"Have you ever been told not to be a quitter? That mentality kept me stuck in things that no longer served me for way too long. It used to be so hard for me to let go, to the point where I stayed in a soul-sucking corporate career for 20 years, a dysfunctional marriage for 12, and even kept going to a dentist I didn’t like for two years. Why was it so hard to walk away? I finally realized it was because I was more worried about what others would think than about how I truly felt.

In today’s episode, I’ll be sharing my most recent experience with quitting – and why it felt so liberating. I joined a networking group that seemed perfect on the surface, but soon realized it wasn’t right for me. This time, I didn’t hold on out of fear of being labeled a 'quitter.' Instead, I checked in with how I felt and what truly mattered to me, and I made the decision to walk away.

Key Takeaways for you:

1. Connect with Yourself First – Take a moment to tune into how you truly feel about your situation physically, emotionally, and mentally.

2. Clarify What Truly Matters to You – Understand your values and priorities; they’ll guide you in deciding what’s worth your time and energy.

3. Let Go of 'What Will They Think?' – Shift the focus from external opinions to what truly aligns with your goals and inner peace.

4. Trust Your Decision – If a choice brings you relief and clarity, it’s a sign you’re on the right path.

5. This is a Practice - This process of reprogramming and building your Grounded Confidence takes practice and repetition.

6. Be Kind to Yourself - when things get hard, but don't give up.

This episode is for you if you're on the fence about something. Listen in, and let’s explore what it truly means to quit with confidence."

Episode 8 - What's Your Gremlin Message?
Episode 9 - Transform Your Gremlin

In this episode, I share a breakthrough that started with what I thought was a money mindset issue. But through coaching, I realized it was actually my Gremlin—the belief that “I’m not successful”—driving my doubts around money. Shifting to “I’m already successful” created a major change in my confidence in how I take action in my business.

If you feel stuck,
If you struggle with self-doubt,
If you notice the gap between what you want to do vs. what you are actually doing,

Then, work on your Gremlin. It can change everything.

Don’t let your self-doubt, insecurity, and fear hold you back any longer; take this step toward building your grounded confidence and becoming unstoppable in achieving your goals.

Please listen to Part 1 of the Gremlin work - 8: What's Your Gremlin Message?

In this episode, we’ll continue diving into the Gremlin work— transforming the limiting belief that "I’m not good enough" into an empowering truth that "I am good enough." This method is broken down into five transformative steps:

1. Acknowledging: Identify your Gremlin—the limiting belief that holds you back. By bringing this hidden message to light, you begin to strip away its power over you.
2. Integrating: Understand that your Gremlin once served a purpose, protecting you from hurt or failure. But now, it’s outdated and no longer fits who you are today.
3. Releasing: Let go of the old belief and give your Gremlin a new job. Instead of limiting you, it can now encourage and support your growth.
4. Shifting to an Empowering Belief: Replace the false message with the truth—“I am enough”—and find real-life evidence that supports your new belief.
5. Taking Aligned Actions: Reinforce your new belief by acting on it. Each small step aligned with your new truth strengthens your confidence and rewires your mindset.

The script to say to Gremlin:
“I thank you, honor you, and embrace you.. And you are not needed to hold me back from your goal..."

"Since I no longer need you to protect me from….., I would like you to, instead, use your energy to do Gremlin’s new job."

Imagine your gremlin saying back to you, “ I’d love to. I’m only here to help.”
