Brilliant Balance

Does fulfilling your deepest desires sound like a pipe dream? If so, you're not alone – many of us think executing our vision would take too much time or energy, or that doing so is simply impossible.

We don't always see or honor the gap between our desire and our ability to execute. And this "desire gap" can be the root cause of a lot of suffering.

But many times, our dreams are not beyond our reach, we just have to figure out why we're behaving as though they are.

In this episode, you'll discover the truth behind your "not yet" pattern and learn how to close the gap between your desire and the doability of your goals.

Show Highlights Include:

• What the tragic story of an injured soccer player can teach you about the gap between desire and doability (3:35)
• The "sticky story problem" that creates mental rigidity and stops you from taking action towards your dreams (11:17)
• How to spot and destroy the fake rules stopping you from closing your desire gap (12:57)
• Why you should stop being a "lone ranger" when it comes to reaching your goals (15:07)
• How to overcome the "not yet" pattern that kills your dreams (17:17)

We're often raised to seek approval from others:

At school, we're rewarded for behaving well and studying. As adults, we get job titles and money when we work hard.

That makes it easy to neglect the things nobody rewards us for. But the moments no one else sees are often the most fulfilling and meaningful.

And if you make more of those moments happen, you'll be happier and feel more fulfilled.

Today, as I talk to Emily Thomas, Chief of Staff of Cultivate What Matters, she shares how to design a life where each day adds up to something special.

Listen to discover how to intentionally set goals rooted in what truly matters and how to create habits that will impact not only your present but also your future.

Show Highlights Include:

• How to find out what really matters to you without getting distracted by social media (06:42)
• How to use "power sheets" to set your priorities and turn your dream life into reality (10:55)

30 Days to Vibrant Energy: www.brilliant-balance.com/energy

Investing in yourself might seem out of the question. You consider it 'cash to burn' and don't see any financial returns on it.

But when you classify everything as an expense, it's hard to see anything as an investment. You miss the opportunities that come your way and keep tunnel vision on the short-term.

Opportunity costs when you hold onto it. But if you play with the right hand, the investments could have a return beyond anything you've imagined.

In this episode, you'll learn 3 ways to invest in yourself without guilt (and an unlimited potential for growth).

Show highlights include:

• How to differentiate expenses and investments for your most powerful purchases yet. (2:20)
• How to stop thinking like a Cash Burner and make the best investments for your future. (9:55)
• Why taking your income to the next level isn't all about finances. (12:45)
• The Experience Elements that are worth the investment (and take your finances beyond). (15:33)

30 Days to Vibrant Energy: www.brilliant-balance.com/energy

We probably all carry a little fear around money conversations… but when it comes to asking for more, it feels easier to budget our days away (than ask for the income we deserve).

When we cut back on spending or look at downsizing, we only end up thinking smaller. And when we think smaller, we will always feel limited. There will be no financial opportunities to seize or places to grow.

In this episode, you'll learn the 3 ways of maximizing your income (without having to pinch pennies along the way).

Show highlights include:

• Using Expansive Energy to make your income level higher than it is today. (0:55)
• How to normalize conversations around money (while maintaining grace and professionalism). (7:30)
• How to break through the Hewitt Gender Gap and reach for that next-level promotion. (12:10)
• Why you don't need to hustle or overtax your time to make the money you want. (16:14)

30 Days to Vibrant Energy: www.brilliant-balance.com/energy

Financial management is not a topic everyone wants to talk about. In fact, most people go out of their way to avoid the money talk. Whether it's a credit score that needs work or a budget that needs focus, finances aren't always the easiest to discuss.

But why do these conversations feel impossible to have? And how can we have a better relationship with money?

When you refuse to discuss money, it might mean you are operating as a financial child. You don't want to be bothered by bills, budgets, or credit scores. You just want to have fun.

In this episode, you'll learn the 3 ways a financial child operates (and 7 ways to work that money into adulthood).

Show highlights include:

• How to ditch the permission slip and create more comfortability in sharing finances. (6:33)
• Why carrying nothing but 'fun money' cuts the power dynamic in your house and molds a financial child. (9:15)
• How to have the most important conversations about money (before a crisis occurs). (14:30)
• The Seven Ways to work towards financial adulthood and make the money you want. (17:54)
