Join my story time about an event I attended that forced me to step out of my comfort zone.

Mentoring Monday is an event presented by Pathfinder bank that connects professionals from the Central New York women's business community. This dynamic in-person event brings together experienced leaders and young professionals for a unique networking opportunity.

Can I tell you how nervous I was to be there?? I was so unsure of what to wear, what to say, what questions to ask or even WHY I was there!! Have you ever signed up for an event and then the day of you second guessed why you even agreed to attend and make a fool of yourself? Well listen up because I have got a story to tell you.

Join me with my very special guest Dorie Kayy (Doriekayy.com) and her daughter Khazhir as we girl talk on what loving yourself looks like. We talked about ways we show ourselves love by investing in self, showing compassion, reflecting on goals and so much more! Get your notebooks ready to take some notes!

Sometimes I find myself comparing myself to other people that are doing great in the field I want to be great in. I'll admit, this can lead to some negative self talk along with fears. Then I remembered this quote and I realized, everyone has a special gift inside of them that is unique and needs to be shared with the world. We are all spread-out throughout this world so that we all can deliver those special gifts to those around us. My gift, although it may be similar to someone else's, comes with my experience, my thoughts and my ideas...My special sauce. It is my job on this earth and in this life to share my gifts topped with my own special sauce. It is my mission to inspire others to get their own gifts out to the world because we are all gifted with a purpose, and that purpose is made to be shared.

In this episode I tackle some of the reasons why I was afraid to start a podcast. We break down the word Fear and why we allow it to stop us from moving in our purpose. Which FEAR are you moving in? Forget everything and run or Face everything and Rise.

Hello My name is Jai and I am starting my first solo podcast.

I was very nervous to begin but then I remembered the quote hanging on my wall:

" Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of FEAR"

And here I am! My personal Good Vibes Only journal In hand, my notebook to keep me organized and my laptop to record. No fancy equipment, just me and my big ideas.

In this podcast I will be sharing my personal self love journal in hopes to inspire you to start your own or to help you grow through it. I believe that you will find great value in the things I will be sharing because so much of it helped me. I hope to be able to pour into your cup and provide an over flow of abundance so that you may pour into others from your saucer. So...

Here's to Strong Women

may we know them

may we be them

may we raise them

Signing out with LOVE,

Jai
