You and Your Life are 100% Awesome

We have officially reached 200 episodes of the podcast! And if you’ve been listening to the podcast for any length of time, you’ve probably heard me say many times that you and your life are 100% awesome. 

Over the past few weeks, I’ve asked you and my other amazing listeners to share what you’ve learned from this podcast and what it has meant to you. I was so touched and humbled hearing your messages and feel overwhelmed with love and gratitude for you.

Before we dive into the love-fest, I want to share a few things with you.

This is uncomfortable. And I’m doing it anyway.

Honestly, it also feels a little uncomfortable to share these incredibly kind messages. My brain has tried to stop me, telling me it’s braggy or prideful. Compliments and praise can be hard for us to accept.

But I am playing your messages in full because they are your offering. They are an offering that you have given me. And I think they're sacred. I want your voices to be heard.

I want you to know that you being out there matters to me, whether you submitted a message or not, whether you’re listening today for the 200th time or the 1st.

Our brains tell us we’re not good enough. And it’s always a lie.

The second thing that I want you to know is that even though you are about to hear about how great everyone thinks the podcast is, the truth is that even after 200 episodes, every single time I record, I still feel really insecure about it. 

I wonder if it will matter. I wonder if it will help. I wonder if it was too boring or if I made any sense at all…

Because that's what brains do. They tell us that we aren't good enough and that what we do doesn't matter and we don't do it well. And it is always a lie. 

We all have doubts. We all have insecurities. We all worry that the best we have to offer isn't good enough. 

And I don't think you should ever let your brain keep you from what you want to do, from what you feel called to do, from what you are consistently getting those nudges from God from the universe to do. Go do them and stop listening to your brain. 

We live in an awesome world.

I am just in awe of the world that we live in. It is amazing. 

Our ability to influence others is so much bigger than it was for our grandmothers and their grandmothers before them. 

Somehow I am here on the earth at this time and place where some other really brilliant humans figured out how to make it possible for my voice to be in their ears. 

I am so thankful for all of you that I get to have a relationship with and share things with. This podcast has been downloaded in over 90 countries! 

And I want you to know that your capacity to have influence and your capacity to do good in the world has never been so high. Your ability to make a difference has never been as easy. We all have something to give, we all have something to contribute, and I want to encourage you to do it. 

Listen to the full episode to hear, in your own words, what this podcast has meant to you. And thank you so so much for being here. YOU are 100% awesome!

xo,

April
