1:35Come on this journey with me. Each week when you join me, we are going to chase down our goals, overcome adversity, and set you up for a better tomorrow. I'm ready for my close-up.

1:46Heather Monahan:Tell me, have you been enjoying these new bonus confidence classics episodes we've been dropping on you every week? We've literally hundreds of episodes for you to listen to. So these bonuses are a great way to help you find the ones you may have already missed. I hope you love this one as much as I do. Hi and welcome back. I'm so excited you're back here with me this week. Okay, so it has been a crazy week in my world. I've been back and forth to New York. I don't even know how many times. and it was not all seamless. I'm just going to start off there. It was kind of a nightmare. The first flight I had out was like the crack of dawn.

2:25Heather Monahan:I think I was up at three. It was awful. I don't know if you're like this, but when I have a super early flight, I can't sleep all night. So I looked horrible. I ended up buying a baseball hat. That's how bad I looked. I was just like a train wreck and I had to speak at an event and my eyes were swollen, which just was a disaster. But anyways, I let go of it. I'm like, all right, I got to let go of this negativity, find a way to make this work, reconnect with my why, like, why am I doing this? And if I can make a difference in one person's life, you know, it's all worth it. That's what I always say to myself anyhow.

2:57Heather Monahan:And turns out I did. And I'm so proud. I know this guy is going to be listening to you, which makes me so happy. But I had this amazing trip and definitely had the chance to impact not one person's life, but a few. And thank you, by the way, for the nice notes that people send me. And this is just a reminder. When somebody impacts your life in a positive way, let them know. Take two minutes to send a nice note because it might make that difference in that person's life that day, right? And I don't know. It's so good to put good out there. So please take a minute, press pause on the show, and go send a nice note to someone that deserves it, someone that supported you or encourages you.

3:36Heather Monahan:I'm so blessed and lucky to have so many people that encourage me. Now I just reminded myself, I have to go send a nice note to a few people after I'm off the air. Okay, so back to this week. So this young man who had sent me a video note, which is so thoughtful. If you really wanna be thoughtful, that's like super thoughtful. He sent me this video note before I went to New York and basically just said, you know, that what I do and my content, the impact it has on his life and how much it means to him. And it literally made me cry. I made my son watch it. I'm like, look how amazing this young man is.

4:11Heather Monahan:You know, he's not much older than you. I'm saying to my son, I was crying. I was like, this is incredible. Look at the impact you can have on someone's life. Anyhow, my son's like, mom, you're crazy. Get over it. But so I meet this young man at the event and I was so excited to meet him. And we took a picture together. And anyway, when I'm leaving that event, because then I had to jump on a flight right away after that event to come back home. And when I'm leaving, the young man says, oh, you're not coming to dinner? And, you know, there were a bunch of other things at this event that they were doing.

4:42Heather Monahan:And I couldn't because I had to leave. And he says, I'm so bummed I didn't get to spend more time with you. And I'm like, oh, yeah, well, I'll be back. I'll be back in a day and a half because I was coming back to the city for some meetings and to do a show, the Sid and Friends show on ABC. And so he says, well, why don't I just stay? Apparently he didn't live in New York. I didn't know. he says why don't I just stay and I will you know meet you and go on this you know watch you do the show and I'm like oh my gosh that's the sweetest thing I ever heard okay if you want to sure which is a little crazy right I don't even know this kid but there was just something about him that he has this great energy and I don't know he just tugs at my heart so I said yeah sure no problem come meet me and and you can come watch the show so I fly home I'm home for a day I fly back to New York and anyhow, had some meetings, whatever.

5:35Heather Monahan:And then it's the next morning and I'm going to do the show. And the young man's there at ABC studios when I get there in the morning. So I'm like, this is kind of bizarre. Cause now this is the kind of stuff I do in my life. I commit to things and I'm like, Oh geez, I really didn't think that through. Hopefully he's not a killer. Like hopefully he's not a stalker. He wasn't, he's so sweet. And he sat and was writing down the things that I would say that would impact him. So he had this whole thing. I ended up spending a day with him. And at the end of the day, had this whole thing of, you know, important notes that he had taken throughout the day.

6:07Heather Monahan:I have to read them to you. They're so cute. So anyhow, to make a long story longer, it impacted me in such a positive way. But I know that I impacted him because not because of the list, but because of this. So we go, we all go. I'm also with my friend who does my makeup and like assist me and helps me and supports me in every way. Cynthia was with us too. so we're all at the airport together and we're in the american express centurion club which i'm obsessed with amex is not a sponsor of the show but they should be because i'm obsessed with my amex so anyhow we're sitting in lga in the centurion club which i'm literally in every other day these days and i love it there the people are so nice like they're all my people and we're having this great time talking and he asks me he says something to the effect of heather Like, what is like, if you have to point to one thing in your life, like what's the difference maker?

7:00Heather Monahan:Like, you know, what's the real reason why you succeed? Or like, what's your secret? I don't remember exactly. Or like, what's the key? I don't remember exactly how he phrased it, but I remember how I felt when he asked the question and immediately I knew what the answer was. It's my faith that my faith is really what's changed. Listen, I've always been a hard worker. I've always been someone that will seek a solution no matter what. I'm always someone who's going to ask for what she wants. I'm always someone that's going to go bigger. I'm like, that's who I am. But things have changed in such a dramatic way in my life since my faith was strengthened.

7:40Heather Monahan:And I've been talking about it on the show on and off for a little over a year now. And it's just incredible. I know I'm so clear on it. And so many incredible things have happened in my life. It's unbelievable. Actually, it is believable because it's my faith. And however you want to see it, it's a higher power. It's the universe. I see it. It's God in my life. And so my faith is so strong that it's undeniable. And I've just, I'm so grateful for my faith. I'm so grateful that God's given me this gift. And it did not happen overnight, right? It's definitely been a process in my life. but I'm here now and I'm just so grateful and it's so clear to me.

8:26Heather Monahan:So anyhow, so the young man's asking me like, what is your one key or whatever? And I say, it's my faith. And I look at him and I said, what's your relationship with God? Like, and so, you know, then he discloses that it hasn't been, you know, the greatest right now. And I've had times in my life like that too. I remember when I got divorced, I kind of was like, I'm done with church. I'm done with it all. And I'm not judging anybody. But when I saw that that was missing from his life, I knew that's what he needed. It was crazy. It was like one of these moments. It was so clear to me. He needs faith.

8:57Heather Monahan:And so he can take all the notes in the world and like learn all the business tips. And I can give him all my strategies on how to get ahead. But until he unlocks his faith, it's just going to be more challenging than it should be. He ends up going home and his mother's been like giving him a hard time about going to church. And now he's going to go to church with her. And, and I truly believe like he's starting down a path now to strengthen his faith. And I'm so grateful. Oh gosh, I was bawling my eyes out. I was so happy, like overjoyed, like my cup runneth over. It was just an amazing moment for me.

9:32Heather Monahan:And so for anyone listening right now that you're questioning your faith or your faith isn't that strong, that's okay. You're not alone, right? I was totally there. It's been a work in progress, but you can strengthen your faith. And when you do, miracles are going to start happening in your life. Ask God to give you signs and you will see. If you seek, you will find, right? It's really true. And I'm just living proof. And so I can't even put it into words better than this. I mean, I will put it into words better than this because I'm literally writing a book about this. Maybe that's how it came up.

10:04Heather Monahan:Maybe he was asking me what my next book is about. But that's what my next book is going to be the secret art of skipping the line. And it's really a book about the journey to faith with business examples. Okay, that's my concept right now. You got to let me know what you think about that. I can't wait here. Send me a DM. Go to my website. Go to social media. Send me a DM. Let me know what you think. Meet a different guest each week.

10:32Heather Monahan:If you've been following me on social media, then you know I just got back from San Francisco attending the most amazing Mindstone AI weekend intensive.

Ready for every boardroom. netsuite.ai slash Monaghan. I asked you to try to find your passion.

13:23Heather Monahan:To that end, I was sitting here thinking, gosh, I really need to start writing this book. I need to get this down. And I realized I already had started. So I'm going to read you something that I wrote for the new book. I want to hear your feedback. I want to know what you think. But here's something that I had worked on a few months ago. It's coming at you right now. Okay. For years, I traveled the country every week working with my radio stations. As soon as I would land in the city, I would tune into the frequency that we owned in that city, and I would listen to the radio station. When I was in Philly, tuning into 96.5 would get me to our station Wired for today's best hip-hop.

14:01Heather Monahan:Oh my gosh, I love hip-hop, by the way. Then I would fly home to Miami and tune into 96.5 to listen to Power 96, a much more Latin vibe, but still including hip-hop artists. For years, I was so focused on the frequency of the radio stations I was leading, I never stopped to tune into the most important frequency, my own. After getting fired, I suddenly didn't have any radio stations that I needed to tune into anymore. So I started tuning into myself. Here's what I found. The most important frequency and messaging you will find is your own. Paying attention to how your frequency changes and why is life-changing.

14:37Heather Monahan:The factors are so similar to what I used to do when I traveled the country. Location, environment, change the frequency. That's fact. Activity or lack thereof changes the frequency. The people you pull in around you or don't impact your frequency. What you say or don't say impacts the frequency and the message received. How you spend your time changes your frequency. Let me give you some examples. Picture this. You land in a new city knowing you are going to see your team and you love them. And so you're excited and anticipating a fantastic trip. You check into your favorite hotel and feel at home ready for a good night's sleep.

15:15Heather Monahan:The next morning, you head out early to meet your team at the office. They are just as excited to see you and kick off a successful meeting. The frequency is so high and vibrations are off the chart. Ideas are flowing and you can sense something really big is happening. This is high vibration and equally high frequency. When you are running on this level, great ideas come to you, opportunities present themselves, and you are at your best. Conversely, on another day, you are heading over to the corporate office. You have so many memories of being triggered over there by a woman that doesn't like you.

15:48Heather Monahan:This is a true story. The drive over becomes painful, reliving so many negative memories and emotions. By the time you get to the office, you're dreading the day ahead. Your frequency is low. You barely recognize yourself. You give yourself a pep talk and try to pretend that you're in a good mood and excited to be there. putting a false front on only lowers your vibration and frequency even more. Let the games begin. You are immediately ignored, and when you turn to your friend to roll your eyes, your friend messages you how painful the day ahead will be. Things unfold exactly as you knew they would.

16:24Heather Monahan:The day is uncomfortable, unproductive, full of triggers, sarcastic remarks, and a void of creativity or problem solving, as there were low vibrations and a clear lack of trust all the way around. This is low frequency. When you are stuck on this level, you feel stagnant, isolated, fearful, triggered, and drained. This is going to be a chapter in the new book. And one of the things that is different in my life over the last couple of years is my commitment to my energy, protecting my energy, elevating my energy, removing blocks, as well as the frequency that I'm on, right? Like I really, I really believe that this is something that if you're intentional about, self-aware about, it can impact your life greatly.

17:12Heather Monahan:It's impacted mine greatly. So this is just another way. And the guy, the young man, like impacted my frequency in a positive level, right? Like looking at the people you're surrounding yourself with, looking how you're spending your time, being honest with yourself, having honest conversations. When you get the urge to say something, actually falling through and doing it, it's going to elevate your frequency, right? All of these things are ways to elevate your frequency. And that's a very positive thing. Having a lower frequency is not going to bring the opportunities into your life that you want.

17:44Heather Monahan:But listen, here's the thing. No one's going to be on a high frequency all of the time, right? We're going to have negative things are going to occur. They happen to everybody's life. But it's how we respond to them, which is the real key. And so I want to challenge you today to be aware of the frequency that you're on currently. Know that you have the power to change it. Like for me doing this podcast right now raises my frequency because I love hanging with you. I love my show, right? I'm so proud of it. So it makes me excited and it puts me in a good mood. Now, listen, there's plenty of negative things happening in my email right now.

18:17Heather Monahan:I saw some things I didn't want to deal with this morning. But I said, you know what, I'm just going to put a pin in that. I'll get back to it. I'll deal with it later on today. but I wanted to raise my vibration first, right? Like I wanted to go and work out, which makes me feel great. Go for a walk outside, which makes me feel amazing. And then come to my podcast, which puts me on an even higher vibration. You have the power to do all those things in your life. And I know what you're thinking. No, I don't, Heather. You know, my life isn't like yours. Don't forget, I had that 3 a.m. flight or whatever I was on the other day and my life isn't always great either.

18:49Heather Monahan:I have to do things I don't like to do. However, my faith is really the cornerstone of my confidence. And I just have this really strong belief that everything's going to work out. And I ask God every single day, please close the doors that are no longer meant for me. Please open the ones that are. And please show me the way there. I surrender to you. I turn my life over to you, God. Show me the way. And then I thank God for all the miracles in my life. Everything I'm grateful for, my health, my son, my wonderful friends, my beautiful home, this amazing city that I live in, all of these opportunities that come to me, all of the good in my life, and so much more.

19:25Heather Monahan:And, you know, I thank God for everything I'm grateful for every single day. And I encourage you to do the same. And if you don't have a relationship with God, then thank the universe. Thank that higher power out there, because I think we all know that there is a higher power. But I don't want you to feel like, just because this is how I'm handling my life, and, And, you know, how I show up doesn't mean you have to show up that same way. I want you to do what works for you. You'll know, like you'll feel your frequency will be higher when you're aligning in the right way for whatever that looks like for you today.

19:56Heather Monahan:And by the way, that can change over time as well. So, you know, be mindful, be intentional, elevate your frequency. Know that, yes, there's challenges that will come and those challenges will find solutions to overcome those challenges and will be stronger as a result. Right. Like we'll become more resilient, which is a beautiful gift. We'll become savvier. We'll find better ways to overcome the challenges, navigate the challenges. And then we'll start anticipating and expecting these beautiful miracles to be all around us. Meet a different guest each week.

20:36Heather Monahan:If you've been following me on social media, then, you know, I just got back from San Francisco attending the most amazing Mindstone AI weekend intensive.

You're nodding along, contributing, trying to stay present, but in the back of your mind, you're secretly stress scrolling your memory for what was just said or who's supposed to follow up on what.

Granola is game changing for you. Granola is an AI powered notepad built for the way real people actually meet. Here's how it works. You take rough notes like you normally would.

A strong why, a purpose and great relationships. A strong why and purpose is really important in life. If you haven't found yours yet, start asking yourself, what is that why? It all starts with asking good questions. Okay, keep you going. Oh, those things keep you going through tough times. True. Data doesn't lie. That's a fact.
