The Complete Package!, 5-Stars



I first started listening to Trish's podcasts a little over a year ago. I cannot tell you how much it has positively changed my life! Trish has taught me how to have a more confident mindset and she does it with the ease and love of a best friend. She sprinkles in messages of faith and God to make this podcast unlike any other.  I am still working o my confidence and my fear of what others think, but I am lightyears ahead of where I was before I found her. I recognize this as a life-long journey, on that I am CONFIDENT I will progress through with more and more peace. Thank you Trish for all your love, your wisdom, your faith, your honesty, and for just being so dang amazing. 




 
YOU'RE NOT BEHIND, EVEN IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE
 


You are where you need to be.



In order to get to where we want to go, there are lessons in which we must grow.



You might be circling the same spot because you are stubbornly refusing the lessons. Or perhaps because the lesson is patience, perseverance and presence. 



What is "behind" anyway?



Who are you comparing to?



Is what you think is "ahead" really actually better?



It's important to look at your flawed belief system:



Most of the time we assume that those "ahead" of us are happier than us, more confident than us, more worthy / valuable than us.One of the most courageous things you can do is to be honest with yourself about flawed thinking What are you assuming will be easier about your life once you get "there" or have "that'?Happiness and worth isn't something we chase, because you can't chase what you already have access to --> you have to shift what you're looking at and look through a new lens


 
THE FOUR STAGES OF REFRAMING FEELING BEHIND
 


Get Honest About Where You Are.



Stop running from the truth.



Stop twisting the truth.



Most people want to start where they want to end without even starting. And then they're jealous of people who are where they want to be without having done any of the work. Grow where you want to go. 



Get Brutal About Whose Opinion Matters



What timeline are you following? 



What does it mean to actually be behind in life?



Says who? 



Get Focused on Massive Gratitude



If you're growing, you're going, and if you're going you can feel gratitude.



Take something from everywhere you are and have been.



Look for the lessons you needed in each place



Get Committed to Massive Action 



Massive action on a daily and simple basis



Know your priorities versus your preferences



Be willing to do something different than you've ever done



Put some skin in the game and commit at a new level for yourself
