Ep 184. When You Didn’t Get Enough Sleep

Come ask me a question and learn how to solve any problem all for free: CLICK HERE I love to sleep. I could be a professional napper. But sometimes I just don’t get as much as I wish I could. Sometimes it’s the kids in my bed or my brain running wild in the night. Other times it’s me staying up too late doing something important like a Netflix binge. Today I want to tell you why those nights when you didn’t get in the hours you wanted don’t have to create problems for you the next day. This is simple but has been life changing for me.

Ep 182. Sneaky Little Thoughts

Sometimes we have thoughts that we know are negative. We may not be able to change them but it’s easy to identify them as problem thoughts. Then, other times, we have thoughts that sound useful. They feel necessary. They sound pretty or righteous or feel very justified and reasonable. Maybe other people offer them to us or agree that they are the right thoughts. These sneaky little guys are the ones I want to talk to you about today. They can be just as detrimental to us as the more obviously negative ones and your ability to identify them for that will help to give you authority over them.

Ep 180. Better Than Happy Live Part 3

Today’s episode is the third and final segment of Better Than Happy Live. If you’ve been listening to this series you’ve heard just a tiny bit of what I cover at this full day workshop style event, but I hope it gives you a deeper look into how applying these tools in your life literally changes everything. In today’s segment we talk a lot about emotions. Specifically, what to do with the negative ones and why being willing to feel them and not resist them is the secret to achieving your dreams.

Ep 178. Podcast Live Part 1

This is Part 1 of a series of segments from the live podcast event I did last fall. We spent a full day together diving into this work deeper, coaching to gain real life perspective, and getting to know one another. It was amazing.

Ep 176. Transitions

Today I’m sharing something I’ve discovered about myself in my own self coaching and as I’ve stopped snacking. Transitions are uncomfortable. I’m sharing my own personal story of struggling with major transitions in my past, but I’m also sharing what I have discovered that has been so mind blowing for me about the discomfort of my day to day life. This knowledge helps me understand what I really need so that I can keep on track with my goals, and I’m sharing it with you just in case you can relate.

Ep 174. Gossip

Gossip is something that most of us agree we don’t want to participate in, but there is something about it that is exciting and compelling to our brains. Today we’re taking a look at why it’s so tempting, what the negative effect of it is in our lives, and I’m giving you a three-step process for kicking this habit once and for all. Spoiler alert: A much more amazing life exists for you on the other side of this habit if you’re willing to stay in the discomfort of cutting it out.

Ep 172. Editing Your Life

We live in a world full of options and everyone wants our time and attention. While having so many options is an amazing part of an advanced world, it also leads to decision fatigue for many. Today I’m going to talk to you about editing your life and making decisions ahead of time so that you can minimize the amount of decisions you need to make. We’ll talk about editing your stuff, your food, your time, your digital life and your mind. Don’t miss this episode.

Ep 170. Changing A Bad Habit

Today I want to give you an in-dept lesson in the concept of buffering. Buffers can include everything from drugs, alcohol and pornography to overeating, shopping or video games. You’ll know it’s a buffer if it has a net negative effect in your life. This episode is one of my most powerful and includes the work I’m doing on my own buffers, a step-by-step process for changing your own, and why doing this work matters, and at the same time doesn’t matter at all.

Ep 168. Accessing Creativity

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of reading up on accessing your own creativity and today I want to share some of my biggest take aways. I’m sharing teachings from Stephen Pressfield, Austin Kleon and Elizabeth Gilbert. Tune in as I teach you why you don’t need to be original, how to deal with criticism and failure, and why creating something doesn’t feel like you might have imagined it would feel. Let’s get you making the “music” you were meant to make.

Ep 166. What Is Truth?

When we share our testimonies at church we often say, “I know this church is true.” We find great peace in knowing it’s true. So when I teach people the CTFAR model they often want to put their religious beliefs in the circumstance line. When I tell them their beliefs go in the thought line, they think I’m suggesting they should question their testimony or that I’m denying these beliefs in some way. Today I want to explain why our beliefs go in the thought line, and why this is very good news. Why this can provide you ultimate peace and comfort and why understanding this can help create better results in your life.

Ep 158. “How” is None of Your Business

Most people are searching for the answers to “how” to achieve the things they want to in life. They think if they can figure out how, then they will believe it is possible and then they will go for it. Today I want to teach you why this is backwards and how to let go of the how and take massive action to achieve any result you can commit to believing.

Ep 157. Accepting and Questioning

In our natural unsupervised state our brains want to focus on and try to change things outside of us. If this worked I would tell you to keep doing it but it mostly doesn’t work. So today I want to teach you how to accept the things that happen that are outside of your control without being a doormat. Then we’ll talk about questioning all of your thoughts. Especially the ones that seem like just true facts and absolutely when they are creating a problem for you. Tune in so I can teach you this valuable concept so you can apply it as you do your own self-coaching.

Ep 155. Beyond Normal

My clients like to ask me if their feelings or behavior is normal given a certain situation. It’s as though our brains want to be justified in some way. Today I want to talk to you about what is normal and I recommend that you question whether or not “normal” is going to create the life you truly want.Join me today as I dive into this topic including tons of examples.

Ep 153. Let’s Play

Play is an important part of your life. It not only is fun and feels good, but it impacts your emotional health as well. As kids we understand this but as we grow up we tend to allow the responsibility and pressure of being an adult get in the way of play. On today’s episode I want to encourage you to incorporate play in your life and I’ll give you several reasons why. Tune in to learn all about the importance of play.

It’s nearly Mother’s Day. And if you’re like many women I know you secretly hate this day. You try not to but it seems like your expectations are never met. You don’t know why you’re disappointed but you just are. Or perhaps you hate it because of the strained dynamic that exists between you and your mother and this day brings up all of it for you. Well I have good news for you. You can love Mother’s Day and it’s simpler than you ever imagined. Tune in to today’s episode to ensure you have the best Mother’s Day ever.

Ep 145. I’m a Mormon

I’m a Mormon. This is not a surprise to you I hope. But today I want to talk with you about why I’m a Mormon. I want you to decide why you believe whatever you believe because the why matters. Are you a Mormon because of the community? Is it because of a certain church leader? Is it because of Joseph Smith? Are you a Mormon by default or is it rooted in sound doctrine that makes your life better? Just something to consider. Tune in to learn how I answered this question for myself.

Today I’m teaching you the 4 steps to skill mastery. For each phase I’ll be describing it and helping you identify what you need to move through it to the next phase. Let’s see what you create when you get good at mastering any skill you want to have.

Ep 141. Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a divine attribute. We are commanded to repent and seek His forgiveness and we are also commanded to forgive others. But only every time. But how? How do we know if we’ve been forgiven and what is Godly sorrow? Forgiveness is not something you do. It’s a change in the way you think and feel about someone else. It’s your opportunity to be a higher version of you. It’s not easy work but it’s available and on today’s episode I’m giving you some tools to put this important principle into action in your life.

Ep 139. Self Respect

What is respect anyway? What qualities do we look for in someone that we respect? Today I’m walking you through a closer look at respect and then we take what we learn and apply it to self respect. In today’s world of instant gratification and concentrated pleasure, erosion of self respect is a problem. When you learn to respect yourself, you’ll live a higher life.
