Brilliant Balance

Whether it's choosing a restaurant for dinner or deciding to move across the country for a job, we face decisions on a daily basis. And sometimes those decisions can feel so overwhelming, you'd rather not make them at all.

But the decision-making process is far more important than the decision itself. And if you spend your time continuously going over the best possible choice, nothing will ever get done.

By making decisions daily, you'll feel confident, have more family time, and get closer to your goals.

In this episode, you'll learn how to become a better decision-maker and why it's essential for living your best life today.

Show highlights include:

• Using the law of inertia to make quicker, more confident decisions (no matter how stuck you feel) (4:37)
• How to counteract the 'five horsemen' of the decision-making apocalypse and take action daily (9:25)
• The four steps to getting rid of 'decision paralysis' and making a choice you feel confident with (even if you don't know the outcome yet) (16:15)
• How to use decision-making daily for more time, confidence, and freedom (24:22)

Crossing paths with highly influential people can be quite nerve-racking. There's a wave of intimidation surrounding success and social status, even if you've only created a persona of the actual person in your head.

Besides nerves and intimidation, there's also a level of energy and excitement around influencers… but why? Is it the need to be seen? Or heard?

Or is it because we are entering a new era of women? An era where women are ready to act out of bravery, feel the power in their femininity and step outside the circles they run in for better things.

In this episode, GOOP's Elise Loehnen breaks down the intimidation factors surrounding people of power - and why embracing the experiences that terrify us most shapes a new era of 'wise woman' ready for the world.

Show highlights include:

• How to have heart-to-heart conversations with incredibly successful people (even if you have a projection of what they are like in your head) (2:52)
• Why being "seen" by celebrities isn't as fulfilling as you think - and the recent wave of influencers that have you embracing femininity and finding your power (10:04)
• What youth and beauty mean to a 'wise woman' in this era - and why learning from the past teaches you to live without regret or resentment today (15:01)
• How to bring a little bravery to your most stomach-twisting conversations and why being courageous opens the door to limitless opportunities right now (23:00)
• The 'one-liner' trick for striking an authentic conversation with the most intimidating and successful people (even if you don't know what to say next) (29:45)

And while it can feel like life is full of one-time actions, it's the habits formed daily that achieve happier days.

Many of us have a love-hate relationship with to-do lists. While some people live through having one, others cringe at the sight of it. And right when you check off a box on your list, it feels like three more things are added.

How can you find happiness and family time under the weight of an ever-growing list?

In this episode, you'll learn how to create much-needed breathing room on a never-ending to-do list, and why tackling your tasks doesn't happen all at once (but in small, victorious steps).

Show highlights include:

• Why adulting and to-do lists instantly give you 'summer nostalgia' and how to embrace life youthfully (even when there are a dozen things on your plate) (2:54)
• Why being a 'people pleaser' manipulates your list of things to do and the one-word trick for curating a shorter list instantly (9:43)
• How to ditch the poor planning and post-it notes for a stress-free, orderly to-do list (that has a place for everything and everything in its place) (10:53)
• How to accomplish tasks in a timely, confident manner (without sacrificing family time or mental freedom) (12:58)
• What the 'worry box' means for your list of things undone - and how to give yourself permission for a fresh start every day (15:29)

We all have a list of excuses, but what's the real reason you keep standing in your own way? And how do you stop stalling to let the adventure of life unfold?

No matter how much fear and discomfort a decision holds, pushing past your comfort zone to accomplish something far outweighs the rest.

In this episode, you'll learn how to overcome resistance and stop stalling for a more adventurous and fulfilling life - even if you can't see the big picture yet.

Show highlights include:

• How to silence your "what will people think" demon and make the moves that feel most authentic to you (3:30)
• What an 'empty plate' really looks like - and why creating space for the things you want starts today (5:40)

• How to get rid of the 'crystal ball' mentality and sit happily in your decisions (even if you're uncertain of what they hold) (11:33)

There's a wave of frustration you might feel when running an errand or grabbing groceries. These tasks sometimes seem impossible to do, no matter how easy they should theoretically be.

But dismissing how stuck you feel when it comes to the simple things doesn't make the frustrating feelings go away. And it certainly doesn't lighten the load you carry.

In this episode, you'll learn how to take the pressure out of doing everyday tasks when life feels chaotic and unmanageable.

Show highlights include:

• Why feeling like you "just can't handle anything" is similar to your gym workout (and how to build the muscle mass for doing more) (0:47)
• What to do when the 'element of surprise' ruins your day plans - and the two tools you need to readjust accordingly and rationally (2:38)
• How to stop feeling an unbearable amount of weight in your everyday tasks and start feeling more joy and relaxation in the moment (6:31)
• What to do when you've taken on too many responsibilities (and why trying to be the hero 24/7 only gets in your way) (10:46)

Feel like you're rushing through each day and always stuck in the middle of a flurry of activity? You're not alone. And with the constant need to get things done, you'll only bulldoze through the sweet and silly moments you crave in life.

It's not "more time" that you need, it's more presence. Being fully present is about finding joy with what's right in front of you - no matter what's on your to-do list.

In this episode, you'll learn how to slow down, even with a stressed-out schedule, and find the deep joy that comes with acknowledging what's happening right now.

Show highlights include:

• Why you aren't feeling heard in your everyday interactions and how to have the mindful conversations that matter (0:45)
• The two thoughts disrupting your family time, and how to find bliss and connection in each moment (5:02)
• What a zen environment really looks like, and why your perception of creating one for the 'present moment' feels impossible (9:01)
• The "mindful coffee" trick for protecting a peaceful space, getting more tasks done, and enjoying each moment as it arrives (14:36)

In this episode, you'll learn why taking time for yourself creates a more balanced life and how to move past the guilt of making time for what you love, instead of what you need.

Show highlights include:

• Why it feels impossible to make time for yourself and the '2021 reset' you need for a more balanced life (0:50)
