#254: From Crippling Excuses to Empowered Action with Rachel Holllis

Published: March 14, 2019, 7:01 a.m.

Rachel Hollis is in the house!! Literally, she came to my house and we sat in my studio for this interview! I normally do my interviews via Skype or Zoom, so the in-person interview was both nerve-wracking and super fun! I think you\u2019ll love listening to this episode.\nRachel, who in case you aren\u2019t familiar with, is a #1 New York Times best-selling author of Girl, Wash Your Face, she\u2019s got a new book that\u2019s now out, Girl, Stop Apologizing. She\u2019s a motivational speaker, a top-rated podcast host -- and, oh yeah, she\u2019s got four kids! This woman is a powerhouse and she brought her A-game today.\nDuring the interview, we talk about Rachel\u2019s new book, Girl, Stop Apologizing. The book\u2019s subtitle is A Shame-Free Plan for Embracing and Achieving Your Goals -- let me tell you, this book is super tactical when it comes to setting and achieving your goals, but the way Rachel delivers her message through her gift of story-telling, her wonderful sense of humor, and her no-nonsense belief that if you have a dream, you CAN make it happen. I just know this is going to be one of your favorite reads!\nAlright, I want you to pop those earbuds in and\xa0listen right away, but if you want a sneak peek of what we talk about during the interview, here you go:\n\nI asked Rachel what she thinks about the minute she opens her eyes in the morning. I just loved her honesty: tired and anxious. She talks about the season she\u2019s in right now and talks about how she gets herself moving and in a better state.\n\nWe talk about being people pleasers and worrying about what people think about us. Rachel is very much in the public eye, so she\u2019s got really great insight on this struggle that so many of us deal with.\n\nRachel addresses two common excuses so many of us use (I hand-picked these two from the several she talks about in her book specifically for you, because I hear these same excuses from my audience all the time): \u201cI don\u2019t have enough time.\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m not enough to succeed.\u201d\xa0\n\nWe talk about the simple 5 to Thrive model that Rachel says has literally changed her personal and professional life. It\u2019s so simple, yet so powerful!\n\nSome people wonder how Rachel did it. They call her an \u201covernight success\u201d. She debunks that myth right off the bat and drops some truth bombs in the process.\xa0\n\nRachel talks about how she built her following (she has over 1 million on Instagram alone!) by getting to know her Ideal Customer Avatar (ICA). She tells how this quote she heard over 10 years ago, \u201cFollow the signs of life,\u201d helped guide her in really getting to know her ICA and use that to monetize her business.\n\nYou guys, there is so much value, inspiration and tactical advise to living the life that you dream of AND you deserve.
