Well, you bet.
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:18.080
You bet.
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:30.719
And um wow this what a you know about a a a quick year has probably gone by uh since uh since we you know have been on on uh live here.
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.560
Um and um that's that's amazing to me.
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.280
It just life goes flies by.
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:42.080
Um so hey, uh just introducing uh Heather.
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.240
Heather Parody is a you know me.
00:02:44.560 --> 00:03:04.879
I first started following Heather on uh Instagram and uh just love uh the videos, the well done, thoughtful, created videos and and the insights she she uh um she gives and to certain topics.
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:12.800
And it's um so from there I just reached out and and uh she's been kind enough to to talk to me.
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:19.520
And um so um how hey Heather, how long have you been doing that, by the way?
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.479
Well, uh kind enough to talk to you.
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:23.680
It's an honor to talk to you.
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.319
I think you're doing some incredible work in the world, and it's a gift to be spend some time with you.
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:29.840
So thank you for your kind words.
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.439
Um how how long have I been creating content online?
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:37.680
An an embarrassing amount of time, a very long time.
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:39.360
Um goodness.
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.319
I think I started probably in my early 20s.
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:47.599
I'm almost 40, um, just with blogging and trying to build something.
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:57.439
I was a photographer at the time going through school, graduate school, to be a mental health therapist, and um kind of got wrapped into this whole online space.
00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.599
I was very curious about it, very interested.
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:07.759
I thought it was really cool that you know you could record yourself on a microphone and someone who's never met you before could hear your whole story.
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:09.120
And so it really captured me.
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.840
And I did it very poorly for a very long time.
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:18.480
And I would still argue am still doing it very poorly compared to in my mind and my spirit what I see.
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.319
Um, but I enjoy it.
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:21.519
I really, really enjoy it.
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.879
It's a lot of fun figuring out how to communicate better.
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:35.040
Well, it's uh no, you're very well, you know, and that's kind of my kind of my one of my my things that I uh um you know hang my hat on.
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:45.199
I I I tell my myself and I tell my my team and I tell my family, you know, anything worth doing well is worth worth doing poorly at first.
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.240
And so you know, it's just starting to do something.
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:56.800
I you know, I think that's one of when I talk to folks, even just posting on LinkedIn, you know, I that's one of their biggest everybody's like, oh, I gotta get it right.
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:58.480
I gotta, you know, I gotta do it right.
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.240
What would you say to that?
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:08.480
I think if folks understood how hard it actually is to get attention, they wouldn't worry about themselves so much.
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:13.759
You know, you know that's true.
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:14.720
You know that's true.
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:26.319
When you're when you're really, really trying to push something out there, it is insanely difficult to capture attention and build community community online.
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:35.360
And the reason is not because you suck, but because there's so much stuff pulling at our eyeballs and our attention and our focus.
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:39.120
Um, and I'm ashamed to say it, it's just the human condition at this point.
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:53.839
I've been deep down a rabbit hole with like attention, economy, and what's actually going on with tech and you know, the implications of that from like a human standpoint, it is wildly difficult to capture attention.
00:05:54.000 --> 00:06:06.240
You have to be either so good or hit it at a certain moment or be so freaking stubborn, which is where I'm betting my hat on, you know, is just being stubborn, that you wouldn't you wouldn't worry so much.
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:18.800
So folks who try to perfectly craft something or worry themselves to death about an edit, you can do that and you're not gonna get the eyeballs and the attention you think you're going to get.
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:20.480
And that's not to be discouraging.
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:28.560
I hope that's very liberating for people because you have the freedom and you have a the gift of being a beginner.
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:35.600
And I would still consider myself a beginner, even though I've been doing this for 10, 15 years of putting myself out there online.
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.800
I I have a 13-year-old, she's not grown.
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:45.360
So if I look at my creative work as a teenager, a preteen, you know, I'm still very young.
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:59.360
Um, and so all that to say, like people worry about it and then they put themselves out there and then they don't get attention and they think, oh, it's because I suck, I should be doing this, without realizing you can be really, really good.
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:05.439
And it just takes a time and uh a grind and consistency to actually be seen.
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.319
So you have more freedom to mess up than you think you do.
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:10.879
I I I I agree a hundred percent.
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:26.639
And and you know, and I and and I I just told a story or um hosted a newsletter, I think yesterday, and I talked about um walking into an innovation accelerator uh a couple weeks ago.
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:41.519
It was just kind of surreal in that from from person to person I would go to I I got this yeah that hey, I I see you on LinkedIn, or I follow you on LinkedIn.
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:47.759
And yeah, I was talking to Conway Regional, the hospital here, and somebody walks up and said, Hey, you're famous.
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:59.519
I'm like, and we so we had a big chuckle about that, and and and we got a picture made together, and she sent it to my my son, who she was a friend of my she is a friend of my son's, and Ansel Four.
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.040
And and and it but the whole night was kind of like that.
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:19.839
And I had to go after I you know, I I went down the elevator, and they actually had church Orion building downtown Little Rock, and they actually asked me it was high security that they I don't the guy that rode down the elevator even looked up at me and said, I I follow you on LinkedIn.
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:26.399
I'm like it was just and then he started asking me how to you know create content.
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.800
And I, you know, and I just had to go out and after I it was such a great conversation.
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:39.200
He was such a nice young man, and and uh went out and just sat in my my my car after that and went, Wow.
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:55.919
You know, it it and you know I don't do I don't really um don't do anything stupid stupendous, but here's one thing I do is I show up and uh you know and I'm and and I'm out there and it may just be the worst, you know, whatever.
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:04.399
And but you know, I sh I I just am like like as you say, I just try to I just stick to it the best I can.
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:05.679
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:07.679
You know I worked at Conway Regional, right?
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:09.279
They'll tell you that in my early twenties.
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:22.240
You know uh that kind of is in the back of my mind somewhere, but you hear people that yeah, and and um here's here's how one up yeah, I was born at Conway Regional.
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:24.159
That's cool.
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:53.440
So so um um so you know, I with with all the stuff that you do, and that's a that's great, um, you know, your with your background, you know, I mean you do some you do some really creative, well done, I mean I just love how you put things together, how you pull in video, how you I mean it's really next level kind of stuff.
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:57.200
And um how how did you get there?
00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:04.399
You know, how did you get to, you know, um because you're I mean it's just so well done together.
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.759
Um Thank you.
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:15.200
Um I'm gonna answer the answer this a little bit differently because it's not how did I get there?
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:20.480
It's me I'm always trying to figure out how do I get better.
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:26.799
And I think the answer to that question, um, this is quoting something love them or hate them.
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:38.879
Uh Jay Shetty said in in a podcast recently that one of his meditation teachers taught him that if you want to go three steps forward, you have to go three steps deeper first.
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:46.320
And I think about that a lot in the sense of having something to say.
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:58.159
You know, um it's really interesting the time that we're living in and thinking about being a creator or being a communicator.
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:03.519
And I know a lot of your audience isn't necessarily looking to like create content for content's sake.
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:15.440
Maybe there's a business they're starting, maybe there's a cause that they're interested in, you know, maybe they're just trying to build a personal brand so that they have job security from one thing to the next.
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:22.960
But it's thinking about how do you position yourself and have an angle, to have a point of view, to have something that you bring to the table.
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.559
And I don't want this to be intimidating by any means.
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:38.720
I want it to be empowering because it's this idea that you actually have something to contribute, that your point of view, that your experiences is something worth hearing and listening to.
00:11:38.879 --> 00:12:04.000
Because a lot of times creators, I work with a lot of them, you know, they'll have a business and they're wanting to create some kind of platform and in whatever industry that they have, and they look around them and they're like, oh, well, what is this influencer doing or what's trending right now, or what's popular, or what's gonna get me found, versus really digging in deep and saying, what do I have to say?
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:15.519
You know, and I'm a very spiritual person, as you know, and I believe that God has given us all a unique framework and experience.
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:19.519
And a lot of times we judge what that is, like we'll look at it.
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:33.519
And like for me, you know, I come from a very conservative, homeschooled, um, very sheltered, very highly, highly sheltered environment.
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.120
And it shaped my worldview so much.
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:58.159
And, you know, as a 40-year-old wife and mother and professional, a communicator, I still see traces of that little girl coming out of me all the time, of someone who felt isolated, someone who felt afraid, someone who felt less than, someone who felt not educated or you know, didn't have something to bring to table.
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:18.240
And instead of like looking at that and not dismissing it, it's actually a gift that I'm bringing to humanity because it's a point of view that I have of understanding belonging and understanding feeling othered and understanding, you know, the limitations around heavy doctrine and fundamentalism and stuff like that.
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.120
And so that's my experience as Heather Parity.
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.919
And so to answer your question, how did you get there?
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:47.440
I I'm not where, you know, we're never there, you know, we're always just trying to figure out what is my unique point of view, how can I lean into that and use my voice unashamedly, where I don't place value on Ansel's gift versus mine, but just trust that God gave me whatever tools are in my hand for a reason.
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:49.919
And how do I use those more faithfully?
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:52.399
You know, thank you.
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.720
And that that's that that's awesome.
00:13:54.799 --> 00:14:04.080
You know, one of the probably one of the best pieces pieces of advice I got early on was from uh a guy I work with, a guy named RC Clark.
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:10.960
Um uh he's uh actually out of Brazil, and and um I know if he follows you, by the way.
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:25.200
By the um, but RC told me, he said, and maybe I was really trying to straddle the fence and on things and and really kind of being real um blah.
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:32.960
You know, he said, look, he told me, he said, look, you need to be it's the craziest thing I've ever heard.
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.039
You need to be more polarizing.
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.840
I'm like, get out of here, what?
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:54.320
You know, and um, and it really rocked that really that thought really rocked me because I just had to sit back and go, okay, you know, I that really gave me a green light to kind of just be me, you know?
00:14:55.120 --> 00:15:07.759
And and and to be and everything, you know, all parts of me, you know, that that um and I talk a lot, and I've I've talked a lot, you know, throughout the years about you know failing.
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:09.600
I have failed miserably.
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:20.159
But I have also been very blessed, you know, and and I've I I just I I don't you know don't hold back on any of that.
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:28.639
And um and and and and and s especially in regards to the spiritual, you know, uh it mean it means a lot to me.
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:32.080
And um so that that's some that's some powerful stuff.
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:38.080
Exactly what you're saying is what different diff uh what's the word differentiate?
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:46.399
Yeah, easy for me to say um you from somebody else, you know, and so just pushing information out, you know.
00:15:46.720 --> 00:16:06.240
Yeah, yeah, and and and isn't it interesting, and not to get too conspiracy theory on you, but isn't it interesting that our entire culture and society and everything that's being pushed on us is to numb the senses, you know, and really being someone who can can sense and feel things deeply.
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:14.399
And I'm not talking about a personality trait, you know, like my husband, I would argue, is not the most sensitive person in the world.
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:30.240
He's military, he works, you know, in computers, he's very analytical, he's very OCD, but even some a personality like his can sense things and can feel things and can develop an intuition, develop that still small voice.
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:45.360
And so it's not a personality thing, but I think it's a God-given gift that each of us have to really be aware of not only what we're experiencing, but what our target audience, the people we're trying to speak to, are experiencing.
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:55.120
And everything from our food to technology to the news to everything is trying to dull us down to where we become less and less human.
00:16:55.279 --> 00:17:09.119
And I think the call for creators is not to have no tech issues or to have everything edited perfectly or have your branding on point, all this stuff that people are worried about, but to be tapped in, tuned in, and have something to say.
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:28.720
You can have the crappiest audio and video and look a hot mess and all that stuff, but you can deliver powered fire that reaches people's souls, and you'll go so much farther than somebody who has everything branded and scripted, they are not tapped into that still small voice inside of them.
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:30.799
Oh yeah.
00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:34.880
Uh I I I that's that's powerful.
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:37.200
That's just that's that's so powerful.
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:46.880
And I think you do that, and maybe that's why you know your what you the work you do has really touched me and touches so many.
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:56.160
And uh so hey, what's the you know, I really uh for folks that don't know, you're really just on Instagram, correct?
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:57.680
Correct.
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:03.119
I'm on Facebook a little bit, but I make everybody mad over there, so I try to stay on Instagram.
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:17.759
So well, uh but but hey, if you would like to follow Heather, right here, uh you here's her um her address that you can go and and follow her.
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:28.400
And um, hey, one of the cool things that you do that I've that I get every week, uh I think it's every week, um, is your newsletter.
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:32.160
And um how can folks sign up for your newsletter?
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:37.440
Yeah, it's over on my website, heatherparity.com, or you can go over to Substack and find Heather Parity.
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:38.480
It's pretty easy to find.
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.319
It's also linked up in my Instagram.
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:41.200
Yeah, yeah.
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:46.400
I saw that a while ago when I when I looked at your Instagram, it's right in right under name.
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:50.880
It's right in you can just click on it and sign up for your for your newsletter.
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:52.079
And your newsletter is great.
00:18:52.240 --> 00:19:02.240
Matter of fact, yeah, I've got it right here on the one that that really spurred this conversation uh on um content flow.
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:25.440
Um so um and as we're we're kind of landing the plane here, you know, what any other thoughts that that you'd want to share, you know, to help someone get started, um and um and and get them give them a little push to to go out and and and do something, create something.
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:28.960
You know what's interesting, I I'm in therapy.
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:32.559
Uh I God willing will be in therapy to the day I die.
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:44.079
I think it's a beautiful um beautiful gift that if you can and and you know have, it go for it.
00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:54.480
One of the things my therapist told me the other day, because we're working through, you know, a lot of stuff from my childhood and my past that I've never really dealt with before.
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:59.279
Um, but also it's like it's like holding two things in in your hand.
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:08.319
It's like you have your own personal healing journey and trying to become a better person and navigating your own insecurities and doubts and what your mom and your daddy said to you and all that.
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:12.880
And then you have like the leader side, the communicator, the gifts and all of that.
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:23.119
And sometimes it gets very confusing because you think, okay, well, in order for me to go here and to be what I know I'm called to be, I need to deal with all of this.
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:31.359
And it's this weird balance of like how much am I ready to share parallel to my own healing and my own development.
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:46.240
And one of the things that my therapist told me is that both can exist at the same time and not to be worried about navigating your own issues with still speaking out, because there's always something you can say and do that will help someone else.
00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:54.079
And maybe you're not ready to go to the depths and the level that you in your soul you know you want to get to because you're still navigating it.
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:57.039
It doesn't mean you don't have something valuable to add.
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:08.799
So a lot of times we discredit ourselves because we look around and we're like, you know what, I'm a single mom in an apartment and I'm struggling to make ends meet and I'm going through nursing school and I'm trying to figure it out.
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:13.519
But I've always had a heart for abused kids because I was abused and so forth.
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:22.000
But maybe one day when I have more money and better circumstances, I'll have more of a platform where I can help people.
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:36.000
And I'm someone saying no, no, no, no, no, no, because sometimes we're perfectly positioned in our inadequacy and our discomfort to relate to other people who won't ever be able to relate to the people who were super successful in killing it.
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:59.359
So it's like left figure out how to leverage what you see as weaknesses as a point of relatability and a point of connection for people because we don't always look at celebrities and people who had all the together, but we look at our peers and we look at people just a couple of steps ahead of us who just give a you know what and can care enough to reach back two steps behind us and just share our experience.
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:02.160
So when Wherever you're at, you have value to bring.
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.640
Wow, that's that's uh that's powerful.
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:27.119
Yeah, I and I think that being real and being transparent um with all those things that you talk about has you know has really you know you know has been has really blessed I guess how can I say this?
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:36.799
I I I feel like that somebody said something to me the other day and they said, you know, if anything, you you're authentic and you're transparent.
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:45.839
And I'm like I'm like, well, I I think maybe that was maybe the best compliment I I've I I've gotten.
00:22:46.079 --> 00:23:00.240
And so um, you know, I just think the more you can do that, the more people are attracted to who you who you are and and you know what you and listen to what you have to say.
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:01.200
Yes.
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:02.480
Yes.
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:07.039
So so listen, thank you so much for coming on here today.
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:24.559

It's an honor to be here.
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:15.680
I've really enjoyed talking to you last time and thank you for thinking of me again.
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:17.280
Well, you bet.
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:18.080
You bet.
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:30.719
And um wow this what a you know about a a a quick year has probably gone by uh since uh since we you know have been on on uh live here.
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.560
Um and um that's that's amazing to me.
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.280
It just life goes flies by.
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:42.080
Um so hey, uh just introducing uh Heather.
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.240
Heather Parody is a you know me.
00:02:44.560 --> 00:03:04.879
I first started following Heather on uh Instagram and uh just love uh the videos, the well done, thoughtful, created videos and and the insights she she uh um she gives and to certain topics.
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:12.800
And it's um so from there I just reached out and and uh she's been kind enough to to talk to me.
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:19.520
And um so um how hey Heather, how long have you been doing that, by the way?
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.479
Well, uh kind enough to talk to you.
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:23.680
It's an honor to talk to you.
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.319
I think you're doing some incredible work in the world, and it's a gift to be spend some time with you.
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:29.840
So thank you for your kind words.
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.439
Um how how long have I been creating content online?
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:37.680
An an embarrassing amount of time, a very long time.
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:39.360
Um goodness.
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.319
I think I started probably in my early 20s.
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:47.599
I'm almost 40, um, just with blogging and trying to build something.
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:57.439
I was a photographer at the time going through school, graduate school, to be a mental health therapist, and um kind of got wrapped into this whole online space.
00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.599
I was very curious about it, very interested.
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:07.759
I thought it was really cool that you know you could record yourself on a microphone and someone who's never met you before could hear your whole story.
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:09.120
And so it really captured me.
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.840
And I did it very poorly for a very long time.
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:18.480
And I would still argue am still doing it very poorly compared to in my mind and my spirit what I see.
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.319
Um, but I enjoy it.
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:21.519
I really, really enjoy it.
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.879
It's a lot of fun figuring out how to communicate better.
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:35.040
Well, it's uh no, you're very well, you know, and that's kind of my kind of my one of my my things that I uh um you know hang my hat on.
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:45.199
I I I tell my myself and I tell my my team and I tell my family, you know, anything worth doing well is worth worth doing poorly at first.
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.240
And so you know, it's just starting to do something.
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:56.800
I you know, I think that's one of when I talk to folks, even just posting on LinkedIn, you know, I that's one of their biggest everybody's like, oh, I gotta get it right.
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:58.480
I gotta, you know, I gotta do it right.
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.240
What would you say to that?
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:08.480
I think if folks understood how hard it actually is to get attention, they wouldn't worry about themselves so much.
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:13.759
You know, you know that's true.
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:14.720
You know that's true.
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:26.319
When you're when you're really, really trying to push something out there, it is insanely difficult to capture attention and build community community online.
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:35.360
And the reason is not because you suck, but because there's so much stuff pulling at our eyeballs and our attention and our focus.
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:39.120
Um, and I'm ashamed to say it, it's just the human condition at this point.
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:53.839
I've been deep down a rabbit hole with like attention, economy, and what's actually going on with tech and you know, the implications of that from like a human standpoint, it is wildly difficult to capture attention.
00:05:54.000 --> 00:06:06.240
You have to be either so good or hit it at a certain moment or be so freaking stubborn, which is where I'm betting my hat on, you know, is just being stubborn, that you wouldn't you wouldn't worry so much.
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:18.800
So folks who try to perfectly craft something or worry themselves to death about an edit, you can do that and you're not gonna get the eyeballs and the attention you think you're going to get.
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:20.480
And that's not to be discouraging.
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:28.560
I hope that's very liberating for people because you have the freedom and you have a the gift of being a beginner.
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:35.600
And I would still consider myself a beginner, even though I've been doing this for 10, 15 years of putting myself out there online.
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.800
I I have a 13-year-old, she's not grown.
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:45.360
So if I look at my creative work as a teenager, a preteen, you know, I'm still very young.
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:59.360
Um, and so all that to say, like people worry about it and then they put themselves out there and then they don't get attention and they think, oh, it's because I suck, I should be doing this, without realizing you can be really, really good.
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:05.439
And it just takes a time and uh a grind and consistency to actually be seen.
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.319
So you have more freedom to mess up than you think you do.
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:10.879
I I I I agree a hundred percent.
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:26.639
And and you know, and I and and I I just told a story or um hosted a newsletter, I think yesterday, and I talked about um walking into an innovation accelerator uh a couple weeks ago.
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:41.519
It was just kind of surreal in that from from person to person I would go to I I got this yeah that hey, I I see you on LinkedIn, or I follow you on LinkedIn.
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:47.759
And yeah, I was talking to Conway Regional, the hospital here, and somebody walks up and said, Hey, you're famous.
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:59.519
I'm like, and we so we had a big chuckle about that, and and and we got a picture made together, and she sent it to my my son, who she was a friend of my she is a friend of my son's, and Ansel Four.
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.040
And and and it but the whole night was kind of like that.
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:19.839
And I had to go after I you know, I I went down the elevator, and they actually had church Orion building downtown Little Rock, and they actually asked me it was high security that they I don't the guy that rode down the elevator even looked up at me and said, I I follow you on LinkedIn.
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:26.399
I'm like it was just and then he started asking me how to you know create content.
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.800
And I, you know, and I just had to go out and after I it was such a great conversation.
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:39.200
He was such a nice young man, and and uh went out and just sat in my my my car after that and went, Wow.
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:55.919
You know, it it and you know I don't do I don't really um don't do anything stupid stupendous, but here's one thing I do is I show up and uh you know and I'm and and I'm out there and it may just be the worst, you know, whatever.
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:04.399
And but you know, I sh I I just am like like as you say, I just try to I just stick to it the best I can.
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:05.679
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:07.679
You know I worked at Conway Regional, right?
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:09.279
They'll tell you that in my early twenties.
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:22.240
You know uh that kind of is in the back of my mind somewhere, but you hear people that yeah, and and um here's here's how one up yeah, I was born at Conway Regional.
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:24.159
That's cool.
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:53.440
So so um um so you know, I with with all the stuff that you do, and that's a that's great, um, you know, your with your background, you know, I mean you do some you do some really creative, well done, I mean I just love how you put things together, how you pull in video, how you I mean it's really next level kind of stuff.
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:57.200
And um how how did you get there?
00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:04.399
You know, how did you get to, you know, um because you're I mean it's just so well done together.
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.759
Um Thank you.
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:15.200
Um I'm gonna answer the answer this a little bit differently because it's not how did I get there?
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:20.480
It's me I'm always trying to figure out how do I get better.
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:26.799
And I think the answer to that question, um, this is quoting something love them or hate them.
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:38.879
Uh Jay Shetty said in in a podcast recently that one of his meditation teachers taught him that if you want to go three steps forward, you have to go three steps deeper first.
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:46.320
And I think about that a lot in the sense of having something to say.
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:58.159
You know, um it's really interesting the time that we're living in and thinking about being a creator or being a communicator.
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:03.519
And I know a lot of your audience isn't necessarily looking to like create content for content's sake.
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:15.440
Maybe there's a business they're starting, maybe there's a cause that they're interested in, you know, maybe they're just trying to build a personal brand so that they have job security from one thing to the next.
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:22.960
But it's thinking about how do you position yourself and have an angle, to have a point of view, to have something that you bring to the table.
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.559
And I don't want this to be intimidating by any means.
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:38.720
I want it to be empowering because it's this idea that you actually have something to contribute, that your point of view, that your experiences is something worth hearing and listening to.
00:11:38.879 --> 00:12:04.000
Because a lot of times creators, I work with a lot of them, you know, they'll have a business and they're wanting to create some kind of platform and in whatever industry that they have, and they look around them and they're like, oh, well, what is this influencer doing or what's trending right now, or what's popular, or what's gonna get me found, versus really digging in deep and saying, what do I have to say?
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:15.519
You know, and I'm a very spiritual person, as you know, and I believe that God has given us all a unique framework and experience.
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:19.519
And a lot of times we judge what that is, like we'll look at it.
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:33.519
And like for me, you know, I come from a very conservative, homeschooled, um, very sheltered, very highly, highly sheltered environment.
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.120
And it shaped my worldview so much.
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:58.159
And, you know, as a 40-year-old wife and mother and professional, a communicator, I still see traces of that little girl coming out of me all the time, of someone who felt isolated, someone who felt afraid, someone who felt less than, someone who felt not educated or you know, didn't have something to bring to table.
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:18.240
And instead of like looking at that and not dismissing it, it's actually a gift that I'm bringing to humanity because it's a point of view that I have of understanding belonging and understanding feeling othered and understanding, you know, the limitations around heavy doctrine and fundamentalism and stuff like that.
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.120
And so that's my experience as Heather Parity.
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.919
And so to answer your question, how did you get there?
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:47.440
I I'm not where, you know, we're never there, you know, we're always just trying to figure out what is my unique point of view, how can I lean into that and use my voice unashamedly, where I don't place value on Ansel's gift versus mine, but just trust that God gave me whatever tools are in my hand for a reason.
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:49.919
And how do I use those more faithfully?
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:52.399
You know, thank you.
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.720
And that that's that that's awesome.
00:13:54.799 --> 00:14:04.080
You know, one of the probably one of the best pieces pieces of advice I got early on was from uh a guy I work with, a guy named RC Clark.
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:10.960
Um uh he's uh actually out of Brazil, and and um I know if he follows you, by the way.
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:25.200
By the um, but RC told me, he said, and maybe I was really trying to straddle the fence and on things and and really kind of being real um blah.
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:32.960
You know, he said, look, he told me, he said, look, you need to be it's the craziest thing I've ever heard.
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.039
You need to be more polarizing.
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.840
I'm like, get out of here, what?
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:54.320
You know, and um, and it really rocked that really that thought really rocked me because I just had to sit back and go, okay, you know, I that really gave me a green light to kind of just be me, you know?
00:14:55.120 --> 00:15:07.759
And and and to be and everything, you know, all parts of me, you know, that that um and I talk a lot, and I've I've talked a lot, you know, throughout the years about you know failing.
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:09.600
I have failed miserably.
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:20.159
But I have also been very blessed, you know, and and I've I I just I I don't you know don't hold back on any of that.
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:28.639
And um and and and and and s especially in regards to the spiritual, you know, uh it mean it means a lot to me.
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:32.080
And um so that that's some that's some powerful stuff.
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:38.080
Exactly what you're saying is what different diff uh what's the word differentiate?
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:46.399
Yeah, easy for me to say um you from somebody else, you know, and so just pushing information out, you know.
00:15:46.720 --> 00:16:06.240
Yeah, yeah, and and and isn't it interesting, and not to get too conspiracy theory on you, but isn't it interesting that our entire culture and society and everything that's being pushed on us is to numb the senses, you know, and really being someone who can can sense and feel things deeply.
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:14.399
And I'm not talking about a personality trait, you know, like my husband, I would argue, is not the most sensitive person in the world.
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:30.240
He's military, he works, you know, in computers, he's very analytical, he's very OCD, but even some a personality like his can sense things and can feel things and can develop an intuition, develop that still small voice.
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:45.360
And so it's not a personality thing, but I think it's a God-given gift that each of us have to really be aware of not only what we're experiencing, but what our target audience, the people we're trying to speak to, are experiencing.
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:55.120
And everything from our food to technology to the news to everything is trying to dull us down to where we become less and less human.
00:16:55.279 --> 00:17:09.119
And I think the call for creators is not to have no tech issues or to have everything edited perfectly or have your branding on point, all this stuff that people are worried about, but to be tapped in, tuned in, and have something to say.
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:28.720
You can have the crappiest audio and video and look a hot mess and all that stuff, but you can deliver powered fire that reaches people's souls, and you'll go so much farther than somebody who has everything branded and scripted, they are not tapped into that still small voice inside of them.
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:30.799
Oh yeah.
00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:34.880
Uh I I I that's that's powerful.
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:37.200
That's just that's that's so powerful.
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:46.880
And I think you do that, and maybe that's why you know your what you the work you do has really touched me and touches so many.
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:56.160
And uh so hey, what's the you know, I really uh for folks that don't know, you're really just on Instagram, correct?
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:57.680
Correct.
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:03.119
I'm on Facebook a little bit, but I make everybody mad over there, so I try to stay on Instagram.
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:17.759
So well, uh but but hey, if you would like to follow Heather, right here, uh you here's her um her address that you can go and and follow her.
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:28.400
And um, hey, one of the cool things that you do that I've that I get every week, uh I think it's every week, um, is your newsletter.
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:32.160
And um how can folks sign up for your newsletter?
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:37.440
Yeah, it's over on my website, heatherparity.com, or you can go over to Substack and find Heather Parity.
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:38.480
It's pretty easy to find.
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.319
It's also linked up in my Instagram.
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:41.200
Yeah, yeah.
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:46.400
I saw that a while ago when I when I looked at your Instagram, it's right in right under name.
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:50.880
It's right in you can just click on it and sign up for your for your newsletter.
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:52.079
And your newsletter is great.
00:18:52.240 --> 00:19:02.240
Matter of fact, yeah, I've got it right here on the one that that really spurred this conversation uh on um content flow.
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:25.440
Um so um and as we're we're kind of landing the plane here, you know, what any other thoughts that that you'd want to share, you know, to help someone get started, um and um and and get them give them a little push to to go out and and and do something, create something.
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:28.960
You know what's interesting, I I'm in therapy.
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:32.559
Uh I God willing will be in therapy to the day I die.
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:44.079
I think it's a beautiful um beautiful gift that if you can and and you know have, it go for it.
00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:54.480
One of the things my therapist told me the other day, because we're working through, you know, a lot of stuff from my childhood and my past that I've never really dealt with before.
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:59.279
Um, but also it's like it's like holding two things in in your hand.
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:08.319
It's like you have your own personal healing journey and trying to become a better person and navigating your own insecurities and doubts and what your mom and your daddy said to you and all that.
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:12.880
And then you have like the leader side, the communicator, the gifts and all of that.
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:23.119
And sometimes it gets very confusing because you think, okay, well, in order for me to go here and to be what I know I'm called to be, I need to deal with all of this.
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:31.359
And it's this weird balance of like how much am I ready to share parallel to my own healing and my own development.
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:46.240
And one of the things that my therapist told me is that both can exist at the same time and not to be worried about navigating your own issues with still speaking out, because there's always something you can say and do that will help someone else.
00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:54.079
And maybe you're not ready to go to the depths and the level that you in your soul you know you want to get to because you're still navigating it.
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:57.039
It doesn't mean you don't have something valuable to add.
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:08.799
So a lot of times we discredit ourselves because we look around and we're like, you know what, I'm a single mom in an apartment and I'm struggling to make ends meet and I'm going through nursing school and I'm trying to figure it out.
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:13.519
But I've always had a heart for abused kids because I was abused and so forth.
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:22.000
But maybe one day when I have more money and better circumstances, I'll have more of a platform where I can help people.
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:36.000
And I'm someone saying no, no, no, no, no, no, because sometimes we're perfectly positioned in our inadequacy and our discomfort to relate to other people who won't ever be able to relate to the people who were super successful in killing it.
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:59.359
So it's like left figure out how to leverage what you see as weaknesses as a point of relatability and a point of connection for people because we don't always look at celebrities and people who had all the together, but we look at our peers and we look at people just a couple of steps ahead of us who just give a you know what and can care enough to reach back two steps behind us and just share our experience.
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:02.160
So when Wherever you're at, you have value to bring.
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.640
Wow, that's that's uh that's powerful.
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:27.119
Yeah, I and I think that being real and being transparent um with all those things that you talk about has you know has really you know you know has been has really blessed I guess how can I say this?
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:36.799
I I I feel like that somebody said something to me the other day and they said, you know, if anything, you you're authentic and you're transparent.
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:45.839
And I'm like I'm like, well, I I think maybe that was maybe the best compliment I I've I I've gotten.
00:22:46.079 --> 00:23:00.240
And so um, you know, I just think the more you can do that, the more people are attracted to who you who you are and and you know what you and listen to what you have to say.
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:01.200
Yes.
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:02.480
Yes.
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:07.039

00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:24.559
