#108 Athena Brownson: Rebuilding Life and Mindset After an 8-Year Lyme Disease Journey — Part Two

They want nothing more than for me to get my health back and they support me unconditionally through my treatments and they take amazing care of our clients. Honestly, my executive assistant, I like to call her my boss because Her skill set is so vast and incredible and the complete opposite of mine. I wouldn't be able to get any of this, anything done without her, honestly.

So understanding that we're not meant to do life alone. We're meant to do life in community. Whatever that may be, whether it's at work or outside of work, for me, my business has become my family. It is a very demanding business. Real estate is to perform at a high level. We work very hard.

But the most important thing that I've learned, and I had to learn and continue to learn the hard way through not having the physical ability to do everything, is understanding that we're not supposed to be able to do it all ourselves.

And when we can find like-minded individuals that have similar visions in terms of why they're doing business and what motivates them and really find the people, I like to call them like your tribe. Who are the people that have your back unconditionally, that care just as much as you do about the business or about your clients or whatever it may be as you do?

And it's taken me years and years to find those people. But now that I have, it's truly the only reason that I'm able to continue forward with having a really successful business. is because I have people around me that not only care about me and my health and making sure that I'm able to take care of myself.

If I'm not able to get out of bed one day, I know that these people have my back and that they're going to take just as good of care of our clients. They want to build relationships. They put heart into everything that they do. And I honestly don't know what I would do without my amazing team.

But it's taken years and years of coaching and therapy and mentors to help me understand that I can't do it all by myself and I need to. Delegation is actually giving someone the opportunity to be their best and to empower them. And I will continue to learn how to do it, but I believe in teamwork more than anything.

Yeah, and that's what I would love nothing more is to be able to give people hope in whatever challenge or adversity that you're going through. But I would first say it's okay to acknowledge when you're struggling. When you're going through hardship, there is somewhat of a toxic positivity that people can say, oh, just don't think about it. Like, you'll be fine.

No, it's acknowledge that you're going through a significant challenge. But don't allow yourself to get stuck there. And oftentimes I believe that we have a thought, a vision that we have to make all of these changes at one time.

That all of a sudden we're supposed to have a completely new mindset and we're supposed to be able to have the ability to rewire our brains and we're not supposed to hurt and Everything seems like it's supposed to all happen at once, but what I've learned is the key is to take baby steps.
