She’s an author speaker, business Mentor had a wonderful conversation with her last week and she helps women with everything with success and how to take you to the next level wherever you’re at with in your life, Sarah. Welcome to the show.
Sarah Walton- Hey Cameron. I’m so happy to be here. Thanks so much for having me.
Cameron Hemphill – Absolutely. Thank you so much for taking the time. Like I mean I’ve spent some time on your your website. I know that you’ve written a book. It’s published on Amazon, you have a tremendous track record in career like take us down the story. Talk to us and talk to the audience. How you got here?
Sarah Walton– Sure. Um, well, I got you. If only we could do that in a sentence, right Cameron, wouldn’t that be just fantastic? But my story hang onto your hats and glasses people, but my story actually starts when I was five. Yes, five. And for those of you who are old enough to remember PBX used to hold pledge drivers and what they would do during pledge drives show really fa fantastic broadcasts, right? And one of the things that I got to watch and I was little was the nutcracker and I remember watching, you know, these beautiful ballerinas perform and I turned to my mom and said, mom, I want to do that. And um, I did my best. Right? There really fun pictures of me as a small child in any kind of ballet anything you could find me n anywhere I would put it on. And as I grew up, um, in Utah, where I was raised in Sandy, Utah, one of the big big deals at the time, especially if you’re a teenager was to be on the dance team in high school. And so I would watch these girls at halftime. I just absolutely loved it. This was something I really wanted to be able to do. And so came time to try out. When I was 16 years old, I was super scared. I was so excited. This was like Janet Jackson Paula, Abdul chair throwing time. So I like had on like lots of bruises on my knees, lots of throwing stuff. We had so much fun and I got so excited the day of the tryouts because they let us know immediately who had made it and I’d made it and I couldn’t believe it. I was so excited. I didn’t have the formal training. A lot of the other girls did so that was not a given but as excited it as I was a couple of days later, I got the letter about how much the dance costumes were going to cost, right? The company jacket, the shoes and you know Cameron, I don’t know if you’ve ever had one of these moments but it was like,
I kind of watched myself go through this moment. Like I almost lifted up out and like, watch this thing happened to me at 16 because there is no way. We could afford these costumes. We were incredibly poor. I was being raised by a single mom and when I say poor, this was not like, oh, sometimes it was hard. There were times where, what was in the cupboard was a half. A loaf of bread. My mom had made from scratch and a jar of honey yet, right? Like there were a lot of times what I had for breakfast was, you know, Bread and milk. And that was a good day, right? So I’m looking at these, these numbers on this page. And I’m just thinking, how the heck am I going to make this work now? I know you’re all surprised already, but I was very ambitious. So I went and got a job at the mall. And for those of you who don’t know what a mall is, just think, stranger.
And so I went to the mall and I got a job at a little cart selling tchotchkes that nobody needed. But it was the eighties, so it was cool. And I got my first paycheck, and I was so stinking excited because it was enough to put the deposit down on these costumes. But I didn’t have a bank account, so we had to go to the grocery store where I could get this check cashed at the service desk. And as we’re walking into the grocery store, my mom says, Sarah, the strawberries are on sale. Can we get some? And I’m thinking my costume or something on strawberries. And I’m like, yes, we can do both. So I go get my check cashed and I go to find my mom and the, you know, fast express lane checkout and she’s not there. And I’m looking up and down the aisles and I finally see her in line with my younger brother.
With a cart full of groceries and these are groceries. I know she can’t afford to buy, it’s a breakfast cereal. My brother’s favorite breakfast. Cereal, there’s some milk, there’s bread for his sandwiches at school, lunch meat, and the strawberries. And I’m standing there Cameron. And I’m thinking I can take care of something for me that I’ve wanted forever. Or I can take care of my family, but I cannot do both and that moment. That realization for me at 16 ended up dictating almost every decision I made from then on out. I was the only woman in my family, I’ve 65 cousins. I was the only one in my family to go to college. At the time I moved from Salt Lake City to France. I lived in France for two years. And then when I came back to the States, I came to New York City. And I had this incredible career where I kept moving up in the ranks, and I kept moving up to the point that I now have two children. I’m married. I have this gorgeous glass office, and I’m miserable because a sixteen-year-old had decided I couldn’t take care of my family and myself. And so I was taking care of my family, but not taking care of myself. And as this progressed and I realized these were moments of my life, I couldn’t get back. I remembered the grocery store moment. I had forgotten about it for years, but there was a specific moment in my office after my daughter had called and said, Mommy, I miss you and I hung up the phone with her and I could hear the clock ticking in my office.
And each second it was like, that’s a second I don’t get back and that’s a second I don’t get back and it scared the heck out of me and and that was the day where I walked about my office. I went into my boss and I said, here’s how you’re gonna rearrange the department fire me and that’s how this all started
Cameron Hemphill – interesting. Oh my God, you know, it’s amazing where where you’ve come from and it’s almost it’s come full circle in the sense of you know, what happened to you at at that age and and I can absolutely relate on on several levels. Um, that one being from Salt Lake City, Utah, actually. Yeah, maybe yes. So that is completely random by the way that you will hear from the from the same area. Um, and met outside of that area so that that’s really cool. But You know, that moment that you have to say, k dream or or family K like you know, I’m going to take care of my family and that really what what put you in a position to say, okay, I’m going to climb the corporate ladder if you will and, and be a success and make sure I take care of my family financially, right? And and I think that there’s a lot of people that that it happens to them like They, they are so much in fear of, either a losing it all or be, you know, being in a position to not take care of their family financially to only find out that, hey, they are missing the real one-on-one connection with the love. That’s right in front of their eyes which is their their family, right? So what a challenge I can you talk. Talk to us a little bit about that because I think there’s a lot of people especially in The Aesthetics world, like there is a massive social media influence to be successful. There is women that have done a great job and you know, made a tremendous amount of income and success and you know, they’re on stage at all of the events and they have lots of followers. And you know sometimes like How do you, how do you find joy and happiness, and really manage it all and I think it’s interesting to hear from your story like, hey, I got there. I was miserable and I’m doing this right? So like yeah, talk to us about that.
Sarah Walton– Yeah. So there’s a phenomenon and I did not coin this phrase, so I need to give credit where credit is due is a psychologist here in New York. Actually, your name is Terry Cole, who coined the phrase, high-functioning codependence, and it is a phenomenon that hits women Not men, which is fascinating to me. That alone is like, wait, what? Right? And I don’t know that that’s necessarily true. But I think I think it definitely holds true to the trend. Um, and usually if I’m speaking and I say the term high functioning codependence, everyone goes, oh, that’s me. I’m like, dude, I haven’t even defined it yet. How do you know everyone’s like, no, no, no, I can tell that’s me at and it’s this idea that as women, um, usually starts as young girls, right? It’s this idea that we are here to make sure everyone else’s okay and that our needs do not matter and it starts with very small things like, oh, don’t cry. Where’s my pretty girl? And the message there is your emotions are making me uncomfortable. Please stop having them or women are so emotional those types of phrases when actually we’re really not like it’s really amazing, especially in business. Women are incredible at business mostly because of the high functioning codependent. So what happens is over time we get rewarded as women specifically For leaving ourselves out of the equation. And we hear phrase in this is like for all the women listening, right? This is going to be on us to correct, by the way because women are perpetuating the idea and it comes out of phrases like, oh my God, she’s so selfless. She’s so amazing. And we just want to listen to that phrase. She’s so selfless. She has completely lost herself and we’re rewarding that and that’s the codependent piece. So there’s all these women out there who are quote unquote, killing it, what they’re killing. I’m Not sure, but their quote, unquote killing it and they’re like miserable and it’s because the high functioning co-dependents has reached such a fever pitch that they’re making sure their staff is okay, they’re making sure the social media looks. Okay, they’re making sure they look good on the outside because that makes other people happy. They’re making sure that their family is taken care of, and they have completely forgotten who they are. And so, just talking about that phenomenon for so many women, just hearing me talk about it. Now it will start to course, correct. It’s like one of those really cool things that once you learn about it, you don’t forget, like, riding a bike. We all like to say that as coaches, right? Like, once you learn how to do this, you don’t forget. And once you start to see the pattern in yourself and other women, you can start to gently call it out and be like, how are you? And this is Phenomenon with women, where you say, how are you? And they’ll talk about everybody else in their life. Well, This is doing this in my husband did that and my, my mom did that in here. Like no, no. How are you? And it takes him a second. They’re like, who, what? And that’s because we’ve been trained, not to deal with ourselves. And so I think just understanding that phenomenon, understanding it’s not our fault. This has been like part of our societal training for ever, right? Women weren’t even supposed to handle money at all. We were passed from husband’s, you know. I’m sorry from Father’s to husband.
And we had to pay them to even take us. It was like this crazy thing. We didn’t handle it. We just made everything work. Yeah. And that’s still going on and women are still responsible for the majority of the quote unquote invisible work that makes society work. And so as we’re looking at women who are super successful write all these like especially in aesthetic industry, I can totally get that like super super successful. And yet if you were to say what makes you happy, they may not even know. And so if you’re listening and you just went, oh crap, that’s me you want to get that’s no your faults. Totally not your fault. And now you have this extraordinary opportunity to actually stop. It doesn’t take long. Like they can literally be twenty minutes where you actually stop and look back and go, what does make me happy?
And then start doing more of that slowly. I’m not saying blow up your life and like I’m gonna go mountain biking for every day for the rest is not what we’re talking about. But like starting to implement things that make you happy and remembering that your needs are on par with everybody else’s needs in your family, or your life.
Cameron Hemphill – It’s so so, well said, and I think like, there’s, there’s so much comparison that’s taking place right now. That’s fueling that even further to to get yourself even even more lost, right? And so like, I mean, I have an incredible respect for for women and women that are entrepreneurs. I mean, we work with so many of them, I’m married. I have two kids to both of them are daughters, you know. And so, like, I live with them all day. I work with them all day. And, you know, I like, I can see the amount of stress like it, you know, like, I mean there’s a lot of stress on men as well as because like hey you almost have to carry the stress and not show it. Yep. Next a lot of people you know but but women take it to the next level because I mean I mean I don’t wear a suit everyday, I don’t have to do my hair and makeup and you know like like there’s certain things that I just cared like less about like I care about my physical. I’ll look and shape and all that stuff, like I’m into fitness and all that stuff but like I mean, I just have to have, there’s an incredible respect for because you guys second next
Sarah Walton– Yours should say some famous slide, right? Like ginger Rogers did it all too, but backwards and in heels. Yeah, it is phenomenon. It’s really interesting. And I think there is looking good piece of it. Absolutely. There’s no question about that. Like physically looking good and that women are supposed to quote unquote look a certain way. Um, I think even more than that. So what you’re saying for me for my perspective, um, please. No, I absolutely love men, by the way, um, is that there’s the invisible work and that’s the thing that really women just pick up. Right? And when I say that, when I say the invisible work that makes the world work, all the women start laughing and the men look at me like, what are you talking about? And it’s this interesting thing where I say to women, how many things have you done today that did nothing for you but made someone else’s life easier?
And all of a sudden, it’s like, oh my God, the laundry. Oh my God, the lunches, oh my God, this grocery shopping the meal planning, the cleaning the organizing, and that sort of thing that we just, we really do well. And that’s the high functioning piece, right? That whole joke, that like a woman’s brain is like a browser with 85 tab windows open. Like, that’s really, really good at that. And their physiological reasons for that in our brain, which is super cool. We can chat about that if you want, but that because we’re naturally good at it, we continue to do it. And then we get rewarded for being So quote, unquote selfless that we continue to do it and that becomes its own reward to the point that we’re lost.
Cameron Hemphill – Yeah. And it’s almost like, it’s kind of interesting like in this day and age. I mean, in some level, it’s like expected. It’s like it almost like what you said is he invisible work. And then imagine if that invisible work, doesn’t get done for a week. It seems like what happened in the household and hey I’m guilty of it. Like I you know I have to give my wife a tremendous amount of credit like the Hemphill household does not operate with that the CEO. She’s definitely the peo. Yeah. And you know I shoot I’m guilty of not giving her more credit where credit’s due because it’s just like You get in the repetitive motion. Yes, you know. And and I just like cool, she like does the laundry and things and I try to help out and stuff but it’s you nailed it when you said that, that invisible that invisible work.
Sarah Walton– Yeah, that’s pretty powerful stuff. And I mean, listen just having this conversation, I think is so important because it gives all of us. This moment to go. Oh, wait, just because this is how it’s been doesn’t need to stay this way. Oh, maybe not right? And that’s that’s the opportunity here is just to start to check in for all of us and we all get to make that call for ourselves individually. But I think what’s so important is that none of us male or female continue this pattern without examining it that we don’t fall into stuff because that’s the way it’s always been that is catastrophic for each of us because we don’t get to explore every aspect of ourselves and we don’t get to explore every aspect of what we could offer the world
Cameron Hemphill – totally true, you know, and it’s it’s you can focus on on getting lost right with with rising through success and maybe like some of the I don’t know. It’s hard for me to explain but It’s it’s the invisible day-to-day things that women do that go unacknowledged that need to be acknowledged. And then the women that are also like the social media, the the successful entrepreneurs running a very successful practice or business and the amount of weight that that they carry on their shoulders, you know, to build up the successful Empire to Maybe even potentially lose track like what you’re saying of who they are, and are they doing it for the right reasons and is it really making them? Making them happy? So it’s like talk to us. Just a Segway for a second.

Cameron Hemphill – How do you come into the picture from a business mentor coach and and help with that that use case in that framework and and help people because whether they want to admit it or not or whoever like everybody struggles. So especially right now the world’s crazy. So like talk talk to us like like like through that and and how how do you go about that?
Sarah Walton– Yeah. I think there’s a big missing piece and this is a problem I have with my industry makes me very angry. I have my moments or I’m like, ya gotta knock this off but this idea that everybody has to keep up all of these things all the time because that it’s how you make the money. Um, I really don’t agree with that. So that’s one piece of it is as we Well, the way I say this is, I encourage people to break their industry, do not do this the way everybody else does it, do it the way it feels right for you and that’s actually how Trends start. That’s when things get amazing. Is when people stop copying, what everybody else is doing and they break it. It’s so cool to see somebody do that. And it does take some courage. But what I talked about inside that is our shared humanity and one of the things in the coaching industry, so the part that I really hate is this BSI Idea that because you’re financially successful or because you figured several things out which is amazing and should be acknowledged, that you are somehow better than anyone else or that, you somehow have all the answers and that you have somehow lifted yourself up out of our shared humanity and we can see this a lot.
Inside the personal development space, which I spend a lot of time inside. There’s sort of this nasty kind of filament that runs through the entire industry which is, you know, if you’re a good person if you do the right things you should make a lot of money and never get sick or never attractive, bad client, never have anything bad happen to you and if and if you do what would you do to get it? It’s like mmmm, let’s back that truck up a second. Okay, we all have bodies. Any one of us can get the Call at any moment of fraud diagnosis that we didn’t expect. Any one of us can get a call from a police officer who’s like, hey, I’ve got your kid and you’re like, holy crap. I thought that would never happen to me, right? Like, welcome to being on planet Earth, right? Like, we’re all in this together and no work. Nor an amount of success can lift you up out of our shared humanity. And that is where I start with people is you are a human being and people always say to me, but Sarah, what’s your coaching program? I’m like you like I have to work with the individual in front of me and what’s going on with the human being in front of me where the gaps are where the panic is where the hidden fears are and not like the traditional are you scared of success? No, but like the fear that really and truly if I make another million dollars, I’m going to get divorced. Okay, let’s look at that. What’s happening? Where’s this coming from? What’s going on? And why do you believe that those sorts of conversations or conversations I wish more business coaches were having with their clients because we’re not compartmentalised human beings
When you are marriage, isn’t working your business gets affected and sometimes the other way around it. Like I love Tony. Tony Robbins said that when he was going through a divorce, he’s like, he was so successful that time and he’s like my life is getting in the way of my life, right? And I just love that. I just love the humanity of that, and that he was willing to share that and be humble enough to be like, I’ve screwed something up here, right? And that, we all have those moments. And I think it’s actually the professionals and the businesses that share that piece of themselves without Being dramatic. I’m not talking about the people, go on YouTube and go guys it’s been so hard like no that’s not what we’re talking about were talking about like listen, I am really successful in this and I’m doing my best to hang on to this. What do you guys do around this idea? Or what happens here for you guys? What’s your favorite date? Or what’s your favorite thing to do? What did you guys read this month that you love and start getting into our shared Humanity?
And when we do that, what you love, who you are naturally starts to come out and the business starts to explode. I wish I could tell you why that happens. I don’t know. I just know it works and it’s I think it’s this release of pressure. I think it’s this release of facade and I think once we can get into that and have someone stand in the power of like, dude, this is who I am, this is what I love and oh my God I could totally help you with whatever. It is you’re working on now whether it’s your nose, your eyes, your butt, or your something else, right? I got your back, I can totally help you. Oh, by the way, I tripped over my kids toy this morning rather give we can be people with each other.
Everything starts to change because you become safe. Yeah, and you become safe because you are now safe with you and people know when you don’t feel safe with yourself when you don’t trust yourself people know and it’s repellent.
Cameron Hemphill – Yeah, that was so good shake. It’s yeah, you you can lose sight of who you are, right? Yeah. That’s it. Almost the more the more successful you get and you made a comment earlier if I make this if I make another million dollars, am I going to get divorced like there that’s a that’s a true statement. Um, and there there could be some people that are listening in that’s like, wow, I haven’t maybe I’m just getting into this or what are you talking about? If I made a million dollars, I’m I’m going to be successful and my spouse is gonna love me and life is all you know, just happy. Um, and a lot of times like You fight so hard to to achieve those those goals and aspirations and maybe you’ve been working for years to make that first million or whatever it is and you do and you find yourself miserable and on the edge of divorce and I think, you know, there’s a lot of that going on. And so are you saying that when you have these these conversations or, or when you engage with a, with the coaching that you do? Is it that you you have these conversations to an again? I know going through your whole program would probably be on this podcast until you know it was midnight tonight but having those conversations in like having them, remind them of who they are and where they came from and what makes them happy and focus like what did they do today? For example as simple as that that they did for themselves.
Sarah Walton– It can be. Yeah, it really can be. Did you take a second? It can start that way. But I also work very hard on creating a future, right? So if you had a future where things were going well and someone were to write an article about you, what would be in it? What would they talk about? What would they see? And that sort of 10,000 foot view, can really help. And then we pull that into, you know, what do you need to do today to go towards that? And then, you know, I talked a little bit in that past that past segment, there about self-trust, right? And this is really tough for women, right? Going back to high functioning co-dependents what’s happening all the time as self-betrayal. Write my feelings, don’t matter. It doesn’t matter what I think I got to do this because other people need me to do this and so it’s a constant Act of self-betrayal and I’m going to take it to the extreme for a second and just a slight trigger warning is to do a lot of work with women who had been sexually assaulted or raped and when we were healing right working with them to heal, Um, the act itself, the physical act. That wasn’t what needed healing. It was awful, but they could heal that where the real pain was like a hundred percent of the time was I knew I knew when I heard his voice, but I didn’t want to be rude. Everything told me to run, but I didn’t that kind of self betrayal. That’s the extreme and I share that example again not to trigger or to upset but you can see that, right? It’s like women giving up on themselves for what other people might perceive and how dangerous that is for us. And that isn’t as extreme example, but I will tell you there’s not one woman I worked with who didn’t say some version of that. It just it’s like heart-wrenching, right? That is the level to which women have been trained to betray their own needs.
And so, looking at that and looking to heal that, that’s where we start on a daily basis and it can be as small as, did you eat breakfast or did you make sure everybody else ate breakfast. Is your staff taken care of but you didn’t take a salary this month, let’s look at that. These are moments of self-betrayal that lead up to a mountain of not being able to trust yourself. So as we look at the 10,000 foot view of like oh my gosh, what is somebody see for you and like even six months from now? What would somebody see? Oh my gosh, she’s she’s doing so Oh well in her business. She’s so happy and fulfilled. She’s stop dieting. If that’s a thing that she’s worried about all the time, right? Spending more time with her children. Her staff is freaking on fire and they loved her, right? We’re looking at all of these things. What acts of self-betrayal does she need to stop doing in order to reach that? And I will tell you that question alone,
People go quiet for 10 minutes and just right? It’s like oh I could do this and this and this and this and these things that we need to release that as we just kind of picked up along the way that are acts of self-betrayal. And that we start to heal that. So that we become someone who we, we know, we will always be safe with. And so those tiny tiny acts can be everything from. Nope, I stay by myself, for five minutes. Before I go to bed, drinking my favorite herbal tea, and taking a moment to think about the day. And then I go to bed, that can be an act of self healing. Of being safe with yourself and being able to trust herself again and decompress and taking these small moments that as a human being, no matter how much money you’ve made or how many people you’ve helped you need.
And if you make sure that happens for you you start to trust yourself more. So it can be as tiny as that all the way huge to like, could you start taking a salary before I throw something like all the way up there down to those tiny tiny moments. I hope I answered your question Cameron. I know I took a detour there, but I think that was important.
Cameron Hemphill – Yeah, no lapse. Absolutely. I mean, it’s I think the the question that you asked so, you know, wait two minutes and they start writing. I think you know, you just get so caught up in the day-to-day. Um, I have to do this. I have to go to there. My my schedule is packed. I have kids. I have a husband. Everything’s got look perfect. Oh, yeah. Gotta post on social media. Oh, I forgot to post on social media. Okay, we have to run payroll or it’s just crazy, you know, so I think taking the time and doing that exercise is extremely important. Um, You know, and and, and I know that I want to try this. Just a little bit back into like a relationship conversation for a second. Just I was listening to a podcast recently. I’m a pretty big Ed, my left fan and and he’s got some he’s done so many shows but he had a, he had a j Shetty. Yeah. Yeah. You heard of him? Yeah buddy. Yeah, he’s wrote a book recently on love. And, you know, I got a couple of takeaways from him and I actually think it kind of ties into this conversation which is One of the things him and his spouse go through on a daily basis and I kind of picked up on it was was asking each other? You know, what did you do today for you? I love that. Yeah. And I’m like, hey, what did you do today for you? Because the other, the, the spouse is listening, like, oh my gosh, like you’re actually taking the time to ask me what I did for myself, like your, you have interest.
That’s really powerful. Yeah, I haven’t read that book yet, but I’ve heard him, I’ve heard him on a few podcasts as well. It’s just so so good. So good, you know? And and another one that he was saying that I picked up on it again, it ties into this conversation which is, you know, what can I help you with this month, you know, and and that could be, you could relate that to like working. In the practice with your team members in the, in the practice with You know, with whoever the vendor Consulting, whatever, whatever it may be. But you know, taking a step back, just to kind of understand your surroundings versus just go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
And not taking that time to kind of reflect and and see where you can give you no value and and help each other.
Sarah Walton– Yeah. Love that Cameron. I think that’s great. I’m really glad to share that. It’s really important.
Cameron Hemphill – Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. So well, no, this is this is great. I mean, I I really appreciate it. I look I enjoyed getting to know you over the over the past a while and you know, really doing my my research on you. So if if someone wants to engage with you like what where is the best way the audience can find Sarah?
Sarah Walton– Whoa. That’s a great question. Thanks for so nice of you. I need high, you know, I am on Instagram. You can come on over d I mean Instagram, but there’s also I really love when people reach out. This is I’m so old school. I know but I really love when people reach out, you know, just through the website. There’s a whole contact form there and I get so excited when I see something come in. My staff does not read that that comes down You should delegate it or something needs to get handled. I’ll do that. But when someone just writes in and said, you know, and this happens often think I heard you on this podcast you did this or this or said this and I went home and like hug my husband in a different way. I get so freaking excited so please feel free to do that but we also have a YouTube channel that I have a lot of fun on. There’s a show there called Sarah uncut where I kind of just pick a topic and turn on my phone so hang on to your hats and glasses because that can be scary. But it’s also a lot of fun and then yeah we also have my own podcast as Called the game on girlfriend podcast because this is not your practice Life. The game is actually
Cameron Hemphill – on of it and you have any other book out. I know that your book is on Amazon so so Sarah Walton– right, yeah, it’s called redefining success. And that was really how I came out of corporates, because I was so scared for so long. My identity was so wrapped up, you know, in that c-suite title and having the huge staff and so it was like, how can I redefine this and how do we teach other women to redefine this as well?
Cameron Hemphill– Totally, oh my gosh, and so, like, I could just picture you in like this amazing office top of the building, New York City looking out. Freaking. You like I made it. I hate it. I hate it. That was hard for you like, okay. My child called I’m out and then they’re happy like an identity crisis. Maybe for a moment or not a moment, a yes crisis. Yeah, I do I remember.
Sarah Walton– Oh my gosh. I’m so embarrassed to tell this story, but it’s so true talking about shared humanity, right? Like I was sitting I was writing the money the money mindset course, which was the first online course I released and I started coaching people around their relationship to money because my relationship to money given the grocery store, right was a little bit messed up. And so I needed to work on that and I was coaching people through that and sharing that and um, I was writing it and the mailman came to the door and I was like, oh my God, it’s Tuesday at noon and I’m home. I’m such a loser. That’s literally what I said to myself as opposed to holy crap. I left my corporate job and I’m starting something amazing. Know the identity crisis was he’s gonna think I’m a loser and I literally open the door and was like, oh my God, I’m writing I’m working from home. Isn’t this cool? Like I had to explain to the freaking mailman
That I wasn’t a loser for being home on a Tuesday at noon and that was that was I shut the door and went Sarah Walton. What the hell was that? Like it was like one of those moments of like, woman we need to have a conversation here. Like what you’re doing is amazing and just because the outside world doesn’t recognize it with titles and huge salaries yet and all those things that doesn’t mean what you’re doing doesn’t matter. And I really had to have that moment with myself sort of recognizing how much of my own self-worth. I had a attached to what the outside world thought of me and that was that was really tough Cameron. I’m not going to lie.
Cameron Hemphill – That is that is painful like we get we can get caught up in that like because you can share content in. Look at, look at your own content, through someone else’s profile feed or whatever and get caught up in. What does the world think of me? What does the world think of me? What? It’s all my gosh. This is my identity. I have to keep going. Going going, going going. Okay, gone.
But realize like actually, you know what? I’m at peace right now, just chilling at home on a Tuesday, right?
