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

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.

In Episode 183 Lisa shares her perspective about the one ingredient you MUST put in to create success. There are no shortcuts, no easy buttons or any way to bi-pass this ONE important piece of the success puzzle, however you must define it on your terms. This isn't about doing more but being specific about what you're focused on, and how you're spending your time and energy.

In episode 181 Lisa dives into how she redefined success and how you may want to look at your own definition of success. What you might discover is that you have success all wrong.
Success isn't something that is awarded to you when you accomplish something, it is a FEELING that you claim. More and more she sees men and women hanging success on the balance in their bank accounts or comparing themselves to what others have accomplished while completely overlooking the success they already have.
Today's episode is meant to have you take a look at your own life and how often you're pushing away success instead of doing what is necessary to claim it now.

In episode 180 Lisa dives into why hiring a 1:1 coach is the fastest way to results and the mindset that is probably holding you back. In an era of self-help books and group programs at every turn, why is it that so many of you remain stuck when you "know" the thing holding you back? Have you ever considered that the belief you "should" have it figured out on your own IS the block keeping you stuck from taking action? That you're so focused on the problem you think you have that you're not able to see the problem you actually have?
Today's episode talks about the framework Lisa uses with her clients to get them to a place of taking action, and why her clients get the phenomenal results they do.
This is a hard hitting episode that will challenge you to ask yourself tough questions about working with a coach and what might be possible for you if you started working from the perspective that you know nothing.

In episode 177 Lisa shares her reflections on parenting from past to present and how you can become a better mom or dad. There's lots to celebrate every year when Mother's Day rolls around, but what if you didn't have to wait for one day a year to feel valued and special? What if you could feel like you were a priority every day of the year? What if you could just ask for what you want and need without making a story about what that means. Or what if you could just buy your own flowers instead of waiting for someone else to? All these things are possible and it today's episode you'll get to reflect on your own parenting journey and look at how you can improve how you show up for yourself in the years ahead.

In episode 176 Lisa dives into the one of the red flags she sees in clients. The inability to receive from themselves and from others.
Often we've grown up with messages about the importance of giving and being generous, yet it's rarely modelled how to receive. From compliments, to gifts to even giving yourself time, your discomfort in receiving points to a much bigger issue that most aren't aware of.
Today's episode will give you a new perspective on the importance of receiving just as much as giving. They are opposite energies of the same stream and both deserve equal attention. You can't have more in life if you aren't willing to also look at your willingness or unwillingness to receive.
