She Leads Confidently
Curling toes to stop stuttering.
Mindset matters.
After walking off the stage after my Power of Positivity presentation, an older gentleman sat discreetly by the exit waiting patiently to speak with me. The story he told me brought tears to my eyes, and 100% confirmed what I always knew…the amazing power of the mind.
I often talk of my speech impediment, where I have trouble saying the letters R and S. How my English teacher encouraged me to do public speaking. Not letting a ‘small’ issue cause me not to go after my dreams. At that time, my speech was an impediment as not a small issue until she showed it was.
This gentleman told me was a paid speaker who has spoken worldwide. Both across the pond and in America. He spoke deliberately as he told me about his amazing career. He told me how my presentation hit home, and he had to tell his story.
He has a speech impediment as well. When he was in school, HIS English teacher encouraged him not to quit. She told him that if he trusted her, she could show him how not to stutter when he spoke. Of course, he waited eagerly for the miracle she was about to offer.
She told him to curl his toes when he got up to speak. He had no idea how that would work, but he tried it. And he DID NOT stutter. And from that moment on, when he does public speaking, he curls his toes.
What an amazing story! Mindset matters.

#83 Why are YOU not a Millionaire?
Confessions of a Life Coach
I was recently asked that, and it caused me to pause. One of my customers asked me ‘How am I not a millionaire?’. I had to ask her why she thought that.
She stated how much I changed her life, and why am I not sharing my gift. Why am I not helping more people?
What a great question. What is it? Why do I not share? It comes so naturally to me. I can see people as they could be if only, they believe in themselves. Too darn many women do not see their greatness. They undervalue, undercharge, and don’t think they are worthy for people to pay for your services.
She believes the Universe is mad at me. Why? I don’t share my gift with others and the Universe believes it’s wasted talent. Could be right, could be wrong. I know everyone has a unique talent and it’s up to them to share. It’s up to them to step into the gift they have been given and be serious about it. Take yourself seriously and stop getting stuck in the BS. Stop being average when you can be extraordinary. Stop accepting crackers and cheese (see my opined TIKTOK post to see what I mean.)
Your time to become the women you are capable is NOW. Time to Find Your Blue Rose.

Fear being Seen in Your business?
Patterns may be getting in your way.
I fear too many women want to be seen while fear being seen. This dichotomy creates chaos in many ways. It rules people’s lives, and most don’t know it. Heck, it took me years to see the pattern I was running. Do coaching, someone comments, I stop advertising. When someone says they listened to my podcast I would stop for a few weeks. Then reengage. It has wreaked havoc in my life both professionally and in business.
Many women over 50 spent their lives being told to be seen but not heard. Conversely, as they age they want to be seen and heard. Often, they get caught in feeling empowered and fear of being seen. Being seen does mean different things to different people. For me, it meant getting yelled at for ‘being a showoff.’ That’s how my mother viewed it. My dad on the other hand thought it was pretty cool.
This fear has held me back in so many ways it pains me to think about it.
Can you relate? What patterns do you have wrapped around being seen?
