I'm ready for my close-up. Hi and welcome back. I'm so glad you're back here with me today. Thank you! Okay, so a lot of stuff is happening. Some good, some not so good. I'll start off with a not so good, so that you know you're not alone if you've been having a tough time. So here's what happened based on my memory which is of course memories are distorted at times but we're only
Starting point is 00:01:34 looking back two weeks. I'm hoping that it's not that distorted yet. So a couple of weeks ago I had my board meeting for HealthLength our quarterly board meeting which went great. And on my way over, they are on the other side of the state for me. So I have to take a road called Alligator Alley to get there, which I've driven millions of times. It takes a couple hours to cross. When I was driving over to the board meeting halfway through the ride, the highway
Starting point is 00:02:01 was shut down for a horrible accident, which is scary and awful and sad. And so I had to take the side road, whatever. Okay, make it longer. I go to the meetings, I'm coming back the next afternoon. I'm driving back. And there was some kind of racing troop, or I don't even know what you would say, but there were really beautiful high end cars
Starting point is 00:02:24 and they were racing one another and there was probably 10 in a pack and there was six different packs that went by. So on the way back, a couple hours back, there was these crazy racing cars and they ended up, one of them got in an accident and half the front end was on the highway and when I tell you, my nerves were rattled,
Starting point is 00:02:44 that's an understatement. So it was end-up being this really hard drive back home for me I tell you, my nerves were rattled. That's an understatement. So it was end up being this really hard drive back home for me. And I've never had that happen to me before. I'm always a super confident driver and nothing really rattles me. I mean, I feel bad if people are in accidents, but I don't obsess about it or think about it. Well, I couldn't stop thinking about these race cars and how dangerous it was. And I felt like an old person and really started obsessing about it or think about it. Well, I couldn't stop thinking about these race cars and how dangerous it was.
Starting point is 00:03:05 And I felt like an old person and really started obsessing about it. And as I was driving back, I could feel myself getting so nervous and really getting anxiety. And again, that's never happened to me in my life before. So, you know, I slowed down my breathing. I ended up getting off the highway and walking around for a minute. I got a water. right? I did all the things that I thought I should do to calm down. I got back in the car and it came right back again. It ends up being a really hard drive home. I get home. I'm fine. Okay. Fast forward to the next day, thinking this is just an isolated incident. Well, the point is, is that now for the past two weeks, since that situation, I sporadically will be driving and
Starting point is 00:03:45 getting anxiety and feel really nervous out of nowhere. So I thought to myself, this has got to be more than just what's going on with this car situation that I saw, you know, these race cars and that I felt scared. So I got really still and started thinking what's really bothering you. And I kept asking myself that question, what's really going on here? And it came to me, which was, I remember last year thinking, okay, Q3, Q4, 2021, my speaking business is gonna be blowing up. It'll become 100% back in person, which I get paid a lot more
Starting point is 00:04:21 for in person than I do virtual. And I enjoy being in-person. I like people. I'm an extrovert. I don't like having to be home and I saluted all the time. It's not my thing. However, from my work, everything has been virtual
Starting point is 00:04:34 for over a year and a half now. And I've had one in-person speaking engagement. One, since the pandemic has gone to phase two or whatever it is. I don't even know anymore. So I started thinking about this, you know, what's really bothering me and what's really bothering me is I had,
Starting point is 00:04:50 I created a hope or an expectation that come Q3, Q4 of 2021. I would be back, you know, jumping on planes, healthy, flying around, doing live events and loving it. And I will say up until a couple of weeks ago, it did seem that things were going that way. But that I mean, it seemed like, you know, I was getting booked for a lot of in person events. I had a lot of stuff on my calendar now that had come to, it looked like, you know, I had contracts were coming over, everything was happening.
Starting point is 00:05:22 And then two weeks ago, really aligned with this whole situation that happened with driving all of a sudden I started getting cancellations. And what's happened is with this wave of the delta, you know, whatever variant people are getting really nervous for fall events again. And I'm not saying everyone, right? There's, this is not about judging. I'm just sharing where I'm at with my business and the stress that I'm going through right now. So a number of live events that I had were canceled for September,
Starting point is 00:05:55 October and November over the last three weeks. And I hadn't really been sitting down and thinking about it until I started asking myself the question, what's really wrong? And at the same time, this is so crazy about two weeks ago, a soul cycle, which is where I work out, announced that our studio would be going to max 50% capacity. And here's why you're probably thinking, why is that a big deal? Well, it just felt like one more sign that things aren't getting better. They're getting worse, right? Because when we first started spinning after the pandemic, we were on a rooftop and it was beautiful and we were socially distanced.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Then they put us in a warehouse and we were still socially distanced but it was getting more normal. Then you could only go to spin if you wore a mask. Then they put us back in the studio at 50% capacity. Then it went to 100% capacity. Then it went to no mask. And now it's back to masks and 50% capacity.
Starting point is 00:06:47 So I feel like, all right, wait a minute, things are unwinding again. Things were progressively getting better and better. And I was so optimistic and excited. Now again, I wasn't sitting around intentionally processing this stuff. This is only now the number of reflecting because I started getting such bad anxiety.
Starting point is 00:07:03 I had to ask myself what's going on. So I just consciously didn't even realize all of this stuff was happening, but as my workout situation started unraveling, as all my live events started canceling, as, you know, all of these things that I thought were going to be so different for right now, and seeing that things aren't turning out the way that I thought. And things here, there is another variable, this variant that nobody expected. And for some people, maybe it's not impacting them, but for my business, you know, it happens to be. And it just felt as I sat there asking myself what's really wrong, I got it. It just felt like I was so hopeful things were getting better. They did start getting much better. And now here we are, they're
Starting point is 00:07:45 not getting better anymore. And it just that rollercoaster feeling of just being completely out of control and not knowing how to project, anticipate and manage business going forward felt really out of control is the only way I can articulate this. So as I sat there thinking myself, okay, so I'm feeling like everything's out of control. And then I saw this whole racing situation on the highway and then the car accident that really was jarring to me. And then I had such stressful ride home,
Starting point is 00:08:17 the rest of that ride home, that it didn't just disappear overnight. Now, here, gosh, I don't wanna screw with you and make you feel nervous driving. Please don't take this on. However, I thought to Now, here, gosh, I don't want to screw with you and make you feel nervous driving. Please don't take this on. However, I thought to myself, okay, I know I've had anxiety or stress at different parts of my life, right?
Starting point is 00:08:31 And I know that in moments it's fine, that's no big deal, it's totally normal. However, you don't want it to get a death grip on you and drive you crazy and consume you so you need to take action steps to address it. And this really goes back to my new book Overcome Your Billings. It's all about the three step process to overcome any adversity, back beliefs, action, knowledge.
Starting point is 00:08:52 So number one, I identified the belief, right? This belief that I can't drive. I'm too nervous to drive. Everything's out of control. That's not true, right? That was a belief that was occurring in the moment because I saw that accident, because those race cars and because a lot of things
Starting point is 00:09:08 in my life seemed to be going in the complete opposite of what I had projected anticipated and planned on and really expected to happen, which I should know better, can't expect things to go one certain way. But when I really got to the core belief here, I realized none of this is true. It's just all in my mind, and it's all
Starting point is 00:09:27 about this fear of being out of control. So the more I could process that and look at it for what it was, it helped. And then I say to myself, OK, belief identified, I dismantled the belief, the false belief, I got to fact, which makes me feel a little bit better. Now what action can I take? And for me, I just think, OK, I need to drive. Right? I'm like, hello, get in the car and drive. And I also googled
Starting point is 00:09:49 and researched this, and apparently it's a thing that when people go through really stressful events or see a car accident that this can trigger something within them, literally it did with me. And so I just thought to myself, it's like a little kid. If you fall off a bike and never get back on, you're never going to ride a bike again. And that's not okay. So I need to step into fear. I know that's the answer. And that will help me to minimize it to see it was never real. However, I'm sure as you know,
Starting point is 00:10:17 when you get anxiety or really nervous, it's hard sometimes to calm your body. So I was working on breathing. I started pulling out my headspace app again. If you guys don't have this, please download it. It's so good. I think there's a free version and a paid version, but it's super helpful in regards to daily meditation,
Starting point is 00:10:36 which I am not created. I'm definitely not created at that rate. So I'm having to immerse myself in all these things that aren't, I'm not the best at, which is funny. And so I started pulling out my meditation app again, pulling out, I have hypnosis tracks that I was using back when I worked in corporate America with that villain, and I was super stressed out all the time.
Starting point is 00:10:56 So I'm like pulling all these things from out in my recycle bin that I used to use when I was back in corporate America, super stressed. And now I'm using them to help calm me down. In this instance, and when I was back in corporate America, super stressed. And now I'm using them to help calm me down. In this instance, and so I know it will get better when I keep focusing on that. So these action steps that I'm taking are going to help, and I know over time it will improve. And then finally, the three step process beliefs, action, and knowledge, and then what knowledge
Starting point is 00:11:20 are you surrounding yourself with to help support yourself. And so I kept researching more and more about, you know, how to manage really high levels of stress. And, you know, it's just, it's not unique to me. That's for sure. And it's not unique to this pandemic either. And then the other point is that we've all been living through a pandemic for a year and a half. And there is some level of, you know,
Starting point is 00:11:44 everyone can handle stress, but then when it goes on for really prolonged periods of time, you feel a little worn down or you're a little bit more vulnerable or susceptible to stressing yourself out too much because it's just been going on for a while. And I think all these things contributed. And I'll tell you that it's funny. Yesterday I had a great day and driving was not a problem at all. And everything was good.
Starting point is 00:12:07 And I felt like, oh, thank gosh, this is amazing. And then I woke up this morning just feeling a lot of stress. And I thought, wow, it's so interesting how from day to day, things can change so drastically. Again, I know this isn't permanent. I know it's temporary. I know if I keep doing the next right thing, it's going to pass. it's going to get better.
Starting point is 00:12:26 If I ask for help when I need it, write all these tools that we know we have, but it's just, it's so, it's so interesting to me at 47 years old to realize how things we take for granted like driving or just not feeling stressed out can suddenly change based upon things that are happening around us that we have no control over. So that reminded me, focus on the things you can control, focus on gratitude, focus on the positives, focus on working out, focus on deep breathing, focus on knowing that other times in your life, you went through really hard moments.
Starting point is 00:13:02 They might not have been just like this one, but you survived it, right? It was temporary. This two-shell pass. I know my heart of hearts, all of that is true. However, it is different right when you're like knee deep in it, and it's just, okay, focus on, you know, taking an inch by inch life's a cinch. That's what I was saying to myself the other day. I was saying that, and you are safe. Everything is good, really trying to just really remind myself these basic truths that I know in theory, but for whatever reason when I was getting stressed out, I was forgetting about them. I hope you can relate to that. So then, as I mentioned, I had a ton of on-site live speaking engagements cancel and it happened really quickly. And I was so optimistic because I was getting so many booked and then I have my this is my second in person speaking engagement happening this week
Starting point is 00:13:52 super excited for it but I did just get a call from the woman who's in charge and she told me she said Heather I just want to let you know we're changing the venue because of COVID, so many people are scared to be in person and they want to zoom in instead. She said, but I'm hoping you'll still be able to come and will max the room out to 50 people. We'll have everyone socially distanced. And I said, yeah, I know, of course, I'll be there and looking forward to it, but it was kind of, it was sort of a bummer right to hear that I was so excited, you know, maybe
Starting point is 00:14:23 this would be a little bit larger, like more back to what I remember, you know, in 2019. And no, it was unwinding. But still, it'll be a positive because I do get to be in person. And I am super excited about that because it's been a while. National security experts are warning.

So I have excited, it's gonna be a challenge
Starting point is 00:18:14 because now I've become so conditioned to doing everything on Zoom, which is so crazy. But like anything, when you haven't done it for a while, you feel like you're starting over, but you're starting over with experience, and it will get better, and there will be some nerves, but I'll choose to see them as excitement, not nerves, and I am excited for it. So, hoping that things are going well for you this week, I also wanted to share. This was sort of interesting. As you know, my first book, Confidence Creator, I did the audio version. Of course, I did the audio version. It was my book.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Why wouldn't I, right? Well, back then, I didn't have a podcast. Back then, I wasn't on air all the time, the way I have been now for the last two years. So what was funny is when I signed with HarperCone's leadership, I assumed I would be the voice of the book Overcome Your Villains. Well, come to find out you have to audition that not every author gets to be the voice of the book Overcome Your Villains. Well, come to find out you have to audition
Starting point is 00:19:05 that not every author gets to be the voice. So I called my friend Kendra Hall because she's been where I want to go. She is an author for HarperCollins Leadership and she did the audio version. And I said, what do I, what advice can you give me? They want me to audition. I don't know what to do.
Starting point is 00:19:20 And she said, just be yourself. And don't go too fast. Super simple. And so I took her advice. I sent it in, I got it. Well, this is crazy. So my first book, Competence Creator, when I was working with a company called Scribes
Starting point is 00:19:32 to help me self-publish and they sent me to this one recording location. I mentioned this a couple weeks ago and I felt very uncomfortable there. I didn't like it and I ended up walking out, which I'm so glad I did that, right? Because if you don't feel safe, you don't feel comfortable, you're not going to be your most creative best self ever.
Starting point is 00:19:50 That's the way it is. So always remove yourself. Trust your instinct. Listen to yourself, right? This is not for me. I'm out of here. So I left, fast forward to HarperCone's leadership, sends me a note. Okay, Heather, you've got the green light to do the audio version. We're super excited.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Here's the location we want you to go. What dates work for you? And I noticed it's that place I walked out of that I didn't like, but I thought, okay, be open-minded. This is a couple years have gone by. It could be new people. It could be everything. The vibe could be different. I'm different. Right? Who knows. I'm going to try to be open-minded and positive and not put too much concern to it right now. Well what ends up happening is they call the schedule me and the place remembered me and remembered I walked out so I get a call from HarperCons leadership. Oh, apparently you didn't like the recording studio or the people or whatever and you know we're a little concerned and I was concerned because I didn't want to upset at you know
Starting point is 00:20:43 new to HarperCons leadership. I didn't want to upset at, you know, new to Harper Cons leadership. I didn't want to upset them, but it was true, right? I didn't like it and I didn't feel good there. Thankfully, they said, is there somebody else you would like us to consider to record your book and who did your first one? And that's when, oh my gosh, all the lights went on in my head. I was so excited because my first book, what I ended up doing was I worked in the radio business on in my head. I was so excited because my first book, what I ended up doing was I worked in the radio business for over 20 years and in my Emmy I have a bunch of radio stations here that I ran for 14 years, right? So I know all these people really well. I called one of my old stations. I said, hey,
Starting point is 00:21:17 is there any chance I could record my audio book with you guys whenever it works for your schedule? You know, it would mean the world to me. They set it up one of my really talented producers actually did it for me every day after work for a week. So until we got it done, I felt super comfortable, super happy. It was great, right? And back then, I had never, I wasn't doing a podcast, right? I didn't, I didn't have any experience in this. So it was so wonderful to have someone I trusted with me, someone who I knew had my best interest at heart and it really helped. So I told HarperCollins leadership, I'd love it. If I could do the recording with my old producer, Scotty, he did my first one. He's incredibly talented. And I promise this will be off the charts good. And they
Starting point is 00:22:01 said yes. So this past week, I have been recording in studio with Scotty every day. And it's been great. And it's one of those funny things where the first time I did, I was still a little nervous, right? I didn't know how I would sound or how it would come out. But this time, I'm going in, I've already done an audible book before, Confidence Creator. I've had a podcast now for two years, so that's a lot of being behind the mic, being on your toes, coming up with things on your own, not scripted, which I think is super helpful. And then Harper Cons leadership said to me,
Starting point is 00:22:39 how they're we're gonna give you creative flexibility with the audio book. And I said, so you're basically telling me I can do what I want. And they said, well, basically, as long as we get it back and it sounds good, yeah. So what I did, I'm super excited for you to hear this. And I told Scotty about, you know, Harper Collins leadership sent him what they wanted me to read. But then I told him, listen, I listened to the David Goggins book.
Starting point is 00:23:02 And one of the cool things he did, I don't think he did the audible version of the book, but at the end of every chapter, he'd do a like cut to behind the scenes. Here's what's happening right now, because I actually wrote this book now. It's over a year ago, right, that I really wrote it and probably even longer. So some of this stuff, there's more information that's been updated since then, so I thought it would be cool to add that in. So I told Scotty, I said, listen, I'll read each chapter, give me a moment to take a breath, and then I'm going to go behind the scenes and let the reader know what's happening now.
Starting point is 00:23:34 So I did the first chapter, I cut to behind the scenes, and I talked about, you know, my opinion on what I had written and, you know, what had changed and what was happening, and I stopped. And I said, okay, that's chapter one and the behind scenes were good. And Scotty said to me, wait a minute, where do you have this stuff written down for behind the scenes? I said, oh, I didn't write anything down. I just thought it would be cool to read the chapter because I haven't read the book now in a couple of months, read the chapter, and then just speak to whatever comes to my heart and mind, right? Talk about, oh, this is what stuck out to me, or gosh, it's so funny that this was a year ago because here's what's happened since then.
Starting point is 00:24:12 I said, I just figured it would be better if I did it on the fly as just the real me versus scripting something out. And he loved it. And I loved it. And it was so funny also because I had this big idea in my mind that there was one chapter I was really going to struggle with reading. And I decided that was going to be awful and I was not going to be able to do it. However, it did not go that way.
Starting point is 00:24:38 I was able to get through that chapter that I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to read. But at the end of the book, the last chapters where I had a breakdown, I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to read. But at the end of the book, the last chapters where I had a breakdown, I was bawling and I didn't realize that I was going to respond that way. It was so incredibly emotional for me to read that chapter and it just, wow, I wasn't prepared for it. So it was kind of interesting that in your mind, you plan for these things like you think you know what's gonna happen and So often it is never the way that you foresee Some of it was much easier than I thought and then that one chapter was much harder than I thought about and maybe it's because I was intentionally
