So welcome back to the Balance Hormone Solution podcast. I am your host, Tracy Aaron, a registered nurse, integrative health practitioner, and your hormone health BFFI help women 35 plus balance their hormones naturally without prescriptions, band-aids, and definitely we don't do burnout. So in today's episode, I'm gonna flip the mic on myself because while I guide women through their own healing journey every single day this year. I had to take a similar leap, and it was uncomfortable, expensive, but yet absolutely necessary. So let me take you back to the moment that I just realized I could really use some extra help. Not help like, oh, I just need to read another book, or listen to another podcast. But real mentorship, real guidance, someone to hold the vision with me, push me, challenge me, and help me see. What I couldn't see on my own, and that's because I've been doing okay, like my business is running. My clients are definitely thriving, but deep down, I just knew that I kept running into a ceiling or like some dead ends. And I also knew that if I keep trying to piece it together on my own. I am going to find more dead ends. I'm going to stay, let's just call it stuck. So I made a bold move. Now, this is not the first time I have invested in business coaching, and that's why this is considered a bold move, and I have some nerves around it because I have invested in business coaching before with let's just say marginal results. But this time I found somebody who really could see something in me that. Helped me believe in myself, which is what I found I was needing right now. So I ended up investing in a high level business mentorship program. Now it's more money than I have spent on previous mentorships, and that's because this one lasts an entire year. So it's not just a make it through these trainings, you're one and you're done. It is a. Year long commitment to cover so many facets of having your own business and what it takes to grow.'cause guess what? It's not just funnels and email marketing. It's not just Instagram posts and making podcasts. It's not just DMing people or answering people's questions. It's not even just reading lab tests and knowing what it takes to get somebody from point A to point B. It is the inner work that ends up reflecting on the outside and honestly. This big leap scared me because for me it was, what if I do one more thing and it doesn't work? What if I try this? What if I put the money and time and the investment of my energy into something that just doesn't give me the results that I'm looking for? And listen, I hear my clients say this all the time. They're like, I've done all the things. I've tried all the things, and nothing ever works for me. And. Until they follow my four step hormone hierarchy method, maybe nothing did work, but this method does work and women find the road back to themselves and their inner world changes, which reflects on that outer world, and we see a whole new woman standing before us. So that's what I see on a daily basis, and it's just so beautiful. And so my clients have to take that leap where they say. You know what? Nothing else worked, but I am going to try this one and guess what it does. So I took that same leap and stretched myself and my inner world, um, even more, but in the best way, right? Because just like my clients have to say yes to themselves. I also had to say yes to myself'cause I know the balance hormone solution works, right? I've done it myself and I've seen a lot of other women go through it, and so I've got a lot of evidence and proof right in front of me that this stuff works. But. My clients don't know that when they're starting out the program, they have to take that leap of faith. Just like my mentor, she knows that her stuff works'cause she sees it happen every single day. People get amazing results when they work with her throughout the process, right. But for me, and I don't know that it works, I don't have the evidence right in front of me to convince my brain that this is a good thing to do. So I also had to take a leap of faith. So I, if you're, if you're like my clients who are like, I, I, I know I need to do something, I just don't know what, I just want you to know I am in your shoes and I can completely relate to that. So. I just wanna mention a couple things that are a big deal. Why we need to sometimes look outside of ourself and hire mentors. Why we even go for coaching. Can't we figure things out on our own? And sometimes we can, right? There's a whole lot that IDIY in my life. There's a whole lot that I go after and you know, a lot of things turn out well, but not everything, right? So, but. There's three things that I've been thinking of of why sometimes we need to go outside of ourselves and and hire a coach, and that is number one. You can't see your own blind spots If you could see them, we wouldn't call them a blind spot, and this is bigger than just knowing what your weaknesses are. They're literal, blind spots that you are not looking at, that you can't see. Sometimes you need another set of eyes, another brain, another set of hands on your picture to piece together. Whatever is missing, right? Your symptoms aren't random, so like where we get stuck in our life, that's not random either. There are roadmaps there. There are ways out of all of these things, and we just need to find somebody who's done it and who can teach others to do it. Right, and we all have patterns that we can't see without this mirror. So like the coach becomes the mirror, the mentor becomes the mirror. Your health practitioner becomes the mirror for you to show you, here's the environment you're creating and this is why you're having this hormonal experience. If we shift this one little thing or these three little things, look at the different experience you could have. That's what that coaching process looks like for me, and that's definitely what it's gonna look like for me and this mentor. So if you can find the right mentor, the right person for you to walk you through this journey, it ends up reflecting your own power and not your problems. I can't tell you how many health coaches or business coaches I've spoken to who are like, well, you're not doing this and this needs to happen, and A, B, C, here's the exact formula you need to follow, and it just feels transactional. It's not really interesting to me.'cause what I'm looking for is a person who will end up caring about me, who will see me where I am, see the potential in me, and help me get to where I need to go. And maybe with some tough love along the way, right? If I could do it myself, I wouldn't need a coach. But we come to certain times in our lives where we just can't do it ourselves anymore. The other thing I've been thinking about is how, uh, when we invest in something, it's like an activation. It's an activation in this energetic world that we live in. Because money is not just money, it's trust. And it's a commitment. It's an energetic yes to whatever you are giving the money to, right? So when you invest, when you invest your time, but I'm talking about especially with money, you end up showing your brain and your body that this matters to me. Now, unless you're just a billionaire and money means nothing to you, money hurts. Right. Like Dave Ramsey always would say use cash. Why? Because cash hurts when you go to pay$200 for something and that's the last$200 in your wallet. You might think twice when you're just swiping cards. It's really easy to overspend or I don't know, is that just me? Probably not. But um, I see this in my clients, right? Like progress gets accelerated when they have their own skin in the game. Um, this is something I spoke with my clients about just last night, where. When I started the Balanced hormone Solution, I had an all-inclusive price. I had all the supplements, all the tests, everything included. And what I found is that I would order the supplements, I would drop ship them to my clients. They would get a box and they would look at them like, what am I supposed to do with this? And by the time that they were done with the program, there would be some supplements left over after they followed the program, right? And they'd be like, oh, what do I do with this? I didn't complete this. And there was just not. The buy-in. So I ended up taking that price out of the overall balanced hormone solution cost and giving that back to the client so that they could do their own ordering of their supplements, which meant not only did they have to create an account. Order the supplements. Then they had to receive them in the mail, organize them, put them in a supplement box that I gift them in their welcome box. And then they had to take the responsibility of consuming them. And every step along the way, they knew what they were doing. They had that buy-in. Nobody gets to the end of the balance hormone solution anymore and says, what do I do with all these extra supplements? Because they were a part of the ownership from the beginning. So when we have skin in the game and face it, sometimes that's money. Sometimes it's time, but a lot of times it's money. When we pay for something, we mean business. And so, you know what, don't just look at things in terms of what the dollar is or, um, you know, what am I gonna get in exchange for this price? Look at it like. In a energetic exchange of trust when something costs a lot of money, you're saying that that is worth it to me and I trust this process and the person involved here, I trust that that is what I need to get me where I want to go. That's what's happening. It's just paper at the end of the day, right? Uh, the money is not the thing, it's what that money represents. So. The third thing is, is that you actually deserve support that matches your vision. So I have a certain vision for my business. I have income goals, and I have the amount of women that I wanna reach and the amount of women I wanna help through my program, right? Just like you have goals for your own personal life and you want support to match that, if you wanted to lose, you know, 20, 30 pounds, you don't need me just to tell you to eat more protein, although that's true. And if you hire me, I will tell you to eat that. But if you have 20 to 30 pounds to lose, you need support that matches that goal. I'm gonna give you an exact meal plan. I'm gonna tell you exactly how much protein to eat and when I'm gonna tell you how to move your body, how to sleep at night, how to detoxify your liver, and get rid of toxin fat and stress fat, right? You deserve support that matches what your goals are. So you're not gonna do something like climb Mount Everest without a guide. So why would you DIY. A deep transformation that you want. Why would you do something on your own when on your own clearly isn't working? So whether it's business, your health, marriage, motherhood, whatever it is, support is not a luxury. I want you to think of it like a strategy. It allows you to collapse time and get where you need to go faster. So I've realized that the woman that I want to become doesn't go at things alone. I recognize that I need not just community of people who are where I'm at, but people, who are one step ahead of me who can turn around, extend me their arm, and pull me along this journey. And you know what? Neither should you, you should not go and at wherever you're. At right now. You should not take this journey on your own. And if you choose to hire a coach, go, uh, you'll go so much further and faster. Okay? So in your life, I just want you to ask yourself this, this is a time of just reflection. So where in your life are you trying to DIY, something that actually would be better off with support? And then I want you to take one brave step towards getting it. So I don't know if that's applying for the balanced hormone solution, booking a free conversation with me, or just admitting out loud, I don't wanna do this alone anymore. Sometimes that's the first step is just admitting that you would benefit from help. That is some, there's something to be said for that. There is something to be said for when we get to the point where we say, I've come to the end of the road, I wanna bring in. Additional help now. So let me leave you with this. You're not broken. You're just bumping up against the edge of whatever got you here. So to get there to your next level, it's okay to need help to admit that you need help. In fact, I'll challenge you and say that it's actually your best next step. It's wisdom. So if you've been watching from the sidelines, if you're like wondering, is this my time? Is this what I need to be doing? Then let me be your mirror. Let me be that coaching mirror. Here is your permission slip. I. Am your cheerleader in this process, but not just that, I want to be your guide to get you from where you are right now to where you want to be. And I don't just talk about weight, you're gonna lose on your body. I'm talking about shedding everything that doesn't belong, whether that's mental, emotional, or physical. We're whole beings and whatever's going on in the inside is what is being reflected on the outside. So let me help you change your inner world so that your outer world reflects that. It's your time, so let's get after it. I would love to guide you on this journey.
