Dr. Lashelle, welcome to the show. I am so happy to have you on.

Thank you for being here. Will you introduce yourself to the audience?

LaChelle: Oh my goodness, Alexa, it is so fun to be here with another boss mom, right? Like we're trying to make the world a better place for ourselves, for our kids, and I just love it. So yeah, I am Dr. Elle Wemi, and I have a formal education in anesthesia.

I have my doctorate in anesthesia practice and about. Seven [00:01:00] years ago, I had this entrepreneurial bug bite me, and I have been on a mission ever since to not only make myself the best version that I can be, but also helping other people discover what makes them just light up whatever they are, are put on this planet to do and to.

Feel like they have been proving to themselves everything they're capable of. And that's really my journey. After, after a few years of doing that, alongside of my full-time job and being mom and wife, I stepped away from my 20 year anesthesia career to be a full-time business owner and it's. Been a wild freaking ride, let me tell you.

Yeah. But it's been, it's been fun to help other people learn from, from my setbacks, from things that has taken me a little bit longer to learn myself so that I can help other moms create the life that they want to be able to do it faster, to make more money faster, to make more income impact faster.

Okay. And ultimately they create more time. Right? Because that's what we want. We wanna be able to do what we want, when we [00:02:00] want, right?

Alexia: Yeah, definitely. That's amazing. So tell me about your family and your business and when your business got started. How old your kids are. Gimme the rundown.

LaChelle: Yeah, so my goodness.

So I right now currently have a new driver. He's 15-year-old boy. Um, just. The love of my life. He's such a sweet kid. And then I have an 11-year-old daughter who is just, she's like a mini Amy. So it's been so much fun watching those two grow. And like I mentioned, it's been almost seven years. So I was working, what I considered at the time, Alexa, my full time career was my dream job.

I had wanted to become a nurse anesthetist and then a professor for our doctor of nurse anesthesia program. That was like. The pinnacle of what I wanted to do professionally. Yeah. And I got there and I'm like, yeah, something's still missing. Like what's, what's going on? And I started my first online business, and that is when I really felt like my world went from black and white to color.

Wow. And I can explain that now that I know differently. I realize [00:03:00] going back to my ambition as a professional woman. And this is my journey, right. But recognizing that I was chasing my own worth. Mm. Wow. It's like I did not feel good inside. I didn't feel like I was good enough. I felt like I always had something to prove.

And so I'd get another degree. At another degree and climb that ladder. And here I was the mom. Right. That was like tearing into the daycare center at like one minute to close hoping they weren't gonna charge me for it. Yeah. And I just realized that that's not. What I wanted, but I also knew that I'm a better mom when I have an outlet for my professionalism that I wanna be talented, fulfilled.

And when I started my first online business, I felt like it was the first glimpse into what I call the and life. Hmm, maybe that I can find a way to be challenged and fulfilled and make a difference in the world and be a more pre present mom and wife. Yes. And that is what really led me on this whole journey.

And it was in that journey that I [00:04:00] discovered the truth, right? The truth is, holy crap, I was really chasing my worth. The truth is, yeah, is that I'm already worthy. And it was the entrepreneurial journey that led me to that insight. It's like personal development with a paycheck, don't you think?

Alexia: Yeah, definitely.

That's huge.

LaChelle: Yeah. Yeah. And so I just feel like that's been, that's been the ride and recognizing that I get to be a better role model for my, for my daughter and for my son. And teach them what it's like to take risks and to teach them what it's like to go after your dreams and to work hard and to trust God and to, to make it happen.

And yeah, so that's, that's kind of how all that started.

Alexia: That is amazing. That is so cool. And I love that you talked about the, and life to do both, because I think that's so huge for us as moms to acknowledge that we can and we should have both. I think we're the best version of ourselves when we have both, and I think the narrative sometimes can feel like [00:05:00] it's selfish or wrong, but really when you look at it, like you said, it's like.

That self discovery that we find through our business and that outlet that we have is what gives us the ability to be the mom that we want to be for our kids, and to show them the life that they're dreaming of is possible as well. Yes. So I think that's so huge.

LaChelle: It's so huge. I mean, one of the exercises that I do with my clients is to ask them like, what did you wanna be when you grew, when you were little?

Right? And how many of us did not pursue that? But we want better for our daughters or our son. Yeah. Like whatever they want to be. As they're little, I'm like, I want to encourage that, but why is it okay for them and not for me? Yeah. You think about relationships, it's like, okay, my relationship that I have with myself or my spouse or whatever, it's like, do I wish that on my kids?

Alexia: If the

LaChelle: answer is no, then it is not good enough for you. It's not good enough for me because my best way to teach my kids is to model for them what a strong woman does, [00:06:00] what to model for them, what self-love is to model for them. How I can give out of an outpouring of who I am instead of a need. And a codependency to, to have to prove something to myself.

Right? Yeah. And I think that that's the best way for us to do that. I used to feel like you said guilty. I remember going on a walk, um, with my mother-in-law at the time. She's such a beautiful person. So this, this is not a reflection of anything other than that was just the generational, you know, um, space that she was in, as well as just her own value system.

And she's like, I'm really glad that I stayed home with the kids. And I used to think there was something wrong with me. I. That I didn't want to do that. Mm-hmm. And I feel like once I found the, and life, once I found the way that I get to choose both, it made me feel whole because I'm like, oh my gosh.

Like I wasn't missing out on anything. And definitely there were times right where I was out of balance, out of sync, and I figured out some ways to make that better.

Alexia: Yeah. But

LaChelle: for me, I know that I'm a better mom because I have an outlet. I know that I am a better [00:07:00] business owner because I have, you know, a why that drives me.

Mm-hmm. Right. My kids, my kids, and my husband. And so all of it fits perfectly well together, but I had to be able to accept that this is my journey and I get to choose what my journey is. So

Alexia: yeah, I love that. I think what you said too about like how we show up and the life that we want our kids to have has been such a driving force for me as well.

I think the, the boundaries that I've set in my life that, you know, maybe before weren't so strong, I wasn't as strong in those boundaries. I have felt like this. Need to be just really like stand up for myself because I'm thinking like, what am I showing my kids like right now? Obviously they're so little, they don't know.

But like I need to to work the muscle that is setting boundaries and expecting better for myself now. So by the time they're old enough to see what's going on, they can. Know that like, oh mom, you know, mom stood up for herself. She, you know, took, took the initiative [00:08:00] to do whatever it is, you know, whether it's, um, eliminating toxic relationships, whether it's starting a business, any of those things, like to show them what I'm willing to tolerate so that they can, to like set the same standards for themselves, because I think that's huge.

Yes.

LaChelle: Absolutely. And I think that, so oftentimes we think of business and our personal life is separate, but when I have my good business going, I'm better. Personally, I have good personal life. Yes. My business is better. Yes. Hundred percent. Yeah. They feed off of one another. And you know, one of the things that I have found this is, um, part of my, my process that I take people through.

I have seven core Cs, is what I call them. That are solid foundations for, for massive success. My whole, my whole program is all about massive forward momentum with ease and flow and mm-hmm. When we recognize the subconscious beliefs that are the drivers behind what we are doing, what we're not doing, it really does impact the way that we show up.

And when [00:09:00] it comes to being a mom, I think that it's. It's important that we understand that for ourselves, but also how it's impacting our kids. Yeah, because a lot of people don't realize that the subconscious beliefs that we hold, most of them were actually formed before we're seven years old.

Alexia: Wow. That is crazy.

LaChelle: I. Mm-hmm. And so, um, can, can I give you an example?

Alexia: Yes, please. And this is an

LaChelle: example, not to say, oh crap, like, I'm gonna ruin my kids. This is an example of, there's nothing wrong with you if this is something that you're dealing with. But once we know better, we can do better and we can get a slightly better situation for our kids.

So, um, I, I wrote about this in my book, and this would be an example, right? So my mom, she got married when she was 20. She had me when she was 21. By the time she was 25, she had three kids under the age of five, like I cannot imagine, right? Mm-hmm. And she lived, we lived out on a farm. My dad was a farmer and it was in the middle of nowhere.

And so, like, I can't imagine just how hard life was with her. Basically having to raise a. Three of us on our own with my dad working so much. Yeah. And I [00:10:00] want you to imagine that we had to go to the grocery store and it was a 30 minute drive one way. So she packs up, three kids under five, takes us 30 minutes to town.

Mm-hmm. You know, going through the grocery store with three little kids gotta be exhausting, right? Yeah. So imagine that. She gets up to the counter. Now this is the 1980s, so she's getting out her checkbook, right? Mm-hmm. And she is, she's gonna pay, and I'm sure that money was tight, so it was stressful enough, and I'm sure that it was hard to do all of the things that she needed to do with the three of us.

And. And knowing that she had to, you know, unload and reload and all the things, it was probably a really stressful situation. Yeah. So if you can imagine me as the oldest at five years old, at the counter saying, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom. Yeah. Because the candy is perfectly placed at my eye level. Yeah. Oh yeah.

Alexia: And I'm

LaChelle: sure that in, in her, like just natural exacerbation of the situation, she was like, no, like you do not deserve that. Yeah. Like, you have not been a good girl because I was probably restless and, you know, running around and doing all the things and so. When you're a kid, your [00:11:00] subconscious can only accept it cannot reject.

Mm. And so you are, you are told something and then it through emotion goes into your subconscious and it forms a belief. And a belief is wow. Basically what we think about the world and how we fit in it. Okay, so my little brain is. Developed enough to be able to accept that, but doesn't have enough brain power to have context around it.

So my little tiny five-year-old brain can't say, mom is just really overwhelmed.

Alexia: Yeah, my

LaChelle: sister was crying the whole time and she does want us to get outta here. That's not what my brain, you know, knew how to look at it. So my brain says, okay, I am not a good girl, so I need to start doing people pleasing, uh, activities in order to be a good girl.

My little brain says, I don't deserve that. Or I don't deserve nice things, and therefore now I'm an adult and I struggle charging for my services. Or I struggle accepting help, um, help from others. Or I have codependent, you know, [00:12:00] behaviors and people pleasing because I am trying to prove my worth. Does that make sense?

Alexia: Yeah. Yeah. That's, and you know, just so insightful.

LaChelle: Yeah. And so it's like when we know that we can start to accept like, okay, maybe there's nothing wrong with me and I'm just a normal person that had normal things happen to me. Um, but it also helps us to, to recognize like, gosh, how can I really empower my kids?

Yeah. How can I make them? Benefit from all the personal development that I've learned by becoming a business owner. Exactly. That I can make this learning curve a little less steep for that. Right.

Alexia: Definitely. Yeah. I love that you shared that story and I think that's so interesting because you know that you could tie it to that one experience and you could say, I can see where.

This happened and it resulted in me thinking like this. Like I think that's just so impactful. Yeah. As you know, someone who has struggled with a lot of the things that you spoke about, I have a [00:13:00] really hard time remembering a lot of my childhood, so talk me through what would be a good spot for me to start if I don't have a specific memory, but I wanna work through some of that.

What advice do you have?

LaChelle: Sure. Yeah, so I did take my client through a kind of a one-on-one session to help to explore these memories that are hidden, but I use things that are, that are different. Mm-hmm. I have a very unique secret sauce of quantum physics, brain science, and scripture. So I utilize my, my connection to higher power with the sustainable things that we can use with brain science and quantum physics.

And so one of the things that I would do is have you tap into a feeling that you're having, right? Mm-hmm. So maybe you are, maybe we're talking about, um, you know, you're afraid to charge people for your services. I get that a lot. People have money mindset blocks, right? Mm-hmm. But we're like, where the heck did this come from?

Or I had a client the other day, um, who we were talking and she's like, gosh, I [00:14:00] really have this. Block on receiving. She's like receiving help, receiving money. Like if there was a block with that. Yeah, but she's kind of the same thing. She's like, oh my gosh, I don't remember. I don't know where this came from.

Yeah. And so I had her just focus on where the feeling was and the feeling in her body because people don't realize it, but because our thoughts and her feelings or energy, if those thoughts and feelings aren't processed to adequately, they can become. Stuck as kind of watered up balls of energy inside of our body.

Wow. Interesting. Yeah. And so if I were to ask you to think about something that upset you, most people, if you were kind of giving yourself some, some space can say, yep, I feel it in my stomach, or I feel it in my chest, or I feel it in my throat, or my shoulders or the back of my head. So I have them focus on where they feel it.

Alexia: Mm-hmm.

LaChelle: And then I just ask them, I want you to think back at a time that you remember feeling that same way.

Alexia: Okay. Wow. Right. Yeah.

LaChelle: And, and that allows sometimes for [00:15:00] that memory to, to present itself. Sometimes people are still stuck, right? Mm-hmm. Like our body and our subconscious tries to protect ourselves.

And so this is where I bring in kind my spirituality. I'm like, this is where I ask our higher power to join us on this journey and safely reveal the things that we have to remember. And, you know, it was so fascinating because in this process. That I took her through, she was able to come up with this core memory of being a kid and a baby that was next to her fell off of a table or a couch or something, and she got blamed for it.

Oh my gosh. And she is, you know, like I didn't touch the baby, but everybody's like you, you know, how did you let this happen? Or whatever. Yeah. And so she picked up at that moment a belief. That she is responsible for everybody around her.

Alexia: Wow. That's amazing that you were able to help her find that. And our

LaChelle: literally like Yes.

And our beliefs are really just the lens in which you will see the world, which is so interesting. Like our [00:16:00] belief again is how we see the world and is how we fit in the world and our brain. This is brain science stuff. Our brain is not, you don't. Believe what you see mm-hmm. Is actually, you see what you believe.

Your brain will only look for things in the outside world that will prove itself. Right. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So over time, she had a belief that she was responsible for everybody else and then, um, in her outside world, things would present as evidence of that. Yeah. To where that was just an ingrained way that the world was.

Right. Yeah. And so, of course she had a hard time receiving because she had been so. In doctrine to think that she was responsible for everybody else, that she couldn't possibly have somebody else be responsible for her.

Alexia: Yeah. That's amazing that you're able to discover that. 'cause I think that is such a huge thing that I've dealt with too, is like, you know, I know I have these issues.

Right. Whatever they may be. Right. Struggling with certain things. But trying to figure out where they're coming from [00:17:00] can feel so hard. Mm-hmm. And so I love how you, you know, help people get there and guide them to feel comfortable to get to that space and take the time to uncover it and then to really like unload and unpack what that actual memory means for us and how it connects to what we're feeling now.

And um, yeah. I just think the work you're doing is really inspiring and just so good.

LaChelle: Yeah. Thanks. Yeah. Talk to me about.

Alexia: Oh, sorry, go ahead. No, I was just gonna

LaChelle: say like being a mom, I think it being a mom and doing this work, it's just like how can we make this next generation even healthier than, yeah.

Than the way we were anyway, so what were you gonna ask? Sorry. No, I think

Alexia: that's huge. I think that is such a big thing and I, I talk about that so much with like my husband as well is like, we are. Given a set of resources, unlike any other generation before I scroll on Instagram and what do I see?

Parenting tips, mom tips. Tips, how to be a better wife, how to be a better business owner, how to [00:18:00] talk to my kids better, how to potty train better. I mean, you name it, it's there right at my fingertips. I'm not even looking for it, and I'm seeing it where I think about our parents and they didn't know better.

I mean, they really just didn't have the same opportunities to have the conversations that we do. They didn't have the access to resources like we do. I mean, I'm sure there was. Parenting books, but I don't even, I, I listen to Audible in my car. I don't sit down and read a book very often, but I have all of those resources, you know, so available to me.

And so I think to fully, you know, utilize that to be better for our kids is just huge. And I think it's so, yeah, so special that we get to kind of learn on this journey together to be better for them and to be a tra we call it a transitional generation in our family.

LaChelle: Absolutely. And you know, one thing I'm gonna, can I piggyback off of that thought?

Yeah. Is that one of the things that I see a lot of my clients, like, especially high level clients, even that they've like built like seven figure businesses mm-hmm. Still struggle with making important decisions [00:19:00] sometimes. Mm-hmm. And what I have found is that there's a correlation between people having an inability to make a decision.

When they were little, they weren't allowed to make decisions. Or they were taught that they, you know, had to rely on somebody else to tell them what to do instead of having the empowerment to make small decisions. And so therefore, subconsciously they don't trust their own. Discernment and, and when you talk about all of the resources that we have available to us.

Yeah. Right. It's like, it's so easy to say, well, I'm just gonna read one more book. Mm-hmm. One more Instagram post. Mm-hmm. I'm gonna listen to one more podcast and then I'll know what to do instead of recognizing that you already have it within you.

Alexia: Yeah. Yeah. Like

LaChelle: I believe so much in my, in my theology that like my higher power, my higher self, I have access to anytime I want to, and I can trust that I already know the answers within me.

Yeah. And I think that when we have so many resources and when we're talked to in a way, when we're [00:20:00] little to. To question whether or not we have the ability to make decisions. Mm-hmm. It can really keep us stuck. Yeah. And a space of confusion and indecision and so it's like, yeah, we have all of these good resources and

Alexia: yeah.

LaChelle: We have the power to make this decision on our own even without them. Exactly.

Alexia: Right. Exactly. That's the thing. And I just love the, and

LaChelle: life, right? Yeah. And so having your kids make little decisions here and there's gonna help them to build those muscles and the confidence to say, I got this. Like, I don't need all that.

Like, it's just a, it's just a bonus. So

Alexia: definitely. Yeah. I love that you shared that. I think that's huge and definitely something to, to kind of. Juggle within this, you know, information decade that we live in, of just so much to consume. And then at some point to trust what we've consumed and do the best that we can.

Because I think that's, you know, the other part of it is we're all doing the best we can. And you know, I think if we have the intention of acting with love and with. [00:21:00] You know, the desire to show up, the best version of ourselves for our kids, for our spouses, for our businesses. You know, I think that just that intention is a huge piece of the puzzle that we don't give ourselves enough credit for.

As moms, I think, you know, it's one of those things that is so easily overlooked, all the little things. That we do, and you know, where our hearts at, even if we don't always get it right, that we're here, we're showing up, we're trying. I mean, if you're listening to this podcast, you're trying to be a better mom.

You're trying to be a better business owner, right? Like that's why we're all consuming what we consume and reading what we read and doing what we do. And I think that just, you know, it's so easy to look at. Our failures and flaws and say, okay, I'm struggling. But it's like if you flip that and say, I'm doing so much good, you know, there's so much good.

I think that that's a huge piece of it. So, um, absolutely. Yeah. I love everything that you're sharing with that. So talk to me about how you landed in this. Space. I mean, how did you go from anesthesiology? You said online business and now you're [00:22:00] here kicking butt and taking names, talking about all the things that happen in our mind.

So give me, give me the breakdown of how you landed here.

LaChelle: Oh my gosh. I think that part of it is just, I'm a nerd and so like I learned stuff and I'm like, but why does that work that way? Like, I wanna know like, is it just like a BS that they're feeding me or is there science behind it? And so, yeah, I think that that's really where it started.

You know, building that online business initially really did. Force me into some massive personal development like Alexa. I will tell you that again, my professional ambitions were subconsciously to prove my own worth, right? Mm-hmm. And here I was like in my first online business space and facing rejection on purpose on the daily.

Mm-hmm. Like holy crap, right? Yeah. Like that was, that was terrifying. And that's actually why my kids will. Automatically, like they already know they're gonna get some type of a sales job, eventually teaches us resiliency and rejection. Yeah. And communication and how to read. People like these are like life, [00:23:00] life lessons, right?

Yeah. But I think that it was just like when I, I was just learning and evolving and the more that I. Would learn the more I wanted to know more about it and the more people would ask me like, Lashelle, how is it that you're doing what you're doing? I mean, I, when I started that first online business, I was in the top 2% of the company's pay plan within nine, 10 months.

That's amazing. Wow. And people were like, that's, how are you doing that? When I went from like being a super, super introverted, awkward, like, I don't, I have 200 friends on Facebook. If I didn't know your mom, you didn't even know my business kind of thing, and having to like face that rejection over and over again.

And I, they saw such growth in me that I think they wanted to know like, what was I doing and how was I doing it? Yeah. And I also, with my academic, um, and professional career, I, I did a lot of research and so one of the, the giftings that I was able to come from that experience was doing quantitative and qualitative research.

I could see themes in things, and I was noticing that [00:24:00] success really did follow a pattern. Yeah. And that people that were successful were doing certain things. People that were. If we're struggling, we're missing certain things. Mm-hmm. We allowing certain things to win and I just became fascinated by that.

And now it's so funny because I have people in so many different industries. I have coaches and physical therapists and realtors and network marketers, and I mean anybody who wants to, to grow, especially in the online space. But the foundational things, the themes that I've noticed are, are consistent no matter what.

And I think that that's what's been so fun is that allowing. All of the pieces of my life Puzzle. Yeah. To come together to formulate where I'm supposed to be. Yeah. Like nothing is wasted. You guys, if you feel like you're not in the right space, like it will be a piece of your puzzle if you allow it to be.

And it's like, some people are like, gosh, Lashelle, you went to school for a long time and now you're, you know, [00:25:00] don't even, like, I do anesthesia once a month just because I like doing it. And yeah, I help out a small, um. Immigrant, you know, hospital because I love it, but it's like that's not where I'm going.

And it's like everything that we do can be perfectly put together precisely the way that it's supposed to. Yeah. And so that's what I want people to just understand is that none of your experiences are wasted. And what skills do you have? What experiences do you have? How can you help people who are one or two steps behind where you are?

Get to where you are.

Alexia: Yeah.

LaChelle: And I think that that's where a lot of people come in is like, oh my gosh, like, I don't know if I'm qualified, or I don't have the experience, or I don't have this degree, or I don't have all the fancy. Mm-hmm. And it's like you don't have to.

Alexia: Yeah.

LaChelle: You start with where you're at with what you have and help the person.

Two steps behind you.

Alexia: I wanna give you like an amen. I wanna like give you a, a church choir, like Amen. Hallelujah in there because I think that is just like so [00:26:00] perfect. A summary of what I like, preach to, like what I've been living by too. Because I feel like it's so easy to look back a few years and say, oh my gosh, where was I going?

Why was I doing that? You know, like it didn't make sense. And now once I. Here in this space. It's like, oh, I see where it all makes sense, right? Like I had to go through that. I had to learn that I had to start that business. I had to fail there to make it to where I am today. And it all makes sense now, but when you're in that season, it's like I.

What the heck am I doing? And it's so frustrating sometimes. Right? So I love that you shared that, because I think that is just like any entrepreneur, anyone with an entrepreneurial mindset, just needs to keep that in mind when they're in the trenches, because we all go through it. We all get to a place. I mean, if you're growing, you're gonna fail.

Like that's just how it goes. If you're moving forward, there's gonna be bumps in the road, but that means you're moving. You know, it means you're not just. Sitting stagnant. So [00:27:00] if you're in that season and you're listening, right, like keep going, you're going somewhere that matters and it's gonna all make sense at some point.

So I love that you shared that. That's amazing.

LaChelle: 100%. Like, you know, and that's the whole point. Alexa. Alexa, is that like my business, my, my big, my. Like signature programs called Spiral Up. Right. And I want to, it's basically success in motion. Like I want people to have massive forward momentum in their business.

That doesn't mean that we don't have moments of downward spiral. Yeah. All of us do. I don't care if you're making seven figures or if you haven't started your business yet. Yeah. There are things like comparison or you know, you get rejected or mm-hmm. You know, you have a little bit of confusion like mm-hmm.

It can cause you to start to downward spiral. What I want you guys to all understand is that that happens to all of us. Yeah.

Alexia: Yeah. But what

LaChelle: your goal is, is to catch yourself in the, in the downward spiral so that you can stop and then redirect yourself to spiral back up. Mm. And so. Yes, it's gonna sometimes feel like you're taking three steps forward, two steps [00:28:00] back.

But the point is, is that as long as you're continuing to make some forward momentum mm-hmm. You're gonna get to go where you need to go. Yeah. And it's by catching yourself, it's by acknowledging like, okay, yeah, I totally face this imposter syndrome before, but look at how much more I've learned from the last time, and I'm gonna be able to catch it and I'm gonna be able to redirect it even faster.

And then I'll be able to get back on my feet again. Right. Yeah. And so don't, we are so fricking hard on ourselves. Mm-hmm. And we compare ourselves to people. Mm-hmm. When really, if I want you guys to think about this, like you aren't going to remember when you're at step 15, what it was like to be at step two.

Alexia: Yep. The best

LaChelle: people to help the people at step two are the people at step three and four. Mm-hmm. 'cause it's fresh in your mind.

Alexia: Yeah. It's just

LaChelle: like, grab a sister by the arm and drag her along with you. Yes. And, and that don't, don't negate what you know, it's, you don't have to have all the fancy, you just help the people who are right behind you.

And, and it's gonna help with all [00:29:00] the, the forward momentum for sure.

Alexia: Yes. Oh my gosh. Michelle, that's amazing. You are so great. I have loved this conversation. You're so fun. I love your energy and I love all the work you're doing. I just think it's so impactful and so integral for entrepreneurs and moms to keep in mind when they're on their journey.

Um, no matter what, what part of their journey they're at, you know, what you're sharing is just so relevant. So for the listeners that want to connect with you and learn more about what you offer, where can they find you? Tell me about your services. I know you mentioned your program, but give us the full rundown.

LaChelle: Yeah. Oh my gosh, of course. So I can, to keep everything really simple, I'm branded as doctor, or, well, actually I branded as Lashelle Weenie, and so you can find [email protected] on lashelle, me, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn. I don't know, TikTok, like all the things, right? So just, just find my me by, by name.

Um, and yeah, so that's. Kind of the, the main thing, what I wanna do is give you guys all some hope, right? Like, I'm a hope dealer, that's what I wanna be. Mm-hmm. I wanna help you understand that you are freaking [00:30:00] more capable than you ever realized. And what I'm finding is that it doesn't matter what industry you're in, it doesn't matter if you have tried this strategy or that strategy.

It's really just working on those fundamental things inside of you that are gonna help any strategy work. Mm. And oftentimes what happens is we don't get results. And so we're like, okay, well I just need to get a new script, or I just need to get this new, you know, client relations manager, or I just need to get this new program.

And then we find the same thing keeping happening. Mm-hmm. And so what I wanna do is just to remind you guys that there are some very core things that are going to carry you and your modeling for your family over and over again. And that's really what I. Specialize in it's, I can teach you business strategy all day long, but it's who you are underneath that, that's executing it, that's going to determine whether you're successful or not.

And so if you are like kind of wondering like, gosh, do, do I have some of those blocks? Do I [00:31:00] have some of the things that are preventing me from, from getting where I wanna go? Go. I would love for you to to, to go to my website. So lashelle we me.com. I have a quiz on there that will help you to determine like where.

Some of the areas that you're self-sabotaging. Mm-hmm. And then what you can do to get yourself out of that hole and back spiraling up again. So I wanna make sure that you guys know that, that you have that resource for me. Um, I talk a lot about it inside of my book called Get Out of God's Way, get over yourself and Step into the Life and Business he has in store for you.

And I have a Spiral Up podcast that's also really fun just to keep people in massive forward momentum. So.

Alexia: So amazing. Oh my goodness. Well, thank you so much for being here. Thank you for being part of the community. I will link, um, the quiz in the show notes as well as all your links and your website. So, um, I'm sure our listeners would love to connect with you and I'm just so excited to have you as part of the community.
