Rewrite Your Narrative
Today, my guest is the amazing Stacey Vanthuyn, who I now call "Stacey V."
Stacey helps others "Raise Their Results" using her experience and what she has learned from her own mentors along the way. Stacey's tagline is "Ignite Your Desire, Amplify Your Life."
She and I talk about her four pillars to overcoming limiting beliefs. These pillars are:
1) Vision
2) Vibration
3) Vulnerability
4) Victor versus Victim
These four pillars are so important to break through our barriers. If we continue to play the same song over and over, nothing will change. However, when we add in a new tune, we can embark on a new course.
One of the things that separate those of us doing what we love versus those not is the willingness to take risks. We are taught to do well in school, go to college, and get a job. But what if there is more to life? What if that job doesn't have you operating in your calling? This is when we begin to get uneasy. We don't look forward to going to work. We look forward to the weekends. We try to numb our lives with alcohol, drugs, or [insert toxic habit here]. I have been there and so has Stacey. We begin to just operate. We don't enjoy life. We just do what we have to do in order to get by. We become robots in life. We conform to society because that's what everyone wants us to do. We try to fit in and please everyone. However, we aren't meant for any of that. We have this internal makeup that allows us to be different. We need to be able to operate in those differences or else we become miserable.
The conversation with Stacey is one that I am truly grateful for. I hope the insight in this show (even with the technology hiccups) has the ability to open the eyes of some people out there who want to learn how to begin the journey of amplifying, or reclaiming as I say, their lives. The first step is being open to working with someone who can help you. We have all had to do it. No successful person has become successful without being open to coaching and accountability. If you find someone, let me know. We need to have people around us who help us become aware of some things that may be holding us back. We also have to be willing to be uncomfortable and take risks. This is the pathway to true growth.
