In our latest episode of the Own Your Awesome podcast, I had the pleasure of diving into the heart of my recent presentation at a Pecha Kucha event. The theme, “Embrace Duality,” resonated profoundly with me as I shared my journey of recognizing and embracing the dualities within myself. This understanding not only empowered me but also paved the way for more authentic living. In this blog post, I’ll expand on the ideas discussed, offering you insight and actionable steps to embrace your dualities.

Recognizing Duality in Our Lives

Let’s start by understanding what duality entails. Duality is essentially the existence of two opposing forces or aspects within us or within our experiences. Imagine it as light and dark, day and night, or even joy and sorrow. These dualities are not meant to conflict; instead, they exist to balance and complement each other. The path to empowerment begins by acknowledging these dualities and finding harmony between them.

In my speech, I broke down my life into significant phases, from childhood to adulthood, each marked by its unique set of dualities. These phases have shown me that embracing both sides of my experiences—and not rejecting any part—leads to a more fulfilled and empowered life.

Childhood and Early Years: Pageant Queen and Government Housing

My childhood is a prime example of duality. One moment, I was parading on stage in beauty pageants wearing frothy pink gowns with a crown perched on my head. Off-stage, I returned home to government housing, living with my 16-year-old mother who did her best to provide. This stark contrast could have been jarring, but what I remember most from both settings is an abundance of love. Rather than seeing these as opposing realities, I drew strength from both experiences. I was both a princess and a girl from the projects, and both identities formed the foundation of who I am today.

Teenage Years: The Athlete and the Cheerleader

High school brought another set of dualities. By day, I was the only girl in an all-boys baseball league, fiercely competitive on the field. By evening, I donned a cheerleader uniform, embracing my feminine side with spirited cheer routines. When people asked if I was “Posh Spice or Sporty Spice,” I proudly claimed to be both. This duality allowed me to appreciate the strength in my masculine energy alongside the grace in my feminine energy. Understanding this balance has served me well in my professional and personal life.

The Ambition Dilemma: Name in Lights vs. Family Life

As I transitioned into adulthood, the duality of career ambition and family life became more poignant. I harbored dreams of fame and fortune but also desired a loving home with a family. Initially, I saw these ambitions as mutually exclusive, labeling family life as a “Plan B.” However, a pivotal coaching session illuminated the possibility of having both. Today, I balance speaking engagements, authoring books, and podcasting with being a dedicated wife and mother. Embracing this duality enabled me to craft a life where I don’t have to choose one over the other.

Professional Journey: Climbing Corporate and Embracing Entrepreneurship

In my professional journey, I experienced the duality of corporate success and unexpected job layoffs. Climbing the corporate ladder brought prestige and financial security, but multiple layoffs within five years taught me that setbacks are often redirections. Embracing this perspective allowed me to transition into entrepreneurship, where I now impact more lives as a speaker, coach, and author. Each rejection became a lesson, each layoff an opportunity, transforming what seemed like defeats into the cornerstones of my success.

Faith Through Loss: Rejecting and Embracing Belief

The most challenging duality came with the loss of my brothers. The first loss led me to reject faith, numbing the pain through unhealthy habits. When I lost my second brother, I chose to lean into faith, seeking solace and guidance from a higher power. This shift from rejection to acceptance transformed my grieving process, allowing for healing and growth. It demonstrated that even in the darkest moments, there’s light—and sometimes, we become that light.

Embrace Your Dualities: A Path to Empowerment

Embracing our dualities isn’t about picking sides but understanding and harmonizing the different aspects of our identity. Conduct a life audit and recognize the dualities in your journey. What lessons have you drawn from them? How can you integrate both sides to create a more authentic and empowered life?

In closing, I encourage you to open your arms to the full spectrum of your experiences. Embrace the contradictions, celebrate the contrasts, and know that being authentically you involves owning all parts of your journey. This is the essence of living your most empowered and abundant life.

Thank you for joining me on this profound exploration of duality. Until next time, keep on owning your awesome!

Miranda [00:00:01]:
Hello. Hello. And welcome to another episode of the Own Your Awesome podcast. I’m your host, Miranda Von Frickin. Last night was another magical event locally in the capital region. I am so pumped to share with you not only what the event was and who were the speakers and what went down and what I learned, of course, but also my presentation. And if you’ve never heard of Pecha Kucha, it is a mouthful, but it’s essentially a presentation format where there’s 20 slides and each slide is 20 seconds, and you are talking on essentially any topic from what I know of. Last night’s theme was empower to rise.

Miranda [00:00:53]:
This event was brought on by the Young Professionals Network of the Capital Region Chamber of Commerce, YPM, and it was put together so well and I saw so many familiar faces and actually tons of new faces. The the best part was a lot of people had never experienced a Pachacucha before, and I am one of those people, so I was completely new to what this was all about. I have heard about it before. If you’ve heard about it, I’m super curious if you’ve attended 1 and what your or if you’ve even spoken at 1 and what your experience was. I often have a hard time condensing what I say. Hence, me being, you know, someone who just, like, utilizes my podcast, essentially, as a journal and speaks on LinkedIn and Instagram in live formats, so there’s no real time constraint. But this one was quite the challenge. I’ve done something similar when I did disrupt HR a few years ago where there is, you know, a certain amount of slides, a certain amount of time, but I don’t think it was as quick as this was.

Miranda [00:02:00]:
So it was it was quite the challenge for me to come up with a topic. I mean, obviously, empower to rise. That’s my jam. So it had to be focused on ourselves, so that’s an easy one. I talk about me all the time. But how I either empower myself or empower others. I can incorporate a mentor, and I decide to talk about the duality that we have within us. My presentation was called embracing duality, your pathway to authentic empowerment.

Miranda [00:02:30]:
And I really dove into the story, about different segments throughout my life. Right? 0 to 10 and then teenage years and my twenties and thirties and professional you know, me being a professional and what I do now and the loss of my brothers, and how I embraced or rejected my faith based on, you know, the experience I was having at the time. And it was the duality of each of those experiences, but embracing them. The whole theme for me was how I embrace duality within my own existence, within my own experience in order to create a path where I don’t have to choose who I am. I get to just be. And that was my call to action last night was for others to start to recognize the duality within themselves and then embrace it. Because once you do that, it takes away so much pressure to, like, be the best whatever or be this version of you or my, like, the thing I hate hearing the most, stay in your lane. Like, I don’t have a lane, girl.

Miranda [00:03:37]:
I’m a do all the lanes. I’m a swerve here. I’m a swerve there. Watch out. I’m a use my directional, but I’m gonna be all over the place depending on my energy for the day. God did not put me here to stay in one lane, which, you know, could be a problem sometimes. But it’s it’s how I roll. It’s it’s how he made me to be, and that’s what I’m going with.

Miranda [00:03:57]:
And so I love the concept of Pecha Kucha. I love the concept of Empower to Rise. So I really ran with this and took an experience that I had in Hawaii and it was actually a photo I took one day when I was walking along the golf course where we were staying and I noticed that this path I was walking down on one half was beautiful, lush grass. It was green and gorgeous and alive and fluffy and just so vibrant, and the other side of the path I was walking looked dead. It wasn’t grass. It was volcanic, like, rock. It was lava that had cooled because I was on the big island and it’s all, like, volcanic ash and well, not ash. It’s all volcanic rock, and so the land in the Earth is very, like old lava.

Miranda [00:04:52]:
And so they used that as landscaping there, which I thought was brilliant, of course, but it was still natural. Right? It was still beautiful. It was still, you know, a part of the land, and they were using that, side as just, like, you know, what you would look out over. Nobody really drove on it, obviously. But I was walking down the path of of either side was completely different and almost opposite of each other. Right? And so I was, like, wow. Like, talk about duality. Like and it just made me start thinking about, like, God, how he made earth and how the make how man comes in and changes it a little bit, but still using the same elements, like, with the grass.

Miranda [00:05:34]:
This golf course was obviously man made, and how we could have both. We can have God’s beautiful earth, and man can also create beauty within the earth too. So I was just on, like, a whole tangent in my brain on that walk, and so that’s what my presentation became about. Because I started to think about my life and how I used to really struggle with wanting to be Britney Spears, but also wanting to be a wife and a mom, a sports mom, and have a home with a white picket fence and a 2.5 dogs, you know, whatever. But I also wanted to be, like, celebrity, travel the world, luxury, like, spotlights on me. And I used to really, really struggle with that, like, part of me because I thought, like, the wife and the the mom and all that stuff, making lunches, was, like, plan b. I know that sounds messed up, but it’s legit. I’ve written articles about it.

Miranda [00:06:32]:
I’ve been in books about it. Like, people have interviewed me about it years years years ago. I’ve embraced it since, obviously. And so I used to call it my plan b life as so messed up. I know. And so I kinda, like, gave up, quote, unquote, on having my name in lights and embraced momness. Right? Like but I was obviously very young. I didn’t realize how amazing momness is.

Miranda [00:06:54]:
But, also, I I realized I didn’t have to give all that up. Years years ago, I worked for the coach. She was amazing. And it we did one session. It wasn’t even like it took years. It was one session and she was like, what’s your problem, girl? And I’m like, I’m really struggling with, like, wanting to be, you know, a celebrity on stage and wanting to also build this beautiful home for my family and make lunches. Like, I wanted both of them. It wasn’t just plan b.

Miranda [00:07:23]:
It really was just like, I’m I remember being maybe 20, 23, maybe, moving out of one of my apartments, moving in with a girlfriend. We were both gonna move to California. She was gonna work there. Her family lived there, and I was gonna be famous. Like, I was like, I’m going to California. I’m going to do it, bitches. Let’s fucking go. And I I remember standing in my kitchen, packing up the last box and saying, alright, girl.

Miranda [00:07:50]:
This is your last chance. You’re, like, 23, 24. Like, if you don’t make it, you’re just gonna get married. You’re gonna have kids. You’re gonna be an awesome mom. It’s gonna be great. So that was, like, my backup. And, like, I remember thinking that I wish I could go back to her time travel, to my past self, into that moment and be like, girl, you’re gonna love being a mom, but you also get to have your name in lights.

Miranda [00:08:09]:
But, also, you’re not going to California. I would’ve saved myself some heartbreak. You know? I ended up moving to New York to try to be famous. Long story short there, but we’ll get into that maybe at some other time. But the duality of those two desires that I had within me, I was almost, like, putting off one for the other because of my age, knowing I’d eventually do the other one. And so that was a part of my speech. I actually started the the talk out, you know, describing duality and how, you know, it’s in everything. Right? Like, it’s often looked at as a paradox, a conflict within ourselves, and I thought that was crazy to me that people could look at duality as a as a conflict, which it wasn’t crazy because, clearly, I just described me having a conflict in my twenties.

Miranda [00:08:56]:
But now in my forties, low forties, I I look at duality as a gift. Like, I’m so I have, like, 2 lives in me. Like, I’m amazing. Like, there’s this part of me that, you know, there’s the light. There’s the dark. Like, oh, whatever. Blah blah blah. And it and I think I’m very blessed to to recognize this, and I was encouraging everyone to recognize it as well.

Miranda [00:09:22]:
And anybody who was at the event, I’ll dive in a little more today. And anyone who wasn’t, I think there’s a live feed somewhere. Check my LinkedIn or my Insta. I’ll post the live feed, link so you can check out my actual 400 seconds of awesomeness. So I started out describing duality within the world in general, you know, like day night, light and dark, up and down, all that good stuff. Then he came in a little bit deeper into humanity. We have a duality within all of us. You know? The love, hate, grace, lack of patience, whatever.

Miranda [00:09:56]:
Like, all these words I use that were, like, essentially, the dualities within all of us that we often could struggle with. And then I dove into the duality within myself, which became the story. I came up with this concept, of course, like I described in Hawaii, but it also, like, brought me back to this time I heard the story about the 2 wolves within us. Have you ever heard that story? It is essentially, there’s 2 wolves living within us. 1 represents the darkness, which is, like, anger and fear, hate, and the anything dark. And the other wolf within us represents all things light. Right? Love, joy, abundance. And there was a question about the 2 wolves.

Miranda [00:10:36]:
It was like, well, which one wins? And the answer in this story is whichever one you feed. And I always had a problem with, you know, starving any side of me. I like food. I like to eat. And so I was like, I don’t think I like that answer. I don’t think I wanna starve any side of me. Right? Like, no. Thank you.

Miranda [00:11:00]:
So my my presentation was about offering up a new solution to this, quote, unquote, paradox or conflict of duality and turning it into a solution where we get to create a path for ourselves, where we embrace both sides of us, who we are, the light, the dark, all the things. Right? For me, there was many different examples I gave, which I’ll dive into. And it it it’s gonna take a perceptive a perspective shift. Right? Like, a 100%, we can’t just do this and be, like, oh, cool. Like, I’ll just I’ll embrace it all. Awesome. But then, like, there’s still gonna be conflicts along the way, and that’s okay. But I think it’s the the perspective shift.

Miranda [00:11:40]:
You can slowly start to turn it and go through your life. Go through your job. Go through, like, relationships. And what are the dualities within all of them, and what can you pull from each side? Right? The good and the bad. What’s the commonalities that that are good from both or that work for you? Right? And then embrace that and make that the path you carve out for yourself in order to live the life you’re meant to be or to meant to live. So in my Pecha Kucha presentation, I started with my early life. If anyone knows me, I did beauty pageants and I freaking loved them. I was wearing pink or white gowns, ball looking like a giant cupcake, big big eighties hair.

Miranda [00:12:23]:
Right? The bigger the hair, the closer to god. And there was always a crown because girl was a winner, and I always won these beauty pageants. But at the end of the day or the end of the trip, I would go home for the first, you know, 8 or 9 years or so to government housing. We were really poor. My mom had me very young, 16 years old, didn’t have any money, grew up in a very poor family. And although everybody was smart and brilliant and had the ability to climb out of poverty, we did it my mom and I did, of course, when I was, you know, still young. But at the time, she’s still young. She’s a baby herself.

Miranda [00:13:01]:
My gosh. So we were poor. Not a big deal. But the duality there was, you know, am am I poor or am I, like, abundant and rich and, like, a queen? Am I a princess or am I, am I a girl that lives in the projects? Like, it was this weird duality when I went back to the 1st 10 years of my life. And there’s, of course, lots of stories that confused me or the back and forth. But, honestly, the thing I the thing I took from it, and this was the biggest piece for me, was even now today, the commonality between my environment that I lived in and the environment that I was put in, which are beauty pageants, commercials, modeling, you know, like celebrity, little baby celebrity status, was love. There was so much love in both of those environments. And although maybe Monday through Friday I had one environment and Saturday, Sunday I had a different environment, it didn’t it didn’t really matter.

Miranda [00:13:58]:
I didn’t know better, of course. I was a kid. But all I remember from the that instance is I loved my life. I loved my family. I had a fantastic experience, lots of friends. Like, I was happy, and I took love as the common theme from that piece of duality and used it as my foundation for everything else in life. I still do today. Another example was in, like, my high school years, I played sports.

Miranda [00:14:25]:
I, when I was super young, like, you know, I think it was, like, maybe 15, 16 ish, I played baseball. I was the only girl on an all boys league. I started over my boyfriend. 2nd basement. Totally started. It’s a whole thing. But I I loved baseball and I didn’t have any girlfriends that, like, played softball. So it and and my my family is not a sports family, so they weren’t really like, oh, let’s go try out for this team.

Miranda [00:14:53]:
The guy I was dating at the time played baseball, so I too played baseball. So it was a different duality there. I was also a cheerleader too. Right? So in high school I was cheerleader. Skirts. Girly. Super girly. Oh my gosh.

Miranda [00:15:06]:
All the things pink. Right? And so the duality was, like, a question I often got asked was, are you Posh Spice, or are you Sporty Spice? Like, which one are you? And I always thought that I actually enjoyed part of me being super in my masculine energy, like, going hard at sports and working out and being tough, right, and beating the boys or being a part of, you know, one of the guys, but then also putting on a skirt and going doing toe touches and being super girly and beautiful flowy hair. And I just really enjoyed embracing both sides of me. I do the same thing now in business. I embrace both the feminine side of me in business and in my career, I did too, and the masculine side of me, which is, you know, the the analytic side or whatever. So there’s so many different ways for us to embrace the duality within us, especially the masculine and the feminine. If you are in the woo world at all, you know exactly what I’m talking about. If not, Google masculine versus feminine energy and see what pops up.

Miranda [00:16:10]:
We all have both of those energies within us. Men and women both have those energies, and it it serves me well to embrace both of those and not have to reject one of those to be the other one. When people said, which one are you, posh or sporty, spice? I was like, I’m both. I’m just spicy. Like, take that label off me. I’m just spicy. And it became, essentially a an underlying theme subconsciously. I didn’t even realize it until I, like, sat down and really dove into this concept of my life and duality that I lived this out subconsciously or unconsciously, throughout my entire life.

Miranda [00:16:51]:
And then I went on to give the example of what I talked about my name in lights versus sharing the spotlight with a husband and kids. And the coolest part of that is I get to do both now. Embracing both of those sides and finding a way to join them together, to blend them versus choosing 1 or the other or trying to balance them, which we all know is shit. I get to still do what I love, have my name in lights, speaking at events, you know, writing books, having a podcast, and also have my family come along and be a part of the journey. They listen to my podcast. They enjoy my content, although they don’t really engage in it. So, feel free to say great job on LinkedIn, family. But they also but they’re there.

Miranda [00:17:39]:
They’re there to support me. I don’t know why I neglected the fact that if I had a family, that I couldn’t have my name in lights. It was just and so looking back, I feel sorry for that 20 something girl who thought that, And I’m so grateful that I embraced the duality of by name and spotlight, but also embracing and sharing the spotlight with the family I’m creating in order to live the life I do today. And then the duality of me being a professional. Most of you know my story if you followed me at all that I, you know, climbed the ranks within higher education and human resources. You know, got director title. Got great salary, 6 figure salary in the corporate world. Even had my name on a parking spot at one point.

Miranda [00:18:21]:
Like, I was climbing. I was the youngest female director in higher education for the school I worked for as a career director on par to become a campus director, you know, if I was willing to relocate. Anyway but it was I I was that was what I thought I was meant to do. Climb the corporate ladder. Climb, climb, climb, and and just make the money and be awesome. And then I got laid off 4 times in a matter of 5 years. So talk about rejection. Oh my goodness.

Miranda [00:18:51]:
How do I embrace that duality of climb, climb, climb, cut, cut, cut. You know? Like, wow. That’s like talk about that’s a conflict. That’s a paradox. Instead of seeing all those layoffs as a rejection, I often looked at it as a redirection. It was a gift. At some point within those 4 layoffs, I had already started my entrepreneurial journey and I realized those, quote, unquote, rejections were really just redirections because what I was meant to do was not to work in corporate, but still support it, which is still what I do today. I still have tons of corporate clients and, actually, it’ll only get bigger as my books come out.

Miranda [00:19:30]:
And so I was super excited to learn how to embrace the 15, 20 years as I spent in corporate and also take the lessons I learned from these layoffs, quote unquote rejections, and turn it into a vibrant empire that I’m currently building as a podcast owner, an author, a speaker, a coach, a workshop trainer, all the things. Right? So I took what I learned in those experiences, the duality of climbing get higher and rejected and kicked out and and embraced it and made it what I do today. And the value of recognizing that was amazing. I also dove into the more recent duality that I’ve had, which was the loss of my brothers. You know, 6 years ago, I lose 1 and then 7 months ago, I lose a second. And you’re like, how’s there a duality? Loss is loss. And I totally get it. The duality here was how I handled each of those losses with my faith.

Miranda [00:20:32]:
1st loss, I totally rejected. I was like, are you kidding me, God? Like, you just took my brother. Like, beat it. It was just such a struggle. And for years years, I drank to kind of numb the pain. You know, I didn’t pray. I’d go to church and it would just be like, whatever. But, like, my relationship with God, it kind of just was dark.

Miranda [00:20:57]:
Really dark. And, you know, obviously, as I healed in years past, I, you know, saw the error of my ways. I realized it wasn’t working is what was happening. And, I ended up leaning into my faith more and doing more with my faith and building the relationship with God, and I started to heal. And, when the second brother passed, I knew I couldn’t reject the faith my faith again because it didn’t serve me well. It kept me broken. There was no light back then, for years, and so I couldn’t do it again, or I don’t know if I could have physically have made it. So I actually did the opposite.

Miranda [00:21:39]:
I doubled down on my faith. I went really hard. I didn’t, like, thank God for taking my second brother or anything, but I definitely leaned in for comfort, for healing, for answers. Like, I just went really hard and people were like, wow. Like, it was almost like I glazed over the loss and just went right to the light. And it was like, nope. There’s no glazing over, but the right to the light part made it less painful. It was almost like a pain pill that took the edge off while I was growing and learning and leaning in.

Miranda [00:22:13]:
And then little by little, you know, the pain pill wore off and I still felt all the pain, but leaning into the light, what it it it made it completely different. You know? Like, 3 months later, I’m podcasting again and doing what I what I need to do for work and not drinking. Like, like, at all. You know? So it I made that the duality in this situation was the decisions I made in the same situation to embrace my faith differently, reject it or lean into it. And the the healing process, if you will, was completely different, and I think I learned a huge lesson there. So that embracing that difference and finding the thing that worked for me out of those two experiences is was a game changer for me. And, ultimately, it made me learn that no matter how dark a scenario is, there’s always light. And if you can’t see it yet, you know it’s coming.

Miranda [00:23:14]:
I promise you it’s coming. And there’s a Rumi quote that says, if you can’t see the light, it’s often that you are the light. And I just think that’s so powerful. I often speak in companies about being the light in the workforce, us as individuals. And so professionally, it spoke to me just as much as my healing journey. And so I closed the the present ain’t that funny? Like, I don’t know how long the podcast is so far, about 23 minutes, but I did it in 400 seconds. So you’re like, wait. What? But I have the luxury luxury to expand now that I have my my own microphone here.

Miranda [00:23:51]:
But how I closed it was essentially sharing the embracing the power of duality within our own lives opens us up to the abundance that God has for us. You know, there’s a picture of me that you saw on LinkedIn or Instagram in Hawaii between the palm trees, my arms wide open, and that’s essentially how I feel now. I’m completely open to experiencing all of it. The good, the bad, the ugly, and the awesome. And I am just so blessed that I I’ve given myself the gift of embracing duality. And that’s what this show is all about today is essential maybe a wake up call for some of you and maybe just like a cool concept to some others. But either way, if it’s meant to open up a little bit, you know, the doors to figuring out and recognizing the duality within our lives and being okay with not having to choose 1 or the other, just being able to be you, then I think I’ve done my job in this episode. I think helping you to embrace the path of duality ultimately helps you to create the abundance and empowered life that’s meant for you.

Miranda [00:25:03]:
So friends, thank you for listening. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Like, are you like, yeah. I totally see it now. You can do a little life audit. Right? You wanna get practical? Give you a little homework, or do a life audit. Check out your life in 10 year increments and share the dualities and how you’ve embraced them. And if you did it back then, that’s okay.

Miranda [00:25:23]:
Maybe maybe you can now, and maybe it’ll help you heal some old wounds or help you to move forward in a more strategic way. Right? A more aligned way with who you actually are, not the the you you thought you had to be. Right? It’s the you that you actually are. Embracing the duality allows us to be exactly who we are and meant to be, to live the life that’s for us. And I’m here for all of it. Thank you, friends, for listening to another episode of the Own Your Awesome podcast. I’m Miranda Von Frickin. If we’re not connected already, can we get connected?
