Well, I’m sorry for the use of the word “potty” in the title, but when you have a 2 1/2 year old in the house, “potty talk” is all the rage. My little girl, Annabella, just graduated to the big leagues: she’s out of diapers and into her brand-new “big girl” underwear and I cannot tell you the sheer relief I feel.

This process ranks right up there as one of the most challenging scenarios I’ve faced as a parent. My hubbie, Rob (the most talented and cutest man I know), and I spent many late nights lying in bed talking, trying to fend off total panic as to how to do this process “right.”

And I learned so much about myself, about my Inner Mean Girl and her Big Fat Lies, and about surrender.

Let me elaborate…

We have no control over anyone else. Really. Let me repeat with feeling: we don’t get to control anyone else. And for me, becoming a parent has been SO humbling – I kept thinking I could somehow control Annabella’s sleeping through the night, eating all her vegetables, and yes, doing #1 and #2 in the potty. My Inner Mean Girl kept saying things to me like:

If you just read the right book, said the right thing, used the right philosophy, all this would be sooo easy.

You’re doing it wrong.

You’re going to really screw her up this time.

You’re a horrible mom.

Ouch. The good news is that I keep using my Three Step Process to get out of the spin and tap into my Inner Wisdom’s Truth:

You’re doing the best you can.

This too shall pass.

Annabella is happy and thriving. (See picture for proof!)

Ahhhhh…that’s better.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I believe we influence, inspire and persuade people all the time. Throw in a good dose of leadership and we have some amazing power to help people “see the light.” But when it comes to potty training, I finally realized that the BEST thing I could do was surrender.  Surrendering the illusion of control meant that I could still teach, support, take advantage of “teachable moments” and set a good example, but it also meant handing over the ultimate control of the process to my smart, capable, amazing daughter (and The Universe) and telling her to go for it.

In other words, I had to get my own resistance to change, my own fears and anxieties and even my hopes out of the way and let go.

I literally said to Annabella, “Sweetie, I love you and am so proud of you. I know you’re going to get through this and use the potty every time. I trust you.”So there you have it. Surrender = potty trained 2 year old smiling and owning her accomplishment.

Now I keep investigating: where else can I surrender?

How can I simply release and let go of it all?

I can think of three projects I’m working on right now that could use a little surrender.

How about YOU?

If you are anything like me, you are harder on yourself than anyone else ever could be… trust me I know, because I too have had to do battle with my Inner Mean Girl and her big fat lies. Lies like “You’re not enough,” “You should do more,” “It will never happen for you.”

This is why I’m so excited to let you know about a FREE virtual event SATURDAY, March 13th,  that you’re not going to want to miss. It’s being hosted by me, Amy Ahlers, and my dear friend and fellow inspirational teacher and coach, Christine Arylo.

If you’re ready to stop being so hard on yourself, you owe it to yourself to join us March 13th for our FREE 75-minute tele-class: Inner Mean Girl Reform School:  How to transform the critical voice in your head so you can stop being so hard on yourself, enjoy your life & feel truly successful.

(Sorry, fellas – this one is only for women – but please share this with the women in your life whom you love – they will be SO grateful!)

If people could see how hard we all are on ourselves, how much we beat ourselves up for everything we are not, they would call the authorities and report a violent crime! The truth is that every high-achieving woman we know silently beats herself up, believing she is the only one. These negative voices slow you down, and make it way harder – sometimes impossible – to achieve the happiness and success we all deserve.

Our process will teach you how to transform your Inner Mean Girl into your Inner Superheroine. You’ll learn how to turn down the negative talk and turn up your biggest asset: your powerful Inner Wisdom.

Join us Saturday March 13th, for our free, live tele-class:Inner Mean Girl Reform School:  How to transform the critical voice in your head so you can stop being so hard on yourself, enjoy your life & feel truly successful.

Last night I was on a run with my pooch, Dozer. We were winding our way up the hills of Oakland and I decided to take a turn up a street that I hadn’t been on before. I was pushing myself physically so I could push my way mentally through all my Inner Mean Girl‘s lies. The lies that tell me I’m not enough. The ones that say I am failing. The ones that complain of overwhelm and lack. (Yes, my dear ones, I coach what I am hungry for!)  As we turned around to make our way back down the hill, I glanced at a house, only to see this gate:

Compassion & Gratitude. Wow. There it was like a beacon, reminding me of all things good in the world. Reminding me to be compassionate—not only with others, but with myself. Giving me a wake-up call of how much I have to be grateful for.

I was floored.

I decided to immediately take out my phone and snap a picture to remember the moment by.

So there I am standing in this random driveway with my dog, sweating and red faced taking pictures of this gate when a car winds its way around the corner. Sure enough it is the owner of the house coming home from work. I feel embarrassed for a moment, thinking she must think I’m casing the joint or something. I give a smile and a wave and begin to make my way down the hill. The owner pulls into her garage.

And something stopped me (my Inner Wisdom?), telling me to turn around and express my appreciation for the gate. I slowly approach and say as her car door opens, “Excuse me? Hi! I just wanted to say thank you so much for your gate. It is beautiful.”

“You’re welcome,” the owner of the house replied, as she made her way out of her garage and met me in her driveway. “I got it on eBay after my divorce a while ago. My ex and I used to have a big sign that said ‘No Solicitors’ and I realized that sign belonged to him. And I needed a new way to greet the world. Compassion and Gratitude. That’s me.”

I got goose bumps as she spoke. We talked for a while. I told her I was a coach; she replied that she does leadership training. We laughed at the serendipity. And of course exchanged emails.

True Story.

So I ask you, my dear friends, clients and fellow adventurers:

What is on your gate?

How are you greeting the world?

Please let me know by posting a comment! I always LOVE hearing from you…

With enthusiasm, love and fun,
