I'm ready for my close time. Hi, and welcome back. I'm so glad you're back here with me today. Okay, so as I'm recording this,

this is actually my birthday, August 14th. I am 48 today, which is so crazy and super exciting. And for those of you who are new to the show, I'm gonna give you a little bit of backstory for those of you that are my OGs and have been with me since day one. Thank you and please bear with me. But a lot has changed for me in the last year

that you might not be aware of. And I want to kind of reflect on it and share what it is to see if it may be there's specific things that you could rip and run with that might be able to impact you in a positive way, but also what's been happening here since this real journey began. So, all right, so we're gonna take it back for a minute.

So, my background, I grew up poor. I went to college where my mother worked, so we didn't have to pay for school. I was a lifeguard, a bartender, a waitress. I mean, I worked since I was, I don't even know, 11 years old, I had a paper route, right? So my whole life was about working hard and got into sales right out of college,

got into the wine business, then ultimately into the radio business, and then I became an equity partner in a radio company in my early 20s and killed it. I mean we knocked it out of the park. We bought a 25 million dollar company escalated revenues rapidly and sold that company for 55 million really putting my name on the map in business. But you know, Mike dropped moment. I had no confidence, but people didn't know it at the time. Cut to I left that, went to work for a publicly traded company. I was there for 14 years, was promoted three times, becoming the chief revenue officer

of the company, killing it. I mean, I was named one of the most influential women in radio in 2017. And on the outside looking in, everything was amazing. That's what people would say. I used to say I had golden handcuffs and couldn't leave even though I hated my job. Here's the truth of it. I was working side-by-side with a woman that despised me. And the longer I would turn a blind eye to her bad behavior, the worse my life got.

The more unhappy I became and the more I wanted to take a vacation to escape my day-to-day life. I don't know if you've ever felt like that. It's a crappy, crappy feeling where you're not excited when you wake up in the morning. You were at one point in time, but somehow over the years it morphed into not happy and not feeling good about yourself and dreading interactions with people, and it was bad. It was a slow change that happened over a few years period of time. But as I dialed myself down, this woman dialed herself up. Ultimately, in the end, here's what happened. Cut to the chase. At the end of 2017, the CEO that I'd worked for for 14 years became ill and he elevated his daughter to replace him

You got it my number one nemesis my number one villain the woman who had treated me so badly for years So then I got the phone call from her to come over to her office and Even though I knew she didn't like me. Everyone was clear on that. I thought you know She's really smart. Obviously. It's a huge opportunity. She's getting to run this company as a CEO. I mean, what a gift she was given, you know, she's not going to fire me, but I'm sure she's going to have some words for me about how I have to do things her way or whatever control freak stuff she had. But I really didn't think I'd get fired. Okay, so I drive three hours over to her office. I live in Miami. She's in Naples to meet with

her. I walk in, she's all smiles. Now, the one thing she didn't know is for the, about a month or two before that, I had started working intentionally on my confidence, really thinking about, okay, I have a goal. I wanna get my confidence up. Let's think about what does that look like? What steps do I need to take?

What things can I do to make this come to fruition? Because I had noticed a lack of confidence in me and I didn't like it. I didn't like who I was becoming. So I said pump the brakes, which you have the opportunity to do any point in time as well. And let's change. Let's pivot this course and put it back on course. And so I was working on that behind the scenes at home, you know, throughout my day, challenging myself to step into fear. You know, little things that could help me say, okay, I'm doing this, I'm building momentum, I'm getting stronger. Well, luckily, my timing was good. So I walk into her office, she was all smiles so happy to see me, and that's when

she dropped the bomb. She said, I can send out one of two memos. One memo said, Heather's been fired. The other one was a really beautiful memo, which was Total BS saying, we're so happy to hear Heather Monahan is going on an adventure and a journey. Let's cheer her on from the sidelines. She's leaving to do something so great and exciting. We're here to support her. It was all BS. And basically, if I wanted the beautiful memo to go out, I had to sign her non-dispiraging

gag clause, basically, so that I would never talk about my experiences at the company or about her. And if I would sign it, she'd offer me a big check as a parting gift. Well, I am not, you know, some multi-millionaire, and I'm a single mom. And so, of course, there was a part of me that wanted that check, right? I didn't know where I would get other paycheck from. In the moment, it was all happening so fast, but I knew more than anything I wanted to respect myself.

And I knew more than anything, this was an opportunity for me to create confidence within myself. And these things were popping into my mind in a split second. Like, it was more of a gut feeling, right? And always trust your gut. And so in that moment, my gut said, oh, heck no. You are not going to cave into this woman anymore.

You're done with her bullying you. You are done with this lady. So I pushed the memos back to her. And I said, I didn't write either one of these memos. Not signing either one. And if you have nothing else to say to me, I'm out of here. And after 14 years, I stood up with all the class and grace I had within me and I put a smile on my face.

And she crumbled, she turned bright red, she was flipping out, she never anticipated. I wouldn't sign that clause. And so I shifted the power in the room in that moment. And I share that with you because you have that same power and ability, If you can choose to respond and not react to people and if you can choose to do it with ease and grace and class, you will always come out on top. Now, that was not easy, right? I made it to the car before I

started bawling my eyes out because I had a non-compete, non-solicit that I had signed, which meant I couldn't work in the industry, I had expertise in for 18 months. I knew what it meant, it meant that if I made the choice I made for the next 18 months, next year and a half, I'd have to start over as a rookie somewhere to make money, to make an income, and I needed an income.

So that ride home was a nightmare. I was 43 years old, and I drove home three hours crying the whole ride. I mean, I was just a disaster. I kept thinking, I've lost everything. I've lost it all, right? But here's the thing, and this is what I want you to do. In those low moments, sometimes we let the emotion

of negativity or fear overwhelm us. It's important in those moments to stop and say, what is the one simplistic shred of fact or truth to this? Because there was no truth to me losing everything. I hadn't lost my expertise. I hadn't lost my network. I hadn't lost my health, my friends, my family. I hadn't lost my experiences.

I had all these amazing things. I had lost a paycheck. So once you distill it down to what that really simple shred of fact is, it becomes much easier to overcome. And so once I had done that, I made the decision to post on social media and let people know I had just been fired. And I wanted their help. I said, I've just been fired. If I've their help. I said, I've just been fired.

If I've ever done anything to help you, I need to hear from you now. And that post went viral and landed me on the Elvastorian show where he spoke a conviction and a truth into me that changed my life. He said, Heather, well, obviously you're writing a book. And I said, well, obviously, but I wasn't. Never hold back when you have one of these moments

where you can speak a truth or a belief into someone that rings so true to you, because you don't know how that could impact them. Him seeing that possibility for me opened my mind to the possibility it could be a truth and wouldn't, you know, it became one. So I left Elvester in that day in New York, jumped on a plane and I googled, how do you write a book? I had no idea. I had grown up the social one,

right? We all had these labels on us as kids. My sister was the smart one. I was the social one that belonged in sales. And I had hung on to that label for a long time and I decided that day I'm going to let this label go. Maybe I'm a social one that could also write a book. Maybe I don't need to be in a lane. Maybe I could just live my life lanelessly and go wherever I want and take my talents with me. And that's what I chose to do. National security experts are warning.

So I started writing and I wrote and wrote and wrote a bottle, just go to fixwollenfeet.com slash confidence. So I started writing and I wrote and wrote and wrote and then finally I got far enough I said I need someone light years ahead of me. I invested in myself and I hired an editor, someone who had

written 19 books, right? So if you're looking for someone to advise you, go to someone who's light years ahead of where you are. And yes, you're going to have to invest in, go to someone who's light years ahead of where you are. And yes, you're gonna have to invest in yourself. And yes, it'll be the best investment you'll ever make. So before I knew it, my editor, Ryan and I had my first book, Confidence Creator Done. I was so excited and I shared it with my family and the response I got was not what I was looking for.

Right? And so this goes back to when I interviewed Sarah Blakely, and if you haven't listened to that episode, check it out a couple of weeks ago, but she shares that when she started spanks, she told no one, not our family, nobody. She kept that idea so close to her vest because she didn't want anyone to talk her out of it. That was information I could have used before. I shared my book with my family. So anyhow, my mother ended up

saying she didn't want me launching it because she didn't like I was sharing, you know, with some darkness from our past. And then my sister, who's an attorney, the smart one, quote unquote, you know, she told me I'd be sued by everybody. And it just put all of this fear and doubt yet again, back into my mind. Luckily I did something smart. I reached out to my editor who's written 19 books and I said, hey, it looks like I can't publish because my family doesn't want me to. And he shared, what are you talking about? You don't think people have ever tried to talk me out of publishing my books? Heather, how many books have you, has your family published? And that was a moment

that really got my attention. They had published none. So I got his point. He'd written and published 19. They'd written and published none. Who should I be taking advice from in this situation? And it was my editor. So never take advice or direction from someone who hasn't been where you're going. Really powerful advice right there. And it worked really well for me. So I moved forward with Ryan. We published my first book, Confidence Creator, Launch the First, We Gun of Amazon, and it trumped Donald Trump for number one on the business biography list. The first we get came out. And yes, he was the president of the United States at the time. It was crazy. And I of course have the screenshot to prove that one. So, it ends up being this really risky, scary move that turned out to be this blessing and

gift that I moved forward with and I was so proud of myself. And going through that experience built tremendous confidence in me, right? Because it was so unknown, like what is this possibility? What it could do? Well, it might not do. I had no idea. Maybe one person would buy it. not do. I had no idea maybe one person would buy it, maybe thousands. I didn't know, but it turned out thousands did. And the book did incredibly well,

and then I googled Howdy Sell Books, and it said Speak, and I had spoken for 20 something years in corporate America. And so I just started speaking for companies as long as they'd buy books, until the day someone said, what's your speaker fee? And I googled and saw Gary Vaynerchuk back in 2018 was getting paid $350,000 for a 60-minute keynote. And that's when I decided to say, okay, time for my next pivot and move and change. We're gonna get into speaking business. It's much more lucrative.

And so I went all in on the speaking business and blew up my speaking business, gave my first TEDx. It was promoted to TED and translated into six languages, my speaking business took off. And then the pandemic hit and everything died overnight. So the funny thing is, or not so funny, but the interesting thing is, now I was getting into this sort of loop of, okay, failure comes, I find a way to get around it or overcome it or change from it and I get booted up again And then I build momentum and things start getting great and then failure comes and then I find it right

It became this process and so the pandemic really was very stressful and not a great time for me Me and my son were alone from both remote working from home him doing school one room, me working at a computer in the next room in a two bedroom condo, right? It was super isolating, not living my best life, but we got through it and what was interesting is, during that time, really that two-year window of 2020 to 2022, I met so many amazing people on the computer, started so many Zoom relationships

that have yielded incredible friends who have changed my life yet again. Supported me in incredible ways have strengthened my relationship with God. I mean, the things that have come from this awful time have been mind blowing. And so now looking back, I'm grateful for it, but like anything, when you're in the thick of it, when you're in the hard time, you don't know how the dots are gonna connect, and that's why you need to have faith, right?

And Steve, I think it's Steve Jobs quotes that you can only connect the dots when you look backwards, not forwards, you've gotta go through the hard times to get out the other side, so you can look back and see why it all happened. And that's sort of how I feel today is, I look back and I see how all these things were a blessing, even though they didn't feel like it in the moment. So if you're going through one of those hard times,

know that you can't see how those dots are gonna connect, but I promise you, keep moving forward, they will eventually. So okay, so all that happens, I end up writing my second book, Overcome Your Villains, I publish it with Harpercon's leadership. I was named Top 50 Keynote Speaker of the Year, 2022, but all these amazing blessings started coming my way at the end of this really hard time.

My neighbor came to me and said, I think you should sell your condo, little did she know. I drive so much with my son to school and we're constantly in traffic as Miami has blown up in the past couple of years. And what a blessing that she told me this and she gave me her realtor and he already had buyers ready. And so for the since May, we have been back and forth with more buyers and more offers and more deals and more fallouts and more letdowns and then the market changing. And I'm just excited to let you know that finally our fourth deal was the winner winner.

And we are moving in a couple weeks and I couldn't be more excited or more optimistic looking forward to this new adventure. Right, we've lived in the same place for 17 years, which is a long time. It's definitely my son's whole life. And just exciting to know that, you know, we're onto the next one, onto the next adventure, stepping into possibility, stepping into opportunity, and stepping into change. And I just see all those things as so incredible and so exciting and so good. So I hope you are stepping into possibility So I hope you are stepping into possibility. I hope you are stepping into change and you are opening your eyes to what is possible

for you moving forward. Because it's always changing and it's always there. Ready for you to grab if you're willing to go after it. Say you have a business idea, but you're not sure what to do next.

So as I mentioned, I turned 48 today and I'm big into like, I have these funny routines I like to do for any birthday. I like to look back on the last year, right? Like what did I accomplish? I'm really proud of or what did I learn from this last year that's important for me to write down and move forward with.

And then also, what am I looking forward to in this next year? And when I was reflecting on those things for 47, verse 48, you know, a couple of things come to mind. One, when I look at my life today, versus one year ago, today, my son had just gotten out of academic camp, right, because he was coming off of Zoom School, which was awful. And if you have a kid that is, you know, in the teens, you can feel me. It was so isolating, so hard for them. No sports, just, it was very hard. And so we were not in the greatest place. He was getting better, right?

He was, he was trying. He had made it through the academic camp, which I was so proud of. But things were not perfect. They were far from normal or far from perfect. But to know where he was then versus where he is now, you know, he's thriving, it's incredible the change that I've seen in him and him being able to be around friends again and have a year back in real school with real people.

And it's so amazing to have that gratitude now for these things that we used to just take for granted every day. I just took for granted, my son would go to school every day and be with friends and play sports because I had lived that That life my whole life and why wouldn't he and to have this complete hiccup or nightmare or whatever you want to call it with COVID, you know It gives an opportunity just to be grateful every day that we wake up that he can be around people his own age that he can

Interact with others and I'm so excited for him going back to school this week. So that's something that's super exciting to see his journey in the last year has been remarkable. And I'm incredibly proud of him. For me, you know, obviously when you're worried about your child, that is one of the hardest things because you can't control everything around it, you can't control really anything around it. But you just hope that you're being the best parent you can be, not knowing if you are.

Especially if you have one child, like you haven't seen this movie before, you're just hoping you're doing it right or doing it the best that you can. So that had been an issue. For me, my speaking business was picking up for sure. I had tons of Zoom events, which was great, but obviously in-person events are my favorite, and starting to see the transition that's been occurring, building momentum to more in-person, has been, all of this makes me so much more hopeful for the future, so much more excited about the future and what's to come, which is amazing. And then my book with HarperCollins Leadership Overcome Your Villains a year ago, that book was not out, you know, now today it is, right? So that's a huge accomplishment that I'm super proud of. I constantly read the reviews and the DMs I get from you

and I'm just so grateful for the feedback that I get and to know that I can play a small part in someone's life in helping them to embrace fear or tackle change or go for more. It's an incredible feeling that when I was back in corporate America, I didn't feel and to know today that I do work that gets to help people, it means the world to me. So I don't know what you're doing right now. If you're not feeling fulfilled, keep looking because there are opportunities out there for you to find something more fulfilling. I don't know what that looks like yet. And I didn't know what it was for me a decade ago. I had no idea. I would work ridiculous hours in corporate America and then

work nights and weekends for a charity trying to find that fulfillment. Now today I found a way to merge it all together. Again, it didn't happen overnight, it happened after a series of crazy events, but you've got to have faith that you'll be led to that right place and that things will work out because I truly believe they will and I surely see that they are for me. So just keep going, keep taking the chances, keep listening to yourself and keep moving forward. So some of the things that I did in the last year, I'll never forget, it was December of last year, so it was still 47.

And I just decided I needed to clear, I wanted some space in my life. So I decided to clear out so much, just purge as much stuff as I could out of my house to make space. And when you do that for some people, it provides a level of clarity, just a level of space where you can think

more clearly. It really helped me a lot. It helped bring me some clarity. So just an interesting exercise for you to try possibly. You know, when you have that space around you, your mind has that space, you welcome that clarity. It's a great hack that if you haven't tried yet, purge your house and see what clarity you get from it.

Okay, get rid of some old stuff so you can make space for something new and better. That's what I did back in December. And then January came and I was in an awful court case with legal situation with my ex-husband and you know, that was very negative, right? Like didn't love that. And when she saw me, she said, oh my gosh, you don't seem like yourself. You just like at a low vibration. She said, talk to my energy healer.

And I called her energy healer, and I actually did a whole episode on this. So go back and check out the episode with Tanya Lester. It's amazing. And that woman changed my life. I mean, literally within days of meeting with her, my court case was wrapped up with my ex

and things were resolved out of left field. I mean, I was shocked by it and things just got a lot better and there was a weight lifted off of me. So, I know that this isn't for everybody, but for me, it offered me a lot of healing and just a sense that my energy was vibrating at a higher level and we are all energy and we are all vibrating at some level and attracting things to us, just being aware of, what does that look like for you?

What level are you vibrating at? What are you attracting to yourself? And there are things you can do to change it. And I live that and I preach it and go back and listen to that episode because it is fact, it's my truth. And if it can help me, it might be able to help you. But definitely check it out.

And so I went through that process, which was happened really quickly and really changed things for the better. And then, you know, suddenly, as I said, my neighbor was telling me I should move and then I was further purging more things out of my home. And, you know, it's been as up and down rollercoaster of things I didn't expect,

but welcoming these things into my life, knowing I don't know what this looks like on the other side, right? But there's a possibility of something that's better and being willing to let go of what's okay to go for what could be great. That's the whole thing. That's the whole key about growth and about, you know, possibility and improving your life.

So I've definitely stepped into these things. I've definitely chosen to see fear as a green light that means go and move into it faster and faster. And I hope that some of these things that I've gone through can potentially inspire you to go for more, inspire you to let go of what's not serving you. So you can grab on to that next thing that can take you to that next level or open that next door for you and be willing to know there is a possibility for more out there if you choose to and want to go for it. So I want you to, I'm hopeful that you will.

I'm so grateful for how far I've come in the last year. I can't even put it into words. I'm so excited about the possibility for the next year ahead. It's, I mean, literally I'm freaking out. I'm so excited. It's going to be major. I just have this feeling. possibility for the next year ahead. It's I mean literally I'm freaking out I'm so excited. It's gonna be major. I just have a feeling this is my best year yet I'm putting the intention out there and it's gonna happen. So what's next?
