Hey friends, if you just listened 00:00:43.539 --> 00:00:45.539 to my last episode, you know that I had that 00:00:45.539 --> 00:00:48.880 absolute honor of sitting down with my mom. And 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:52.579 wow, that conversation meant everything to me. 00:00:52.939 --> 00:00:55.060 I've been thinking about it a lot since we recorded, 00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:57.460 and there's one theme that just keeps rising 00:00:57.460 --> 00:01:00.590 to the surface, and that is belief. The belief 00:01:00.590 --> 00:01:02.969 she had in me, even before I had it in myself, 00:01:03.289 --> 00:01:06.030 changed absolutely everything. My mom didn't 00:01:06.030 --> 00:01:09.030 just encourage me, she believed in me. And let 00:01:09.030 --> 00:01:11.209 me tell you, there's a difference. Encouragement 00:01:11.209 --> 00:01:14.370 is saying, you're doing great. And belief is 00:01:14.370 --> 00:01:16.790 saying, I already see what you're capable of, 00:01:17.010 --> 00:01:21.159 even when you can't see it yet. She believed 00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:25.200 in my heart, my dreams, my work ethic, my ability 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.920 to connect with people, and when I doubted myself, 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.260 when imposter syndrome has crept in, her voice 00:01:31.260 --> 00:01:33.739 was louder. That kind of belief plants a seed, 00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.099 honestly, and it grows into confidence, into 00:01:36.099 --> 00:01:39.019 courage, into creativity. White Pony Boutique, 00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.459 this podcast, everything I'm doing right now, 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.120 so much of this exists because of that one gift. 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:46.840 Here's what I've realized. When someone believes 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.200 in you deeply, it teaches you to believe in others 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.659 too. and eventually it teaches you how to believe 00:01:51.659 --> 00:01:55.260 in yourself. That's what I want for you, for 00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:57.900 every listener here. Because no matter what stage 00:01:57.900 --> 00:02:00.400 you are in, starting over, stepping out, growing 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.959 something from the ground up, the belief is your 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.260 fuel. And if you didn't grow up with someone 00:02:05.260 --> 00:02:09.060 like my mom, let this episode be that that tells 00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:14.659 you. You are strong, you are needed, you matter, 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.439 and you're exactly where you're meant to be. 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.460 So I want you to leave with two simple but very 00:02:20.460 --> 00:02:23.900 powerful questions. One, who believed in you 00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:27.180 when you needed it the most? Do me a favor, call 00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:31.139 them, thank them, write it down. Let that reminder 00:02:31.139 --> 00:02:34.240 take root again. And number two, who can you 00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:36.979 show up for that right now? Your child, your 00:02:36.979 --> 00:02:41.060 friend, your employee, maybe even yourself? Because 00:02:41.060 --> 00:02:43.719 belief is contagious. And the moment you start 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.039 believing in someone else, you give permission 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.810 to rise. This was just a short solo moment, but 00:02:49.810 --> 00:02:52.169 it felt like it needed to be said. Belief is 00:02:52.169 --> 00:02:55.150 powerful, it is generational, and it's one of 00:02:55.150 --> 00:02:57.189 the greatest gifts we can give, especially to 00:02:57.189 --> 00:02:59.870 ourselves. I'll see you in the next episode, 00:03:00.090 --> 00:03:03.530 but until then wake up, believe in your voice 00:03:03.530 --> 00:03:07.210 and take one bold step forward to the woman you're 00:03:07.210 --> 00:03:10.469 becoming because she's already within you. Thank 00:03:10.469 --> 00:03:12.590 you for listening. If you found this information 00:03:12.590 --> 00:03:15.370 helpful, please share it with a friend.

Let's make today 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.860 and every day an opportunity to level up. Until 00:03:31.860 --> 00:03:35.080 next time, keep dreaming, keep striving, and 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:36.580 keep making a difference.
