Blog Posts and A Podcast

First of all, I want to tell you about these blog posts. When I first started writing my blog, it was for me. A chance to tell my story, to hear myself. To put these words out into the world in hopes that they would heal some brokenness inside me. That they would validate another moms experience at the same time. Then I started my business, and I tried to think about what my clients wanted to hear. What I could teach them about working with me.

I started to lose the inspiration to write posts. I started to view it just as another thing to check off my to do list, just another thing that I’m supposed to be doing. Then I got the idea to start a podcast – a podcast would be so FUN I thought! I would record one a week, everyone could listen to it and apply that concept in their daily lives.

Do you see what I was doing here? I was trying to change my circumstance (producing content for my business) so that I could feel how I wanted to feel (inspired), instead of looking at the thoughts that were producing my feeling of uninspired (I don’t want to write blog posts anymore. It would be funner to make a podcast).

Isn’t that SO interesting? You guys I’m telling you- the model is working in your lives whether you are aware of it or not. Anyway, I decided to instead walk my talk- I am sticking with the blog for now instead of growing a podcast too. A podcast is for sure coming in the future, but for now I am going to treat my blog posts like I would starting a new podcast.

I want to write these for you. I want to tell stories, to teach you different concepts that I’m learning, to give you some steps for applying them in your life. Each post will be exactly what I would talk about in a podcast episode, but you’ll just read it instead of listen to it.

Maybe it’s not as convenient to consume as a podcast because you can’t just listen to it while you’re multitasking, but maybe that’s actually a good thing. Maybe it’s a reason to sit down with a cup of coffee every Friday morning, to read the post, and then do a little bit of writing on what it brought up for you. To evaluate how your week went, and think about what you want your weekend to be.

So my short snippet for you today, is just this: My words will have a whole new meaning for you if you are doing the work as you follow along.

I have been listening to Brooke Castillo’s “The Life Coach School” podcast for YEARS. Literally. And now after starting my business, I’m going back and listening to the same episodes again. It hit me today how much more I get out of it when I’m actually doing the work. The words have a whole new meaning when I can apply it to what I’m experiencing in growing my business, not just dreaming about having a business.

I want you to do the same with your life. The concepts that I’m teaching you each week, the content that I’m putting out there – whether it’s my emails, IG lives, or these posts – I want you to see how you can apply it to your life. Do the work, and you will 10x the results you get from it.

And do you have a specific topic/concern/something you need help on? Don’t hesitate to shoot me an email – I will happily do a post around it. Also know that if you are struggling with it, guaranteed that many more are too.

Yay to moving forward!:)
