It’s Monday and time to dive into our work week. But before we lose ourselves to the chase for more and start fitting everyone else’s to dos into our workload… what if we made time to anchor back in to our own hopes, dreams and goals? Here’s a pep talk to remind you that you have an important mission here on earth one that you can design and one that will be unique to you. Don’t lose yourself in everyone else’s agenda.

Yikes! Did I just admit that I made three mistakes this week? Well I did. And I’ve been bummed about it ever since. For anyone who has been called a perfectionist, you can imagine the self inflicted suffering I’ve imposed on myself. But then I gave myself a pep talk. And recorded it. It was super powerful for me to hear and receive. And I hope it is for you too!

How much information can you share without over sharing? When you are in a tough place, what level of information is important to share to get your team to buy in? It’s a question I get asked a lot from other business leaders and having lead in the pandemic, where I needed a LOT of help… I think I have some inspiration to share.

We glamorize competition. In fact we have been brainwashed to believe as women we need to compete for love, attention and success. And so often the people we compete with are OTHER women. But what if instead of sizing each other up and trying to be better than one another, we stepped into our natural state of love and actually cheered for one another?

What do you do when it comes down to picking people or profit? I’m not just talking about the A+ student answer on a multiple choice question. I’m talking about in real time, behind closed doors, when no one would blame you. How do you navigate living in integrity? Here’s what I’ve been learning about just that.

Have you ever started something you hoped to turn into a habit, only to quit because it inconveniences someone you love? If you’ve ever struggled with people pleasing, co dependency or needing permission to do something good for yourself than this pep talk is for you!

Self care is like a four letter word to moms. We all know we need to prioritize our self care, our sanity and wellbeing. That part we can agree on. What’s hard is to dial in what exactly that looks like for you AND then to actually show up and do it. So often we start something and love it, but when it’s inconvenient to our families and coworkers we flake. We pull the plug. We go back to auto pilot and burn ourselves out all over. If that sounds like you, not only are you in good company, but I have this pep talk to share with you.

Yep you heard that right. So many beautiful souls take pride in their sense of responsibility. But then they take that and put it into unhealthy overdrive and it turns into perfectionism and guilt. If you are feeling stuck, burned out and even depressed or have anxiety because you are too damn responsible, then this episode is for you!

It’s the worst when someone you trusted doesn’t live up to your expectations. Or when someone you care for or love hurts you. How do you navigate it in a way you are proud of and in a way that allows you to truly forgive, let go and not let what happened burden you in your future? If you relate to this at all, then this pep talk is for you!

It happens. Sometimes the people closest to us say things that discourage us from pursuing our dreams. So what do you do when this happens? Listen to this pep talk to be guided back into why the only opinion that matters is YOURS!
