Tuning Into Your Inner Soundtracks With Britt Matthews

What if the messages playing in your head were actually holding you back from the life you were meant to live?Today I am joined in the studio by my effervescent and darling daughter, Britt, for a conversation that is as deep as it is spicy. Today we’re talking about soundtracks, which are the internal voices and repetitive thoughts that shape our reality. Inspired by the work of Jon Acuff, we explore how to identify the broken records of overthinking and replace them with messages that are much more aligned with our values and are more positive. We get vulnerable about our own current soundtracks. Britt shares her journey of moving away from hustling for self worth and embracing the mantra that she deserves a love she does not have to chase. Meanwhile, I open up about my people pleasing recovery and the realization that while I can do many things, my energy is expensive and I should focus on the things I am truly great at.If you are struggling with a stuck thought or just need a little spark to get your fire going we’re here to remind you that you have the power to turn down the volume on negativity and curate a sound track that serves you.Episode Highlights[00:01] Studio chaos: Who let the dogs out and why we do not need an agenda.[00:02] The poetry of joy: Discussing Joyce Sullivan and why joy is not a trick.[00:04] Jon Acuff and Soundtracks: Why we love his edgy and accessible take on mindset.[00:05] Fearlessly and wonderfully made: The soundtrack that started before Britt was born.[00:07] Some is better than none: Breaking the lie that there is not enough time.[00:08] Good is good enough: Utilizing Pareto’s Principle in business and life.[00:10] Sponsor Break: Love for Buffalo Rock Pepsi and Holiday Beach Mechanical.[00:11] Nana's legacy: Fashion, ear bobs, and the gift of being a biggest fan.[00:15] Staying in your lane: Why you should not try to be great at everything.[00:16] Energy is expensive: Taking a cue from Taylor Swift on protecting your peace.[00:20] Turning down the dial: Replacing negative tapes with coping actions like exercise and lists.[00:26] The People Pleasing Trap: Why Karen signed up for Orange Theory.[00:32] Relationships and Affirmations: Writing what you need to hear in the moment.[00:35] The Burger King Blessing: How a little spark of energy can change someone's day.[00:38] Curiosity over Fear: Britt’s parting wisdom on the inner artist and being a maker.Special Thanks to Our SponsorsBuffalo Rock Pepsi :www.buffalrock.comHoliday Beach Mechanical:https://holidaybeachmechanical.comHue Salon and Boutique: https://www.huesalonandboutique.comAmor Boutique: https://amorboutiquepc.comBay Tax Solution: https://bay.taxElysian Med Spa: https://elysianmedspa.comFerrucci Ristorante: https://ferruccipc.comAbout BrittBritt is the friend with the messy car, a growing hat collection, and a deep belief that it is never too late to become who you are supposed to be.
