Summary

[00:00:00] Dr. Stacey Gonzales: Welcome to today's Build in Public podcast. I am Stacy Gonzalez, the hostess of this amazing podcast, and I'm doing something a little differently today because I'm trying to also cook dinner at the end of a very long day. And what I'm finding for myself is that when I create content like this podcast, I do a little Facebook Live. When I go for a walk with the dog in the morning, it feels great to be doing an activity that brings me grounding, that brings me joy. And so cooking dinner, or me and my husband didn't always bring me joy. Actually. It felt icky. I didn't like to cook dinner. I did not like to prepare meals. I felt like a task and a chore and really exhausting hard work, especially after a long day. And so part of my decision to leave education and become an entrepreneur was so that I could have multi aspects to my life and all of those aspects. Could work together in a harmonious way. And I feel like the work I'm doing now and the way I'm approaching the work is feeling like it's in better harmony as I build out my ideal day, my ideal morning. And so that's really to me what my growth path and my journey and. , this sole growth journey that I've been on, knowing that growth doesn't come in learning modules like we think in education, but they come when individuals make a commitment to each other, but more importantly to themselves. And I couldn't be more proud of who I am becoming. On my entrepreneur journey and finding ways to balance my life better that works for me, such as recording a podcast while cooking, starting to to make dinner. And so with that, today's podcast is gonna be short. In order to build in public the life that is of your dreams than that you love, um, you have to do it differently. And so I think my. building public journey is about me doing things differently and I'm appreciating the space to do that, to try things, to build my confidence and competence in public ways that feel open and safe, like this building public podcast. So if, if, if you are new, if you are just joining, welcome My name is Stacy Gonzalez and. I just appreciate you being on this journey with me as I am becoming this calm, confident creator who is doing some pretty amazing things and, and at the end of the day, am really thankful for a space to, to share those things and keep a record. Um, because at the end of the day, that is what we have, right? Um, so thank you for joining me on this journey and, um, I hope, I hope you will tune in as we continue to build together.
