Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today's episode of Big Goal Energy is about something that
a lot of ambitious women wrestle with, but we don't
always name it. What happens when the life, or the
business or the success that we've built is good. It's good,
it's good, but deep down you know it's actually not great.
I want to talk today about the moment when holding
(00:24):
on to what's working, what's safe, what's familiar, actually becomes
the very thing that is blocking you from the bigger
vision that is trying to come through to you. Over
the last month, I have completely rewritten my vision for
my business, and I'm going to be honest. It shook me.
(00:44):
I did not have on my twenty twenty five Bingo
card reevaluate your entire business was not in the plans.
But I realized that the version of success that I'd
been hold onto and trying so hard over years to
(01:05):
build was actually keeping me small. It was keeping me
in the realm of like what's good enough? When I know,
deep down in my heart and my soul, I'm here
for greatness, y'all. I was born is a quintuple Taurus,
like I'm not here to fuck around. I am here
for greatness, and the only way for me to get
(01:29):
there was for me to be willing to let go
of the good. Today's episode is all about the courage
it takes to release what you've outgrown, even if it's working,
even if it's stable, and even if other people don't understand.
Because the life, the business, the career, the success that
(01:50):
you really truly deeply crave and desire cannot live in
the same space as what you're afraid to let go of.
If you had been feeling in any way the nudge,
the whisper, the inkling that it's time to expand, if
you've been quietly dreaming about something but you have duck
(02:14):
yourself into holding on to what's good enough, this one's
for you, my friend. Let's jump right in.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
You were never meant for a small life.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You have bold ideas, audacious dreams, and visions that keep
you up at night. But the truth is big goals
don't come with step by step instruction, and success doesn't
come from doing more.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It comes from becoming more.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Welcome to Big Goal Energy a podcast for high achieving
women who are done shrinking, striving, and second guessing and
are ready to defy reality in pursuit of the life
they actually want. I'm your hostess, free sealy, goal architect,
subconscious strategist, and your permission slip to want what you want.
(02:57):
Join me as we go beyond the service level six
to explore the mindset, identity, and inner work required to

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Biggest, most Delulu goals to life.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
This is your space to be seen, to be expanded,
and to remember that you are not alone on this journey.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Let's get into it.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Oh goodness, today's episode is going to be a juicy one.
I have a feeling that some of y'all listening are
going to feel a little called out. I have a
feeling that some of y'all listening are gonna get a
little uncomfortable. I have a feeling that some of y'all
listening may unsubscribe from Big Goal Energy after this. And
you know what, I'm gonna be here when you come
(03:36):
back if that's the case for you, because what I'm
about to say is about to ruffle some goddamn feathers.
And while I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable, I'm
also not sorry because my job on this planet is
not to pander to you, pretending like you're here for
(03:58):
any less than your biggest That's not my role in
this world. If you want someone to tell you, oh,
you're good enough, stay where you are, that's not me.
I'll never be that person for you, which I think
is a great thing. I promise. I am never going
to enable you to compromise on your dreams and goals.
I will never be that person to anyone ever. There's
(04:19):
a lot of people that don't like that. And that's
what I came here for again, Quintuble Taurus, I came
here to break shit, including what you think is good
enough for you. Several years ago, a friend came to
me and he was in a not great relationship. Seemingly
from everything that was happening, it was good. It was
a good relationship. They cared about each other, had great
(04:42):
adventures together, they had similar visions, their families got along.
Like from the outside, it was a good relationship. And
then he would share some of the things that she
would say to him, and he would share some of
the ways that he felt in relationship with this person.
And I finally said to him, one you know, you're
gonna have to let go of this. You're either gonna
(05:05):
have to be okay with having a mediocre, borderline abusive,
at least verbally, relationship with someone, or you're gonna have
to let go of what you know even though it's
not bad bad, but also it's not great. Good to
me feels like this purgatory. It's not terrible. It's not
(05:26):
the fucking best thing you've ever experienced in your life.
Maybe I live too much in the extremes. I don't know.
That's a conversation for a different day. But I had
to say to him. I was like, you gotta get
rid of the devil you know. Is that going to
propel you into having to date? Yeah, yeah it is.
That's the devil you don't know. Does dating kind of suck? Yeah,
(05:47):
it kind of fucking does. Is it worth it when
you find the person that uplifts you and that empowers you,
and that you want to spend the rest of your
life with and that you actually want to build towards
amazing dreams and visions to get, Yeah, it's worth it.
The devil you don't know is worth it when it
takes into consideration that you are sacrificing your dreams, goals,
(06:10):
and visions right now for good. You're sacrificing the vision
of greatness that lives in your heart for something that
is mediocre at best. And I bring this up today
because if you've been listening to the episodes for the
last several weeks, you know that I have also been
on this journey. The episode from two weeks ago, I believe,
(06:32):
is the one where I talk about my entrepreneurial midlife
crisis and how my business has been good. It's been
good for ten years. It's been good. It hasn't been great.
There is so much more that I want from my business.
There's so much more that I want from my time
on this planet. I was just doing a reflection and
(06:54):
preparation for a retreat that I'm going on to Mount
Shasta in August, and the question was, what is your
greatest fear. My greatest fear in the entire world is
that I will die having not made the impact that
I'm here to make in the world. That's my greatest fear.
She listed some other fears, and I'm like, Oh, I'm
not scared of any of that shit. I'm not scared
(07:16):
of any of that. I'm not really scared of dying.
I'm not really scared of other people's opinions of me,
I'm really not scared of much. I am fucking terrified
of dying without creating the impact that I'm here to
create in the world. And that means that I, based
on where I've been and where I am right now,
(07:36):
have to have some kind to Jesus moments with myself
because I am not there. I am not impacting at
the level that I want to be impacting, And if
that's my greatest fear, then something fucking has to change.
For the last ten years, I've washed, rinst repeated my
business super easily without much change in my results. Again,
(08:00):
it's been good, but it does not even hold a
flame to the vision of greatness that I have within.
If you're listening to this and thinking I wish I
had more people in my life who just get it,
you're not alone.

here in Arkansas for two weeks. My trip is wrapping
(09:17):
up in a few days, and I've had to look
at and reflect on what does greatness look like to me?
What does greatness mean to me? And I said this
in the episode two weeks ago. If I were to
just copy paste the last ten years in the the
next ten years, would I be satisfied. No. And this
process now is requiring me to have to look at
(09:38):
what has to go and what has to stay. There
are things that have to go within me, how I
operate my identity, who I believe myself to be, how
I show up in the world, but also tangible things
within my business have to go. And then I get
to look at the blank slate in front of me
and say, what gets to go on this What things
(09:58):
are aligned with my greatness that I now get to
put on the canvas that I am painting that is
the masterpiece of my life and my business. One of
the things that I've never believed to be available to
me is this idea of having an exitable business. And
I was on a call with someone about a week ago,
(10:20):
and she works with people to build exitable businesses. Now,
as a solopreneur, your mind might be a little scrambled
right now. Mine was because I'm like, well, I am
my business, and my business is bri Sealy, my handles,
my website, my coaching, everything is bree Sealy. So that
(10:41):
option is not available to me. And then I started
getting curious and was like, but what if it was?
What if I could pour a few years of my
life into this thing and walk away with half a
million dollar pay check? What if I could do that?
What if I could build something that had so much
value in and of itself that I was not the
(11:04):
key ingredient to that. What does that journey look like?
And who do I need to be as the leader
of that journey for myself to get myself there? I
actually very quickly realized that not only am I building
one exitible business right now, actually building a second exitable
business right now as well. In the last seventy two hours,
(11:26):
my entire perspective on goodness and greatness has been completely upended.
What's interesting is, had I not given myself permission to
create this space in my life by leaving town for
three weeks and have twenty four hours worth of driving
under my belt in those three weeks, the spaciousness, the conversations,
(11:51):
the curiosity, the inquiry, the journaling, the meditation, I don't
know how quickly I would have gotten to this realization.
It blows my mind how goodness blinds us. Goodness basically
puts on blinders and prevents us from seeing anything else
(12:14):
but where we're currently at and what we're currently working towards.
When we take off those blinders, we don't have any limits.
If I can come to the realization in seventy two
hours that I actually have two exitable businesses on my hands,
and that that is aligned. I made a list this
morning of all the ways that this move in my
(12:35):
life is aligned with my vision of greatness, with my
core desired feelings, with my core values, with the life
that I'm building for myself but also with Jordan. I mean,
it is incredible, but I had to be okay with
releasing myself and freeing myself from, frankly, the jail that
(12:57):
I've put myself in over the last ten years in
order to be available for this clarity to come to me,
in order to be receptive of these next steps, this
vision that's available to me. As I said in the intro,
we cannot live in the same space as the thing
(13:19):
that we need to let go of now. For me, obviously,
that looked like literally physically leaving the space for a
few weeks. I don't believe you need to do that,
but you do have to start asking yourself, what would
it look like for me to let go of what
I've been holding on to, whether it's a relationship, a job,
parts of your business, health, What are the elements of
(13:42):
your life that are currently good that you've been holding
on too, And do you have the courage to say
that's actually not what I want. And in order for
me to get what I want or create what I want,
I have to have the courage to let that go.
There's a quote in Rocketman which is the Elton John
movie that says that in order to become the person
(14:03):
that you're meant to be, you have to kill the
person you've been. Obviously a very extreme example, but in
this instance, you kind of have to kill what's good
to bring to life or be open to having enough
space to receive what's great. I had to stop dating
guys that refused to make me a priority in order
(14:25):
to call in someone who from ten hours away put
more energy and effort into dating me for six weeks
before we even met in person. And now I'm married
to that man three and a half years later. You
are sacrificing the things that you so deeply desire because
(14:46):
you're comfortable with what you have. I told you, I
told you from the beginning. I told you. I told
you I was going to ruffle some feathers. I warned you,
I let you know. And this is coming from a
woman who is pretty fucking successful and has been pretty
successful for a pretty long time. And I still hold
on to the goodness, the good things. I still get comfortable.
(15:08):
I've been living in the groundhog day for a little while. Now,
y'all think God, my spirit comes through and is like,
uh uh, girl, no, Nope, get the fuck out, and
thank god I have friends and colleagues around me who
are willing to kick me in the ass. We are
not here for good. You did not come to this
world for mediocrity. You did not. You didn't. I'm so
(15:29):
sorry that I have to be the person to show
this to you. We did not come here to compromise
or sacrifice. We came here for greatness. We came here
to be the ultimate creators of our life, to bring
forth our deepest desires and visions. And yet here we
all are present company included, playing it safe, not actually
(15:51):
going after the things we want, and saying, well, this
is good enough. That stops here today. Friend, at least
for me, it does. I would love for you to
join me in drawing that line in the sand. At
the end of the day, that's up to you. There
is free will. You get to choose what you want
to choose, but choose it consciously. If you're gonna choose
the goodness, consciously choose it saying I know that I
(16:11):
am sacrificing my greatness for this goodness to wrap up.
My friend did end up leaving the woman that he'd
been with for many years and he started dating, and
he met someone else who was lovely, and then that
didn't work out, and then he went on a few
other dates, and then he got set up by some
friends and they just moved in together. And she is
his greatness, and they wouldn't have found each other if
(16:33):
he had hung on to the good enough. If he
had hung on to the good enough, I would not
be going after what I'm about to go after if
I was okay with good enough. And I don't want
you to be okay with good enough either. I know
that sometimes when we're going after our big goals and visions,
it can get exhausting and daunting and feel like it's
(16:55):
taking too long. But I just want to remind you
that's not a reason to compromise. It's not a reason
to let go of your dreams or goals. It might
be a reason to reevaluate them. The business that I'm
evolving into is gonna look very little like the business
I've been running for the last ten years. Not fully
ready to talk about where I'm going or what I'm doing.
For now, things will be staying the same, but behind
(17:17):
the scenes, I'm going to be changing a lot of things.
And that's my greatness. I just want to invite you.
Will you give yourself permission to let go of the
good and embrace the great? I hope so. And if
you need any help with this process, please reach out.
You can email me Bree at bricely dot com. You
can find me on Instagram at brisaly. You can download
the Big Goal Energy app and should be a DM
on there. I am holding space for your greatness and
(17:40):
my greatness and all of our greatness, because if we're
not here for greatness, what's the fucking point?
