The PurposeGirl Podcast Episode 101: Reclaim Your Power with Aria Tru

Have you ever been SO angry that you wanted to smash something, throw something against the wall, or even hit someone? It’s perfectly normal to feel anger and frustration, but we need to have appropriate outlets for these more challenging emotions or we’ll end up doing something destructive, like taking it out on someone.

In today’s episode of The PurposeGirl Podcast, I’m joined by Aria Tru, NLP Transformational Life Coach and founder of Women Breaking Plates, an organization she formed to give women a fun, cathartic way to break free of old habits, patterns, traumas, and emotions. As the name of the organization suggests, at Women Breaking Plates events, women have the opportunity to write on plates the things that no longer serve them, things they want to get rid of, and then shatter them. This is part of a larger event in which women support each other, are supported by a variety of healers, and take physical actions that help make shifts in their own bodies and in their lives.

In this episode, Aria talks about:

The importance of recognizing that one is able to change, and making a decision and taking steps to change
How traumatic events enter our bodies through our five senses and how we need to learn new ways to rewire our system to process and release the traumas
Our sacred rage that needs to be expressed
Instead of thinking about having emotional blockages, see it as emotions that haven’t yet been expressed
The importance of acknowledging and listening to the hurt parts of ourselves
The Empowerment Parties held by Women Breaking Plates
The Full Body YES!

You can learn more about Aria Tru at her website (https://www.womenbreakingplates.com/), follow her on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/WomenBreakingPlates/) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/womenbreakingplates/), and check out a video of an Empowerment Party on YouTube (https://youtu.be/heHxW6RhrDo). And, if you’re in the LA area, she’s holding her next event March 7 in LA.

It would really mean a lot to me if you would go to Apple Podcasts and leave me a review (hopefully a great one!), leave a 5 star rating, subscribe to this podcast so you never miss an episode, and download the episodes! And please spread the word and help our community grow!

Thank you so much spending your time with me! And if you aren’t following me already, you can find me on Instagram and Facebook, and click here to receive my newsletter.

May you live purposefully, may you love yourself, and may you love life.

Bye for now!

How To Be More Confident

Do you ever wish you could be more confident? Or wonder why you're not?

The fact is – we're in the middle of a women's confidence crisis.
Most women I know are smart, competent, and brilliant… but still often feel insecure about men, or self-doubt about going for the promotion, or they hold back at a networking event, or they get stuck wanting to pursue a dream.

In fact, several research studies have found that even though women are just as competent as men in fields from nursing to business, they are less confident than their colleagues. Did you know that a major reason why women make less than men is that we don't toot our own horns and ask for the raise?

I get it – as little girls, we were told not to brag. Just to smile. To speak when spoken to. I can't even tell you how many of my coaching clients were told that they were “too much” as little girls. And Josh told me that when he was a middle school teacher, the girls would sit back before raising their hands while boys would just blurt out answers – whether right or wrong. Girls become more self-conscious, more afraid.

Well, frankly, this needs to end. We deserve better. We need to claim our genius and RISE as the EMPOWERED, brilliant women we were born to be.

A few weeks ago, I hosted the incredible women in this year's EMPOWERED class – my 4 month group coaching program for women to become their most confident, most purposeful and alive selves – for a Goddess retreat. After spending the morning feeling into what it means to be an EMPOWERED woman – confident, free, alive, supportive of other women, goes for her dreams, believes in herself – I asked, “And what holds you back from being HER?”

One woman shared that after childhood trauma, she lost faith in herself.
Another lost confidence to an old relationship.
Another is afraid to go after dreams because she thinks she has to be perfect.

I resonated with each share because I've felt it all. In fact, with each share, we all cried tears of understanding.

And then I worked with each woman to fight back the critical voices, to set her wild Goddess self free, to look in the mirror and see the beauty that we all see and STAND IN HER POWER.

One by one, each woman ROSE in her confidence, her power, and her GLORY so that by the end of the retreat, they all BRAGGED about their amazingness and declared “I AM AN EMPOWERED WOMAN. I AM HER.”

See, each of us has so much to be confident in. Our strengths, our courage, the fact that we've survived so much.

And we have to take control of our own happiness. We have to CHOOSE to be empowered. No one is going to do it for us.

The world wants to tell women everything that's wrong with us – we're too old/fat/skinny/young/ugly/blahblahblah – so IF WE DON'T CONTROL OUR CONFIDENCE, THEY WILL.

We have to do the work – the heart work, the mindset work, the daily work to remind ourselves what's genius and brilliant and beautiful about US.
We have to surround ourselves with women who will uplift us, support us, cheerlead us.
That's why I love for women to come into my Facebook Group and CELEBRATE their accomplishments, wins and strengths! Join us here and post a celebration or brag!

The thing is – we can't do this work alone.
We can't heal the wounds on our own and rise up in Confidence alone!
We need Sisters. We need a mentor. We need support to rise up.

Soon, I'll be launching the Goddess on Purpose online course to discover your glory, rise in confidence, and create a path to purpose. If you want to get on a waiting list for it, click here.

And in the meantime, here's a link to this week's PurposeGirl Power Bite – a juicy 2 minute video empowering and teaching you a couple of tools to rise in your confidence and glory. Click here to watch.

I love you and I believe in you!

XO,

The PurposeGirl Podcast Episode 100: Highlights from the First 100 Episodes

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all my listeners! I had no idea where this journey would take me when it started, but after 100 episodes, over 150,000 downloads, and hitting the top 20 in dozens of countries around the world, it’s clear that there are a LOT of women out there who are on this journey with me. I’ve received so many wonderful reviews, emails, and private messages from women whose lives I’ve changed, women who have felt heard and seen and supported through The PurposeGirl Podcast, and I dedicate this episode to you, my wonderful listeners, my PurposeGirls!

In today’s episode I recap some of the highlights from the first 100 episodes, some of the episodes that brought the most feedback and engagement.

In the first few episodes I talked about the importance of our own happiness, both to ourselves and to those around us.
In Episode 8 I talked about our own pleasure, which was a pretty edgy episode to do early on, and I’m proud that I did it.
In Episode 9 I talked about our “dark side,” let you know that it’s OK to have anger and grief and the “darker” emotions, and addressed how to work with these feelings.
Episodes 15 and 19 were about sisterhood and women helping women, and I talk about lifting each other up instead of feeling competition with other women.
Episodes 22 and 96 were all about fears that many of us have, and how we can shift these fears into courage.
I’ve talked about self-love in a number of episodes. In Episode 7 I interviewed Stacey Hoffer, in Episode 99 I interviewed Crystal Langen, and in Episode 48 I talked all about what self-love is and its many different levels, and how we can increase our own self-love.
In Episode 51 I talked about the special relationship between mothers and daughters, and I interviewed two guest experts about how to strengthen this relationship.
In Episode 74 I talked about the “seven sacred sins” that keep women stuck, and I received a lot of feedback about this one. It really resonated for a lot of you.
In Episode 85 I talk about how to thrive and help others thrive at work.
I received more messages about Episode 90 than any other. In Episode 90 I interviewed Todd Pressman about anxiety, an issue I’ve struggled with in my own life, and Todd takes me through an exercise that he created to get down to one’s core fears.
In several recent Episodes (see Episode 94, as well as 98 where I talk about our money stories) I’ve talked about launching purpose-based businesses, and many of you told me this really resonated for you.

In this episode I announce a contest where I’m giving away an Activation Session, a coaching experience with me valued at $1000. To enter, subscribe to this podcast and leave a 5-star review, take a screenshot of both (it’s fine if you already left a review a while ago, just take a picture of that), and email the screenshots to [josh@purposegirl.com]! I’ll be picking one winner at random on March 1, so send them in by the end of February 29 (EST)!

In this episode I also announced that we’re going to be holding a Mother-Daughter Retreat the first weekend in May in my home in Philadelphia! To learn more go to [purposegirl.com/motherdaughter].
