Come on this journey with me each.
Week when you join me, we are.
Going to chase down our goals, overcome adversity and set you up for a better tomorrow. Fasten your seatbelts. I'm ready for my close up. Hi, and welcome back. I'm so glad you're back here with me this week. Okay. I have a little bit of a cold. I'm not vibing that. I never get sick. What is going on, people? We are going to be doubling down on vitamin C today, I will tell you that much. Okay. There's so much going on. So much good. I mean, there's some challenges, people. I'm not gonna lie about that. But there's a lot of really good stuff going on. I want to open your eyes to the possibility that is in front of you right now, even if you can't see it yet. I have a huge. It's definitely top three biggest speaking events and opportunities of my entire life. Coming up in the next week. Coming up in the next week. I'm so fired up. I can't wait to tell you. And I'm on lockdown. They won't let me announce it yet. It's a surprise. Okay. So huge, huge, epic. I can't hype this one enough. Okay. Huge, epic announcement coming out this week. Can't wait to tell you. You're going to be so excited. I'm so excited. Of course you're going to be invited. Of course I'm going to get you a free ticket because you're here, you're my ride or die and you're with me. So standby. More to come on that I cannot wait to tell you. I'm super excited, super proud and very grateful for this opportunity.
Okay.
But what's wild is this, is that sometimes I need other people to remind me of the things that I say because I lose track of it. I'm busy. Like, I'm going a million miles an hour and I forget things. And I want to slow you down right now to remind you sometimes something I think that we don't put a lot of value on, which is the words we speak matter. The power of the tongue is massive. This goes back to the Bible, you guys. It's something that is so incredibly powerful. What you believe you shall receive, what you speak will come to fruition. And you need to do it with conviction and you need to do it often. And I was reminded about this when I was watching the Celtics Mavs game last night and the Celtics where Brown was like running around the court saying whatever you do. Do it with confidence. Do it with confidence. You're gonna own this. You've got this. But he was like speaking life into everyone, including himself, right? And you see this with professional athletes all the time. If you ever saw me getting ready for a speech, I do the exact same thing. You know, it was funny. I was just in D.C. last week with Cynthia, who comes with me everywhere I go. And you know, she knows the routine and every. I mean, I do the same ridiculous stuff every, every time we wake up in like, oh my gosh, am I gonna get it together today? Oh my God. Still filled with self doubt, just like anyone, right? I'm always questioning, like, oh my gosh, do I look good enough? Do I have my stuff together enough? Am I gonna kill it today? Am I gonna help the audience? Am I gonna connect? Am I gonna deliver? Right? I always question things. Cause I care, right? And that's important to me. Of course. I always wanna care and do an amazing job for people. But it's so great to have a team with you that knows you. Cause then she's like, oh my gosh, yes. Remember this one? Remember this one? She, she always balances me out when I start doubting anything and reminds me of other times in my career where I felt nervous, I felt scared. And then we ended up crushing it. And it went so well and helped so many people, right? So you need those people in your life. If you do not like the tribe you're running with, you've got to start running with people that are running ahead of you, right? Like get in the room with people who are doing it at another level. Cause that's gonna push you to be better. So then by the time we're in the elevator, I'm speaking life into existence now I'm like, okay. Then we got in the elevator and I saw a picture of Taylor Swift. And if you haven't read my first book, there's a whole chapter about what Taylor Swift did for me. She's incredible human person. I'm such a fan of hers. I love her. She's a great person and a great woman that stands up for other women. And she stood up for me. And so as soon as I saw her picture in the elevator, I was like high fiving her picture because I was so hyped to see her. I'm like, oh my gosh, these are my people. Even though she really wasn't there, it just reminded me like, this girl has my back. Like, there's so many beautiful, magical things in my life. I'M so blessed, so lucky. I'm so grateful. And it just put me in this great headspace. Like, that girl's got my back. Like, what do I have to worry about? Nothing. Thank you. And it just filled me with so much confidence. And I started speaking like the Celtics were like, okay, Kate, you got this. You're going to go down there and crush it. If you impact one person, you did your job today. Make it about them. You don't. Make it about yourself. Make it about giving. Make it about making the world a better place. And I just start getting so fired up. Then I pop my AirPods in. I hit up my playlist of my life, which is, as you all know, Thug Life forever and rocking out to Kanye, Jay Z, Tupac, the whole team. And by the time that happens, my mind is being prepped and primed and it's like a runaway freight train. I'm gonna go crash it, right? So that's kind of like at a high level, what my overview is like. Like getting ready with me in the morning before a big event.

I asked you to try to find your passion. However this was so crazy because I'm in dc. You're not gonna believe this. Maybe you will believe this. Actually, I don't know. To me I just think it's like wow. I'm still in awe of it, right? So I'm in dc. Of course this company had hired me, they found me on LinkedIn. Of course if you're not creating content on LinkedIn on the Daily, where are you?
Right?
If six years ago when I started was the right time, now is the only time. Get going, giddy up and so give yourself opportunity like hold the pen that is dictating and driving and narrating your brand because you're worth it and you deserve it, and you need to be advocating for yourself. So I'm heading out to take this stage. I'm talking to these guys in the green room before I'm going on, and they're talking to me about, you know, who's at the event and, you know, about D.C. and what's happening politically right now in the country and, you know, just, like, super interesting stuff that I'm not always knee deep in the mix on because I live in Miami. Really interesting. I got a chance to speak to a bunch of lobbyists while they were just so cool, like, meeting so many new and different people and hearing about these different arenas and industries that I'm not privy to. Super important, by the way. Get your head out of your bubble. Get your head out of your industry. Meet people in different industries. Expose yourself to new and different information. It's just gonna make you better and see your value and see where else you can apply value in your world. So we're doing that. I take the stage, I killed it. Like, definitely killed. I know. Some days I know. I'm like, oh, my gosh, I crushed that. Other days I'm like, I don't know. Like, how was I? This one I knew. I was like, oh, my gosh. These are my people. Just crushed. It was super good. Okay, I'm getting off the stage. I was on stage for an hour. I was, like, sweating bullets. That's how hard I go in. It's a little insane, right? I think I'm Taylor Swift. Clearly I am not, but okay, I do laugh at myself. So I'm getting off. I'm, like, sweating. I'm so fired up. And people were standing up and high fiving me as I'm. I can see Cynthia's, like, approaching the back now to leave with me, right? Because we need to get out of there and catch a flight. And oftentimes at events like that, people will stop and ask, you know, if they can take a picture with you or can you sign a book or whatever, which, of course I always do. I'm so, so grateful for that. Hello. There's no business if I'm not selling books and selling keynotes, right? I'm not here with you if I don't have that. So of course I do that. But this one woman stops me and says, hey, Heather, I'm Christine. I'm from the White House. And when I heard her say that, I was like, what? The White House Right. Like, what is going on? Totally unexpected. I did a double take, and I look at her. I said, the White House? She said, yeah, from the White House. We'd love to have you. We'd love to have you speak. And it was one of those moments. Oh, my gosh. Like, bucket list. I'm still hyped. And here we are, you know, days later, I'm still so excited about it. It was one of those bucket list moments, okay? So then that transforms into. So I'm in the back with her and I said, listen, I'm giving you my cell phone number. Which I never do. I usually just pass people off to my speaker manager, but I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. This is so epic and important. Like, we are bringing this one in. Let's go. So I give her my cell. I'm like, listen, you can work directly with me. Let's make this happen. While I'm having this conversation with her, this other guy said, same world, same political world approaches next door, and he's like, oh, you're going to have Heather to the White House. I was actually thinking we should have her for the CIA to stop it. Where does this stuff come from?
Right?
So. But my whole point is this. If you don't get into the arena, you don't get the opportunities, right? Like, if I didn't constantly step into the fear, if I didn't take the flight to dc, if I didn't start building my speaking business, whatever it is, seven years ago now, right? If I wasn't showing up on the regular on LinkedIn six or seven years ago, none of this would have happened. So you have to take the small steps. You have to step into the fear on the regular. You have to take the stages that you're like, oh, my gosh, is this stage even worth it? I didn't know six years ago that some of the stages I was going to be taking were going to be opening doors to this. I didn't know, be walking off a stage in D.C. and having someone from the White House standing there waiting for me and someone from the CIA, Right? Like what? I didn't know any of this stuff. But the key is to take the baby steps to show up, to start casting that future vision of what could be right? Because you just literally never know what is possible. And that's the beauty of life. That's why you need to get excited every morning when you get up. One small thing can change everything. One random encounter, one person, right? Like just anything can change everything. And that's so, so, so exciting to me. So, anyhow, all of this is going on. I am so, so excited. Then I find out confirmation on this other huge speaking event, which is happening this week that I can't announce yet, but you will see Alton announce. I'll announce it everywhere. I'm gonna be announcing this on my socials, here on the podcast. I'll be announcing this. You're not gonna be able to escape this one, Right? So, so much good going on. Here's what I find so interesting, though. This weekend, I was back home. I had a big bunch of friends in town. I had a lot going on. Amazing weekend. Such a great weekend, right? This was just, like, all fun, though. No, this wasn't work. Oh, I have this woman that does my hair. And so she had done my hair. The other day when I was heading to dc, she was doing my hair. Cause I was going out this weekend, and this was so cute. I'm telling her, oh, my gosh, listen to my week. This is so epic. I'm so, so hyped. I'm freaking out. And she starts laughing. And she said, you don't remember? I'm like, well, I don't remember.
What?
Now, P.S. i will say this. My memory is selective. We'll put it that way. Oftentimes, I just. I forget about small things, right? And that's not a great thing, but it is a thing. So this is why it's important to have great people in your life that remind you of the things you could be forgetting about. Like, I was. She said, wait, you don't remember A couple of days ago, when I was here, when you were leaving for dc, I'm like, yeah, I remember you were doing my hair, but we had a flight to catch. She said, you don't remember what you said? I said, well, gosh, no. I have no idea. I mean, as you know, I talk a lot. I'm like, I have no idea what I said.
What did I say?
Tell me. She said, heather, you sat right here while I was doing your hair. And you said, well, I mean, I'm going to dc. I might as well just be speaking for the White House. Because, like, what's that next level, now that you're taking stages in D.C. i mean, you might as well go big or go home. I might as well speak for the White House while I'm out there. So I had spoken that into existence the morning before I took the stage in D.C. when that woman from the White House grabbed me when I got off stage. So she Said this to me. She's like, I just want to tell you this. I am not surprised at all that you landed the White House. She said, because you spoke that into existence right in front of me before you left to go board your plane. What mic drop moment. And it just took me back to the Celtics game yet again last night. Whatever you're gonna do, do it with confidence. Speak the life you want to exist in your life into life, right? The power of the tongue is so incredibly powerful. Never underestimate and be so careful of the words that you say. I hear a lot of people. Some people I was with this weekend, you know, speaking some negativity into existence, and I'm like, whoa, we gotta flip the script on that team. Because here's the thing. If we can set ourselves up for success, why wouldn't we, right? Like, I want to speak life into. Oh, my gosh, I'm going to kill it at this event today. Oh, my gosh. I can't imagine what amazing opportunities are going to come out. I'm so hyped to do that next great thing to help that next right person. I can't wait to see who walks into my life tomorrow. It's going to be magic. It's going to be incredible. And the more you embrace and approach life that way, I promise you, the more that will be your life. I am sitting here right now living this like I am looking at it. Last week was D.C. wait until you see what this week is. It's so flipping crazy and so incredible. And no, I'm not shocked, because just like the Celtics, I'm owning it with confidence. I have no idea exactly what that looks like. I'm stepping into fear on the regular, and I choose to see uncertainty as all possibility. When everything is uncertain, anything's possible. And why wouldn't something great happen for you today? Why wouldn't something great happen for me today? It definitely will, right? Let's speak it into existence. Let's own it, feel it. And I promise you that stuff's going to start happening for you, too.
