Hey everyone, welcome to our milestone 350th episode! Can you believe it? This is what happens when you're loving the process. The things we think will take forever to achieve sometimes happen before we even realize it.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a live stream recording from this week about thriving during challenging seasons. I want to share the transformation I experienced during circumstances that could have brought me down completely. Instead of just weathering a challenging season, let's think about how to thrive during or after it. Or better yet, how do we alchemize a challenging season?

Alchemy is all about converting something of a lower nature into something of a higher nature. So, how can you alchemize a challenging season? Whether you're facing difficulties in your personal or professional life, there's a profound gift in every challenge. You just have to focus on it.

I'll be talking about the three things I did to shift from a challenging season to a new season of absolutely thriving. This topic has been on my heart for a while now. It's amazing to think about the difference a year can make in terms of where we are and the challenges we've overcome.

As a company, we're experiencing phenomenal growth. You'll hear about what this season has in store for the She Sells brand moving forward, the vision for the podcast, and how we're bringing that vision to life.

[2:54] - Alchemy is converting something in a lower nature into something of a higher nature. How can you alchemize a challenging season?

[7:17] - What got you here, won’t get you to the next step. That is part of the process.

[9:23] - We have had several live streams that you could attend live, but now we will be sharing them more frequently on the podcast!

[12:03] - The live stream recording begins.

[13:26] - What a difference a year can make.

[15:01] - We can’t avoid challenging seasons, but we can harness them and use them for our own growth.

[17:13] - Have you had a situation in your life when everything suddenly changes quickly and you have to figure out how to handle it?

[18:52] - When we’re in it, we’re in survival mode. It might be hard to see the other side.

[23:30] - Once you realize the gift you are receiving, you drop the resistance.

[26:39] - We don’t get what we want. We get what we are. So become the person who has what you want.

[29:10] - When you are in these hard seasons, you are becoming the person you want to be.

[31:02] - You can start to see the parts of you that are not a match for the level you are aspiring for.

[32:04] - When you set an intention for your next level of growth, you get to “mold the clay.”

I want to bring you an interview with two good friends and former clients of mine who are experts in cultivating a strong relationship or marriage while you simultaneously grow your business.

This is a topic that we’ve been talking about more in our client community as women are looking to call in BOTH love and money, and I speak a lot on the business and money side of things, but I am bringing you a couple who has devoted their life to helping you elevate your relationship and marriage so you can have the best of both worlds.

Today my guests are Kim and Matthew Hoffman. Kim is the co-founder and co-host of Kickass Couples Podcast and an expert at being a kickass wife. Kim is an experienced, fulfilled, and successful wife who inspires couples to pursue a meaningful, gratifying relationship with their soulmate. Kim’s passion is to teach imperfect couples how to take a relationship from mediocrity to a powerful, committed, joy-filled, love affair.

[5:40] - During some rough stages, Matthew and Kim sought coaching and did everything to improve their relationship.

[25:06] - We all want to feel seen, heard and appreciated.

[28:49] - You have the right to share how you want your partner to show up, especially if you are showing up for them.

[30:49] - When you have success in a personal relationship, it overflows into your professional relationships, too.

[32:14] - If you are growing but your partner is not, there needs to be a conversation.

[35:35] - Sometimes, we are in different seasons. We have to support our spouse during their times in the spotlight.

Our imagination is limitless, yet we place restrictions on ourselves all the time. Often, we don’t even realize the ways in which we limit ourselves through the automatic reflexes we've developed over time. These subconscious habits can prevent us from reaching our full potential, and today, we're going to learn how to overcome them. Once we become aware of these self-imposed barriers, we then hold the responsibility to decide what to do with them. This awareness is the first step towards unlocking a life that is better than the best you could imagine.

Today’s episode is something that is on my heart. We have the power to open ourselves up, but we’ve been conditioned for these things to not feel right. We need to normalize things feeling good in our lives and once we open up, it can be better than the best you could ever imagine

[2:14] - We don’t even realize the ways in which we limit ourselves through automatic reflexes we’ve developed.

[4:40] - Listen to examples from coaching calls that show that you can have more than you ever imagined.

[6:38] - When we allow ourselves to open ourselves up to how good life can get, the limitations we put on ourselves no longer hinder us.

[7:47] - Once we are aware of the limitations we put on ourselves, we are responsible for deciding what to do with them.

[10:03] - This topic comes from the first quadrant: Mind Over Matter.

[11:28] - What would “better than the best you could imagine” look like?

[13:03] - If you were to harness the power of your imagination, what can “better than you can imagine” even be?

[14:36] - Stop looking outside of you for things that you think will make you happy.

[16:32] - How do we know if a goal is soul-aligned?

[18:09] - If it has been a long time since you’ve listened to yourself, the answer to these questions will be hard to find.

[19:37] - We need to normalize and stabilize things in our lives feeling good.

[22:44] - An affirmation: “It is safe and normal for me to be blissfully happy, peaceful, and stable.”

[25:53] - There are a lot of different strategies to normalize this idea. As good starts flowing in at a whole new level, we need to simply accept it.

[29:10] - If we haven’t made the right connections with money, when we are in the struggle, we will experience lack.
