  • Ever felt like you're just faking it 'til you make it? If so - You're not alone...

    Studies suggest that around 70% of people experience imposter syndrome at some point in their lives.

    But what exactly is imposter syndrome and how do we overcome this?

    Imposter syndrome is a psychological phenomenon where we doubt our accomplishments and have a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud," despite evidence of our competence.

    It can manifest as feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, and a fear of being unable to meet expectations.

    In today's episode, I am offering you 4 crazy ways to start overcoming this phenomenon right now.

    I love to hit you with unexpected was to make overcoming the hard things FUN.

    So get ready to open your mind to a few unique ways you may or may have not ever heard before.

    I am so excited to hear your thoughts about this...

    Let's get into it.

  • If you follow me on Instagram, you have seen me share about my girls nights out.

    These are something I do for myself 1-2 times per month because these nights bring me back to me.

    And every time I talk about these nights, my DM's blow up.

    So much so, that I did a poll on IG asking if you wanted me to do a podcast on the value of a girls night and how I intentionally plan these in a way that leaves me feeling connected, energized and full of so much love.

    This was the most popular poll I've ever posted so guess what - the time has come to dive deep into the value of girls nights out.

    Because the reality is - we are going through a loneliness epidemic as women.

    The pandemic truly changed the way we connect.

    I know for me, this year I finally felt ready to reemerge back into the world.

    I went from starting my business > to my mom being diagnosed with cancer > to losing a baby > straight into the pandemic > to having a baby - OMG.

    😱😱😱😱

    Needless to say, these last few years have been A LOT as I am sure they have been for you too.

    After navigating the pandemic, becoming a caretaker and having my son, I really struggled with feeling disconnected.

    I was operating in full on survival mode which left me feeling alone with 0 fuel left in the tank to do anything.

    At the end of last year after my son turned 1, I felt myself gaining the capacity to socialize again which was SO REFRESHING because I am an energetic extrovert who definitely recharges through spending time with people I love.

    As crazy as it sounds, one of the things that brought me back to life and helped to remind me of who I was on the other side of so many massive life changes was my girls nights out.

    Girls' nights offer a valuable opportunity for us to connect, de-stress, express ourselves, receive support and encouragement, and feel empowered, ultimately contributing to a significant increase in confidence levels.

    I definitely felt that and my hope is that you will too.

    Today we are going deep into why girls nights are one of the most valuable forms of self care.

    I am breaking down the direct correlation between confidence and girls nights out (you will not believe these stats I am about to drop for you ) I am telling you how I plan my nights and why I am so intentional about who I include (hint - no negative Nancy's or energy vampires allowed at Girls Night 😝) I am telling you the 3 specific things that will KILL the vibe of your girls night in an instant (needless to say - you don't want to do these things if you want to have a good night out)

    You want to feel more fulfilled, confident and connected to you?

    Start here by planning your GNO with me.

  • One of the things I get asked the most is “how do I present myself with confidence”.

    Today – I want to offer you 6 power tips to help you do exactly that.

    These tips are the difference between:

    🔹Being the woman who walks into a room, confidently taking up all the space with energy so powerful that leaves everyone wondering “WHO IS THAT?” without you ever having to say a word vs. walking into a room and instantly looking down to reach for your phone because you feel so uncomfortable wondering – OMG, do I look ok? Is everyone staring at me? Where can I hide?

    🔹Standing on a stage with confident authority prepared to slay fueled by devout knowing you are about to kill it because you were made for this moment vs. getting so in your head that you are on the verge of a panic attack, fumbling with your notecards, wondering what everyone will think when you fall apart because you aren’t good enough to even be on the stage to begin with.

    🔹Wearing something that magnetizes people towards you adorned with confidence as your most powerful accessory, feeling so secure & valuable in your own skin vs. letting something wear you, minimizing yourself because you feel so uncomfortable while your subconscious discomfort is unknowingly repelling people away from you because they can feel something is off with you.

    My goal with these tips is to help you:

    1. Let go of the idea you need to fake it until you make it (because for most of us, this mindset leads to crippling imposter syndrome and compare & despair)

    2. Get out of your head so you are no longer weighed down by the heavy doubt, pressure, insecurity and anxiety that comes along with feeling you need to be perfect or get it right all of the time

    3. Disempower the fear of judgement so you can do what you want to do without worrying what anyone else thinks about you

    4. Be aware of what your body language is actually saying to people

    5. Dress in a way that helps you shine and attract people towards you vs. helping you hide and unintentionally repelling people away because your energy is off

    6. Feel so prepared that no matter what situation you walk into, you don’t need to get ready because you are ALWAYS ready.

    Alright – Now that we have covered the focus of today's episode, I am so excited to pump you full of today’s confidence injection.

    AND - I invite you to start applying these tips right away. Do not sit on these because the sooner you apply what I am about to teach you, the sooner you begin presenting yourself with confidence.

    Let’s get into it.

  • Have you ever heard the saying “you are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with?” – Well its true.

    And this is why the friends you surround yourself with have the potential to make or break your success.

    Some people were not put here to evolve. They are here to remind you of what it looks like when you don’t.

    In today’s episode, I want to show you which relationships will help you get to the next level and which ones will keep you exactly where you are at.

    Here is what we are covering today:

    1. The 5 friend archetypes that will hold you back in life & why we need to normalize outgrowing these types of relationships

    2. The reasons behind why I let multiple 20+ year friendships years go and why this instantly elevated my success

    3. Why you need an elevation squad & how having this add so much value to your life

    4. What healthy friendships are supposed to look and feel like

    5. Signs of unhealthy friendships and the toll these will take on your mental + emotional health & your success

    6. Why the length of your relationship is not a good reason to stay in a friendship

    7. 10 questions to ask yourself to determine which friendships are with keeping and which ones you need to let go of

    8. How you will feel once you let these toxic friendships go

    So let’s dive into talking about your friends and see if it is time to lose the weight of relationships that are no longer serving you.

    PS: Inside the CAN Program, I teach you how to assign your elevation squad. So many of my clients found this exercise beyond valuable and asked me to create a workbook on this.

    I included this inside my free confidence generating toolkit because I wanted every woman to have access to this tool.

    If you want me to send you this workbook, message on Instagram @yoursoulmakeup and I will email this right over to you.

  • Today I am sharing a keynote speech I delivered at a Women's Empowerment event back in 2020.

    I have never shared this before until now.

    I asked the event creator for the recording because this speech was powerful, moving, emotional and truly impacted over hundreds of lives in ways I could have never imagined.

    This speech is raw, its vulnerable and in all honestly - part of me wanted to die as I delivered this.

    Part of me is cringing right now knowing you are about to listen to this.

    But my the discomfort my vulnerability is presenting is 100% worth it because I know my words need to be heard.

    When I did this speech, I had to dig deep for every once of courage inside of me and am so happy I did because I still have women reaching out to me to this day telling me how deeply this speech touched them.

    Now if you have heard me speak live, you know I am a passionate speaker.

    I am an activator.

    I am a catalyst for change.

    And the entire room experienced massive shifts on the other side of this speech.

    There were breakthroughs.

    Tears.

    New dreams born.

    Limits broken.

    Old habits and programming released.

    And my hope is that it does the same for you.

    In this speech, I am sharing why I do what I do.

    I am telling you a very personal & moving story about a women I love so much.

    I am leading you through a powerful guided visualization.

    And then we close with a mindset exercise to help you remove anything that is keeping you stuck and keeping you from being your best self and living your best life right now.

    I invite you to:

    Allow this speech activate you. Allow the guided visualization take your mind to places its never been before. Allow the mindset exercise release you from what is no longer serving you.

    This has the potential to be the exact spark you need to ignite something powerful within you.

    So give this a listen and let me know what you think.

    In the meantime, I will be over here nursing my vulnerability hangover 🙈

    PS: Ready to step into living your best life? That is exactly what I will be helping you do in our upcoming workshop. Learn more and get your tickets ​HERE.​​​
