One of the beliefs that I’m here to dismantle is that we have to be busy to have value. Busy is not a badge of honor. This comes up so often in my interactions with people who I talk to on social media, in my coaching programs or during speaking engagements. And instead of just going along with the narrative that I must be so busy as a wife, mom of 3 and business owner, I take a stand and say NO. That’s not my goal. And that’s not my desire. And I’m not going to pretend that it is to “fit in.”
I want to encourage you to dismantle the beliefs, old thoughts, old identities that you’ve outgrown. Do this for yourself and do this publicly as a service. This is at the core of being a sacred messenger with your work.
Today I’m talking about how to jump on your opportunity to change a narrative that’s ripe for disruption. Enjoy this episode of COACH MAGIC and thanks for tuning in! Please show some love by leaving a review. THANK YOU! Xo
We get stronger because you feel how good it feels and that's it. It's a whole, the opportunity for all of you is to really know what it's like to feel good as you do. Good. And the better that you feel, the more energy you have, the more reserves you have in your tank to do the good, to create the program, to serve the clients, to put out this message, to put out this program, to make your podcast to put on a retreat, uh, you know, like whatever it is that you want to do.
And then that that's just business stuff. And we not even talking about other things, you know, philanthropic things that you want to do, things within your family, things within your home. There's so much, there's so much. I have the energy to give to those volunteer opportunities because I treat myself like a queen.
I don't max myself out.
I have a lot of people who will reach out to me, I would say kind of like a cold pitch, you know, they're either reaching out to me on Facebook message or LinkedIn. I rarely check my messages on LinkedIn. I'll go in every few months. I feel like there are so many pitches over there.
It can work, you know, people are like, Hey, I'm inviting you to this thing. Or, Hey, thanks for connecting. You want to hop on a call? I never want to do that. PS. That's just me. Some people would love that. Like, yeah, let's hop on a call. Like I that's, to me is that I'm not being an energy queen if I were to do that.
But for other people that might be like, they're so in their energy queenness to do that. But any here, that's not, my point is not the pitches that happen in these, these inboxes. But when someone starts I know you're busy.
Actually, I'm not,
uh, I'm not bored, but the whole busy thing to me is such a, that to me is like, why are we doing that? Why are you even saying that? Why are we aiming for that? Why is that the benchmark that we're trying to hit? Like the busier we are, the better we are is that the badge of honor to me, that's just not, it that's not.
And an energy queen does not aim to be busy. Does not aim to be busy. That's not your badge. That's not the benchmark. That's not the target that you're trying to hit. And so. No, no, I'm not busy. And it's almost like if someone comes into your inbox saying that it's almost like they're apologizing.
They're apologizing for coming in. I know you're really busy. You're assuming something. Number one. And number two, why are we even coming in with that? No. No. So I will call people in on that. Like if I'm on a podcast and someone's like, yeah, we're the busy. I was like, actually, no, I will jump on that because I'm looking to dismantle that belief.
And so I want to encourage you all as well, too, to continue dismantling the beliefs, dismantling those old thoughts, those old statements, because that's actually not, that's not true and that's not my goal. And, um, no. So be willing to jump on those things. You can do it in a respectful way, but you don't have to be like, yeah.
Okay. And I was like, actually now, um, because we are getting less busy. We're getting less cool, crazy busy. We're getting less everything on our calendar because we didn't have any fucking boundaries to say no, no, that's actually doesn't work for me.
I can't do that today, but we can talk about it for next week or we can actually I'll refer you to someone else. Cause that's not something that I do. You got it. Okay. Word done. Confirmed.
