Ready to start sharing more of your story in your business, in your platform, or simply with your friends and neighbors? But somehow, you always talk yourself out of it?

Tune in as Mary invites on author, Certified Business Coach, and Ramsey personality, Christy Wright as they dive into how to dismiss, control, and take your thoughts captive so you can make way to share your story with those who need it most. You'll learn how to move past unhealthy expectations in a relationship, why your story doesn't disqualify you but is actually the reason people will buy from you, and why people will be impressed by your success, but will connect with your weakness.

It's the type of nudge that doesn't simply go away, it keeps reminding you it's there and waiting for you - but it is continually drowned out by the louder voice of fear and doubt. It's these moments - these minutes bursting with impactful purpose - where it's imperative that courage and belief win out over the insecurity - because the world needs the gifting that only you hold.

Always Expecting the Worst? Why Optimism is the New Grit with Jess Ekstrom

What if optimism wasn't conditional? What if it was less of a personality or mood and more of a strategy? If you find it difficult to see possibilities and remain optimistic toward your goals, especially when circumstances seem dire - you're not alone. Today's podcast with author and founder, Jess Ekstrom, will challenge and inspire you to rethink optimism and the power behind it. For Jess, it's about believing in better, even when you can't see it yet. It's a reserve tank to tap into when things get hard. Jess rose from the ashes to create an incredible organization, Headbands of Hope, literally out of her college dorm room. For every headband sold, one is given away to a child with cancer. And she didn't stop there. Jess has become a published author and sought-after speaker featured on Good Morning America and the TODAY Show, as well as The Huffington Post, Vanity Fair, Forbes, Entrepreneur, and many more. Jess knows a thing or two about hard times. As an intern with Make a Wish in college, Jess spent time with children in the final stages of disease. And her family was involved in a very public scandal while she was in high school, eventually losing everything. But tough times like these taught Jess the meaning and value behind true optimism. She uncovers that tough times present us with a choice: to make the excuse to do less or find the reason to do more. If you're gripping your outcomes with a clenched fist and ready to stop chasing and hustling - this episode is for you. It's time to stop letting your plans kill your possibilities, activate your purpose, and become energized by possibility - not paralyzed by uncertainty. It's your time. Check out Jess and her new book out TODAY! https://jessekstrom.com/buy-the-book/ @jess_ekstrom
