Unleash Your Alter Ego And Transform Your Business (And Your Life!) | Ep. 160

We all have unique gifts that we can offer to the world. But for some of us, discovering those gifts can be challenging.  Sometimes, the very talents that can make the most impact in the world go undiscovered & untapped.  And what’s really frustrating is that these undiscovered, untapped gifts are often not buried away - they are talents that come naturally to you, you do on a regular basis, and you give away for free! I sat down recently with Lisa Sasevich, Queen of Sales Conversion and author of the new book: Meant For More to discuss the challenge of finding your unique gifts and turning those gifts into an irresistible offer so you can earn what you’re worth and make the difference you’re here to make. Lisa shares her easy-to-follow formula that helps you find your unique value, make more money, have more impact, and get more out of life. Plus, she has a special offer you won’t want to miss. If you’re longing more impact, more success, more fulfillment, more abundance, more freedom, more joy … I encourage you to listen now.

How To Avoid The ‘Shoulda, Coulda, Wouldas’ And Discover Your Unique Gifts| Ep. 159

As business owners in the digital age, we’ve been taught that a social media presence is critical to having success. And we’ve been taught that standing out amongst the sea of profiles and posts is essential in a social media marketing strategy.  But what if that’s wrong?  What if we’re causing ourselves and our businesses undue suffering as a result of relentlessly trying to stand out on social media? I sat down with Karen Kenney to explore the energy we put toward being special or significant - and the cost we are incurring to do so.  Plus, we discuss the joy that can be found in embracing your insignificance in the world and how to trust your intuition to guide you and keep you on the path that you are truly meant to be.

Is Standing Out On Social Media Really The Way To Go? | Ep. 158

Whenever I find myself in a new environment (physical or emotional), I often feel lost and uncomfortable. Whether it’s a literal ‘somewhere’ or I’m stepping into a new venture in my life, those feelings often lead me to feel like everything is falling apart. This happened to me last December -– and I decided to post a status update about it on Facebook. Today, I talk with Karen Kenney about the process I went through in December that led me to that Facebook post and I teach you Three Steps To Take When Things Fall Apart. Plus, Karen and I discuss how the Top 3 Fears keep us from being vulnerable to other people and how to have the courage to be vulnerable anyway.

What To Do When Things Fall Apart | Ep. 157

When it comes to death there is one thing I know for sure: it’s inevitable. One way or another, death is often a profound experience. And when it comes to the death of celebrities, the after effect of it can sometimes be surprising. In today’s episode, Karen Kenney and I come together to talk about the recent passing of Kobe Bryant and what it means for each of us. There are lessons here for all of us. When someone we feel like we know (but don’t actually know) dies, it can stir up a lot of deep, personal feelings. We explore the complexity of those feelings and how to channel it into doing good in the world.
