This is Part 3 of our Wellness Entrepreneur Bonus Series. In this episode we are talking about how to overcome Imposter Syndrome and how to banish the fears that hold us back from our greatness.

We ask, "How do I stop Imposter Syndrome from preventing me from living the life I want to live with absolute passion and purpose?"

The answer is simple: The only way to stop feeling like an impostor is to stop thinking like an impostor.

Let's change our mindsets today with this bonus episode!

Do you ever feel like a fraud? Do you worry that you will be “exposed” at any moment? Have trouble accepting praise? You may be suffering from Imposter Syndrome.

According to Psychology Today, people who struggle with imposter syndrome have an underlying belief that they are undeserving of their achievements. They feel that they aren’t as competent or intelligent or creative as others might think—and that soon enough, people will discover the truth. It It often disproportionately affects high-achievers, who find it difficult to accept their accomplishments.

Originally referred to as “Imposter Phenomenon” the concept was first brought to public attention by Psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes in a 1978 Study, which focused on high-achieving women. They say “Despite outstanding academic and professional accomplishments, women who experience the imposter phenomenon persist in believing that they are really not bright and have fooled anyone who thinks otherwise.” 

If you experience this feeling of being an imposter - You are not alone. Turns out 70% of us experience impostor syndrome at some point in our lives. 

You may have found yourself asking yourself the same questions over and over.

Who am I to start a blog, youtube channel, or podcast? Who am I to write a book, become a coach, or create an online course? Who am I to be a CEO or a Founder or an Influencer? Who am I to charge for my work? Who will listen? Who will watch? Who will care? What will people think of me?

The truth is you have a mission and a message to share with the world. With the news and media bombarding us with negativity, why wouldn’t we as artists and creatives and visionaries and entrepreneurs want to be bombarding the world with our gifts, our passions, our creativity?

Marianne Williamson says, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?”

Why can’t you start the next cutting edge podcast, blog or write that book? Why can't you be the CEo of a fortune 500 company? Why shouldn't you be the next YouTube or Spotify sensation? 

The good news about imposter syndrome is that you wouldn't feel these feelings if you weren't on the precipice of greatness. If you weren't a high achiever. If you weren't following your dreams. So congratulations! You're about to step into who you are truly meant to be!

In this episode we deep dive into identifying the role the Imposter Syndrome plays in our lives and how to overcome it and gain the confidence we need to pursue our dreams.

This year I blew up my life, left The City of Angels where I had lived for 15 years, sold or gave away all my possessions except what I could fit in my car and my beagle Lily and I HIT THE ROAD.

I spent months in Florida, North Carolina, and now Tennesee. Travelled to Tulum multiple times. Spoke at conferences in New Orleans, Nashville and Costa Rica. Stayed at Air Bnbs and hotels in great cities like Palm Springs, Austin, Dallas, Savannah, and Asheville.

3 Quick Lessons Learned on the Road:

1. Love yourself enough to take your health, wealth, & ultimate destiny into your own hands. Never leave it up to others to determine your worth, your value, or your ability to accomplish your desires.

2. With a laptop, ring light, portable mic, and WiFi you can work remotely from anywhere in the world. You can create impact, influence, and income for yourself, your clients, and the people who you aim to help and serve.

3. If you stand in your power and move forward in confidence, the universe will conspire to meet you to support you.

The #DigitalNomad#EntrepreneurLife has been crazy, sexy, challenging, and rewarding. On the latest episode of The #FoodHealsPodcast, I share how I have navigated this journey, lost everything (more than once 😱) and continued to persevere, rebuild and pivot when necessary. I hope you’ll give it a listen.

To this day I have never had a full time job. I still dont know what I want to be when I grow up but I still believe I can be whatever I want as my passions evolve and I grow and change, I will continue to find avenues of income fueled by my passions. And I believe you can too.

That’s why I created a monthly mastermind for wellness entrepreneurs to build wellness empires.

Which over the past few years has grown into something greater than I ever could have imagined… a freaking online University!

Let’s face it: When it comes to choosing the right beauty products, it can be extremely overwhelming. There are thousands of products out there claiming to make us younger, ageless, and healthier. Plus, then they throw around words like “Natural,” “Organic,” and Chemical-free.” It can be hard to know where to start and what to believe.

 

We want to choose products that work and are good for us, but we know many beauty products are filled with toxins and preservatives that can cause more harm than good! And, on the other hand, some things that we were told were “toxic” may actually be OK!

 

Did you know...

:

  • Synthetic products may not actually always be bad for you? 
  • Sugar consumption may be speeding up your aging process. 
  • Or, that that slimy green stuff (algae) found in the ocean may be the secret to anti-aging from the inside out?
  • And, that you can make the most amazing, natural face mask from things already sitting in your pantry?

 

On today’s mashup episode we are talking all things natural beauty: Beauty brands that work, DIY recipes, myth-busting, and more, to help you learn how to give your beauty routine a green and health-friendly makeover. 

 

We have 4 amazing guests that are going to help you get beautiful from the inside out. 

 

First up, we are talking to Sophie Uliano. She is a best-selling author, a certified nutritionist, and a 20-year veteran in the wellness space (and believe me, she doesn’t look it!) She is here to talk about those magic anti-aging serums and bust some long held beauty myths. 

 

Next, we talk to my go-to beauty guru, Kerri Kasem who has a passion for teaching people how to be ageless and healthy. PLUS she helps us kick that sugar habit for good and start feeling and looking our best. 

 

Then we are diving in deep with Catharine Arnston, Founder And CEO Of ENERGYbits (and her sister brand BEAUTYbits!) Catherine discovered the magical powers of algae and talks to us about its amazing immune-boosting and anti-aging properties.

 

Finally, we are sharing Suzy and I’s favorite DIY beauty recipes for stunning skin and gorgeous gums that will have you checking yourself out in the mirror more than once today!

  • How to use the top four most effective beauty ingredients: L-Ascorbic acid, Retinoids, Fruit Acids, Peptides

Ritual Protein 

Protein powders can feel intimidating ('no pain, no gain'), and their formulas opaque (not just because they're a powder). But the truth is, deep down - as in, cellular level deep - we all need protein, and it's about more than just muscles.

So Ritual's team of scientists (hello, Harvard) reimagined protein from the ground up and inside out, from how it's made to who it's for and why it's needed. The result is a delicious, plant-based protein - offered in three premium formulations for distinct life stages and unique nutrient needs - all made with the same high-standards approach and commitment to traceability that Ritual is known for.

Whether you're doing reps… or more into dog walks! Introducing, Essential Protein - here to shake things up. So, why not shake up your Ritual? To make trying something new less scary, Ritual offers a money-back guarantee if you’re not 100% in love. Plus, my listeners get 10% off during your first 3 months.

Just Thrive Health Probiotics 

Did you know probiotics are for our furry friends too? Introducing Best Dog Probiotic: Just Pets Probiotic: A clinically proven and powerfully effective spore probiotic to help your furry friend feel their best!

 

I sat down with Tina Andersen, Founder of Just Thrive to find out more! 

Unlike other forms of probiotics, Just Pets Probiotic spore probiotics were designed by nature to survive extreme temperatures and stomach acids so they always arrive in the gut alive.

Once they reach the gut microbiome, spore probiotics activate and quickly get to work clearing out bad bacteria and encouraging the growth of new, beneficial bacteria. This rebalancing process can support the optimal health and protection of your dog’s gut, resulting in numerous health and behavioral benefits. 

A clinical study involving healthy dogs and dogs with severe GI issues showed that a unique blend of spore probiotics made a dramatic difference.

Be sure to visit their website www.justhrivehealth.com, use the coupon code foodheals15, get 15% off your first order, and add a spore-based probiotic to your healing and detox routine today.
