The Courage To BE….

Who AM I?

Am I Brave?

Am I Beautiful?

Am I Enough?

Am I ever going to lose those last 10lbs?

As women, we continuously question our I AM and often find it challenging to embrace our BEING. We often put our trauma and pain on the shelf and abandon our mental wellness for the sake of the misguided programming of our youth that taught us that honoring our strength made us boastful and sacred self-care was selfish.

When we are very young, each of us is programmed with beliefs about our worth, potential, and identity. These beliefs form our self-image.

Our self-image is simply the image we hold of ourselves. If we view ourselves highly and healthily, we're more likely to believe we can be, do, and have more in our lives.

And consequently, those beliefs translate into our actions. And our results.

In other words, people who have a healthy self-image end up being, doing, and having more in their lives.

On the other hand, if we have a low view of ourselves, we might think of ourselves as simply victims of our circumstances.

So, here we are, looking outside of ourselves for the answers that are found within.

So, here we are, looking for the Courage to BE, the best version of ourselves.

So here we are, wondering HOW to make the SHIFT … Let's Talk.

Welcome to Her Executive Presence; this episode is all about having the Courage to BE.

“There is no perfection, only beautiful versions of brokenness.” ― Shannon L. Alder

Perfection is a matter of perspective. In this episode I share how one comment "you show up to perfect" sent me on a deeper self-discovery on my perception of who I AM not based on what others see but rooted in what I know. 

What myth's about perfection do you currently hold?

This season of Walking Through Glass is all about quieting the inner critic “heffa” that stops you from living your best life. If you want to quiet those negative voices and remove your limited beliefs you have to have some tough conversations with yourself. Those conversations are going to take courage and confidence. Don’t worry, I got your back. This season is all about building confidence, maintaining courage even in tough situations, and owning your I AM story.

You cannot rise above the image you have for yourself. Your image is controlled by a mental blueprint we have inside our subconscious mind, and it dictates WHERE we think we belong. I call my subconscious voice “Heffa”, do you have a name for yours?

The Heffa has saved me from making a few horrible decision, like not going on a 2nd date with the creep who wanted to date my breast not me. But she has also interfered with me pursuing my dreams; She whispers things like “ WHO do you think you are?” “ARE you sure you can do that by yourself?” oh, the best one yet is “Remember the last time you tried that and failed.” She doesn’t stop. She is always talking to me so I had learned to TALK BACK to HER. What I did was make the unconscious conscious and fight HEFFA on my territory; the conscious now.

Have I always done things right — NO — will I spend the rest of my life ruminating about things I cannot change - NO - Can I script a new narrative aligned to WHO I AM NOW — absolutely!

Owning your I AM story is the key to creating a positive self- image.

We are all on the same journey although we may take different paths. I have some questions Where are you now? Think about what is working for you and what isn’t .. what is pleasing, what is frustrating .. different areas of your life .. where can you grow .. where are you doing well .. are you doing your best .. what’s your biggest challenge right now .. what’s your biggest asset right now?

Think about all the reasons for your successes and failures. Where are you stuck .. why are you stuck? Where did you win .. why did you win? Where are you stagnating .. why are you stagnating? Where you happy .. why are you happy? Where are you hurting .. why are you hurting? Where do you have hope .. why do you have hope? Where do you feel hopeless .. why do you feel hopeless?

This season of Walking Through Glass is all about quieting the inner critic “heffa” that stops you from living your best life. If you want to quiet those negative voices and remove your limited beliefs you have to have some tough conversations with yourself. Those conversations are going to take courage and confidence. Don’t worry, I got your back. This season is all about building confidence, maintaining courage even in tough situations, and owning your I AM story.

I would like to leave you with a golden nugget to help you finish 2020 strong. Spend some time learning WHO YOU REALLY ARE and unlearn who “they” told you to be or what your circumstances and situations made you believe about yourself. Make the unconscious conscious by having a real conversation with your fears, question your emotions, and interview your feelings. Find time to get quiet this week and love on yourself. Write down ONE thing today that you love about YOU … the real you. I believe in you and challenge you to HOLD YOUR IMAGE.

"When I think of walking through glass is not necessarily like busting through glass. It's really walking with who you are, to the core of your being, it's when I think of walking through glass it's almost like walking with yourself in that mirror sense so the glass for me is a mirror, and it can change daily really when you're walking through glass when you're walking next to glass but really when it comes down to it for me is I envision dirty dusty glass that you've cleaned off, and when I really get that glass clean even if it is just in one spot of an area and I take a step back and I look at it I could see my reflection. So it's really standing with that reflection of myself and seeing what is on the other side of that glass, and knowing that that's where I want to get to. And while that glass may seem like a barrier. It's something that I need to learn to walk with to get through to the other side of who I really am." Marisa Bailey

Meet Natalie

I’m Natalie Newport, and I’m a 29-year-old white woman who still needs to figure my sh!t out. I don’t just mean doing my taxes without the assistance of TurboTax – I mean holding myself and others accountable to learning more about our white/straight/cis/thin privilege and being an intersectional feminist. I grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, so you can’t convince me that our country hasn’t been ignoring racial inequality for generations. Currently, I live in Pittsburgh and I moved for my career at the time - working in news. I started in local news Tulsa and moved to national news. I’ve been in the middle of protests before and after Trump was elected. If I can help give voices those who are marginalized/disenfranchised, then I should. Period. That’s my goal in life.

"I know I can get in my own way, with doubting the work that God called me to do you know doubting that he called me to do it, doubting that I am capable of doing those things and really standing firm on that word that says, you know, those that are called. Also, equipped. And you know it's a lot easier said than done, but I feel that sometimes, I can be my own glass, and that I'm second guessing you know myself second guessing my abilities, and also procrastinating, you know, that's me myself being the glass procrastinating not prioritizing and putting forth the putting time constraints or time restraints around those different things that I'm assigned to or the different obligations that I have. So I would say that more so than anything else. I can be my own glass and I'm probably my piece of glass." Te'retta Hall.

"finding that courage and self love to be able to get myself out of the relationship. And it almost felt like me detaching from a whole identity. And so I felt like pulling away from this individual that I was so connected to for years. It felt like there was so many pieces of me that was so intertwined with that person's identity that I didn't know what was him, or what was me, and I had to redefine who I was. That took some time, I had to hit rock bottom which is not a bad thing I was talking to a few people and I tell them all the time, hitting rock bottom is the best thing because there's only one way up, and that is up."

It can be interesting to understand things from that epidemic level and understand why things are happening the way that they are right now from that perspective.

Meet Nicole Vick ...

Nicole Vick is a public health professional, educator, civic leader, and image consultant who has spent the last fifteen years providing tools and strategies to stakeholders, community-based organizations, students, and residents to improve health and prevent disease in some of Los Angeles County’s most underserved communities.

Her commitment to community has led to a few prestigious appointments. She serves on the boards of three public health/social service organizations and for two years chaired the Health Commission for the City of Los Angeles.

Ms. Vick has a B.S. in Public Policy and Management and Master of Public Health degrees from the USC, a place she lived less than 5 minutes away from growing up but felt beyond reach for a young girl from South Central LA.

In her first “Pushing Through: Finding the Light in Every Lesson” she shares both the heartbreaking pain and the extraordinary triumphs that led her to advocacy and social justice work. Her story takes place against the background of the long neglected and overlooked community of South-Central Los Angeles, where she grapples with the grotesque imbalance of power and privilege as it unfolds in every aspect of her life and those around her.

But I think that actually now is the most important time for us to be our creative human inventive selves.

What do you do, what do you say, how do you respond when the world finally decides to "Do Something" and "Say Something" and "Feel Something" when faced with the undeniable harsh reality of institutionalized racism in American?

"I'm one of the people where I'm not really saying much about it, only because I'm just tired of the over-explaining I'm tired of the debating. I'm like it's just we're not sitting here saying no one else matters. We're just saying that we matter and would like to matter, at some point, to someone. Ultimately, so that's kind of where I am at this point with it and just navigating through the motions and figuring out, and also pushed me more in regards to my brand message and the point of my brand in creating a table for those who feel like they have to fight for a seat at someone else's table."

What happens when trauma has left an indelible mark on your psychological DNA?

Please join me in welcoming special guest Nicole R. Goode.

In this episode Nicole shares that one possible next step for white allies is to support black owned businesses. Supporting black owned businesses is a purposeful option as long as it is not a one-off event. Furthermore African Americans need to practice ethno-aggregation.

Ethno-Aggregation is best defined as the voluntary concentration of individuals and their resources around their ethnic or language commonalities for the purpose of improving their economic and political competitiveness. The term may be new but the concept is not.

There are many golden nuggets so grab your pen, paper, and twitter fingers and tune in for an engaging conversation about Race, Class, and Sisterhood.

Nicole R. Goode, M.A. is a Distinguished Graduate of DePaul University (Chicago, Illinois) and a member of Alpha Kappa Delta International Sociology Honor Society. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Master of Arts in Sociology specializing in Sexuality, Gender, Men/Masculinity and Power, Group Dynamics, Race and Ethnicity, Social Inequality and Stratification.

"This system was built by people. So people can change it."

Meet Sue,

As a John Maxwell certified coach, speaker and trainer, I work with individuals in a group or one-to-one basis, I am very aware of the mistakes that we all make that hold us back I have been there.

Through my story of loss and grief I am still able to inspire, motivate and encourage anyone that has lost their hope and purpose in life and help them rediscover their unique inner strength and gift because I have done it!

I am a survivor of suicide, after losing my first born child I have had to rebuild my life again challenging myself by changing my mindset so that I am still able to see the beauty in life and continue on my journey of adding as much value to other people’s lives.

Life is a journey of highs and lows, we can’t always control everything that will happen to us along our life journey but what we can control is our minds and how we deal with challenging events. Everyday we are given a choice, we can choose to live our best lives in spite of where we find ourselves or live in fear.

Unlike personal development, personal evolution invites individuals to physically change-to evolve. Tune into learn 20 Ways to Evolve to Better Yourself. I have listed my top 7 methods below. Please share in the comments what were your favorite methods.

My Top 7 WAYS TO EVOLVE TO BETTER THE SELF

  1. Do not use the revolving door of excuses and recycled beliefs. Instead, surround yourself with motivation and the proper mindset. Get over yourself. Erase those blocking factors that keep you either culturally or egotistically stunted.

  2. Accept the things you cannot change, but do not accept the things that you can change.

  3. Experiment, experiment, experiment. When trying something new that will equal positive results,experiment until it feels natural. Professional photographers will often describe their camera as an extension of their hand. Work with your tools until they feel entirely natural.

  4. Know that you can operate at high levels and use your frequency and energy to create a proper work ethic. This may involve a change in diet or fitness level, but mind and body are closer than they appear.

  5. Know your gifts and take them seriously.

  6. Evaluate your skills and live in a way that you can constantly improve and use them to your advantage. When it comes to success, being shy is useless. Evolution occurs within an environment. If you want to become a better swimmer, you need to get wet.

  7. Find an environment that works for you. Understand that all obstacles are potential forms of leverage. Instead of “putting up with problems,”

BE Inspired!

Inspiration is everywhere, although it's not always as easy to spot during challenging times.

It can be easy to get stuck in a rut and, once you get there, it can be difficult to get out. But you can find inspiration for yourself and others all around you.

It's important to remember that inspiration means different things to different people. What someone finds stimulating, someone else may find little value or beauty in. If you're going to find your own flash of creativity, you can look for what you're interested in.

While it’s an individual decision, there are a few common starting points. The real individuality comes from how you choose to apply them.

Everyone feels anxious now and then. But there are things you can do to minimize those feelings. Mayo Clinic Health System staff suggest trying the exercise below the next time your mind is stuck on the worry setting.

Sit quietly. Look around you and notice:

  • 5 things you can see: Your hands, the sky, a plant on your colleague’s desk.
  • 4 things you can physically feel: Your feet on the ground, a ball, your friend’s hand.
  • 3 things you can hear: The wind blowing, children’s laughter, your breath.
  • 2 things you can smell: Fresh-cut grass, coffee, soap.
  • 1 thing you can taste: A mint, gum, the fresh air.

This exercise helps you shift your focus to your surroundings in the present moment and away from what is causing you to feel anxious. It can help interrupt unhealthy thought patterns.

Slaying the Inner Bully

Imposter Syndrome is the feeling that you haven’t earned your success, you simply got lucky, and you’re a fraud or “imposter” around people who actually earned it and know what they’re doing. It makes one feel that they do not have the skills or expertise to hold their current job, but instead made it there “by chance;” they think if anyone found out how little they know about their job, they’d be fired immediately.

Imposter Syndrome can cause people to doubt themselves and their ideas at work. This can lead people to avoid sharing their work, leading initiatives, or pursuing challenging tasks for fear of being discovered as an “imposter.”If you’ve experienced this feeling, you are not alone. Many WOMEN feel this way. 

Join this conscious conversation and learn some key strategies to master your mindset and celebrate YOU.

The 2018 Women in the Workplace report recently released by McKinsey & Company and LeanIn.Org reports that for every 100 men promoted to manager-level roles, only 79 women moved up into similar roles. The numbers are even more abysmal for women of color, who make up only 17% of entry-level roles and 4% of C-suite positions. Additionally 33% of women—and 41% of black women—do not have access to senior leaders.

What are some of the root causes?

Is it JUST about disparity in the workplace or does HOME support systems factor into the equation?

Balancing Act: Purpose, Profession, and Parenting

Meet ....  Delene Musielak, MD, FACP, FAAP    For Dr. Delene Musielak, her journey began in her home country, Guyana, South America, where she was born and raised. Dr. Musielak grew up in a Christian home with parents who are both Pastors. Her parents have played a vital role in her upbringing as a persistent, independent and strong woman. At the age of six, she migrated with her family to the United States. From a very young age, she told her parents that she wanted to be a doctor. That is the exact road she pursued. After obtaining her medical degree, she not only went on to train in one speciality, but two. Dr. Musielak is dual-boarded in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. She cares for the whole gamut. Or, as she says, “From the cradle to the grave.” Dr. Musielak has not only made her mark in her local community, but is also involved on a national level in making changes that impact medical care.    Dr. Musielak does not stop there though. She has persevered and continues to challenge herself to be a leader and the best at everything she does. Dr. Musielak is not only a full-time physician, but a super mom of triplets, a wife of an amazing surgeon, an author, motivational and wellness speaker, life and parenting coach and an entrepreneur. She has even started her own show, The Dr. Mom Show, to serve as a medical informational resource.   This year has been exciting for her because she published her first book entitled, “M.O.M. - Meditate. Overcome. Motivate,” which is a 30-Day women’s devotional journal. In addition, she has her first children’s book coming out this summer. Dr. Musielak’s goal is to impact those around her by encouraging and empowering them to reach their maximum potential. She enjoys sharing her own life experiences to help others.

When life gives you challenges Persist, Persevere, and Ignite your Personal Power.

A recent study shows that 60% of executive and professional women experience anxiety, stress, and psychological distress in the workplace. This number increases significantly when we compare these numbers to female business owners.

  • In the past 20 years, the number of women-owned firms in the US has increased 114%.
  • Research shows that many women start businesses because it just seems like a better alternative to the demands of corporate life.
  • In the traditional workplace, women often face gender discrimination and have a hard time balancing work and childrearing.
  • Yet while entrepreneurship seems to offer greater autonomy and flexibility, it can also contribute to economic insecurity. (Inc, Aug 18)

Do women have a different belief system about money from men? “Don’t talk about money” is one of the oldest and most engrained adages which transcends culture and generations.

A UBS survey of high net worth married women, widows, and divorcees found that while 85% of the women said they managed day-to-day expenses, only 23% said they took the lead on long-term financial planning.

These long-term components are the crucial areas that make sure we're prepared for retirement, protected from disasters and are fully optimizing our money. Those who don't manage (or co-manage) their finances with their spouse aren't getting the valuable experience and knowledge to ensure they can be financially independent. The reason women are less involved ranged from a belief that their partner knew more about the topic, to discouragement from their spouse. 

My guest Mirian Toro, Wealth Advisor, joins me in a #consciousconversation about empowerment through financial literacy. Mirian shares her own journey to financial enlightenment due to particular situations and circumstances that served as a catalyst for her to be proactive in developing a solid financial plan for her future.
