Your Weekly Wake-Up with AP

If lately you've been feeling like you're THE WORST founder/ entrepreneur/ creative/ leader/ parent/ friend

– chances are your inner critic's volume is up way too loud.

In coaching we call this

.

It's hard to produce excellent work when you're healing, exhausted, uninspired, ungrateful, short on time, or full of regret because you cut your bangs.

Regardless of why

you feel like you are THE WORST _______ I’m here to tell you

.

🔎 Let’s test this...

Set timer for 3 mins + write down the most impactful sh*t you made happen in 2023.

Look at what you

👏

Examples: Increased profit by 30%, created true team alignment, successfully executed strategy, consistently created high-quality work, published a book, birthed a human.

Look at what you

📓

Examples: OKR’s, go to market strategies, rest, self-care, personal values, vegan cooking, meditation, that you should not cut your own bangs.

Look at what you

🐛 🦋

Examples: Sober, aware, self-compassionate, openly queer, embodied, patient, a true leader.

Once 3 mins are up, read the facts

, and allow the data to illuminate the truth of your personal + professional magnificence.

Cut the BS Challenge: Trust the facts

Trusting the truth of our inner + outer accomplishments can be tough. Our saboteur loves to keep us small, distracted, and shameful. Only when we pause, get present, and look at the data can we discover just how impactful we can be.

Take Action: Share your coaching exercise discoveries with someone who is worthy of hearing your story. Only when we step into community and invite accountability can we heal, lead, and scale with ease.

I am obsessed with music and audio books.

Other than the first + last hour of the day, when I’m teaching, or w/ clients, I’m listening to music or an audio book.

My Sept playlist includes: Chromatics, Elvis, Cher, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Italian songs and more!Click Here to Enjoy

This week, I'm re-listening to What You Do Is Who You Are by Ben Horowitz of a16z.

This book is for deep-feeling founders, leaders, & creatives who know deep in their bones that the work they're doing means more than just doing great work.

The narration is exceptional and if you love 90's hip hop you're in for an extra treat.

I'd love your feedback on these newsletters.
