Bobbi's Takeaways

I hope you enjoyed my conversation with Britt. Here are my takeaways from the conversation.

  1. In order to be at your best, ask yourself, what do I need to find a balance, and then be intentional about including that in your daily life. For me, that's being in nature. I have to do something every day that gets me out. And in nature, that's when all is right with the world for me.


  2. Sometimes we need to sit with a loss, and then we can move on from it. But if you don't sit with it, and if you try to rush past it, you may end up with regrets. 

    And we also don't get to complete the experience. And that will cheat us out of the healing that could come with it. 

    Ironically, think of all the messages that we get to either chin up or buck up or move on, or be a trooper. And those are all good things at the appropriate time. But we can't rush past the authentic emotion, or we will miss the healing.


  3. If we all take the vow of sameness, we can never stand out. It's not just okay to be you. The world needs you to be you.


  4. Staying true to who you are, requires courage. And the ability to put your passion before what everyone else thinks. Courage comes from our passion.


  5. Other people won't care about your passion as much as you do. And that's okay. And moreover, if you expect them to care as much as you do, then you're setting yourself up to be disappointed.


  6. If someone doesn't love what you're doing, someone else will. There's a lot of people in the world, what you're doing and who you're being, it will resonate for someone.


  7. The bumps, the wrinkles, the bruises, and the scars come from a life that has truly been well lived.


  8. Don't be the Instagram version. Be the real you. According to Britt, it has three components that I heard. 
    • A strong sense of self. 
    • The second thing is an unwillingness to hide, 
    • And finally, care about people, not what they think of you.
