ISSA Woman Evolve Recap Part II , Evolve With Me Sis

Speaker: 00:00:00

You're listening to the

Talk Your Sass show.

2

: 00:00:02

I'm your host, Jen Talks Tech.

3

: 00:00:04

We're back with another episode.

4

: 00:00:07

I've been away from the podcast for a

little minute just because It's really,

5

: 00:00:13

I've just been doing like a life edit.

6

: 00:00:15

I'm going to explain more

what that is later, but women

7

: 00:00:20

evolve, has life evolving.

8

: 00:00:23

Okay.

9

: 00:00:24

, last episode I talked about my experience.

10

: 00:00:28

It's with Women Evolve and this is going

to be a Women Evolve recap part two.

11

: 00:00:34

More about how Women Evolve, it going

to the Women Evolve conference has

12

: 00:00:43

impacted my life more so than, , in

the last episode, we talked more

13

: 00:00:47

about likes, dislikes, faves.

14

: 00:00:50

Now we're talking about how Women Evolve.

15

: 00:00:55

The conference has me evolving.

16

: 00:00:58

And so I needed a couple of weeks to

really digest this and really think about

17

: 00:01:05

this, , because women evolve was a lot and

it was definitely very impactful, , for

18

: 00:01:13

me, for I'm sure the 40 other, the 39.

19

: 00:01:19

Thousand 999 other women that went to it.

20

: 00:01:24

Y'all see those quick mats?

21

: 00:01:25

Listen.

22

: 00:01:26

, yeah.

23

: 00:01:27

All the other women that went

as well, I'm sure it was, I'm

24

: 00:01:30

sure they're still unpacking.

25

: 00:01:31

I'm sure they're still, , reflecting

on the experience, letting it soak in,

26

: 00:01:37

letting it sink in as we all should.

27

: 00:01:39

And so, I took a little time to

do that, , and to really gather my

28

: 00:01:44

thoughts since being, at Woman Evolved.

29

: 00:01:48

conference.

30

: 00:01:49

So I would say ever since coming back

from the conference, I've been hearing

31

: 00:01:55

God telling me to simplify everything.

32

: 00:01:58

And that's really been the, the theme.

33

: 00:02:02

So I would, I would even say,

I know I started this, this

34

: 00:02:06

year off with my theme word.

35

: 00:02:09

I pick a theme word for every year.

36

: 00:02:12

And my, , sometime I picked two.

37

: 00:02:15

So really it was just about Execution,

that was my execution and yeah, it

38

: 00:02:22

was my theme word for this year, but

ever since coming back from Women

39

: 00:02:29

Evolve, I would say my theme word has

shifted into simplicity and Simplicity

40

: 00:02:37

has been doing an evolution on me.

41

: 00:02:40

, I'm just, I'm trying to simplify

everything in every area of my life.

42

: 00:02:46

So with business, , with content creation,

it has really allowed me to have clarity.

43

: 00:02:55

The simplification of those things in

my mind has allowed me to have way more

44

: 00:03:01

clarity and move with way more clarity.

45

: 00:03:04

And I'm so grateful for that.

46

: 00:03:06

I will say that that's my biggest.

47

: 00:03:09

Take away or the biggest

impact Women Evolved has had on

48

: 00:03:14

me, , thus far from coming back.

49

: 00:03:17

My mind is so clear now.

50

: 00:03:20

, not that I didn't have clarity before, but

I have so much clarity in the direction

51

: 00:03:26

and the decision making, , part of

business and content creation and sharing

52

: 00:03:32

my ideas and sharing my thoughts and.

53

: 00:03:36

Processes and mental models and all

of those things are really things

54

: 00:03:41

that God has been telling me to do.

55

: 00:03:44

And...

56

: 00:03:46

It just seemed very overwhelming.

57

: 00:03:48

, I didn't really have clear direction.

58

: 00:03:51

I didn't have insight.

59

: 00:03:53

And so I was, I had been

praying for that for a while.

60

: 00:03:56

And so now I definitely feel like there

has been a huge shift in my mindset,

61

: 00:04:04

, ever since focusing simplicities.

62

: 00:04:09

So the simplicity has brought

along with it clarity.

63

: 00:04:13

I do think, those two go hand in hand.

64

: 00:04:16

And so, , that has been a major

shift for me, like I said.

65

: 00:04:21

And so, , the other thing that I

was saying about women evolve, , and

66

: 00:04:26

coming back from women evolve, I feel.

67

: 00:04:30

A lot more grace for myself.

68

: 00:04:35

, I would say before, before women

evolved, I would women evolve.

69

: 00:04:42

I don't know why I keep

calling it women evolved.

70

: 00:04:44

I guess it's because it's after

the facts and I do feel like

71

: 00:04:47

we evolved those who went.

72

: 00:04:50

So I, for me, it's like, oh, it's

after the fact we evolved child.

73

: 00:04:55

So I will say that, . Ever since coming

back, I have allowed myself, given

74

: 00:05:03

myself way more grace for the things

that I am not doing, that I want to do.

75

: 00:05:11

And I think that has always been a

struggle for me and I have, I have

76

: 00:05:16

continued to evolve in that area and

not putting so much pressure on myself

77

: 00:05:23

and not putting so much, , focus

Missteps, failures, setbacks, , and

78

: 00:05:30

when I don't do something that I want

to do, let's say manage my time, let's

79

: 00:05:35

say, you know, I missed a couple of

weeks, not putting out an episode.

80

: 00:05:39

I had, I decided to go back to

bi weekly episodes because weekly

81

: 00:05:44

episodes just wasn't cutting it.

82

: 00:05:46

And so for me, , and I know that

that's what the quote unquote experts.

83

: 00:05:51

, people who are high, have

high rank podcasts, people who

84

: 00:05:56

are killing it in this space.

85

: 00:05:58

They're saying weekly episodes, the

more you can do, the more whatever,

86

: 00:06:02

but like that type of pressure

and hustle culture, it really is

87

: 00:06:07

not fitting into everybody's life.

88

: 00:06:09

And I have, I've been giving

myself a ton of grace as far as

89

: 00:06:15

yes, I want to be consistent.

90

: 00:06:16

Yes.

91

: 00:06:16

I'm striving for consistency.

92

: 00:06:19

But I have to acknowledge and celebrate.

93

: 00:06:23

Okay.

94

: 00:06:23

Yeah.

95

: 00:06:23

I might still be in a bi weekly

podcast, but am I, have I been

96

: 00:06:28

consistent in the bi weekly podcast?

97

: 00:06:30

That's just an example.

98

: 00:06:31

Have I been consistent when I said

I was going to post three times a

99

: 00:06:35

week on said platform and I may have

wanted to post four times a week, but

100

: 00:06:41

if I posted three, a win is a win.

101

: 00:06:44

So I, , I'm super grateful and

thankful for that grace, that

102

: 00:06:49

I've just been feeling over the

last month of, , celebrating.

103

: 00:06:55

small wins again and giving myself grace

in small wins, even though it might

104

: 00:07:02

not have, I might not have achieved

everything or the full goal or whatever.

105

: 00:07:07

I should still celebrate and

acknowledge that within myself.

106

: 00:07:11

Also, , one of the things that

I talked about in the last.

107

: 00:07:15

Episode was form.

108

: 00:07:18

, I believe it was the first

night, which was Thursday.

109

: 00:07:22

I feel like of women evolve.

110

: 00:07:25

Um Sarah talked about form.

111

: 00:07:29

And I would say for the last 3 to 4

years, I had really struggled with.

112

: 00:07:37

, I did a ton of work on learning, coaching,

learning how to build a coaching business,

113

: 00:07:43

learning how to build a coaching practice,

all these things, , how to monetize your

114

: 00:07:49

information, your, intellectual property.

115

: 00:07:53

And most of the information, most of

the expert advice, most of the tips.

116

: 00:08:00

Most of the, most of the knowledge

that was out there, people were

117

: 00:08:03

saying, be a coach, create courses.

118

: 00:08:07

And when she started talking about

form, it really hit me because that's,

119

: 00:08:13

I had been feeling for a long time,

struggling against that because that

120

: 00:08:16

is not the, the, the way or the form or

the format that I felt was best for me.

121

: 00:08:25

To deliver my information, to have my

business model, and because I didn't

122

: 00:08:31

really see a lane or I didn't really

see, a kind of like a role model or

123

: 00:08:36

example out there that matched what I

saw in my head, I was kind of following

124

: 00:08:42

a road map or a blueprint of what was

already out there, even though it was

125

: 00:08:45

not aligning with me, and I would say

this year, I've really like Stuck with

126

: 00:08:53

that and have not have been pulling away

from that direction and aligning with

127

: 00:08:59

what I have in my head, even though I

don't know what to call it, even though I

128

: 00:09:03

might not know the format, even though I

might not have the blueprint and I just.

129

: 00:09:07

I just felt really good about that.

130

: 00:09:09

So when she started talking about

form, it really aligned with me.

131

: 00:09:12

And when I say everything has been

falling into place with how I'm supposed

132

: 00:09:19

to be moving in the space of , creating

digital products, assets, whatever,

133

: 00:09:28

being an informationpreneur as, as one

of my favorite people online that I

134

: 00:09:33

can't remember her name right now, cause

I've been following her for a minute.

135

: 00:09:36

, but just leaving it at that, if

it's not defined, it's not defined

136

: 00:09:40

if it's not, if it, if it has a new

form or a new format, if it's never

137

: 00:09:45

been done before, that's fine too.

138

: 00:09:47

That's cool too.

139

: 00:09:48

, so really, I came away with

that with, I am the blueprint

140

: 00:09:53

for what I'm trying to do.

141

: 00:09:54

I came out with blueprint energy

and the piece that I got from that.

142

: 00:10:01

Has been just like life changing,

you know, like when we used to watch

143

: 00:10:06

those cartoons or shows, they used

to be like, ah, like when people

144

: 00:10:09

got stuff, that's how it's been.

145

: 00:10:12

It's been like a huge light bulb, like a

huge energy spark, like a lightning bolt.

146

: 00:10:18

, around some things that I'm going

to be putting out and some things

147

: 00:10:21

that you will see from me very soon.

148

: 00:10:26

But I'm going to be putting it out

very slow because that's another,

149

: 00:10:32

I would say, so my top three things

would be the simplicity, the

150

: 00:10:36

form and the last one is pace.

151

: 00:10:39

, I'm, I was about to say, I'm going

to be putting it out very slowly.

152

: 00:10:43

Everything that I'm doing, I'm putting

it out at my own pace, very slowly,

153

: 00:10:47

not in a format, not following this,

not following that, not, not looking

154

: 00:10:52

at this, but I'm, I'm on the spaghetti

sticking to the wall at this point.

155

: 00:10:56

, and I just feel that that

is the best way for me.

156

: 00:10:59

And what I'm most aligned to.

157

: 00:11:01

So it's going to be very slow rollout.

158

: 00:11:04

, it's going to be very slow and intentional

of what I'm doing, how I'm putting stuff

159

: 00:11:09

out, how I'm moving, how I'm pivoting

and everything that you're going to be

160

: 00:11:14

seeing from the Gentalks tech brand, the

bloomology brand and a new brand that I'm

161

: 00:11:22

not going to announce because I have not.

162

: 00:11:25

I just trademarked it and put it into,

enrolled it into my LLC parent company.

163

: 00:11:30

So we will not share that name,

but I have so much coming out

164

: 00:11:33

and I feel really good about it.

165

: 00:11:35

And I'm very excited to share

it with everybody, SASH drives.

166

: 00:11:40

So you're going to see

it and hear it first.

167

: 00:11:43

Stache Tribe, , tap in, let me know

what you, what were your top highlights

168

: 00:11:49

and your fave moments, takeaways,

were your favorite moments, your

173

174

I feel like I'm even more interested in

knowing your reflections now that you've

post, post woman evolve a month later.
