Hey Pop Squad,

I’m so excited to share with you this new episode. I wrote so many notes y’all. You can hear me turning my notebook pages and my pencil scribbling like crazy in the background!

A special note to you: Remember, you can change your life, get productive, and start your own business even if you struggle with procrastination. Sign up for Procrastination to Purpose™.  The doors close on Wed, December 23rd. Our kickoff call will be on Mon, December 28th and we start the program on Wed, January 6th. Hope to see you there!

Our Profiles in Purpose guest today is Denise Young. She is the Board Chair of SFJAZZ, one of the country’s premiere jazz presenters and a global leader in jazz education. Ms. Young brings experience and leadership that will help guide SFJAZZ’S digital transformation and continued excellence.

She built an impressive 20-year career at Apple, holding a variety of executive roles, including establishing the cultural experience in the Apple Stores and taking them to a 14 country global footprint. She then took on the Chief Human Resources role at Apple.

In this episode we discussed: 

  • Be deliberate about taking care of ourselves as women.
  • Gathering our sisterhood. It’s better to build with a community.
  • Take one step at a time. No one is sitting in judgment of how fast you’re moving.
  • Keeping your promises to yourself.
  • Wear this world a little bit loosely. It’s never always as serious.

Episode 054: Bonus! Interview with P2P Student – Dr. Lisa Davis

Episode 054: Bonus! Interview with P2P Student – Dr. Lisa Davis

LISTEN NOW

Hey Squad,

I want to appreciate all of you who listen to my podcast every week.
I feel so blessed that I get to serve you in this way.

On today’s podcast, I had the privilege of catching up with Dr. Lisa Davis, M.D. who was a participant in Cycle 3 of my program, Procrastination to Purpose™, and I thought it would be great to share her story with you all in the podcast land!

Dr. Lisa Davis, M.D., is a family medicine physician and she has been doing clinical and academic medicine for 20 years. She is now transitioning into an entrepreneur. Her business will help people move from fear and avoidance to love and intention in the area of fitness and nutrition.

She did my Push Through Procrastination™ 5-Day Challenge and joined my Procrastination to Purpose™ Program because she felt she need to manage her transition from her full-time job into retirement and keep her progress flowing as fast.

I knew that I needed more. The 5-Day Challenge – outstanding!  But I, knowing myself, wanted to build on that momentum. I wanted to get more. I just was wanting more information about how to keep this Cavewoman from defeating me. And I knew that the value of what you had to offer just from the 5-Day course. I knew you were about the business. That it was going to be worth my time and my money. And it was going to be effective. So, yeah, I signed up right away. No hesitation. And you gave us a discount. But I would have paid whatever it was.
~ Dr. Lisa Davis

I am incredibly humbled that the program I created has such an impact on the people that take it. To add to the business and personal goals that most women come to the program with, the principles that I teach spill over to other areas of their lives.

I was so happy when Dr. Lisa said that she used the Push Through Principle™ that I teach to finally set up a meeting with her financial advisor and get to look at her money.

You can change your life, get productive, and start your own business even if you struggle with procrastination. Sign up for Procrastination to Purpose™.  The doors close on Wed, December 23rd.

Our kickoff call will be on Mon, December 28th and we start the program on Wed, January 6th.

Episode 053: What is Really Stopping You From Showing Up and Serving

Episode 053: What is Really Stopping You From Showing Up and Serving

by | Dec 16, 2020 | Podcast

LISTEN NOW

What up SQUAD!!!!

Y’all can tell I’m excited from all them exclamation marks. I have had such an AMAZING, UNBELIEVABLE, IMPACTFUL, CRAZY, and PRODUCTIVE week during my  Push Through Procrastination™ 5-Day Challenge!

I can’t believe it! Close to 200 women signed up. The testimonies… I am so grateful. I am blown away, I am overjoyed.

Before we get into it, if you’re a high achieving woman but you know there’s that you’re NOT fully walking in your purpose…

You have a way that you want to show up in this world and serve, but you don’t know where to start. Especially because you procrastinate… I want to help you.

I invite you to sign up for my upcoming Procrastination to Purpose™ Program.  The doors are NOW open and will close on Wednesday, December 23rd. You are my people and I know you, so don’t procrastinate and be scrambling to sign up on the last day.

Our kickoff call will be on Monday, December 28th and we start the program on Wednesday, January 6th.

So, let’s get into the real reason you are not showing up for yourself.

You don’t TRUST yourself.

Whaaaaat??!!! Yes Sis, your unconscious mind has learned over the YEARS that you don’t keep your promises to yourself. Y’all know my story. I would snooze, scramble to get to work, be unproductive by scrolling social media, thrive on deadlines – you know how we procrastinators love deadlines and break promises to others.

You’re NOT a bad person. You’re NOT deficient in some way. You DON’T have a character flaw issue. You are a human being that has an unconscious mind that is setting you up.

Your unconscious mind, which we call our inner Cavewoman, is trying to protect you from failure. And so, we use procrastination as a crutch to prevent us from feeling the hurt and rejection that comes from failing.

My take-aways from this episode:

  • Your relationship with yourself (which is unconscious) is the most impactful relationship of all.
  • You cannot walk in your purpose with a trail of broken promises.
  • Affirmations are empty. They only work when there’s evidence of actions paired with the affirming words.

Episode 052: What Does Confidence Have to Do with It?

Episode 052: What Does Confidence Have to Do with It?

by | Dec 8, 2020 | Podcast

LISTEN NOW

What up Squad!

I am going to be productive and launch into my purpose next year… Is this what you are currently telling yourself Sis? Have you delegated your life to some future time? This was me!

Y’all know here at the Pop Podcast, we are real and tell it as it is. Do you guys know that I used to repeat these affirmations that we are told to – I will stop procrastinating! I will be a better wife and mother this year! I will start showing up for myself and serve!

I can go on and on…

But the sad thing is, I didn’t even believe the things I was saying. Why? Because I had no evidence of actually having been successful at doing these things. I had no CONFIDENCE that I could get any of these affirmations and plans done because I had been living as a procrastinator for essentially my whole life!

Research shows that if your unconscious mind knows that what you’re reciting is not the truth, you’re actually doing more harm than good to yourself. Wow!

I’ll share with you an extract of the testimonial I got from the last challenge I ran in October:
Before I participated in the Pop Squad 5-Day Challenge, I knew I was a procrastinator. I was the rush-at-the-deadline woman. Having my type of procrastination identified (Who knew there was a type?) was all I needed to counter its effect. Simply realizing I was avoiding tasks and why was enough to turn me around? I haven’t been this productive without a deadline looming, ever. – Catherine

My programs work. So, if you are listening to this TODAY, I want you to do yourself a favor. If you haven’t joined the FREE  Push Through Procrastination™ 5-Day Challenge, sign up HERE. I want you in there because it is time!

It is past time for us to get out of our own way and start walking in our purpose. So you’ve only missed one night. It will be very easy for you to catch up and join us tonight at 8:30 PM.

This is one of the first small steps to change the narrative in your unconscious mind and start keeping your promises to yourself every single day.

My take-outs from this episode:

  • Develop a system to help you start keeping your promises.
  • Start building some accountability in your life.
