I learned recently that I have a certain socializing threshold before it starts to weigh on me. It's nothing against the new friends I have made in Houston because I think socializing is amazing. My boundaries were being tested throughout this process. I told my friends this and they were super supportive. One friend even said, "You are my competition". If you're interested in what he meant by that, listen in!

As a coach, I'm often asked, "How do I get my significant other to lose weight?" And my answer has always been, "Lead by example." I recently reflected on how I was spending my time with balancing socializing with building my business and I was recently told by a good friend that I was "their competition" in a good way. How are you leading by example? Listen in as I explain more!

We are not born with confidence; we build it. The best way in my opinion to build your confidence is to ask yourself a very important question: "What's the worst that can happen?" If you honestly answer that, it's not as bad as you think. I want you to take some time soon for yourself, undistracted, to sit with your own thoughts and get clear on your confidence. Listen in as I explain more!

Had an ego flair up event happen recently and I wanted to share it on the podcast because I think it's an important topic. Our ego can be an indicator of a misalignment between how we perceive ourselves and reality. Listen in as I explain a real life example and what you can do about your ego.

The cliche is true but this probably isn't the episode you think it's going to be. I'm not talking about missing an ex, I'm talking about living intentionally. We live in such a crazy fast paced world that it can be hard to savor the current moment and want to skip to the good part as the Tiktok and song suggest. I think we miss a lot of life when we do that. Listen in as I explain more.

I don't want kids. I go to bed at 8pm. I wake up at 4am. These go against the "social norm" and I'm here for it. I want you to do what makes you happy and live the life you want and a lot of times, that means going against what most people would do. I want to give you examples and then give you a call to action on starting to live the life you want!

Just by the title, you know you're in for some tough love today but I want you to know it's coming from a good place. I've recently had a health fear realized and that got me to thinking about how I process pain in different ways and how I'm matured in that process over time. I want to explain why you don't have to suffer during times of pain and growth.

This episode might sting a bit but it's worth investing in listening and reflecting on. I heard a great sound from a TikTok that I used recently and it inspired this episode. I've been seeing more and more mocking and making fun of other people especially in the gym and that got me to thinking of my younger self. I want you to take this opportunity to analyze where you might be judging or mocking and why.

I've been there too and really recently actually. You do your best to keep boundaries in your life but old habits, insecurities, or wanting to please others creeps in. I want to share with you the 3 reasons why you (and me) don't keep boundaries in our lives and what to do about it.

Received a fabulous question from my Instagram Q&A box all around codependence when it comes to relationships and whew have I been there before. I used to be so dependent on my significant other's presence and opinion of me that I lost part of myself in that process. I want to explain how you go from codependency to interdependence in a relationship and the benefits that has for both of you!
