What's going on, y'all? I am recording a podcast today despite I am recording a podcast today despite Fighting off a cold for two weeks and still being congested, I am sure you can hear in my voice. I am sure that I am going to have to pause recording to cough or blow my nose or clear my throat. So I hope you can bear with me. On this cold driven voice, you know, maybe it sounds sexy, but, I wanted to talk to you guys anyway and I just have to record when the inspiration strikes and you got to follow that energy and as I lean more into kind of my flow and my energy and what I'm able to do what I'm attempting, is to lean in when my inspiration strikes. So often, I'll get inspired to work on cool, calm, and rich, which is this kind of ever growing baby, community, business, whatever. And I will prioritize something else. Because, there's stuff for Space Creators that's on my to do list, or there's stuff for my, for my personal life, for my family that needs to get done. And this one ends up on the back burner, but, I go for weekly readings with my friend, the lovely Rose, here in the Valley. And she is a psychic intuitive reader, and we do alignment reading sessions together. And we had one yesterday, and she was really encouraging me that right now is a time for me to lean into the inspiration, and it can strike at any time. And I think that's the thing about creative energy is we're not really in control of, when that energy strikes. But when it does. If we're able to just give ourselves permission to lean into it, so much magic can come out of it, and I don't know about you, but I find when I do honor it and I do lean in, I'm so productive around it and able to come up with some really amazing stuff. And so, all that to say, you know, that's kind of why I'm recording right now. And it's the middle of the afternoon, and there are definitely other things that I could be doing, but quite frankly, all I want to do is sit here and talk to you. The other reason that I'm feeling really inspired to connect with you right now is just to talk about the reasons why it's so important to keep showing up with your message. And sometimes it can really feel like, you know, what am I doing all of this for? When you can't necessarily see the future of the outcomes of everything that you're working towards, and things can really feel like a grind sometimes, you know, whether it's posting on social media, showing up, and sharing, and being vulnerable. It can really feel like a lot, and two of the most amazing things have happened to me this past week that have just been So affirming for me and just really those moments of like, wow This is this is truly what it's all about and If you guys follow me, you know that so much of me doing cool calm and rich is actually about you know showing up for myself in a way that I really need to that when I don't It's become so much easier for me to neglect myself and my needs but when I do and when I am actively engaging in, in this podcast, in this community I take so much better care of myself and I think that it's, it's accountability, but it's also. You guys inspiring me to do it. So thank you for that, but, you know, what I wanted to share was first thing is I was on a discovery call with a new potential client. Who, I was very excited to chat with and one of the things that I always ask about when I'm talking with, new clients is about their goals around their business and, and not only business, but life because for so many entrepreneurs, our business and lives are, are deeply intertwined So I was asking, you know, what are your goals? Where do you want this to go? How do you want, hiring marketing to, impact you and your business and your life? And I kid you not. Her answer was that her goal is to be cool, calm, and rich. And this was the most. It's like, in the, in the call, in the moment, I so grateful, so thankful, but like, you kind of keep going and keep talking and it was after the call that the weight of her saying that really hit me. No one had ever kind of said my brand back to me in that way before, and it was Not the first time, but like one of the more impactful times that I think it's really resonated for me That the brand is doing something and that it is inspiring people and it was just It was the coolest friggin thing ever to hear like someone telling me that their goal is to be cool calm and rich like What? It was incredible. And so this just reminded me like, oh my gosh, yeah, what you're doing people are hearing it and it's meaning something and it's positively affecting me but I always say like what a beautiful bonus it would be if it meant anything to anyone else and that was the first affirmation of that this week. The second affirmation. was a message that I got from a girl that I know here locally, and She was just thanking me for being myself and for showing up authentically and basically saying that it meant so much to her. Oh my gosh, I'm getting emotional. I think it's just one of those things that, you know, especially with social media, we really don't always get to understand. The impact that we're having on other people. People don't always share the, the ways that our posts and our showing up makes them feel. But this particular person took the time to let me know. And it's just this moment of feeling like, holy, it really is all worth it. I already have that kind of innate feeling inside that like I know that this is worth it. It's worth it for me. But hearing that from someone else, basically someone affirming back to you that you are doing exactly what you set out to do it's incredible. It, and it's all these times of questioning yourself. Right? Which I'm sure so many of you can relate to, of like, I've got these goals, I've got these dreams, like, am I, making them happen? And for her to send me that message was basically it just a big huge affirmation of yes, you are. And All of that really just reminds me and, and makes me feel like I just want to reach out to like everyone who has such a positive influence on me and let them know. It's so important to tell people how they make you feel. Especially when it's inspired and when it's good and it makes you feel happy or healthy or stronger or better. Tell them. Tell them how you feel, and tell them that they're doing a good job. Tell them that you see them, that you recognize them, and their efforts mean something to you. I know I'm definitely going to make so much more of an effort to doing that. And it's, it's as simple as a DM on Instagram, a text. It doesn't have to be fancy, it doesn't have to be well worded. It will just go such a long, long way. Well, thank you for joining me today. Thank you for putting up with my sick voice. And I just really wanted to connect with you guys today. I'm so grateful for you as always. I really appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you for being a part of my community. Until next time, stay cool, stay calm, and stay rich.
