361: Take Off Your Armor, Put On Your Cape

Are you ready for some truth-telling???

It’s time to take off your armor.

You deserve to embrace and appreciate all parts of yourself and your story, not just the pretty parts.

You deserve to reframe and reset your mindset around the struggles in your life, not settle for constant self-doubt and negative self-talk.

You deserve to get curious about who you are and where you want to go in life, not stay the course that is no longer lighting you up.

You deserve to grow and expand and become a more positive, powerful, purposeful version of yourself, not shrink in frustration and worry that you'll never get all the things you want.

Not only do you deserve all this - you are TRULY CAPABLE of all this.

You are capable of embracing all of you and all of your story.

You are capable of reframing and resetting your mindset so you can shut down that negative self-talk.

You are capable of getting curious about where you want to go in the next 3, 6, 12 months and actually starting to take steps to get yourself there.

You are capable of growing and expanding into a more positive, powerful and purposeful version of yourself starting right now.

If you're struggling with your identity - who you are, where you've come from, where you want to go - you are not alone. And it's time to take off your armor. The armor that you think is protecting you is actually holding you back from taking action, building momentum, and realizing what you're truly capable of.

Here’s what your armor might look like:

• keeping people at arm’s length
• Laughing when you are hurting instead of speaking up for yourself
• Keeping secrets and holding shame around your stories
• Playing small out of fear of failure or fear of looking silly
• Making others look small in order to feel better about yourself (gossiping about other women, telling other women’s stories, passing judgment on other women’s bodies, choices, success stories)
• Staying comfortable and stagnant instead of taking a chance to step into bigger roles/opportunities
