Unknown Speaker  2:21  

Well, thank you so much, Scott, before I answer that question. Thank you so much for your time and inviting me on the show. So I wouldn’t miss it. Yeah, provide value to your audience. My favorite color. I’m gonna have to say Blue Blue is just I mean, it’s navy blue, navy blue. I love it. I love what you do your bootcamp where Chicago?

Unknown Speaker  2:45  

Great mistakes. Great legs. Yeah, to meet you probably a lot before you if I was there in 1990. And, yeah, 1000. So about 10 years later, 10 years difference, right? Love it. Love it. Love it. Let’s get a little bit in the origin stories. If you can tell us a little bit kind of about the story of where you were in becoming a medic, within a corpsman I guess within the United States Navy and kind of utilizing that leveling up and also kind of the loss of your husband as well. And then how you turn things around, and that around you, you press forward and have your coaching business, please.

Unknown Speaker  3:19  

Yeah, no, exactly. So like, I joined a week after graduating high school, like, you know, so I was 18. Yeah, pretty much jumped in. But the the weird thing, not the weird thing, but the serendipitous thing is I have like to share the story is, it was like six months or five months before I graduated high school. And I was invited to join this class. And this is in Arizona. And this class was called jobs for Arizona’s graduates and what it was was people different career, people would come in and talk about their career. And you could talk to them and see like, if you can do an internship and learn more about it. So a Navy recruiter comes into this class, of course, somebody teachers like, you know, Hey, you got it, you got to do this and stuff. And I was like, yeah, sure, I’ll, you know, my initial plan was to take months, you know, take some time off of high school or whatnot. And, and then so, so I took the ASVAB. And I was like, I was really passionate about medicine at the time, I loved ANP. And I was like, I want to be in the medical field. And the guys like, recruiters, like, I don’t know, we’ll see kind of just doing the recruiter dance and stuff. And for So anyway, yeah. So I signed up. But the thing about this class was it was geared towards like middle to low income kids, you know, people who lived in the ghetto, people who lived, you know, in low income, publish pleasures, I had a job. I was middle class, you know, I was like, I don’t fit in, in this class. So one day I asked the teacher, like, how did you pick me and this was a small class of like, 15 kids. And she’s like, you know, all I did was open up this book of high school seniors and I just randomly picked names and yours was one of the names that I picked and I was like, What blew my mind and so because That serendipitous moment and I came from a high school class of like, 250 people, okay, it wasn’t just like, a country town of like, 20 kids, you should I mean, right, right. So that changed my life. And so I joined the Navy and stayed in the military for seven years, I got to the rank of f5 dual warfare, qualified Surface Warfare, like, like, really, really good performance. And the reason why I got out was because I wanted to become a nurse, you

Unknown Speaker  5:26  

know that that was where my passion was. You were a corpsman in the hospital corpsman in the Navy. Yeah, okay. Gotcha. Okay. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  5:33  

Yeah. So I served seven years, as you know, so I got to the rank of five in five years, which is unheard of pretty much. That’s pretty Yeah. Especially for hospital corpsman.

Unknown Speaker  5:41  

That’s second class Petty Officer if you’re listening squat. Absolutely. Okay. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  5:46  

So for an f5 to get to, you know, in five years. Yeah. That’s really good. Absolutely. And so anyway, I tried to do the officer out. And while I was in the military, and I was like, I get it. I, I’m picking up these signs. It’s probably not for me, when I got out, got my bachelor’s of nursing through the University of Texas in San Antonio, and the Health Science Center, stayed in San Antonio for about five years. And that’s where I met my late husband. And so we met, we got married, moved to Colorado. And a year after we moved there, we had our baby girl, she was less than a year old. And then we got that diagnosis of cancer in 2013. He was 30 years old. And at the time, it was stage four colon cancer had already spread to his liver, in his colon, and we’re like, what do we what are we going to do? Right? Well, we’re going to do what we can, you know, we’ll just take one day at a time we’re going to fight this, we’re going to do this, right. That started a five year journey of radiation, chemo, a pusher, things like that, too. And all the while, like he’s not working. So I’m doing my 12 hour 13 hour shifts as an emergency room nurse taking care of our little one that’s just a toddler. You know, he’s watching her on his worst days, because we couldn’t afford childcare, right? Just like, Oh my gosh, I don’t want to do this, you know, I need to be home with my family that my family needs me. Right? And so one day, like, what can I do from home, and I’m googling work from home opportunities, all that other stuff, gets that rabbit hole. But I came across coaching, I saw this video and I was like, Huh, that’s really interesting, and learn more about it. And when I really understood what it was, I was like, This something inside came alive. And I wasn’t sure. I know that this is the next thing. Right? So um, so I invested in becoming a transformational spiritual coast coach at first, um, through Mary Morrissey, His Life Mastery Institute program, and absolutely loved it. The universal laws had a manifest thing. Sure. I geeked out over that. And when I came across Brendon Burchard, and his high Yeah, absolutely. His high performance habits book. It clicked, I noticed, yeah, this is me this, how do I become a high performer? How do I do this? Because I know I can do it, my friends in school and stuff. And so I became, after I lost my husband, I worked with a high performance coach, because I was like, What do I need to do? Like, what is this next phase look like? How do I use this coach to figure out what that looks like for me, and I wanted to do coaching, right? So worked with the coach got amazing results. And then I was like, I want to be a coach, how do I do this? Right? How do I make this impact for people and so I became a certified high performance coach. But the reason why I wanted to do that was because of the impact it made for me, from my military career and my nursing career and how it complemented everything that I learned, you know, from the military, I was like, the veteran community, like they need this, like, I want to, what can I do to like, I need to do this, you know, and it just resonated, and it just resonated so strongly with me. I’m like, this is I’m passionate about, you know, my brothers and sisters and arms and right, my late husband was Army National Guard. And I was like, I you know, this is so needed in this community is absolutely vital. So that’s what I’ve been doing for the past couple years. You know, I love seeing and doing coaching. It’s, it’s amazing. It’s, it’s awesome.

Unknown Speaker  9:28  

Yeah, you’re in, you’re touching so many lives with that God. So what, when you’re starting to work with that, let’s go back. What do you think then makes a great coach?

Unknown Speaker  9:40  

Yeah. I am humble. Like I I believe I’m a fantastic coach, but it’s not 100% me, like I had echoed earlier I’m spiritual. But I think most of being a good coach is being able to tap into that spiritual aspect to communicate to that other person telling them The things that they need to hear, and I might not have any clue where it’s coming from, but that person needs to hear. And I think, you know, listening and really, truly listening, not just like, Uh huh, uh huh, I get it, I get it.

Unknown Speaker  10:14  

It’s funny that you say that. I mean, like, you’re asking the powerful questions like every coach should, right? They get the blind spot out of them, if you will. But you know, you have to listen to right. Yeah, exactly. Right. So then, let’s follow up on the blind spot. What is your secret sauce then, for helping to drum maybe during that discovery period? Or maybe the first stages of the coaching to help them find their blind spots?

Unknown Speaker  10:44  

Yeah. Now, that’s a great question. Because I feel like each coach has their special uniqueness and things like that, too. And I would say that, you know, my secret sauce, right. But my, what my unique ability is when I am working with people and having these conversations is really, you know, not only do I listen, I’m so sorry. Not only do I listen, but I listen to their tone. And I listen to how they’re, how they’re explaining themselves. And I can pick up whether or not someone’s biessing. me. And, you know, and I can call them out on that. mannerisms, mannerisms, and I do it in a loving and supportive way. Sure. But there is this unique quality that I have that I’ve not been able to put my finger on, the people are able to just open up with me, there’s something about my voice, my face, my structure, how I am just like, I feel like I’ve known you forever today.

Unknown Speaker  11:42  

I do as well. And we’ve only spoke one other time, like two and a half months ago. And I feel Yeah, you have that about you. So with that being said, like when you’re starting the discovery period, like is there any good question that you wish that they would ask you, but never do?

Unknown Speaker  11:57  

Yeah. So sometimes when they, you know, most of the some of the questions that I get is like, why should I work with you? Right? You know, that’s always like, number one. And I’m like, that’s a great question. Why should you work with me? Why shouldn’t you work with me? And and, you know, asking them, like, why do you think it would be a great, you know, what, do you think you want to work with me? Okay, you know, but sometimes they asked me, you know, I don’t know if I’m ready for this, you know, how do you know that I’m ready for for this type of, for this type of change in my life. I’m like, that’s, you know, I wish sometimes they would ask me that, like, how do I really know?

Unknown Speaker  12:35  

You do? Yeah, it’s true. I mean, it’s, they’re drawn to some way or, you know, attracted to different forms of the universe, or God and whatnot. But you know, that it’s true, and you show up in people’s lives. And you’re like, wow, like, not all coaches is the right horse for the course. You’ll know that right. Oh, right up front. But if there is that connection, there’s nothing like it. So, Judy, you familiar with the movie Back to the Future? Okay. So let’s get into the DeLorean with Marty McFly. Let’s go. Let’s get back. Let’s go back to the 22 year old Judy. I don’t know if your last name skilling them. But let’s go back to 22 year old Judy, what kind of knowledge nuggets would you be dropping on her to maybe help her shorten their learning curve level up and blast through maybe just a little bit quicker?

Unknown Speaker  13:23  

Hmm. Okay. So 22 I was deployed? Because that was probably 2004. So that was right around the Iraqi, the world the you know, so I was deployed on three different naval ships during that time. So during that time, I think definitely, I probably would have told myself, you know, it’s a really loaded question. You gotta be wrong here. You know what, um, yeah, today we Yeah, that’s real. I think definitely, I would have told myself get out sooner. You know, I loved the military, you know, and even now that I’m thinking about, like, you could have stayed in longer, but I don’t think I would have made been able to make the impact that I’m making now. In the military, you know, and I probably would have told myself to get on this coaching journey much sooner than then I had, you know,

Unknown Speaker  14:24  

I appreciate that transparency. I love that duty. And so, yeah, what? How do you want your dash? Remember that little line in between your incarnation date, your expiration date, your lifetime death date, and your tombstone? How do you want Judy’s dash remember?

Unknown Speaker  14:38  

Oh, I love that question. I’m just gonna fully admit that these past few days I was in a mindset retreat with my business program that I’m a part of to help scale my business much quicker. Nice is like talking about what legacy What impact do you want to leave on the world? What is your thumbprint and I kept getting these images and these visions of You know, Stan is presenting and talking in front of, you know, hundreds and 1000s of people that are veteran organizations, and I’m well known and you know, people know who people know my name. Sure. And the impact that I want to make isn’t like, you know, mainstream, like Brendon Burchard, OR gate, Gary Vaynerchuk, or anything like that. But the fact that I have made this ripple effect from people who’ve worked with me and their lives are forever changed, is, you know, that dash I want it to say like, she changed my life beyond, you know, realization, she doesn’t know how much she really changed my life.

Unknown Speaker  15:43  

Wow. I love that. I love the passion in that. You know, I mean, it’s true. It’s like, I hear a little bit of you second guessing yourself on a few things. But not like, consciously doing it. Like you’re so like, so fired up, and you’re so limitless. But honey, be the Gary Vee, I’m gonna tell you right now be the double be, oh, that Brendon Burchard telling you have the looks, you carry yourself. Your voice needs a podcast, I’m sorry, I don’t mean to start coaching you right now that you need it? You know, I’m telling you, like you have you have the ability for what you went through to really level up and just crush things. So let me ask you some what then keeps you up at night?

Unknown Speaker  16:30  

You know, the thing that I think about is the impact that I’m making on my daughter. You know, that’s the thing that really keeps me up. Like, am I role modeling how she can be as a woman? Yeah. 10 from now, you know, am I role modeling? Because I do coaching calls. I mean, I you know, I’m doing this stuff, you know, I’m putting in the work, my daughter seeing that? She thinks, you know, okay, it’s alright for me to be on the computer. And I’m like, Ah, no. So like,

Unknown Speaker  17:01  

you know who you are? Yeah, exactly.

Unknown Speaker  17:04  

You know, but at the end of the day, it’s just like I want to provide and I want to be that example that like, Look, mommy’s a successful multi million dollar coach, and she’s making an impact. And she’s really giving back to people and, you know, creating this vision, so that I am that role model for her to be like, yes, you too can be an entrepreneur and you can make a difference. And it’s okay to be different.

Unknown Speaker  17:28  

be unique. Be yourself. Be authentic. I love that. Yeah. So what do you think people misunderstand about you the most, Judy?

Unknown Speaker  17:36  

Um, I think people misunderstand that high performance words to be honest with you, because because I did when I first I was like, what I don’t want to be on that level of reading multimillion dollar corporations and winning Olympic. Like, I don’t want to be that. But when I really understood what that meant, like, breaking it down to like, you and I level, you know, that or whatever. I was like, Oh, yeah, I could do that. Like, I could go high performer. And so I think that was definitely like the misconception that I was really misinformed on. Right? Because I just thought, No, I couldn’t. That’s not for me. Right. But I really truly understood that.

Unknown Speaker  18:14  

Right? It absolutely. I get that. I mean, I felt at first I was kind of almost an imposter syndrome. When I opened up for Brandon one time. I opened up for Gary Vaynerchuk one time and I’ve opened up even for Tony Robbins. I was like the ninth speaker on the list. So I get it. And I didn’t think that I wanted to either and I don’t I won’t ever be because I don’t want to be that spotlight person. But I’m by doing what I do. I get to change the lives and an inch by inch. It’s a cinch level. You know, and that’s exactly where you’re at. But I think that you are going to blow up I just really do. I mean you have you have it. So let’s take out the computer. Let’s take out the tablet, the cell phone. What are three things that Judy can’t live without?

Unknown Speaker  18:59  

My books? My books, my book. They’re like, very tax, they’re attracted to me. So my books for sure. And I am I’m imagining we’re excluding family because I would always say my daughter’s Absolutely. That’d be a given. That’s a given. That’s a given. So I’m not counting her even though she’s already on the list. So my books for sure. And my notebooks, you know, because I take dozens and dozens of notes on everything in anything. And I would definitely say I’m just trying to think nature,

Unknown Speaker  19:38  

nature Love it. Love it. Like I you we say chicken wings, you know, because I’m kind of like, I’m a snob, and I like my chicken wings on my day if you want to call it that.

Unknown Speaker  19:48  

No, I need to be in nature. Like I need to be around like lakes or forest or mountains like

Unknown Speaker  19:54  

I need that. I hear you. Sure. So what is your definition of a life well lived

Unknown Speaker  20:01  

Ah, when I wake up every morning, and I’m like, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, God, universe. Thank you. For this day. I’m awake and I’m breathing us and that gratitudes key right love. Yeah, within minutes within seconds of waking up. Yes, I can open my eyes today. Love it and yeah, and that’s beautiful.

Yes. And that’s just that’s what I live for.

Unknown Speaker  20:42  

That’s the collection of moments that you just have you know what I’m saying if night law if not, life becomes a blur I mean, gratitude is a huge important part of myself my clients and hopefully my listeners out there there as well.

Unknown Speaker  25:25  

Yeah, so one last nugget. Um, so what you had mentioned before Tom got time blocking and now profound that has made a my my results and the way I do my business, that’s what I would impart on anybody you know, because we are in a world of distractions and we’ll get distracted and busy and just even blocking aside 30 minutes 45 minutes of like, dedicated, focused time which is challenging Yeah, in today’s micro minute attention span, but that full game over like it’s simple things when you implement simple things done so agree with that. It’s time blocking this huge turn off everything. And like I have notebooks I actually use this thing called a rocket book where I can write in it and scan it and then it’s all in but I stay away from the electronics as I will wander I got that monkey mind every wants to muscle thank you for saying that in squad.

Unknown Speaker  26:18  

We just got a free masterclass with my shipmate, my beautiful Judy skilling, who believes that a coach needs to be humble, be spiritual, and also be able to tap into her client’s spiritual side. The aspect of that to help them communicate and really intensely and intently listen huge with her. And not only listen with their ears, Judy listens with all her senses, she looks for mannerisms, she looks for facial expressions, she looks that makes her a fantastic, highly sought after coach. And she wants you to pull if you’re if you’re younger, and you have time to make decisions, or even if you’re older, and you’re really transitioning, pull the trigger on what you’re passionate about. Judy said that she might have got out of the service a little bit earlier, and really attack the coaching side. But you know, she her lives that she lives in it’s it’s tragic, is parts of it. As Ben she’s really leveled up and helped people change our lives, especially those close to my heart, the veterans, you know, she will be remembered as someone that changed people’s lives to be on the realization. You know, it’s very important that the impact that she has on the world, it’s even more important than impact that she has on her daughter. She will remind herself and her daughter and everybody she comes in contact with to be unique, be authentic, and make an impact on everybody that you come across. And even if the impact is making them smile like judy is right now, then that’s what matters that matters. She wakes up grateful every day and she strives to stay in that energy of gratefulness all day, she wants you to time block and be dedicated to the time blocking. So the days just don’t turn into a blur. She wants you to make a collection of memories. So those days, don’t blur and be prepared to pay the success tax. And I love that I wrote that down that’s going on my board. And Judy, you level up your health. you level up your wealth. You’re humble. You’re hungry. You’re beautiful inside now.
