and business women, especially those of us building our businesses

12
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.479

So with all that being said, Dom, welcome to Word

29
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:55.319
of Mom Radio.

30
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.400
Hi Dory, thank you so much for having me. I

31
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:01.840
am looking forward to what comes out of our conversation today.

32
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.760
Just before we hit before we had such a good

33
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.239
chemistry and so I know this is going to be

34
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:06.959
a great conversation.

35
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.360
Me too, And I would love for you to take

36
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:14.639
us on your journey that led to Transformation You University.

37
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.400
Yeah. So I always say that I like stumbled into entrepreneurship.

38
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.759
I think in meeting people, I've I found that you

39
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.280
have two types of entrepreneurs. You have the person that

40
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:28.960
has always known that they were going to be an

41
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:31.039
entrepreneur and they could never work for people and they

42
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:33.120
just knew that. And then you have those of us

43
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:34.960
that are like, we figured it out along the way.

44
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.919
And so I was someone who never really saw entrepreneurship

45
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:41.800
as a path for me. I you know, went to college,

46
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.080
got a corporate job, did that for a few years.

47
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.960
I realized early on that corporate wasn't necessarily the route

48
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.639
that I wanted to go, and so after a few years,

49
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.840
I moved to China, I traveled for a bit, and

50
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.159
then I came back home, and I've moved into the

51
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.360
nonprofit sector, and I found that to be a better

52
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.560
fit for me because it made I'm an Aquarius and

53
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.400
so we're a mission driven and nonprofit work felt more

54
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.919
aligned to serving and impacting the community that I was

55
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.199
a part of in the way that I desired, and so,

56
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:11.479
you know, I settled into that space. I was in

57
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:15.599
grant writing and fundraising and did that for a few years,

58
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.840
did it really well, but it was never fulfilling to me,

59
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.560
Like it was one of those things that came easily

60
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:22.840
for me that I never saw myself doing. And I

61
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.240
excelled at it in my organization, but it didn't really

62
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.919
fulfill me or light me up. And so after doing

63
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.360
that for a few years, I had my second daughter

64
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.879
in September of twenty nineteen, and I decided that I

65
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.280
was going to quit my job and have an extended

66
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:41.919
maternity leave. And so in December of twenty nineteen, I

67
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:43.680
stepped away from my full time job. I did not

68
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.120
have a plan, I did not have money saved. I

69
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.560
was just like, I'll figure this out. I'll be out

70
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.280
of work for six months and then I'll go back

71
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.400
to work, and then we all know what happened three

72
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:56.199
months later with COVID. Right, COVID came and shut everything down.

73
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.000
People were now quarantining, people were being laid off, and

74
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.080
so it wasn't a great time to be re entering

75
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:03.759
the workforce, or it didn't feel like it for me.

76
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.759
But I still needed to provide for my family. I

77
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:08.520
was a mom of two, and I had a partner

78
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.759
and a mortgage and all of the adult responsibilities that

79
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.879
come with being an adult. And so I just decided

80
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.879
to step into entrepreneurship and to step into coaching that

81
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.920
was my first business, out of necessity, like I needed

82
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:21.879
to pay the bills. I needed to figure things out,

83
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.519
and it has been a wild ride. I had just

84
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:30.240
celebrated my fifth anniversary of entrepreneurship in December, and looking

85
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.439
back over the last five years and how much I've

86
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.879
grown I'm really astonished at just the amount of growth,

87
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.319
the rate of growth that has happened in this small time.

88
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:43.000
I had dabbled in entrepreneurship before twenty twenty, but it

89
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.079
was always like side hustles and you know, multi level

90
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.319
marketing sort of things. It was just like something that

91
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:49.959
I kind of did on the side in addition to

92
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.079
business as I was figuring things out. But these last

93
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:56.079
five years it's been me all in, like trying to

94
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.399
actualize this vision that God has placed on my heart

95
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.720
and has trust met with. And it's been up and down.

96
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:03.079
You know.

97
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.600
There have been lots of wins along the way, there

98
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:10.000
have been lots of lows. And starting Transformation University was

99
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.600
really out of obedience. I tell people, like, when I

100
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.600
first felt guided to step back in and support women

101
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:17.800
in this way, I had resistance to it. I didn't

102
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.399
really want to do it because my first experience with

103
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:23.879
coaching was extremely challenging, and so I was just like, no, God,

104
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.199
I've tried that, find someone else to do this, please,

105
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.360
But you know, you gotta be obedient when you are

106
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.639
being led by spirit. I'm a very faith led person,

107
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.399
and so I started supporting women and that's the work

108
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:39.480
that I do today. With Transformation University, I've essentially taken

109
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.639
all of the lessons, the failures, the things that I've

110
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:47.480
learned over five years plus of soaking up information for myself,

111
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.439
and I'm now able to not only apply that to

112
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.639
my business move and still but also support other women

113
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.160
in birthing and launching their dreams for their businesses and

114
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:01.279
nonprofit organizations or growing what they've already created. And so

115
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:05.759
that's where Transformation University comes from, and the aim is

116
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:10.199
really focusing on helping women to do the transformational work

117
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.279
that's necessary to hold the big vision that they have

118
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:13.040
on their heart.

119
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.639
Love that I really do because in doing the things

120
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.160
that I do, and actually during COVID, the gift I

121
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:22.720
gave to myself was getting my coaching certifications. That's what

122
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.839
I did on my downtime, and I got certified as

123
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:27.439
a business coach and a life coach, which I had

124
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.600
been doing for years, they just didn't have certifications back then.

125
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:35.560
But most importantly mindset coaching, because you know, and especially women,

126
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:41.079
we talk ourselves out of our dreams so often as

127
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.639
excited as we can get about building something, and the

128
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.439
next sentence is, but then this could go wrong, and

129
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.639
that can go wrong, And it's an amazing thing to

130
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:52.040
me to hear people create problems for something that hasn't

131
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:52.920
even happened yet.

132
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:55.600
Yeah, and it's funny that you say that I'm smiling

133
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.759
because I was talking to a woman yesterday. I do

134
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.519
clarity calls with women entrepreneurs just to learn about their businesses,

135
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.279
to understand their visions, to see where there are gaps

136
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:08.160
and challenges, and then to understand their goals better. And

137
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.439
then I send a swat analysis after, which is really

138
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.240
helpful for them because it helps them to kind of

139
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.040
clarify what's in their heads oftentimes. And so I was

140
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.160
doing one of those yesterday with a woman and it

141
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:19.480
was literally what you said it was. She just kept

142
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:22.079
she'd been through a lot, like she had experienced a

143
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.800
lot of you know, past trauma and experiences that contributed

144
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.079
to the version of herself that she was. But I

145
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.199
felt like she was spending a lot of time thinking

146
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.000
about the things that had happened in the past and

147
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.480
like being here but waiting for the shoe to fall,

148
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.279
like waiting for something to go wrong. And I literally

149
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.079
had to like lovingly pause her in the midst of

150
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.360
her sharing this story to say, hey, like, put your

151
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.319
hands on your heart, close your eyes, take a few

152
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:48.560
deep breaths, like first, let's just bring your nervous system

153
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:52.439
down because you're reliving these experiences right now. And then

154
00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:57.879
also repeat after me, I am safe, right, I am safe,

155
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.680
and my past doesn't have to be my present, Like

156
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:04.879
you get to make a decision that you're going to

157
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:06.800
let things go and decide that I'm going to be

158
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:08.839
focused on what needs to happen now so that I

159
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:10.959
can get to the future that I envision, because we

160
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.120
can't change the past. And so I agree with you

161
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.920
that sometimes we look at and I this was me

162
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:17.600
for a long time, Like you said, I've had to

163
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.000
do a lot of mindset work to begin to unlearn

164
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.000
those beliefs and those habits that were holding me back

165
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:25.120
in that way. But it's such a necessary thing for

166
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.399
us to do that mindset work. But at some point

167
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.680
we do have to make a decision, right that, regardless

168
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:32.879
of what happened in the past or what this looked

169
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.840
like for me last time, this is how I want

170
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:37.799
to be and this is how I want to move forward,

171
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.679
and you know, from there, just take the action consistently.

172
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:45.039
Agreed and it is so important for us to reinforce

173
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.039
that in the women that we talk to and being

174
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:53.759
that sister friend because we all face challenges. That's life.

175
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:57.080
You're not facing challenges, you're not doing anything, yeah, exactly.

176
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:01.600
And so to create those doumbling blocks that haven't even

177
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:04.919
been bored yet, yeah, is tough. And in looking at

178
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:06.399
the things that you were doing, I was looking at

179
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:09.840
four percent formula. I would love for you to share

180
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:14.720
this and why you feel it is so effective because

181
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:15.000
this is.

182
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.759
A topic that I'm super passionate about. So to give

183
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.039
you just like a little bit of backstory really quickly.

184
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:23.559
I've been doing this practice for five years. In March,

185
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:25.320
March will be five years. So right around the time

186
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:27.799
that COVID was started, I got I was meditating. There

187
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.720
was a lot happening in my home, you know, I

188
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.360
talked about being unemployed and there's other things that were happening.

189
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.240
I was at a really low point in my life

190
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.360
and I just like could not figure out how to

191
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.519
get myself out of the situations that I was in.

192
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:43.440
And then externally, COVID was happening, right so the world

193
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:45.399
was falling apart, and so it was just like Jesus,

194
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:47.600
I don't know what to do here. So I started

195
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:49.840
meditating and praying, and I was just asking. I was

196
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.200
just hoping for spirit to like throw me a lifeline.

197
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.279
And one day when I was meditating, I got a

198
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.840
download that's it. Every day for the next ninety days,

199
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.399
focus on your mind, your body, and your spirit. And

200
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.159
I did that for ninety days. That was you know,

201
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.440
me being very intentional about the things that I was consuming.

202
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:10.679
Mindset wise, I started listening to inspirational content such as

203
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.639
this podcast or instructional content, so I really started focusing

204
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.759
on learning. I started focusing on my meditation and mindfulness

205
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:20.679
so that I could become aware of my beliefs and

206
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:23.799
the habits that were holding me back and recognizing the

207
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.440
things that I needed to unlearn. So I devoted fifteen

208
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.320
minutes a day to mindset focused work, at least fifteen.

209
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.360
On the spiritual end, I started being more consistent about

210
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:36.159
journaling and just you know, allowing myself to be still,

211
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:38.440
to connect with myself and to get more clarity and

212
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:40.519
direction about where I wanted to go and what I

213
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:42.559
wanted my life to be like. For the first time,

214
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.000
I was thinking about that as opposed to just kind

215
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:46.919
of working the nine to five and going with the

216
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:49.240
you know, going with the flow of life. And then

217
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:53.399
I devoted thirty minutes to movement every single day. Physical movement,

218
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:56.559
you know, yoga, going for walks outside to get fresh air,

219
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.960
going for a swim, like just whatever my body felt

220
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:02.039
like it needed. And I did that for ninety days straight,

221
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:04.080
and Dorry. At the end of that ninety days, I

222
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:07.360
was a completely different person. I was a completely different

223
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.399
person from March to May, and I had no idea

224
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:13.559
that I would go undergo that sort of transformation, and

225
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.440
I wanted to share how I felt with everyone. It

226
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.360
was like I had bottled up all of this energy,

227
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:19.960
like I wish I could have bottled up all of that,

228
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.720
and just like sold jars of it. I felt amazing.

229
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:25.399
And that's really what started me in entrepreneurship, because I

230
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.320
was like, man, I want everyone to feel this, and

231
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:30.440
I jumped into coaching and so I did that for

232
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.679
five years. My life has changed a lot in that

233
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.639
five years, but this practice has been consistent for me

234
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:38.399
in the midst of these changs, and it's kept me

235
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.240
grounded in the midst of separation and divorce, you know,

236
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:43.799
going back to work full time at one point because

237
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.720
I needed a pause for my mental health lots of

238
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:49.600
things with co parenting. But I've had this daily practice

239
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.519
to just bring myself back and you know, reconnect with myself.

240
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.919
And that I started feeling guided to now start sharing

241
00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:58.559
this out with the world, Like you've been doing this

242
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.519
for five years, trains from your life, It's now time

243
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:04.080
to share this out. And so as I was thinking about, like,

244
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:05.720
how can I share this out in a way that's

245
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:08.279
easy for people to remember and that inspires them and

246
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:10.440
makes them want to do this, like just try it

247
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:13.240
even and I started doing the math, I was like, okay,

248
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.639
fifteen minutes of mindset, fifteen minutes of a spiritual practice,

249
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.799
and thirty minutes of movement, Like how much time is that?

250
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.240
It's an hour. So then I have a very curious brain.

251
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.600
My brain was like, well, how much is one hour

252
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.960
out of a twenty four hour day? And when I

253
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.559
did the math, it's only four percent. And so what

254
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.720
I'm sharing is that with just four percent of your day,

255
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.200
you can make time to prioritize yourself in the mess,

256
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.360
in the midst of the very messy, chaoticness that comes

257
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:42.080
with life in the midst of being extremely busy, you

258
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:45.320
can find time to dedicate one hour to yourself and

259
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:49.200
it just makes everything else move and flow much easier

260
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:53.559
because what happens is, over time, it increases your emotional capacity.

261
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.879
And so the things that used to cause me to stress, worry,

262
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:00.279
have anxiety and be overwhelmed like I have now I'll

263
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.120
built almost like an armor with myself where those things

264
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.320
don't overwhelm me the same. And it's because I have

265
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:08.240
this constant practice that helps me to ground and like

266
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:10.360
brings me back to myself every single day.

267
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.120
I am already hearing that mom saying you, I don't

268
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:19.840
have an hour of day to prioritize for myself. What

269
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:20.879
do you say?

270
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:23.399
Yeah, So the first thing I say is that I'm

271
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:25.759
also a mom. Right. I have a five year old

272
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:28.279
and an eight year old, and they're very busy little people,

273
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:30.480
and I'm a co parenting mom, so that means that

274
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.080
I have them a week and my partner, my ex husband,

275
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:34.519
has them for a week. So when I have them,

276
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.679
I'm like a single mom. So I know what it's

277
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:39.720
like to be busy and to be trying to balance

278
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:41.879
all the things. I'm also a full time entrepreneur, and

279
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:47.000
I'm managing two businesses right, and I'm very adamant about

280
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:48.720
my health and monus journey, and so I have to

281
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:50.879
make time for that too. So I share all that

282
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:52.440
to say, I know what it means to have a

283
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.279
very full plate, and I know because I've done it

284
00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:57.279
for the last five years, that it's possible to still

285
00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:00.320
find time to yourself. The beautiful thing about this for formula,

286
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:02.360
the four percent formula, is that it doesn't have to

287
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.519
all be done at once, So I break it up.

288
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:06.679
It gives me times during my day to like come

289
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:08.759
back to myself or just a moment in a very

290
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:11.440
busy day. And so maybe you do fifteen minutes of

291
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.399
journaling when you first wake up in the morning. Surely

292
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.879
you can find fifteen minutes, right, you do that, That's

293
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.240
how you start your day. And then maybe in the

294
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:21.039
middle of the day you pause and you know, do

295
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:23.159
some physical movement, go for a walk on your lunch break,

296
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:25.080
even if it's just fifteen minutes, like if you can't

297
00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:27.759
do thirty, something is better than nothing. And then on

298
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:30.279
the car ride home, you know, from the grocery store

299
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:34.120
instead of listening to gossip or you know, listening to music.

300
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.279
You can put on a podcast like this and feed

301
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:38.799
your mind. And so what I've always shared with my

302
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:42.200
clients is that we have to be creative about how

303
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:44.600
we find time. You can find time to listen to

304
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:47.360
a podcast when you're loading the dishwasher, when you're getting dressed,

305
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:49.559
when you're in the shower, and so the notion of

306
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:52.519
not having time is just an excuse, honestly, because we

307
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:55.320
can be creative about making time in the midst of

308
00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:57.120
things that we're already doing.

309
00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:01.000
On that note, think of what Dominie's just said. We're

310
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:03.039

In twenty seventeen, Unsilenced Voices was formed to help survivors

319
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:39.480
of domestic abuse and gender based violence worldwide. The organization

320
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:45.399
currently serves Siri Leone, Rwanda, Ghana, and the USA. In

321
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:50.039
twenty twenty two, Unsilenced Voices gifted over thirty three thousand

322
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:53.840
dollars to survivors in the USA and in Siri Leone,

323
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:57.279
there are over twenty six young girls who have been

324
00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:02.080

330
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:25.960
And we're back here on Word of Mom Radio with

331
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:32.240
Dominice Clifton. We're talking about Transformation University and how we

332
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:36.679
got to get out of our own way. So for you,

333
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:40.080
in looking at your clients and things and people that

334
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:42.960
you're working with, what do you think the main obstacles

335
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:46.720
are that they uses their reasons to stop taking actions

336
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:47.519
for their dreams.

337
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:48.840
You know.

338
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:51.000
I think the first one is something that we talked

339
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:54.559
about already. I think it's mindset. I think that I

340
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:56.799
know that this was true for me when I started

341
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.240
in entrepreneurship, and I had to really be intentional about

342
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:02.519
working through and overcoming it. I see with other women,

343
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.319
until you self awareness is the most important aspect of change,

344
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:09.400
Like you have to be aware of where there are

345
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:11.680
challenges or you know, things that you want to work

346
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:13.880
on so that you can change them. And a lot

347
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.480
of times people are not mindful and aware, right, Like

348
00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:19.000
we were so used to being on autopilot and thinking

349
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.799
the same thoughts and doing the same behaviors every day

350
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:25.440
and being stuck in the same routines that we are

351
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:27.960
not aware of the things that we think in the

352
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.519
negative self talk and the you know, the self doubt

353
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.640
that we have. One of the most beautiful things that

354
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:35.759
I would say the universe gifted me with was my

355
00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:38.559
first coaching program. So I told you, I jumped into

356
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:41.759
entrepreneurship in twenty twenty and it was new for me.

357
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:43.319
I didn't know anything, and so I knew that I

358
00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:46.440
needed help with figuring things out. The first coaching program

359
00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:49.039
that I invested in like the you know, Biggest One.

360
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:51.480
Up until that point, I'd done other little business programs

361
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:56.119
here and there, but it was a mindset focused entrepreneurship

362
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:59.920
like coaching program. So my coach and mentor was all

363
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.359
about mindset right. He had a podcast, he still has

364
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:05.400
a podcast that focuses exclusively on mindset, and so everything

365
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:08.519
that he talks about is neuroplasticity and you know how

366
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:11.160
to change habits and all of these things. And I

367
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:14.559
was drawn to his podcast before investing in his program,

368
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:16.759
and so I'd listened to him for months and been

369
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:19.119
utilizing the things that he was sharing, and it was

370
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:21.759
just helping to make me more aware of where I

371
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:23.920
was getting stuck and how fear was holding me back.

372
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:27.559
And so joining this program as like my introduction into

373
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:31.440
business coaching, I feel like was so pivotal for me

374
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:35.920
because it's set the foundation. Mindset is what gets us stuck, right, Like,

375
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:39.359
if we are not aware of our subconscious mind, which

376
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:43.200
is it governs ninety percent of our behaviors consciously, consciously,

377
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:46.000
we only have about ten percent of control. And so

378
00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:50.319
if you have beliefs and habits that are unresolved from

379
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:52.960
your childhood or from things that happen in your past,

380
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:55.599
when you try to take a leap of faith or

381
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:58.559
step out and do something that is fearful to your

382
00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:02.359
subconscious mind, it's going to self sabotage every single time.

383
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:05.279
And so it's extremely important for us to start digging

384
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:09.680
into and like becoming intentional about identifying where we're getting

385
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:12.880
stuck and what's holding us back, and then really recognizing

386
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:15.880
that we can begin to unlearn things and build new habits.

387
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:18.359
And that's what I did, and that was really helpful,

388
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:20.680
and I feel like that's where most people struggle, and

389
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:22.920
because I know how important it is and how we

390
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.839
can get stuck, I've actually incorporated mindset work into my

391
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:29.240
program and that's where we start. We start with like

392
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:32.559
building that foundation, because if not, like I've seen it

393
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:35.640
for myself, I would have an intention, a conscious thought

394
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:37.759
about I want to do this thing, go live right,

395
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:40.079
Like I used to struggle with going live and having

396
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.480
these types of conversations that would be so worried about

397
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:44.039
how I was going to look and how I was

398
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:45.440
going to sound and if I was going to mess

399
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:47.039
up and what people were going to think. Like that

400
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:50.000
was mindset work that I needed to do, and I

401
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.599
would freeze and I would just like self sabotage and

402
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:55.519
hold myself back from taking action, and I would be like,

403
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:58.359
what is happening? Like I want to do this thing?

404
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:01.599
And then I started realizing, like I have fears from

405
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:05.680
my childhood where you know, I was embarrassed as something happened,

406
00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:08.279
and like, I've held onto that memory and that's holding

407
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:10.839
me back and I had to start plucking that stuff out.

408
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:13.680
And so I know that was a really long explanation,

409
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.960
but I'm so passionate about mindset because I've seen how

410
00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:19.440
it has impacted my life and I see how it

411
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:21.000
holds other women back as well.

412
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:24.680
It's an amazing thing, it really is. And again, and

413
00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:27.319
looking at the things that you've done and that you're doing,

414
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:31.799
you've created the clear goals framework, which is anachronism. So

415
00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:34.000
I would love for you to share a little more

416
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:35.680
about framework.

417
00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:36.000
Is.

418
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:42.920
So, when I was feeling called to start Transformation University,

419
00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:45.599
I'm like a type a planner type of person. I

420
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.839
love schedules and calendars and things being planned and organized,

421
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:51.279
and so naturally I started thinking about goals and what

422
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:54.200
goals I wanted to set for my business. And I

423
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:56.440
had done like the twelve week year prior to so

424
00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:58.759
I was already thinking about that like three month structure,

425
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:01.599
and I started looking yet setting smart goals. But I

426
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:04.599
felt like something was missing, right, So I started doing

427
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:07.799
research and trying to understand goals better. And there were

428
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:10.359
a few key things that I like realized were very

429
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:13.559
important in the goal setting process. So I started working

430
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:15.759
on building out goals for myself based on the things

431
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.119
that I'd learned. And as I was like writing down, Okay,

432
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:20.480
this is important and that's important, I was like, man like,

433
00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:23.400
how can I make this into something that's easy for

434
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:25.960
me to remember and dorry? I kid you not. I

435
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:27.920
had like come up with like five different things that

436
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:31.160
were important for like setting goals, and I put them

437
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:34.000
into chat GPT and I was like, give me like words,

438
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:36.200
give me some words that could be an acronym for this.

439
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:40.640
The words were like b ZW like the start of

440
00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:46.240
each like sentence chat GPT spit out clear. None of

441
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:48.039
the words that I put in was the word clear.

442
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:50.720
It was like the universe literally was like clear. So

443
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:53.039
I was like clear, Like, where did that come from?

444
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:56.279
No other suggestions, you know, chat GPT usually gives you more.

445
00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:59.000
It was that one word, and I looked at it

446
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:01.680
and I was like, hmm okay. So then I was

447
00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:04.279
looking at the list that I've made and I started thinking, okay,

448
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:06.079
well I could replace this word with that word and

449
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:10.000
like playing around, So clear is now an acronym and

450
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:11.880
I'll go through what that stands for but I've been

451
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:14.079
I started doing this process for myself and now I

452
00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:16.319
share with my clients and it's like a game changing

453
00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:19.240
way to think about goal setting. So the C stands

454
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:22.759
for your cause or your why. So when you are

455
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:25.119
thinking about setting a goal, first you start with like,

456
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:27.279
why is this goal important to me? Like why am

457
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:30.480
I even doing this? Because that like roots you into

458
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:32.839
this goal. A lot of times we think about very

459
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:37.160
surface level answers, but in speaking about entrepreneurship, like it's challenging, right,

460
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:39.519
And so if your only goal is like I want

461
00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:41.480
to make money, it's just like you know, I want

462
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:44.559
to buy a boat. When it starts to get challenging,

463
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:46.680
you're probably going to walk away from it because you

464
00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:49.920
don't have a deep enough why. Whereas for me, it's like,

465
00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:53.319
my why is I want to show my daughters that

466
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:56.680
life can be limitless and that they can achieve their dreams.

467
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:59.960
And so when things get hard, because they inevitably will,

468
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.440
so why my cause for why I'm doing this is

469
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:06.480
so deep that I can stay motivated, like even when

470
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:08.839
I don't feel like it. So that's first, right, You

471
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:10.960
got to be very clear on whatever goal you're doing,

472
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:13.920
big or small, why it's important to you. The next

473
00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:16.960
thing is the L that stands for level up, And

474
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:19.720
what that essentially says is how does this goal challenge you? Right,

475
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:22.599
whenever we set goals, they shouldn't be so hard that

476
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:25.480
we can't accomplish them, but they should stretch us a

477
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:28.079
bit and help us to step outside of our comfort zones.

478
00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:29.759
And so that's what that is about. And so you

479
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:31.880
think about that as you're setting a goal, how does

480
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:34.000
this challenge me? It cause me to level up? And

481
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:36.279
then you have the E and that stands for your

482
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:38.759
D game and that just means that you want to

483
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:41.680
be as specific as possible about the outcome so that

484
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:44.279
you know what you're working on. If you set a

485
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:46.000
health and mown as goal and you say I want

486
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:48.559
to lose weight, it's like, what does that even mean?

487
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:50.400
Do you want to lose two pounds? Do you want

488
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:52.839
to lose five pounds? When do you want to lose

489
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:55.480
that weight by? And so you're very specific on lying

490
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:59.680
out and outlining that what you're working on. Now here's

491
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:02.079
where the clear Goals framework is different from other goal

492
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:06.799
setting frameworks. The A stands for accountability accountability, Right, So

493
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:09.079
as you set this goal you're thinking about either how

494
00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:11.559
am I going to hold myself accountable? So maybe you

495
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:14.960
have some sort of daily tracker or calendar like some

496
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:17.759
way to visually measure what you're doing, or you think

497
00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:19.960
about who do I know in my network and tribe

498
00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:22.079
that I can go to to support me and hold

499
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:24.920
me accountable. And what I learned in my research was

500
00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:29.160
that just by having an accountability partner or system identify

501
00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:32.039
when you set a goal, it increases your odds of

502
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:36.119
success by forty percent. Forty percent, so when you start,

503
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:39.519
you're almost halfway there, right, So that's really a big deal,

504
00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:41.599
Like thinking about, do I have a girlfriend that I

505
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:43.599
can check in with weekly, Who's going to ask me

506
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:46.039
what I did this week for my health and wellness journey?

507
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:49.200
Can I lean on my partner like identifying that? And

508
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:51.880
then the last thing is the results, and this is

509
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:54.839
how are you tracking and how are you rewarding yourself

510
00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:57.839
when you accomplish this thing, like thinking about that in advance,

511
00:24:57.880 --> 00:24:59.279
how I'm I going to celebrate that I did this

512
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:01.359
thing that I didn't think was possible when I started.

513
00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:04.240
And so that's the clear goals framework, and you literally

514
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:06.480
go through and answer those questions for each goal that

515
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:09.599
you set and you think about a twelve week time span,

516
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:11.799
there's a process where you think about it in twelve

517
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:14.640
weeks and accomplishing that goal, and like, what actions do

518
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:16.440
I need to take weekly and daily for me to

519
00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:17.119
make this happen.

520
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:20.119
What a great way to actually start wrapping up this

521
00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:23.000
conversation because I can't believe how fast things go. Yeah,

522
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:30.240
and accountability, It's true, you're already almost halfway there. I

523
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.640
remember coaching one of my clients said to me, I

524
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:36.559
need somebody can hold me accountable. How good are you accountability?

525
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:43.839
I said, I'm a mom, which she wasn't the kids.

526
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:49.160
She goes, oh yeah, trust me, we can hold you accountable.

527
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:53.559
But it's I love how you have broken this framework.

528
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:54.680
I really do.

529
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:55.519
So.

530
00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:58.680
As we're wrapping up Dominie's what would you like to

531
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:02.440
leave our listeners it? And how may they reach out

532
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:02.640
to you?

533
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:09.079
Wow? We talked about so many things today. What's coming

534
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:12.759
up for me right now is that so many of

535
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:17.039
us sit on our goals and our dreams and the

536
00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:19.839
things that we desire, we come up with reasons why

537
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:21.759
we can't do it. You know, now it's not the

538
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:24.160
right time. All of these I don't know how to

539
00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:27.920
do it. But each of us has something that is

540
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:30.279
on our hearts, like in our bellies, like we can

541
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:32.960
feel it, we dream about it. It could be I

542
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:35.799
want to bake and you know, start selling my God.

543
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:38.359
Like it doesn't have to be something big and you

544
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:42.240
know wild, but whatever dream you have, like it deserves

545
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:44.759
to be birthed, it deserves to see the light of day.

546
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:47.359
I always tell people, like, right now, there's someone praying

547
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:49.359
for the thing that you have that maybe you're sitting

548
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:52.839
on because you're afraid. And so I would say, like,

549
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:55.839
allow that dream to come to life, right, like, honor

550
00:26:55.880 --> 00:26:58.279
that dream. It was entrusted to you for a reason.

551
00:26:58.319 --> 00:27:00.240
God saw that you were the best person to bring

552
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.319
this thing to the world. And so with that, like, yes,

553
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:07.640
it's gonna be scary. Sometimes you can always start small

554
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:09.559
with it. It doesn't have to be something that you

555
00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:12.400
just jump into, but think about what it looks like

556
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:16.480
to begin to actualize that goal. You might need some accountability, right,

557
00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:19.559
You might need to focus on your mindset and shifting

558
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:22.960
your mindset so that you can do it. But it's possible, right,

559
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:25.880
It's possible. That's what I want to leave everyone with today. Like,

560
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:28.559
don't be afraid to figure out how to bring this

561
00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:30.799
stream into the world. And as far as reaching me,

562
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:33.319
my website is probably the best place you can go

563
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:39.400
to dom Domrclifton dot com and there are free resources.

564
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:42.200
So the clear Goals framework is on my website. There's

565
00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:45.440
breathwork and meditation sessions. I'm a somatic practitioner and so

566
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:48.759
those things are really helpful for my mindset work. And

567
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:50.759
the last thing I'll say really quick is quickly is

568
00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:53.200
there's also a quiz on my homepage. It's called the

569
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:57.880
Entrepreneurial Clarity Assessment, and it's a quiz for aspiring and

570
00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:01.160
current women entrepreneurs who are having hard time in business

571
00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:03.960
to identify where they're getting stuck. So it helps you

572
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:06.680
to identify the patterns and behaviors and things that you're doing,

573
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:09.000
and then it gives you recommendations and steps that you

574
00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:11.440
can begin to take today to take action to get

575
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:13.640
out of that space. And so you can find that

576
00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:15.880
on the homepage of my website as well.

577
00:28:16.519 --> 00:28:20.480
I encourage you all please go take a look at this.

578
00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:24.000
