Favorite takeaways:

1. The only person you actually need permission from is yourself.

2. Being vulnerable is one of the most important tools of resiliency.

3. When you hear somebody else talking about what lights them up, it lights you up in turn. That light spreads- it’s contagious. You will feel their energy and it will inspire you to go do what lights you up. That’s how we light the world on fire in the best possible way- by sharing our passions.

4. Shame thrives in secrecy. It’s the only thing we can’t come to terms with because it’s not real, it’s unhelpful, it’s such an unnecessary emotion- it’s all based in lies. It’s based in the lie that you have to be perfect, that you have to be not you in order to be successful, in order to be accepted, when the actual truth is that you are so beautifully and perfectly human, exactly as you are, and you don’t have to squeeze yourself into that box that doesn’t exist.

5. You need to take care of the person behind the passion. It’s ok to just ground yourself and shower yourself with love. Know that people are there for you, know that it’s ok to tell your story because it gives somebody else the strength and the bravery to tell their own.

6. When we can find appreciation in the contrast we start to grow. It’s never too late to grow. It’s never too late to bloom.

7. Make sure you schedule something in every day for yourself. Make a commitment to you- whatever your favorite form of self care is. Don’t go to bed at night before checking that off in your mind. Make sure you give yourself that time because you won’t regret it.

Join Karaleigh in an interview with the incredible Brooke Jean.

In this episode, we dive in to what it means to be un-perfected, how to embrace the gold in your mess and come home to who you really are.

Brooke Jean, MA, LPC is a Licensed Therapist, Coach, Speaker, and the Host of The Unperfected Pod on a mission to normalize normal. She believes that life isn’t perfect, but it can be unperfected and using a blend of energy work, counseling, coaching, & facilitation, she guides her audience to let go of who they think they are, in order to create the life they’ve been waiting for.

Favorite takeaways:

1. The Unperfected Movement is really just about us shedding the shoulds of conditioning and social priming and remembering who we are underneath all of our roles, our responsibilities, our trauma responses, our good-girl syndrome, our people pleasing- all the masks that we wear that we develop to fit in. It’s about letting it all go, showing up messy, embracing the gold in your mess, and finding freedom in the messy so that you can create from an authentic place.

2. When you shut down the feelings of anger or rage- whatever we’ve been conditioned is shameful- when you shut that down, you also shut down the capacity for joy. You can’t shut off some feelings. If you’re gonna shut off the rage, you’re gonna shut off the joy. If you’re gonna shut off the anger, you’re gonna shut off the passion. As humans, we’re designed to have a full spectrum of emotions.

3. Protect the precious jewels: time, energy, and sanity. We are not an endless supply, yet we are just bleeding out time, energy, and sanity all day every day and then wondering why we lose our crap at the end of the night with our families. Go through a real inventory of what is stealing and draining your energy that you need to clean up.

4. Your first no is painful, your second no feels a little better, by your tenth no you are liberated! Your like, what else can I say no to, this feels amazing! And the world doesn’t fall apart when we choose to live in alignment with who we are- actually things just start to get really good when we come from that place.

5. Here’s where the tough love comes in: Stop getting in your own way. Stop making excuses. You are the one telling yourself that you can’t because… fill in societal expectation and standard. And while that’s a real thing, we also get to choose. One of our most potent tools in our tool belt is our choice point, our power of choice.

6. For so many women, we are not going for the thing that lights our soul on fire because we are telling ourselves a lie that we can’t or we shouldn’t or we don’t deserve it and that’s where you need to step aside and do the work to rewire all that, because your soul wants bigger for you.

7. Follow the joy. Follow the things that remind you of who you were when you were little. What did you freaking LOVE to do? Who were you? What made you feel the most alive?

Join Karaleigh in an interview with the visionary deJoly LaBrier.

In this episode we discuss authenticity, learning to not care what other people think, and having the vision to create.

Dejoly LaBrier is an author, life and writing coach, speaker and artist. She was born in California, has lived in several different states, and finally settled in the woods of Northeast Alabama. Having recovered from the extreme trauma of childhood, she decided to use some of the wisdom she'd gained to help women do their own recovery work. Five years ago she became a life coach to guide women to heal from their traumas and embrace life with vitality, creating the life they desire. For 20 years she has spoken about this healing process nationally, and inspired others to do the work of healing through art, writing and a full palette of modalities. Today she has 4 published books, and writes personal development articles for the local newspapers. In addition to offering writing workshops and coaching, she’d also an avid gardener, and practices yoga and meditation.

Favorite takeaways:

1. Faith IS vision. Faith is having that greater perspective. Faith is borrowing God’s vision for our life. It’s so powerful.

2. Failure is just another step in the process, and who’s measuring failure anyway? I don’t. I say we progress, and there are lots of things that are gonna happen. We can assign it some sort of negativity- we can assign it failure- or we can say, oh, there’s a blip. We can decide to pivot.

3. We decide what we’re capable of- we are in charge of our own potential, and our potential is limitless. It doesn’t matter what limits society perceives you have, your capacity for growth is completely limitless.

4. It’s actually really important to stop and just be. Your value is not increasing the faster you go.

5. We move at our own pace and I think we have to honor that pace. We can’t be judgemental about our pace. We do it in our own time. What can be so important that you have to do it right now? Go smell the roses.

6. There’s so much value in slowing down and soaking up the moment.

7. HALT: Never make a decision when you’re hungry, angry, lonely, or tired.

Today is a solo episode all about being triggered, the lessons of motherhood, and the ABC's of being selfish. Favorite takeaways: 1. Here’s the amazing thing: When you let yourself feel your anger, it starts to dissipate. The initial reaction can either fuel a bigger, badder secondary reaction or you can let it work itself out on its own. If you give it the attention that it’s calling for in the first place, it will dissipate in a minute or two. If you just validate your own emotions and your own thoughts, they will start to dissipate. 2. I hope you’ve had the experience of somebody telling you that you are justified in feeling angry over something and feeling your shoulders relax- of feeling your body un-tense. When somebody tells you you’re right. Because it’s magical to feel that. It’s truly magical. So tell yourself you’re right. You don’t need someone else to do it for you- you can do that all by yourself. You can validate your own emotions. 3. Knowing yourself is absolutely essential. Knowing how you react to the triggers around you is essential as well as what helps with those triggers. 4. What are your needs? The more that you understand your needs and you prioritize those, your gonna be a better human being for your kids, for your family, for everyone around you because you won’t be showing up bitter, you’ll be showing up as patient, loving, and fun. 5. The more you prioritize your own self care, your own mental health, your own needs, you really do show up better. Your energy is better, you’re just a better human being for everyone you want to be around. Don’t you want to show up as the best version of yourself? 6. The awareness piece is so key and without it, none of the rest can happen. Give yourself so much grace and so much permission to cheer yourself on if you even look back on your behavior and you are aware. Because even looking back on your reactions is a huge step. 7. Awareness is absolutely amazing. You can’t fix something you’re not aware of.

Join Karaleigh in an interview with the unstoppable Jen Underwood.

In this episode we talk about living the life you were meant to live, waking up to our actual lives, and learning to pursue our dreams.

Jen Underwood has spent 20+ years working in a basement hiding her true gifts and passions from the world.  It wasn’t until the last couple of years when she was writing a book to her son for his 18th birthday that she realized she wasn’t living a life of passion and purpose.  She set about to change that by starting a podcast called Shake Me Awake to share her journey of finally WAKING UP to her true potential.  She wants to take others on this journey with her. She is working on her coaching certificate to become a certified life coach, and a digital course on crafting a written legacy for your children.  Jen works full time, has two teenagers and a pug and way too many hobbies.  She loves thrifting, sewing, reading, writing, watching the same movies over and over, making lists, journaling, manifesting, buying office supplies, and coming up with new ideas for businesses she’ll never have the time to start. 

Favorite takeaways:

1. When you feel like no one is listening, when you feel like no one is watching, just wait. Because they are, they just aren’t announcing their presence yet. You have a bigger impact than you think you’re having.

2. We need to hear those same truths over, and over, and over, and over again. We need them pounded into our head: You can do it. It’s possible for you. Those dreams that you have in the back of your mind that you don’t think could ever possibly work- guess what. They can. You can have everything that you’ve ever wanted. It’s possible for you too. You are worthy too.

3. It takes inner work, but it also takes outer work. Community is so important, because if you’re operating in a vacuum and trying to create this new dream for yourself, you will get lost, you will spin out and you will spin down to I can’t do it, this is too stressful, I don’t believe in myself. But if you surround yourself with a community of people that are doing similar things, that are walking similar paths, like working on themselves and focusing on their future, those people will guide you and pick you up. When you’re in the deepest darkest, those are the people who shine the light.

4. You gotta wake up. You have to wake up and start living a life where you’re not shutting out the majority of you, and start living a true life, start living in your true spirit.

5. What am I doing with my life? What if I found out that I only had a year to live- how would I live my life differently? I have been sleepwalking through my life. It feels like I have been shaken awake by this experience that I went through and I can’t go back to sleep.

6. It’s time for us to wake up to what our actual dreams are for our lives. What do we want to do and who do we want to be? Stop sleepwalking through life. We are going to reach this point where we’re like, what happened? What happened to my life? Where did it go? It’s time to start living the life we want to live, like now. Like today.

7. Go where the energy leads you and you’ll never go wrong.

Join Karaleigh in an interview with the amazingly wise Carolyn Blosil.

In this episode, we talk about expanding what we’re capable of, allowing ourselves to feel safe, and learning to feel financially confident.

Carolyn Blosil is a financial educator and retirement advisor and entrepreneur. She is a mom of 8 and also grandma to six adorable grandkids. She is always learning so that she can be a better mentor for her family and share with others how to play the game of money and win. In other words, everything she wishes she would have known decades earlier!

Favorite takeaways:

1. And he said, You are where you are in life because that’s the level of what you know. That sentence woke me up to the fact that I’d still be like this ten years from now because what I knew wasn’t enough to change what was happening around me.

2. We can only rise to the level that we believe we are capable of. That’s why it’s so incredibly important to surround yourself with people who have a greater vision.

3. We often times only see one solution. As soon as we see that there could be a second solution, not only do we start considering it, but now this whole world starts opening, and we’re expanded to options that we never even knew existed before.

4. We have to be willing to consider that there is more to learn than we currently know. The first person you talk to may not have all the answers, but they give you part of what you need to know to go to the next level, so that you keep increasing your level of understanding. Believe that you can learn and that it will become possible for you to understand it.

5. We can’t hate ourselves into somebody that we love. We need to love all iterations of ourselves.

6. We always have to look at the past and then look at our present- that we’ve been safe in the past, even when we thought we weren’t safe. Overall, in the big scheme of things, we’ve been provided for. We have to trust that it’s also going to happen in the future.

7. We grow at the speed of safety. The more that we can calm our nervous system and allow ourselves to be safe, the more we grow.
