We’ve all been there overwhelmed, over-committed, and exhausted! Between work, parental, and friend and family obligations, it’s easy to get caught up in the river of yes! But did you know the easiest way to relieve yourself of this schedule overwhelm is to embrace the no manifesto? That’s right, the best gift you can give yourself is simply saying no. Creating a “no manifesto” involves three key steps:Identify your priorities: what truly matters to you? What are your goals and core values? Write down 5 specific priorities. Set boundaries: What are you committed to? What are you not committed to? How do you expect people to treat you? Communicating clearly: Let people know what you’re going to allow and tolerate in your life. Create a clear, concise statement that will be your “no manifesto”!Saying no can be liberating, and you can create a no manifesto in your personal life and your work life. Today I talk about how to get started, important conversations to have, and how to balance declining and accepting opportunities. Crafting a “no manifesto” can take a little time to get just the way you need it. In this episode, I go over an exercise that can help you make this commitment to yourself. If you create a “no manifesto," I’d love to see it and support you, so please send me an email. What’s Inside:The power of saying no.Protecting your peace and energy.How to create a “no manifesto”.Saying no in your personal and professional lives.Mentioned In This Episode:jennifer@sherocoaching.comJennifer PerriJennifer Perri on LinkedIn

Being a curvy business owner in a Barbie world is no easy feat. Shattering the mold for curvy queens and boss babes, I believe that success comes in all sizes. There are numerous challenges when you don't fit society's narrow mold, as the world often glorifies a single standard of beauty. Unique obstacles arise from societal expectations to internal struggles, which I understand deeply as a plus-size woman who has almost always struggled with weight, as most women have. Working with many women, I see the struggles with self-esteem and want you to know you’re not alone. Despite these challenges, you can rise above them with success and confidence. You have the right to be at the table, on the stage, and to own your success.I want to encourage you to find your way to resilience and self-acceptance. Embrace your unique identity, recognize your identity isn't tied to your appearance, celebrate who you are, surround yourself with positivity, be mindful of your internal dialogue, prioritize self-care and well-being, live authentically always, and speak out for body positivity.Today’s Affirmation and Self-Reflection:I love myself just as I am.

While listening to another podcast, I heard a thought-provoking question: "What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?" This question opens a window into our deepest affirmations and provides a chance to reframe our approach to life's opportunities. By examining these "little prisms" of possibility, we realize that we are often our own limit, held back by fear and self-doubt. Identifying our true dreams can help overcome the barriers that prevent us from achieving success.I share my personal story of recovering from Guillain-Barré syndrome to illustrate that everyone faces struggles, insecurities, and fears, and it's perfectly okay to have them. However, we must not let these challenges stop us. Taking action toward our dreams and against our challenges can be empowering, enabling us to take control of our lives and make decisions for ourselves, by ourselves.Today’s Affirmation and Self-Reflection:Courage launches me above my fears. (Tune in for the expanded affirmation)What have I learned from past failures?What do I need courage for today?Why should I act in the midst of failure?What’s Inside:A thought experiment on what can happen if you could not fail.

It may not be your birthday but you so deserve to give yourself this gift. We’re talking about forgiveness. Sometimes it may feel like forgiveness is for others, but you are serving yourself greatly by being open to forgiving those who have wronged or betrayed you.Anger, revenge, and hostility are wastes of energy for people who are likely not devoting any energy to you. There are immense benefits to forgiveness. Today, I share with you my own vulnerable story of forgiveness, along with some important reasons to consider when it comes to being a forgiving person. Just a few great reasons for forgiveness I touch on today are; living in the past steals your present and taints your future. Failing to forgive creates misery; pleasant thoughts promote a pleasant mood. The more forgiving you are, the more others will be willing to forgive you. Living a perfect life and making perfect decisions just isn't possible. Forgiveness might be the best form of *revenge*. Finally, happiness and peace support a healthy life.Today’s Affirmation and Self-Reflection:Forgiveness is a gift I give to myself.

What if I’m doing things wrong? What if my kids don’t turn out right? What if they grow to resent me? The list goes on and on and on. Did you feel these things? Raise your hand...my hand’s up too! The toughest job that ever existed…mom. We wear so many hats and master so many roles, and yet we are still humans. We want our children to be good people, contributing members of society, and, above all, happy. We often feel guilty for getting angry, saying the wrong thing, comparing ourselves to other parents and families, and falling victim to financial comparison. Symptoms of mom guilt are usually second guessing your decisions, dwelling on mistakes, and always feeling like you’re doing something wrong. It may be hard, but it is so important to take time to validate your child’s feelings, ask for forgiveness when you need to, ask for help and support, stop comparing your children, and realize it’s okay to not have all the answers. As you look back on your time as a mother, you may have regrets. That's life. But you will have learned, and you will have grown.

In this special episode, I am joined by a fairly new friend and colleague, Scaling Strategist Kara Renninger. We connect over the idea that it is up to us to choose something different for our lives and our business. Making a big impact in the world really matters to Kara and to do that, you have to be driven, direct, and honest.Many people don’t really say what they want in life or in business, but if you don’t get clear, come out and say it. It’s unlikely to happen. In our society, too often, women possessing these qualities of purpose, translate into ‘being bitchy’. But that is not the case. We do not have to use small talk to step around important issues; it’s okay and even admirable to be direct about what you think. The more you are able to use your voice and speak out, the more success you will see, in your relationships and business alike. We also discuss motivation, and the truth behind staying motivated is peer support and a powerful mindset. You can change your business or your life, but ya gotta get off your couch and get right in your mind. If you’re a woman who knows there is more out there for you, you are absolutely right. And if you don't have the support to push you there, you need to reach out to me, to Kara. You need to have positive advocates in your life. What’s Inside:How to make the conscious choice for a different life and business.Direct, honest, and driven are three qualities that don’t equal ‘bitchy’ in women.How to stay motivated by using positive advocates.Speak up and speak out about what you want and what it takes to get there.Mentioned In This Episode:Are you longing to break free from the pain and frustration caused by your limiting beliefs? Scaling Appraisal Call with Kara Renningerjennifer@sherocoaching.comJennifer PerriJennifer Perri on LinkedIn

Don't stop believing… yes I am singing that to you.Today I am talking all about self authority and the power of believing in yourself. You probably hear that phrase, “believe in yourself” often, but what does this common piece of advice really mean?  When you dig deep into the self awareness and confidence that play into self belief and authority, others are unable to pressure you to do anything you don’t want to do, and no one can hold you back from the things you know you can accomplish.At the end of the day, YOU are your only limit. Outside perspective is important, but no one knows you like you know yourself, and with regular introspection, you can have unbreakable self-confidence. Focusing on increasing self-esteem becomes an exercise in what really is a self-fulfilling prophecy.But what about the monster known as self-doubt?
