Well, friends, we’re continuing the conversation from Episode 17 because 20 minutes after we ended that episode, Callie had a huge realization about a story she’s been telling herself.

We’d tell you, but that would just spoil the episode :) Callie does (once again) share some thoughts she has around money, living on purpose, and her journey in her religion, and how that has created this whole story we talk about.

Key Takeaways:

• Can something be two things at once? Joyful and hard? Purposeful and profitable?
• Get curious about the stories you tell yourself to see where they’re actually coming from
• People are going to have their opinions…that’s okay.

Callie, thank you again for being so incredibly open to sharing - can’t imagine it not being what someone needed to hear ❤️❤️

Amanda here…I spoke with Callie about the growth of her business, and, well, you could say she keeps putting off answering me. So, (with her permission) I ask it in today's episode.

Hang with me as I ask the question, because I made it up as I went and wanted to choose my words wisely, as what they’ve grown is freaking incredible, and they don’t give themselves enough credit.

And, I want to personally thank her for being very real, raw, and vulnerable in this conversation and allowing me to dig in!

Key Takeaways:

• In order to truly grow, you have to ask yourself the tough questions
• Grow in a way that works for you, not because that may be what other people think you should do
• What does failure mean to you? And when you answer that question, ask yourself if it’s true or just a story you’re telling yourself

Thank you so much for listening to this one, and we hope it helps you take some time to really reflect on the stories you’re telling yourself. Are they true or not?

It's not about being right or wrong.

This week we had a submission around a topic that has felt necessary to talk about (in Amanda's eyes!), so here goes:

"I find myself being hesitant to provide feedback. This could be to a direct report, a colleague, a client, a prospect, or a higher up.

Oftentimes I’m afraid of being direct because in my mind it might hurt feelings or that it will be offensive to the recipient, so I end up sugar coating it, tap dancing around the real issue, or just not responding at all….maybe I’m getting in my own way here and that my feedback could actually be very helpful and positive…

What is the best way to provide accurate feedback so that everyone on both sides feels good about it?"

This was interesting as we went two different ways and then back around, like normal!

Key Takeaways:

• As an expert, we have to be careful not to come across as “I’m telling you what to do.”
• Figure out our internal issues before going into a conversation is important
• Everyone is really trying their best

What are your thoughts on feedback? Do you have an experience where this was tricky, or you thought it would be tricky and it wasn’t? OR, do you have some feedback for us on this topic of feedback?!
