2024-02-0840 minTHE ENERGY TO SUCCEED1. Start a Podcast in 5 Easy StepsHello, I'm Bee! Your Business Coach and Personal Cheerleader.
I spent years in success paralysis, also known as feeling like a "failure". I found that building success and a fulfilling career path was an emotional process with lots of distractions and road blocks along the way. The hardest parts of my journey building my mission driven business were also the most beautiful but they wouldn't have been possible without a supportive business community.

LOST IN THE LABELS206. #strong-willedAre you #strong-willed, unwilling to bend, move, negotiate or compromise? Does it benefit you? The answer to this question is IT, meaning this label, probably does. You will likely find that you "get" your way more times than not and you may have even learned tools to move people more and more your way over time. You may also be called #stubborn, unwavering, unwilling, narcissistic, gaslighting, manipulative and MANY other things. You may feel a continued and rewarding sense of control that helps you feel safe and secure. Though you may care deeply about the people around y...

LOST IN THE LABELS205. #agreeable#agreeable is 1. enjoyable and pleasurable; pleasant 2. willing to agree to something These definitions seem SO innocent. How in the word could they be seen as a bad thing? Have you ever heard someone say too much of a good thing isn't a good thing?! To be too-agreeable could lead to a system of people-pleasing or self-sacrificing. Today's episode will give you a fresh, unique perspective on this behavior or personality trait and how it may be showing up in your life. Do you think that being #agreeable is a positive, negative or both? Do...

LOST IN THE LABELS204. #people-pleaser#people-pleasers are generally agreeable, compliant, willing, accommodating, complacent, obliging, accepting, etc. You may have an idea of some additional personality traits or behaviors that contribute to your self-proclaimed label of people-pleasing. People often will be attracted to you because of your habit or system of self-sacrificing in the name of serving or pleasing others. We can easily find ourselves surrounded by #takers, #narcissists, #bullies, #dominant people or a number of other "types" that we may not want to be IN relationship with. In fact, sometimes those "types" are the very individuals who created the #people-pleasing tendency in u...

LOST IN THE LABELS201. Is your self worth sore?People often want to know how I crumbled to a place of zero self worth and deep rooted insecurity. The simple answer is that I cared too much what the WRONG people thought about me. The complex answer is that my human spirit is sensitive and I'm deeply impacted by disconnection and relationship breakdown. This kept me hanging on dearly to the people in my life who I knew needed to be loved the most. Guru's would call me a people pleaser or a master of self-sacrifice. Somehow, my greatest gift was turned into another negative after years of...

It's HARD to spend time with people that you love who also cause you to WISH things were different. Many of you describe feeling unseen, unheard or not valued by members of your immediate or extended family. Even sometimes describing a family member who is so needy that the rest of you don't have the space to show up as you. It doesn't really matter what your particular circumstances are, if you're...

I don't write as often as I would like to but I opened those journals to the VERY first entries I made. In this episode, I read you the letter I wrote my son and daughter.

It was like leaving hundreds of dollars on the floor in a strange place and hoping that nobody else would pick them up and enjoy them for themselves. I couldn't help but wonder if the packages would actually get to where I sent them. Then I started thinking about the adventures that each of these packages had in front of them.

LOST IN THE LABELS194. What's your struggle pie made of?You've probably heard of humble pie, referring to someone who needs a reality check or just a bit less ego to go with their long list of self-proclaimed achievements, but what about a struggle pie. Have you ever heard of that? Last week we discussed levels of resiliency with my special guest Ed Beard, The Question Professor. Resiliency has a strong tie to how we handle struggle and what we do to OVERCOME it. Those who would be considered "low" or "limited" resiliency are more likely to notice struggle and add negative emotion to it, while "high"...

We learn to hide our deepest hurts, the scathing wrath of our inner bully and the beliefs that come with that conversation with ourselves. We can't show those vulnerabilities because we've learned that...

LOST IN THE LABELS191. What are you building?Has anyone ever asked you, "what are you building?" When I think back on my life, the ONLY time someone asked me that is when I was building something tangible that prompted someone's curiosity. I've also noticed recently that we don't pay enough attention to people around us to notice when they are building something non-tangible. We aren't confident or curious enough to ask questions when we don't YET see proof of concept. To piggy back on yesterday's episode on resiliency, I believe that this is the reason that many people hold themselves back. They n...

LOST IN THE LABELS188. #traumaThe word (or label) trauma seems to terrify people who were raised to, "brush things under the rug". It seems that the other labels you wear don't matter because deciding to address the small and large traumas in your life are intimidating, vulnerable and (let's be honest), sometimes it feels like they're better left in the past. My self-worth was a size zero for YEARS because I was taught that time will heal, along with many other gimmicky comments that I was told throughout my life. Time rarely "heals", in fact, it may make you believe that y...

Coaching is designed to push you past what's holding you back into the future YOU, that you desire. There's one BIG problem. There's a gap between coaching and therapy. I'm not sure it has a name... maybe paralysis, discomfort, fear of failure... who knows?! Regardless of "its" title, there's a big leap between understanding what has hurt you and deciding you're ready to let it go and show up differently. This year, after recognizing time and t...

However, the first thing that stands in your way when you're getting ready to chase a big audacious goal is YOU!

As a child, I don't remember hearing the word confident and I don't remember learning about it in school. Although I do remember having some form of reference to confidence because I could recognize where I was deficient in comparison to others. My biggest memory of this was playing sports during my most formative years and constantly comparing my abilities and achievements to those who were "better" or "worse" than me.

The labels that cross my mind as I picture that woman are #stuck, #frustrated, #insecure, #broken, #abused and #lacking.

LOST IN THE LABELS87. #selfawarenessMark Twain once said, “it ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble, it’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so”. The blessing and curse of doing what I do is that tags jump out and bite me thousands of times a day. I actually can’t help but identify labels as they are swirling around in our world. This week was no different. I’ve heard four people in the last two days tell me a personality trait that they have and then solidified that statement with, “it’s just who I am, I’m fine w...
