  • 22: Growth is NOT Automatic: Key Intentional Ways to Go to Grow | #walkwithme

    “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.” — Henry Ford

     

    About This Episode:

     

    I believe that if you’re not learning, you’re not growing. And if you’re not growing, you’re dying. 

     

    In this episode of “#WalkWithMe” I offer three principles and some simple practices to help us become perpetual students who can continually grow and benefit from lifelong learning.

  • 21: Healthy Distractions that are More Productive than Binging Netflix | #walkwithme

    “The most dangerous distractions are the ones you love, but that don’t love you back.” — Warren Buffet

     

    About This Episode:

     

    In challenging times like these when we’re trying to adjust to the ‘New Normal,’ it’s important that we have some healthy distractions that can give us release or some peace during the day.

    In this episode of “#WalkWithMe” I talk about the value of intentionally designing healthy distractions that can give your brain a much-needed break and avoid burnout.

  • 20: 7 DIY Ways to Grow During Forced Pause | #walkwithme

    “The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda.” — John C. Maxwell

     

     

    About This Episode:

     

    Throughout the past couple of months, we’ve had to literally pause almost everything. I believe that sometimes with great challenge can come great opportunity. Let’s choose to see this forced pause as time to interrupt the path we were on and possibly reevaluate, readjust and reset. 

     

    In this episode of “#WalkWithMe” I share 7 do-it-yourself (DIY) ways for how to appreciate and take advantage of this forced pause and become better versions of ourselves.

  • 19: 3 Simple Questions to be FUTURE FOCUSED during Challenge | #walkwithme

    “Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.” — Richard Branson

     

     

    About This Episode:

     

    When you’re driving your car, do you spend your time looking out the front windshield or in the rearview mirror? How about in life? Are you stuck in past regret and guilt that is preventing you from moving forward? 

     

    In this episode of “#WalkWithMe” I offer three simple questions that can shift our perspective from looking backwards to facing forward, while helping us learn, grow and have faith in any situation.

  • 18: How to Shift the Script from 'Success' to 'Happiness' | #walkwithme

    “Happiness does not consist in having what you want, but in wanting what you have.” — Confucius

     

     

    About This Episode:

     

    In terms of your time and emotional energy, what do you focus more on: being successful or being happy? For many of us, it’s the pursuit of success. I believe that the definition of success is really messed up and can actually lead us away from happiness.

     

    In this episode of “#WalkWithMe” I unpack the traditional definition of success as it relates to our pursuit of happiness and offer a simple practical way to discover what can make us truly happy in life.

  • 17. Summing Up the Attraction Equation | #walkwithme

    “The law of attraction states that whatever you focus on, think about, read about, and talk about intensely, you’re going to attract more of into your life.” — Jack Canfield

     

    About This Episode:

     

    Have you ever met somebody who seems to always have everything work out for them, as in the Midas touch? You might call it luck or energy. I call it “attraction.”

     

    In this episode of “#WalkWithMe” I break down the Attraction Equation and share two fundamentals I’ve found consistent in attracting things not only into my own life, but into all the individuals I’ve come across whose high energy and vibe seem to always get them what they want.

  • 15. 7 Life Lens Questions to Zoom in Focus | #walkwithme

    Your life is controlled by what you focus on. — Tony Robbins

     

    About This Episode:

     

    This forced pause is an opportunity to reassess our values and priorities, and maybe even a wake-up call that the life path we were on may not be the right direction. I call that direction our ‘meant to’.

     

    In this episode of “#WalkWithMe” I share a personal formula I’ve developed called a ‘Life Lens’ that asks 7 important questions designed to help me focus on and find fulfillment in what I’m ‘meant to’ do—no matter what.

    “Comparison is the thief of joy.” — Theodore Roosevelt
