Get ready Queens. Today's episode is a little spicy!
We are talking about pathologizing people-pleasing and the first thing I want you to know is that people-pleasing is perfectly normal and NOT an identity.
Listen in as I share how you can determine if you are pathologizing people-pleasing and how you can use this behavior for your benefit using the four “R” method.

It’s not uncommon for my clients to acknowledge that they don’t feel particularly safe in their life. Whether it’s the external safety of feeling protected and looked after, and/or the feeling safe in your own skin… safety is one of our primary concerns as a human being. This may be true for you as well.
Not feeling safe can look like a pattern of anxiety and/or depression. You may even restrict what you do and when, such as pursuing your epic sh*t.
Becoming her own safety zone was the goal of today's guest, my client and master life coach, Goli Kalkhoran. Listen in as she shares how she was able to cultivate an unconditional safe harbor for herself and move into a space of thriving.

Being too big for your britches is defined as being conceited or self-important. What this statement is saying to me is there is a “right” way and a” wrong” way to be confident.
There is nothing more fearful for a high-achieving black woman than the possibility of stepping outside of what is the norm.
This is a conditioned threat we have been taught and have internalized and it leans to us asking such questions as:
- Am I being too big for my britches?
- Am I crazy for wanting to do this?
- Am I overstepping my bounds?
The answer is NO! The success that you want is available to you, but you must stop internalizing this belief in order to step into your own authority and move toward your epic goal.
Listen in as we explore what it would be like if the thought of being too big for your britches wasn't a thang and discuss strategies you can implement to take your agency back from this being a condition threat.

We are not our thoughts.
Thoughts are merely thoughts, they do not paint the picture of who we are. It’s not our thoughts themselves that bring things to fruition, it’s our actions. And so it is important to manage our thoughts so that we will take actions that will actually serve us. It’s all about being aware that the intrusive, scary thoughts are merely unsubstantial nothingness that we should question and challenge, and that our intentional, positive thoughts can help shape our behaviors in productive ways. Our brain adds its own narrative to everyday events which we accept as truth. It's time to tell our brains NO and change the narrative. Listen in to learn how.
If you want help with this work, I invite you to reach out to me. I’d love to support you on this journey.

Today we are talking about the invisible enemy that often stops us from completing our assignments, reaching our goals, enjoying our relationships and truly realizing our potential in our journey toward high achievement. It's called panic.
Panic is a sudden, uncontrollable fear or anxiety often causing wildly unthinking behavior. Sometimes it's operating under the surface with a constant gnawing in our stomach, or having us operate at 80 miles per hour and we don't even understand why.
Panic, stress, anxiety can all be our most formidable adversaries, but know that these are responses, not reality. Again, they are responses, not our reality. And since they’re a response we can learn to control them. In this episode, I'll share with you exactly how you can do just that. Press play to learn more.
