Everything Is Figureoutable

This week, I've had some pretty amazing things happen in my life and business. And while I'm not yet ready to share all the details, I do have something to share about the journey and the process. Because this week, I was reminded just how it easy it can be to stay in the same place because trying to figure out all of the unknown details seems nearly impossible.

In this week's short 6 minute video, I share exactly what I mean!

So in the spirit of going after your dream life and livelihood, this week's #StyleTruthChallenge asks: 

WHAT ARE YOU AVOIDING DOING BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT? 

For this week's challenge, I want you to take a look at those things right now that are freaking you out...that you're procrastinating...that you're avoiding doing because of the WHAT IF (i.e. what if you can't figure it out?). The beautiful thing is, this is just your mind keeping you from growing because it's the safe place to be. My challenge is to take the leap anyway...get started, and do something, knowing that everything will be figureoutable along the way.

Cheers to figuring it out and moving forward into your bespoke version of A Love Styled Life!

Face This and Live The Dream

When I first started my business, and began working with clients professionally, I noticed a pattern...especially among high achieving, driven, and ambitious women entrepreneurs. Yes, we go for it! We say YES to doing something different, playing life by our own rules...seeking the create a livelihood ( a career AND a lifestyle ) that not only breaks with tradition but one that allows us to experience everything we've ever dreamed to experience in life. 

But let me be real...entrepreneurialship is not for the faint of heart. As my mentor Gina DeVee reminds quite frequently, running a business is like building an airplane while flying at 30,000 feet. And from personal experience in building my own bespoke version of A Love Styled Life, I am here to tell you that there couldn't be a statement more close to the truth. But the key to success...the key to living this amazing life and livelihood you dream about...is to keep flying and to keep building the plane. 

I see so many women give up on the idea of living a dream life, often times way before they even get started. Even when their idea is spectacular, their ambition empowering, and their drive to make a difference in this world inspiring. They don't start. Or they stop right before things are about to get really good.

Why?

This week's short 3 minute video breaks it down to one simple thing:

FEAR.

FEAR is the thing that holds us back...that keeps us small...and that prevents us from trying, taking chances, and from doing everything it takes to create the life inside our wildest dreams. But what I've come to know is this...FEAR is meant to be faced. FEAR is meant to be loved. Because what we FEAR is often THEE thing we must overcome. It's the thing that will take us from spiraling out of control to flying our planes in smooth air at 32,000 feet. 

For me, when I faced the FEAR of failure...the FEAR that success would take me further and further away from those I loved...the FEAR that I wasn't worthy of the dreams within my heart...that's when I knew what my thoughts and beliefs were saying. And once I knew what my thoughts and beliefs were saying...only then could I actually begin to shape my thoughts and beliefs to ones that supported the life I dreamed to live. 

So in the spirit of going after your dream life and livelihood, this week's #StyleTruthChallenge asks: 

WHAT is your biggest fear(s)?

For this week's challenge, I want you to face your FEAR. What are your thoughts and beliefs saying, and what do you need to change? Be brave, know that everything is happening for you, and that your FEARs are pointing the way.

Cheers to facing your FEAR and living A Love Styled Life!

Becoming The Dream

There are 400 billion bits of information that our brain has exposure to...every single moment of the day. 

Yes...you read that right...400 billion bits of information!

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that not even the most advanced of human brains can compute all that information at once. 

So what does our brain do?

It narrows down that 400 billion bits of information into a measly 2,000.

Yes, you read that right...

Every single moment of the day, your brain pulls out and processes only 2,000 bits of information from the 400 billion bits of information available to it. And just to hit that point home further, those 2,000 bits of information are approximately one-half of one-millionth of a percent...or one half of this little number: 0.000001. Needless to say, in comparison to what's available to us, our brain doesn't even come close to tapping into all that's available to us in any given moment of the day.

But what does this have to do with living A Love Styled Life? Simply...everything. Because the thoughts, beliefs, and feelings we hold about everything in our life becomes the barometer for what information our brain pulls out and processes.

In this week's video, Elizabeth Gilbert (author of Eat, Pray, Love) talks about how this played out in her own life...and specifically in relation to her love life, and attracting the man of her dreams. Watch the short 3 minute video below:

As Elizabeth Gilbert talked about, she wasn't able to attract the love of her life into her life, until she became the kind of woman who stood in her power and recognized her worth. Her brain literally couldn't recognize the amazing relationship, until she had an amazing relationship with herself and knew (aka thought, believed, and felt) that it was possible.

So in the name of becoming your dream life, this week's #StyleTruthChallenge asks: 

What will you need to become, in order to live the life and livelihood you're dreaming of?

For this week's challenge, I want you to share one little thing you can begin to become in order to move closer and closer to your dream. Is that test driving your dream car, taking 20 minutes to meditate, or signing up for the domain of your dream business? Is it creating an affirmation such as: " I look forward to having a free work schedule ", or " I look forward to feeling confident about myself ", or " I look forward to living the life of my dreams "?

The Eagles & The Chickens

I can't believe my week in Italy is coming to a close (right now, as you're reading this, I'm in the air...probably drinking coffee and watching my third movie of the long trans-atlantic flight).

What an amazing adventure it's been, with more growth and expansion in my life and my livelihood than I ever thought could be possible in just seven days. For this week's #StyleTruthSunday challenge, I share with you one such growth...something I became vividly aware of while traveling abroad this week. And more importantly, something that can easily keep us playing small in our life and livelihoods. 

What is it, you ask?

Well...

it all has to do with whether or not you have eagles, or chickens.

Huh? 

Yes, you did read that right.

Don't worry, I explain all of it in this week's short 8 minute video (filmed live from my hotel in Milan). Check it out below:

Honor You, And Miracles Happen

Good morning (or goodnight, depending on where you are in the world). After a long travel journey, I'm finally in Italy...relaxes, meditated, and able to finally soak in all the beauty I'm seeing around me. This experience, while just beginning, has been something beyond my wildest dreams...and I couldn't be more excited to share it with you! 

And while I don't have a single video for you this morning, I want to invite you over to my FB page, where I'll be sharing videos with you all week from my journey here! Remember ladies, anything and everything is possible!

Cheers to living your own bespoke version of #ALoveStyledLife
