[11:14] Your Internal Board of Directors

[13:55] Embracing Small Acts of Radical Rebellion
- It's about releasing what we're supposed to do, who we're supposed to be, and becoming who we were always meant to be.
- Approach the version of yourself that you never question.
- Releasing her limits has made Jamie feel unrestrained in how she shows up to her community and her clients.
- Doing small acts of radical rebellion means going against "what you're supposed to do"— the things that are not true to who you are.
[16:13] Taking the First Steps Toward Radical Rebellion
- Define what a radical act means for yourself. Radical acts are different for different people.
- Jamie's first act of rebellion resulted in a meltdown. It was tuning her nervous system for what was to come.
- The first steps will feel radical to you. Don't compare yourself to others; only compare yourself to your own previous versions.
Jamie: "Every person has a radical act that they do the first time, then they can decide, 'You know what, I didn't die. I'm okay. Actually, I feel more powerful because I did that. So I'm going to take the next step.'"
- Your big vision dream would feel more attainable once you create small acts of rebellion against your limits.
- Prove it to yourself. Create evidence to release self-doubt and build confidence.
[20:10] Approaching the Most Rebellious Version of Yourself
- Lean into the bold and brilliant version of yourself that you put on the board. Each step of the way will feel radical.
- For perfectionists, a small act of rebellion is being able to make a mistake and owning it.
- We are all programs of what we've learned most of our life. Uploading the bold and rebellious version of you into that will require taking small radical acts.
[21:58] Taking Quantum Leaps
- Quantum leaps are enormous jumps in growth. But people who make quantum leaps also make small leaps in between.
- These small acts of rebellion give you evidence of your worth and let you make bold moves one after another.
[23:44] A Limit Jamie is Still Working Through
- Jamie is still working through how she feels about the size of her body.
- A part of her small act of rebellion is being able to see herself in any size and loving it.
- She went to a cycling class with her friend, where the room was warm. As such, everybody had taken their tank tops off.
- The thought of receiving judgment for taking her shirt off became a struggle for Jamie at that moment. But, she overcame it and felt free and more comfortable in doing so.
- She wants to listen to what her body wants her to do and be selfish about it.
[28:48] What it Means to be a Rebel
- Being a rebel is being more of who you are. It's about taking care of yourself first.
- The more "you" you can be, the more you can create authentic connections.
- It will only be possible when you stop playing small and start being bolder and more expansive.
- Believing in yourself doesn't mean ridding all doubts and negativity. But the goal is for your desires to outweigh your fears.
Jamie: "When it comes down to when someone asks me how they can grow their business, what it means to have resilient growth in their business—it is having radical self-trust."
- Your business should evolve with you. It's about being more of you to make connections and having the courage to change things up in your offers as you see fit.
[33:04] Identifying Your Limiting Beliefs
- What is limiting you?
- What's one radical act you can take to prove against wanting to show up perfectly?
Jamie: "The more rebellious we become against our limits, the more we model our world to be more for us."
