Are you tired of saying “No” to yourself?

When was the last time you said “No” to yourself? Five minutes ago? Maybe only five seconds ago! 

Most of us are accustomed to saying no to ourselves. So much so that we've stopped knowing what we want to say “Yes” to ourselves about! 

In today’s episode of Uncover and Elevate I’ll share:

1. A personal AHA moment about saying no to myself

2. Where the habit of saying no comes from

3. How to start saying Yes to ourselves! 

You can listen to today’s episode HERE. 

I’d love to hear from you! Hit reply and let me know, the things you’ve been telling yourself no about and what you want to say YES to!! 

Please share this episode on social and tag me! Then I’d love for you to post a 5 Start Review wherever you get your podcasts. It makes such a big difference and will help others find the show. I’ll be incredibly grateful!

Do you have a habit you want to break?

Almost everyone has a habit that they KNOW doesn’t serve them! They want to stop, but they can’t seem to. 

It could be knowing that an extra glass of wine makes it hard to get up in the morning or that talking to your mother about THAT particular topic never ends well! 

You know it’s not working. But you’re still doing it. 

Have no fear! That’s what I’m here for! 

Every client deals with this in one way or another. 

It reminds me that “knowing better” doesn’t always mean we can “do better.” 

It’s why self-awareness ISN’T enough. 

So, what do we do? 

First we have to see what’s behind the habit because our habits get formed for a reason. 

I’ll use the extra glass of wine habit as an example. One of the first questions I would ask the client is, “what does having that extra glass of wine do for you?” 

There’s a reason you go for that extra glass. Maybe it’s soothing at the time. Maybe it helps you numb out or avoid something. Whatever the reason, knowing what it is takes us to a deeper level of being able to break the habit. 

Once we figure out the reasons we can address the true issue. Because the habit of drinking one too many glasses of wine isn’t really the problem. It’s a symptom of the true problem. 

That’s why my clients experience such amazing transformations! Because it’s not really about breaking the habit of an extra glass of wine, it’s about the things, and there are probably several, that get you to drink that extra glass. When we resolve those, the extra glass of wine becomes a habit that’s easy to break. 

What habit do you have that you are ready TO BE DONE WITH? How would your life change if you were able to break the habit? 

Let’s explore it together! 

Book a 15 minute Connection Call with me HERE and we’ll start the exploration. 

You deserve to feel the freedom of truly, deeply breaking that habit. 💜

What is your heart telling you to do?

“Do what your heart tells you to do because you don’t owe anyone your life. Not even me.” The Mother in The Fabelman’s. 

When I heard that line in the movie, The Fabelman’, it stopped me cold. 

Truth. 

You don’t owe anyone your life. 

We are each called to live the life that our heart tells us to live. 

The problem is, most of us are taught at a young age NOT to listen to our heart. We are taught to conform. To do things and make choices that will win us the love and approval of our family and our culture.

“Save me from the desire for love and approval.” Byron Katie.

That’s one of my favorite quotes! 

It is our desire to be loved and approved of by others that takes us away from our truth. We sacrifice our truth, what the heart tells us to do, in order to please someone else. 

2023 is the year of honoring my heart, my truth. 

What about you? 

Can you see where you’ve given up pieces of your heart and your truth to please someone else or to get their love and approval? 

Most of us have. 

The time has come to claim what is yours. Your heart. Your truth. 

There’s nothing more sacred. 

I’m here to help you. You don’t need to do it alone.

What You Do vs. Who You Are: An Interview w Manuela Powell

“Who You Are?” is often answered by, ``I'm a “Professional So and So.”

There is a blurry line between what we do and who we are. 

In today’s world we often have an issue of identity, which leads to several layers of issues or challenges, including confidence and mental clarity in day to day living. 

One of the important concepts that everybody should know is the difference between what you do and who you are. What you do in your life is very results-oriented and will ultimately determine the results that you get. 

On the other hand, who you are is determined by what you think. Tune in to learn about the importance of realizing the distinction between who we are and what we do and how focusing on who you are can ultimately determine your level of success and happiness.

In today’s episode of Liberate Your People Pleaser I’m going to dig deep on this topic with my guest, Manuela Powell. Manuela Powell is a mindset coach and life coach for women who lost part of their identity after motherhood. She helps moms create their ideal life without guilt or apologies.

What you will discover:

- The difference between what you do and who you are.

- The importance of figuring out who you want to be rather than what you want to do.

- How focusing on who you are can ultimately determine your level of success and happiness?

Do you want an upgrade?!

I woke up yesterday morning and thought, “I need to upgrade my office!” 

There wasn’t anything “wrong” with it. 

I live in a small studio apartment so there’s not a lot of space. When I moved in I carved out a small area by the front door and put my desk, printer, office supplies and notebooks there. Much of it was in a neat pile on the floor. Not bad. It certainly met my needs. 

But yesterday I knew… it was time for an upgrade. I decided I needed a bookshelf to put supplies, notebooks, markers, etc. on. I made a run to Target, spent $25 on a bookshelf and Voila! An hour later, even with building the bookshelf, I had an upgraded office! 

I felt like a million bucks. It was a huge improvement for such a small change. 

Life is like that. We can often make a small change that end up having a big impact. 

Where do you need an upgrade in your life? It might be in your physical space, like mine was. Or it might be emotionally, spiritually or in your body. 

We often tell ourselves until we have the time, money or motivation for a big upgrade there’s no point. 

But that’s a lie. 

You can reap huge benefits from a small change. I don’t always say this, but in this case… think small. 

You could: 

• Take 10 minutes looking at a gorgeous flower or something else in nature to rest your mind and feed your soul.

• Clean out that one drawer that makes you crazy. Not an entire closet, just one drawer. 

• Read, listen or watch something inspiring for 5 minutes, three times a day. That’s only 15 minutes, but spread through the day, it will change your day. 

• Change your dish soap to a scent that gives you joy! I love lavender all year, this time of year I like something that smells like fall. I might as well enjoy the smell of the bubbles while I wash the pans! 

There are so many things you can do. Start today. What needs an upgrade in your life and what can you do today to take a small upgraded step? 

Are you craving self-trust?

I have so many clients who are craving self-trust. 

They second-guess themselves.

They are worried about doing the “wrong thing” or making a “mistake.” 

That’s before we started working together! 

One of the benefits of coaching with me is that I teach clients how to tap into their inner-wisdom. 

When we make decisions from our inner-wisdom we are confident. We trust ourselves. We aren’t worried about being perfect, so the concept of making mistakes begins to fade from existence. 

When I coach client’s I’m always using The Solve It Method™ in one way or the other. I don’t announce it to them, I just use the process with them. 

Now I’ve put together a series of podcast episodes to teach you The Solve It Method™ so you can use it on yourself! 

Get The Solve It Method™ Podcast Bundle right HERE, right NOW! 

Because of the magic of the internet, you’ll have it in your hot little hands faster than you can say, “The Solve It Method™!”

Then… tell me all about it! What did you learn? What did you do with your new-found, self-trust? 

This is how we liberate ourselves!

How Life Changes with Boundaries?

Have you ever wondered how your life might really change if you got good at setting boundaries?

Setting boundaries is an important part of establishing one’s identity and is a crucial aspect of mental health and well-being. Our personal boundaries aren’t as obvious as a fence or a giant “no trespassing” sign, they’re more like invisible bubbles.

Even though personal boundaries can be challenging to navigate, setting and communicating them is essential for our health, well-being, and even our safety. Setting boundaries for yourself and honoring the boundaries of others is a cornerstone in living authentically. 

In today’s episode of Liberate Your People Pleaser I’m going to dig deep and answer some  very important question regarding today’ topic:

What are Boundaries? 

Why should you set up your boundaries with Toxic people?

How to Set Better Boundaries with Toxic People?

How to build your own personal and emotional space?

Empowerment and Freedom in 90 Days?

Do you ever think about what your life could be like in 90 days? 

Most of us don’t. We keep going, day after day. Months go by. Years go by. 

One day, we’re struck by the thought, “how did I get here?” Or, “how did so much time pass?”

I am going to invite you to be intentional about the next 90 days.  In 90 days we’ll be entering the holiday season with Thanksgiving right around the corner. 

What would you like to do now so that when November rolls around you’re thinking, “Wow! I didn’t know I could feel this much freedom and empowerment!” As one of my clients said to me recently, “I didn’t know how much every area of my life would improve once I started setting boundaries!” 

For her empowerment and freedom came through setting boundaries. For you, it might be something different… or you might also need the liberation setting boundaries provides. 

Whatever it is, we can begin the process now. That way in November you’ll be entering the holiday season as your “new self.” 

You deserve to experience the most liberated, empowered, confident, grounded, abundant and generous version of yourself. To see how much better everything in your life can be. 

This is my invitation to work with me over the next 90 days. I created a one-on-one coaching package called, It’s Your Turn. Because, damn it, it is!! 

All you need to do is complete this brief form, https://brendaflorida.typeform.com/to/jcuQt1LR 

I’ll reach out to you after that we’ll decide if I am the right coach for you and if now is the right time. 

Space is limited so choose to invest in yourself now. It’s Your Turn. 

Someone wise said….

“If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Nikola Tesla.

The Color of Freedom

It’s a story that doesn’t seem true. But it is. 

In today’s podcast I’ll share how “remembering” my favorite color was the catalyst to my freedom. 

It’s so easy to slide down that slippery slope of pleasing others. Especially when it’s a spouse or other family members. 

I just wanted a good marriage. A happy family. 

Slowly, little by little, I became so lost I didn’t know my favorite color. 

Thankfully, that’s not where the story ends. 

Listen to today’s podcast, The Color of Freedom and hear how I began to liberate myself. 

If I can do it, you can. 

It is my mission and joy to coach others into their liberation. Let me know when you’re ready to explore working together. Shoot me an email with the subject, “I’m ready for freedom.”  We’ll take the next step together. Brenda@BrendaFlorida.com

No, not winning the lottery. Something more precious than money.  

Something that would allow you to let go of something that diminishes you or makes you feel trapped? 

Something that triggers self-criticism and doubt? 

Something that makes you feel like you aren’t good enough in some way. 

We all have them. What’s the question or situation that would liberate you, if you had a solution or answer to it?

Private Message me or tell me about it in the comments. I’ll feature it on a future podcast. And, not to worry, your identity will be kept private. Your question is safe with me.
