Episode 32: Be Bold; How to Move through Transition Without Losing Yourself, with Stacey Shipman

 

Danielle and Kristy talk to Stacey Shipman, a facilitator that encourages people to relinquish the formal protocols that are stifling our personality and ideas. We talk about what it means to be bold and the conditions that create the boldness needed to move through transition without losing yourself. Danielle shares a life hack about staying connected with friends.

Notable Moments and Ideas:

12:00 Being bold is about being willing and able to take action towards things that you didn’t think were possible for you.

19:00 You have to get out of your head, and into your heart and your body because that is where action happens.

20:00 Discussion on the word “authentic”. Is it overused? Do we really know what it means? Maybe “natural” is a better fit for what we mean.

30:00 Quote from Oprah: Life is about growth and change. When you are no longer doing either, you’ve received your first whisper. Pay attention to what makes you feel energized, connected, and stimulated. Follow your intuition. Do what you love and you’ll more than succeed, you’ll soar.

Elements that lead to a bold transition:

  • Being in pain

  • Strong desire

  • Support from the people around you

  • A willingness to do the work

  • Action
