Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, Hey, beautiful souls, Welcome back to another steaming cup
of hot mess focus vibes, where we turn a messy
moments into motivational masterpieces, one real talk conversation at a time.
I'm your girl, Siena Cruz, and today let's get vulnerable,
because who doesn't love a good confession. We're diving deep
into the lessons learned from myopic blunders, those moments that

(00:22):
felt like at our trainex but ultimately paved the way
for some major growth. Ever feel like you're stumbling through life,
tripping over your own two feet. You know that feeling
when you think you've got it all figured out, only
to realize you walk straight into wall of epic proportions. Yea,
that's been me more times than I care to admit.
But honey, those moments, the ones that make you want

(00:44):
to crawl under a blanket and disappear, they are actually
golden opportunities disguised as atter chaos. So let's talk about
some hard won wisdom from my very own hot mess.
Express Number one, Embrace the power of imperfection. You know what,
We're not meant to be perfect little robuts flawlessly executing
every move like a well oiled machine. We're humans, and

(01:06):
that means we make mistakes, big ones, small ones, the
kind that leave you blushing or laughing your head off
in retrospect. The key is to stop beating yourself up
about them, learn from them, dust yourself off, and keep
moving forward. Number two, don't be afraid to ask for help. Seriously, friends,
this one's a game changer. We often think we have

(01:29):
to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders,
but guess what. You don't have to go it alone.
Reach out to those who care about your family or besties,
even the quirky coworker who always makes you laugh. Sharing
your struggles can lighten the load and provide a fresh
perspective ye might not have seen before. Number three, trusture
got instinct that little voice inside of you, the one

(01:53):
not sometimes whispers, warnings or nudges you in a different direction.
That's your intrusion, baby, and it's usually write on the money.
Don't ignore those gut feelings. If something feels off, it
probably is. Take a step back, listen to that in
a voice, and make decisions that align with your values
and what feels authentically. Number four, celebrate the small victories

(02:18):
life can feel like one giant marathon, and sometimes we
get so caught up in reaching the finish line that
we forget to save at a journey, remember to celebrate
those little winds along the way, a successful presentation, a
healthy meal you actually enjoyed, finishing the chapter of your book.
These moments add up and keep you motivated to push forward.
And finally, number five, be kind to yourself. Seriously, this

(02:41):
is non negotiable. Life throws curve of balls. It's inevitable,
but how we respond to those challenges makes all the difference.
So be patient with yourself, practice self compassion, and remember
that you're doing your best. And honey, that's more than enough.
Now let me paint a picture for you. Imagine this.

(03:03):
I was supposed to give a major presentation at work,
the kind that could make or break your career trajectory.
You know, the one where every eye in the room
is laser focused on you, waiting with baited breath for
your next move. I had spent weeks prepping, rehousing until
my tongue knew the script by hot visualizing success every
step of the way, and then disaster struck right before

(03:25):
I took to the stage. I realized I'd left my
entire presentation date back at my desk of full five
flaws down. My heart dropped faster than a poorly executed
bungee jump. Hannicks surged, threw me like a title with
did I salvagees? Was it all over? My inner hot
mess was screaming its lungs out, but something within me clicked.

(03:45):
I took a deep breath, reminding myself that I knew
the content inside and out. So I did what any
self respecting, resourceful hot mess would do. I improvised. I
chuckled may and as Shakespeare enacto, delivering a powerful, half
felt presentation based on memory and sheer will parr. You
know what, it was one of the best presentations I

(04:07):
ever gave. It wasn't flawless, but it was authentic, engaging,
and most importantly, it came from a place of resilience
and adaptability. The moral of the story embrace the unexpected,
learn to roll with the punches, and never underestimate the
power of improvisation. Even when life throws you a curveball,
and trust me, evil, you can always find a way

(04:28):
to spin it into something amazing. So, my brilliant hot messes,
