  • 16 - Not New Year New You - 5 Tips to Help You Grow This Year

    2022 doesn't need a new YOU! Today we are talking about why you need to get rid of the thought pattern of a New Year New YOU! The world doesn't need a new you but we all have room to grow and that's what we need to focus on! I want you to focus on growth and lasting change instead of thinking you need to recreate who you were created to be!

    Grab some paper and start planning, setting goals, and dreaming by growing who you already are to become who God is calling you to be in this new year!

    If you need to go back and do the reflecting exercises you can find those in Episode 14 HERE

  • 14 - Reflecting Back So You Can Reframe What's Ahead

    It's almost the end of the year and we are hearing all the ways we need to be setting goals, working hard to the end of the year, and pushing for even bigger goals for the coming year.... we are also hearing how we need to slow down, do less, enjoy more. I'm all about goals and plans but I want them to be set within healthy boundaries. 

    Today on the show I'm talking you through an exercise that will look back over the year so you can reframe what's ahead with some intention. We will use many questions to help us create 2 lists to look at where we have been and 2 lists to look at where we want to go. We will use these lists to create the intentions that we will frame the year ahead in. We can set all the goals and make all the plans and still look back and see where we missed out on how we wanted our lives to look. This exercise is powerful in helping you to move forward with a plan to live on purpose, how you are called, and to be who you were created to... no matter what goals you set for yourself!

    I would love to hear how you choose to frame 2022. Message me on Instagram HERE so we can chat!

  • 11: Benefits of Moving Your Body

    Do you tend to look at movement and exercise as something to help you achieve the goal for how you want your body to look?

    There are SO many benefits to moving your body. Today I will touch on just a few of those benefits for you. I want you to look at movement as something you GET to do to improve your entire body... and not just the physical appearance of it.


    We spend a lot of money on vehicles to get us around and we spend a lot of money maintaining them so they will last us a very long time... Doesn't your body deserve the same? It is the vehicle that gets us around in life. We use it to care for and serve others and it is worth investing some time into it each day to make sure all systems are running well.

  • 10: Overcoming Overwhelm

    Are you overwhelmed? 

    Do you struggle with feeling overwhelmed with all the things on your plate?

    Are the demands on your schedule leaving you feeling stressed out, frustrated and defeated?

    I think we all struggle with overwhelm from time to time, so know that you are not alone! Overwhelm is not something we feel because of the chaos in your lives... but it IS something we feel because of the chaos in our minds!!! The best way to overcome overwhelm is to get the thoughts out of our minds that are contributing to the chaos. In today's episode I share how I use a brain dump to create a to do list that allows me to get all the things running through my mind onto paper and scheduled to be taken care of. When we can get the things we need to keep track of and remember onto paper and out of our heads, we can finally stop feeling overwhelmed! Creating a plan gives us freedom in the space in our minds and allows us to feel less overwhelmed and more in control.
