Do you ever find yourself battling against the conditioning you received as a young girl?

Carmin started a program for girls to help teach them to believe in themselves, find their voices, and develop a healthy body image. She is making a difference, one girl at a time!

This episode is a continuation of our interview with Kimberly Gilgeours. With the knowledge she’s gained in over 25 years in the financial industry, along with her speaking and coaching experience, she shares some of her secrets for staying positive, as well as how adversity shapes us, and how important it is for us to find our purpose.
Show notes
Kim mentioned her favorite app for positive affirmations: Think Up. Here’s the website for more information: https://www.thinkup.me/
When your energy shifts, make sure to run through the HALT acronym to help identify potential sources. HALT stands for Hunger, Anger, Loneliness, and Tired.

Email: kimberly.gilgeours@gmail.com
The key takeaways from Kim’s interview:
1 - Make sure to take some time to take care of yourself. Sometimes we’re so busy taking care of others that we forget to take care of ourselves.
2 - When you feel your energy shift, ask yourself 3 questions: What just happened? Why do I feel like this? And what can I do to get back to the wonderful state I was in?
3 - Use positive affirmations. Kim mentioned the app “Think Up” that lets you record your own affirmations for different parts of your life.
4 - Sometimes the more we talk about the things holding us back, the bigger it becomes in our life.
5 - When you’re not in a good state, use the HALT acronym to help you make adjustments. HALT stands for Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. While you’re in any of these states, you may not be able to make decisions that are in your best interest.
6 - Be yourself and don’t compare yourself to others.
7 - Adversity helps to shape the person we become.
In today’s episode we’re talking with Kim Gilgeours, a speaker, coach, and financial professional for over 25 years. In part 1 of this interview, she shares with us how her Mom was a driving force behind her career in finance and why it’s so important for her to help others get their financial house in order.
We also talked about:
- Mentors - both willing and unwilling
- Work / Life Balance
- How important it is to know your true value (and how to get what your worth)
- Why it's critical for women to know their financial position (even when their spouses say everything is fine)
