Happy Thursday WW!! Welcome to van life!

I recently shared this story on my email list, (if you aren’t on my email list sign up here). We recently took a 36-hour overnight ferry and it was so incredible, right now it’s light for like 20 hours a day. The ferry was through these channels, and so calm. We saw wildlife, mountains, and the most glass-like water. Everything about it was so beautiful, I can’t stop talking about it. It was so rugged, so wild, and it was such an adventure!

That was only one part of the adventure and the other part is the people you meet. When you put yourself out there for adventure, you also meet people who are doing the same thing. I know my life is unconventional, and outside the bubble is where I’ve found my mind open the most.

Welcome back for another episode of the Worthiness Mindset podcast! Quick note; things can be messy, and you start anyways!

Robbie and I made a big life decision, we decided to elope! Granted, we decided to do this before we got engaged but still. When we make these large life decisions there will be so many people giving their opinions, so much noise in general. How do you navigate big life decisions?

I am someone who seeks the opinion of others to make decisions. In high school, I wanted to break up with my boyfriend, but I couldn’t make the choice on my own. In fact, I worked at an ice cream shop and dialed a random person’s phone number, hoping that they would help me decide. Where you are with this, I get it, and I give you permission to be in that place.

Happy Thursday WW. This week I will be finally making it to Alaska after 3 years of planning! We just spent some time in Canada, and I’m still in awe that this is my life.

Because of that, it seems like a good time to review the lessons I’m learning and what I’m needing. Remember that everything you need is relatable, universal, and HUMAN. Rose and I created a whole group just for this! Living in the grey, and being whole-ass human beings! Join us in Woman Up here!

Happy Thursday WW, and hello from Washington!

Today we’re going to focus on knowing and sharing your truth. So many times we censor ourselves or stay silent because we’re afraid to get it wrong. You can feel it in your body when you are listening and living your truth. Sometimes, although I know this, I realize that I’m not telling my truth. I’m not sharing because of the noise, but it makes me feel so boxed in without sharing.

Without sharing your truth you get the feeling of being stagnant, you’re not speaking how you feel and moving the energy through. Stop bottling up your truth.

This was so good, that I couldn’t NOT share! There are so many powerful, seemingly put-together women, who are actually really lonely. Recently Rose and I found so much of this recently. By coming together in a community, we’re getting things done. When we stay lonely, with shame in guilt, that’s when the system wins. Us together is active resistance and hope.

How do you get the energy, and creativity to innovate in hard times? Community.

It’s been a heavy week, a devastating week. It feels like when you get stuck in the ocean getting hit by wave after wave, without being able to get up. I choose to show up, not just because it’s needed, but because it’s essential. It’s so easy to get lost in the darkness because there is so much of it.

We must instead, remember the light. Imagine it’s nighttime, and there’s a really thick cloud cover. Even on those nights, the stars are still shining, and the moon is still there. Even when we can’t see it. When everyone else succumbs to the darkness, be the light and remind them that there is still light.

Worthiness Warriors! Happy Thursday! Hello, and thank you for joining me today.

Hello from the Columbia River in Washington. It is finally warm and sunny, so I am LOVING that. I’m so grateful that you’re here with me this week. Time is the most precious commodity, and I’m so thankful you’ve given me your time.

Today I want to talk about worthiness and my health journey. In the past year, I have spent more money on my health than I ever have. Late last fall, I started feeling really bad. I had a terrible energy level, my mental health was declining quickly, and I didn’t know what was wrong. After seeing many doctors, having terrible experiences, and continuing to have to advocate for myself, I couldn’t take it anymore. It was expensive both monetarily and energetically, but I got to a point when I realized that I couldn’t afford not to take care of myself.

I suddenly started taking a look at my life, and the ways in which I wasn’t taking care of myself because it costs money. This isn’t about a gym membership or feeding into the health and beauty industry.

Hello again, Worthiness Warriors! Happy Thursday!

Our last podcast from Portland, and since I last recorded podcast episodes SO much has happened in the world. I’ve kept a list of so many things I want to speak on, but first, we need to talk about the big things going on.

The list of major world events happening goes on and on & sometimes it’s easy to forget the impact that the collective has on us. Because I am a woman, I want to share what I felt the day that the SCOTUS information was leaked. The systems are working as they are designed, to make us question ourselves. To make us not feel worthy of challenging the system, and to keep us small.

We are not in the business of playing small.

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors!! We’re still in Oregon after being back on the road for a few weeks, that’s not to say there haven’t been a few kinks to work out! Van life doesn’t equal a simpler life, but I’m so grateful that these are the problems we have. I want a life full of the problems I choose, I would rather have van life problems and entrepreneurship problems than others.

With that, I ask you, how could your life look different or be different? How could it be simpler? How could you open your mind to the possibility? In order for something to happen, it doesn’t have to look a certain way, or be hard!

This episode was recorded by my friend Rebecca Howe Russell, I hope you enjoy it!

Rebecca shares a few concepts with us today! She talks about having compassion for ourselves, trusting ourselves & trusting our intuition.

Hello again from Bend, OR, another stop on our journey to Alaska.

Today, I want to talk about you, and your life being enough. I’m currently reading ‘The Gap and the Gain’, which talks about taking where you are in the present and comparing it to the future. No matter what you will always feel behind because by the time you reach that accomplishment you would have moved the goal post. When you’re living in the gap, it’s never enough, but when you are living in the gain encourages you to reflect on where you were and how far you’ve come.

A conversation in Woman Up this week inspired this episode! We spoke about allowing ourselves to be wrong, and even celebrating it because it means that we've grown and evolved. One of my newest learned superpowers is this; stop, reflect, and give credit. If we constantly reflect on how wrong we’ve been, out of nowhere we’ve grown and evolved WAY past what we could have expected.

The conversation that ties being right and your worthiness is a big one, an important one. This understanding could heal the divisiveness that exists in our country, family trauma, and the list goes on and on. Embrace being wrong, and say it proud. We are only human.

This episode is a little shorter than usual, and that’s because I want you to take the extra time to reflect on what grace and space mean in your life. So often we feel a sense of urgency to… feel better, change, show up anyway, and stop saying no. Without giving yourself the time to heal, you’re returning at less than 100%, it makes no sense!

When we live on this borrowed time, it’s like a credit card. You are going to have to pay it back. Your body is going to force you to pay it back. Your mental health is going to force you to pay it back.

his throwback episode quickly reminds us that the shadow side of life is all a part of the human experience. The sooner you accept it, the easier it will all be. You’ve got to feel all of the things.

We also go in on our love within. I never believed that people truly wanted to spend time with me or do nice things for me, and in the end this really pushed people away. I downplayed myself and my worth for so long, and apologized for being a burden! I wasn’t a burden, and I needed to stop apologizing. I needed to stop making my doubts and insecurities truth.

Recently in Woman Up we did a series on permission, and the topic came up with every single speaker in the summit. I’ve realized that is what people need more than anything. We just want to feel like we aren’t crazy, and that there is nothing wrong with them. We’re human!! We are finally celebrating being human.

We all just want the permission to be. Not be productive all the time, or always DO! Can’t we just sit on the couch, eat popcorn, and just be. You are more than your productivity. Society has created so much around this idea of not being enough… and we are here to break it.

Hello Worthiness Warriors, and Happy Thursday!

It's one of our final episodes from Denver, and we chat about giving ourselves time and grace while not having such a connection to our 'identities'.

We moved out of the van and into an apartment about 4 months ago, and it's almost time to return to the road. So much of my identity was wrapped up in living on the road, and turns out taking a break in Denver in this apartment was exactly what I needed.

Hello Worthiness Warriors, and Happy Thursday!

First of all, last week’s summit was so magical, and there was such a collective feeling of relief. We enjoyed every moment, and continue to have people reaching out to share how life-changing it was. Are you doing what is fulfilling for you? Join us in Woman Up here!

Last week I was introduced to something I need to work on. not judging the process or timeline of those around me. Faster doesn’t mean better. As an athlete, I tell myself the faster I go, the faster I’m going to get there. This isn’t true for our process though. In fact, the clients I’ve worked with who get life-changing results are not the ones who force or go faster. They also don’t judge their timeline or resistance. They embrace it.

It's Summit week, and I'd love if you would go and get a ticket! Find that here: https://roseupwards.com/womanupsummit/

Do you ever watch someone with experience work and think that they have something you don't have? I do, and I know this is me playing small. It is so important for me to walk my talk, and heal publically so others can heal privately. If you are looking at me and thinking I have something you don't, I want to remind you that's not the case.

I recently went on my friend and business partner's podcast Affs & Laughs, and Rose gave me the podcast to upload here so you guys would listen to it as well.

This podcast has the usual Rose and Jillie magic, and we also give an intro to our Women's Day Virtual Summit. It's donation-based, there will be 9+ speakers, and all proceeds go to the Hello 7 Foundation. Get your tickets here: https://roseupwards.activehosted.com/f/1

Today we set the tone by learning my mantra before I speak or record podcasts. I hope that what you get today, is exactly what you need.

Many around me are off of social media or spending less time there than ever. With this I tell you, that your power isn’t conditional, your worth isn’t conditional, and your joy is not dependent. I used to think that my power, skill, and value was dependent on how I felt! That's SO untrue.
