Summary

#311: Have you ever hit a wall—mentally, creatively, emotionally—and wondered how you were going to get through it? I have, many times.

When I’m low on motivation or facing something that feels bigger than me, I’ve started asking myself a simple question: What would Beyoncé do? Not in a “she’s perfect” kind of way, but because she embodies discipline, reinvention, and showing up even when it’s hard.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing why Beyoncé is one of my go-to sources of inspo when I need to recalibrate, plus a few lessons I’ve pulled from her rehearsals, performances, and fearless approach to business. Whether it’s a new creative project, a tough decision, or just getting through a blah week—channeling a little Bey energy can go a long way.

If you’ve been needing a mindset reset or a reminder that you’ve got this (even when it feels like you don’t) this episode is for you.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a dear media production.
0:12.0	Welcome to Sheets So Lucky. My name is Les. I'm your host. And this show is all about the ways that we can create our own luck. I often sit down with incredible women who create their
0:24.0	own luck and talk to them about how they did it. And I pop in with the occasional solo. And today,
0:28.3	it is just you and me. And we are having a conversation that is near and dear to my heart that I
0:34.8	have with myself very often. And that is when my motivation
0:40.5	is wavering, when I am not sticking through with my habits or doing the things I know I need to do
0:47.3	to reach my goals, I will often say to myself, what would Beyonce do? And that is the theme of today's conversation, WWBD,
0:58.0	what would Beyonce do? Now, I was recently in Portugal with my friend Christina. We had a
1:06.7	girl's trip in Portugal, and it was such a good time. And honestly, we were just in Portugal for a week
1:11.6	viving out. We did have an agenda with different itineraries of things, but it was mostly just us
1:16.7	chilling and walking around Portugal. And every two to five business seconds, I would find
1:24.5	some way to bring up Beyonce. And we got a few days into our trip. And she was like,
1:30.6	Les, I know that you like Beyonce. I know that you go to the concerts and all the stuff,
1:34.2	but I didn't realize how much you love Beyonce. I feel like you don't talk about that as much
1:41.1	on the podcast and in your content. And people who just follow you online
1:45.3	may not know how much you love Beyonce because these past three days, you can't stop talking
1:50.3	about her. And I'm like, yes, that is the IRL experience of me. And I thought I should bring
1:55.8	more of my love of Beyonce to the podcast because it is something that is actually very important to be.
2:03.9	And I would not consider myself influenced much by people. I often get asked who my favorite
2:09.9	influencers are and things of that nature. And I sometimes have a hard time answering just because
2:14.6	a lot of the creators that I love to follow, I'm also friends with,
2:17.5	and I see it less as being influenced and more of, you know, supporting and keeping up with the
