I'm proud of you for showing upagain and I'm proud of myself
for showing up again.
Okay, so on today's playlist, weare chatting about one way that
you can stand more firm so thevoices and opinions of others
(00:43):
are less likely to break you,shrink you or push you over.
Does that feel good?
So quick volume boost before weget into the nitty gritty of
the episode today, which I'llkeep short, sweet and to the
point.
Volume boost of the day.
Listen, the girls in your lifewill not remember the number on
your scale or the size of yourjeans, but here's what they will
remember.
They will remember how youshowed up for them.
They will remember how muchenergy you came with, how much
(01:05):
joy you had, how much vibrancythat you had in your life.
They'll remember the momentswith you.
They will not care about howyou look, what size your clothes
are, how much weight you'velost, they do not care.
So I'm asking you today turn upthe volume on this one, that
you stay focused on what'sactually important in life.
(01:26):
We only got one.
Stay focused.
All right, let's jump in the oneactivity that I'm obsessed with
right now, that I share when Igo speak to young girls, or I
speak to adults, anywhere I goand speak, I share this activity
with them because it's sopowerful and I think I know that
it would be powerful for you toutilize in your life.
(01:47):
And if you are coming to theSelf Love Soiree that myself and
my co-founder of the PrettyPowerful Girl program put on
together.
Every single February we do aSelf Love Soiree where it's moms
and girls come and we doactivities, we have presenters,
we do so many fun things,there's tears, happy tears and
(02:09):
just so much goodness to buildthat connection with moms and
girls.
It's just absolutely powerful.
So if you'd love to be involvedin that or you're interested,
like hit me up.
Anyways, that wasn't the pointof this.
The point what I was sharingwith you is that we're gonna be
doing this sort of activity withthem, and so I'd love to have
you there, but I'll give you alittle snippet that you can
(02:29):
practice and do at home.
That could help you, especiallywhen your daughter if you're,
if you have a daughter if shecomes home and is feeling in a
funk someone said something toher, uh, or really just
preparing her, and same foradults.
I love when people ask me whatage range certain, like when I
speak, like what the age rangeis, or when we have events, what
(02:49):
the age range is, and I'm likelisten, homegirl, the girl that
is seven years old who isstruggling with her confidence
is the same as the 77 year oldwho is struggling with her
confidence.
There is literally nodifference.
Like there might be a littledifference because 77 year old
has experienced a little bitmore of life, but when I've
worked with women acrossdifferent age range, age ranges
(03:12):
and girls across different ageranges, they say the same things
, they feel the same things,they have similar experiences
and so this is true.
So that's why I always say,like, do this for yourself and
or with your girl, because weall need the same thing.
I do this for myself.
This is how I stand in my power, and I am not a 10-year-old
girl.
So, okay, listen, here's thething.
(03:36):
There's a psychologist named AmyCuddy Dr Amy Cuddy who coined
the phrase power pose, and youmight have seen it or
experienced it or heard peopletalk about it.
It's literally just standingwith your hands on your hips
right and just standing.
Very, you know, you have goodposture, you're standing very
tall, very firm, and this isyour power pose because, as a
(03:58):
psychologist, she shares how ourposture, our presentation, how
we right, like how we are in ourbodies, changes everything for
us.
It has such a big impact on howwe view ourselves and how we
feel about ourselves, and alsohow other people view us and
feel about us as well.
So if we want more confidence,we have to check our body
(04:19):
language right, and so I talk alot about power in your power.
What does that mean?
I hear people okay, listen, I'mjust gonna go off the side I
hear that people say that allthe time, stand in your power,
stand in your power, yourpersonal power, stand in your
power.
Like, what do you mean?
What does that mean?
(04:39):
I get.
So I do not appreciate it whenpeople tell you things like that
and then they don't give you asolution Like, well, how do you
do that?
Because it sounds cute, itsounds fun, but how?
So?
As I was thinking about this,because I've also been guilty of
telling people this, liketelling girls and telling women,
(04:59):
like, stand in your power, bemore powerful, be more confident
right, and I do give tips andstrategies for being more
confident and feeling morepowerful.
But when I said stand in yourpower, I kept thinking I don't
even what does that mean.
And then it hit me.
It hit me like a ton of bricksand I was like this is it?
(05:21):
This is what it means to standin your power.
And so I share this with againanytime I speak to any group,
and so here's what it is right,I always share.
I have a power method.
I'm not going to go into all ofthat, but I want you to think
about your values right.
Think about your values right.
(05:44):
What is important to you?
I want you to think about yourstrengths, right.
Are you really great at readingor writing?
Are you really great at being afriend?
Are you really a really greatlistener?
Are you really great at givingadvice.
Are you really like?
What are you really really goodat?
And what are your passions?
What do you love doing?
(06:05):
Is it traveling?
Is it watching sports?
Is it hanging out withgirlfriends?
Is it being creative?
Is it crafting?
What is it that you are sopassionate about?
Right, I want you to thinkabout the things that make you
unique.
What are the things about youthat are just different from
(06:26):
most people?
Sometimes, maybe even growingup, you were like oh my gosh,
everybody makes fun of me forthis, or I don't want anyone to
find out about this because theymight make fun of me or they
might think I'm weird, whatever,right.
What are those things?
You know, I remember I wouldhide my flute.
So I played the flute fromsixth grade all through high
(06:48):
school and I'm still mad atmyself for stopping.
I do still randomly play now,but I would take my flute and I
would hide it in my book bagBecause it was nerdy to be in
the band.
But I was in band because I wasreally good and really liked it
and it was a lot of fun.
But I hid that part of mebecause, again, teenagers can be
(07:09):
mean and so I didn't wanna getmade fun of all the time, so I
hid my flute when I would go toschool.
So what are the things, though,that make you unique, that make
you you?
Well, what are your?
What are the like?
Just everything about you,essentially, is what I'm getting
at the unique qualities, thesimple things about you that
(07:30):
make you you.
Your heart, your passions, yoursmile, your quirky habits, the
things you love to do all ofthose things right, all of those
things make you you.
So, if we're going to stand inour power, we have to take those
(07:56):
things, so I'd encourage you towrite them down, and,
especially if you're sharingthis with another person,
especially a young kid, writethem down, have two of them, two
pieces of paper, and put themon the ground, and then firmly
step one foot after the other ontop of them.
(08:29):
Hit your power, pose hands onhip, chest up, proud, and you
are literally standing in yourpower, because your power comes
from who you are, and so all ofyour values, all of your
strengths, all of your beliefs,your unique qualities, the
things that make you you areliterally underneath your feet
and you are standing in them,standing in your power.
And what happens when you're inyour power?
You're standing strong whensomeone comes by and says
(08:51):
something mean, when someonetries to push you a little bit
further, and you're like, if youtry one more time, right, when
those things start to happen,the world changes.
Life happens.
Life is always going to happen,it's always going to happen.
But we are planted firmly inthe things that are important to
us, without the outside wordsfrom other humans and beliefs
(09:15):
and values and their stuff.
That's theirs, not mine.
I stand in my power, I'mliterally standing in my power.
And when that is, and when thatsomeone comes over here and says
, oh, you should really lookthis way, oh, you should really
get married sooner, oh, youshould really have a kid sooner,
you should really do this, andyou should do that, and blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then it starts again, thatplaylist.
(09:36):
It goes around and around inour head and we're like, oh my
gosh, why can I not love myself?
Why can I not, you know, make,why can I not make choices that
are right for me and ignoreeverybody else?
It's because we're not standingin our power.
So when you have those wordsliterally underneath your feet,
you are standing firmly in yourpower.
It's harder to knock you down,it's harder to make you crumble.
(09:57):
And then what happens?
When you start to see someoneelse?
Little Susie Q over there onInstagram has a prettier, bigger
, more beautiful house than youhave.
That person, who started thebusiness at the same time as you
, is now making a milliondollars and you're still
struggling to make six figures.
(10:17):
The person right like all ofthe things, where we look at
people and we're like, oh mygosh, how does she look that way
?
Or how is she achieving thatthing, or how is she doing that?
I wish I could be more like her.
And we get those thoughts.
What do we do?
We pick up one foot, we pick upour foot off of the things that
are making us powerful and wetry to tap into Suzy Q's little
(10:38):
list over there.
What am I going to do?
If I lift up my foot and Ireach my leg as far as I can to
get over to Susie Q's stuff?
I'm going to wobble, I mighteven fall, I might shake, and
then all those values andbeliefs and everything that made
me me, that are important to me, start to slide away.
(11:01):
As I'm trying to be more andstand in the power of someone
else, I lose who I am.
I'm losing my power, literally.
So I bring my foot back and nowI'm back to standing in my
power.
Now, imagine if all of us, aswomen and girls, we linked arms
and we all are standing rightthere in our power.
All of the words are underneathall of our feet.
(11:22):
There's, let's say there's athousand people here in this
room right now.
Imagine it You're standing inthe in oh my gosh, like you're
just standing in a room full ofa thousand women who are
committed to standing in theirpower, and we're all literally
standing on these words thatmake us uniquely us, and we're
standing in our power.
How beautiful is that.
(11:44):
Now, what happens?
When I lift up my foot, I startgetting a little wobbly right.
I might start to fall.
Now I push over.
Susie Q now is standing.
I don't know if you're Susie Q.
I think you're wonderful.
I don't know why I keep usingSusie Q, but if you're, susie Q
is on my side now and we'relinking arms because we've
committed that we are going toall stand in our power, and now
(12:07):
I'm leaning into her.
What am I going to do?
It's going to be a dominoeffect and we're all going to
start falling and falling andfalling, because when we don't
stand in our own power and we'retrying to reach someone else's
power, or we start doubtingourselves in this room full of a
thousand incredible humans, westart leaning and we start
falling, and then we make it's aripple effect of everyone else
starts to get a little bit moreuncomfortable, because when we
(12:28):
lose our confidence, when welose our sense of self, when we
lose our power, we are no longerencouraging and are a great
example of how to stand in yourpower.
So then the people around usthen start to struggle as well.
So how can we all be betterhumans?
How can we all support andencourage one another?
(12:48):
How can we create a morepowerful sisterhood with girls
and women?
Is that we all encourage eachother?
Hey, you stay in your power.
Don't try to be like me.
I won't try to be like you,because I know that the only way
that I can stay firm and I canstay on my feet and not fall
over and not break and not bend,is if I stand in what makes me
(13:10):
me and you stand in what makesyou you.
So I'm going to do a quicktempo check here.
Have you ever experienced notfeeling completely in your power
.
Have you ever had that momentwhere you literally are?
(13:35):
Maybe you are surrounded bylots of incredible humans and
you're like I don't belong here,I'm not good enough for this,
I'm not smart enough, prettyenough, bold enough, brave
enough for this.
Or maybe you do see Suzy Q onInstagram and you're like wow,
she's really good at makingthose videos.
Why do I even try?
(13:57):
I look like a hot mess overhere.
I should just give up.
Have you ever experienced notfeeling in your power?
And if you have, I want to askyou how does this new strategy,
how does this new activity ofvisualizing the things that make
you you and are important toyou underneath your feet and
you're standing firmly in them.
(14:18):
How does that make you feel?
Does it make you stand up alittle taller?
Does it make you feel a littlebit more confident?
Does it just serve as a greatreminder that you just need to
be you?
And do you think that this typeof message and activity could
really support the girls in yourlife to remember to stand in
(14:40):
their power and let other girlsstand in their power?
So I want to end with this.
I want to give you a quickpower-up tip.
When you're looking at yourselfin the mirror, okay, I want you
to look in your eyes and seewho you are.
(15:00):
What I talked about today wasnothing about how you looked,
even if you said, sure, I lovemy smile, sure, write that down,
cool, whatever.
But it wasn't about how youlooked.
It was everything that made youyou Everything that was unique
and special about you, youEverything that was unique and
special about you.
But so much of our time and ourenergy is spent on looking at
(15:21):
how we appear to ourselves andto others.
So I want you, next time you goup to a mirror, you're brushing
your teeth tonight or you'repicking out your outfit to go
out to dinner, when you look atyourself in the mirror, I want
you to get close and look intoyour eyes and I want you to see
who you are, not what you looklike.
(15:47):
And again, if you're a momlistening to this and you have
daughters at home, teach themthis power method, please.
All right, quick playlist picksbefore I jump off of here and we
wrap this up 75 Day Healthy.
I'm biased because I wrote it,but if you, it is a program that
I'm doing right now for myselfand with a few women in my life
(16:12):
and we're doing the 75 DayHealthy Challenge, and so this
is one of my favorite playlists,because every day is a
motivational message.
It's about creating health inour lives.
It's about making itsustainable for the long term
and not a quick fix.
It's about moving our bodiesand taking care of our bodies
and focusing on health, notweight loss, and so that's one
(16:32):
of my favorite picks right now.
If you're interested, I'll dropthat in the show notes.
One of the lyrics that I keeprepeating my head over and over
and over again and oh my gosh,before I should have come on, I
should have checked.
I'll put it in the show notesthe person who sings the song,
but the lyric is you arebeautiful, why you tripping girl
?
And so she repeats that overand over again, and I just love
(16:56):
it so much.
It's in my brain over and overagain, so I just love it so much
.
And another book just to throwout, another one that's not
written by me, is RadicalConfidence by Lisa Bilyeu.
I just read that a couplemonths ago.
Really enjoyed that.
It's a fun read.
So if you're looking foranother book about confidence,
that would be it.
And so, sister, with that, weare wrapping it up.
I will.
(17:16):
I can't wait to share the nextplaylist with you on the next
episode.
So keep turning it up, keepstepping and standing in to your
power.
Now go, turn it up, let's go.
Turn up squad.
What's up, let's go.
I have another playlist for youtoday, coming in hot with an
activity that you can do to helpyou and the girls in your life

(00:21):

Like, let's have a little danceparty, like snaps for each

I'm proud of you for showing upagain and I'm proud of myself
for showing up again.
Okay, so on today's playlist, weare chatting about one way that
you can stand more firm so thevoices and opinions of others
(00:43):
are less likely to break you,shrink you or push you over.
Does that feel good?
So quick volume boost before weget into the nitty gritty of
the episode today, which I'llkeep short, sweet and to the
point.
Volume boost of the day.
Listen, the girls in your lifewill not remember the number on
your scale or the size of yourjeans, but here's what they will
remember.
They will remember how youshowed up for them.
They will remember how muchenergy you came with, how much
(01:05):
joy you had, how much vibrancythat you had in your life.
They'll remember the momentswith you.
They will not care about howyou look, what size your clothes

So I'm asking you today turn upthe volume on this one, that
you stay focused on what'sactually important in life.
(01:26):
We only got one.
Stay focused.
All right, let's jump in the oneactivity that I'm obsessed with
right now, that I share when Igo speak to young girls, or I
speak to adults, anywhere I goand speak, I share this activity
with them because it's sopowerful and I think I know that
it would be powerful for you toutilize in your life.
(01:47):
And if you are coming to theSelf Love Soiree that myself and
my co-founder of the PrettyPowerful Girl program put on
together.
Every single February we do aSelf Love Soiree where it's moms
and girls come and we doactivities, we have presenters,
we do so many fun things,there's tears, happy tears and
(02:09):
just so much goodness to buildthat connection with moms and
girls.
It's just absolutely powerful.
So if you'd love to be involvedin that or you're interested,
like hit me up.
Anyways, that wasn't the pointof this.
The point what I was sharingwith you is that we're gonna be
doing this sort of activity withthem, and so I'd love to have
you there, but I'll give you alittle snippet that you can
(02:29):
practice and do at home.
That could help you, especiallywhen your daughter if you're,
if you have a daughter if shecomes home and is feeling in a
funk someone said something toher, uh, or really just
preparing her, and same foradults.
I love when people ask me whatage range certain, like when I
speak, like what the age rangeis, or when we have events, what
(02:49):
the age range is, and I'm likelisten, homegirl, the girl that
is seven years old who isstruggling with her confidence
is the same as the 77 year oldwho is struggling with her
confidence.
There is literally nodifference.
Like there might be a littledifference because 77 year old
has experienced a little bitmore of life, but when I've
worked with women acrossdifferent age range, age ranges
(03:12):
and girls across different ageranges, they say the same things
, they feel the same things,they have similar experiences
and so this is true.
So that's why I always say,like, do this for yourself and
or with your girl, because weall need the same thing.
I do this for myself.
This is how I stand in my power, and I am not a 10-year-old
girl.
So, okay, listen, here's thething.
(03:36):
There's a psychologist named AmyCuddy Dr Amy Cuddy who coined
the phrase power pose, and youmight have seen it or
experienced it or heard peopletalk about it.
It's literally just standingwith your hands on your hips
right and just standing.
Very, you know, you have goodposture, you're standing very
tall, very firm, and this isyour power pose because, as a
(03:58):
psychologist, she shares how ourposture, our presentation, how
we right, like how we are in ourbodies, changes everything for
us.
It has such a big impact on howwe view ourselves and how we
feel about ourselves, and alsohow other people view us and
feel about us as well.
So if we want more confidence,we have to check our body
(04:19):
language right, and so I talk alot about power in your power.
What does that mean?
I hear people okay, listen, I'mjust gonna go off the side I
hear that people say that allthe time, stand in your power,
stand in your power, yourpersonal power, stand in your
power.
Like, what do you mean?
What does that mean?
(04:39):
I get.
So I do not appreciate it whenpeople tell you things like that
and then they don't give you asolution Like, well, how do you
do that?
Because it sounds cute, itsounds fun, but how?
So?
As I was thinking about this,because I've also been guilty of
telling people this, liketelling girls and telling women,
(04:59):
like, stand in your power, bemore powerful, be more confident
right, and I do give tips andstrategies for being more
confident and feeling morepowerful.
But when I said stand in yourpower, I kept thinking I don't
even what does that mean.
And then it hit me.
It hit me like a ton of bricksand I was like this is it?
(05:21):
This is what it means to standin your power.
And so I share this with againanytime I speak to any group,
and so here's what it is right,I always share.
I have a power method.
I'm not going to go into all ofthat, but I want you to think
about your values right.
Think about your values right.
(05:44):
What is important to you?
I want you to think about yourstrengths, right.
Are you really great at readingor writing?
Are you really great at being afriend?
Are you really a really greatlistener?
Are you really great at givingadvice.
Are you really like?
What are you really really goodat?
And what are your passions?
What do you love doing?
(06:05):
Is it traveling?
Is it watching sports?
Is it hanging out withgirlfriends?
Is it being creative?
Is it crafting?
What is it that you are sopassionate about?
Right, I want you to thinkabout the things that make you
unique.
What are the things about youthat are just different from
(06:26):
most people?
Sometimes, maybe even growingup, you were like oh my gosh,
everybody makes fun of me forthis, or I don't want anyone to
find out about this because theymight make fun of me or they
might think I'm weird, whatever,right.
What are those things?
You know, I remember I wouldhide my flute.
So I played the flute fromsixth grade all through high
(06:48):
school and I'm still mad atmyself for stopping.
I do still randomly play now,but I would take my flute and I
would hide it in my book bagBecause it was nerdy to be in
the band.
But I was in band because I wasreally good and really liked it
and it was a lot of fun.
But I hid that part of mebecause, again, teenagers can be
(07:09):
mean and so I didn't wanna getmade fun of all the time, so I
hid my flute when I would go toschool.
So what are the things, though,that make you unique, that make
you you?
Well, what are your?
What are the like?
Just everything about you,essentially, is what I'm getting
at the unique qualities, thesimple things about you that
(07:30):
make you you.
Your heart, your passions, yoursmile, your quirky habits, the
things you love to do all ofthose things right, all of those
things make you you.
So, if we're going to stand inour power, we have to take those
(07:56):
things, so I'd encourage you towrite them down, and,
especially if you're sharingthis with another person,
especially a young kid, writethem down, have two of them, two
pieces of paper, and put themon the ground, and then firmly
step one foot after the other ontop of them.
(08:29):
Hit your power, pose hands onhip, chest up, proud, and you
are literally standing in yourpower, because your power comes
from who you are, and so all ofyour values, all of your
strengths, all of your beliefs,your unique qualities, the
things that make you you areliterally underneath your feet
and you are standing in them,standing in your power.
And what happens when you're inyour power?
You're standing strong whensomeone comes by and says
(08:51):
something mean, when someonetries to push you a little bit
further, and you're like, if youtry one more time, right, when
those things start to happen,the world changes.
Life happens.
Life is always going to happen,it's always going to happen.
But we are planted firmly inthe things that are important to
us, without the outside wordsfrom other humans and beliefs
(09:15):
and values and their stuff.
That's theirs, not mine.
I stand in my power, I'mliterally standing in my power.
And when that is, and when thatsomeone comes over here and says
, oh, you should really lookthis way, oh, you should really
get married sooner, oh, youshould really have a kid sooner,
you should really do this, andyou should do that, and blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then it starts again, thatplaylist.
(09:36):
It goes around and around inour head and we're like, oh my
gosh, why can I not love myself?
Why can I not, you know, make,why can I not make choices that
are right for me and ignoreeverybody else?
It's because we're not standingin our power.
So when you have those wordsliterally underneath your feet,
you are standing firmly in yourpower.
It's harder to knock you down,it's harder to make you crumble.
(09:57):
And then what happens?
When you start to see someoneelse?
Little Susie Q over there onInstagram has a prettier, bigger
, more beautiful house than youhave.
That person, who started thebusiness at the same time as you
, is now making a milliondollars and you're still
struggling to make six figures.
(10:17):
The person right like all ofthe things, where we look at
people and we're like, oh mygosh, how does she look that way
?
Or how is she achieving thatthing, or how is she doing that?
I wish I could be more like her.
And we get those thoughts.
What do we do?
We pick up one foot, we pick upour foot off of the things that
are making us powerful and wetry to tap into Suzy Q's little
(10:38):
list over there.
What am I going to do?
If I lift up my foot and Ireach my leg as far as I can to
get over to Susie Q's stuff?
I'm going to wobble, I mighteven fall, I might shake, and
then all those values andbeliefs and everything that made
me me, that are important to me, start to slide away.
(11:01):
As I'm trying to be more andstand in the power of someone
else, I lose who I am.
I'm losing my power, literally.
So I bring my foot back and nowI'm back to standing in my
power.
Now, imagine if all of us, aswomen and girls, we linked arms
and we all are standing rightthere in our power.
All of the words are underneathall of our feet.
(11:22):
There's, let's say there's athousand people here in this
room right now.
Imagine it You're standing inthe in oh my gosh, like you're
just standing in a room full ofa thousand women who are
committed to standing in theirpower, and we're all literally
standing on these words thatmake us uniquely us, and we're
standing in our power.
How beautiful is that.
(11:44):
Now, what happens?
When I lift up my foot, I startgetting a little wobbly right.
I might start to fall.
Now I push over.
Susie Q now is standing.
I don't know if you're Susie Q.
I think you're wonderful.
I don't know why I keep usingSusie Q, but if you're, susie Q
is on my side now and we'relinking arms because we've
committed that we are going toall stand in our power, and now
(12:07):
I'm leaning into her.
What am I going to do?
It's going to be a dominoeffect and we're all going to
start falling and falling andfalling, because when we don't
stand in our own power and we'retrying to reach someone else's
power, or we start doubtingourselves in this room full of a
thousand incredible humans, westart leaning and we start
falling, and then we make it's aripple effect of everyone else
starts to get a little bit moreuncomfortable, because when we
(12:28):
lose our confidence, when welose our sense of self, when we
lose our power, we are no longerencouraging and are a great
example of how to stand in yourpower.
So then the people around usthen start to struggle as well.
So how can we all be betterhumans?
How can we all support andencourage one another?
(12:48):
How can we create a morepowerful sisterhood with girls
and women?
Is that we all encourage eachother?
Hey, you stay in your power.
Don't try to be like me.
I won't try to be like you,because I know that the only way
that I can stay firm and I canstay on my feet and not fall
over and not break and not bend,is if I stand in what makes me
(13:10):
me and you stand in what makesyou you.
So I'm going to do a quicktempo check here.
Have you ever experienced notfeeling completely in your power
.
Have you ever had that momentwhere you literally are?
(13:35):
Maybe you are surrounded bylots of incredible humans and
you're like I don't belong here,I'm not good enough for this,
I'm not smart enough, prettyenough, bold enough, brave
enough for this.
Or maybe you do see Suzy Q onInstagram and you're like wow,
she's really good at makingthose videos.
Why do I even try?
(13:57):
I look like a hot mess overhere.
I should just give up.
Have you ever experienced notfeeling in your power?
And if you have, I want to askyou how does this new strategy,
how does this new activity ofvisualizing the things that make
you you and are important toyou underneath your feet and
you're standing firmly in them.
(14:18):
How does that make you feel?
Does it make you stand up alittle taller?
Does it make you feel a littlebit more confident?
Does it just serve as a greatreminder that you just need to
be you?
And do you think that this typeof message and activity could
really support the girls in yourlife to remember to stand in
(14:40):
their power and let other girlsstand in their power?
So I want to end with this.
I want to give you a quickpower-up tip.
When you're looking at yourselfin the mirror, okay, I want you
to look in your eyes and seewho you are.
(15:00):
What I talked about today wasnothing about how you looked,
even if you said, sure, I lovemy smile, sure, write that down,
cool, whatever.
But it wasn't about how youlooked.
It was everything that made youyou Everything that was unique
and special about you, youEverything that was unique and
special about you.
But so much of our time and ourenergy is spent on looking at
(15:21):
how we appear to ourselves andto others.
So I want you, next time you goup to a mirror, you're brushing
your teeth tonight or you'repicking out your outfit to go
out to dinner, when you look atyourself in the mirror, I want
you to get close and look intoyour eyes and I want you to see
who you are, not what you looklike.
(15:47):
And again, if you're a momlistening to this and you have
daughters at home, teach themthis power method, please.
All right, quick playlist picksbefore I jump off of here and we
wrap this up 75 Day Healthy.
I'm biased because I wrote it,but if you, it is a program that
I'm doing right now for myselfand with a few women in my life
(16:12):
and we're doing the 75 DayHealthy Challenge, and so this
is one of my favorite playlists,because every day is a
motivational message.
It's about creating health inour lives.
It's about making itsustainable for the long term
and not a quick fix.
It's about moving our bodiesand taking care of our bodies
and focusing on health, notweight loss, and so that's one
(16:32):
of my favorite picks right now.
If you're interested, I'll dropthat in the show notes.
One of the lyrics that I keeprepeating my head over and over
and over again and oh my gosh,before I should have come on, I
should have checked.
I'll put it in the show notesthe person who sings the song,
but the lyric is you arebeautiful, why you tripping girl
?
And so she repeats that overand over again, and I just love
(16:56):
it so much.
It's in my brain over and overagain, so I just love it so much
.
And another book just to throwout, another one that's not
written by me, is RadicalConfidence by Lisa Bilyeu.
I just read that a couplemonths ago.
Really enjoyed that.
It's a fun read.
So if you're looking foranother book about confidence,
that would be it.
And so, sister, with that, weare wrapping it up.
I will.
(17:16):
I can't wait to share the nextplaylist with you on the next
episode.
So keep turning it up, keepstepping and standing in to your
power.
Now go, turn it up, let's go.
