Opening Introduction: Let's just go on and spill the tea. This is The Kim Gravel Show. This is one of the realest persons I've ever met in my darn life. You gotta watch this. My mission is to encourage every single woman, we're here to lift y'all up. There's no one more effective than moms. You mess with the bull. You going to get the horns. I need coffee.

Kim Gravel: Hey y'all, Kim Gravel here and this is the Kim Gravel Show. Every week we come together. To help you level up your life and me too. Like this is a, this is a group effort here. This is a family. This is a friendship group. This is our people, our tribe, and we all are wanting to level up our lives and we can, and we can do it together.

Now today is really a level up moment. Okay. I'm so excited for many reasons, Zac, you have been a big part of this with me on this journey as collecting confidence came out the book. Now we have the companion course, we have a confidence. And when we say course now, look, okay, this homework, there is inspiration, there is a celebration, and there is hopefully some takeaways, not only to increase your confidence, but help you find your calling and also help you think of yourself a little bit differently.

And for some of us, Zac, it's been a long time since we've really seen ourselves through the proper scope of confidence or calling. A lot of us are just living, and we're not living. You know what I mean? And so, yeah, there's a difference, right? There's a difference. So what this confidence course is, let's just break it down a little bit, Zac, so people can understand what Kim's got a confidence scores.

I do. We have recorded. Zac and I and our team have recorded a seven week course that is going to help you, hopefully, redirect your life on the road to your calling and doing and walking in that in confidence. And each week we're giving you a step by step insight And also like absolute, you know, practical activities to do to hope, hopefully steer you in that direction.

Even one week, Zac, we have an actual test to find out your calling, to drill down your talents and your gifts and your life into like a few words, which is to me is the coolest, one of the coolest weeks. I don't know if it's that week four or five. I can't remember.

Zac Miller: I forget, but I just like to say you can't fail the test. This is not a test you can fail.

Kim Gravel: This is not that kind of look, I grade on a curve. I mean, listen, I'm open book, I'm open book tested it. So, so when I say confidence course, it's this really great time that you get to have to be hopefully encouraged and inspired to live your best life. Now this week, Zac, We're doing something special on the pod.

Zac Miller: Yeah, we are. And, and this is, can I, can I just say like, this to me is so exciting because as someone who has now, I've basically taken the course. Like, I basically have like a PhD in Kimology here.

Kim Gravel: Oh, okay. Well, that's, bless your heart. Bless your heart.

Zac Miller: I will just say for like, speaking personally for a second, this course has really. honestly change the way I think about myself and the way I think about my own confidence. And I've read your book and I do the podcast with you every week and you know, and I know you and I talk to you and it's just so exciting to me to have this come out and to be able to share this with our audience.

So yeah. So what are we doing this week? Sorry.

Kim Gravel: Well, I'm glad you said that because this week we're giving you a sneak peek. Peak of the course, you're going to hear the whole far first module of the confidence course. So you get to kind of get a little sneak peek of what that is. And, and I want to, I want to say something to you before, you know, we get into that.

 I know you're going to get something out of this. I know you're going to level up your thinking about yourself. You're calling in your confidence because I know what I'm put on this earth to do. See, I'm fully confident in why I am here, and it is to do what we're getting ready to do when, after the commercial break, when Zac goes into Module 1.

So, the promise to you is, if you'll let it, and if you'll receive it, and if you'll do a little bit of effort and work, you will get something out of this that will, Change your point of view on your life and your call and your confidence. And I know that because I know what I'm called to do. And see, that's the beauty of knowing why you're here and knowing what you're called to do is that you're fully alive and fully confident and no one can take it from you.

Knowing your calling is, is the truest confidence you can have because It, you know why you're here and no one can take your why no one can steal that from you. No one can, can, they can try, they can try to down you in it. They can try to, you know, criticize, but when you know why you're here, nothing can stop you.

Nothing. Except yourself. So, and that's part of the, that's part of the confidence course too. So, think about taking this course as this beautiful thing you're going to do for yourself and for the rest of your life. And also for your kids, when you live completely wholly in your calling, in confidence, there's nothing better than you can do for your kids, for them to see you live that out.

I had my friend, Amy, she's so wise. She's not a parent, but she said, you know, parenting is more about who you are. And not what you say and do. I thought that was really, really huge because we always think human behavior, your nature versus nurture, you know, all of that. And, and what we say and don't do this and don't, and do this.

That really doesn't move people. It's who you are. That affects and makes people change. It's who you are that inspires people to be all that they can be. So we're going to figure that out in this course. Now I will tell you if you are interested after you hear module one, taking the complete seven week course with us, all you've got to do is go to kimgravel.com and click on Confidence Course and it'll walk you through step by step on how to continue. So get ready. I say this all the time, buckle up buttercup. Cause we are going to be, collecting our confidence through this confidence course and we're doing it right after the break.

So this very first week y'all, we are kicking it off with a powerhouse. We are talking about calling. Okay? A lot of people call that purpose. You know, what is your purpose in life? But I call it a calling for a reason because a lot of times people think they're calling is what they do. It's not. A calling is who you are.

It's why you are here. It's what you're put on earth to live out. And a calling doesn't just help you, it serves others. Now look, I go around probably to thousands of people a year. I'm talking all the time on live TV at QVC and all around the world. And I'll ask people this question. Okay. How many of you believe you have a purpose or a calling and inevitably every single hand goes up.

I mean, every hand goes up young. Oh, it doesn't matter where I'm at, who I'm speaking to. Everybody believes they have a purpose or a calling. All right. And I say, okay, everybody hands down. The next question I ask, I say, okay, how many of you know what your calling is? Crickets. I mean, not somebody don't even put a little pinky up.

I mean, they don't even they don't even try to put their hands up. I don't think I've ever had someone go. Yes, I do. I know exactly why I'm here. I know what my calling and purposes and I want to ask you, why is that? Why do you think that we do not know what our purpose and calling is? I'm gonna tell you Because people you and I, just like you and I think we are what we do when you're calling again is who you are.

We think, Oh, I am an accountant or I'm a teacher or I'm a nurse or I'm a doctor or I'm or I watch this one or I'm a mom. No. That's not who you are. That's what you do. Being an accountant, being a speaker, being a artist, being a, you know, a nurse. Those are the ways that your calling lives out in your life, but that's not what it is.

Let me tell you also what your calling is not. Your calling is not your circumstances or a season that you're in in your life. You know why? Because those things change. They ebb and they flow. They wax in their way. They're up and they're down. And your calling never changes because it's who you are and it's why you're here.

So this week we're going to dive in and talk about the differences between the two. Okay? Because there's a huge difference between what you do and who you are. Now you might ask me, Kim, how does knowing your calling relate to the confidence that you have? I'm going to tell y'all something. It's a game changer. When you figure out why you're here, And what you're put on this earth to do, which is to add value and be your one of a kind self in that calling, the confidence comes, it just, it just happens.

It just flows from you. It's easy. Let me give you an example. I talk all the time about my very best friend, Amy, you know, the hot red head. And we were roommates back when we were younger and we were both single. And. We would sit and have these deep conversations about what is our purpose? What is our calling?

Why are we here? And one night in particular, Celine Dion, I had a DVD of Celine Dion and, and a concert she was giving. And we were both sitting there and we were both talking and I was sitting there watching Celine Dion. I was like, Oh my gosh, can you imagine being Celine Dion and just being, you know, out front and, and Amy was sitting there and she was watching the same concert and little did I know that Amy was sitting here thinking.

Oh my God, wouldn't it be great just to be the background singer for Celine Dion? And then after that, we watched and we had that conversation and she told me that. And I thought, wow, you know, everybody is different. Everybody looks at things differently. Everybody comes at life differently. And then her and I started talking. I was like, Oh my gosh, you don't want to be Celine Dion. You want to be a background singer. Why? We started digging out the reasons why I was looking at Celine Dion wanting to be out front while she was wanting to be the background. And we started digging out this amazing revelation that night.

It was the night we truly figured out who we are. And why we move in the world the way we do, I mean, it's like we've always been operating that way, but it was just that aha moment that made us realize, dang, that's really what you are. Amy is that support person. She is that person to really back up what you've got going on.

And that night we were working through all of this and we ended up drilling down our calling to just a few words and Amy's is to bring order. I mean, she'll come over to my house and organize my spice rack just for fun. Okay? So hers is to bring order. We drilled down mine that night.

Mine is to build up, to build. By the end of this, seven weeks, you're going to be able to drill your calling down to a few words. So look, everything I do in my life, the decision's already been made for me. If it doesn't build up... Kim, don't do it. If it's a business and if it's not building up people, I don't do it.

If it's doing a TV show or doing something, you know, in, in that realm and that part of my career, if it doesn't build up, I don't do it. Every single decision I make in my life now comes from, is that my calling? So my do matches my why. So right now I want you to sit there and think to yourself, What is your calling?

Why are you here? You might not have that answer right now, and that's okay. That's okay. That's why you're here. That's why you're going to be a part of the confidence community. That's why we're going to grow and really stretch ourselves this seven, the seven weeks together. Because why you're here is directly related to the confidence you have.

Let me say that one more time. For those of you in the cheap seats, listen to me. Come in close. Why you're here is directly related to the confidence that you have. Think about it. If I have my why, and it's settled, and it's firm, and it's secure, it's my foundation. Everything from that foundation, if it does not set on it, and set firmly on it, I don't do it.

I don't. It makes it easier for me to say no. It makes it easier for me to say yes. I can recognize things that are for me and that aren't for me. And, and y'all, that's that to know why you're here is such a freedom. And it's such a empowering place to move from in your life. Now, look, this is a lot of information coming at you really fast.

I get it. That's why we had to do this over seven weeks. So I want you to really start thinking about yourself and your calling. It's a time for you to be a little bit selfish. So all you moms out there and all you people out there who work yourself to death, you gotta carve out that 20 or 30 minutes a week, y'all.

Because this is probably the most important work you'll ever do in your life. And the great thing about it is you're not too late. You don't need fixing. You're right on time. And you're not alone. You're really not alone. Now, the good thing about it is my calling is to build up. So this whole seven weeks, you're going to be built up to the mountaintop, Sonny.

You're going to be riding high. You're going to have amazing tools to, to move in what your calling is, and you're going to be confident in doing it. And I can guarantee you that, that I do know because I know my calling, so I know what I'm put on this earth to do. And it is to help you be the best you, you can be.

So this week, the work you're going to do, we're going to dig in. to how we're going to find that calling and how we're going to identify it. So there's three things. Your calling is personal. Okay? That means it's one of a kind. It's personal to you. It's just like your DNA, right? Your DNA. There's one of kind, nobody's DNA is alike.

That's, that's, that's the brilliance of. Our humanness is that there's no one else out there like us. I mean, even identical twins. My husband's a twin. They have completely different DNAs. Some similarities, yes, but one of a kind. Each of those men are one of a kind, and you are too. And your calling has its own DNA.

It's personal. There's no one that can bring to the world what you can. Now, we hear that all the time, and it's great when you see it on social media, and the cute little memes, and these little two minute motivational things. It's fantastic. I love all that, but you can't, there's not enough meat in that.

You can't bite into that and believe it with this worksheet in this week. I want you to dig into what it means to have a personal calling. Okay. Dig into what it means to have a personal calling. Number two, your calling is prolific. It's plentiful. It's a harvest and it's always producing fruit. You know, I come from a long line of farmers and preachers.

I know it's hard to tell, right? So my, my roots are in the dirt and in the church. And as, as farmers, they know that, you know, when the harvest comes. It's, it's, you know, if the crops have been good, if it's rained, if we've, if, if they've done the hard work, the harvest is plentiful and that's the kind of life I want you to lead.

I want this calling to be prolific in your life where it's, where your cup runneth over, where you get that harvest and not only does it feed you and inspire you, but also overflows to everyone else. And that's, and I don't know, some of you might either say, Kim, I'm exhausted. Me too. Hands up. Everybody hands up.

If you're sitting there like you're spent, you're empty, you're, you're, you're, you have nothing left to give in life, okay? But when you walk in your calling, it's an overwhelming, prolific, energized bunny . When you walk in your calling. The energy just seems to multiply, and not only does it do it for you, but it does it for others too.

So your calling is personal and it's prolific and here's the catch. Here's that number three. It never Expires. So what I mean by that is it never goes away. It's like that constant friend That's always with you like, you know that touch point where sometimes you feel out of control And, and, and you don't know what to do, but you can always go back to that.

I had a friend recently, she, she's making a career change and she called me just, just to, you know, just to, just to vent, just so I can build her up, just so I encourage her. Cause that's my calling. And she was talking to me and she was so confused. She didn't know what to do. And she, she take this for more money and she, you know, she was just didn't know what to do.

And I brought her back because she's an instructor. That's her calling. And I brought her back and asked her that question. Well, does this new job allow you to instruct and teach? And she said, no. And I said, so why are you thinking about taking this job? And she said, cause it's more money. I said, but there's more money.

Is that going to make you happy? Or is living in your calling going to make you happy? And so she turned the job down and luckily it all worked out. And, and that's what my question is to you. If what you are doing in your life is not fruitful. and plentiful and it's not personal to you, don't do it. But remember this, you've not missed it.

It doesn't matter when you come into the calling and start living that out. And a lot of you've already been living it out. You just hadn't recognized it, but that's what this course is going to do. So this worksheet, we're going to talk about how your calling is personal, how it's prolific and how it never expires.

And that is true confidence. All right, y'all, let's get to work.

Zac, I'm so excited about this course. Can I just tell you full disclosure? I was like, I don't want to do a course. Remember, remember that when I was like pushing? I did. I'm serious to the whole team. Like, Kim, you've got to, you've got to the book and we just got to make it come alive to people and blah, blah, blah.

I was like, I ain't trying to do all that.

Zac Miller: Kim, seriously, Kim was, you were in those, I was in those meetings with you and you were like, no. No, we're not going to do it and then wait, and then the best part was once we did it, what did you say?

Kim Gravel: I said, this is good, and I don't mean toot my own horn, but toot toot.

I mean, I'm telling you, and the thing is this, I enjoy doing it again cause I know what I'm called to do and it's really to edify and to build people up. And so it was feeding, it was filling my cup, okay, to, to say these things and, and, and honestly, I, I saw. The years of struggle and misery and mistakes and all of the hurdles in my life become things I cherished by building my confidence through my calling.

And so when you've experienced that kind of Zac freedom, that you are not only. Forgetting or leaving your messes and your misery in the past, but you're embracing it and using it for the future for others. Oh, baby, back up and see, that's what I want you to do. That's why you gotta, that's why you gotta take the course.

And look, I'm not a pusher. You know, I have, I have two brands I sell on QVC and I'm always sharing and I always tell people, I say, look, if you don't want it, don't buy it. It's that simple. Okay.
