Episode 97 - Faking It

This week’s episode is Part 2 of a 2-part series on Ignoring Bad Advice.

 I didn’t know when I recorded episode 96 that I’d get another example of “bad advice” the very next day on a coaching call —

 but I did — and I wanted you all to have the same info that I gave my client.

The same way “feel the fear and do it anyway” is terrible advice because asks that you ignore your instincts and intuitions —

“fake it ’till you make it” is equally (if not more so!) bad advice because you may put others (inadvertently, perhaps) at risk.

What do I mean? Okay — so, if you are new at a job — you are new. You are not experienced yet, nor are you an expert.

And that is alright! But don’t pretend to be something you’re not —

that will always backfire because your brain and body aren’t connected and you will know that you are lying.

and lying feels bad.

Overview

I love helping listeners embark upon their own journey to Slow Down, and live the life they’ve always dreamt about: one filled with peace, purpose, and abundance.

I understand how you’re feeling when you are rushing around trying to do “all the things,” always playing catch up and finding time to get things done.

I know because I’m a mom too.

It’s okay to stop and breathe. My philosophy isn’t about cramming more and more into an already over-packed schedule, instead I offer realistic tips and plans to get things done quickly and efficiently so you can do things you want to do.
