Attention to Intention

I think we all can agree there's this uneasy feeling that is permeating through the air.

We are. We have been. We will continue to be (welcome to life) be in a time of transition.  And if you're like me, when there's time for change, we hang on tighter to the sh*t that we know doesn't serve us & insert the shame cycle (when we tell ourselves we're going to do the thing & then don't). 

In this microepisode we unpack: 

• Why we hang onto the thing that one served us & no longer does 
• The stories that we tell ourselves to justify it
• Microsteps to move into action

Kindness, man, she's the hottest game in town. One small act of kindness, the ripple impact is so powerful. 

This woman who pulled up a seat at our proverbial table this week, Nada Lena Nasserdeen, showed me such kindness when all I had was self-doubt, a crumpled up piece of paper in my mind, and a sh*t ton of uncomfortable feelings.  She made the time to sit with me, to hear me, and to share with me her story & I'll be forever grateful. May you, my friend, make one small act of kindness this week. 

Nada Lena Nasserdeen is Founder & CEO of Rise Up For You, Best Selling Author, Leadership & Confidence Coach & 2X TEDx Motivational Speaker. 

In this conversation, you hear Nada & I unpack:

• Purpose, what does it really mean & how do you get the core of what yours is? 
• How you're holding yourself back & more importantly, the why behind it. 
• Microsteps to talk to the person that you've never been taught to talk to: YOU 

You'll leave this conversation knowing you're not alone, hearing the life break you open moments that both Nada & I experienced &  the tangible steps on rising up for you.

It's a word we hear all the time yet in our broad stroke & abstract world, when was the last time we unpacked this mythical creature that affects so many of us in our fast-paced world.

In this episode, we aim to demystify it by exploring the signs, where she strikes (newsflash: its more than just at work), the why behind her existence, and the microsteps to face her head on when she comes in your path.

Here's to the power of language. May you walk out of this microconversation with the toolkit to navigate through this journey & to do it the best way how, together.

Watch Our TEDx talk / Detoxing Off The Drug of Achievement: may it give you the courage to be vulnerable with the hardest person there is: YOU 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_wJHAnlqzc

A string of coincidences that seem too perfect to be random. Those goose bump worthy moments of the 'thing' showing up at just the right time.  Ever felt like the universe was trying to communicate to you?

What a gift in this thing called life. To rise up off the screens & the pings & the dings of life to lean into these beautiful moments.

As my spiritual journey has grown into something that has felt right to me (not what the rest of the world has bullhorned in my ear) it has given me the courage & the strength to push through the fear. And it's my hope, my friend, that this episode with my dear friend & beautiful universe whisperer, Tammy Mastroberte, will give you the courage to rise up from the chaos & hear what the universe is trying to tell you.

In this episode Tammy & I unpack:

• How to break through the chaos that we create so you can hear & feel these beautiful universal signs
• Connecting to a loved one that has past. What the majority of us struggle with & how we can break through our roadblocks to receive the signs. 
• Reflecting on your own journey & recognizing all the sh*t you had to go through to get here & how it gives you the courage to step into another chapter of your life

A girlfriend of mine had shared with me that her marriage changed when she stopped complaining about her husband &  it got me thinking about how much I complain in my own life.

How are you? 'I'm good, but...'  There's always the butt.

In this episode, we unpack how the words we use are powerful & how we don't even realize it. We'll offer practical microsteps to reframe our mindset, reduce negativity & foster more constructive conversations (most importantly the one you're having with yourself)

Grab the earbuds & join us in this microconversation as we unpack the question 'how much are you complaining?'

We hear this all the time: everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about & rarely do we stop to think about how this is showing up in our life.

For over a decade, I worked with people & never really knew them - the facade BS, the niceities, & who I need to go to for what but never did I stop to really know them.

This conversation today is a direct reflection of that - Lanay Zarallo & I worked side by side for years, felt we had a good relationship, we were both struggling & didn't even realize it (didn't even know it ourselves). Isn't it funny how you can become so immune to going through the motions that you don't even realize you're doing it because you stuffed that sh*t so deep? 

In this conversation, with my dear friend & beautiful human, Lanay Zarallo you'll hear us mask down & human first unpack:

• The film we hid beind & that sh*t was on so tight, we didn't even realize it
• The mindset of an overachieving, how it forces us into this mode of hustling & how you end up existing
• The power of the conversations you have with yourself & how your environment is a big part of that

Isn't it something, when you get the message you need, right when you need it? Talk about a universal moment, I needed this message today.

You don't experience life, you experience the life you focus on (MIC DROP) and this weeks episode is dedicated to the lessons that life taught me this week.

Life, she can be the greatest teacher of all time, if we shift our mindset to 'what is this teaching me?'

As we pause to listen to our tales, a really cool thing happens, we uncover a tapestry of lessons that illuminate the path towards personal growth, resilience, and self-realization. From the triumph of resilience in the face of failure to the profound revelations that arise from unexpected encounters, each story serves as a beacon of inspiration, reminding us of the immense potential for growth and learning in our own lives.

Grab the earbuds & pull up a seat as dig into the lessons. Here's to looking for them, here's to the lens that emerges & the resilience & optisim & purpose when we reframe the conversations we've never been taught how to have, the one with ourself.

Joy. She's an enigma isn't she? 

You feel it & think 'don't get to excited, the other shoe is going to drop'

Almost like you're manifesting it & then when it does, you think 'sh*t, told ya so?'

Why is this sought after emotion the most difficult emotion to have? Join us, tribe, as we embark on a mask down, human first vulnerable conversation on the intricate layers that consume the stories we tell ourselves.

In this microepisode, we'll explore my own struggle with allowing myself to feel joy. The deep layer of intertwining into the conversations we have with ourselves & the 4 questions that have you asking with curiosity, what does bring me joy?

Do you catch yourself saying: I don't even recognize myself anymore? The constant hustle of life having you feeling agitated & irritated at life?

Then this episode is for you, my friend. In this kitchen table conversation with my friend, Holly Hunt, we talk about both of our journeys to overcoming resentment, freeing ourselves from the grasps & the work we're still doing.

My friend, Holly Hunt, has a 17 year track record in telecommunication sales & currently works on a national level with Comcast. She serves on boards for Alliance of Channel Women & Comcast Women's Network ERG & volunteers for Dress for Success. She's passionate about motivating & inspiring others & using her story to help others build their brand & find their purpose.

Through heartfelt & mask down conversations, we share our personal stories of triumph over resentment, mindset hacks we learned along the way, giving you the tools & the microsteps to spring from information into action.

During this episode you'll hear us unpack:

• Power of rituals & the rituals that you have that you may not even realize
• Resentment & how it sneaks up in our lives & how to rise up above it
• The gift of vulnerability & the breeding ground of connection that stems from it

In our sprint to accomplish the next thing, make more money, close the deal, get the car, fit into the jeans: I don't think we stop enough to celebrate all that we already have done & our own growth.  

As I was driving up to my high school to deliver a workshop to moms & daughters on mental health & living their truth, I had this 'aha' moment on my own growth & want to share with you the same conversation I had with myself.

In this conversation, we'll unpack this big abstract of growth. What is it? How you've already done it & how to recognize it.

Your past self is so proud of you - gift yourself an opportunity to revel in that pride & see if for yourself in this moment.
