#72 –Carlyn Shaw - A Story of Perspective

Welcome to the #ShareYourHotness Podcast Episode 72! Meet my dear friend Carlyn Shaw. Carlyn was diagnosed with MS over two decades ago. She's had an abortion. She nearly died in a motorcycle accident. Do I have your attention yet? :) These events were the catalyst for a transformative time in her life. Listen to this one intently, my friends. This is one you will never forget. Carlyn's bio: When the idea of being who you dream to be no longer feels daunting, when your purpose calls you, when you're inspired to experience what you deserve, life shows up as possibilities: small world coincidences, friendship, love, abundance, ideas, and opportunities… all from self-love. Life is not to be protected; it’s to be experienced. Your destiny is not defined by what has robbed you, controlled you, or limited you. Your destiny is defined by the stepping stones you choose to create as a result of the circumstances you’ve been given. It’s not easy; it doesn’t feel good. They are called “growing pains” for a reason- you must be willing to let go of what happened to you and rebuild the precious life waiting for you. You came here to be you. I came here to be me. When we are true to what makes us authentic and unique, we connect with people who expand our possibilities, naturally and exponentially. I was trapped in a story that could have stolen my life. It was labeled MS. I was trapped in a story that could have stolen my faith. It was labeled grief. I was trapped in the story of anxiety. It was labeled the wrong job. I was trapped in people-pleasing. It was labeled an unhappy relationship. I was trapped in negative self-talk. It was labeled an eating disorder. I was trapped in addiction; it was labeled an eating disorder. I was trapped in depression… I was trapped in negative self-talk. I was trapped in fear. It was called playing small. I was trapped in feeling alone. It was called hiding my truth. It took time; it took courage. I rewrote these stories and healed myself. I let go of victimization and became the victorious version of myself I knew, deep down, in the pit of my core, was possible. The only thing I had to do was permit myself to pursue what felt impossible, trust the process, and allow the life I was meant to experience present itself with endless possibilities. Now it’s your turn; let’s free you. It's your turn to free yourself. If you allow me, I'll teach you how to retell your story, from a place of joy vs pain. I'll be your cheerleader, your guide, and your partner through a process of transformation, activation, and ascension into the highest version of your authentic self. I'll hold your hand and help you step on the path of possibility, calling you to your truth. Though we are meant to understand suffering, we are not meant to choose suffering. When you permit yourself to let fear and pain be your springboard, you'll discover silver linings to every cloud. Join me; life is meant to be fun! Let's play in possibility. https://onamission.bio/carlyn/ Leta Greene has been a professional speaker since 2010, speaking on confidence, resilience, and the Hotness Factor.
