Earn Your Happy

There’s a balance between coasting and enjoying life, but also doing things that stretch you and get you out of your comfort zone. Chris and I talk about some ways that we’ve been switching up our energy, doing things that make us grow, and setting us up for success when it comes to reaching our goals. We discuss the difference between intentional and unintentional discomforts, and what we do to stay proactive about unintentional discomforts like burnout and weight gain. Plus, Chris shares details about his newest course that’s going to help support you in this transitional economy that we’re in right now.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why intentional discomfort is actually a great thing How our podcasts keep us uncomfortable and push us to have conversations that expand us  Starting with small changes and goals  Confronting where you’re choosing short term pleasure over long term happiness The importance of committing to your goals before your environment tests you   RESOURCES Text BULLETPROOF TO 310-421-0416 to get on the VIP early access list to Chris’ new course!

Yeng was one to watch as she took her husband’s wacky idea of combining peanut butter and whiskey and turned it into a shelf-stable product and Hollywood favorite that reached national distribution in just one short year. An industry disruptor and a woman making waves in a male dominated industry, she is a highly educated woman juggling parenting while running a leading spirits company, creating a brand that goes beyond just whiskey. Skrewball is a lifestyle that is welcoming to all manner of weirdo, maverick and misfit that brings people together in a world of uncertainty. When Yeng isn’t taking over the spirits industry one bottle at a time, she enjoys spending time with her daughters and getting off the grid while traveling to far remote places with her family.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to The Big Leap audiobook, but something new really sticks out to me each time I go back to it. I’ve been thinking a lot about Gay Hendricks’ concept of ‘Upper Limiting’ when you are about to step a giant step into something bigger. That’s when all of the inner saboteurs, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs come back in. I’ve realized that in order to quiet those voices, I need to fully immerse myself in my goal. I share how this idea has shown up in my religious childhood, my fitness competition years, my time in network marketing, and now as I’m getting ready to launch Lite Pink. I talk about ways that I’ve safe-guarded myself to stay on track and build the mental strength that it takes to make those quantum leaps to my dreams.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How to make sure that we’re always walking on the path of purpose  What it looks like to be fully immersed in things that light you up Creating an environment that supports your growth  Confronting the areas of your where you’re self-sabotaging   RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

We’re answering two listener questions today about navigating imposter syndrome and figuring out where to focus your energy. Lauren and I agree that imposter syndrome isn’t necessarily a bad thing一it’s actually a sign of growth and proof that you’re evolving. We talk about how we approach uncharted territory in business with a curious and confident mindset. We also discuss how we prioritize things on our to-do lists and why it's so important to write things out. One of our go-to methods is to map out our timelines, which helps us feel less overwhelmed with everything that’s on our plate. Plus, I break down exactly how to grow your revenue and audience at the same time.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How to embrace imposter syndrome Figuring out the action item that is the path of least resistance to make sales Staying flexible with where you spend your energy  The #1 quality that I see in successful entrepreneurs    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

Does your current routine match the standards that it takes to hit your life goals? What about your environment and the people that you surround yourself with? Chris and I have been noticing that there are gaps between where we want to be and where we currently are, and we’re discussing the tangible ways that we’re closing those gaps. I realized that I was giving myself a lot of space for excuses by working from home, so I’ve switched up my workflow and I’ve already noticed a major difference in my productivity. Chris is celebrating a weight loss milestone and shares how he got there by committing to his health goals.

One of the consistent themes that I notice with the amazing entrepreneurs that I have on this show is their ability to confront their fears and believe that they’re truly meant for more than the status quo. Lauren and I are reflecting on that, plus talking about how we’ve learned to empower each other and play bigger with Lite Pink. We discuss learning how to fail forward, what it takes to expand your network, and how to create a work environment where employees feel supported to take risks. I share how I’ve helped Lauren build up her confidence and grow from an assistant to an A Player. We also touch on the role that mortality plays in our drive to create this legacy-building company.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What has helped me step up to the challenges of launching Lite Pink  Detaching from feelings of self-doubt and unworthiness  Connecting with people who are going to support you in upleveling  Qualities that separate an A Player from a B or C Player  Why leading from fear isn’t an effective and sustainable way to run a business   RESOURCES The 5 Second Rule: Transform your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage by Mel Robbins  Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

We’re joined by our good friend Lindsey Schwartz of Powerhouse Women for today’s He Said, She Said! We each share one moment or event of expansiveness when we did something that felt either scary or irresponsible or unreasonable, but it became this moment that radically upleveled us. I talk about how back in 2009 when we were starting over again from scratch, Chris and I rented an apartment in a ritzy building in Minneapolis, even though it was tiny and out of our comfortable budget range. We wanted to be around people who were at the level we wanted to be at, and over our 18 months of living there, we made it happen. Lindsey talks about her decision to attend her first mastermind event and how she learned to make decisions based on what her future self would do. Plus, Chris touches on his decision to go all-in on his FinTech company and partner with someone who can help him get to his $100 million goal.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Getting yourself into the environments where people are at the level you want to be at  Evaluating who you’re sharing your ideas with  How to make the most out of networking events  Asking bold questions and being transparent about numbers  How to know when you’re dreaming big enough  Why it’s good to sometimes feel like the least experienced person in the room   RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

Fiercely committed to supporting other women, Lindsey invests her time in mentoring women and girls of all ages—from high achieving entrepreneurs to high school students. She’s also an investor in female-founded companies including beverage brand Lite Pink. After seeing numerous women in her life stop short of pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams because of fear and self-doubt, she saw the need for more honest conversations about the ups & downs of entrepreneurship in order to show women that they don’t have to have it all together to get started. From there, the Powerhouse Women community, annual event, and podcast were born, with the motto that we're not meant to do business (or life) alone!
