Key Thoughts:
I got custody of my son and I realized that in order to have a sustainable one parent income, I couldn't be all things to all people all the time. I figured out that the best way for me to manage my time and manage my schedule was to go into business for myself. - Todd (04:32)
I saw this quote from Tony Robbins about five or six years ago, and it shifted everything for me. - Todd (11:21)
You might fit the mold on Monday, but you might not fit it on Tuesday. And now what are you going to do? - Michele (25:22)
I mean, I've got a client right now whose business was doing great, but the change of regulations within a governmental code, his business is very vulnerable right now. And he has to pivot away from his bread and butter of 25 years now. - Todd (25:31)
One of the first things we did start working on was on my mindset because I was incredibly internally self-critical. So that was how imposter syndrome impacted me. - (Todd (29:39)
I recognize that in the blessings I've received by standing up and leaning into those uncomfortable moments first opens the door for people to share things that they've never maybe shared before in their lives. - Todd (55:31)
I am a coach and I have a coach, but I need that safe space to unload, and to share and to be vulnerable in a way that I'm understood. - Michele (01:01:56)
