Limitless Women

We are all attached to getting an outcome in our life. That’s part of setting goals and enhancing our personal and professional development?

It’s part of experiencing humanness and life!

But sometimes we get so attached to the result we can forget why we are pursuing it and worse still we create a world of stress, anxiety, overwhelm and depreciating self worth as we get lost in that pursuit.

So let’s break it down between the strategic and the tactical outcomes you’re looking for as they have different drivers.

Start by listing your attachments to the big outcomes:

- Leaving a relationship
- Getting married
- Your personal story (tied up with your limiting beliefs and ability to step fully into who you are)
- Trying for a baby

Are examples of some bigger outcomes at play to the smaller more tactical outcomes:

- that magic number on the scales
- applying for that role
- getting that PB on your sports activity
- delivering on deadline

Take some time to discover what outcomes you are really attached to and then jot down next to them why you think that is.

Let me know one of your attachments below 👇🏼

Set your own agenda, or someone else will set it for you.”

Great words of advice given to Melinda French Gates, who is doing just that.

Melinda French Gates has announced $1billion in spending over the next 2 years for people and organisations working on behalf of women and families around the world.

Sometimes we need to fight fire with fire, and what I mean by that is that money talks.

Lobbyists have been backing male leaders in positions of power to serve their own agendas for eons! Add to that the increasing rhetoric of male leaders that are trying to admonish the rights of young girls and women across the world, which seems to be more polarising than ever.

Thankfully the power dynamic is shifting, there are more female billionaires than ever, accounting for just over 13% of the world’s billionaires.

Together they are worth nearly $1.8 trillion (ForbesWomen) and the great thing is they are using their fortune to change things FOR THE BETTER!

Where would you start fixing things for young girls and women?

Letting go of an attachment to an outcome is the focus of this month.

We get so hung up on outcomes, any of these sound familiar?

- The need for control and specific outcomes, such as how family members should act or how situations should unfold, causing tension and conflicts.

- The constant focus on future outcomes preventing you from being present and enjoying the moment. Always thinking ahead, worrying about what’s next.

- Being overly self critical when outcomes don’t match your expectations, blaming yourself for not achieving your goals exactly as planned.

Any of those slap you round the face?

Feeling Overwhelmed by Competing Demands? You're Not Alone.

Balancing a demanding career, family responsibilities, and personal growth can feel like juggling too many balls in the air. As a professional woman striving for excellence in every area of life, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and stretched thin.

I’ve been there—facing back-to-back meetings, looming deadlines, and an endless to-do list while trying to be present for my family and find time for myself! I genuinely feel that I sometimes plan, plan, plan and never actually get to see anything through.

But I’ve learned that achieving balance isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about setting priorities, creating boundaries, and giving yourself permission to step back and breathe.

Here are a few strategies that have helped me regain control:

Prioritise Ruthlessly: Identify what truly matters and focus your energy on those tasks. It’s okay to let go of or delegate less critical items.

Set Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries between work and personal time. Communicate these boundaries to colleagues and family members to ensure they’re respected.

Schedule Self-Care: Block out time in your calendar for self-care activities. Whether it’s a workout, a hobby, or quiet time to reflect, make it non-negotiable.

Ask for Help: Don’t hesitate to seek support from your network, whether it’s a mentor, coach, or family member. Sometimes, an outside perspective can provide the clarity you need.

Embrace Imperfection: Understand that it’s okay not to be perfect. Progress and self-compassion are far more important than perfection.

Remember, you don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

At Limitless Women Lead, I provide personalised coaching and support to help you balance your competing demands and thrive in every area of your life.

Join a 'Transformation through balance' workshop here and get a taste of how to regain control of your life.

On the cusp of the release of her new book 'Becoming' Michelle Obama lay awake imagining the book landing on shelves in bookstores and libraries, translated into dozens of different languages, scrutinised by critics around the world.

She was about to head out on an international arena tour that would take her to 31 different cities and in front of audiences of up to 20,000 people at a time.

"I stared hard at the bedroom ceiling, feeling the anxiety rise like a tide in my chest, the doubts looping through my head. Have I said too much? Can I pull this off? Will I blow it? What then?

Beneath this lay something deeper, more primal, more fixed, and fully terrorising—the bedrock question upon which all other doubts rest—four words that reliably plague even the most accomplished and powerful people I know, four words that have followed me since I was a young girl on the South Side of Chicago: Am I good enough?"

Now whilst we are not all former First Ladies, we can take similarities from this story.

- Firstly she was embarking on a brand new journey (essentially the next phase of her life) and was fearing the unknown. We have all been there before.

- Secondly, those words that have followed her around since childhood. We all to some degree remember those words from our childhoods that dictate our behaviour and the decisions we make (or don't more to the point).

- Thirdly, this project would expose her, make her vulnerable, everyone would really know who she was, her values and what's important to her. It was a leap of faith in herself. We are all forced to believe in ourselves throughout many events in our lives to instigate the change required.

Woo! Happy Monday ladies!

What are you shedding?
I'm shedding worries about not advancing quick enough, in certain areas of my life. I'm impatient, so when it comes to business and career growth and my health and wellbeing I expect to see results sooner than is realistic.

What are you adding?
I'm adding more structure into my morning routine as I know if I don't start my day right I'm screwed!

You can always count on James Clear to get you back on track.

After spending the last couple of days figuring out what the next 90 look like I thought this might help you formulate some of your thinking if you’re feeling a little overwhelmed by it all.

Here are some of the things I need to stop, start and continue based on my Q1 reflections…

STOP: In Q2, I’m putting a halt to the mental gymnastics - and by that I mean overthinking.

I have a habit of starting things then putting them to one side whilst I ‘think about it’. Or, I delay actioning something because I need to do that first, or that has to be right (AKA perfect) before I can do that over there! It’s exhausting! So here’s to stopping that malarky!!!

START: As we step into Q2, I’m embracing the importance of long-term vision with a renewed commitment to creating my 5-year plan.

It’s time to map out where I want to be mentally, physically, financially, in relationships, and in my career or business. Living in the present is wonderful, but it’s equally crucial to have a clear understanding of where I’m headed. After all, what’s the point of all our efforts if we’re not steering towards something meaningful?

This is my future we’re talking about, and I owe it to myself to plan accordingly.

CONTINUE: Reflecting on Q1, one thing stands out is the power of consistency. It’s not just about starting strong; it’s about staying the course. In Q2, I’m committed to maintaining the momentum I’ve built.

That means sticking to my schedules, following through on my commitments, and staying focused on my goals. It’s so easy to get distracted or derailed, but the words ‘discipline’ and ‘consistency’ keep popping into my subconscious to get me back on track.

If you fast forwarded to June 1st do you still want to be where you were yesterday?

I’m guessing not.

Here’s something that really helped me. Reflecting on the last 3 months, checking my wheel of life and seeing where I’m at against what I prioritised at the beginning of the year.

For example, I prioritised my creative segment on my wheel of life (I want to get from 3 to 7 this year) and as I look back I have started to build on that, dance classes, piano lessons, getting creative on what I put out into the world with my business etc.

I also began the year, as I do every year with a word I want to represent me, a word that defines my year… that for me was the word LOUD. As I reflect I can see that I am living up to that word and need to continue to build on that over the next 90 days.

So what are you building? What measurements do you have in place to benchmark against, not just in your business or career but your life!

What are you stopping, starting and continuing for the next 90 days? Share one thing below 👇🏼

As always if you need help to clarify your thoughts and transform your life and career drop me a DM and let’s talk!

Join me for a workshop on 'Transformation Through Balance' - A Wheel of Life Mastery Workshop.

Thursday (22) night at 8pm (AEST time). Thirty minutes of your time to help you assess where you are on your life compass and what you want to prioritise, followed by what you need to do to make it happen.

It doesn't have to be that hard, sometimes we just need a one pager to cut through and be able to refer back to, to make sure we are on track.

If this time doesn't suit, I'm running them all week, you can find out all the deets here.
