stop Playing Small: What's Really Getting In Your Way

Stop Playing Small: What's Really Getting In Your Way

Have you ever felt like the thing you want to do has to stay small because everything else in your life is demanding big? Yeah. We need to talk about that. In Episode 52 we are continuing our stumbling block series and this one is personal. We are going deep on playing small — what it actually means, why we do it, and the difference between making something small because your season demands it versus making something small because you don't believe it deserves a seat at the table. Those are two very different things and one of them is quietly working against everything you want. We are also getting into the outside noise. The backhanded comments. The friend who walks into your coffee shop with a Starbucks. The person you keep sharing your excitement with who just gives you a wall. We talk about why those moments hit so hard, what to do when they do, and how to decide what you are actually going to receive and store as truth — and what you are going to crumple up and toss. In this episode we get into: * Why playing something small does not have to mean it is insignificant — and how to know the difference * How spreading one exciting thing across your whole day is actually what kills your momentum not the thing itself * Why you do not need other people to be excited for your excitement in order to keep going * How to take comments captive before they take root in your mind and become your belief * Why their lack of belief is about them and not you * How to stop comparing your chapter two to somebody else's chapter five hundred * Why you have to take yourself seriously before anyone else will * What it means to do it until — and why that is the only timeline that matters * How to go to bed at night and actually feel proud of what you showed up for today This is for the woman who keeps shrinking the thing that matters to her because she is waiting for the right season, the right support, or the right amount of time. You do not need any of those things. You need a small pocket of time and an all in mentality inside of it. Don't play it small even if you can only give it small. Press play. New here? Welcome.

Too Busy and Playing Small? Let's Fix That

Have you ever looked at your calendar and wondered where the time went — and why the one thing you actually want to do keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list? Yeah. We know that feeling. In this episode we are getting real about the two stumbling blocks that are standing between you and the dream you keep telling yourself you will get to someday. And we are breaking them down with zero filter because we have lived both of them firsthand building this very podcast from scratch. Stumbling Block One: Time. Not the lack of it — the belief around it. We talk about why you keep letting everything else bump your goal off the calendar, how to actually time block for the thing that matters to you without the guilt, why later never works and what to do instead, and how 20 messy minutes beats zero perfect ones every single time. Stumbling Block Two: Playing Small. This one stings. If you have ever caught yourself thinking it is just a little thing I am doing — that belief is quietly working against everything you want. We dig into why women undervalue their own goals, how to stop waiting until something feels worthy enough to protect, and what it looks like to finally give your dream a real seat at the table even before it is making you money or making sense to anyone else. We also get into: * Why your belief drives your action and your action drives your results — and what to do if you do not like what you are getting * How to start something when you have absolutely no idea how to do it * Why messy action will always beat waiting until you are ready * How to let go of needing a guaranteed result and show up anyway * What consistency really looks like when life is full and the timing is never perfect * How to find your ignition — the real reason your goal matters — so it stops being optional This is for the woman who has the dream, keeps pushing it down the list, and tells herself she will get to it when things slow down. Things are not going to slow down. But you can get rooted in what matters and start showing up for it today. Even if it is messy. Especially if it is messy. Pull up a chair, grab your coffee, and press play. We are your two besties and we are not going to let you play small today. New here? Welcome. We keep it real, raw and rooted.

Episode 50!!! Why Take Messy Action?!

How to stop overthinking and finally start — the mindset shift that changes everything. If perfectionism, fear of failure, or the pressure to "have it all together" before you start are keeping you stuck, this episode is your wake-up call. On this milestone 50th episode, Jamie & Mo get honest about how messy action — not perfect planning — is the actual secret behind everything worth doing. In this episode you'll learn: why waiting to feel ready is the biggest trap women fall into, how to silence the analysis paralysis that social media creates, why small consistent steps will always outperform the "go big or go home" mindset, and how to find — and trust — your own lane when everyone's telling you to do it differently. Proof of concept: this podcast. 50 episodes. No studio. No script. Just two women who hit record before they had all the answers. You can do the same. XoXo- Jamie & MO

It's me... Hi! I'm the Problem It's Me.

You keep saying you want more. More confidence. Better health. A career that actually fits. A life that feels like yours. But if you're being honest — are your actions matching what you say you want? This episode is about personal ownership. Not as a buzzword. As a way of life. Jamie and Mo get real about what it actually looks like to stop pointing fingers at your circumstances, your past, your job, your family — and start asking the harder question: what's my part in this? Because here's what they know to be true: you get what you tolerate. And if nothing in your life is changing, something in your choices has to. In this conversation they talk about: • Why it's easy to take ownership when life is good — and why most people drop it the second things get hard • The difference between understanding your past and using it as a permanent excuse • How to build real confidence by simply doing what you say you're going to do • What to do when you can't tell if something is out of your control or if you're just telling yourself that • Why you cannot coast uphill — and what it looks like to actually start pedaling This is a tough love episode. The kind where you might feel called out. That's the point. If you have someone in your life who tells you the truth even when it's uncomfortable — you know how much that matters. That's what this is. Press play. Take notes. And then go do something with it. XoXo- Jamie & Mo

Frustration Is Not A Stop Sign

Have you ever been in the middle of chasing something that really matters to you and hit a wall so hard you started wondering if it was even worth it? Yeah. Us too. And that is exactly what we are getting into today. Mo and I are breaking down why frustration is not a sign to stop — it is actually a sign that you are in it. The real it. The stuff worth fighting for. We are talking about the difference between quitting and pivoting, why motivation will always fade on you and what to lean on instead, and how to stop carrying the weight of things you were never meant to bring with you in the first place. We also get into something that stopped both of us in our tracks — the idea that believing in yourself doesn't mean you won't get frustrated. It just means you won't stop when you do. If you are sitting in a season right now where everything feels heavy, where you are second guessing yourself, where you are so close to throwing in the towel on something that actually matters to you — this episode is for you. You have not missed your window. You are not too late. And frustration is not a stop sign. It is a signal to refocus on your reason why. Pull up a chair. We saved you a seat. XoXo- Jamie & Mo
