Hi, my love. Welcome back to the Pia Rose podcast. I'm so fucking happy that you're here with me. Listen, life is such a wild journey, and it is so important for us to find spaces where we feel at home, where we feel like we can take a deep breath, where we feel like we're just a part of something bigger, and also that just reminds us how capable and magnificent we are. And I need this every single day. I really have to remind myself that if I'm feeling like crap, or my mind is spinning, or you know, there's some real, real shit going on in my life. I have to remind myself, um, either do it myself, find some spark of inspiration, listen to a podcast or a video, or you know, go outside and just really take those moments to reconnect. And what I wanted to do today was I wanted to make something that you could listen to over and over and over again if you need to. I want you to come back to this when you are absolutely done playing small, when you are so ready to re-enter, remember, do something different, make a big scary change in your life. I want you to have something here that can be in your back pocket to remind you how absolutely incredible you are and powerful and strong and smart and beautiful. And I know it's like, oh yeah, she can just say that and she doesn't know me. I I I may not know you personally, but I don't need to because we are all in this journey together. And my heart sees your heart, and we feel it. We're all one, we're all in this collective wild journey together. And so I need you to remember how fucking capable you are. And when you reach the point, which we reach it so many times in our life, the like, I'm done, I can't do this anymore moment, which then we should switch to I can absolutely change this, I'm going to change this, I have the power and the ability to do something different, or to just really like go for my dreams, you know, really take it into account that this is my one life. And setting aside the ego, and if you're new here, I'd love for you to listen to some of my old stuff, but I want you to know that like the ego is definitely allowed on the journey. She's an inevitable part of the ride, but she doesn't get to make the decision. So when you're in this state of like, you know, I'm done and and and I'm ready to make a change or I want to go for my dreams, sometimes we have to let the dust of the ego settle a little bit so that we can find the truth underneath because there can be an instant bounce back, right? You're going through something hard or you like can't pay your bills and it's super stressful. So in that moment, you make this decision to like start this business and go hog wild for one single day, and then the next day you don't have the same amount of energy because you've just wasted it all on this like scarcity stress version of you that created this. So I just want you to know that like the ego, while she has a place in this world and that's a beautiful part of our individuality and and our playfulness and and you know our sassiness that can hold the space in this life. But I want you, as you're making these decisions, reminding yourself of your power and when you're absolutely done playing small, that we just also need to take let the ego take a little bit of a back seat here. You can say, you're allowed to be on this journey with me, you're allowed to be on this ride, you can be in the passenger seat, but I'm driving. And that soul version of you is driving. And if you feel right now, if you feel a little unsettled, a little chaotic, a little bit like there's you know, kind of that like wild mayhemy voice taking over, then I would say take in it a moment and an indication to take a deep breath, settle back in, find your center and your spirit, and the bigger part of you, the bigger part of you of why you're doing this. And for the most part, in our life, when we're done playing small, again, happening again and again, over and over again, it's not the fact that we need to do more. It's the fact that we need to believe more. It's the fact that we need to take track and stock of what we've actually achieved and overcome in our life. And I guarantee you've done things that you had no idea how you got through it, how you did it, how you created it, you know, and you're in this space of your life where it's like, I'm ready to shine again. I want you to take a moment, I want you to write down all the things that you're proud of, all the things that you've overcome, all the things that you've created, just to remind yourself how incredible and capable you really are. And then I also want you to see what you can hand back over to God universe, because in these phases of saying, I'm done playing small, we make these huge to-do lists of the things you want to create, the things you want to fix, the schedules, the time blocking, the new diets, the new habits, the everything, right? And it can feel really overwhelming. So I want you to simplify and I want you to say, okay, what I'm gonna hand over to God is let's say the how. I'm gonna hand over to God the how, how the money is gonna come in, how the success is gonna come in, how the peace is gonna come in, and what I'm gonna take responsibility for is me and my joy and my energy and what excites me. Let's use, for an example, you're writing a book, or you want to talk, do talks, or you let's use those. So your job isn't the how, it's the creating. You need to create and and make time to create. Pour your heart into this book, pour your heart into the way that you speak and the way that you're writing your talks and the way that you're connecting with people, and the how will figure itself out. So don't confuse the two. Don't confuse that you need to have this whole entire thing figured out. You need to focus on what the coal, the core goal is that you are desiring to have. And maybe it is feeling more at peace. Okay, so if that is really where you're like, I'm done playing small, I want to feel more peace, I want to feel more freedom, I want to stop people pleasing, right? I want to want that version of me to just take a back seat, then I need you to do more things that make you feel at peace. Spend more time by the water in the forest with your children, more spaces that make you feel at peace and do it as often as humanly possible. And it might seem so small and mundane sometimes, but I promise you, the more that you do those little actions, taking time to write, taking time to feel peace, taking time to nourish yourself, it makes all the difference. And then I also just want you to maybe go create a badass playlist and go take a drive and remind yourself of this magic, magnificent version of you that is ready to be seen. Any parts of you that feel scared of being seen right now, and it might not even be this outwardly quote-unquote goal that you're having right now of like done playing small. It doesn't mean that necessarily you want to stand on stages or you want to be famous. It just might mean that you're done playing small in your life. You're done hiding in your house all the time. Maybe you want to go out to coffee shops more, maybe you want to reconnect with old friends, maybe you want to um find new classes and just get yourself out in ways that feel really alive and aligned for you. But maybe there's parts of you that uh have been scared to be out in the world and to be seen. And that's where I want you to cultivate a little bit more self-love and confidence. And I'm here to remind you that every single one of us suffers from this. Every single one of us is self-conscious, every single one of us has these quote unquote issues that we have to work through. And but I promise you, when you do the scary things, it's not only good for your soul, it's good for your brain, it's good for your body, it's good for the way that you age. Like there's actually cognitive benefits to you doing the hard things. And I want you to again let the ego and that fear-based voice just take a side seat. It doesn't, it can come along for the ride. She's allowed to be there, but she doesn't get to make the decisions. So I want you to just take a deep breath and say, I choose differently today. I choose to tell a different story. I choose to tell a story of my power and my magic and the possibility. Okay. And I can guarantee if you're done playing small and you're ready to create something new, then you also need to open your eyes to the curiosity and wonder that exists all around you because it's right here. And what a beautiful time to be alive, where everything is so possible, where we're on this precipice of great change, and you deserve to have every single thing you want from your heart. From your heart. You get to experience love and overflow so that you're not the more that we're in scarcity, the more that we're in fear, and the more that we, you know, suffocate our creativity and our authentic selves. I mean, to be honest, to me, that's like a huge part of the world's problem is that so much of us are just fucking suffocated. And the paradigms and the systems at play are here to suffocate us, to keep us small, and to keep us a part of the system. And so the way that we can really break these systems is to be authentic, is to grow, is to do things differently, is to play big, is to make these bold, wild decisions that are so crazy to other people, but feel so exciting to me and to you. And what a beautiful, beautiful opportunity you have in front of you. And I want you to do this calmly. I want you to do this groundedly. I want you to do this with pace and not in a need for any type of rush or expectations. I want you to move with the conviction that it's all already here. You already have it, you already are it. So there's no need to rush, there's no need to be frantic, there's no need to say, I gotta create this book and this course and this speak and run over there and get this job and get this relationship because blah, I need it now. No, it's all already here. It will be ever unfolding. But if you are done playing small, then that means you need to stand the fuck up and claim it to yourself right now. I am done playing small. I'm here to create. I'm here to live a life that is so beautifully aligned to me. I am here to be a happier person for myself and my community and my children. Like, it's almost wildly selfish to just stay in this small, little, sad victim-y space. No one wants to hang out with us when we're like that. Your kids only see you as someone that's self-sacrificed and didn't go for their dreams, and then inevitably we become resentful, and everyone just becomes resentful. You know, your partnerships, your la-da-da. And it is when we don't let ourselves shine, when we don't let ourselves really experience life wholeheartedly the way that we want to, it's so fucking detrimental in more ways than you can even imagine. Health, stress, and experiences. So I want you to just set all that bullshit aside because life is just a game and it's a crazy wild game where you get to make the choice. I want you to make the choice today to say, I choose to be happy, I choose to experience my emotions. I don't have to be happy 24-7, but I choose to experience my emotions and not make them good or bad. And I choose to play big. I choose to see myself. I choose to let my authentic self shine. I choose to be here now in the present. I choose to set my ego in the passenger side and not let her drive anymore because she's erratic and chaotic and you know, she takes all the wrong turns. And so I want you to just today to claim it. That's number one. Just claim it that I'm here and I'm taking up space in my own goddamn life. And if I swear to God, if you hand that over to God universe, that I'm here to take up space now, I'm gonna let you figure out the how, but I'm gonna follow what excites me. I'm gonna create from my heart, and I'm gonna make space for my creations no matter what the hell I have to do. Believe me, I know it's hard sometimes, but especially if you're a parent, you have to get scrappy, you have to stay up late, you have to, you know, take it where you can get it, even if it's only a few minutes, or trade with another mom friend, or you know, for time. Like you just need to figure it the fuck out. Because it is what it is. And you are here to shine. And I really, really know that this landed in your lap today for a reason, okay? And I know you can listen to this at any point, but this is the day of the what are we in? It's February 17th, right? So, while I haven't been deep diving into all the astrological changes, but we are entering the year of the horse now. So stomp your feet, jump, get a little crazy, scream it from the rooftops that you're here to be seen. You're no longer playing small, and you're gonna tell the story of love and life and not victimhood and death and sadness. Watch your words, find your power and do everything within your ability to harness it. You got this. And share this with someone else that you think could really use it. You know, we're just a small little family unit here, and I am really, really committed to the vision of this podcast and eventually my talks and the book that I'm writing. And I just want you guys to know that like every listen means the world, every share means the world, every review means the world, and it's such a crazy chapter of my life where I had such wild success, and now I've had to rebuild it from the ground up again. And so in in a more authentic and truthful way. So I just want you to know that like every interaction is genuinely helpful and means so much. So thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I love you so much for being here and for listening, and I hope that this served you. And I will see you very, very, very soon.
