3
00:00:28.201 --> 00:00:46.360
Tracey Watts Cirino: I'm your host, Tracey Watts Cirino, and today's episode is not about doing more. It's definitely not about doing more, so I hope you're ready for that, right? Like, let's give that a rest. It's not about doing more.


4
00:00:47.721 --> 00:00:52.881
Tracey Watts Cirino: It's not about pushing harder or fixing yourself.


5
00:00:53.231 --> 00:00:59.921
Tracey Watts Cirino: who's with me on being sick to death of all the New Year stuff that's all about, like.


6
00:00:59.921 --> 00:01:18.591
Tracey Watts Cirino: fixing yourself. Like, ugh, done. This episode is about unlocking abundance. Not just for this moment in time, not even just for this year, but for your life. Like, let's unlock that beyond common abundance.


7
00:01:18.891 --> 00:01:26.710

8
00:01:26.861 --> 00:01:28.011
Tracey Watts Cirino: I want…


9
00:01:28.131 --> 00:01:44.620
Tracey Watts Cirino: to say to you, congratulations and welcome. Welcome to this Beyond Common Party. Because not everyone ends up here. Not everyone pauses long enough to ask


10
00:01:44.811 --> 00:01:49.121
Tracey Watts Cirino: Ask bigger questions of themselves, of…


11
00:01:49.531 --> 00:02:01.770
Tracey Watts Cirino: their business, of their life, of their friendships, right? Not everyone is willing to look honestly at their life and say.


12
00:02:03.941 --> 00:02:05.701
Tracey Watts Cirino: There has to be more.


13
00:02:06.141 --> 00:02:08.210
Tracey Watts Cirino: There just has to be more than this.


14
00:02:09.101 --> 00:02:12.111
Tracey Watts Cirino: So, if you're listening right now.


15
00:02:12.551 --> 00:02:22.031
Tracey Watts Cirino: I want you to know you didn't find this episode by accident. You were led here, my friend. You were led here because…


16
00:02:22.341 --> 00:02:33.561
Tracey Watts Cirino: something in you called… this called you, and that is what I'm here for. That is what I'm available for, and that is what I'm here for. So…


17
00:02:34.011 --> 00:02:37.380
Tracey Watts Cirino: Before we go any further, I just want to say…


18
00:02:37.561 --> 00:02:41.350
Tracey Watts Cirino: Clearly, I deeply respect your time.


19
00:02:42.141 --> 00:02:46.621
Tracey Watts Cirino: Time is the one thing that we never get back.


20
00:02:46.841 --> 00:02:53.540
Tracey Watts Cirino: And the fact that you chose to spend it here tells me something about you.


21
00:02:53.851 --> 00:03:05.451
Tracey Watts Cirino: It tells me you're seeking, that you're seeking. It tells me that you're open, that you're open, expansive, and somewhere…


22
00:03:05.641 --> 00:03:10.910
Tracey Watts Cirino: Inside of you, there's a quiet nudge that says.


23
00:03:11.071 --> 00:03:14.181
Tracey Watts Cirino: I don't just want to survive my life.


24
00:03:15.151 --> 00:03:18.441
Tracey Watts Cirino: I want to actually live it.


25
00:03:18.761 --> 00:03:21.400
Tracey Watts Cirino: I want to actually enjoy it.


26
00:03:21.901 --> 00:03:41.271
Tracey Watts Cirino: So, before we go on, I want you to do something with me. Now, if you're driving, you're gonna have to save this episode and come back. But everybody else that's not driving, if you are listening to this as you get your steps in, if you're…


27
00:03:41.461 --> 00:03:57.010
Tracey Watts Cirino: listening to this while you make your breakfast, or you're cleaning up, doing the dishes, drive… when you're driving is the only thing that's gonna limit you, where you cannot join us, but you will save this and come back. Okay, so…


28
00:03:57.831 --> 00:03:59.501
Tracey Watts Cirino: I want you…


29
00:04:00.091 --> 00:04:12.870
Tracey Watts Cirino: to do this with me, okay? So I want you to place your hand over your heart. I always say, like, your most dominant hand, but just place a hand over your heart.


30
00:04:13.381 --> 00:04:16.271
Tracey Watts Cirino: I want you to take a deep.


31
00:04:21.341 --> 00:04:24.130
Tracey Watts Cirino: Take a deep, intentional breath.


32
00:04:26.781 --> 00:04:31.450
Tracey Watts Cirino: Let's do a bonus one, because that just felt so good, right?


33
00:04:33.301 --> 00:04:40.681
Tracey Watts Cirino: So this deep, intentional breath. And I want you to silently ask yourself this question.


34
00:04:41.031 --> 00:04:41.991
Tracey Watts Cirino: Ready?


35
00:04:43.261 --> 00:04:50.281
Tracey Watts Cirino: What if… It's actually possible For my life.


36
00:04:50.701 --> 00:04:52.830
Tracey Watts Cirino: to feel easier.


37
00:04:53.061 --> 00:04:55.780
Tracey Watts Cirino: AND more abundant.


38
00:04:56.201 --> 00:04:57.980
Tracey Watts Cirino: At the same time.


39
00:04:59.851 --> 00:05:02.091
Tracey Watts Cirino: What if it's possible?


40
00:05:03.611 --> 00:05:09.531
Tracey Watts Cirino: For my life to feel easier and more abundant at the same time.


41
00:05:12.171 --> 00:05:26.781
Tracey Watts Cirino: No, I don't want… like, not later, right? Like, not once you earn it, not once you prove yourself, not once you've checked off everything on your to-do list, and you have all your ducks in a row.


42
00:05:27.081 --> 00:05:31.070
Tracey Watts Cirino: What if it's possible right now? Like, right now.


43
00:05:32.961 --> 00:05:35.810
Tracey Watts Cirino: And just notice what comes up for you.


44
00:05:37.201 --> 00:05:43.160
Tracey Watts Cirino: Because that question alone can crack


45
00:05:44.461 --> 00:05:54.480
Tracey Watts Cirino: something big and profound open. It's gonna… it just… that question alone can really crack something wide open in you.


46
00:05:54.741 --> 00:05:58.440
Tracey Watts Cirino: And… Here's the truth about abundance.


47
00:05:58.851 --> 00:06:03.701
Tracey Watts Cirino: This is what we know to be true, okay? This is what we know to be true.


48
00:06:03.701 --> 00:06:24.131
Tracey Watts Cirino: I wrote down some statistics here, so let me… let me gather myself so I get them. You know, you guys know me. For those of you that have been hanging out for a long time, you know that I have a tendency to go on my tangents, and that is what you all love the most, so thank you for informing us of that.


49
00:06:24.171 --> 00:06:26.771
Tracey Watts Cirino: And for those of you that are new here.


50
00:06:26.841 --> 00:06:41.591
Tracey Watts Cirino: I like to get the facts in order, and then I also like to go on the tangents that are just, like, my soul speaking to you. So, here's what we know to be true. The World Health Organization officially recognizes


51
00:06:41.851 --> 00:06:46.671
Tracey Watts Cirino: Officially. It officially recognizes that burnout


52
00:06:47.111 --> 00:06:52.850
Tracey Watts Cirino: is a workplace phenomenon, right? It is not a personal failure.


53
00:06:53.041 --> 00:07:07.681
Tracey Watts Cirino: Not a personal failure. Research shows that chronic overwork actually reduces productivity Creativity and decision-making abilities.


54
00:07:08.041 --> 00:07:14.601
Tracey Watts Cirino: Yet, we still glorify it. Like, as a society, as a culture, we glorify this.


55
00:07:14.721 --> 00:07:24.361
Tracey Watts Cirino: And neuroscience tells us the brain cannot access intuition Clarity


56
00:07:24.801 --> 00:07:29.871
Tracey Watts Cirino: Or creativity while it's stuck in survival mode.


57
00:07:30.121 --> 00:07:34.531
Tracey Watts Cirino: Oh, you might have to rewind and go back for that. So…


58
00:07:34.911 --> 00:07:37.871
Tracey Watts Cirino: These are 3 things we know to be true.


59
00:07:38.031 --> 00:07:52.221
Tracey Watts Cirino: And yet, and yet, we keep telling ourselves, once I get there, then I'll rest. Once this season of my life is over, then I'll enjoy my life.


60
00:07:53.411 --> 00:08:01.750
Tracey Watts Cirino: Here's the truth no one… no one taught us. Most people do not lack abundance.


61
00:08:01.881 --> 00:08:06.031
Tracey Watts Cirino: They've just never been taught how to receive it.


62
00:08:06.521 --> 00:08:07.561
Tracey Watts Cirino: Right?


63
00:08:07.591 --> 00:08:10.250
Tracey Watts Cirino: Most of us have been taught that, oh.


64
00:08:10.251 --> 00:08:29.201
Tracey Watts Cirino: I must do all of this for everyone else, and, like, overextend, over-promise, over-deliver, and then I get to rest. So it's, like, almost like you're wishing your life away, like, oh, this season. Like, I had a client the other day that was like, oh, once I get through this… this part of my life.


65
00:08:29.860 --> 00:08:37.910
Tracey Watts Cirino: her… child was just entering middle school. Like, her oldest, and then she had younger ones.


66
00:08:38.611 --> 00:08:42.531
Tracey Watts Cirino: That's a pretty long season of life to wish away, my friend.


67
00:08:43.691 --> 00:08:46.920
Tracey Watts Cirino: So that's, like, super profound, right?


68
00:08:47.831 --> 00:08:50.691
Tracey Watts Cirino: So, when we say that


69
00:08:51.851 --> 00:09:05.401
Tracey Watts Cirino: there's more than… like, there's the truth that no one has taught us, right? There's so many things. And so, here… here's one for you. The body is always keeping score.


70
00:09:05.571 --> 00:09:10.071
Tracey Watts Cirino: And eventually, it sends the invoice.


71
00:09:10.491 --> 00:09:21.261
Tracey Watts Cirino: Ugh, can I get an amen to that? Raise your hand if you've experienced this personally, or members of your family or your loved ones, like, are going through this.


72
00:09:21.401 --> 00:09:27.691
Tracey Watts Cirino: So, you can… you can be wildly capable


73
00:09:27.941 --> 00:09:32.551
Tracey Watts Cirino: Wildly capable. And deeply exhausted at the same time.


74
00:09:34.041 --> 00:09:42.561
Tracey Watts Cirino: Let that one settle. Then, over-functioning is often praised as leadership.


75
00:09:43.451 --> 00:09:46.491
Tracey Watts Cirino: Until it costs you your joy.


76
00:09:47.771 --> 00:09:49.990
Tracey Watts Cirino: And I am not…


77
00:09:50.581 --> 00:10:09.560
Tracey Watts Cirino: I am not someone that is okay with that. I am not okay with over-functioning any longer and sacrificing my joy. Like, to me, that payment is like… that's like taking my life, my reason for being existing away, and that's a, like, a check I'm just not…


78
00:10:09.691 --> 00:10:13.361
Tracey Watts Cirino: it's just not worth writing anymore. So…


79
00:10:13.711 --> 00:10:20.561
Tracey Watts Cirino: Another thing is, is the story that you tell yourself


80
00:10:21.591 --> 00:10:25.520
Tracey Watts Cirino: Quietly becomes the life you live loudly.


81
00:10:25.741 --> 00:10:37.371
Tracey Watts Cirino: I get asked this often in my mentorship containers, but what I mean by that is, like, people always tell you, you get paid


82
00:10:38.241 --> 00:10:44.251
Tracey Watts Cirino: you get paid for what you practice privately. So, we look at, like, a star athlete.


83
00:10:45.101 --> 00:10:51.141
Tracey Watts Cirino: they look like, oh wow, they're doing all the things, right? And even they're not 100%, like, no one's 100%.


84
00:10:51.141 --> 00:11:05.741
Tracey Watts Cirino: But you get paid more for what you practice quietly, because then you show up publicly. So what I mean by this is this story that you're telling yourself, like, that you're not worthy, that you're not enough, that you have to prove yourself.


85
00:11:05.921 --> 00:11:09.200
Tracey Watts Cirino: Whether you're aware of it or not.


86
00:11:10.121 --> 00:11:16.541
Tracey Watts Cirino: That is the life you are living loudly, and though you are not aware of it.


87
00:11:17.031 --> 00:11:22.640
Tracey Watts Cirino: Everyone else is observing that you don't think you're worthy of it.


88
00:11:22.921 --> 00:11:42.621
Tracey Watts Cirino: That is, like, one of the number one reasons why people do not get the high-ticket clients, right? Like, that we focus so much of this show on really diving into. This is that one piece. So, I want you to look at it this.


89
00:11:42.641 --> 00:11:47.601
Tracey Watts Cirino: Presence is the gateway to abundance. So…


90
00:11:47.661 --> 00:11:54.751
Tracey Watts Cirino: This is not about shaming yourself, beating yourself up, or fixing. This is about being present.


91
00:11:55.421 --> 00:12:05.261
Tracey Watts Cirino: Being present with all of this, because maybe you are silently sabotaging yourself while you are…


92
00:12:05.411 --> 00:12:18.350
Tracey Watts Cirino: trying to be the cheerleader, trying to coach and mentor people on your team through any challenges that you're having in your business, in life. The thing is, is that you…


93
00:12:19.361 --> 00:12:36.181
Tracey Watts Cirino: have to look at this through the lens of, like, okay, if nothing else, you can always come back to the breath we took. The breath we took, right? Presence is this gateway to abundance. And most of us, most of us were never taught how to be present.


94
00:12:36.241 --> 00:12:41.340
Tracey Watts Cirino: Right? And this is the ultimate present I can give you. So…


95
00:12:43.071 --> 00:12:50.271
Tracey Watts Cirino: Coming back to that breath, coming back to just being present, being here doing this, And nothing else.


96
00:12:51.001 --> 00:12:59.281
Tracey Watts Cirino: Because when you're trying to create abundance while living in survival mode.


97
00:12:59.771 --> 00:13:05.890
Tracey Watts Cirino: It's like trying to grow a garden, like a beautiful garden in a hurricane.


98
00:13:06.251 --> 00:13:09.181
Tracey Watts Cirino: Yes. Is that even possible?


99
00:13:09.691 --> 00:13:20.941
Tracey Watts Cirino: Absolutely not! Right? So, like, imagine that visual. I thought, like, really hard and long about this as a way to really picture this in your mind, right? That…


100
00:13:21.481 --> 00:13:29.541
Tracey Watts Cirino: So many, so many of us are out there trying to create abundance when we're in absolute survival mode.


101
00:13:30.431 --> 00:13:40.211
Tracey Watts Cirino: This is like growing a garden in a hurricane. Like, seriously. Not ideal. This is not an ideal situation. So.


102
00:13:40.371 --> 00:13:53.080
Tracey Watts Cirino: I want to just be very clear. For the sake of today, I want you to fire me as your motivational speaker. Like, just completely fire me. Oh, Tracy's fired, okay?


103
00:13:53.661 --> 00:14:01.661
Tracey Watts Cirino: Because motivation fades, and no matter what day you're listening to this, by tomorrow, like, I often will say, by Monday.


104
00:14:02.051 --> 00:14:09.131
Tracey Watts Cirino: the motivation isn't there. Like, why were you so excited, and you're like, ugh, Really? It fades.


105
00:14:09.341 --> 00:14:17.501
Tracey Watts Cirino: So, instead, instead, hire me as your guide, right? Hire me…


106
00:14:17.511 --> 00:14:30.270
Tracey Watts Cirino: As your guide, your coach, someone who has walked through burnout, self-doubt, the overachievement chaos, the people-pleasing addiction.


107
00:14:30.741 --> 00:14:40.551
Tracey Watts Cirino: where I was hanging by the tiniest thread in survival mode, right? But slowly dying, right? And…


108
00:14:41.531 --> 00:14:44.581
Tracey Watts Cirino: With all that, I…


109
00:14:44.591 --> 00:14:52.721
Tracey Watts Cirino: have been able to find another way. So, I am not here to hype you up, I am not here to…


110
00:14:52.721 --> 00:15:05.290
Tracey Watts Cirino: I'm not here to hype you up, to motivate you, like, that is just not what I do. That is not what I do. I'm here to initiate you into taking ownership in your life. I'm here to help you unlock


111
00:15:05.291 --> 00:15:17.670
Tracey Watts Cirino: your energy for abundance, because it is already within you. And I'm here to help you unlock your energy for abundance in a way that's sustainable.


112
00:15:18.001 --> 00:15:23.501
Tracey Watts Cirino: grounded and real, right? Not so woo-woo, pie in the sky.


113
00:15:24.451 --> 00:15:39.171
Tracey Watts Cirino: So, I've done the struggle walk. I've walked through fire, both literally and figuratively. So, my friend, you do not have to do it alone. You do not have to do it alone. Unless you want to.


114
00:15:39.951 --> 00:15:44.151
Tracey Watts Cirino: And if you want to, make it a conscious, Decision.


115
00:15:45.591 --> 00:15:50.250
Tracey Watts Cirino: So yes, you've probably guessed it from hanging out with me that I'm a little different.


116
00:15:50.391 --> 00:16:13.311
Tracey Watts Cirino: I believe real transformation happens when we blend strategy with what our soul really desires. It's like the practical and spiritual together. I'm sort of that crossroads of both. Like, I have that way of helping you understand what the best strategy is.


117
00:16:13.501 --> 00:16:29.261
Tracey Watts Cirino: But we've gotta get your spirit in alignment to what you really desire. So, there was a time in my life when I believed my worth was something that I had to prove.


118
00:16:29.261 --> 00:16:38.390
Tracey Watts Cirino: I overworked, I overgave, I over-functioned, I people-pleased the heck out of my life.


119
00:16:38.651 --> 00:16:43.630
Tracey Watts Cirino: like… I didn't even know that that was what it was called, I just was…


120
00:16:43.851 --> 00:16:50.041
Tracey Watts Cirino: chronic people pleaser. I attracted people


121
00:16:50.221 --> 00:16:59.270
Tracey Watts Cirino: made me work for my worth. Like, I literally attracted those types of people into my life, and this fed my addiction


122
00:16:59.621 --> 00:17:07.370
Tracey Watts Cirino: to people, please, and… be less than. It just, it fed this addiction.


123
00:17:08.150 --> 00:17:25.600
Tracey Watts Cirino: And at this time in my life, I truly believed that success meant performing. Like, proving. If you can imagine, dancing like a trained monkey, running a marathon that has no finish line.


124
00:17:26.211 --> 00:17:29.110
Tracey Watts Cirino: On a… basically, on a human hamster wheel.


125
00:17:30.841 --> 00:17:48.901
Tracey Watts Cirino: I continually told myself over and over, once I get there, then I'll rest. Once I get there. But there, quote-unquote, there, kept moving. Like, I kept moving that needle. Nobody else did this, I did it. Like, I own that.


126
00:17:49.141 --> 00:18:05.461
Tracey Watts Cirino: I missed moments with my family. I became known back then as the one who never showed up for, like, the real life stuff, like, the real fun. I missed weddings and showers, and graduation parties.


127
00:18:05.721 --> 00:18:11.431
Tracey Watts Cirino: And I told myself that that was the price of success.


128
00:18:13.391 --> 00:18:19.990
Tracey Watts Cirino: Until one day, my body and soul intervened, right? It was like the ultimate wake-up call.


129
00:18:20.191 --> 00:18:31.860
Tracey Watts Cirino: I was out… I was out running errands for work, I mean, usual, right? Like, big shocker, working. My mind was racing a million different directions.


130
00:18:32.951 --> 00:18:51.280
Tracey Watts Cirino: and going over all the things I needed to do. When I think back to, like, living in this state all the time, it's like, I was probably having an out-of-body experience. Like, if you were talking to me, I was probably actually so focused on something else that was fluttering in my mind that I… I wasn't even present to the conversation.


131
00:18:51.771 --> 00:18:58.301
Tracey Watts Cirino: So, you can picture that, out running around crazy, and out of nowhere, the sky turned dark.


132
00:18:59.071 --> 00:19:14.351
Tracey Watts Cirino: it started downpouring, and suddenly, I was hydroplaning in my car, spinning out of control. I was going the wrong direction in oncoming traffic, there were cars coming at me.


133
00:19:15.281 --> 00:19:22.531
Tracey Watts Cirino: And in that moment, I feel like time froze, and I thought, Is this it?


134
00:19:25.231 --> 00:19:27.570
Tracey Watts Cirino: Is this really all there is?


135
00:19:30.881 --> 00:19:32.440
Tracey Watts Cirino: Is my life over?


136
00:19:33.581 --> 00:19:35.111
Tracey Watts Cirino: Are my kids?


137
00:19:35.911 --> 00:19:38.471
Tracey Watts Cirino: Gonna be left without a mother today?


138
00:19:39.651 --> 00:19:43.391
Tracey Watts Cirino: Is my husband becoming a widow?


139
00:19:43.571 --> 00:19:44.641
Tracey Watts Cirino: Today.


140
00:19:46.611 --> 00:19:50.231
Tracey Watts Cirino: When I finally let go of the wheel.


141
00:19:52.271 --> 00:19:55.801
Tracey Watts Cirino: In the car. Let go of the wheel of control.


142
00:19:56.041 --> 00:19:57.840
Tracey Watts Cirino: of the story.


143
00:19:57.961 --> 00:20:00.850
Tracey Watts Cirino: that I had continually told myself.


144
00:20:01.351 --> 00:20:03.011
Tracey Watts Cirino: Everything stopped.


145
00:20:05.621 --> 00:20:15.251
Tracey Watts Cirino: I opened my eyes, And all of the sudden, the sun was out, I was safe.


146
00:20:16.421 --> 00:20:21.000
Tracey Watts Cirino: And miraculously, my car was facing the right direction.


147
00:20:22.601 --> 00:20:24.601
Tracey Watts Cirino: Now, this moment…


148
00:20:25.561 --> 00:20:32.870
Tracey Watts Cirino: this didn't change everything overnight, though, you know, I would love to say that. I feel like so many of the guru stories are…


149
00:20:33.131 --> 00:20:35.520
Tracey Watts Cirino: Oh, this is the moment that changed everything.


150
00:20:35.991 --> 00:20:38.160
Tracey Watts Cirino: It didn't work like that for me.


151
00:20:39.511 --> 00:20:48.991
Tracey Watts Cirino: It didn't change everything overnight, but it changed me. It changed me to my core, to my spirit. It changed me for who I am.


152
00:20:50.031 --> 00:20:58.491
Tracey Watts Cirino: And in that moment, with my hands over my heart, much like I just had you do, I whispered.


153
00:20:59.121 --> 00:21:01.171
Tracey Watts Cirino: God, I hear you.


154
00:21:01.481 --> 00:21:03.041
Tracey Watts Cirino: I see you.


155
00:21:04.231 --> 00:21:08.470
Tracey Watts Cirino: And thank you for this beautiful, wonderful life.


156
00:21:11.391 --> 00:21:21.970
Tracey Watts Cirino: And… there was a shift from that moment, from that day forward, the changes were subtle, but very powerful.


157
00:21:22.301 --> 00:21:27.900
Tracey Watts Cirino: Everything shifted through, like, 3 simple truths.


158
00:21:28.711 --> 00:21:47.021
Tracey Watts Cirino: And this is how I really feel that I started to unlock more and more abundance from within, and why I'm so passionate about shouting it from the rooftops and teaching this and sharing this with other people all around the world, especially, you know, women.


159
00:21:48.331 --> 00:21:52.501
Tracey Watts Cirino: And the first one is, is to be present, right? Be present.


160
00:21:53.131 --> 00:21:57.351
Tracey Watts Cirino: abundance… Only exists in the now.


161
00:21:58.831 --> 00:22:01.010
Tracey Watts Cirino: Not when you've earned it.


162
00:22:01.851 --> 00:22:03.871
Tracey Watts Cirino: Not when you arrive.


163
00:22:05.411 --> 00:22:08.101
Tracey Watts Cirino: Abundance exists in the now.


164
00:22:09.131 --> 00:22:15.051
Tracey Watts Cirino: So, the second thing… was… To love yourself.


165
00:22:15.161 --> 00:22:16.990
Tracey Watts Cirino: And take care of yourself.


166
00:22:17.411 --> 00:22:18.591
Tracey Watts Cirino: So…


167
00:22:18.811 --> 00:22:31.000
Tracey Watts Cirino: self-care isn't indulgence. To me, it's self-leadership. It's how I become the best version of myself. It's how I…


168
00:22:31.181 --> 00:22:35.130
Tracey Watts Cirino: I'm a great leader, a great coach, a great mother, a great wife.


169
00:22:36.691 --> 00:22:38.350
Tracey Watts Cirino: For the longest time.


170
00:22:38.491 --> 00:22:49.100
Tracey Watts Cirino: I was fed that BS about, oh, that's… that's selfish, who do you think you are, right? To take care of yourself. Like, you're supposed to go last.


171
00:22:49.311 --> 00:22:53.641
Tracey Watts Cirino: But the world doesn't need any more people that are…


172
00:22:54.351 --> 00:22:57.440
Tracey Watts Cirino: Stretched too thin, that are…


173
00:22:58.061 --> 00:23:02.751
Tracey Watts Cirino: Waiting for the shoe to drop. That, if someone cuts them off, they're like.


174
00:23:03.491 --> 00:23:13.320
Tracey Watts Cirino: going into total anger mode because they have absolute road rage. And that was me at a different time in my life. So…


175
00:23:13.731 --> 00:23:21.440
Tracey Watts Cirino: The self-care piece is so important because you cannot abandon yourself and expect abundance to stay.


176
00:23:21.441 --> 00:23:36.150
Tracey Watts Cirino: Abundance comes from really trusting yourself. And I used to hide that I regularly, would get a massage, or go on a retreat, or take just a personal vacation just myself.


177
00:23:36.151 --> 00:23:44.231
Tracey Watts Cirino: Because, like, oh, as a leader and mother, like, who are you to have that time for yourself? Like, that's kind of, like, the message I got from the world.


178
00:23:44.961 --> 00:23:47.580
Tracey Watts Cirino: I say now, like, who am I?


179
00:23:47.811 --> 00:23:57.431
Tracey Watts Cirino: I am a leader who is deeply connected to what abundance looks and feels like, and that is how I


180
00:23:58.021 --> 00:24:02.561
Tracey Watts Cirino: greatly serve the world, right? That's how I show up for my family.


181
00:24:02.651 --> 00:24:20.540
Tracey Watts Cirino: And here's the thing, you cannot mess up what is meant for you, right? So, you can't mess it up, you can just make the road longer. So I'm not telling you to beat yourself up if you don't feel like you have time for self-care. I'm letting you know if you want a quicker path.


182
00:24:21.901 --> 00:24:26.301
Tracey Watts Cirino: Loving yourself and taking care of yourself is gonna get you there faster.


183
00:24:28.561 --> 00:24:40.391
Tracey Watts Cirino: And then, the third… the third one is to tell yourself a new story. So, you guys have heard this over and over for those that have been hanging out with us here on Beyond Common Business Secrets for a while, that


184
00:24:40.391 --> 00:24:49.371
Tracey Watts Cirino: Like, stop lying to yourself. Most of the stories we tell ourselves are narratives that served us when we were adolescents, and maybe we haven't dealt with them yet.


185
00:24:50.461 --> 00:24:54.321
Tracey Watts Cirino: That's why sometimes you can look at a grown man or woman


186
00:24:55.101 --> 00:24:58.231
Tracey Watts Cirino: That is having an argument with a child.


187
00:24:58.881 --> 00:25:04.311
Tracey Watts Cirino: Where they're, like, 30 years their senior, but the adult is having


188
00:25:04.451 --> 00:25:13.920
Tracey Watts Cirino: an adolescent reaction, because they haven't dealt with their childhood story, right? Their childhood trauma, whatever it is. So…


189
00:25:14.271 --> 00:25:23.651
Tracey Watts Cirino: when it comes to stop lying to yourself, it's like, I stop telling the story of, I have to prove my worth.


190
00:25:23.931 --> 00:25:33.851
Tracey Watts Cirino: And I replaced it with a new belief, and I started really living from… I am already worthy.


191
00:25:33.961 --> 00:25:36.780
Tracey Watts Cirino: And from this place of being worthy.


192
00:25:38.381 --> 00:25:40.561
Tracey Watts Cirino: What if I create it from there?


193
00:25:41.281 --> 00:25:44.180
Tracey Watts Cirino: Right? Like, what if I just create it from there?


194
00:25:44.401 --> 00:25:50.651
Tracey Watts Cirino: So, I want you to imagine a life where success doesn't cost you your peace.


195
00:25:50.811 --> 00:26:03.140
Tracey Watts Cirino: Where ambition and alignment coexist. It's like the AND life. Where you shine bright without shrinking or apologizing.


196
00:26:04.301 --> 00:26:06.351
Tracey Watts Cirino: That's abundance.


197
00:26:06.911 --> 00:26:09.280
Tracey Watts Cirino: no more doing.


198
00:26:09.471 --> 00:26:11.481
Tracey Watts Cirino: Just more being.


199
00:26:11.661 --> 00:26:18.751
Tracey Watts Cirino: There is that reason. There's a reason we're called human beings, not human doings.


200
00:26:18.991 --> 00:26:27.970
Tracey Watts Cirino: Though that voice in our head would be like, oh, you have to do more, you have to prove it, we might have to do some work to dig in on…


201
00:26:28.081 --> 00:26:29.641
Tracey Watts Cirino: Quieting that voice.


202
00:26:30.341 --> 00:26:44.420
Tracey Watts Cirino: But this is why I created the Beyond Common Method all those years ago. It came after that moment of realizing, like, oh wow, I do have a beautiful…


203
00:26:44.551 --> 00:26:46.021
Tracey Watts Cirino: Wonderful life.


204
00:26:46.221 --> 00:26:50.330
Tracey Watts Cirino: I need to start appreciating it, and being present for those moments.


205
00:26:50.441 --> 00:26:59.940
Tracey Watts Cirino: That is why I created the Beyond Common Method. These are the life skills The life skills, the…


206
00:27:00.241 --> 00:27:13.381
Tracey Watts Cirino: like, we call them success skills, we call them, like, universal truths, we call them so many things, but these are the life skills that most people were never taught.


207
00:27:13.891 --> 00:27:21.871
Tracey Watts Cirino: And… And even if you went to a really fancy, really expensive college.


208
00:27:22.151 --> 00:27:26.040
Tracey Watts Cirino: you still probably weren't taught this, right? And…


209
00:27:26.151 --> 00:27:33.770
Tracey Watts Cirino: that is the thing that is so important, right? That we understand that


210
00:27:34.701 --> 00:27:49.490
Tracey Watts Cirino: we have to feel it within our body. That's what activates that energy and radiates out where everyone else would be drawn to you. Like, that's how you attract the clients, that's how you attract the opportunities.


211
00:27:49.501 --> 00:27:55.721
Tracey Watts Cirino: The loves of your life, like, all the things, the amazing friendships, the,


212
00:27:55.951 --> 00:28:01.750
Tracey Watts Cirino: you know, the opportunity… I mean, if… when I'm looking back at my life.


213
00:28:04.731 --> 00:28:21.161
Tracey Watts Cirino: there's no reason why I got to become a six-time number one international best-selling author, except for that I took care of myself and tapped into my abundance, and believed it was possible long before it was.


214
00:28:21.691 --> 00:28:26.581
Tracey Watts Cirino: long before it was, right? This girl who failed English.


215
00:28:26.821 --> 00:28:31.920
Tracey Watts Cirino: I didn't let that define me. I finally started telling myself a new story.


216
00:28:32.961 --> 00:28:36.090
Tracey Watts Cirino: And if something inside of you


217
00:28:36.251 --> 00:28:40.491
Tracey Watts Cirino: stirred today. If you felt seen.


218
00:28:40.661 --> 00:28:47.810
Tracey Watts Cirino: called out, even pissed off, or called forward. That's not an accident.


219
00:28:48.181 --> 00:28:56.610
Tracey Watts Cirino: Beyond Common isn't just a podcast, it isn't just a book, it isn't just a course. It's an invitation.


220
00:28:57.281 --> 00:29:04.291
Tracey Watts Cirino: To live beyond mediocrity. To lead beyond burnout.


221
00:29:04.901 --> 00:29:11.510
Tracey Watts Cirino: To build a life that actually feels good to live on the inside.


222
00:29:11.791 --> 00:29:18.390
Tracey Watts Cirino: Because the inside, and how you feel about it, that is what matters most.


223
00:29:18.891 --> 00:29:21.500
Tracey Watts Cirino: So let me ask you, my friend.


224
00:29:21.821 --> 00:29:24.850
Tracey Watts Cirino: What story are you ready to release?


225
00:29:25.691 --> 00:29:32.421
Tracey Watts Cirino: What version of you is ready to shine bright, like the diamond in the sky?


226
00:29:33.021 --> 00:29:38.931
Tracey Watts Cirino: So bright, like the star that is leading the way out of the darkness.


227
00:29:40.391 --> 00:29:43.570
Tracey Watts Cirino: Abundance isn't something you chase.


228
00:29:44.891 --> 00:29:47.130
Tracey Watts Cirino: It's something you unlock.


229
00:29:50.431 --> 00:29:57.131
Tracey Watts Cirino: So… As always, I want to congratulate you for being here.


230
00:29:57.351 --> 00:30:02.051
Tracey Watts Cirino: I want to congratulate you for choosing yourself.


231
00:30:02.941 --> 00:30:09.660
Tracey Watts Cirino: I want to congratulate you for listening to Beyond Common Business Secrets.


232
00:30:10.791 --> 00:30:25.391
Tracey Watts Cirino: And I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for sharing the show with your family, your loved ones, your business besties. Thank you for showing up for yourself.


233
00:30:25.391 --> 00:30:33.251
Tracey Watts Cirino: Because the world needs more people like you that are willing to pause, to show up.


234
00:30:34.331 --> 00:30:47.911
Tracey Watts Cirino: and to take aligned action that leads to more peace. That's how we heal the world. That's how we tap into the greatest joy the world has ever seen.


235
00:30:48.271 --> 00:31:01.631
Tracey Watts Cirino: So, as always, my friend, stay beyond amazing, and if something… if you felt something powerful today, share this episode with a friend, leave us


236
00:31:02.281 --> 00:31:14.741
Tracey Watts Cirino: leave us a review, share in the review, the comments, like, inform us how this is landing for you, and as always, I just love you so much. Take care.


237
00:31:14.991 --> 00:31:16.461
Tracey Watts Cirino: I'll see you on the next one.
