BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! (And Some Reflections On How Far I've Come)

You guys, anything you want can be a reality.

It just literally takes making a true decision, burning the boats, putting a stake in the ground and saying, I'm doing it. Win or fail, I'm just going for it. Be the person, be the girl who decided to go for it. Hey, everyone, welcome back to the show. It's time for another quickie because there's always time to fit an inspiration. And I have a massive announcement about this podcast. I don't know if you all know what a podcast network is, but I have been playing with the idea of joining one for, I believe, about three or four years now. And the first time I had had started to look into a podcast network, it was in la. And I actually went and visited the network to learn all about it. And while I thought it was absolutely amazing because how you get to collaborate with other podcasters and you get some different outside support, there were also so many things that typically come with podcast networks that made me feel like I wouldn't really get to keep my show the way that I loved to keep my show. Maybe I wouldn't always have say over every single guest that came on or what types of things that I was advertising. And so that always just made me feel a little bit like I didn't want to lose that control because that's really what meant the most to me, is that I'm able, able to give you exactly what I feel you are telling me that you want and also really align with different people who are coming on the show, not to mention the different podcasts that you're on there with, along with the things that I get to share that I authentically use in my everyday life or have tried and love. And so I have gotten invited to join Growth Day Podcast Network. And if you don't know what Growth Day is, it is the podcast network that Brendon Bouchard has put together. And Brendon Bouchard, if you don't know who that is, you guys, seriously, he's one of the most amazing entrepreneurs and especially in the space of personal development and books. And he is also just an incredible business person and investor in so many huge companies that you probably use and love, love to this day if you are in the entrepreneurship world. And I have to tell you that my journey with him actually started way back in 2011. I read his book along with my husband Chris. We read his book Millionaire messenger, and it changed our lives. It was one of the first books that actually got us to understand how to package and put online our knowledge our business and to start an online membership. So there were a few different people that we really modeled our idea afterward. But Brennan Bouchard's book was the book that got us to truly understand how to do it and how to package that information.

Hey guys. I have been sleeping so much better lately and I don't know if you've been following along on social at all, but Chris and I have been not only bouncing around from different that we are living in right now, but also we are doing a lot of traveling. I have a lot of speaking coming up and I can tell you that having Soul CBD is my go to sleeping gummy. I am obsessed, you guys. And also I don't really love that there are so many different products on the market that you can choose from because how are you supposed to even know what is good out there? They're truly popping up everywhere. And I'll tell you that soul stuff.

CBD is triple lab tested. They do this to all of their.

Products and they're 100 organic and they're.

Farmed here in the US they're gluten.

Free and they're the highest grade and quality. CBD products help to calm and recalibrate your central nervous system. The dream capsules, as I've mentioned earlier in some of my stories, are my favorite. But I also really love the sleepy gummies. I have those delivered monthly and we also have bananas on their CBD pet products.

Pretty cool.

You should definitely check them out and.

So when I got to meet him in person quite a few years ago, I was literally like having a moment because without his book I'm sure we would have found some way and of course someone would have come along later, but he was the one who lit a fire under our ass. And that book gives you this step by step on really how to package that information that you have to give to the world. So he changed our life and here we are. Now if you're thinking of the long game, like this is why this is so important. You never know who is going to come back into your life. You never know who you're going to be working with. That's why the long game in relationship building and keeping up with different people and making sure you're always, always expressing different gratitudes for different things that they have done in your life, but you never, ever know who's going to come back into your life. So I wanted to take a minute to just celebrate with you guys and let you know that this is going to be hugely impactful also for the show and getting incredible people on and sharing other podcasts that if you love this podcast, I'm going to share a lot of other podcasts with you that also are going to just add so much value that you guys can add into your rotation. And I'm just so thrilled to bring on some other products, some other things that we're gonna be able to give you amazing deals on, amazing discounts on. I'm also going to be teaching on the Growth Day app every single month live, so I'll be sharing details about that, but I'm not doing that anywhere else. So if you wanna come on, you're going to get full details on how to do that through this podcast. So once a month for about 45 minutes, I'm gonna go teach something into there that has change that I want to give to you. So, you guys, you just never know what is going to happen in your life and how it's going to happen. This came out of the blue for me, and it just so happens to be so aligned with exactly what I would absolutely dream of for a podcast network. And I have to share with you. When I was talking to Brendan, when he invited me on the show or on the network, he had said, you know, this is not your typical podcast network because I am a podcaster, so I know that for my show, I didn't want to let go of X, Y and Z. I didn't want to let go of control in this area or that area. I wanted to create something where podcasters really felt like they had a home, where they had allies, where they felt like they could really grow and yet still be able to have full run of their show. Because he said exactly how I feel. He said, the hosts of the podcast are the ones who know best. Like, they know their audience best. They know what's best for the audience. They know what their audience wants. They're seeing all of the feedback and all of the data. So we know how to best grow our show. But at the same time, it's so great to be able to do that with other people. So no matter where you're at in your journey, your podcast journey, your entrepreneurship journey, look how cool it is that he, out of the blue, decides to create a podcast network built off of the core values and the ideas of what he wants for himself.

So he built us off of an.

Actual need of what he wanted. Like, wouldn't it be cool if this existed and we could all help each other and the structure was set up so that we could all really grow and grow our shows, but keep it super authentic to ourselves. Like, think of something right now in your life of a Wouldn't it be cool if this existed? And why not see if you can create it? Why not take the first step to create it? Why not go collaborate with the person that you think would want the same exact thing too and say, wouldn't it be cool if we took the leap and built this? Wouldn't it be cool if we took the leap and made this or created this room or this product or this network or this media company? You guys, anything you want can be a reality. It just literally takes making a true decision, burning the boats, putting a stake in the ground and saying, I'm doing it. Win or fail, I'm just going for it. Be the person, be the girl who decided to go for it.
