Ep 169: The Power of Role Models

Apr 27

We’re never meant to be a plateaued version of ourselves. We're meant to keep growing! And sometimes, all it takes is a peek into someone else’s life who is living OUR dream, to see that it can be possible for ourselves, too.

Karolina shares what happens when we start to grow and transform, especially when we’re evolving our lifestyle more than the people around us. If you no longer have anyone to look up to, it may be time to find some new role models! There is an endless collection of support and mentorship out there to discover.

You’ll also hear about the explosion of the online coaching space in the past 10 years, plus an invitation to join Karolina in her upcoming coaching certification program. Beautiful, how cool is it that we have so much more power over our careers than we ever used to before? Attaining abundance and having the ability to reach people and live the life is well within your reach!

IN THIS EPISODE:

How role models are powerful influences in our lives (and the incredible value of having an example of how to take your next step)
Your dreams aren’t over once you achieve them - you can create bigger and better dreams from there and continue the growth!
Why it can be so hard to navigate growth and transformation alone, especially if you’re changing your lifestyle and habits more than the people around you.
The dangers of plateauing when it comes to our goals, and why it can lead to dissatisfaction
The importance of representation - we actually need to be able to see people like us doing the thing that we want to do in order for our brains to even think it's a possibility
Why we need to look for new role models and heroes as we continue leveling up
There are three key elements to any good story: there’s always a hero, a challenge, and a mentor. Do you have them all in your life?

REFLECTION QUESTION:

Beautiful, I have a homework assignment for you!

I want you to find five inspiring women or men. Five role models, five heroes, and I want you to REALLY be inspired by them. I'm not talking about people on the same journey as you. I'm talking about people ahead of the game. If you want to be an author, look at authors. If you want to be a business owner, look at business owners, if you want to be this nonprofit, badass boss woman, look at women who are doing incredible work in the world.

Once you have that list, I want you to listen to their podcasts, watch their content, and read their stories.

What inspires you about each of these people and why?

“It doesn't matter what level you're at. Whether you're just starting out, whether you're just wanting to go alcohol-free, whether you're just starting to pick up your passion, or you've already been in business or going after your passion for many, many years… Unless we can see an example of the next step or the next level, or what we really want, we truly can't become it ourselves.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska
