With all the fear out there I wanted to put out a positive, motivational message this Sunday. If you know me well, or if you have listened to Food Heals for a long time, you know that just as passionate as I am about health and wellness, I am equally passionate about building a business and a life that you love. In the most challenging year of most of our lives, I have seen friends move away because they can't afford to live in their homes anymore; I have seen small businesses go out of business; there are "for lease" signs everywhere around my neighborhood. And, while things seem extremely dire right now, I want to be the messenger of hope. The biggest struggle that I see my clients and friends facing is that they have a strong desire to build something, but the thing that is holding them back is not necessarily WHAT they want to do, or even HOW they want to do it, but the feeling that they are NOT WORTHY of doing it; or they are scared to do it; or they are just in pure fear of failure. So in this BONUS EPISODE of Food Heals, I break down 9 fears that hold us back from our greatness, I bust the myths that we hold onto so that we can truly step into our power, and unapologetically build something beautiful, help others, heal the world, and get paid for it. Feel like a fraud? Worried you will be "exposed" at any moment? Have trouble accepting praise? You may be suffering from Imposter Syndrome. According to Psychology Today, people who struggle with imposter syndrome have an underlying belief that they are undeserving of their achievements. They feel that they aren't as competent or intelligent as others might think—and that soon enough, people will discover the truth. If you experience this - You are not alone. Turns out 70% of us experience impostor syndrome at some point in our lives. You may have found yourself asking yourself the same questions over and over. Who am I to start a vegan blog, youtube channel, or podcast? Who am I to write a book, become a coach, or create an online course? Who am I to charge for my work? Who will listen? Who will watch? Who will care? What will people think of me? The truth is you have a mission and a message to share with the world. And with big Pharma and Big Ag making billions of dollars keeping people sick, why shouldn't vegan entrepreneurs like us be making money keeping people healthy? Marianne Williamson says, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?" Who are you not to write that vegan book? Why shouldn't you become that next big vegan Instagram Influencer? Why can't you start the next vegan podcast? In this BONUS episode, Allison Melody, will break down the 9 myths that hold us back from being our greatest selves, so we can unapologetically share the plant-powered message with the world and overcome that imposter monster for good!
