This is our last podcast episode for the foreseeable future, but all past episodes will remain online for you to access whenever you like. Now to a question ~ How do you respond to a compliment or some form of success? So often people say their success is a matter of “luck” or “fate.” They’ll say it in response to a compliment or the successful outcome of a job interview or first date. Why would people hand off these important issues and positive results to “luck” or “fate” rather than their own decisions, their own behavior, their own intelligence, their own excellence? This isn’t just about receiving. It’s about owning responsibility for your choices, your actions, your excellence, and success in whatever ways it manifests. So we ask, how can you feel rightfully fabulous, when you’re not owning who you actually are? An Important Message ... Due to the many problems primarily associated with COVID-19, this is our last Overcoming the Fear of Being Fabulous podcast.  And Judith & Jim thank you for your support. However, Judith & Jim still invite you to visit the Overcoming the Fear of Being Fabulous website and take a look around. https://overcomingthefearofbeingfabulous.com/  

Overcoming the Fear of Being Fabulous with Judith & Jim

Ep.157 ~ Do You Rely On Luck Or Fate? ~ Overcoming the Fear of Being Fabulous—Podcast

How do you respond when  ... It’s a certainty, a fact that there will always be disappointment in life. So the most important question is – how do you respond when you experience those shocks, hurts, and sometimes soul-draining, devastating events? Do you collapse, feel like a victim, decide it’s too much to bear? Or do you experience the frustration, the pain and acknowledge that it is real, without covering it over with false humor or developing a stiff upper lip. Because how you respond to being disappointed is either a recipe for gratitude and a life well-lived, or a deeply contaminated recipe for bitterness and the chronic experience of defeat — no matter the actual realities of your current life.

Ep.155 ~ Gratitude ~ Overcoming the Fear of Being Fabulous—Podcast

Do you even dare do it? When you eat out, do you feel comfortable returning dishes or drinks that weren’t prepared like you ordered? Do you even dare do it? We’ve talked with so many people who told us they were horrified at the thought of sending back a well-done hamburger when they ordered rare; or limp bacon when they ordered super crispy; or a malt that’s delivered ahead of your meal when you specified that you wanted it with your meal and not before. Even when we point out that they are paying for something they specified to be made a certain way, they shake their head and are clearly unable to be in charge of themselves in this regard.

Ep.153 ~ Your Life Before Reason and Analysis ~ Overcoming the Fear of Being Fabulous-Podcast

Are you more comfortable being nice or being honest?? How often do you feel you have to be “nice” rather than honest?   So often people short change the other person and themselves by reducing their feedback, whether at work or in their personal lives, to “being nice”, when they could provide valuable communication if they were simply, and respectfully honest. Why would you avoid telling the truth, in favor of being “nice”? Most people say it’s because they are afraid of hurting someone’s feelings. But think about it this way — as the Dean of my graduate school once said, “Nice folks leave a wake of destruction in their path.” So make sure to listen as we unpack that bit of true wisdom!

Ep.149 ~ It's Becoming a Movement ~ Overcoming the Fear of Being Fabulous-Podcast

Do you have permission to express your anger? We ask because one of our podcast listeners asked that we provide an episode about anger — the freedom to express anger. She said there are so many times that she feels angry, whether in her love relationship or at work, but she can’t find the internal permission to express it.  Now this is a very bright, educated, successful woman, and she knows it doesn’t serve her career or her relationship to hold back when she feels angry. So today we’re going to unpack the fear of being furious! Well, actually not the fear of BEING furious, instead it’s the fear of EXPRESSING your fury, whether that be in just disagreeing with people, exposing flaws in their logic, or whatever it might be!

Ep.148 ~ Permission To Get Angry ~ Overcoming the Fear of Being Fabulous ~ Podcast

How much do you focus on what other people think of you? Do you cater to others’ opinions - whether it’s about music, work, health, politics, the latest film, or where to go on your next vacation  - rather than owning your own perspective? In this podcast we’re inviting you to examine – for yourself - what’s known as the difference between Internal vs External Locus of Control. In other words, where do you look to determine your value? Out there in other people’s opinions, style, or habits? Or inside yourself?      To Find Out More ...

Ep.147 ~ Is Your Sense of Self Internal or External? ~ Overcoming the Fear of Being Fabulous ~ Podcast

Do you feel you deserve the success you’ve achieved? Think of all the super stars who killed themselves - one way or another - at the height of their career. Elvis, Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Anthony Bourdain, Robin Williams, Ernest Hemingway, Whitney Houston, Marilyn Monroe and the list goes on and on. It doesn’t matter whether it might have even been an “accidental overdose” or described as an accidental noose around the neck, either way they couldn’t live within the glory and wealth they had earned. So, what about you? Do you feel you deserve the success you’ve achieved? The house or condo you own? The acclaim, the stature the world keeps granting to you?

Ep.146 ~ Do You Deserve It? ~ Overcoming the Fear of Being Fabulous ~ Podcast

Do You Suffer From The Imposter Syndrome? Some of the people we coach, who are leaders in their own right - most of whom work in the tech industry either directly or as joint venture partners - tell us they feel like imposters. They know it’s strange. They acknowledge that there’s no real legitimate reason for it. But they still feel like they can’t quite own the success they’ve achieved. Sometimes it’s easier to understand if someone never went to college, or didn’t graduate from college and yet they are now managing people who have PhDs in Computer Science or Data Analysis. But many times, if not most of the time, people who struggle with the Imposter Syndrome  – no matter their education, professional experience, or even their age – simply can’t stand solidly within their very real accomplishments and feel like rightful owners.

Ep.144 ~ Allow Yourself to Want? ~ Overcoming the Fear of Being Fabulous ~ Podcast

How well do you receive praise and compliments? Do you blow it off when someone compliments you? Do you hide behind false humility, worried that others may think you’re conceited or grand-standing if you simply say “Thank you”? Discover what that says about your relationship with you and how to turn this around. You'll also discover how saying “Thank You” is actually a gift. After all, if you can’t receive acknowledgment from others, and easily say “Thank you” it’s a bit like living in a psychological and spiritual desert.       To Find Out More ...
