episode #69 Power soul with Brandie Barclay

Listen to "Power Project Episode #69: Power Soul with Brandie Barclay" on Spreaker.

Power Soul with Brandie Barclay

In Episode #69, I sit down with visionary and entrepreneur, Brandie Barclay. Brandie is a fellow purpose driven female in the beauty industry where she has been a licensed aesthetician for 19 years.

Brandie and I find that we have many similarities in life and both enjoy helping women step into the role that they were created for.

As a Faith Trainer, Brandie helps train women for what they were created to do on this planet. She explains that when we understand faith and God better, we are able to walk in the authority that God has given us.

We discuss biblical submission and how it’s not a bad thing when we understand God’s divine order. In submission, we are able to realize that God is God and I am not.

“We can strengthen our faith to where we can stop second guessing God and start living the life that He has called us to; what a magnificent adventure that is. If your faith is boring, you’re not doing it right because God is not boring.”

Brandi also goes on to discuss how women need to focus more on being authentic and less on being the “perfect church lady.”
“I know I’m not good enough, but I don’t need to be. If I make room for God to work through me, the best will show up.”

As Brandie spent time working with women one on one, she began serving breast cancer survivors and felt the shift that God wanted her to do something more. It was at a networking event that she realized the importance of owning her voice and speaking into others.
She shares with us that there is power and peace in knowing your worth and leaves us with this takeaway:
Three ways to know your worth:

Surrender your ability to him.
Humble yourself under the Holy Spirit.
Recognize that you are not for everyone.

I ask every week, and I'll ask again. Have you written a review yet? Can you go let Brandie know just how much you loved this episode?

EPISODE #68 THE POWER WITHIN with LT. KELLIE HALL

1/17/2020

Comments

Listen to "Power Project Episode #68: The Power Within with Lt. Kellie Hall" on Spreaker.

In Episode #68, I sit down with Lieutenant Kellie Hall as we discuss what makes us powerful as women. Kellie is serving active duty and is a top recruiter in the US Navy. She is not only a woman serving a male dominated leadership role, but she is also a model, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and is competing in the Miss California competition at the end of this month.

The roles that Kellie has found herself in place her in the juxtaposition of femininity and leadership and have helped her create the platform that drives her two part mission in life:
1. Empowering and helping women find their power
2. Shattering the sterotype of people’s expectations.

Growing up, Kellie was a cheerleader, dancer, did track and field and never saw herself in the navy but did dream of being in the senate. Inevitably, she chose the navy because of the personal challenge it presented to her.
“If something is scary, I go for it because that allows the most growth.”
Kellie shares how in the beginning of her naval career, people wanted to put her in a box telling her not to wear make up because she wouldn’t be taken seriously in her career. She faced the same push back when she decided on a whim to try out for the Miss Ohio America Competition. Once again, she saw this as a challenge, but also as a way to connect with likeminded women. She tells us how she had fallen into these positions along her journey but knew that God had pushed her to take action along the path.
“I did not recognize that I was powerful or how to use that power. I kept falling into these areas, and when people told me not to do it, I just said Why Not?..” She suddenly realized that power is not determined by your stature but in the delivery of your message.

Kellie says that people can’t be empowered until they know what makes them powerful which is exactly why she has created a three step process for unlocking the power within:
Three Steps to Unlocking the Power Within:

Find the Passion
Protect the Power
Find a Mentor

Kellie leaves us with her definition of POWER: Utilizing skills and gifts that are given to you by God.

Man! What a POWERFUL episode! If you enjoyed it as much as I did, please go write a review now and tell Kellie exactly how much you enjoyed the show!
Also, tune in Jan. 23-26 to watch Kellie compete in the Miss California USA competition.

EPISODE #67 life lessons with ASHTON CANTOU

1/13/2020

Comments

Listen to "Power Project Episode #67: Life Lessons with Ashton Cantou" on Spreaker.

This week in Episode #67, I sit down with transformational life coach and speaker, Ashton Cantou,. Ashton helps individuals struggling with trauma as well as entrepreneurs get clear on their goals in life, own their power, and take action. She credits her deep understanding of people’s situations and behavior to her personal life lessons and experiences growing up.
   Ashton shares how as a little girl she dreamt of becoming a veterinarian or a dancer but realizes these goals may have been imposed upon her rather than what she truly wanted to pursue in life.
We take a moment here to discuss our parent’s goals for our lives and what that means to us as adults. She tells us:
   “Once we can let go of the need to be approved of by our parents, we really have the freedom to go after our dreams in a way that makes sense to our soul. At the end of the day it’s about love and acceptance and less about validation & approval.”
Ashton discusses with us how she was always passionate about philanthropy and helping others but often times found where her talent would take her, her character could not keep her. She discusses her struggles as a teenager and how she would make decisions that showed that she didn’t truly value her life. Ashton shares with us how the decisions she made presented her as a failure in other peoples eyes, and in turn, that started to become her identity. She says that she felt as if every time she took two steps forward, she consistently took one step back.
   "My talent would take me where my character couldn’t keep me I didn’t deem myself worthy.”
Ashton tells us that even in the midst of the fire and turmoil she could recognize the anointing on her life and God‘s work in her journey. Eventually after struggling with her faith for quite some time, she was baptized, left an abusive relationship and began mentoring battered women. She explains to us that this was her point of a literal surrender, and this was where she could see God‘s plan aligning for her life.
    “Finding this place of self love and confidence and tapping into my own purpose is why I went through it all.”
She took a job in special ed serving special needs children, has become a life coach, is a motivational speaker, and is soon releasing a social emotional book for teen girls that are struggling with identity self-worth, and value. Having worked with children, Ashton realizes that a young girl’s confidence begins to plummet from the age of 8-14 and hopes that with this book, they can own their beauty and come to a place of self love early in life.

Ashton shares her 3 Greatest Life Lessons with us:

When you lose your joy, you are out of alignment.
Listen to your inner wise woman and quiet the noise.
When experiencing failure, embrace the power off the pivot.

I swear I have the best guests! You can connect with Ashton over on IG @ashtoncantou and check out her LinkTree for her coaching services!
Have you written a review? Would you do me a huge favor and go let Ashton know how much you enjoyed this show? Pretty Please!

Episode # 66 three things that can cloud your 2020 vision

1/1/2020

Comments

Listen to "Power Project Episode #66: 2020 Vision & Distractions that Can Hinder It" on Spreaker.

Hey friends! Happy 2020! Each year I pick a word to guide me through the rest of the year. My words for the past few years have been: Purpose, Reach, Focus, and this year, Vision. Often times we hear people tell us to focus on the vision, but we don't always hear about the distractions that can get in the way of that vision.

This week, while lounging in this cozy chair, next to this fireplace, I took time out to think about the literal distractions in life that can get in the way. In Episode #66, I share with you lessons that I learned in the mountains about 3 things that can cloud your vision. I hope you enjoy!

Focusing On Distractions that Can Cloud Your Vision

The White out
- We are currently enjoying a holiday vacation in a beautiful lodged perched atop a mountain. The lodge has wrap around windows and a view that is breathtaking. From my bedroom, I can see a massive range of pine tree clad mountainous snow capped peaks that extend into the heavens in a serene setting where you can’t tell exactly where the mountains end and the clouds begin. We’ve gazed out the windows watching the sunrise and sunset over this spectacular landscape. However, this morning, we awoke to heavy snowfall and close to a white out situation. All I could see were a few pine trees right outside the window. There were no mountains, forest, or peaks extending into the clouds in the background. Just white, a solid sheet of white. I had to stop and think to myself that so often, we are distracted by the current circumstances that can keep us from seeing the whole vision. The mountains are still there. They are still waiting to be climbed, skiied, and traversed. They haven’t gone anywhere. There is just simply a blanket of snow clouding the view and keeping us from being able to truly see them and the endless possibilities.
- HOW THIS APPLIES IN LIFE:
  - Often times, we cast our vision on the goals we wish to achieve. We decide to start a new career, begin a healthy lifestyle, or venture out onto our very own purpose journey. We write down our goals that we wish to achieve in the future. We create action plans and set time frames. We can feel the excitement of the vision we have casted. We can imagine ourselves at the end goal, seeing the vision come to fruition. And, then, a whiteout begins: A friend or family member says something negative about your vision and the sun becomes a little less bright as the view gets a little less clear and precise. An advisor, investor, or prospective partner tells you no and that it will never work. The snow begins falling and you start to squint to see the top of the mountain. You realize how much hard work this vision is going to take and the snow falls harder. You’re only seeing the mountains closest to you at this point. You realize the financial investment this vision will require of you and before you realize it, the sheets of snow in the form of doubt, insecurity, rejection, and mental exhaustion have completely blanketed the vision in one giant white out.
  - The vision is still there. It is still waiting for you to bring it to fruition. You have to accept the distractions for exactly what they are: obstacles that will hide your vision momentarily. However, when the snow stops falling, the vision is there. You just have to see beyond it.
  - TWO STEPS TO A VISION:
    - Mental: Your vision has developed in your mind. You’ve dreamt it and can see it vivid detail.
    - Physical: You have to take action in order to achieve your vision.

Most people never get past the mental stage. They see the vision and then let the whiteout shut them down. The mountains are still there but you have to physically take the steps to fully explore and enjoy all that they have to offer.

Once you can accept the distractions in your life as simply a mental block, you have to put one foot in front of the other and put the work in to achieve your vision.
Not Casting Your Vision Where You Want to Go

I’ve been working with my god daughter this year to help her learn to ski. Last year she did ski school but this year she felt confident enough to take on the mountain without an instructor. We are in a new place and a mountain that she and I don’t know. But, I wanted her to know that I believed in her and she could do it. So, as we disembarked from the life, I went over our plan. I talked to her about the slopes we would be skiing, reminded her to make her big swooping “S’s” and told her to just follow me and do what I did. We took off down the mountain and I was so incredibly proud of how well she was doing and how great she had listened. I told her to keep her eyes on me because, just as her instructor had taught her, where your eyes go, your skis follow. She followed my path like a permanent shadow for the rest of the day. There wasn’t one turn I made that she didn’t take as well. When I sped up, she sped up. When I stopped, she stopped. However, along the way, I forgot to heed my own advice. We were making our way down a bit of a difficult blue that had uneven terrain with piles of fresh powder as well as a few patches of ice. Very aware of the two little girls that were following my tracks, I was doing my best to stay on the smoothest path possible. As I was trying to avoid the powdery mounds, I didn’t quite make the turn as smooth as possible, crossed the back of my skis up, and couldn’t get them uncrossed. I was quickly lying on the ground on my back, skis uphill, and my goddaughter standing there watching me as I heaved myself back up. I had broken the most important rule. Don’t look down. When you look down, you go down. My goddaughter wasn’t on the ground because she wasn’t looking down. She was looking up, at me and following where I went. (I’ll also add that I was thrilled that she was able to stop quickly and not plow into me. That is all on her here!)
When I looked down the mountain and at the trail I was skiing, that’s where I went. I didn’t focus on my current location and the ground below me because that wasn’t where I was going. I was going down the mountain so that is where my focus needed to remain.
HOW THIS APPLIES IN LIFE:

Cast your vision on where you are going.
Find a leader that has already accomplished the goal that you wish to accomplish and follow them.
Set your eyes on your future vision and not your current postion.

Our vision was to reach the bottom of the mountain and hop on another lift to find another slope to conquer. In order to accomplish that, I had to set my focus on the vision and she had to set hers on me. Together, we reached our goals.

Unforseen Dangers & Chasing The Wrong Things:

We were enjoying a lazy New Year’s Day morning in the lodge. Some of the group had headed out for skiing while the rest of us had chosen to stay near the fireplace as the snow fell. The kids at the house decided to bundle up and head outside for some snowman building, snowball fights, and sledding down the driveway. We adults huddled around a table near the window, sipping coffee and mimosas, while we watched the kids play in the snow. As we were visiting, I mentioned that on one trail that we ran the day before, I had seen signs posted warning of a moose in the area and how they can be aggressive. We all laughed about this because we knew the odds of seeing a moose were incredibly rare. It was literally less than 5 minutes later when my best friend in the middle of recording the kids playing in the snow shouted “There’s a moose!” We all jumped to the window to see much to our horror, a moose charging up the driveway and hillside towards our kids. We scrambled around the large house trying too find the quickest way possible to warn the kids and scare the moose off. As we tried to determine the quickest way to warn the kids, the moose turned from having a stare down with the oldest, and decided to charge towards the house. The kids, unaware that these are aggressive dangerous animals, began running after him. As my husband bolted out a lower level side door to shoo the animal away, we opened windows from the upstairs shouting at the kids to get in the house and stay away from the animal because it was dangerous. We were able to safely get the kids in the house and shoo the moose off into the trees where it plopped down and staked its territory. The entire event was both terrifying, hilarious, and exhilarating. I marveled at the innocence of the kids and how they never realized they were in danger.
HOW THIS APPLIES IN LIFE:

How often do we see an opportunity present itself that is actually an unforeseen danger. It swiftly appears along the journey of reaching our vision and we can’t help but take notice. It’s impressive, grand, and like nothing we’ve ever seen before. We want to grab a hold and welcome it into our journey. However, often times, these “opportunities” are detrimental to your vision. They can cost you time, money, and harm. They can send you chasing after the wrong things and further distance you from achieving your vision. You need to be cautious before accepting people or things that want to further your vision in life. You need to be aware of the unforeseen dangers. You need to educate yourself.

If you are starting a new business, build a team of advisors that you trust that you can go to for advice along the way, that will help you understand the parts of business that you struggle with. But, do your research while assembling this team.
If you are beginning a health journey, don’t accept everyone and everything that claim to help you along the way. Ask those you trust for recommendations as to what has helped them. Find what is best for you and your personal journey.
If you are embarking on a journey of purpose, make sure that you stay true to what you value. Seek out mentorship. And, while I am an advocate of expanding your network and welcoming new people in, make certain that those you bring alongside your journey have the best intentions for your vision.

Bottom line, the world is full of moose and they are highly aggressive animals. Do not chase after them.
As we embark on the first day of a new decade, I hope you have cast your vision for 2020. I hope you have set your goals, and I hope that you are able to identify distractions that may hinder your vision along the way.
