Hey, Hey y'all, Elise Smith here and welcome to the socially awesome podcast where we empower mompreneurs to implement simple social media strategies into their businesses and elevate their online presence. I'm a mompreneur of three, an affiliate marketer, a network marketer, an influencer, a social media marketing.

Agency owner and your personal guru. I am here to give you tips, tricks, and tools that you need to build your social media business. Let's dive in. Hello everyone. Good morning. Happy Monday. I hope, I hope everyone had an amazing weekend. Uh, today, I have a special guest with me, Dr. Lachelle Ouimichi. Has a book coming out today.

It's it's out. It's out. I've I've already purchased mine So i'm so excited to have lachelle here Um, I met lachelle In Cabo in person, we may, we actually met before that in Tennessee, I forgot in Nashville. Um, Lachelle and I have done some collaborations together. We work together with our coaching programs, and I am just so inspired by you because you've got an amazing story about being in the medical field and wanting more.

And And you made it happen and I'm so excited because even in Cabo, you took your, you took your stuff. He said, I got to finish my book. I'm going to finish my book. And you did girl. So I'm going to let Lachelle go and just tell you what the book is about. She's got an amazing story. It's called get out of your own way.

Right? Yeah. So the book is called get out of God's way. And it's really about getting out of our own way, right? Like the way that we get in our own way, we self sabotage when we don't even realize it. And I am so just tired of watching people that have the most amazing potential. And I know that you see this too.

I mean, you've been a very successful coach and network marketer and, you know, affiliate marketer, and you see it all the time, right? Where people tell you their dreams. They tell you that they want this beautiful life. And. Then they get stuck in their heads. And I still remember at least when I was sitting across the table from one of my, um, business partners and in my network marketing business, when I was growing that, and she was telling me about this beautiful, beautiful dream of buying a home on the lake, and she was going to be able to leave her job that she hated.

And she was going to be able to retire her then fiance, um, because he didn't love his job and that was her big dream. And she went on social media. She shared with, you know, people in her. Um, market area in her network about her business. Her brother made a snarky comment. She never posted again and she let her dreams completely die.

And I just over the last seven years have watched people that I love so much get stuck in confusion, get stuck in overwhelm, get stuck in fear, get stuck in doubt. And. on and disorganization, like where they're not showing up consistently. And it just freaking breaks my heart, sis. So I decided that I was going to take everything that I've learned from helping people, but more importantly, like the crap that I've gone through myself, because let's just be real, like ask me how I know that in the way, right.

You're not kidding about that because, you know, we all think. You know, for a while I would sit back and I would say, um, well, I mean, I, and I have had a beautiful life so far and I'm, I'm blessed for that. And I do have, you know, I'm, I, I kind of joked that I'm not the person that went through childhood trauma.

Like my trauma started, started in adulthood with infertility. And then we had a very hard loss as a family. And like, I was like, my trauma developed in adulthood and I had to grow through that. And I love that you have put that into. Inspiring other people because I mean, your book says, you know, step into your beautiful purpose.

He has for your life and your business. So you're not only helping people get out of their own way in their life, but you're also a business owner. And that I see a lot as a coach and a business owner. Strategist. I see a lot. People are in their own way. Yeah. No, but a hundred percent. And the thing is, is that I wanted to focus on business because it was the business that changed my life.

It was starting my network marketing business that literally changed my life. And then you mentioned my healthcare career, right? So once upon a time, right. I went to school for what seemed like a hundred years to become a nurse. And I was living my dream life, right? I was. teaching, um, at the doctor nurse anesthesia program as a professor half time.

And then I was working with some of the best surgeons in the world the other half the time, you know, I also struggled with infertility. So gosh, what a blessing to have a boy and a girl and they're both healthy and, and, you know, all, all as well. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, like cue the dreamy, like unicorn music, right?

Yeah. But honestly there, there was something in me that knew that I was made for more. It's like, and I love for you guys to know or to tell us in the comments, like, have you ever felt this just like deep in your gut knowing that you're being called for better? And that is what I was, I was being called for, but I didn't even realize it at the time.

So this is the funny thing. Like when I started that business, I was literally just looking for a discount. I woke up one morning and I saw that I had bags under my eyes and I was like, well, heck, you know, I need something. This stuff works. All right, let me get the discount. And I leaned in and I started to let like the path unravel in front of me.

And I, each step of the way, I just leaned into that desire. And before you know what, I was making enough money to drop my time at the hospital by a day a week and started to recognize that at least like there's something that, that I didn't even know existed. It's called the end life, the end life. So it was like this, this amazing revelation that I didn't realize that I could.

Be challenged and fulfilled and have a life of impact and to be a present mom. Yes. Realize that I had been chasing this corporate ladder in order to honestly prove my worth. Right. Right. Status or what we do. I was missing the, my core value of, of being, you know, closer to my family. And so this, this entrepreneurial journey taught me that there is something called the and life.

And you mentioned something already that, you know, you've gone through hard things. I think all of us. All of us have gone through our own hard and one of the things that I talk about in the book is the power of it. This is my, my personal perspective here that I think that all of us uniquely are given one, Beautiful superpower.

Every single one of us has given the superpower of free will. And so every single moment, you guys, we get a chance to choose again. If I'm having a shitty life, I get to choose again. If I am having, you know, not happy with my body, I get to choose again. Like you inspire all of us by your workouts, right?

Like if I'm not happy with my. work life balance, I get to choose again. And I really want us to remember that none of us are victims, that we have had crappy things happen to us, but it's always our, within our power to choose to rise above it. And that's what this book is about. It's really just deciding that you're going to not be a victim to your life, that you are not going to look back on your life in your 80s and have regrets.

This is not you, um, burying your talents. And I want you guys all to, to lean into where you're being led. And so at least I, um, I organized this book in, in really three major content pillars. desire. And these are the three content pillars, the three things that I've recognized that successful people do that get them to where they want to be in life.

Number one is they recognize the desire. They feel like there's that calling on their heart, in their gut, in their soul, that they're led to something better. That might be a business. It might be better work life balance. It might be a better body or a better marriage. That's what I've recognized. But they recognize it.

Instead of pushing it down and ignoring it, pretending it's not there, they lean into it. They, they look at it with curiosity, and they're like, all, I wonder what this is about? And then they let that next desire that they have, lean into that and let them lean into the next, the next step of their dream life.

Right? The second pillar is the decision. This is where the successful people make the decision. They decide to freaking figure it out, right? I mean, I, when I started my business, I had 200 friends on social media. If I didn't know your mom, like you didn't need to know my business because there was no business being posted.

Like it was like the random shared inspirational quote. So, I mean, it's not even like I was vulnerable. And so I, I didn't have a network. I was, you know, awkward, shy, introvert. But I recognize the potential and I'm like, well, what the heck? Like, why not to see what I'm capable of? And I made the decision to figure it out.

I made the decision to meet the people I needed to meet, to learn the things I needed to learn. It's kind of this like declaration, this decree. It's like, come hell or high water, I'm figuring this out. And there's no turning back. It's not a wishy washy. I might try, I want, I hope, none of that crap. Right?

Like, you know, that when, when, when you make that decision, Come hell or high water. You're going to figure this out like you do, right? Yes. The language we speak to ourselves is because I have learned that a lot over the last six months is because I'm very, I would very much say, and I am a doer. I am a decider.

I am someone that will go or high water, but I, I still would tell myself, I hope I will. I'll try. And I think it was because I was. worried about letting myself down. Um, the more affirmative vocabulary I have used for myself. Um, even if I don't achieve that goal with the timeline I have set, I feel fulfilled because I know that I gave it 150%.

And I love that you're, you're saying that about and life because I mean, that is also a realization that I've had to learn and it has really made a difference to be able to say, you know, I get to, I using the, that vocabulary with myself, I get to, I get to be on the porch of my pajamas when my kids get off the bus, because I, I've created a beautiful business, you know, I get to, so I, I mean, you inspire me daily just watching you and your journey and then in Cabo and then hearing about all of your experiences.

You're so well spoken. You're so inspiring. Um, anyone that's watching drop book in the comments. I'll make sure that you get the link. We'll drop it in the comments and stuff. Um, I want her to have the super successful launch and you are having a party or something, right? Oh my gosh. Yeah. So, um, I'm just going to say real quick, because I don't want to let this out, you guys.

So the third pillar is do, and it's getting into action. It's doing what we're going to do. And, and at least it's such a great role model for that. And so I just want to make sure to mention that, but in the, the frame of reference around that, I'm going to ask you to do the next step, right? So here are a couple of options that you have.

My call to action to you is joining in the launch party tonight. I was telling Elise that I. feel like sometimes you guys, we take ourselves way too stinking seriously. And I really believe I talk a lot about quantum physics, brain science and scripture in what I teach. And in the quantum physics world, when the longer and the more readily we can keep ourselves in the higher vibration of love, joy, peace, freedom, the more likely we are to accomplish everything that we're set out to do.

The more likely we are to be in a safe place. State of, of heaven on earth here. And so I wanna just freaking have fun with you guys. Yeah. So tonight between five and 7:00 PM Central, I am going to be broadcasting all over social media, mostly Facebook and, and, and YouTube. And you guys are gonna get a chance to be along with me.

I'm gonna let you in on a secret 'cause Elise is off. Um, audience is my audience right now, but I am actually going to, my mom is bringing me my prom dress from junior year. I have various beautiful in air quotes, um, because they're really not gowns that I'm going to be changing into as we meet our goals throughout the night.

I have some celebrity pop ins are going to come in and, and wow you guys with some really great insight and some giveaways. We also are going to be, um, handing out prizes for people. You guys are going to get some backstage things. And honestly, we're just going to have fricking fun because life is too serious all the time.

So here we are Mayday. First part of the month and I think it's time to, to have fun again. Delisa is going to put the comments and the link to the book. You guys, I would love so much for you to, to get your hands on it. And I have a free Kindle version that's available through Thursday. Now listen up, you guys, a lot of you guys that are watching are growing.

online businesses. Now I learned this really cool thing. If you go into Kindle and you grab the free version, you can grab as many as you want to. So you can literally give these away to your team members. So you can have it be, you know, uh, an enrollment gift that you give them. And it's, you're going to get a code for each one of these free versions.

So you can keep them in your repertoire, give them out, get the actual, like in your hands, copy, give them out to people because. This is going to change the lives of the people who get in their own frickin way. It's going to help your downline or the people that you care about stop getting stuck in overthinking and get into action so that you can watch them live out their dreams because they've shared it with you first.

Let's see them do it. Oh, I love that. And I'm so glad that you mentioned that tip about the Kindle because that is a perfect opportunity for you to help your teams with development. Um, and, and even if you're not in network marketing, even if you are a coach, you'll have a client that needs development.

If you are, um, you know, you're a mom or a sister or anyone, um, because, uh, you know, Lashelle talks about getting out of your own way in life and in business. So it, it would inspire anyone even if you're not an entrepreneur. Um, but I will definitely drop the link in the comments. I'm gonna drop her.

Facebook page link in the comments as well so that you can get in on her, uh, launch party tonight. Prom dresses. I'm sitting here going, I'm going to be underdressed because I'm going to be at the football field. But you know, um, let's just have fun. Like I might, I just might have some old bridesmaid dresses too, and they might not fit the way they used to.

So it'll be funny. Like I've had quite a few of those in my closet too. I've been a bridesmaid many, many, many times. Well, I am so excited for you. Is there anything you want to leave them with?
