can deal with the anxiety and possible disappointment of being rejected. Nancy says to act as if she has already been accepted to her dream school, as this will make her feel calmer. Tune in to learn how you can cope with the anxiety of waiting to hear back from a spot you are competing for.
Our second caller, Samantha, is wondering how she can focus on her studies, rather than spending more time going out with friends or picking up extra shifts at work. Nancy advises her to remember how awful it felt the last time she procrastinated and use those past memories to become more organized and prepared. Listen in to hear how you can learn from your previous mistakes to improve the way you manage your schedule in the future.
Our inspirational guest, Abbey Curran, was born with cerebral palsy (CP), which affects the muscles in her legs and the way she walks. Despite her impairment, she worked to follow her passion of participating in pageants and became Miss Iowa USA 2008. She is the first person with a disability to compete in the prestigious Miss USA competition. When she entered her first pageant, she received a lot of negative feedback due to her handicap. Regardless of what anyone said, she continued to believe in herself and pursue the path she wanted. Tune in to hear more about Abbey’s experiences with living with CP throughout her childhood and during her pageant competitions and how she refused to let this health condition get in the way of accomplishing her dreams.
As Nancy closes the show, she relays that when faced with competition, you should learn to shut it out and let your passion guide you to success. Discover how you stand out and how you are different from those around you. Listen in to learn how you can view competition as a way to improve yourself rather than as a barrier.
Maybe you notice that based on everyone’s pictures on your social media feed, they are all having more fun than you or that you wish you could be them. Perhaps you feel that you need to act a certain way to fit in and get what you want, rather than be who you are. Put the competition aside and look at how you are unique and what strengths you have to contribute to others. Find where you thrive in your life and be your authentic self through living full out.
