When Life Gives You Lemons...You Make Lemonade!

Welcome to A New Life podcast with Pamela Jean, where it's all about empowering women to empower more women. Get ready friends, to create a new life. And here is your host, Pamela Jean.

Hello my friends and welcome to this week's episode of A New Life podcast. My topic today is when life gives you lemons, your you make lemonade. Yes you do. A friend of mine messaged me on Facebook the other day and said, hey, when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, but you add some tequila as well as salt on the rim. So she obviously was talking about just have yourself a margarita. You know, we've all been there. You know that feeling when nothing is going right? It seems like everything you touch blows up. You have all of these great intentions and great ideas, but nothing goes right. And it's beyond frustrating. I feel like the entire world has been sucker punched with the pandemic. What we all thought was a couple of months thing has turned into a way of life. It's constant. I think it's safe to say that many people are feeling the effects of COVID fatigue. This is a real thing. People who do not typically deal with depression are now dealing with depression. Anxiety is rampant. Gosh, if I could remind you of anything today. Please be kind to yourself and practice that self care that is going to help. Well, recently I made the decision to shift the Flourish Women's Leadership Summit from an in person event to a virtual event. A very painful decision. I'm not going to lie. There were a lot of tears, there were a lot of heartache that went involved. But I feel the decision was the right decision. As hard as it was. I stand by that choice and I really don't have any regrets. But during the times when we are getting rained on by lemons, how we respond creates the best results. The lemonade, if you will. I could have wallowed in my tears. I could have had a lot of self doubt, let that narrative creep in. I could have let everything eat me up and succumb to the defeat. But my choice was different. And your choice can be different too with the things that you're dealing with right now. Your choice can be different. Your mindset really, really makes a difference. What I decided to do is I pivoted, planned and responded. The silver lining in all of this potentially is that more women can be reached, more women will be able to attend and that will result in more women's lives impacted and wow. That truly is my mission. That is what I am on the earth to do. My life's mission statement is this to empower women. To empower more women. I don't take that lightly. I know I have experienced the good, the bad and the ugly in my life for a reason. There is a purpose in it. All my past experiences have prepared me to prepare you to make the necessary changes and improvements in your life so you too can live your very best life. Imagine waking up every single day with peace in your heart. The toxic voices are silent. You live each day to serve the world with the gifts that you have been given to inspire and empower everyone that you meet. My friends, that is a beautiful thing. Let's make some lemonade out of those bad times. And that is exactly what will happen during the Flourish Women's Leadership Summit Oct. 3. From 1pm to 5pm I will be teaching three segments. The first segment will be on the topic of finding your purpose. Your great commission if you will. What are you meant to do digging through that stack of why me? Moments in your life and seeking your path forward. Many women feel stuck stuck in a toxic relationship, stuck in a dead end job, stuck in guilt and shame, stuck in motherhood. Simply stuck together. My friends, we are going to get you unstuck and I will teach you how to establish healthy boundaries, identifying if you are codependent and what to do about it. Also, I will teach you how to dream about your future Again. When was the last time you dreamt for yourself? I know for many of you it's been a long, long time. My second segment is going to be for my business owners and entrepreneurs. During my business breakdown I will talk about 10 different 10 different things every business owner needs to know. If you are a business owner or aspire to start a business you will not want to miss this. This is going to speak to sales, marketing, profitability, all things business during the business breakdown and lastly I will coach on surviving and then thriving after a narcissistic relationship. We all have had toxic relationships with a spouse, boyfri or even a family member. The after effects can be so damaging. I will teach you a way to move past the narcissist, love yourself through it, thrive and ultimately get you on the road to living your best life. This, my friends is when you get to Flourish. I seriously cannot wait for this event and I cannot wait to impact this incredible group of women in this community. During the Flourish Summit. You will also hear from Lori Grim Griffin. Lori is a business owner, entrepreneur and health coach who has taken charge of her health and has lost over 75 pounds and she started this insane business during the pandemic. I can't even get over what she's accomplished during such a trying time. She will show you her way and teach you her method. She also has an amazing meal plan. It is incredible. I cannot wait for you to hear from Lori. Another person you're going to experience is Ryan Blair Smith. Ryan is an international empowerment speaker, best selling author and accountability coach and I am telling you she is on fire. I heard Ryan speak about four to five years ago and I can still remember how I felt after hearing her message. Her her book is a must have and you will be impacted and empowered by Ryan.
