Congruent with Lisa Carpenter | The truth beneath success. Why it never feels like enough.

Quitters Sometimes Win. Do You Know Why?

In episode 193, Lisa shares the importance of exploring what you are committed to and why quitting might be the right answer to creating the success you want. Most people believe more equals better, however, the opposite is often true. Letting things go and getting things off your plate will create space to allow more peace and ease into your life. This can be a challenging pill to swallow for most high functioning, driven individuals, however, the consequences of spinning too many plates often comes at the high cost of exhaustion and feeling like you're never doing a good enough job.
Consider for a moment how much your identity is wrapped up in "finishing" and what you make it mean if you quit. But does it mean anything? If quitting is a choice that allows more of what you want in and LESS of what you don't THIS is what it means to win.
Please share this episode if it resonated with you with another ambitious, driven individual who probably needs to hear this message as well.
I'd love to hear from you over on my Instagram at lisacarpenterinc!

Are You Committed To What You Want Or What You Don’t Want?

How Alyssa Went From Anxiety, Overwhelm and Over Doing To Feeling Peaceful And Complete

In Episode 190 Lisa introduces you to her client Alyssa who generously shares her coaching journey.
Alyssa came to Lisa struggling with her health, anxiety, overwhelm and a feeling of being broken. She described herself as relentless in pursuit of self betterment, while not realizing that wanting to find a solution was keeping her trapped in her problems.
In today's episode, you'll learn how Alyssa went from over-functioning, over giving, and over-doing to establishing boundaries that support her energy and allow her to care for her well-being. She's learned how to stand up for herself, let things go that aren't important, release things that aren't her responsibility and identify what her needs and wants are so that she can make those a priority.
Even though she was running a successful business, you might be surprised that Alyssa didn't see herself as successful. As like many highly driven and ambitious women, Alyssa was measuring success through a skewed lens of not enough, which was keeping her trapped in a loop of believing she needed to do more to create the success she wanted without being able to recognize that what she wanted was already right in front of her.
Many of you will see yourself in Alyssa's journey and Lisa's hope is that she will inspire you to never give up in seeking the answers you're looking for but reminding you that when you have the right support you'll be able to find yourself realizing that you have everything you need to feel complete.

How Nicole Went From Overwhelmed And Not Good Enough To Wildly Confident, Free And Successful

In Episode 188, Lisa chats with her client Nicole about the transformation she's experienced over the past 18 months. Nicole went from feeling overwhelmed and constantly in a state of busy, to doing less while creating greater success, more profitability in her business but most importantly more TIME for herself and the people she loves. She's now a priority in her life with a greater sense of balance between business and spending time with her family.
She shares her story of how perfectionism and unrealistic expectations were depleting the joy from her life and her business, and how she overcame these hurdles to re-invent her business model while having more fun and allowing herself to get "messy".

You May Want It But When Will You Let Yourself Have it?

How many times per day do you find yourself thinking about what you want? Perhaps it's about the weight you want to lose, the money you want to make, the trip you want to take, the vision you have for coaching with Lisa or the TIME you want to chill out, relax and find some peace? In episode 187, Lisa shares some personal reflections about the stories she would tell herself about her dreams and desires. She was living in the "when /then" thought loop that so many of you don't realize you're also living in. Desire doesn't create your dreams, but taking action will. In today's powerful episode, Lisa challenges her listeners to look at what they're holding at arms length from themselves and the stories and excuses they're using as to why they can't yet have their desires realized.
You say you want it, but are you willing to get uncomfortable and take action to have it?

The Full Frontal Living™ Four Step Method For Lasting Transformation

What’s Really Behind Your Self-Worthiness Struggle with Sandra Chuma

There are people who just radiate something special. It makes you feel better seeing them or being around them. Sandra Chuma is definitely that type of person to me. Her spirit just can’t help but shine through everything she does.
She didn’t see herself this way, though. She struggled with worthiness and hiding her light (as so many women are conditioned to do). Then she realized there were plenty of others who struggle with the same. In this episode, she and I talk about self-worth and habits as ways in which we truly demonstrate the strength (or lack thereof) of self-love we have for ourselves.
4:25 - The dangers of comparison-itis and feeling not good enough
7:42 - Milestones that anchor that feeling of not being good enough and how they eventually affected Sandra’s health
9:55 - Life experiences that made Sandra and myself feel like we weren’t good enough
13:40 - Why degrees (for the most part) don’t matter nearly as much as you think they do when it comes to work
17:54 - How to know if you have a lack of self-worth regarding any part of your life
22:11 - Why most people find it easier to look outside themselves to place blame for their worthiness issues
26:05 - The most important boundaries you’ll ever set for yourself
28:55 - The difference in how I treated myself when on-stage recently versus my past self
33:03 - Why curiosity and critical self-judgment can’t co-exist
36:41 - What happens when you understand what it means to stand in your worthiness
38:08 - Our propensity to default to our habits in times of stress
43:32 - The huge emotional propeller of worthiness that too many women don’t acknowledge (and an exercise to flip the script)
49:32 - The conversation I had with Sandra that compelled her to stop hesitating and share her gift with the world.
