149: Playing Small, The Cat & The Pottery 'Situation'

Today’s episode is about how to PLAY BIG...and inspired by – of all things - a cat wandering into my pottery class…yes, really!

3 or 4 months ago I took up pottery – I know I have a tendency to overwork (I’m sure you can relate, right?!), so I knew I needed to put in time for a creative pursuit.

I get such a kick out of my work and a real sense of achievement, but I wasn’t really going back to that grounded place my soul needs most. Pottery allows me to be mindful and focus only on what’s in front of me. It’s a real lesson in slowing down.

And taking the time to slow down and be quiet allows intuition to drop in.

It’s easy to overwork and to focus on work we don’t love, just to stay safe, push forward and remain in what we deem to be the right lane. But when intuition speaks to you, it will confirm to you that isn’t the right approach.

We all have mindset gremlins that are designed to keep us safe, like that fear of judgment, imposter syndrome, that “staying small”.

But you are here to make an impact. You’re here to move past those gremlins and strive for all you can achieve.

Today I talk about those subconscious beliefs that keep us in a pattern that hold us back from advancing our businesses.

You want those clients that give you tingles. Then you KNOW you’re on the right track.

But oftentimes, even though this is what you’re looking for, this desire is nowhere to be seen in your messaging!

That gremlin on your shoulder can creep in, telling you you’re doing the wrong thing, or that you’ll lose credibility if you share this in your marketing.

It takes commitment to defeat these gremlins and get uncomfortable, but you can start small – even the smallest of actions is a step in the right direction.

Whatever it is that’s keeping you safe is also keeping you small – and you know it’s time for you to play big.

Enjoy the listen!
