Do You Have Permission To Be YOU?
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on November 7, 2011 - 6:25 pm
With the days getting shorter, the weather cooler (or downright chilly depending on where you live), and the holidays approaching, I’ve been slowing it down, tuning in, and LISTENING.
I’ve also been hearing from so many of the amazing individuals who attended Woohoo Weekend and they’re all saying the same thing…
“Thank you for giving me permission to be me.”
Honestly, this comment takes me by surprise. And it humbles me.
I didn’t know so many people in the world DID NOT feel like they had permission to be themselves without apology.
So as you head into your weekend, simply ask yourself…
Have I granted myself permission to fully, wholly, 200% be ME?
If the answer’s yes, congrats!
This is where our brand and life bullseyes lie – in our ability to own, celebrate, and share ourselves and our gifts freely and generously with the world around us.
When you feel free to share yourself – who you REALLY are, warts and all, rock bottom AND rock star — that’s when you create the opportunity to change the world as only YOU can!
And this is what I saw over and over at Woohoo Weekend. People being willing to reveal themselves for who they REALLY are.
Can I share 2 quick stories from Woohoo Weekend with you that perfectly illustrate the POWER of owning, celebrating, and sharing who you REALLY are?
My husband (aka The Hubs)is a total rock star in my book. He’s funny, smart, kind, philosophical, and geniune. However, he’s always decided WHO got to see the real him. From the day we met, I got to see those parts of him. But we’d be at a party and I’d look over and see him standing in a corner, arms folded, NOT sharing those amazing parts of himself. It used to frustrate and confuse me, AND he asked me to honor that this was his way of being in the world.
Well, something in The Hubs shifted recently. When he told me he wanted to attend Woohoo Weekend as a participant, I was floored. When he showed up on Saturday, shared authentically with the entire room for 2 days, and even led the room in a dance party conga line on Sunday, I was blown away. This was the REAL him on full display. No hiding, just genuine and generous sharing. Wow!
When I asked him later what caused him to want to share himself more fully, he said, “Baby, I’ve been watching you. I paid attention. You tell your clients that when they’re ready to broadcast BIGGER, they need to show up differently and share freely.”
Wow! I have known for years all the reasons my husband is perfect for me. In that moment, I realized one of the best ways I’m perfect for him. In being his wife, I have inspired him to step into living out loud as his true self, rock bottom to rock star.
Can I get a Woohoo!?
My second story is about a beautiful, intelligent, shy woman who came to Woohoo Weekend and sat in the back of the room on Saturday. In the afternoon, she shyly approached, introduced herself, and told me she was READY to own, celebrate, and share her Woohoo with the world.
On Sunday morning, she pulled me aside, told me she was deathly afraid of public speaking, but that she’d written a poem about Woohoo Weekend and wanted to share it with the room.
I invited her on stage where she read the most heartfelt, clever, brilliant poem about her experience at Woohoo Weekend.
Her voice didn’t shake. Her words resonated with everyone in the room. And when she was done, the entire audience gave her a standing ovation.
That woman is now a client of mine. I’m spending the day with her today, helping her discover her brand bullseye, turn her inspired mission into masterful messaging and a business plan, and create a plan for broadcasting bigger so she can share herself freely and generously and change the world as only she can.
Woohoo Weekend revealed a powerful truth to me: That I am here to show YOU the way to celebrating yourself, empowering you to fully celebrate and share your innate gifts with the world, and broadcast BIGGER so you can magnetize money, opportunities, relationships, and happiness to you.
Again, can I get a Woohoo!?
And again, I ask you…have you given yourself permission to be YOU?
What would change in your life if you fully owned, honored, and celebrated who you’re meant to be?
For the remainder of 2011, I’m committed to leading the way for all of us to do this. I hope you’ll join my mission and spread the word.

Can your rock bottom to rockstar journey change the world?
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on October 26, 2011 - 10:36 am
Seven years ago, I was homeless, jobless, brokenhearted, and in excruciating physical pain.
I’d left my corporate job. Gone cold turkey with Mr. Wrong. Moved out of my luxury condo. And was struggling with painful tendinitis in both of my arms, which made writing — my lifelong profession — practically impossible.
I had thought being chained to my cubicle, still sleeping with my ex who worked 3 cubicles away, and being the only single woman in a 10 mile radius of my luxury condo had been rock-bottom.
I was wrong.
Being homeless, jobless, brokenhearted, in excruciating physical pain, AND not knowing how I was going to survive was rock-bottom.
Honestly, that was one of the scariest times of my life.
It was also the most freeing and fabulous. And here’s why…
When life as you know it is no longer an option, you have a choice. You can:
1. Shrink in despair, become a victim, and fall into the permanent paralysis of inaction
OR
2. Make the conscious choice that today is rock-bottom and every day moving forward will get a little better
You don’t have to know how you’ll go from rock-bottom to rockstar. You just need to be WILLING to surrender to the unknown (as my good friend and healer Kirsten Korot says), and have the courage to do something different to get a different result.
The truth is, change isn’t easy. And typically no one makes change until NOT changing becomes more uncomfortable than leaping into the unknown.
For me, the journey from rock bottom to rock star was 1 step at a time, 1 day at a time.
After moving out of my condo in Torrance, I moved in with a friend in Silverlake, sleeping on a blow up mattress on his living room floor for a summer. (Moving from married-with-children suburbia to the artsy bohemiam predestrian-friendly neighborhood with plenty of like minded singles was a crucial part of my journey back to rock star status.)
Sick and tired of being in pain but not wanting to give up on my writing career, I invested in voice software, and began making a living as a freelance writer. I used this same software to write all 3 of my best selling books. (Learning to talk to my computer transformed me from a shy writer into a confident public speaker!)
Going cold turkey with my Big Breakup was hard, but in doing so, I cleared the way for my Summer of Man Magnetism, where I met the coolest, funniest, smartest men on a daily basis and eventually met The Hubs.
Again, hitting rock bottom hurt like hell. But the journey since then has been well worth it!
At Woohoo Weekend, many of the speakers shared their inspiring rock bottom to rock star journeys with the room (some for the first time!)
Rick Clemons, The Coming Out Coach, shared how he went from being married to a woman with 2 fantastic kids to stepping out of his shadows and into his truth of being a powerful gay man. His coming out journey moved the entire room to tears, and helped us all see where we might still be hiding in our closets. Click here to watch Rick on Woohoo TV and find out what gay men and powerful women have in common http://bit.ly/woohootv6
Healer Kirsten Korot shared her profound rock bottom to rock star story of overcoming a dire diagnosis and 50-50 chances of surviving by using the same healing techniques she uses on her clients. One woman later told Kirsten,”I’m so glad you survived.” Amen! Click here to hear Kirsten’s incredible story on Woohoo TV http://bit.ly/woohootv3
Stylist JuliAnn Stitick, The Heart of Empowered Style, shared how childhood abuse had made her a prisoner of perfection, and why telling her story not only healed herself but heals her clients. JuliAnn’s story helped others in the room forgive themselves for childhood pain. What a gift!
If Rick, Kirsten, and JuliAnn had NOT shared their rock bottom to rock star stories, they still would have rocked the house at Woohoo Weekend.
But they wouldn’t have changed the world as only they can.
They wouldn’t have touched people’s hearts, demonstrated that rock-bottom is just a temporary stop on the road to rock stardom, or inspired the audience to do one thing differently to get a different result…
After hearing their inspired stories, 1 Woohoo Weekender got over her fear of public speaking and shared a poem she’d written about Woohoo Weekend from the stage. She got a standing ovation!
Once reserved and intensely private, another Woohoo Weekender rocked the house by leading the Woohoo Wiggle dance train that got everyone out of their seats and into their bodies.
The stories go on and on! Since Woohoo Weekend, I’ve received countless e-mails from people who are ready to share their rock-bottom to rockstar stories and heal the world as only they can. Woohoo!
Which leads me to my question for you…
On the journey from rock-bottom rock star, where are you?
Are there parts of your story you’re apologizing for? If so, how can you stop apologizing and start celebrating your journey even more?
And how can sharing your personal journey heal the world as only you can?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The journey from rock-bottom to rockstar is not one way. Instead, there are many dips, twists, turns, and loops along the way. When we surrender to the unknown of what lies ahead and instead start celebrating and sharing our stories, that’s when we start changing the world.
Today, I invite you to start changing the world as only YOU can. Start sharing your story. Do something different. Step out of the shadows and into YOUR spotlight. You never know whose life you will change as a result. It may just be your own!
For more rock bottom to rockstar stories, be sure to tune in to Woohoo Radio today at 2 PM Pacific |5pm Eastern. My guests will be i-Thrive coach Tambre Leighn who will share how you can go from right to thrive in YOUR life (she did it after losing her husband to cancer) and Hillary Rubin, whose story of overcoming MS to live medication and symptom-free will blow your mind!

Facing Forty: 40 Greatest Hits (and A Few Misses) of a Life in Progress, Lived out Loud
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on October 10, 2011 - 11:21 am
I’d like to tell you that the Rubik’s Cube turns 40 this year. I’d like to tell you that Mr. and Ms. Pac-Man celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary this year. I’d like to tell you that Drew Barrymore, Free to Be You & Me, Star Wars and I were all born in the same year, all turning 40 in 2011.
But it’s just not true. Those toys, video game icons, and pop-culture references are from my youth, but the conscious years, not the zygote years.
Having said that, there ARE some cool things/people turning 40 this year, right along with me. John Lennon’s song Imagine. Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry. And my girl Mary J Blige hits the big 4-0 right alongside me this year.
In honor of facing 40 on Sunday, I decided to stroll down memory lane and celebrate 40 of my Greatest Hits (and a few Misses) of my life in progress, lived out loud…
1. At age 6, scoring a Barbie dream house (the one with the pink elevator) for Christmas, one of many fave memories from a childhood filled with Barbie
2. At age 7, watching the movie Grease in the theater with my mom, and as the end credits rolled, hearing her say, “In real life, he’d change for her.”
3. Following my globetrotting parents around the world, living on three continents (North America, Australia, Asia) before I was 10
4. Begging my parents for a ventriloquist doll named Lester for Christmas, unwrapping him with glee, and insisting on entertaining my parents friends (and bosses!) with a comedy set that always started with, “OK, Joke Time!”
5. At age 12, mistaking a moat for a puddle during a Sri Lankan downpour (stepping in, plummeting, and resurfacing to the shock and awe of onlookers)
6. At 15, falling in love with Rebel, a creative, fun loving, new waver who had a girlfriend, told me he loved me more, and set the scene for a decade of me chasing emotionally unavailable men who didn’t love me back
7. After high school graduation, getting schooled on how to drink beer (and getting drunk for the first time) with Bad Influence, my high school buddy (His tip: Always drink a root beer first so your burps taste good)
8. Binge drinking root beer (and then some) for four years straight at college
9. At 22, falling in love and moving in with Trouble, a.k.a. a 37-year-old bodybuilder with a checkered past
10. At 23, barely escaping Trouble with my life
11. At 29, landing my dream job where I got to write about Barbie all day long
12. After a safe and predictable three-year relationship with Mr. Vanilla, loudly and proudly proclaiming while watching the movie The Tao of Steve, “I want to meet someone who’ll ROCK my world!”
13. Enter Mr. Rocky Road, a.k.a. the first man to make me feel seen, heard, loved, and adored (when we weren’t embroiled in a codependent nightmare, that is!)
14. Watching all my friends get married, have babies, and settle down, desperately wishing Mr. Rocky Road could get his act together and morph into The One
15. Breaking up, making up, & breaking down for six months straight during my Big Breakup with Mr. Rocky Road
16. Running off to Greece following my Big Breakup: Sunbathing topless for the first time, hiking a 17 km gorge with a gorgeous Air Force officer, and coming home alive, hell bent on proving to my dad I wasn’t foolish, crazy, or wrong for going alone
17. After 4 1/2 years, breaking up the Barbie, quitting my job, & not having a plan
18. Launching my first website BreakupChronicles.com one week after leaving my job
19. Renting out my condo, putting my stuff in storage, and escaping to the Montana wilderness for a month to “figure things out”
20. Scoring my first piece of press, a front-page feature in my hometown newspaper (Miss: Hiding all day when the paper hit stands, afraid to own it and celebrate it)
21. Coming back to LA, sleeping on a blowup mattress on my best friend’s living room floor, and feeling happy for the first time in a long time
22. Falling in love with myself, my life, and becoming a man magnet
23. Meeting my future husband at a bar, thinking he was 20-years-old and gay, bonding over a shared love of David Sedaris and Pink Martini
24. Recognizing on date #2 that my future husband could be The One (he’d just finished telling me, “I’m too nice for the naughty girls and too naughty for the nice ones.” Disco!
25. Telling my future husband on that same second date that I never wanted to get married or have babies
26. Getting my first book deal
27. Becoming a best-selling author (Miss: Coming home from my book tour and realizing I was a broke best-selling author)
28. Getting the call from my publicist that the Today Show wanted me on to talk about my first book IF: I came to New York the following week and shot B roll of one woman getting a post-breakup makeover and another woman having a Movin’ On party. The catch: I had to set it all up (Not having been in New York since college and not knowing anyone in the city, I said yes, and within a week had everything I needed for 2 kick ass segments!)
29. Realizing I really can do anything I set my mind to (Priceless, Mastercard!)
30. After years of being an excessive Sex and the City fan, spending one hour chatting with Candace Bushnell about the REAL Mr. Big
31. Handing my future husband my grandmother’s wedding ring and saying, “Give it back when you’re ready.” (Miss: Getting mad that it took him another six months to propose!)
32. Three years ago, donning a red gown, walking down the aisle to Etta James’ “At Last”, & promising to love my husband forever (The EASIEST thing I’ll ever do)
33. Spending a month in Paris on our honeymoon, watching Obama get elected, and celebrating hope around the world
34. Inspiring my sister to believe in love for the first time in 10 years and find HER Mr. Right
35. Writing 4 more books while building a profitable consulting business I LOVE
36. Loving (and eventually losing) my first pet, my cat Maya
37. Crying when I found out that my beautiful, smart, 18-year-old sister-in-law was pregnant
38. Being my 19-year-old sister-in-law’s birth coach, eventually helping her through a C-section after 19 frustrating hours of labor, and being the first family member to hold my niece
39. Leaving the hospital, realizing for the first time that my niece wasn’t coming home with ME
40. Having made peace with my childhood, being compassionate for my 20 something wild child, and appreciating the wisdom and experience of my 30s, looking forward to my 40s with a mix of curiosity, possibility, and excitement
What about you? What are some of YOUR hits and misses from YOUR life in progress?

How to Meet Your Husband in 2011
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on January 3, 2011 - 12:00 pm
Be honest. Did your New Year’s resolutions for 2011 include some variation of “I want to meet my husband this year!”? Then keep reading. It’s time to set the scene so you can purposefully and powerfully manifest Mr. Right.
First, let’s clarify your REAL resolution. The truth is, I don’t think what you REALLY want is to be married. I believe what you ultimately want – what most single women want – is to find YOUR beautiful, blissful, unique happily ever after story. You want to fall madly in love with Mr. Right. And vice versa.
Why wouldn’t you want that?
Every person on the planet deserves to find healthy and happy love with their perfect partner. There’s just one problem. A lot of single women don’t have all the tools they need to get love right. You may not have all the tools you need to get love right.
I know I didn’t when I was single. Once upon a time, I repeatedly got love WRONG. I chose the wrong men. I didn’t know my own needs, let alone how to communicate my own needs to my partner. I let my emotional baggage rule my relationships. And as a result, my relationships suffered under the tremendous weight of my baggage.
I wasn’t the only one coming to the relationship with unhealthy habits, beliefs, and patterns. My partners weren’t exactly poster children for healthy and happy men. And why would they be? If like attracts like — and it does — I was always attracting my emotional equal. Ay-ay-ay!
You will, too. And that’s why it’s essential to get as healthy and happy with yourself and your own life before becoming somebody’s wife. Before settling down with someone, you’ll want to make peace with yourself, your issues, and any baggage you haven’t already healed. The truth is, nobody can fix you, save you, rescue you, or heal you. That is, no one but Y-O-U.
So if you’re stuck in a fantasy that Prince Charming is going to come along and save you from your so-so life, do yourself a huge favor and rescue yourself this year. How do you rescue yourself? Start by following these 4 basic steps:
Step #1: Identify What or Who is Holding You Back
Whether you think your ex was The One, if your dysfunctional family has you running away from getting close to others, or if your beliefs about love have somehow shut you down to the possibility of ever finding it again, keep reading. The first step in opening up to healthy and happy love in 2011 is to identify who and/or what is holding you back from manifesting Mr. Right.
The truth is, your past may be keeping you stuck in ALL areas of your life. To get un-stuck, now’s the time to name and claim your obstacles in order to deal and heal. This may be a step that requires professional help. Enlist the assistance of a therapist, coach, mentor, or friend to work with you through the breaking free process.
Step #2: Release Your Need to Be Right and Surrender to Being Happy
Are you so attached to your beliefs that love has to be difficult, unsatisfying, or impossible to experience that your need to be right is overpowering your desire to be happy? Here are some examples of what I mean:
Are you choosing to be right as in Yes, you ARE too old, too fat, too screwed up to ever find love…
Are you choosing to be right as in Yes, your ex was the best thing that ever happened to you and you’ll never meet anyone as amazing as he was ever again…
Are you choosing to be right as in Yes, your parents screwed you up so badly that there’s no way love can show up for you…
If so, then your need to be right about being single is far more powerful than your desire to change your single status. Starting today, what if you simply chose to be HAPPY? If all you have to do to meet your husband is CHOOSE to no longer believe that it’s hard, impossible, or out of reach for you to experience the kind of love you desire and deserve, how EASY is that? If all you have to do to meet your husband is CHOOSE to be happy as you are right now, instead of who you may one day become (that debt free, cellulite free, baggage-free ideal we long to become but may never actually attain), how FREEING is that? If all you have to do to meet your husband is surrender to the beautiful truth that love IS available for you, that it’s not too late, that you’re open to it showing up any day now, how FABULOUS is that?
Today, surrender your need to be right about why you’re still single and instead choose a happier and healthier love future, even if it hasn’t shown up yet.
Step #3: Celebrate Good Men
Now that you’ve identified who and what may have been holding you back from manifesting Mr. Right, and have surrendered to the fact that happiness is so much sexier than the need to be right, it’s time to take the next step in your journey towards meeting your husband. It’s time to start celebrating the good men already IN your life. The truth is, there are good men EVERYWHERE, both already in your life and just passing through on a daily basis. However, if you do not see them, acknowledge them, and celebrate them, you will forever sabotage your chances of meeting your husband. Start paying attention to the men who open doors for you, who help you fix your flat tire, who share their umbrella with you, who smile at you, etc. Celebrate these simple acts by good men and before you know it, you’ll start appreciating men more and more. And when the right one comes along, you’ll be ready to recognize and celebrate HIM!
Step #4: Become The Chooser
So many women spend years — decades even — letting other people choose what’s best for them. They let their parents tell them what to do. They let boyfriends and ex-husbands tell them what to do. They let their alpha female friends tell them what to do. They let their jobs and bosses tell them what to do. And they remain in the passenger seat of their lives.
So how do you become The Chooser in your life? First, you stop WAITING for opportunities to find YOU. Specifically, you stop sitting around, hoping some guy will notice you. You STOP attending singles events and lurking on online dating sites just hoping and praying someone will see you, fall madly in love with you, and rescue you from your humdrum life.
Instead, you get ballsy, put yourself out there, smile, make eye contact, and talk to men on a daily basis (at the grocery store, in the latte line, in the elevator at work, at the gym, in line for popcorn at the movies, while rollerblading on the beach, on the subway, at the bookstore, while volunteering for that cause near and dear to your heart, while enjoying live music at your favorite hot spot, at the chiropractor, at yoga class, etc.) See how many opportunities there are in every day life to make eye contact, smile, and strike up a conversation? Have fun with this!
Step 5: Understand the Difference Between Mr. Wrong, Mr. Next, and Mr. Right
As you start meeting men in 2011, pay attention to which category you put them in. Mr. Wrong is the guy you’ve dated and ultimately assessed that he does not measure up to your long term wants, needs, and desires. Mr. Next is a guy you’ve met and started to get to know. He shows a whole lot of promise, and yet you’re withholding your final decision until you find out more about him. He could be your husband, but for now he’s Mr. Next. And that’s a good thing! Mr. Right is that elusive, once or twice in a lifetime guy who comes along, meets your wants, needs, and requirements, shares similar goals and plans for the future, and is interested and available for commitment with you. AND, you are interested in him and available for commitment with him. Trust me, this guy is worth the wait. If you haven’t found him yet, you’re well on your way.
