How to take action to find clarity and confidence with Dr. Melissa Bird

In this podcast episode, we discuss how life can turn on a dime—Sunday afternoon, I got a call from my sister that my elderly mom had fallen and was found after several hours on the floor. She was taken to the hospital, where they found she had suffered a broken pelvis in multiple places. 

I flew down to the Georgia area to be with her. The road has not been easy during this last week. 

As I sat for countless hours at her bedside, I realized there was a long road ahead, and all I could do was be present. 

This reminded me of the parallel of being by the side of my coaching clients. As a coach, we can support, give direction, and reflect on them what is going on. It is up to them to do the hard work of stepping out of their comfort zone. 

As we celebrate Women’s History Month this week, I want to celebrate the tenacity I have witnessed my mom have amid incredible physical pain. I also want to remind you that to accomplish the difficult hard stuff; the NEXT best step is always the best option for all of us. 

Focusing on the long road ahead is not easy and can discourage you. Instead, focus on the small wins, the little wins that add up to the progress you desire. 

Today our guest is Dr. Melissa Bird. In this timely conversation, we speak about a lot of what I have been experiencing this week. I could not have timed the release any better. 

• The range of emotions as humans.  Part of our experience in the world requires loss, healing, and helping people realize that our need for perfection is our need to heal from grief and loss. When we give ourselves permission to feel the range of emotions, we can surrender to the knowledge we are not perfect, yet we are wonderfully made just as we are. 
• The book by Harvard-trained theologian Meggan Watters - Mary Magdalene Revealed. In this book, she talks about how the body is the vessel for the soul, and we are here to have a human experience. We need to disrupt the narratives that this world creates for us. We need to be willing to step out of our comfort zone and change the living dynamic. 
• Action leads to clarity and confidence. When we tap into our intuition and take inspired, intentional action, our clarity becomes inspired and intuitive, and our confidence can become inspired and intuitive.  This helps us to live in our divine purpose.

Lastly, Dr. Melissa and I will participate in the International Women’s Day celebration on the TalkShopLive Network. The show is on March 8 at 3:30 PM EST!
