welcome to 2023 with Life Coach Franzannie, I'm your host Franzannie. When you're feeling stuck or unsure I help you figure out how to get out of your own way so you can get what you want through one on one individual coaching sessions. Coaching is all about forging the best path for you through self-reflection and the best way I know how to "show" you how to do that in your life is to live by example. So each week I pick a theme and Tuesday through Friday I'll pick different topics I want to work through 

Coaching gave me the courage believe I could have the life in my dreams and take the action steps to make it happen- I quit my job, sold my house and started my working from home.

Four years in, things are taking a lot longer feel way harder than I could've imagined.

So my theme this year is to Find What Feels Good so I can be obsessed with my life now AND so I'll stick to it. In this podcast, I invite you on this journey with me 

This week I'm talking about what's not going well in my life and how I'm trying to fix it and paying attention to things I can learn from what's going well. The most important thing I want to accomplish about this exercise this week is to look curiously and not critically at myself

Happy Wednesday, today I'm diving into streams of income part 2- my career

why it's not going well (as a stream of income)

• 120+ jobs since July
• no idea when it's going to break

how i got here?

• 2018- tried to get remote work, didn't feel flexible
• 2022- the world changed, my business isn't creating a consistent stream of income- my coach was like- best way to take pressure of your business to make money is to get a job 
• my career lends itself to remote work

what I've learned so far...

• stay open-minded
• iterate- changed my resume multiple times, used recruiter
• rejection sucks
• just start

what's the fix? what can i learn from my past successes?

• feel the feels- ride this rollercoaster
• self-care, self-care, self-care
• reframing- grateful I've found so many positions vs HOW MUCH MORE REJECTION CAN I TAKE?
• let it look different than you want- I'm currently up for a position that has many things I said I didn't want but I'm absolutely so excited about 

how can you get coaching around this?

something not working? we get so caught up and defensive when you've been doing something one way for so long. It can be frustrating to even consider changing direction and you probably feel like you've tried everything but a coaching session can help you get a birds-eye view of your situation and change your perspective- reframing has been essential for me to stay resilient and persevere- I can help you reframe your failures, figure out self-care options or ways to pivot

If that's you, book a session with me
