Be unapologetically you (in spite of yourself)
09/22/21 • 30 min
A few takeaways:
- You have the right to take up space.
- Find the voice you use on others and give some of it to yourself!
- Your value as a person is in “being” not “doing” - you’re okay just by being you vs. having to perform
- Do the thing and confidence will come; not the other way around.
- Complete this sentence: “I forgive you for...”
- Make your own choices versus doing what others want (wished she had said “no” to her dad about going into finance)
- Book recommendation: “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself” by Dr. Joe Dispenza

Boundaries and Burnout with Jennifer Bassman
One of the most common topics that comes up when Jennifer speaks to her clients is setting boundaries. We talk about how to create boundaries around the things that make you frustrated and angry. That’s the first clue that you need them! Setting them helps you to 1) Alleviate stress and 2) Be true to your personal values.
Can you relate to this quote from Jennifer directly?
“My personal favorite sign of burnout: your “Give A Damn” busts. Going to work and dealing with absolutely anything is sheer agony. You feel physical pain just thinking about what you need to get done. If one more freaking person asks you for one more freaking thing... you will explode.”
Listen in for tips!

Dream Come True with Jenny Randle
Jenny felt called to be a speaker, but pushed it to the side for a decade. As a recovering procrastinator, she talks about the power of prioritizing the right things and being intentional about making your dream come true.
Some takeaways:
- Take one step at a time - even five minutes a day - to move forward toward your dream.
- Own your gifts and talents. Others may have similar dreams, but the expression of those dreams will be very different because we’re all unique.
- Remember that it’s all about God’s timing
- Her mindset shifted when she realized it’s about God leading her in the dream (versus “all about me”)
Jenny Randle Bio:
Jenny Randle went from a career in the heart of Hollywood to a faith-based author, national speaker, and chart-topping podcaster. Her search for meaning in the everyday moments of life has led her to write her newest book Dream Come True, where Jenny encourages readers to dream on for the glory of God and good of others.
