Episode 85

[00:00:51] Hello everyone. And welcome back to the podcast. Real, brave, and unstoppable. This is episode number 85. Today I’m going to do the first of a three-part series. And the concept is real plus brave equals unstoppable. So we’re gonna do a little bit of just kind of teaching how real and brave create unstoppable and why

I think that’s really important.

[00:01:24] So in this episode, we’re going to talk about the real part or the authenticity part of this. And you’re going to learn how to cultivate authenticity for an untoppable life. So you can create and live a life you’re excited about. A life that you love, that epic bad-ass life that you’ve created from the inside out.

[00:01:49] Next week we’re going to build on that with courage because it takes courage to be authentic in your life.

[00:01:56] You definitely need to practice courage to cultivate authenticity, but we’re going to dig a little deeper into that next week. And then finally, the third part in this series is just going to put it all together and talk about how combining, how the combination of authenticity and courage

[00:02:17] is what enables you to create that epic bad-ass unstoppable life.

[00:02:23] A lot of it has to do with self-love at the end of the day. So it’s finding that authentic self, having the courage to show up and then loving that person. And that’s really my philosophy. And what I help people do is to embrace all those things and put them together in that lovely equation.

[00:02:42] Since I’m a former engineer, I love equations. Real plus brave equals unstoppable. It’s a simple equation, but I love it. Okay. So, uh, let’s see , a couple of items of business. First of all, I guess there’s just one. On May 5th . my colleague and Becks and I are doing this amazing free virtual summit called unapologetically you, Ann and I both do a lot of work with authenticity and we have different audiences, but

[00:03:13] the work we do is to put out into the world how important it is to find your authenticity and live a life based on who you are and not who you think you should be or who you think you need to be in order to be accepted and to fit in.

[00:03:32] it’s really, really important. And you know, when you take the step to do this, it’s contagious. Other people are inspired to do the same thing and it just fosters amazing, true connection. And we are all part of a collective people, so the connection is so important. We’re wired for that.

[00:03:53] So anyway, the summit May 5th. Unapologetically You, we have eight speakers, including Ann and myself. We have someone speaking on living a wealthy life–basically how to take control of your money and define what wealth means to you so you can create a life that you love.

[00:04:14] Money’s a big deal for a lot of us. There are a lot of stories around money and a lot of people think they’re terrible with money and have a hard time saving. And I’ve been there too with all the baggage around money. So. That one’s really good. We have someone talking about creating beautiful relationships.

[00:04:32] I’m really excited about that one. My mentor, Darla, she is talking about using your magic or your intuition to guide you in your career and your life. We have someone talking about opportunities for world peace that really tie into how you view race diversity, inclusivity,

[00:04:52] and how you show up in the world related to those things. We have someone talking about living with no regrets. Love that talk. I’m talking about rebuilding an authentic life after a divorce breakup or other life setback, Ann is talking about ending burnout and exhaustion forever.

[00:05:12] And we have someone, Maggie Ostara, who will be talking about human design. I love human design. It’s something that you may or may not be aware of. It’s kind of growing in popularity, and I’m not going to get into it here, but I highly recommend that you do get in on that talk because it’s super interesting.

[00:05:35] You’re going to learn a lot about yourself and it will help shape how you make decisions So, if you want to learn more before the summit go to Google human design, but otherwise, you’ve just got to sign up for the summit. It’s going to be so good. And each speaker is donating a free gift and there are some really amazing resources they’re donating.

[00:05:59] So you totally do not want to miss this. It’s going to be amazing. The link to register went live today

So, go register!. You’re going to love it. The recordings will be available for 24 hours following the summit. So, you don’t necessarily have to attend live for all of the talks.

If you just come and make the most of the time, you know, just sign up, it’s free. Come get what you came for. It there’ll be just a lot of great stuff. Link in the show notes. Okay. So excited about that, but let’s dive into the episode.

[00:07:11] I want to open this episode with a quote. “You were born to be real, not perfect. You are here to be you not to live someone else’s life.” That quote is by Ralph Marston. I got this wrong for a lot of my life. I really thought that I had to be perfect. You know, to prove my worth, essentially.

[00:07:37] And I know there are a lot of you listening that have had the same thing. There’s so many of us that fall into that. So somewhere along the way, I made this unconscious decision. That I was supposed to figure out who I should be, should be to belong and be accepted in the world and be that rather than getting through life as the person I came here to be here, I was sent here to be, God put me here to be, and to me, this decision looked like perfection,

[00:08:13] overachieving and approval seeking. It looked like self-worth that was dependent on the opinions of others, not my own. It looked like a lot of different things, none of which were truly who I was. I was what I like to call a shape shifter. I was a master of showing up in a group of people, surveying the vibe and based on that, adjusting my personality to match. The problem was that by trying to fit in with everyone, I was really fitting in with no one,

[00:08:52] Some examples that come to mind:

[00:08:55] When I was in high school, I hustled to get straight A’s, be a star athlete, you know, overachieving and it made me stand out. So I got the approval of some people, they were like, wow, she’s amazing.  She’s so smart. What can this girl not do? But then at the same time, I stood out too much.

[00:09:22] I didn’t actually fit in the people that I went to high school with. I don’t know what they thought of me, but I just didn’t really ever seem to find my place in the people that were in my grade. And I went to a really small school. So yeah, there weren’t a lot of people like me that were so driven.

[00:09:42] And so I totally stood out and, for me, not in the best way. Like, I didn’t feel like I belonged. And this is so common. We’re sort of told that you need to stand out and be great at things, but at the same time you need to fit in and blend in. It’s very contradictory.

[00:09:59] Another example that comes to mind is when my son was little, I used to volunteer at school a lot because it was primarily a stay at home mom. I also had a part-time photography business, but my primary responsibility was my son. That was before my daughter was born. So, you know, I would volunteer to help with all the school parties, you know, the class parties for like Halloween and Valentine’s day and all the things.

[00:10:25] And I like never felt like I was one of the cool moms and. Like the PTA moms. So I would be a different person, try to be anyway, like a PTA mom, which is totally not who I am. Totally not. That’s another example.

[00:10:41] So I’m sure you can probably find your own examples in this too, when you think about it. But this really came at a great cost because after a while of trying to fit in all the different places, I totally forgot who I was. And what I found is you can only fake it for so long because after a while being a chameleon catches up with you in one way or another, and this is not like I was consciously faking it.

[00:11:12] It’s just kind of like was part of who I was at the time. You know, it’s not, like I said, oh, I have to be fake to fit into this. And if you’ve had this, you get what I’m saying. But for me, this caught up with me a few times in my life without me really noticing what was really happening.

[00:11:29] But, you know, you always hear, I think Oprah talks about the way the universe whispers to when things aren’t right for, you know, for you to make a change. And the so-called whispers of the universe that were trying to tell me that this whole scheme wasn’t working for me. Eventually it turned into the big whack across the head with a two by four in the form of

[00:11:53] finding out my husband of 17 years was cheating on me with another man. And that’s what I like to call a lane changer. I haven’t used that term in a while, but it’s like you’re driving down one lane of your life and you think everything’s kind of fine–and I used word fine because I don’t think if anyone asked me, I’d say it was amazing.

[00:12:15] There were a lot of amazing things, but to me, something felt like it was missing. And so it was just, it was fine. It was acceptable. I was settling for a fine life, but after I discovered this about my husband cheating on me with another man, he’s gay, I never had a clue. This was the most difficult time in my entire life.

[00:12:39] And I talk about this a lot on the show. So I hope the is not getting old. Sometimes I feel like it gets old for me to tell it I’m getting kind of tired of the story, but the circumstances of this whole thing crushed me and I had to basically rebuild my life from the bottom. In so many ways career, you know, where I was I going to live?

[00:13:03] You know, just so many things I had to figure out what was next for me and how to create that life. But I didn’t even know who I was anymore. Without being married without, you know, there were so many things that just blew up. And I’m still on that journey of getting to know myself.

[00:13:24] I think it’s a lifelong journey for all of us, but it’s really an important one because we can’t really live a life of integrity unless we know who we are. We can’t really build the life we want, unless we know who we are, because we won’t really know what we want or what’s important to us if we don’t know who we are.

[00:13:44] So even though we’re always discovering new things about ourselves, though, just having the solid foundation to build on is really important in learning to hear and trust your intuition so that you can make decisions. And move through your life in alignment with who you are and that shapes your life.

[00:14:05] So you’re always in that integrity, you’re always aligned. And that’s how you live that life with feeling grounded, inner peace, that’s how you live in the moment. Be present, live according to your values to have that foundation. So in my work, I talk a lot about creating a life that you love, that epic bad-ass unstoppable life.

[00:14:32] It’s just why we’re doing these few episodes. Authenticity plus courage equals that. It’s a little more complicated than that, but not a lot. so many people settle for a life that’s fine. Or it’s a hamster wheel. It’s okay. I have a lot to be thankful for, but then something feels like it’s missing and then people feel guilty that they are feeling like something’s missing because yeah, there’s a lot to be grateful for and they should be grateful.

[00:15:01] Right? So there’s all this guilt, but life isn’t really meant to be that way. Life is meant for you to live it to the fullest as the person that you’re, you were sent here to be. I really believe that’s our purpose is just to be able to more of who we are in this life and the rest kind of falls into place, but why do so many people settle for a life

[00:15:24] that’s just fine? Why do so many people choose not to live their best life?

[00:15:31] Well, I think it’s two things. I think, first of all, it’s that people don’t know exactly who they are, what they want. They’re not in tune. And I also think it’s because they don’t believe they’re capable of creating that epic life that lights them up. They don’t believe they have the ability to be unstoppable.

[00:15:51] And, you know, sure you might say you believe, but do you really believe? Do you really believe that you’re capable and willing to take the leaps, do the hard things to be able to create that life? Because that’s what life is about. It’s about getting out of your comfort zone and taking those risks and they don’t always work out, but that’s part of it is learning from it.

[00:16:16] And just walking through, walking through.

[00:16:20] The belief that you can be unstoppable and creating a life you love starts with being who you really are. So that’s the first part of the equation. Real authenticity. It starts with telling the truth about who you are, what you want and what you believe in. You’re always going to be held back in your mind.

[00:16:40] If you don’t love the person, you really are loving yourself and believing in yourself are totally connected.

[00:16:49] If you don’t love who you are, and self-love is a work in progress for so many of us, but if you don’t love yourself… If you’re not working on that, you will have so many judgments about yourself that will hold you back from truly believing that you are capable of affecting your life and creating this life you love.

[00:17:14] And when you have all those judgements about yourself, it’s gonna make you try to protect yourself. It’s going to cause you to go into self-preservation and it’s going to keep you there. It’s going to keep you in your comfort zone and that’s not as they always like to say, it’s not where the magic happens.

[00:17:31] That’s what I always tell my kids. And they totally, totally, totally hate that. Oh my God, mom. You’re so not cool. I, for the longest time, I always thought I was like the cool mom. And then one time my son was. Um, there are no moms that are cool. I was like, okay. So I still think I’m the cool mom, but whatever I’m going to just go with that.

[00:17:55] So when I’m going to give you some ways that you can cultivate authenticity or practice being real in your life, but first let’s start with what it is. There are several definitions of authentic, but the one that resonates for me the most in this context, true to one’s own personality, spirit or character.

[00:18:16] So the tricky part about authenticity is you have to know what your personality, spirit, or character is. And I like the word spirit, because like, if you can tap into and really tune into your spirit, the soul of who you are and be true to that, like that is the ultimate. Personally. So I love that definition, but personally, I connect more deeply to the way Brene Brown describes authenticity. She describes it as:  authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are.

Embracing who we are.

[00:18:59] To me that involves a lot of letting go and surrendering, potentially gratitude and appreciation for all of the parts of you. Even the ones that you have a hard time loving. I think most of us have struggled with living authentically in one way or the other. It isn’t always easy, and that’s because it’s letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be

[00:19:24] And embracing who we really are. All of that person who we think we’re supposed to be is conditioned. It’s based on beliefs that have been handed down to us from the time we were a little. It’s based on cultural conditioning, social conditioning, past experiences, expectations. So it’s really hard to let go of that.

[00:19:48] It takes a lot of intentionality and living with purpose.

[00:19:52] So why do we struggle with being authentic? Well, I kind of just said part of it, but I think for me, and I think for a lot of people, the root of it lies in wanting to fit in. To belong, to connect. We’re conditioned to want to fit in. We’re conditioned to seek out connection. We’re wired for it.

[00:20:12] But we’re also taught, like I said earlier, that we should stand out. We need to stand out, which is totally contradictory, but that’s a discussion for a whole other episode. So over time because of needing to fit in,

[00:20:36] we’ve created this false self or your ego or your adaptive self that helps you fit in. I talked about shape-shifting earlier being the chameleon. So depending on the situation, you kind of alter how you show up and maybe you hide the things you really believe in for example. But the self that we create is like I said before, is it’s based on years of conditioning and belief systems that were handed down to us, expectations, failures, successes, plus comments and criticisms that have made us not want to like, touch that hot stove again.

[00:21:14] To name a few things. So over time, that’s how we become who we think we need to be to belong. But by being someone you are not, you’re not living your life. You’re not living an unstoppable life either. So of course, something will always feel like it’s missing. But you can change that. You can create that life

[00:21:36] you love. The unstoppable epic life. But it all starts with cultivating that authenticity in yourself. So some ways that you can do that, I have. The first one is spending time with yourself. I think that being present, working on being intentional…I have been listening to Oprah’s the life you want series lately.

[00:21:58] And I actually bought the journal. It’s kind of nice. She has some really nice things. I like Oprah so much, but one of the topics for this month or the topic for this month was being present and being intentional. It’s so helpful to just to be aware of what’s going on in your mind, what you’re feeling, because we totally lose touch with that.

[00:22:22] We’re also busy and we’re doing things for other people and we’re so busy being the person we think we need to be, that we don’t really take time to figure it out or just tune in. You know, tune into our heart and our soul to see who we are, what we love to do, what things we love, who we love, how we want to show up.

[00:22:46] So it’s really important to just spend that soul time, you know, just have that time with yourself. Journal, meditate, walk in nature, spend time with your thoughts. Just kind of pay attention to what’s going on up there. And yeah, just practice being very intentional about stuff this week. Over the past week I’ve been working on that.

[00:23:08] Like when I choose something to eat, for example, I’ll be really intentional about choosing it and then tasting it, chewing it, you know, with intention. It’s a really good practice to have, like I said, so helpful with awareness and it will go a long way in you getting reconnected with who you are.

[00:23:33] The second thing is to learn to trust your intuition. It’s your own magic. We all have intuition. For a long time I thought I didn’t have a strong sense of intuition, but it’s there. We just kind of cover it up because we’ve learned to question ourselves. So we get in our head too much. We overthink.

[00:23:52] So intuition is coming back to your, heart, your soul, your gut. Everybody has intuition. Go back and listen to episode number 61. Talia Joy is on that episode with me talking about the five different intuitive types. That’s a great episode.

[00:24:09] We all sense it differently. Some of us might sense it by recognizing a pattern or seeing an image. Some might have a gut feeling. Some of us might feel like an overall vibration, just there’s different ways to learn how you sense your intuition and practice trust.

[00:24:32] And the thing that I love to do to practice intuition, is to just practice with the small things, like the low risk things. Like what do I want to eat? Just feel into it. What comes to me first? Usually, the first thing that comes to is in anything is like what you really want, what your intuition is telling you.

[00:24:52] If you go out for dinner, don’t spend like 15 minutes, like I do trying to turn to figure out what you want to eat. I’ve started practicing that when I go out to eat, which I don’t do very often, but to just tune in and just kind of see what comes to me. But practice with the small things, it helps a lot.

[00:25:13] The third thing is to know what’s important to you. What are your values? What things do you most value in life? I have an exercise for this. If you work with me, you’ll get it. It’s part of a workbook that you get when you join my RISE program, but you can go

[00:25:32] Google values and you’ll basically get a list of a jillion different words that represent values. And you kind of go through and pick which ones resonate, but you want to pick like three to five. It’s hard to narrow it down, but it’s super important because the idea is you’re going to pick words that really resonate deeply for you.

[00:25:55] I need to do this again, this exercise again for myself, but the last time I did it, mine were authenticity (big surprise), simplicity, family, courage and adventure. So those words are really what I came up with as being the core of what’s important to me, there are other things of course, but your values are the things that are going to kind of light your way along your path.

[00:26:23] They’re going to help you. They’re going to guide you. They’re going to help you make decisions and doing that exercise is a great window into your soul.

[00:26:33] Number four is learning how to let go of your attachment to things. To surrender to what is. One of my favorite authors, Pema Chodron. I think I talk about her on every episode, but she writes a lot about letting go of your attachments. She says the reason that we suffer is because we cling to the way we want things to be or the way we think things should be.

[00:27:00] And perfect example of this was when I got divorced. I had the hardest time with the fact that I no longer had a quote unquote normal family. I was so attached to that idea of what a family should look like. And it caused me to suffer a lot. And honestly, I still struggle with that a little bit sometimes.

[00:27:20] Especially on holidays, for example, where they’re very family oriented holidays. So I really have to be intentional about trying to let go of that idea that there is a such thing as a normal family. Cause there really isn’t. So it takes a little work to let go. It’s a practice. You have to decide to let go, and then just keep practicing it over and over.

[00:27:44] One thing that helps with that is to be in the present moment. Surrender to the present moment. Surrendering and letting go of attachment doesn’t mean that you like the way things are and you don’t want them to change. It just means that in this very moment,

[00:28:01] I’m surrendering to what is going on in this moment. It’s moment by moment thing. And there’s an episode about surrender. I don’t remember the number of the episode, but you can go look through the episode catalog on real brave, unstoppable.com and, and find it, or look on your favorite streaming platform.

[00:28:24] The fifth thing I talked about a little bit in the beginning of the episode was to work on building your courage muscle. It takes courage to show up authentically. It really does. And there’ll be more on this next week. We’re going to dive into courage and I’m going to give you some ways to practice courage. But, yeah, it takes courage, but the more you can cultivate courage, the easier it gets to be.

[00:28:50] You unapologetically to choose you to be bring more of you to your everyday life.

[00:28:59] Number six is to check in with yourself in all of your interactions with people, your relationships, your to-do lists, things like that. Like how much of it feels aligned for you? Look at your internal expectations versus your external expectations. What are you doing because you really want to do it, or they’re important to you back to your values or

[00:29:24] what are the things you’re doing because you want to please other people, or you’re afraid of being criticized and things like that.

[00:29:33] Take a look at your relationships. How are you showing up in those? Are you bringing your true self to the relationship? A lot of times what happens like when we meet someone and you know, we have dating all wrong, because we try to be the person that we think we have to be in order to be worth being loved or for someone, you know, a hot guy to like us or whatever it is.

[00:29:56] , And so what happens is we try to be someone like it’s the shape-shifting thing. Again, we try to be someone that we think we need to be in order to be accepted and loved and connected. And then what happens is you get into the relationship and when you, you can never really be you. Then if you are you, and then it works out, it’s sort of a stroke of luck, but you know, if you start being the real, you.

[00:30:21] I’ve had that happen before I talk about this toxic relationship I was in right after my ex and I separated and I was totally focused on who do I need to be, to be loved in this relationship? And it was like, when I really wanted to start being me it just did not work. So check in on

[00:30:44] your relationship – are you being authentic, you know, are you bringing YOU to the relationship and if you’re not, how would you like to show up in the relationship? What feels aligned for you? And also in checking in, I mentioned that false self or the adaptive self. Check in with your belief systems.

[00:31:07] You know, things like,

[00:31:08] for example, if you had a parent, when you were growing up that always made you feel like you weren’t thin enough or pretty enough, so you believe that in order to be accepted, you have to look good. And that’s just how you’ve lived. Really feel when you’re not in alignment, even if you don’t really know it, there’s always going to be like a dissonance with how you show up, how you feel when you shop that way.

[00:31:36] So maybe that’s your belief system is that you have to look a certain way to be it worthy. So you are always having to put on makeup to go to the grocery store and… I was once there too. And I talk to a lot of people who will not go to the grocery store without makeup, but trust me, people, nobody cares.

[00:31:58] Nobody cares. I go to the grocery store without makeup all the time, but I like to get fixed up too. So, you know, that’s authentic to me. I don’t care at the grocery store. I might care if I’m going to a Broadway show or something, you know? So check that stuff, check your belief systems. And the last one, number seven.

[00:32:20] Is love yourself through all of it. You have to love all the parts. And like I said earlier, self-love is a journey. It’s a work in progress, but it’s a practice. Look at the parts that like your shadow side. What parts do you not accept?  I’ve talked about this analogy of the castle…

[00:32:42] We have this beautiful castle and we love all the rooms, but over time, somebody somebody comes and says, that room is not good enough. You should really lock that one so no one sees it if you want to have a perfect castle. So we do that. We keep doing that. And then pretty soon we have all these rooms of our castle locked away and we only have the shiny parts left.

[00:33:05] That’s really what I’m talking about here, but those are the locked rooms are the shadow side. So you have to bring those back into your being. You have to accept them and learn to love them. They’ve served you in some way, so you have to learn how to appreciate them for what they are and love all the parts.

[00:33:23] Love the parts that are messy, love all the parts that are put together, love the parts that just really struggle. If you’re somebody who criticizes your body, this is one thing I learned is that, you know, we don’t want to do that, but you know, sometimes even though I work really hard to try to be kind to my body, sometimes I’m not. And I have to accept that, that’s just part of who I am.

[00:33:47] And I probably always will do that a little bit. And I just have to know that there’s a part of me in there that just needs a little love. And so I have to accept that person, love that part of me and give her the love and give her all the compassion. So yeah, whenever you find yourself not loving the hard parts to love and criticizing yourself, or, you know, beating yourself up for something, just try to accept it.

[00:34:14] You don’t have to keep doing that… You can want to change, but send that part of you lots of love and lots of compassion. So that’s number seven. Those are the seven things you can do to cultivate authenticity. There’s a lot of other ways too, but like, I didn’t want to have a list of 20 things in this episode.

[00:34:32] I wanted to narrow it down to some things that you could really take into your, your life and try to practice them.

[00:34:39] Remember that, you know, you’re listening to this podcast because it’s about being authentic, having courage and building a life that you love. Who doesn’t want that? We all want that. So remember that you’re listening to this because you want to love your life. And the first part of that is the first part of the name of this podcast: real.

[00:35:03] That’s part of how you love your life. As you learn to show up as a real person, the person that you’re, that your soul is telling you are, that’s the first part. Okay. So. If you have any questions ever, just email me kortney@kortneyrivard.com I help people with this stuff. Like this is my job.

[00:35:24] I love helping people with this stuff. It’s my own journey. And I still work on it. But I’ve acquired a lot of tools and a lot of resources over the years of working on it and I can help you too. So check out my program three month private coaching program, it’s called RISE.

[00:35:40] I’m so excited about this program. Go check it out at kortneyrivard.com/rise. There’s an application for it. . And if you seem like a good fit–I don’t accept everyone-

[00:35:51]we’ll hop on a call to talk about it and make sure it’s a good fit. And then talk about what it would look like to join the program. Also I’m planning a retreat for later this year, probably early fall and the location is tbd, but it’s going to be pretty kick-ass.

[00:36:12] So if you are interested in retreating, having some time away to really work on this kind of thing with some other women who are like-minded and want to connect with people like you. Make sure you go to my website and fill out the form to get the free download and you’ll be on my email list. So you’ll get the first notifications. There are only going to be like eight to 10 spots, and those will fill up really quickly.

[00:36:41] So make sure you’re on my email list to learn all about that. All right, friends, that is it for this week. Hope you enjoyed it and I will see you next week.
