Do you have all these rules that pop up in your head that have to happen before you rest? What about when you have a shit show for a week and just can't seem to catch your breath?  Would you rest then? Would you stop and take care of yourself? Could you rely on some tools that could pull you out of that emotional roller coaster? Or would that shitty week turn into a shitty month. Would that emotion build and build until you either became bitter or burned out, like it was for me?  This time, I chose to use a different way out of that

It amazed me the responses I've gotten. Conversations how skills didn't translate well between jobs. Ideas and mindsets that the collection of loose skills didn't add up to anything worth getting paid for.  There was this sense of always having to start over again. From the ground up, since there was no clear way to bring the talent and life experience gained with you. Which would lead to staying stuck and not starting that side hustle. Because it wasnt possible to make money any other way. The sad part was that I was, in a sense, right there too. I couldn't see how my skills would make me money. It wasnt like I didn't get paid in the p

Margaretstevens.co/shop --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Show Notes Do you ask for help? I didn't for a long time. I actually kinda sucked at asking for help. I used to create this mindset by denying myself and I became this martyr. I told this story of what I could do on my own. I would say all the time "Look at all the things I'm getting done". Plus, I'm not getting help from anybody. Regardless of how overwhelmed, resentful, and stressed out it made me. My head use to be a dark place. Now I'm breaking the cycle and asking for help all the time. It can be big or small. Like learning a topic I'm not great at. Or making sure that I listen to specific podcast or courses in the morning t

Episode Mindset shifts + Journal Prompts http://bit.ly/3K2VRbL Get all the other links mention on the podcast here. Margaretstevens.co/shop ----------- Show notes I've been thinking a lot lately about how we keep leaving money on the table. Had you told me that 10 years ago.... I would have been pissed and said that was a lie.   But, unfortunately, we all do it. We develop these blinders that help us understand the world and how to function in it. Sometimes that can be an amazing tool.  Other times it can become a limiting belief. Then those limiting beliefs, unchecked can cause us to leave money on the table.  They can cause us to think that we can only bring in money a certain way. That we can only use our skills at work and somehow they magically disappear when we try and do something else.  Today's episode is to help you shift away from the limiting beliefs that are only certain ways to get paid. To the mindset that you become the person that money chases.  You are the person that money

Or what I call the daily yo-yo. You do everything you can to stay positive, while NOT seeing any results. It's such a soul killer. It also can start to train you that money doesn't feel safe. In todays episode. I go into my money story about not feeling safe, but not being conscious of it. I just felt that I could trust money until I got a huge wake up call from our accountant at the time. She called my business a heart attack in the process. I was so stressed out about money that I was trying to manage my clients money for them. Which would stop me from making recommendations, even if

Margaretstevens.co/shop --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Show Notes I’m betting that you heard about the quote about not reinventing the wheel. Well there is more truth to that than you can imagine. But we all kinda do it. We do is a bunch of random things. That are not related or done in any manner that we can test. We start and stop diets with out looking at what’s working and what’s not. We buy courses or books but never make the space to read them. We even do this at work, by constantly doing little bits of our job differently every time. Now you might be thinking that testing is boring. Ill let you in on a little secret. It kinda is. I don’t like testing for testing sakes. But I do love testing so that I can see what’s w

I’m not talking woo woo other time line dimensions. Im talking about the current reality that you are living in today. And the one that is possible if you change, because other people are living it right now. When I started thinking about this. It made even my brain hurt a little bit. But I believe that its an important part of shifting our mindset and habits to create the new “version” of the reality that we want. It can be hard to believe anything is possible if your stuck in an old mindset. If you: Don’t believe you can make more money different than how you make it now that you can take all your pto and tra

But.... then scheduling gets in the way. Something unexpected comes up and throws you off the path before it even became a path. Or your trying to do to much and don't know what to do next. Is it buy the course? Sign up for the free webinar? Do the latest crash diet? But only for a little bit... So, since you don't know what to do.  You buy the thing.  You  lean into the distraction, and don't take any action. You stay in learning mode. Its hard to remember that in the moment.  Especial

Raise your hand if you've gotten all excited for a good new years resolution. Bought the journals, pens and fancy books. Started out strong. Maybe even made it through the January crunch. Only to wake up in September, look back and have accomplished only 1/10 of what you set to do. I was tired of scrambling at the end of the year trying to achieve goals that I should have been working on all year. Last year was different for me. I was able to: Hit my sales goal in both my podcast company & my day job Outsource some work for my website Pay for several acres of irrigation for our Palm

Get all the links mention on the podcast here. https://margaretstevens.co/ep-68-overcoming-overwhelm/ ------ Not taking vacations. Having too many people ask for your help.  Taking care of a loved one when they cant take care of themselves.  Hitting a money rough spot. These are all the normal reason why we get burned out.  But for me it started really when I felt like I was sliding down a slope of constant fatigue. It was a culmination of bad days, terrible sleep habits and bad boundaries with customers.  That's what kicked off my burn out.  But the bad part was that I couldn't seem to get out of that space. No matter what I tired.  A bit of rest here or a tiny bit of self care there, it didn't work.  I would feel good for like all of 5 minutes and than, bam, it was back to this feeling like I had my spark taken away. My day today looks nothing like that soul sucking, spark less day a few months ago.  I'm much better about recognizing when my energy levels are getting

Thank god lol. There last few a weeks have been challenging. I had a my third cold in as many months. And this last one was so bad, that it forced me to take a few days off work because I lost my voice, little mermaid style. Now, if you know anything about me, I love a down day like the rest of us. But to completely stop everything except for the basics for a few weeks, is just crazy hard for me. I Love To Work. I Love To Show Up And Make Money. I Love To Talk. My water rowing machine is my vibe. And when my body forced me to stop and rest, well I didn’t take it well. I’ve been trying to more aware when my body forces me t

Now most people don't get as excited as I do when it comes to creating a template. But they don't know what they are missing out on. lol  I'm obsessed about them. Templates to me, are a gateway to abundance.  They help me focus on what I want to call in, faster than is realistic. Then scale up that success to collapse time. I do want to point out something that is obvious to me, but maybe not to you. A journal prompt is where we go to dive deeper into our thought process on a topic.  Its how we clear limiting beliefs  and things holding us back. Is where we do the fo

Margaretstevens.co/shop --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Show Notes Right now, there are just so many things that we cant control. We cant control the gas price roller coaster we are on. We cant control how other people treat us. But what we can control is how we are reacting to it all. And that doesn't mean being passive and rolling over and just giving up. My nickname was feisty growing up after all. ;) For me, that means its all about the ego. Normally, there should be a healthy dance that we do with our ego. It help gives us confidence when we are trying new things. And it would be pointing us in the right direction of things we are passionate about. But when it is out of balance, it can be an ugly and messy thing. That n

Of course, I'll have examples for us to dive in to in the episode. And yes, one of the examples is farm related. lol Its so easy to NOT see our money hang ups. Most of the time they are just sitting in the back of our brain waiting to hold us back from something new. I discovered another random money hang up the other day. It was a weird contradicting belief about how money was "aloud" to come to me. Which is crazy, because why would I want to stop money in any way from coming to me? That's like turning away winning lotto numbers. Its a nuts concept. Once I recognized this old belief,

Its exposing all sorts of beliefs that I've out grown. Which is always fun when you are in the middle of it. And yes, even I still get surprised by some thoughts that got stuck in my brain from years ago. Now you might not be a astrology fan. But for me. I'm always open to using tools, astrology or friction in my life as feedback to see what needs to change. Where as some other people would use this as a sign to not go ahead with the project. To hold back until the timing is right on creating a project that they want. I use it as a way to see what's not working, then make a pla

That we still make things harder then they need to be. That we still struggle unnecessarily. That we don't find the teachers or resources to move forward in life faster. One of my most current ways of  sabotaging was because I had an ugly website. And I fought being on social media like it was the devil.  Because I do like having control over my website and brand, I could have easily found a website template that was easy to use and updated my sit

Scary right? Its so easy to go on our day and not realize that what we do, what we say and who we are has power. I know that the last few episodes have been focusing on cleaning up our own metaphysical and emotional sides of the street. But, one area we haven’t talked about was what to do with all of the inputs that are coming our way. The company culture, that you really don’t like, but didn’t know you started adopting. The way you treat your self in certain areas. The way you seem to keep having to “relearn” the same lesson over and over again. Its so easy to not see what is lending a han

But this it probably my second favorite I've ever recorded. As always, It started with a single statement. I was listening to another podcast and hear the statement All roads lead to ….. Which quickly turned into my latest obsession's. But this one statement. It was so powerful that I wrote it on our dry erase board. The one that we see every day. The one that motivates us and keeps us on track. Almost nothing makes it to that dry erase board. Last year I only added 6 statements to it. And that still took half of the year to happen. Im very intentional with the words

For me, I have gone through deep, soul sucking burn out two times in the last 10 years.  A burn out so deep that it took all my energy to get up and just show up for work. Even that level of showing up was more body than soul.  And it got so bad that during both burn outs it took me months to fully recover back to my bubbly self. But as I started to feel  burn out #3 kicking in, I read this quote in a romance novel. It basically said that its not the survival of the fittest, but instead survival of who adapts.  Which of of course got me thinking. What if burnout wasnt required? Crazy, I know righ
