While we were staying at an Airbnb in Newport last week, we went on an evening walk and overheard one family say, “we used to go to college, because that’s where the knowledge was”, and it just hit us like a ton of bricks. Today, we’re talking about going where the knowledge is depending on the industry that you’re looking to build a career in.

Sometimes it’s hard to see why things are happening for us, in the moment. When we moved to Arizona, it felt like we’d been pulled there. Now that we’re moving away, it’s easy to see the blessings of that journey, even though it didn’t work out. When you feel called to do something, even if it doesn’t make sense, do your best to explore it. The potential upside is so much greater than what you’d find in never trying.

We recently held our couples mastermind group and did some incredible things to push people (and ourselves) out of their comfort zones. But while those experiences were incredible, it was the conversation that came out of it that truly changed lives. One of those conversations led to the realization that, when your business is struggling, you have to stop looking for what you need and start looking for who you need.

Our life has been chaotic lately. So much has been changing that we’ve been afraid to talk about what we’ve been doing. We just sold our home – and we don’t even have a place to stay yet. We’re usually strong proponents of speaking things into life, so it was very odd that we wouldn’t want to talk about this before today. And maybe, just maybe, that’s why so many of our plans fell through in the first place. In this episode, we talk about manifesting, superstition, accountability, and more.

Have you ever made an unreasonable request? An ask that you were sure was going to get rejected the moment you put it out there? Sure you have, but there’s a limit to how many times we’re comfortable getting burned. After a while, most of us stop ourselves before the words reach our lips. We think we’ll get ridiculed, shut down, ignored. As a result, opportunities and ideas fall by the wayside.
As you’ll learn in this episode, you can get away with more than you ever thought was possible by being bold and going for the ask, regardless of expectation. Stephanie Burns built her business on what she calls bootscrapping – getting scrappy while bootstrapping, a term and technique that came as a result of making bold unreasonable requests. She teaches us to take that leap. You might be surprised at what can happen.

Things in life don’t always happen on the timeline we’ve envisioned. In fact, they rarely ever do. Sometimes the space between where we are and where we want to be can feel daunting. We may end up filling that space with despair, but if you can stick with your dreams, your goals, and your hopes, they will thrive. It’s in the moments where things are hardest and you feel like throwing in the towel that you will gain the clarity you need to move forward. That gap – that space between who you are and who you are meant to be – needs to be filled with faith.

It took me years to learn that doing everything alone was not a badge of honor, but a shortcut to burnout. We're not supposed to take on everything ourselves, and hoarding responsibilities not only dims your light, but stops others from living their purpose.

As an entrepreneur, you have to operate on full-time faith. As we continue to run into bump after bump along our journey, we keep moving forward in full faith that what we want, or something better, is going to happen. And that’s how it’s going to have to be as an entrepreneur or as someone with big, massive goals in their life. Things aren’t always going to happen the way you expect them to, but with enough tenacity, grit, and determination, you can make them happen if you just keep pushing and keeping the faith.

I’m so excited for the opportunity to interview Lia Valencia Key. She’s the incredible founder of Valencia Key Jewelry. Her brand just radiates sunshine and happiness. We talk all about her jewelry line and how she created this business and turned it into the massive success it is today.
Question Highlights:
Guest Bio:
“Never leave the house without wearing your sparkling earrings – they will serve as reminders of the light within.” Those are words Lia Valencia Key’s mother would always say to her. Lia lost her mother at an early age but those beautiful words never left Lia’s heart.
Raised in very humble beginnings in a super-impoverished neighborhood of Philadelphia, Lia Valencia Key lived in a homeless shelter with her mother, sister, and brother. Even in such dark times her mom told her, "Your predicament does not determine your destiny." She encouraged Lia to never leave the house without wearing her sparkling earrings because they would serve as reminders of the light within.
Lia went on to rise above her challenges by radiating light, obtaining a bachelor's degree in Business, master's degree in Education, a cosmetology instructor's license, becoming a global hair & makeup artist, receiving a United States patent, and then moving onward to create Valencia Key Jewelry: wearable joy that symbolizes that all things are possible. If you can believe it, you can achieve it! Each piece was created to inspire and unlock the bravery and light within.
Lia's Valencia Key Jewelry launched on QVC, one of the largest television shopping networks in the world. With the power of believing, Lia went from homelessness to inspiring through jewelry in over 100 million homes. And big dreams continue to come true. Valencia Key Jewelry was recently featured in Oprah Magazine’s 2020 Favorite Things issue, Jamie Kern Lima (founder of IT Cosmetics) brought Lia to appear on The Mel Robbins Show and speak on the stage with Brendon Burchard, Ed Mylett, Dean Graziosi, Tony Robbins, and Lia spoke to over 216k attendees at Jamie Kern Lima’s Becoming Unstoppable Believe It book launch.
Lia reaches back to where she comes from, donating and educating women in homeless shelters about the Keys to Light, and how to rise up out of rough environments. Lia is a living example that all things are possible by rooting yourself in the power of choosing joy and radiating light.

One thing that’s holding you back is an attachment to permanency. Believing that you’re supposed to find a great job and stay with that company forever, or you meet a partner and stay together forever, or you plant roots and stay in the same city forever. When you’re not attached to permanency, you’re allowed to dabble, to experiment, to try new things and see if they are right for you. And it’s only through that experimentation that you find what works best.
When you’re worried that you’re holding yourself back from making decisions because you feel attached to the permanency of your current situation, even if it’s making you unhappy, it’s time to start asking yourself some questions. First, “What’s the worst that could happen if I make a new decision?” Oftentimes, that worst case scenario is the exact same situation you’re in now, so don’t be afraid of making a new decision when the outcome might be the same as no decision at all – it could be so much better.
Many times we’re afraid of losing the good things about where we’re at now if we make a different decision. Maybe you’re afraid of losing your friends or your favorite restaurant. But what if you got really intentional, took inventory of what you loved, and made a focused effort to do those things (or similar) in a different situation? It’s possible to preserve the good while making even more room for new greatness.
So stop focusing so much on permanency. Life isn’t meant to be that way. If something isn’t serving you in the way that it could, try something new. Be intentional, focus on maintaining what you already have, and keep changing things to get even better.
