The Influencer Podcast

Today we have my friend Kindra Hall on the podcast with us! Kindra has become the go-to expert for storytelling in business and beyond. She is a sought-after speaker and best-selling author. Kindra joins us today to take us inside her new book, Choose Your Story, Choose Your Life: Silence Your Inner Critic and Rewrite Your Life from the Inside Out. Today Kindra walks us through how to take complete control of your self-stories and create the life you've always dreamed of. This episode could not come at a better time, especially after last week's episode that was a real situation of choosing a better story for your life. Choose Your Story, Choose Your Life is more than an optimistic mindset. It's a new window into human psychology, your psychology, that sheds light on the invisible barriers that have been stopping you—and the way to instill new stories to build the life you want.  Choose Your Story reveals the necessary steps readers need to take to pivot their thinking, take control of their self-stories, and uncover the path to build the life they want. I started reading this book over Christmas break and really resonated with it. I'm excited to bring it and Kindra to you today After today you will: Challenge everything you think you know about how your life has been built. Catch your inner storyteller in the act and identify the stories holding you back. Choose better stories and effectively install them so they are front and center. Overcome fears and self-doubt by changing the tone of your self-story to live your life in a way you never have before.

I'll admit it. The day we recorded this episode of The Influencer Podcast, I was in a funky place. Here's the deal: At the time of this recording, I had just made a mistake and missed something important to me for the second time! I was incredibly embarrassed. I started going down the storyline of how I could have handled things differently. I was blaming myself. I was seeing everything through the lens of fear. I was being very hard on myself and creating a lot of unnecessary pain. I kept saying, "What's wrong with you? How could you let this happen? You should be ashamed of yourself!" ^^ This, my friend, is what I call the misery cycle. It ain't fun. But you can escape this vicious cycle and feel freer than you ever have before. In this live talk, I'll tell you exactly how. But that's not all... I paused and reached for one of my favorite writing practices to use whenever I am hard on myself … and I chose again! I chose to recognize that although this outcome wasn't what I'd hoped for, it was exactly what I needed. It was an opportunity for me to create awareness around my self-criticism and pity, surrender, and be grateful for the new actions and choices I can take. If you tend to be self-critical, intolerant, or hard on yourself, you'll connect to this episode! You'll Hear: Why we are so hard ourselves and how to release the negative self-talk How to stop the "misery spin" and learn what you need to The writing practice called the 3 A's that I use to release guilt and shame How to see every experience as a learning opportunity to get closer to love How to give yourself permission to be imperfect and messy The Questions I leave you with are: What story are you living by? What story do you want to live by this year? Are you underestimating the power of your purpose?

I'll admit it. The day I recorded this episode of The Influencer Podcast, I was scared.   I knew I was going to share something I'd recently discovered about myself that wasn't so pretty.   Here's the deal: Today, I'm walking you through one of my deepest fears...being "found out."    In 2021 I wrote a book. During this time, I had massive discoveries. One was that I had a hard time internalizing my accomplishments. I also discovered I lived with a persistent fear of being exposed as a 'fraud.'   This is also known as imposter syndrome.    I share some examples of this in my life and the research I found that helped me see where my delusions around imposter syndrome were coming from.   But there's more to the story …   This created a domino effect of uncovering truths about my other fears, including perfectionism, comparison, and self-doubt.   I uncovered what this deep-rooted fear was all about: rejection.   I used five tools from this discovery that helped me release this fear and step into a more loving and kind place with myself.   In this episode, you'll hear: The 6 common characteristic's that define imposter syndrome and how they build upon each other The 5 Steps to Releasing Your Fears How to use an "Evidence Lens" to support your inner confidence Ways to trust and care for yourself when you have fear How to use your fear as a pathway to peace Why we fear shame ourselves and how to stop doing it No matter what's going on in your life, you have a choice. It only takes a slight shift in direction to begin to change your life. For more episodes, go to juliesolomon.net/podcast. 

2021 was one of the most challenging years I've had in over a decade, personally, emotionally and spiritually. It also led to many new discoveries and gifts that I hope you find useful as well if you are facing challenging times.
