Episode 110 Transcript
Heather (00:04.688)
Welcome to episode 110. In this episode, I want to talk about worthiness, feeling worthy, feeling like you belong wherever you go. And yes, there's a story. So I was roughly 22 years old and I was living in San Diego at the time. And I was dating a guy who was with throughout my entire 20s or most of my 20s from the time I was sort of end of being 21 up to 28 before I moved to Australia. And he was from Florida. He knew this this woman named Jessica Mills and Jessica Mills was the only female in a punk rock band named Less Than Jake. And she was a horn player. So he knew her because they grew up together in Florida.
and Less Than Jake was doing a tour around the States and they came to San Diego. Now they were an up and coming band. They didn't have a big budget. They weren't like famous yet. They were on their way though. They were getting to be quite well known. And so my ex was like, yeah, you guys, you could stay, you could crash at my apartment. That, you know, after the show.
And you know, they're like, yeah, that'd be great. They could save us some money. So I remember, you know, we, they gave us obviously free tickets to go to the show and we were at this big venue in San Diego and it was absolutely sold out. It was packed. It was amazing. There's so many people. And I was like, wow, this is amazing. And, and my boyfriend at the time took me backstage and he ran me across the stage while they were jamming on stage. And the whole experience was really fun. And I remember feeling like kind of.
in awe of the moment, like being on stage and these famous people, these musos, and I was like, wow, this is amazing. Now, after the show, they went back to my boyfriend's house, our apartment at the time, and naturally I went with him and we were hanging out. And I just remember feeling so unworthy. I was absolutely tongue -tied. I felt like a dick. I felt like an idiot. We were just sitting there.
Heather (02:27.408)
in his lounge room or living room and yeah, hanging out and we pulled out sleeping bags and things for them to crash on because there were five of them in the band as a group. And just hanging out and I literally, I don't think I said a thing. I was so, I just didn't know. I just was thinking like, who am I? Who am I to actually talk to these amazing rock stars? And...
So I just, I just remember feeling so awkward and so embarrassed and so in my head, like, what are they thinking about me and blah, blah, blah. So that moment stuck with me and I, like, it popped up in my memory again, the other day could have been all the lion's mane supplements I'm taking maybe, but also just a moment in time. And I remember, you know, cause it kind of made me think differently about successful people from that moment.
and working with Tony Robbins. That was another huge moment for me. I just started realizing that people are just people and we all have gifts. We all have areas of expertise. The thing is, is that some of it is more public facing. You know, if you are a musician and you make it, you know, you are public. If you are a speaker and you make it like Tony Robbins,
Your gift is very public facing in front of a lot of people. But we all have these gifts, all of us. And I carry that with me now wherever I go, no matter who I talk to, no matter who I talk to is basic.
We'll stop that.
Heather (04:20.4)
no matter who I talk to these days is I keep that in mind, right? Where people are just people. So I had an interview, I actually have an interview coming up, I've already...
Heather (04:38.544)
Let me just pause that. Okay.
Heather (04:44.944)
Alright guys, cut, come back to it.
Heather (04:54.544)
So I just keep that in mind now, whatever I do, whatever, you know, the powerful, amazing people that I meet that are in my peer group that I come across. I have an interview coming up in a couple of episodes with a guy named Chris Doe. And this guy, like I still am amazed he said yes to be on the show, to be honest. That's that little worthiness thing, that little mindset thing coming up. It comes up to all of us. But.
you know, he got on the show, you'll hear the episode and he has a huge influence on social media. He's almost a million followers on Instagram, incredible producer, really high caliber clients in the past, pretty cool guy. And I've been following him for a while. So then when he like booked in with me for the show, I was like, shit, who am I to do this interview? The little like less than Jake voice moment came back in. I'm like, wait, hold on a second. Just because he had this,
public -facing agency and worked with big clients and has that personality where, you know, he's out there doing really cool things. He's, he's just a person. He just like literally is. And in that interview, it was a beautiful reminder of that. He has the same struggles and has had the same struggles in his business. He also has a business coach. He also has this, like the same struggles that we all have. It's just that he's more public -facing, like he's just more of a public person. And so I think that.
I wanted to share these stories with you because I wanted you to remember that you are so worthy of being around amazing people and just in general, reflecting back on the good things that you've done in your life. Just this alone, if you've ever started a business and kept it afloat for more than two years, that in and of itself is an accomplishment that most
human beings on our planet cannot ever say that they've done. If you have been a parent, a step parent, like in my case, and raised children, there's so many things to be proud of yourself with. And going ahead, just remember that you are totally worthy and whatever huge, massive projects, people, collaborations, new ventures that you want to start, we all started somewhere and they're just people.
Heather (07:17.264)
They're just people. So go out there and be a good, beautiful, amazing person in this world and strut your stuff because you are amazing. And I'll talk to you in the next episode. Bye guys.
