Hey y'all. Welcome to the Motivation

0:17

Baby podcast. I am your host

0:20

Hills the Motivation babe. And

0:23

I am on a mission to

0:25

empower you and thousands

0:28

of women every single day.

0:30

I think of the Motivation Bay podcast as

0:33

your go-to resource for

0:35

mindset talks that give you the confidence

0:38

to become the best version of

0:41

yourself. I am so

0:43

honored you are here. Get

0:45

ready to level up as we dive in.

0:50

Hello, hello, and

0:52

welcome back to The

0:55

Comeback Season Back

0:57

. Yes, ma'am. This is

1:00

our come back season, and

1:02

I am so honored to

1:04

be here with you. It is your

1:07

girl, it's Hills the Motivation

1:09

babe, and we are back for a brand new

1:11

season. Honestly, I

1:14

feel so aligned with

1:17

this season and the message I'm

1:19

going to share with you, it

1:21

is specific, it

1:24

is an elevated conversation. It

1:26

is what you need to hear right now because it's

1:29

everything I need to hear. And that's what this podcast

1:31

is all about. It's about us growing

1:35

together and me sharing the golden

1:37

nuggets that I am able to share

1:39

with you through the coaching practice I

1:41

have with clients through my learnings

1:43

and teachings with my mentors, the

1:46

books that I read and everything I

1:48

do. It's all to serve you, y'all.

1:51

I'm calling this the Comeback season, and

1:54

I want to address everything,

1:57

everything that has happened in the past year,

2:00

so many of y'all have already caught up on

2:02

the last episode in which I

2:04

catch you up and get super vulnerable

2:07

with what I was going through emotionally

2:10

, uh, the state I was in. And

2:14

honestly, I am just so proud of the episode

2:16

and putting something out there like that because

2:19

it , it just, it , it was so necessary and

2:22

I always wanna be authentic with you and

2:25

man, I, I, I can't believe it.

2:28

I I can't believe the person I

2:30

was this time last year. And think about that for

2:32

yourself, the person you were this time

2:35

last year. Ooh

2:37

, that's deep.

2:40

Look, even if you're in the same place

2:43

per se that you feel you were in last

2:45

year, you know , mentally, I

2:48

guarantee you, you guarantee you

2:50

that you've probably grown somehow,

2:53

some way . You probably had an epiphany

2:55

or a realization that you didn't have

2:57

before. Maybe you have an urge that

3:00

you didn't have before. And I can't wait

3:02

to teach you all about these urges

3:05

and inspirations, these epiphanies

3:07

and how you can leverage them to

3:09

finally break the cycle and create change

3:12

and transformation. That's what the comeback

3:14

season is all about. It's about change and transformation.

3:17

So I don't even know where to begin. Uh,

3:19

this time last year I was almost 200

3:22

pounds. I had a face full

3:24

of adult acne and I was self-sabotaging

3:27

like crazy. I was

3:30

self-sabotaging my relationship , um, my

3:32

business, my career, everything,

3:35

everything, everything, everything. Can

3:37

I talk about that for a minute? Because right

3:39

now I, I need to talk to some

3:41

women who maybe are self-sabotaging,

3:44

not realizing they are, because I, I didn't

3:46

realize what I was doing. I was literally

3:48

so unhappy with myself. I was putting

3:51

the blame on everyone around me. Uh,

3:53

an episode this season we're gonna talk about

3:55

is radical accountability. And I

3:58

finally realized, oh

4:00

my God, it's me. I

4:02

am the one causing everything.

4:05

And , and look, this isn't always the case for everything

4:07

, um, in every situation, but

4:09

there is this level of radical accountability that

4:11

we're able to have in the choices

4:13

we make and the actions we take. And

4:16

here comes a rose, hold on. But it

4:18

was truly taking , um, accountability

4:20

for myself , um, what I was doing.

4:23

If this can help anybody and serve anybody in

4:25

a season of maybe you feel like yourself

4:27

sabotaging, I think a really easy

4:29

way to identify and my self sabotaging

4:32

is , do you feel this unnecessary

4:34

resistance in these areas of your

4:36

life? So think of your life as

4:39

your , uh, physical health, your mental

4:41

health, your financial health, your

4:43

relationship health, your friendship,

4:46

your family, spirituality. Okay?

4:48

So it's like this, the circle wheel , this , uh,

4:51

wheel of life, okay? That's what we use in the

4:53

coaching world. But there is these

4:55

different six to seven areas of your life.

4:58

And if you feel there is

5:00

this unnecessary resistance, okay,

5:03

in certain areas of your life, and

5:05

what that is like is in a relationship,

5:07

I really want a relationship. But

5:09

all you can do is keep bashing

5:12

your, your significant other. Um,

5:14

for, for truly, you know, an

5:17

insignificant reason. At

5:19

least that was my case. It , it was so

5:21

insignificant. It , it was just a

5:23

, a , a point of coming to a

5:26

reasonable understanding of each other and having

5:28

some, you know, real conversations

5:31

, um, really understanding

5:34

how to communicate properly. I,

5:36

I think that's it, you know, when it comes to relationships,

5:38

friendships, and family, it truly is

5:40

about your communication style. I am

5:43

no relationship coach or, you

5:45

know, I am doing my own therapy and my

5:47

own work around communication, but that

5:49

definitely something I worked on the past

5:51

year is just communicating better, more

5:54

openly as best as I can in

5:56

the moment. And it was just, I was

5:59

causing this unnecessary resistance by avoiding

6:01

conversations, by assuming the worst in

6:03

people, places, and things. And

6:06

it , it , it's those internalizations y'all

6:09

right now, I just need you to take into

6:11

account the internalizations you're

6:13

having about your life as

6:15

you're entering the comeback season. You're

6:18

saying this season, I, I want to literally

6:21

transform my life. That's why you're listening to this. You

6:23

didn't click play on mistake

6:26

to this episode. You're here because what

6:28

I'm about to give you is literally, it

6:31

can literally pivot everything

6:33

for you. I I'm giving you everything I

6:36

would , uh, to a client, you

6:38

know, but on a , on a more general basis,

6:40

and this is , uh, my goal is to help you transform

6:43

your life the way I did. So I

6:45

need you to understand the first

6:47

step in all of this, you know, in my journey

6:50

and in hitting to under pounds and having acne

6:52

and almost, you know, ruining my relationships

6:55

, um, I, I had to get real with

6:57

myself. You know, I had to take that rad radical accountability,

6:59

but ultimately I had to understand

7:02

the internalization , um,

7:04

the story that was happening internally

7:07

with myself , uh, me, myself

7:09

and I, we were at war. Okay?

7:14

What is that internal story with you? What,

7:18

what are you telling yourself? What's the story

7:20

happening? Is

7:22

it that you know, the , the good angel or

7:24

the bad angel on one shoulder and one shoulder

7:26

and one say , yes, you can do it the other , he's

7:28

like, no, you can't. It's okay. Just can

7:31

we , we can be honest. We're just taking everything into account right

7:33

now, right? The internalizations

7:35

we're having and the stories we're having, and

7:38

I , I just need you to realize that's step

7:40

one, right? It's a weirdness . Ultimately,

7:43

is that story true? Right?

7:46

If it doesn't serve you, it's not true. I

7:50

need to say that one more time. If the

7:52

story you're telling yourself does not serve

7:54

you, does not make you feel good, that makes

7:56

you feel less than worthy, that

7:58

story is not true. So

8:03

if you're at this point like I was, or,

8:05

or maybe you're in the midst of your transformation,

8:07

but you're just like, can I get there already?

8:10

Like, what is going on? Why is this

8:12

taking so long? I, I wanna

8:14

talk about the season of being still.

8:17

I, I know I, I know, I know

8:20

you want, you want action, you want results.

8:22

You wanna do the things you're like, tell me

8:24

what to do when I'm gonna do it, Hillary . But

8:27

I'm telling you, what if you stop doing

8:29

and you started being, we

8:32

are human beings, not

8:35

human doings. And

8:40

in a season of stillness, I think it's

8:42

just a moment for us to

8:44

be and be with

8:46

ourselves and be with our thoughts

8:49

and intentionally think

8:52

and create what

8:54

this next chapter of our life is

8:56

going to look like. If you feel like life

8:58

is slowing down and things aren't happening

9:01

fast enough, babe, maybe that's

9:03

God, the universe, whatever you wanna call

9:05

it, literally slowing you down on purpose

9:09

to see something, to realize

9:11

something, maybe to make

9:13

something click. Nothing

9:15

happens on coincidence, nothing

9:18

happens by mistake. For us, everything

9:22

we do and encounter

9:25

and an experience in our lives is for

9:27

a purpose. And we really have

9:29

to tune in to,

9:31

maybe it's not working because I'm

9:34

not ready, because

9:36

you know, this, I , I don't know what

9:39

it could possibly be, but

9:42

leaning in and understanding when,

9:45

when we're asking ourselves, well, why isn't

9:47

happening? I , I , I just think that

9:49

there, there is a reason,

9:52

and I often feel like sometimes

9:55

we don't listen. <laugh>

9:58

to what God, the universe I believe

10:00

in God, you know, is telling us, and

10:03

he is telling us to slow down. He's

10:06

telling us that, look what you

10:08

want for your life. It's

10:10

there. This is what I realize . This

10:13

is what I realized. If

10:15

it's meant for you, it will be

10:17

there. It is not going anywhere.

10:21

If it is meant for you, it

10:24

will be there. Trust

10:26

that it is not

10:28

going anywhere. It's

10:31

waiting for you, and it's waiting

10:33

for that perfect time for you

10:35

to receive it and step into

10:38

it. And maybe there's

10:40

just a little bit more work we have

10:42

to do right now, and belief

10:44

we have to have in ourselves to

10:47

fully accept this next

10:50

version of our lives

10:52

for ourselves. Look,

10:55

it's okay. It's okay.

10:58

Wherever you are in

11:00

, in the, in these slow seasons,

11:02

in these still seasons, all you

11:04

gotta do is just listen to me real , like quick

11:06

. All you gotta do is just learn to

11:08

believe in yourself again and again

11:11

and again and again. And when you feel like

11:13

giving up, keep believing, like push

11:15

past the , the breaking point when

11:18

you feel like giving up. We all know this.

11:20

That is when we are so close, we

11:22

are so close, and

11:25

all we have to do is

11:27

just one more time.

11:29

That's what Ed my lut size is like, one

11:31

more time, 1% better every

11:34

single day, every day you wake

11:36

up. Do you know what a blessing it is? Do

11:38

you know how many human beings on this earth didn't,

11:41

weren't given the opportunity to wake

11:43

up today? And the fact that

11:45

you are here is a blessing, and

11:47

that you are learning and that you are growing. Woo

11:50

. You have perfect

11:54

timing, you

11:57

have perfect timing right now. You

11:59

have perfect timing for your life. You have perfect timing

12:02

for the opportunities you

12:05

have, perfect timing. It's all coming. You

12:08

just gotta keep going. You gotta keep believing. I

12:10

know it's hard. I, I I know

12:13

you want it all I , and I also know it's

12:15

all coming for you. Look,

12:17

it's okay if you've lost yourself for a little bit.

12:19

It's okay if, if you forgot who you were.

12:23

The season's all about rediscovering who you are.

12:25

The season is all about rebuilding yourself. It's all

12:27

about building a new version of yourself. It's

12:29

about finding yourself again, rediscovering

12:32

yourself. It's okay if you are lost.

12:34

It's okay if you couldn't recognize yourself.

12:37

It's okay if you've been grieving. It's

12:39

okay if you've been scared. It's okay.

12:42

If you've been hurt, it's

12:44

okay. It's gonna be okay, because

12:48

we get to like pave this

12:50

path forward for ourselves. You're

12:53

not in this alone. We are all

12:55

in this together. And I

12:57

am here to tell you as a

13:00

testament of my journey and as I

13:02

entered the comeback season, that we

13:04

are in this together. And

13:07

I'm going to bring you everything I possibly can

13:09

to help you and teach you and pour into

13:11

you this season of the Motivation

13:13

Bay Podcast. And I'm so honored to be

13:15

back. I hope this episode served you.

13:18

I hope this episode gave you the

13:20

inspiration and the motivation that you needed

13:22

to tap into yourself, to trust

13:25

yourself, to go into your intuition,

13:27

your heart, to, to go into your

13:29

prayer in your journal, whatever it is.

13:32

You didn't listen to this episode on accident. You

13:34

listened to it because you were meant to.

13:37

So take a step back right now and

13:39

pause and reflect. And I want

13:42

you to intentionally think about

13:44

your comeback season and

13:47

what do you intend for yourself in

13:49

the next nine months of 2024.
