We’ve all heard the term before, “Trust is the Process.” But it doesn’t seem to matter how many times we hear this; it always seems to be hard to understand. The idea of trusting the process, really means letting go of control and the expectations on the outcome and allowing yourself to focus on the present and what you are doing at this moment. It means being relaxed enough at any moment to take effective action when needed or do nothing when that is most helpful.When we think about trusting the process, we should think about trusting ourselves. Trusting that we have the tools and knowledge that will guide the outcome into exactly what it should be as it is all a part of our journey.In this episode, we:

• Define the word process – a series of steps pr action guided towards a specific outcome. In knowing that the process is in place, there is a certain sense of understanding that should give us ease. So, if you take the simple words, ‘trust the process,’ you get the idea that no matter what comes along, the process will teach you what you need to learn if you are willing to listen, pause, and believe something good will come out of the chaos.
• Learn that the process doesn’t mean it’s easy, it’s just necessary.
• When you stop forcing the process, you stop trying the control the outcome and you’ll find that the result is what it should have been.
• Trusting also brings clarity and great depth of understating.

The world’s most successful people are champions. They don’t give up when things get tough, and they keep fighting for what is important to them. In order to be successful in any endeavor, one must have an attitude that is consistently positive and optimistic. Not only that, but you must also know that anything worth achieving requires hard work, dedication, sacrifice and unyielding persistence.

• Winning is not about a single game. it's about repeated performance over a long haul.
• Winners never give up, never accept defeat, and work as long and as hard as it takes to get the job done right. That is the mindset we need to succeed in life.
• View the glass as half full - tell yourself how you can get it done.
• You have the winner's DNA...take massive action and never give up! Remember, you've got this!
• To be a champion, compete; to be a great champion, compete with the best; but to be the greatest champion, compete with yourself.

In the first episode of the Unbalanced Boss Podcast, I take you behind my “why” for finally creating and launching the podcast, as well as launching the Unbalanced Boss Media Group – www.unbalancedboss.com. I also talk about my hope for opening up now and why I chose to focus on a certain group of women. I want women over 35 to feel seen and heard! I want us to realize that we are power and as women we owe it to ourselves to champion ourselves just as hard if not more than we champion everyone one else. I share some of my recent life changes and how the path to healing includes the unpacking of so many boxes; boxes that I tucked so far away I forgot that I had to deal with them in order to begin working on being whole. In this episode of the podcast, we really touch on how we can work better on self-love to stay in our alignment, or in our purpose!

Here are the five habits that we discuss and why it is essential to practice this so we can stay in our true powers as women!

Know Thyself and Know Who You Are - your first love should be yourself. Know your needs. Know your desires. Know your dreams. Know your values. Know your priorities. Know yourself basically.

Make yourself a priority. Sometimes we become so focused on other people that we lose sight of our relationship with ourselves. When we're not taking care of ourselves, it's hard to take care of anyone else. Your health is important, and so is your happiness. If you want to be there for all the people who need you, then make sure you're taking care of yourself first!

Practice creating boundaries – this is not geared towards keeping others out but keeping you in alignment with you. Know your non-negotiables in relationships. Things you won’t tolerate. Things you don’t want to compromise on. Things you don’t want in your life or in a relationship.

Have friends or a support system you can turn to that holds you up and fuels you. But you also have to be careful about who you allow into your life. Surround yourself with people who care and want the best for you. People who are positive and uplifting while also holding you accountable.

Stop the over giving and accommodating. Over giving usually comes from not seeing your own value and seeking approval. We believe the more we give, the more love we will get back. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work like that.
