I find people of passion - those who love something with all their heart and go after it with conviction - both fascinating and inspiring. We may not all feel that level of passion but we can definitely learn from it. So what does it mean to take something we want to do or be and then truly be committed to that thing? Let's talk about it.

Setting New Year's resolutions is common and they do work for some people. Yet the majority of us lose steam all too soon. To help you achieve your goals this year, think about who you want to BE, not just what you want to DO. Motivation is a muscle that gets tired easily so combining motivation with identity can give you far greater results.

How does change happen? There are different philosophies on this. One is “Massive action is required for massive results.” Another is "Doing small things consistently makes the biggest change." This feels like the fable, "The Tortoise and the Hare." As you probably know, the tortoise wins the race by simply moving slowly but consistently. He doesn’t tire out and is able to give what he can and eventually gets the massive result he wants. In this episode, I talk about why this method is still the best way to approach reaching big goals and what to do when you feel like you didn’t win that race.

Since we were together for the holidays, I thought it would be fun to interview my two daughters, Jillian and Jorja. We talked all about our relationship, what I got right as a mom and what I could have done better, what our relationship looks like now, and how we can make it better. I learned a thing or two and I hope you do too.

Have you ever chosen a word that you focus on for a whole year? I've done this for the past four years and it is so valuable!! It is easier for me to keep my commitment to a one-word focus than to finish all my resolutions.

So how do you choose a word? How do you use it? What are the benefits? I dive into all of these questions and share some of my experiences that have proven to me the power in one word.
