Summary

It is so easy to get stuck in our old stories: I can’t find a husband because of my daddy issues. I will never be fit because of my family genetics. I will never make very much money because no one in my family makes very much money. I’ll never go to college because we can’t afford it and no one in my family has gone to college. I can’t start my own business because I don’t know anything about business. My life will never feel complete with just one child – I’ll always feel a sense of loss over this. I have told myself some of these stories. I have seen others tell themselves some of these stories. We get stuck in our stories and don’t progress in certain areas of our lives because we are COMMITTED to our stories. We can see past them, or around them, or through them. But, the truth??? You can find the man of your dreams. You can get in amazing shape. You can make unlimited amounts of money. You can go to college – and grad school. You can start your own business. You can be 100% happy and fulfilled with just one child. To create a new story, you have to start changing the conversation in your head. You have to start talking to yourself differently. You have to be open to new and different influences. You have to be open to growth and discomfort to find the magic that lies juuuust outside your current comfort zone. Our old stories are comfortable and familiar – which is why we hold them close to our hearts. By getting challenging yourself to get a little uncomfortable in new conversations with yourself, you will push you right through your old stories and into new ones that will change your attitude. Your new attitude will change your behavior. You new behavior will change your outcomes. Your new outcomes will change your reality. Start telling yourself new stories.

0:00.0	This is the Shameless Mom Academy, episode 79.
0:06.6	Welcome to the Shameless Mom Academy. I'm your host, Sarah Dean, and I'm here to give you and
0:11.7	other passionate, dedicated moms the tools you need to bridge the gap between motherhood
0:15.8	and living the life of your dreams. I'm also here to help you be a little more shameless every day, because if you
0:22.0	aren't building a life, you're extraordinarily proud of, what kind of legacy are you building?
0:26.6	So let's dive in. Hey, hey, shameless moms. Okay, long holiday weekend. How did we do? So full disclosure,
0:35.7	I'm recording this before the long holiday weekend. So I can't yet
0:39.8	report on my long holiday weekend, but I was in Arizona. I'm going to predict that it was sunny.
0:45.0	Although I'm looking at the weather forecast before leaving, I think Phoenix gets like two days of rain
0:50.3	a year and there's two days of rain scheduled while we're in Phoenix. So that's funny.
1:00.4	Just bringing a little bit of Seattle with us to Arizona. The joke is on us. So I'll report next week and let you know how all of that went. I'm very excited, though, to be heading out to see
1:04.3	family. And I hope that you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend. I hope that you had
1:07.9	equal time for rest and play and not so much time for
1:11.8	work and drama. So that's what the dream is for everyone, right? It's not so much a holidays
1:17.3	always work out, but that's always the dream. All right. So today I want to talk about something
1:22.4	that has been popping up over and over in my life. So I figure like if it's popping up over and over in my life,
1:28.0	I need to talk about it. It needs to be shared. And it will impact others. So this started, gosh,
1:33.7	a couple weeks ago, I was being interviewed. I have, by the way, I have done so many
1:39.7	interviews lately. So I've been interviewed for a few shows. And then I have been interviewing
1:43.1	people for the Shameless Mom Academy. Like, oh my gosh, there are so many fantastic episodes coming up. So I've
1:49.4	interviewed like five people this week and like four people last week. I think. It's crazy.
1:53.7	So many good episodes coming up though. I'm so excited. So listen into these interviews as you see
