Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Alright, my comeback Queens.

(00:01):
If last week's episode on Stepping IntoYour Power Hit Home for You, this one
is coined a light of fire under yourass because today we are taking it one
step further and so I highly recommendif you haven't listened to the episode
about stepping into your power, thatis a really informative place to start.
So highly recommend you go backand watch that after you're

(00:23):
done listening to this episode.
So stepping into your power is one thing,but actually leading your life, like
the CEO of your life, of the, of yourcomeback, that's where everything changes.
So let me ask you this.
If your life was a business, would yousay that you're running it like a boss,

(00:45):
or are you just surviving, keepingthe lights on, waiting for things
to magically fall into place today?
We're talking about what it actuallymeans to run your life, like a CEO, how
to stop making decisions from fear, andwhy this shift is the difference between
another year of waiting and actuallycreating the life that you want right now.

(01:08):
If you're tired of just getting byand you're ready to lead, let's go.
You're listening to HerHeart Heals Divorce Radio.
Hi, I'm Christina Cuevas.
Seven years ago, I went througha divorce and it completely
turned my world upside down.
And I'm so glad it did.

(01:28):
I documented my healing to shareinformation with other women going
through their own divorce journey.
And now, With thousands of downloadsaround the world from divorced women
just like you, I'm here to show youhow to ditch the shame around divorce
and finally heal so that you canregain the confidence to create your
most abundant and joyful future.

(01:50):
I'm so glad you're here.
This is Her Heart Heals Divorce Radio.
Was just talking to a client the other dayand she had this realization that she's
been making every decision from a place ofplaying it safe, literally from when she
decided that she wanted to get married.
Actually even before that, we starteduncovering all of these different

(02:10):
ways of how she started to kind ofplay by the rules and play it safe.
It's not because she isn't capable, butbecause the thought of actually calling
the shots in her own life was terrifying.
She's not alone.
I see this all the time.
Women get divorced and instead ofusing this as a clean slate, as a
launchpad, they go into survival mode.

(02:33):
They take the safe job, theystay in the same routine.
They keep their world smallbecause it feels manageable.
And look, I get it.
Divorce shakes up everything.
You already went through majoruncertainty and now that things
feel stable, well shit, why wouldyou risk shaking it up again?

(02:53):
Here's why.
It's because safe is keeping youstuck, and I want you to hear this.
Most people don't failbecause they go too big.
They fail because they stay small.
They stay where it'sfamiliar, even when they know.
That it's not what they want.

(03:14):
Well, I'm gonna make itsuper simple for you.
That stops today if you want it to.
In business, there's a difference betweenan entry level employee and a CEO.
An employee waits to be told what todo, and a CEO creates the vision and
executes the same, applies to your life.
Are you waiting for a sign?

(03:35):
Are you waiting for someone to give youpermission or are you ready to step into
your CEO energy and make this happen?
Make it actually happen?
Take charge.
And this is where it gets really deep,because I need you to understand that
you were never meant to play small.
I saw this TikTok the other daythat absolutely blew my mind,

(03:59):
and it was breaking down theHebrew meaning of the word.
Woman it's Genesis chapter two,verse 18, when God says that he
created women as a helper for man.
Now, for years that word has been watereddown almost like it means that women

(04:20):
are just assistants like a sidekick,someone who plays this supporting role.
And this is whereeverything changed for me.
Here's the kicker.
The actual Hebrew phase that's used isEZ Oro, and it does not mean assistant.
In fact, the same word ezr is used 21times in the Old Testament, and almost

(04:47):
every time it's describing God himself.
Not as an assistant, butas a rescuer, a warrior, a
protector, a source of strength.
Think about that.
The same word used for God when he showsup in power to help his people is the
same word used to describe a woman.

(05:11):
So let me be clear.
You were never meant to play small.
You were never meant to wait inthe background, and you sure as
hell were never meant to play.
Second, you were literally designed totake action to be a force of nature.

(05:31):
So if you've been sitting aroundwaiting for permission, here it is.
And if you've been doubting whether you'requalified to lead your own life, this
is your confirmation that you alreadyare inside your greatest comeback.
We actually go even deeper ofwhat this looks like in real life.
I have a module that's actually abonus for this course called the High

(05:55):
Value Woman Code, I break down my exactprotocol for rewiring the way that you
see yourself, so you're not just awareof your power, but you start owning it.
You start learning how to use your energyin every single decision that you make.
So if you're in your greatestcomeback, you are going to get
that bonus process step by step.
If you've been stuck, it's notbecause you don't know what to do,

(06:18):
it's because you've been conditionedto doubt your own authority, to wait
for clarity, to wait for someoneelse to tell you that it's okay.
Let me do this for you.
Let me lead.
Let me tell you this.
No one is coming to run your life for you.
You are the one you've been waiting for.

(06:40):
So I wanna give you a little bit of achallenge here, and it's really to pick
one decision that you've been avoiding.
Is it looking for your own place?
Is it making a bold move in your career?
Is it opening up an investment account?
Is it launching that thing thatyou've been dreaming about?

(07:04):
Make the decision this week, not whenit's perfect, not when it feels right.
Make a decision to move forward.
Do it now.
Tell yourself I'm making the decision,and take one small step and look.
I know making these kinds of shiftsalone can feel so overwhelming.

(07:26):
We go into analysis paralysis,we go into overthinking.
That's why I built your greatestcomeback so that you don't
have to figure this out alone.
This isn't just about healing,it's about stepping into your
power as a high value woman.
And actually creating the life that yousay that you want and that you know deep
down inside that you are capable of it.

(07:47):
Because let's be honest, if youare dreaming it, it's possible.
It's already possible.
And if that's where you're at,then you already know it's time
to move Doors to your greatestcomeback are opening soon and.
If you've been waitingfor a sign, this is it.
If you're ready to stop hesitatingto finally lead your life like a
CEO, DM me on Instagram, the wordCEO, and I'll send you a little

(08:10):
something to get started today.
If this resonated, don't just sit on it.
DM me, CEO, and let's get you moving.
No more waiting.
No more second guessing.
It's time to take the lead.
Okay.
I hope that this episode was helpful.
It was a little spicy.
My episodes have been alittle bit spicy these days.
I'm not gonna lie.

(08:31):
They got a little bite to 'em,but nonetheless, we are in
March and we are making moves.
We are no longer in thiswaiting pause phase.
You know, we've done the work.
I see you, you have been out theregiving it your all trying new things.
It's time to actually take the actionand I promise you'll be rewarded for it.

(08:57):
Okay?
I love you.
I'll talk to you on the next one.
Bye.
