So on today’s wise walk, we are talking about how to honor your made-up rules when you say yes, and as we stride together, the questions on your minds are: When you say yes, are you really clear on your why, and do you hold space to accomplish your why and see what is possible? As you progress, do you pay attention to your feelings, what’s working and what’s not, and do you check in with yourself regularly to celebrate your milestones or pivot if something feels off? In what ways do you use challenges in your life to grow, expand, create some lessons and muscle memory with every yes you take?
In this episode, my good friend Leigh P. Farrow is my guest. Leigh is a talented individual in so many ways and the creator of #piecefulpath. She has had an amazing career that has spanned many different industries and businesses. Still, her main thing in life is empowering individuals to lead their lives with creativity, innovation, transformation, and results. Leigh is a great wife, fur mom, author, and speaker, and she runs a series called Animated Wisdom; and she is driven to inform, inspire, and ignite people’s passion on their leadership journey.
Leigh and I are talking about our experience with the #100dayproject and talking with our striders about how we put ourselves out there, say yes to things, and take some challenges to see what we are capable of. Listen as Leigh shares why she committed to the 100 day project by doing mosaic bricks and what she has gained from the experience so far. Leigh has decided to use her mosaic bricks to build a wall around her garden so it will appear as a vertical mural for everyone to enjoy. At the end of the project, Leigh will have 100 amazing compilations representing so many different parts of her and intentionally represent things that are a passion for her.
Leigh is a woman that always sparks my Heart Vibe, she and I energize and support each other every day, and I feel so blessed to call her my friend, and I’m thrilled that I got to share her with you.
Challenges are all about holding space and honoring you; your made-up rules however you see fit that fuels what’s inside of you. So whether you do that privately or publicly on Instagram, just honor the artist within you and honor what’s sparking and speaking to you. Whether you do challenges for one day or a hundred days, there is growth and expansion happening each time you say yes.
