Well, hello friends. This is Kimberly. It's episode 326.

SPEAKER_01: 0:08

And I am so thankful that you are here today because today is a big episode. I'm super excited about it. And this format of this episode is nothing like my other ones. I am riffing on this and I'm just going through it and I'm telling you because y'all feel like friends to me. And it's like if I picked up the phone and I called you and I was like, oh my goodness, I have to tell you something. That's what I'm doing. I'm I'm telling you something that I've been kind of holding in. I haven't told many people either at all. Um, my husband doesn't even totally know, just had to tell you all that. And y'all are like, wait, what? And like, no, because sometimes when you're making a change, you need to just do it. And so I'll tell him today. But this is what I'm doing. I'm so excited for y'all, by the way. This is gonna be amazing. This is gonna be amazing. Okay, here it is. I'm gonna tell you what it is, and then I kind of want to go through some things with you because I think it's a good lesson for you, like whether it's with your business or with life, how we have to work through things and how we have to view things and what we have to do. So here is the announcement. The announcement is that we are about to start season two of the She's Just Getting Started podcast. So all of these previous 325 episodes, plus this one, number 326, will soon show up as season one. And then season two will be starting. Now, until I get episode one of season two out, it will not show seasons. So when you're listening to this, if you're, you know, I'm this this is January 8th that it's going to be released. So if you're around that time, uh probably for the next week, the until I put another episode out, you won't see two seasons. But there's going to be two seasons because we want to delineate between these first episodes and the ones to come. So the first episodes, all the 325 plus this one, y'all know we have talked about business. We've talked about turning your passion into a business. We have talked about getting past the fear and procrastination and perfectionism to actually start this business that you've been wanting to do. And many of you have had some type of gift, something you're really good at, and you've wanted to turn it into a business part-time or whatever it is. And we've gone through all the steps for that. And I feel so proud and happy of all of our first episodes because so many of you told me that it helped you. It changed your life and it came to you just in the moment that you needed it. And I'm so grateful this podcast is a blast. That's why I'm still doing it. It's amazing, right? But those first episodes were about business. But there was a small, like, I don't know if you want to compare it to like a heading and a subheading. The heading was business, and the subheading was like self-improvement. It's like ways to look at things, mindset, motivation, all that. Well, now I'm looking to kind of swap that. And season two is gonna look more like self-improvement as the main umbrella. And I will talk about business, right? I will talk about business. How can I not? It's a huge part of my life. 26 years of it has been me running businesses. So how how could it not? Right. So season two, I'm envisioning taking all that we've learned, all those like ways that we approach getting past the fear and doing all the things to start a business. I want to expand that to more areas of your life. So not just business, but maybe your relationships, maybe it's your health, mental or physical health, maybe it's your business or career. I want it to bridge the gap between using those tools just for business, but using these tools and the approaches for all areas of your life. So, how exciting is this? I'm going to kind of mold it more into a self-improvement podcast with a little tinge of business, but I truly believe that if you're here for business and you're like, I just need business talk, listen to whole season one when it appears. In season two, we're going to be expanding on that. All of it will be applicable to your business because the way you approach life will also be the way you should approach your business, right? And vice versa. I'm just expanding. I've felt this tug for a while that I wanted to expand to more topics. And I love self-help. I love self-improvement. I love pursuing greater things in my life. I don't like stagnation. Uh, but sometimes I find myself getting stuck because I don't have the tools or I don't have the courage. And I don't know if you feel this too, right? And so that's why I want to expand the topics and possibly have more guests that are maybe authors or people that are experts in these topics to help all of us. So I am curious like you. I want to learn from other people. And this gives me the opportunity to bring people on and not just ask about business, but actually learn about more areas of our life that we can improve on. I'm 53 years old, and you know, I'm halfway through my life, probably a little more than halfway through, and I want the next years to be the best. I want to be my most confident self. I want to be in control of what I'm doing. I want to live life and have a blast. Um, I want to know how to become the woman that God intended me to be. And I believe that He wants that for you too. I believe that God sees you for the person that you are, has given you specific gifts, and is yearning for you and all of us to embrace that and become that. But we often let our humanness get in the way. So I want to talk about all those human things that get in our way, that keep us hiding, that keep us, you know, from not doing things and like give us the courage, the confidence, the tools to make positive change in our life and to live a more fulfilling and impactful and purposeful life. Are you all hearing me? We can do this together. So, what I think is fun is we're kind of coming together on this. Where before it was me talking from my expert point of view on business. And now I kind of am seeing myself pulling back to being curious, like you and learning. Now, I will have my own things that I'm an expert on, and you have things that you're an expert on too, whether you realize it or not, right? So I will comment as I feel like I can add value. But I, and I may do solo episodes until I can get the right first interview that I want to have. But I think that my vision, and this is what I'm hoping, y'all. This is all imperfect action, by the way. My vision is to possibly start doing more video too and do some interviews in person. In fact, fun fact here. Yesterday I went to a podcast studio here in my area, and they have like cute chairs and the background and cameras and lighting, and they video, they have three cameras and they video you and good microphones and they edit the video. And I was like, oh my gosh, this could go on YouTube. It looks way more professional than what I'm doing now. And that got me really excited, and that gets my wheels turning. So I'm kind of seeing this vision, but I honestly don't know where it's all going. I'm taking imperfect action just like I teach you. Okay. I'm following my vision. I'm taking in perfect action. Here's the good news I'm still here. I'm still a business coach. Courses are still there, everything's there. I can help you, my clients, I'm still helping. But what I'm saying is, I feel this tug to a new season of my life in my career, in my personal life. My daughter is a junior in high school. She'll be going to college in a year and a half. I'm seeing that evolution in my family home. And my husband keeps saying, Why don't you start traveling with me more? And so I do need a little more freedom. So I'm embarking on this new season of my actual life living here, but I feel it in this business. And I don't know what that means for this. I honestly don't know what that means. But right now, everything's the same. So nobody worry, nobody stress. This podcast is simply going to be expanding, expanding to more topics. So I'm not going anywhere, I'm here, and you know I will tell you when things are changing. But right now, this is where we are, and I'm super stoked about it. I would love any comments that you have. If you go to Kimberlybrock.com and you go up to podcast, you will see if you scroll down just a little bit on the podcast page, there's a little form and you can you can share your thoughts. Like I would love any feedback on what you think about this. If you think that that fits with me, if you've been listening to me a long time and you're like, yeah, this is making total sense. Or no, I just want to talk about business. Now, everyone be kind. Okay. No one, no one, you know, say anything disparaging, but I would love to hear your thoughts. I'm super excited about this, in case you can't tell, that I get to like use my creative brain to create a new season. And I know all of you that are creatives, maybe you're artists, maybe you're makers, you get excited to create something new. And that's kind of what I'm doing. Mine isn't, it's not even totally new. It's just an expansion. It's almost like if you created more products for your product line. I'm just expanding on the topic so that I have more creative freedom to learn more and to have more guests and to share with you even more knowledge that I think you can help your whole life and not just business. Does that make sense? Y'all, I'm so excited. I know that you have more to experience and learn and have joy from in your life. I believe you know it. I think we all have a knowing. I think you're here because you have a knowing that you're meant for more. You just may not have had the courage or the tools to make it happen. And that's what my mission is is to help give you the tools and the courage and to show you that I'm a real human too, and I'm going through things just like you. And we can do this together. And I think it'll be so fun. I feel like we're a team. I feel like we are a team. Y'all, we are just getting started. Do you realize this? Like, that's my whole mission. Like, this is the moment when we know and then we take action and we go. Like, this is our time. I'm so excited about it. I'm excited for you because I think it will help change your life. I really do. That's my mission is to have people on and to share knowledge that I have gained from others as well to change all of our lives and help us pursue greater things and become the people that God intended. Okay. So I'm super stoked. I'm super excited. Y'all are awesome. Again, I would love your comments. Or if you want to DM me on Instagram or Facebook, I'm start with Kimberley Brock, start with Kimberley Brock, you can just DM me. So DM me or go to Kimberley Brock.com, go up to podcasts, and then scroll down a little bit. There's a form on the page. And just tell me what you think. I'm so excited, y'all. I'm just so excited. I don't even know what this means. I don't know what it means. My goal is to have an episode out next week. So that will be January what? January. So if that's eight, is it the 15th? January 15th is my goal to have episode one of season two out. But I'm going to be honest with you, no guarantees because I haven't even thought about what that will be or what I'm going to say or anything. So no guarantees because I'm starting this imperfectly, but it will come very soon. If it doesn't come on the 15th, but hopefully it will. I'm going to do my best. I just don't want that pressure because I feel like when I put too much pressure on myself, then I kind of freak out. I don't know if y'all feel like that when there's too much pressure. I want to kind of feel like I am in control and I'm going to feel inspired and what to share on that first episode of season two. And then we will go from there. And I'll start looking at guests. If you have guest ideas, share me any, share with me any guest ideas that you have. Someone that's an author, someone that's a speaker, someone that's an expert in something. They can share a story of overcoming or starting something new or bravely doing something, changing something. Again, about health, career, business, relationships, whatever it is. I would love to learn from that person. And I think all of you would love to learn from these types of guests as well, because we're all trying to be better, right? So y'all, season one has been amazing, amazing and awesome. And I'm totally stoked for season two. I feel so excited sharing this with you, and I can't wait to see what this takes us. So that's it. Y'all have a great day. Remember, we're all just getting started. Future is bright, my friends.
