pools podcast with hump days with
0:05
Heather I hope you're having an amazing
0:07
day well
0:09
on this episode I want to talk about how
0:13
you handle your self-identity during the
0:16
busy season
0:18
so
0:19
when I do business coaching that's one
0:22
of the big topics that comes up and
0:26
um
0:27
I guess a lot of people I'm finding
0:30
don't know themselves like you get lost
0:33
in yourself you don't know who you are
0:36
internally without that business with
0:39
that being said
0:40
you can join my Facebook group if you
0:42
want to it's Integrity Consultants
0:45
um feel free to join and Rudy and I will
0:47
be happy to
0:49
help you with this because it's it's a
0:51
it's a big thing
0:55
and it took me a while to figure that
0:57
out because I mean I built this business
0:59
with Chris
1:01
God how many years ago was this
1:03
um let's see Chris and I got married in
1:05
2010
1:06
we started dating in 2008
1:09
so we started the business in 2009
1:13
so I've been running this business since
1:15
2009
1:16
and of course everybody knows when you
1:19
start a business it's all business
1:21
business at the very beginning and it's
1:23
tough because you're working so hard to
1:25
build that business to build that Legacy
1:27
and in this process with doing it in
1:30
this many years you're solely focused on
1:32
that business and you lose yourself
1:34
so how do you how do you help reclaim
1:37
yourself and understand that hey
1:42
this happens during business and
1:47
how do I how do I set myself back and
1:50
how do I separate the the two identities
1:53
of myself because everybody has two
1:54
identities right you have your work
1:56
identity and you have your personal
1:57
identity it's the same as your disc
1:59
profiling
2:00
every one of my coaching clients get
2:02
disprofiling I do two different disc
2:04
profiling I do a personal profile and I
2:07
do a business profile that lets me know
2:09
where they're at personality wise
2:11
because everybody is different like mine
2:13
though I'm be honest my personal and my
2:16
my business are pretty much in line
2:18
because of the individual that I am so
2:21
I'm a high D so that means I'm a take
2:23
charge person I'm gonna get you the
2:25
results that we need
2:27
so how do you identify who you are so I
2:31
always tell my people step one what
2:33
makes you the happiest
2:35
what do you do whenever
2:38
you have to de-stress that's the biggest
2:40
aspect the first thing that pops your
2:43
mind what do you love to do to de-stress
2:45
is it family time is it gaming is it
2:48
reading a book is it turning off your
2:51
phone and sitting in the hot tub with a
2:53
glass of wine and just chilling is it
2:56
shopping
2:57
um those of you that have shopping as
2:59
these stress in this industry is
3:00
probably a bad idea I'm just gonna tell
3:03
you that
3:04
I've started picking up shopping a lot
3:06
more and I've had a
3:07
I've had a cut back since I've had my
3:09
weight loss I actually enjoy you know
3:11
getting close hubby took me to the store
3:14
for anniversary to try on a dress from
3:17
Dolce and Gabbana I think that's the
3:18
correct terminology for it I'm not a big
3:20
I'm not a big name brand person so I
3:22
don't know I'm actually not any brand
3:24
person at all this dress was 2 500 or
3:27
2800 whatever it was I posted it on my
3:29
Facebook so go check it out but I looked
3:30
hot in it I was like I need a sugar
3:32
daddy to to buy me this dress
3:36
but anyways um so for me it was like
3:39
shopping to decrease but that's not who
3:41
I am right so who I am as an individual
3:43
is going to be that's just how I
3:45
de-stress right it's going to be like
3:48
I'm a Mom first and foremost
3:50
and sometimes my my mom comes out of my
3:53
business and my business comes out of my
3:54
mom and I have to learn to separate
3:56
those two because without putting that
3:59
like my son is seven so I can't be like
4:01
fire and Broomsticks with my
4:03
seven-year-old who's got ADHD that is
4:05
over stimulating overwhelmed at times to
4:08
access that and be like okay mom step
4:11
back this is not business right so I
4:13
have to identify the issues that I have
4:15
inside of me at the present moment is it
4:18
Mom Voice or is it work voice
4:21
secondly I'm a wife
4:23
obviously
4:25
I've gotta rain that in I think I've
4:27
done a lot better and Stephen will I
4:29
think vouch for me on this
4:31
um I've been a lot better on the whole
4:32
Steven's uh one of our good friends by
4:34
the way uh well vouch for me that saying
4:36
I've done a lot better on the
4:38
the husband and wife Dynamic inside of
4:40
the business with respect of my husband
4:42
a lot more than I had in the past
4:45
um because that's a tough one if you
4:46
work with your spouse and you were
4:48
constantly
4:50
every day with your spouse and you feel
4:54
whatever way that you feel about your
4:55
spouse it's hard sometimes to separate
4:57
that too
4:58
so I think the biggest issue for me is
5:01
who I am outside of my business I used
5:03
to think that if I didn't have my
5:05
business I was a failure if I didn't
5:06
have my business if I didn't Thrive I'm
5:08
a failure and I can't start over or I
5:11
can't I can't be the person that people
5:13
perceive me as because my business isn't
5:17
where it should be or I've or I've ran
5:20
across issues in my business and that
5:22
shouldn't happen like what are people
5:24
going to think you know what are people
5:26
going to think first off because if my
5:27
business not succeeding that tells me as
5:29
an individual I'm not as you know being
5:31
successful and in fact that is the
5:35
complete opposite of how you should
5:37

6:21
it should be individually how am I
6:24
individually first and foremost because
6:27
you can't operate a business if you
6:29
individually if you don't know who you
6:31
are individually if you don't like the
6:34
person that you perceive yourself
6:35
individually and you don't want people
6:38
to perceive you individually in a
6:40
certain manner then change it you have
6:42
the power to change that and for me
6:45
that started with my weight loss I've
6:48
lost 110 pounds and I'm sure if you go
6:51
back on the videos If Rudy's posted you
6:52
know the videos before I haven't even
6:54
looked at past I'm sure he has because I
6:56
did videos you can see like even in my
6:58
face and you know everywhere else the
7:01
difference and that's
7:03
I I ate I ate who I was that like I was
7:07
eating food not hate like h-a-t like ate
7:10
like food I was eating myself to death
7:14
literally if I was stressed if I was
7:16
bored if I was doing whatever because I
7:19
thought that
7:20
my individual self didn't matter it was
7:22
my business self
7:24
and once I understood that and I
7:27
faced my issue head on I could
7:30
understand that okay it's person it's my
7:34
person it's not my business
7:36
you have to take whatever that issue is
7:40
starting out and tackle it head on
7:44
example if I have I don't have it with
7:47
me but if I had a cup of water right
7:48
let's say imagine me holding a cup of
7:50
water
7:51
how much do you think this cup of water
7:54
weighs 16 ounces eight ounces whatever
7:57
it may be and in fact the longer you
8:00
hold on to it the more that that water
8:03
is actually going to perceive you to
8:05
weigh right your arm's gonna get tired
8:07
it's gonna get
8:09
shaky it's gonna get
8:12
like worn out right because the longer
8:15
that you hold it the more that your arm
8:18
weighs because it's heavy over time
8:22
obviously you don't hold a cup of water
8:24
for an hour you'll be right but like I'm
8:25
talking about hours on end it's the same
8:27
thing the longer that your body holds on
8:30
to something the heavier it begins to
8:33
weigh on you the heavier it begins to
8:35
make you think that okay this is you
8:39
individually when in fact it's not
8:41
so you have to think really hard as the
8:44
self-help how am I going to separate
8:47
myself from my business and only you can
8:50
answer that nobody can answer that for
8:52
you as much as I can coach you and teach
8:55
you what to look for the signs what to
8:57
look for for me it was definitely my
8:59
weight because I perceived myself body
9:02
as nothing and I was perceiving my
9:05
business as everything and so I was
9:07
turning around I started having fatty
9:09
liver
9:10
I was passing out when I was bending
9:13
over putting my shoes or my boots on to
9:15
lace them up if I didn't wear flip-flops
9:16
I couldn't breathe in my pants you know
9:19
so I was at a size 22 which meant if you
9:22
don't know that that's a very large size
9:23
right
9:24
um that's pass 2XL I was 3XL in shirts
9:28
and now I'm you know down to a six in
9:30
pants and I'm a small to extra small and
9:32
tops
9:33
because I took time to understand that
9:37
self-help girls guys I can't stress that
9:40
enough
9:41
learn your identity get to know your
9:44
identity and start focusing on that
9:47
identity outside of the work your worth
9:49
is worth more
9:52
than just your business
9:54
guys and gals learn that
9:58
be respectful of your body and the
10:01
people around you to help with that and
10:04
it's hard guys I'm not gonna lie
10:07
my first process during this journey was
10:10
was hard it was okay
10:13
for me
10:14
it was me passing out putting my shoes
10:16
on and that's I mean that for me just
10:18
instantly clicked like okay I have to do
10:20
something myself worth my business is
10:22
killing me literally my business was
10:24
killing me because I was stressed all
10:26
the time so because I was eating all the
10:28
time I was stress eating
10:29
that's not who I wanted to be and that's
10:31
not who I wanted people to perceive me
10:33
as
10:34
so I'm very thankful that it took it
10:37
took a very
10:39
a very dramatic as I like to say
10:43
um dramatic dramatic thing to help me
10:45
realize that but hopefully I can help
10:47
you realize that before it gets to that
10:49
point in your life
10:51
um reach out to me let me know what you
10:53
need help with um I'm there Rudy is the
10:55
same way you know Rudy's been a a very
10:58
godsend with me with certain aspects of
11:00
my business as well and personal life to
11:03
I don't have the Judgment you know you
11:05
want to find somebody that's not going
11:06
to judge you first and foremost like
11:08
that is your support system has to be
11:10
your support system
11:12
period
11:14
make sure you find somebody for that
11:15
because it is
11:18
It's A Hard Road to go by yourself
11:21
learn who you are outside of your
11:22
business
11:23
once you figure that out your business
11:26
will thrive
