Welcome to another episode of Powerful Stories. I’m Tory Archbold, and today, I’m diving deep into how you can back yourself in business, no matter where you’re at. I’m sharing some powerful insights I’ve learned, especially from my recent time in LA, and how you can apply them to take your business and personal growth to new heights. Plus, I’ll introduce you to 3 frameworks that will help you cultivate self-belief and show up as your true, powerful self.

Key Takeaways:

1. Growth Mindset:

   • Your abilities are not fixed. Embrace every challenge as an opportunity to grow.
   • Shift your mindset to one of growth: failure is feedback and an essential part of your evolution.
   • Start by reframing setbacks and viewing them as stepping stones to greater success.

2. Visualization & Affirmations:

   • If you can see it in your mind, you can create it in reality. Visualize your success and use affirmations to support your belief in yourself.
   • The power of positive self-talk is incredible – I’ve seen it work wonders for myself and many others.
   • Practice daily: visualize where you want to go and affirm, "I am worthy of this success."

3. Self-Compassion:

   • As women in business, we often place unnecessary pressure on ourselves. But here’s the thing: you are allowed to make mistakes.
   • Be kind to yourself, especially when things don’t go as planned. We’re all human, and that’s part of the journey.
   • Remember, being compassionate with yourself gives you the strength to bounce back stronger.

In this episode, I share an incredible story from Simone Clow, a LinkedIn Top Voice and a powerhouse tech leader. Simone’s journey is a testament to the power of backing yourself. She’s gone from behind the scenes to speaking at global events like SXSW and using her voice to spark conversations about purposeful technology. Simone’s transformation is all about stepping out of your comfort zone and owning your power.

If you’re ready to take that next step in your business and elevate your global profile, don’t miss my Business Activation Retreat in LA from May 5-7. This is where the magic happens. We’ll dive deep into tech and personal branding and create powerful connections with journalists from top news networks and private equity leaders.

Hey, it’s Tory Archbold, and I’m so excited to be back with you on the Powerful Stories podcast. You’re probably wondering, “Why the silence?” Well, in today’s episode, I’m sharing why I’ve been quiet - and it’s not because I’ve been doing nothing, far from it. I’ve been doing a lot of deep thinking, realigning, and stepping back to focus on what truly matters. And I wanted to share it all with you.

I recorded this episode on my morning walk because I promised myself that I’d commit to walking between 10,000 and 20,000 steps a day - and this walk felt like the perfect moment to record and connect with you. I didn’t want to outsource this podcast episode to anyone else. I wanted to upload it myself. I felt that the energy of creating it myself, the rawness of it, was important. It’s a big part of why I stopped outsourcing the production and took control back. In the episode, I dive into why I made that choice and how it’s allowed me to refocus and re-energize.

You’ll hear why I paused the podcast and the importance of listening to your intuition when you need to step away from something, even when you’re doing great work. Sometimes, silence is needed to recalibrate—and that’s exactly what I did. And I’ll be honest, there was also a shift in my family dynamics that required my presence and attention.

But it wasn’t just about stepping away. It was about getting grounded. Right now, I’m juggling three countries—Australia, Saudi Arabia, and the U.S.—and it’s been a huge learning curve, particularly in balancing it all while staying healthy and focused. I’ve had to be intentional with how I spend my time, and as a result, I’ve had some major breakthroughs that I want to share with you.

I also talk about the PowerZone—my incredible community of women who’ve taken my Five-Point Story Framework and completely transformed their businesses and lives. It’s been mind-blowing to watch these women show up, own their stories, and make an impact. I’ll share a little bit about them, what they’ve accomplished, and how they’ve inspired me to keep going, even when it felt hard.

And let’s talk about money and value. After spending a significant amount on podcast production, I made the choice to invest that money differently. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’m all about aligning with the right people, the right energy, and saying “no” to what’s not working.

As I reflect on my own journey, I’ve learned to trust my intuition in a whole new way—and I share how this trust has shaped my decisions in business and in life. I want you to trust your own gut, too, whether it’s in how you run your business or how you engage with your community.

This episode is a personal, raw, and real look at where I’ve been and where I’m headed. It’s about aligning with your values, investing in the right people, and never being afraid to hit pause and recalibrate when you need to. So, here it is—no fluff, just me sharing my journey, recorded as I walked through my morning.

I’m so glad you’re back here with me.

Much love,
Tory xoxo
