A Little Bit Better

Today we talk about being the author of your own life. When life feels wild and out of control, or dark and uncertain, it’s easy to forget that you get to be the one penning your story. Circumstances are usually beyond control, but HOW you show up, how you react and engage (or not) is always in your hands. Don’t let anyone else hijack your story, instead believe and act like you’re creating a best seller! I know you are!

Show Notes: 
Ep.17: Self-belief ain’t no joke!

Today we talk about the power of believing in yourself. For real.
Not just saying and hoping, no, more like wishing that you do, but realizing the magic that happens when you actually do. That can be hard, it takes training, just like your favourite dance moves, or how you build your cardio up by doing it regularly. It is possible!

You can move towards your goals and dreams, but first, you need to believe you can.
I believe you've got this!

Without intent, there is no commitment to giving yourself a better life.
Ouch. That kinda hurts!
So get intentional then! Only you can create your life in the best possible version. It's going to take some work, real work, not just reading inspirational posts!

Join me for this little pep talk about why being intentional truly is the gift that keeps on giving, the catalyst steering you towards your goals. You have goals! You have dreams. I know you do. I also know you can achieve them once you decide to. Listen to this episode, get fired up, get intentional and get going! You got this.

4, 3, 2, 1... Blast of---  waaaaaait! Stay on Earth for 20 minutes as we look at what 'Shooting for the moon' means today (hint: always strive for greatness in all you do!), and how maybe it's not all it's cracked up to be. We explore how picking our moments to rise high is [a little bit] better than the stress of trying to be number 1 at all things, all the time AND of course a little nudging to let go of that and love yourself as you are. Cleared for take off, my friend.

Today we expand upon last week’s talk about body stress and handling it in heightened periods of stress. We’ll look at the stigma that taking care of our own needs often has especially for women, as well empower you to drop the guilt of looking after you. 

You can’t pour water from an empty pitcher. You will always show up best when you are at your best and that means making yourself a priority.

You are worth it, forever and always!  You got this.

• The Dance of Anger: A Woman's Guide to Changing the Patterns of Intimate Relationships, by Harriet Lerner

Show Notes:

Living through a pandemic has been…trying. A bit of a mental yo-yo for many and processing our often intense emotions for 6 months is exhausting!  

Many of you told me you’re struggling with a lot of negative self-talk. Fear, anxiety and doubting your decisions has been an increased trend. When is this bad “day” going to end?!

We don’t know that, but we can take it easy on ourselves. Take a listen to this quickie episode, and know you are not alone! I give you tips on combating some of the bad day feelings as well as permission (you don’t need that from me though!) to let go of the negative feelings weighing you down.

I see you. I feel you. I am you! Okay, I am me and you are you, but we are in this together!
