025: Mic Drop

In today's episode of Made to Thrive, Kim Walsh Philips talks about standing yourself up for a date that you've made with YOU! How many of you have a flaky friend who misses their appointments, and lunch dates with you? After a few times, you stop making plans with said friend, because it's annoying and a hassle on your schedule. If you wouldn't put up with a friend doing that to you, why would you tolerate those same poor behaviors being done to yourself? Therefore, commit to yourself and you will be amazed by the results! 0:21 – Welcome! 0:25 – Are you a flaky friend? I heard this and it struck me cold!

What part 4:09 – I am this alter ego and her name is Sheila! Sheila would follow-up on payments, manage my calendar, and much more! I use Sheila's name when I am trying to flake out on my plans. I have this internal dialogue with Sheila and ask: "Will I flake out on Sheila, again?!" 5:25 – I hope this concept helps you, just as much as it has helped me!
