Welcome

0:05

to the Kelly Roadshow, the place

0:07

for no off easy to implement

0:09

twenty minute or less business

0:12

and leadership lessons to help you

0:14

build a sustainable business that scales.

0:17

lead with integrity and create

0:19

a lasting legacy. I'm

0:21

Kelly Rhodes, former NFL cheerleader and

0:23

Fortune five hundred executive, turn to

0:26

eight at your entrepreneur. Let's

0:28

get started.

0:29

I get the question very

0:32

often from different people in different

0:35

ways asking me

0:37

how I deal with mom guilt and

0:40

how how I feel about the fact that

0:42

I'm so busy and

0:44

have so much attention and focus on

0:46

running my companies, knowing that I

0:48

have an eight year old daughter.

0:50

And I always share the

0:52

question and the answer

0:55

in

0:57

a way that I think is something

0:59

that gives us some food for a thought. And

1:02

that is, what role do

1:04

you believe that you're meant to play

1:07

in your child's life? And

1:09

I think that's a really important question

1:12

to ask. Not just parent, not

1:14

just mom or dad, what

1:16

role are you meant to play? I

1:19

share for myself that

1:21

I believe that Madison is destined for

1:23

greatness, and I believe

1:25

one of my primary functions

1:27

in her life

1:29

is to allow her

1:31

to see and believe that

1:33

anything is possible. I

1:36

see one of my most important roles

1:38

in her life as being

1:40

someone that every single day

1:43

wakes up and chases my dreams and

1:45

believes that I am capable

1:48

of achieving them. And how

1:50

has this impacted Madison? Well,

1:52

Madison is eight years old. And

1:55

the thing that we hear from our friends,

1:57

parents all the time and that we hear

1:59

when she goes on playdates and

2:02

goes to parties and and spends time even

2:04

from her teachers at school, is that

2:06

she's a leader and that

2:08

she sets the example. that

2:11

she speaks articular articulately,

2:13

that she has

2:15

a very strong sense of self

2:18

and confidence. and

2:19

self worth. That's at eight.

2:21

Madison

2:22

came home last

2:25

week and I was on a call and she

2:27

was like waiting so patiently for me to

2:29

get off a call and I was trying to wrap up and

2:31

she's standing there and, you know, she

2:33

didn't tell me, you know, she was just like, I

2:35

you know, waiting and waiting, you know, by my

2:37

side for me to wrap up the call, and I finally

2:39

wrapped up the call, and she said, mom,

2:42

I got the third grade solo. So

2:45

she had win an audition for

2:48

the solo in the musical that

2:52

the

2:52

kids are all putting on for the holidays

2:54

at her school. Now, we didn't

2:56

suggest that she do this. We didn't push her

2:58

to do this. She just

3:01

had the certainty and confidence to do that.

3:03

She wanted the solo. She went for the

3:05

solo. She got the solo. Right?

3:08

And so do I feel mom

3:10

guilt about her seeing me

3:12

work hard, be focused,

3:15

commit to my dreams every single day?

3:17

Ech No. Because I am

3:20

already seeing that

3:22

translate into her mindset, her

3:24

attitude, and her behaviors. in

3:26

life. And because I

3:28

know that a huge

3:30

part of my role and I play a lot of roles in

3:32

Madison's life, like, I'm I'm the person

3:35

that is really managing and

3:37

and teaching her about faith and about

3:39

god and spirituality and introducing

3:41

her to prayer. Right? There's a lot

3:43

of roles that I play. There's a lot of roles that Billy

3:46

plays, and we play different roles for

3:48

her. Right? But

3:50

my role above all else is

3:52

to at the bar extraordinarily high

3:55

in terms of what she thinks is

3:57

possible and available to her

3:59

and then to demonstrate trait how

4:01

to live above the line every single

4:03

day so that when

4:05

she begins to have those goals

4:07

and those dreams for her own life,

4:10

that she understands the behavior

4:12

that will be required to

4:14

make them possible.

4:19

I've shared on many occasions that

4:21

we get podcast sponsorship

4:24

pitches.

4:24

every single week.

4:27

And for

4:27

years now, we've declined every single

4:30

one of them. But recently I came

4:32

across an opportunity to share a

4:34

resource, a team and just an

4:36

overall incredible human being

4:38

with you that I

4:40

felt was important to take action

4:42

on. And today

4:44

I'm excited to have this episode

4:47

sponsored by my friend, Heather.

4:49

show then. Now for

4:51

each and every one of us, we know how much

4:53

energy impacts our

4:56

results. I know you wanna feel

4:58

energized. Encouraged. You

5:00

wanna increase yourself trust. You wanna

5:02

feel all the afters. Right?

5:04

And so I am bringing

5:06

5:09

Heather Chauvin, author of Dine to be a

5:11

good mother and the wildly

5:13

pop your podcast emotionally uncomfortable

5:16

to bring you this episode.

5:19

In order to feel all of those

5:21

afters, first need to get clear

5:23

on me before. So Heather has created

5:25

5:27

5:56

here on the show. and to step

5:58

into that next version of you.

5:59

So go ahead and take action

6:02

now.

6:06

I

6:11

share this with all of you because

6:14

I get these questions all the

6:16

time And I think there are

6:18

so many parents that

6:20

really wrestle, you know, really have this

6:22

internal turmoil about

6:25

how to be great parents, but

6:27

also how to keep up with the demands

6:29

of being an entrepreneur and business

6:32

owner. And it is an extraordinary

6:35

balance. It is so difficult

6:38

to both be the best

6:40

business leader you can be and

6:42

be an all in parent. and I'm not going

6:44

to downplay that at all. I

6:47

have to work hard at it. I have to work

6:49

hard at knowing when

6:51

it's time to really shut off the business.

6:54

And I've shared, you know, I have to many

6:56

times leave my phone at home if I'm doing something

6:58

important or meaningful with my family because

7:00

otherwise I know that I will be distracted.

7:03

Right? You have to, you know, know

7:05

what those triggers are for yourself and you have

7:07

to self manage to allow

7:09

yourself to know what really matters in

7:11

any given moment and to put yourself

7:13

in the space of being present to

7:15

that. But I

7:17

just want you all to know and I

7:19

want you to think differently about

7:22

the role that you play in your children's

7:25

lives above and beyond

7:27

being their parent teaching

7:29

them right and wrong, you know, showing them,

7:31

you know, how to get through their homework or

7:33

how to deal with social issues at school.

7:35

I really want you to look at your business

7:37

and your leadership in your business

7:40

as a a full education

7:42

in and of itself. And I wanna

7:44

challenge you to look for the ways that you

7:46

can get your children involved. How

7:49

can you get them to see up close

7:51

and personally what it is

7:53

that you do, not that they're gonna wanna

7:55

be like you, not that they're gonna wanna do

7:57

what you do. I have no

7:59

disillusioned about the fact that Madison

8:01

is gonna go and do something

8:03

I'm sure completely different

8:06

than what I do. And I am not by

8:08

any stretch of the means disillusioned

8:11

thinking that she will want to be like me

8:13

or do something like what I do.

8:16

But all that matters to me is

8:18

that she believes in her

8:20

heart and soul that number

8:22

one, she's capable. Number

8:24

two, she's worthy. And number three,

8:26

that anything is possible if

8:28

she's willing to do the work and show up

8:30

for herself in that way. So

8:32

let's turn off that parent guilt for

8:34

just a moment. And let's really look

8:37

at our roles through the

8:39

lens of how we can impact and

8:41

influence the next generation by

8:43

setting the bar high. by

8:45

showing them what it looks like to live above the

8:47

line and take total ownership for

8:49

our lives, total ownership for our

8:51

results, total ownership for our behavior.

8:54

and let's swing some doors

8:56

open, let's roll out some

8:58

red carpets, and let's help

9:00

this next generation be

9:02

ready to stand on the shoulders of giants

9:04

to go out in the world and to do

9:06

incredible things that are gonna

9:08

make a massive difference in this

9:10

amazing world to be living. This is

9:12

your inspiration for the day.

9:14

Please pass this episode along to someone

9:16

that you feel it could make a difference for.

9:19

And remember, that you

9:21

being you, a happy, fulfilled,

9:23

successful human being is the

9:25

greatest gift you can give this world. We

9:27

need more people that are happy fulfilled

9:29

and following their dreams and

9:31

that is gonna set the bar high and

9:33

inspire your children to

9:35

greatness. Have a great day.
