Ep 93 The Checklist Life with Tracy Bianco
Episode Notes:
I know a lot of you ladies love checklists right? I’m all about a good checklist myself – the more checked the better right? But, I recently read a great book – The Checklist Life – Breaking Free from a Life of Obligations – and it made me stop to think about how much of my life has been planned from that mentality. Meaning, the idea that x-y-z needs to be accomplished in order to “do it right” – or – I have to do all of these things because … that’s what I’m “supposed” to do. But here is the thing – showing up, doing your life, the way you WANT to – IS doing it right, and today I want to talk more about that. Listen in as I discuss this book with the Tracy Bianco, Leadership Coach, and author of The Checklist Life.

EPISODE TRANSCRIPT
Hello hello hello – welcome back to the podcast everyone.
OK – I know a lot of you ladies love checklists right?
I’m all about a good checklist myself – the more checked the better right?
But I recently read a great book – The Checklist Life – Breaking Free from a Life of Obligations
and it made me stop to think about
How much of my life has been planned from that mentality
Like the idea that x-y-z needs to be accomplished in order to “do it right”
Or – I have to do all of these things because
that’s what Im supposed to do
But here is the thing you all
Showing up, doing your life, the way you WANT to
IS doing it right
And I want to talk more about that
Not what society thinks we need to do
So today
I am so excited to share with you a conversation I had last weekend with Tracy Bianco
I met Tracy in a Mastermind I’m currently in and
She helped me with my DISC assessment
– if you are not familiar it’s basically a
Behavior assessment
Really gives you and idea of where some of your strengths are
And areas of improvement
It’s great when you are working in teams
Tracy is a leadership coach and the author of the book – The Checklist Life
We talked about our experiences with this idea of having to plan everything
How our lives haven’t gone as we thought
And
how that can be amazing
She also shares some suggestions she uses with clients so
I encourage you to try them out
I really think more and more of us need to embrace
Doing life our way
And being totally down with it
So take a listen in
(Interview)
OK – what did you think?
Anything sound familiar?
I’m going to guess yes..lol..
Here is my biggest take-a-way
So many of us have this idea of what our lives “should” look like
And what we “should” do
And often times
Instead of embracing what is
We keep fighting for what is not
Or we keep running around thinking
If we don’t do all of these other things
We won’t matter as much
Not true
What if
You just took a pause
And asked yourself
What do you want?
That’s a tough question for a lot of you
Running around
Doing it all
But not truly knowing
How to do you
You know what I’m saying right?
So just wonder..
Wonder what it would be like
If you truly could do more of what you want
And not be so stressed and overwhelmed
It’s possible
That it could actually
be fun!
I promise
OK – I’ll have Tracy’s info in the notes
Check her out at tracybianco.com
And read that book – it’s a quick one
lol.. then check it off your list
Ok – that’s what I have for you today
Let’s circle back next week
But for now
Stay safe
And make it great day – take care!
