E02 - How to Say No and Set Some Boundaries

E02 - How to Say No and Set Some Boundaries

Hey Mermaids (and mamas!), Today marks Day 1 of our podcast giveaway + our 2nd official episode! We are chatting about the big two-letter word on the show: NO. Learning to say no can be very hard for many of us. Raise your hand if you identify as a people pleaser or a recovering people pleaser? If yes, this episode is for you! Saying no is something that is still a work in progress for me, but it is something I practice every single day -- with my little Bailey, in my business, with my team. With anyone. I make sure that I voice my desires, and I do so kindly but firmly. Key takeaways in today's episode: 1. No is a full sentence. Practice saying no on a daily basis -- to everything that doesn't serve you or bring your joy. 2. You can say no kindly, but firmly. You don't need to be Ursula the Witch about it. You can say no without justifying it to anyone. Or if you want to share why, make sure you aren't asking for permission, but merely informing and sharing why it's important to you. 3. If you say yes to everything, you are a) saying no to what truly lights you up b) you won't be good at every single thing and will be giving it 10% of your energy instead of 100%. 4. You cannot make everyone happy. It's impossible. So make sure you don't say yes to everything at the cost of yourself: your values, your integrity, what makes you who you are. Loved this episode?

EP01 - Reclaim Your Magic ft. Kirti Kelly

Hey Mermaids (and mamas!), We are officially LIVE and I am so excited to have this podcast out in the world! It's going to be magical and all things amazing and inspiring. My very first podcast guest today is someone who I deeply appreciate and admire. Say hello to Kirti Kelly, a mama, mentor, and a powerful transformation catalyst and thread that holds a safe space together for women to find themselves.  From being shy to self-assured, Kirti is now self-assured, knowing that she no longer needs to prove her worth. She is already worthy, as she is.  She realized then and there: The Universe takes care of everything and its magic is infinite. The magic within us is infinite.   Today, being a vessel of love and support to other women is the greatest service that she can render to the world. Kirti is on a mission to hold safe and sacred space for women as they awaken the inner healer within, on their own time. Her aim is to show every woman that they have their magic within them and that ANYTHING is possible.  You deserve to own your skin and consciously live the life you dream of—and it would be an honor to be with you along the way. In this episode, Sherri and Kirti have an open conversation on what it means to be a woman, a mama, AND an empath at heart. They chat about what it means to be an empath and the 3 different types of empaths, how to manage empathic nature, and how to establish boundaries. It's easy to feel lost on our journey into motherhood. We lose our sense of self, perhaps our confidence, our voice, and we dim down who we are... because we want to please everyone around us. Here's the thing: Parent your kids, live your life in a way that works for you! Motherhood can be challenging, but it also awakens us into our purpose. For some this happens right away, for others, this happens a bit later in life. No matter where you're at, own it, embrace it, and lean into it. There is power in being real, raw, and truly YOU.
