Today’s solosode is here to push you through, support, and invigorate your hard days.   We often hear people talk about their “good” and “bad” days but I prefer to call them “high” and “hard” days. In this conversation, I want to encourage you to reframe these labels, your mindset, and the definition of what this means for you. Trust me, as a heART-centered entrepreneur I encounter my fair share of hard days, yet I know they’re here to offer me an opportunity to grow.   In this episode discover how to…   Step out of the “concluding” energy of judgment to receive the opportunities being presented Release any unnecessary pressure you’re putting on yourself Remain on your own team when things feel tough Reframe what “challenge” + “hard” mean for you (remember, words cast spells) Redefine what it means to win when you’re in the arena facing a hard day Let me know how this episode impacted you via IG in the comments, DMs + story shares and tag @roxylook + @blackbeltbeauty - I LOVE connec

In this new Solosode I expand on the true essence of strength in softness: “It’s not what you’re looking at, it’s how you’re looking at it. The Empowered lens respects realism while choosing to move forward with optimism. It’s embracing the TRUTH when shit is HARD, but RISING to the challenge with CONFIDENCE in being CAPABLE to move through it + arriving at VICTORY on the other side of the battle. It’s understanding very clearly: there are no handouts to true badassery + SELF-Trust. Gotta step to the battle + EARN your stripes. Many are surprised to hear me say the GREATEST attribute to my UNBREAKABLE STRENGTH is the ETERNAL SOFTNESS within me. You don’t have to BE HARD to BEAT HARD. The Masculine + Feminine working in HARMONY are dangerous to any challenge… you can’t snap a string. Embracing this idea sharpens the winning weapons that are your HEART + MIND. Embracing the challenge is embracing the belief that you can win.” Some highlights of this episode are: The power of remaining flexible + fluid where y

This new Solosode expands on this Instagram post shared below about SELF-Compassion: “SELF-compassion is a gangster tool that supports the ability to move through challenges like a fucking boss. I employ it relentlessly in my life. It’s at the nucleus of SELF-Love. It’s not to be confused with babying yourself. SELF-Compassion allows you to have hard talks with yourself so you can learn, grow, and get better. It brings patience into the picture. It keeps you emotionally agile, fluid, and strong. It supports necessary risk for taking growth in life because you’re not going to beat yourself up when it’s hard, you’re going to cheer your fucking SELF on through it. SELF-Compassion gets your ass back up with resilience to keep going forward in your life because you love yourself. And that thing you’re in the arena fighting for means too much to quit.” xRx ___________________________________________ SELF-Compassion is a badass, high-performance tool.

This week’s guest is my friend, Kara Lazauskas. Kara’s story is nothing short of badass, threaded with resiliency and perseverance. At the young age of 3, she had her left lung removed due to a tumor. She contests that her love for human anatomy and physiology was born from that moment. With Kara’s strong body’s adaptability and continuous push, both mentally and physically, her athletism in high school was so strong, that she received a scholarship to play basketball at the NCAA level. Her basketball career came to a close with 4 ACL reconstructions in her right knee, forcing her to find a new path + really discover who she is outside of competitive sports. This quest brought her to graduate school where she obtained her Master's in muscle physiology under Dr. Andy Galpin and Dr. Irene Tobias studying Muscle Fiber Typing and Protein Signaling at California State University-Fullerton. Today Kara serves as a coach, mentor, and soon-to-be author who empowers others to move through their pain to find new streng

  Most think that Self-Confidence is the KEY ingredient to succeed in life… While Self-Confidence is a vital component to succeeding at anything great in life, I believe SELF-TRUST is the MVP.
