Takeaways:

• Confidence is like a muscle - you build it by exercising it. Feeling confident is more like the endorphins after the workout - It’s the result of practicing confidence.

• We grow confidence by building up the courage to take the action, taking the action, that action is the proof that you can do hard things, which builds confidence.

• You don’t have to wait to feel confident before doing the thing.

Takeaways:

• Showing up as your authentic self to contribute your gifts to the world requires the confidence to show up.

• Confidence is a muscle. It grows and builds as you develop and work on it.

• If your goal of being confident is to not feel uncomfortable or insecure or anxious. That’s not confidence – that’s comfort.

• Misconception: Confidence - you just have it or you don’t.

• • Reframe: We start confident and are taught to doubt ourselves. So, we can re-build confidence.

• Misconception: confidence is never feeling insecure or uncomfortable

• • Reframe: Confidence is more than a feeling. Confidence is trusting yourself. It’s a belief that you can rely on yourself.

• Misconception: Confidence is “IDGAF” energy.

• • Reframe: Confidence isn’t about other people. It’s about devoting your focus, time, and energy towards your values and priorities.

Takeaways:

• Romanticizing your life is about believing in yourself, believing you are worthy of being cared for, and giving yourself space to be creative and tap into your talents to have the impact you want to have.

• Romanticizing can help motivate you to do things you need, but don’t feel like doing. It can help make taking care of yourself feel good.

• We are not our best selves in survival mode.

• You’re able to give differently, when you’re giving from an overflow instead of your last couple of drops.

• You are worthy of luxuriating, of creating a life that you want to sink into.

Takeaways:

• Romanticizing your life is Self-care + Mindfulness.

• Self care is all about taking care of your current self and setting your future self up for success.

• You don’t have to earn rest. (emphasis on the period)

• Scheduling a self-care “event” such as brunch with friends, a massage, a pedicure, etc. can be a helpful first step to create the routing of romanticizing your life.

• Take time to notice what you need because you don’t always need the same thing. Because you’re human and your needs fluctuate. And that’s okay.

• Romanticizing can help you want to do the things to take care of you.

Takeaways:

• You are rare and valuable. You have something unique and valuable to offer the world that only you can give.

• You’re never going to be as good at being someone else as you could be at being the best version of yourself.

• Your worth is not tied to other people. What someone thinks or feels about you has no impact on your value.

• When you start standing up and standing out, and then people start trying to tear you back down, remember It’s not about you. So much negative input is projection.

• Dimming your light doesn’t make anyone else’s light brighter, it just makes the room dark.

Takeaways:

• We often experience tension between short term comfort and long term goals in the sense that what we want to do in the moment doesn’t always align with where we want to be headed in our lives.

• Being intentional is huge because the journey of our lives is made up by the small steps taken day after day, hour after hour.

• Identifying baby steps that can be taken when you have energy and capacity to “be productive” can be powerful tools to help you make progress.

• Setting up defaults for when you’re ready to be productive can help set you up for success.

Welcome to the second half of my interview with my first guest on the show, my friend Megs Crawford! Megs is a professional organizer with ADHD, a podcaster, a speaker, and an ADHD coach. One of her superpowers is helping people believe in themselves. We talk about how she got into organizing and made it her business.

This is a two-part interview, so check out last week’s episode if you haven’t listened to the first part yet. A few of my favorite takeaways from this conversation with Megs are:

• Having a support system is a game-changer! It’s so important to have people in your corner.

• Taking action and making mistakes is what helps you gain clarity on what you want to do.

• What is one thing you can do today that’s going to get you closer to your dream?

• Ambiguity is the cause of procrastination. So the more we can clarify the parameters of what we need to do, and break things into tasks, the easier it is to take the action in baby steps.

• Discomfort and mistakes along the way are lessons on how we can change our path to me more in alignment with our values and what we want our lives to look like.

I’m so excited to introduce my first guest on the show, my friend Megs Crawford!

As a professional organizer with ADHD, Megs understands the unique challenges and untapped brilliance of the ADHD brain. She's passionate about helping others with ADHD cultivate organized spaces that foster peace and ignite creativity. Beyond physical and digital organization, Megs is an ADHD coach and does digital decluttering sessions via zoom for clients with a focus on the power of self-belief – a core principle for thriving with ADHD.

Megs is also a speaker, sharing her message of how ADHD can be a superpower when understood and embraced. When not organizing, you can find her with her two daughters, beloved pets, and supportive husband. She finds joy in yoga, singing, and coloring, reflecting her ongoing commitment to personal growth.

A few of my favorite takeaways from this conversation with Megs are:

• Having a coach can be a game changer because they can expedite your journal and help you understand there’s another way of being.

• The people you love and everyone around you gets to benefit from you being selfish.

• Change takes practice. Once you decide you want to make a change, give yourself grace while you practice learning new habits and building new neural pathways.

• Just because you can’t see the stars the first time you look for them doesn’t mean you should stop looking.

This is a two-part interview, so stay tuned for the other half next week! Also, make sure you’re following Megs for awesome content around ADHD, organization, and believing in yourself.
