Built to be You episodes

  • Personal capacity, smelly garbage cans + self awareness

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode, I dive deep into the concept of understanding personal capacity. I reflect on the importance of knowing our limits and finding the sweet spot where we feel the most aligned version of ourselves. I share my own experience of reaching my breaking point and the impact it had on my life and relationships. I emphasize the need to prioritize self-care and make choices that align with our true capacity, even if it means saying no to certain obligations or conversations. By honoring our capacity, we can show up as our best selves and make a more powerful impact on the world around us.

    Additionally, I announce the launch of the Built to Be You off social media community, where listeners can connect with each other and participate in monthly challenges and community events. I invite listeners to join this space and explore their own capacity in a supportive and empowering environment. I also encourage listeners to take a moment to assess their current external environment and listen to what their body is telling them. By being aware of our capacity and making intentional choices, we can create more space for what truly matters and live a more aligned and fulfilling life.

    Are you feeling discouraged because you can't see the full picture of your dreams? Well, get ready for a motivational and inspirational pep talk that will remind you to focus on the NEXT best step.

Remember, it's not about the destination, but the journey itself. So, let go of the fear of being too late or too far behind and start embracing the present moment. Your dreams are waiting for you to take that first step, and I'll be here cheering you on every step of the way, always! 


    00:00:21: Remind yourself that you're not too far behind and your dreams have not expired.
    00:02:38: Take the next best step, even if you don't see the full picture.
    00:04:15: Surrender, trust the process, and be present in figuring it out along the way.
    00:08:06: Take up space and know that there is a place for you in this world.
    00:09:06: Create time and space to dream and reflect on what's important to you.
    00:11:16: Give your dreams a place to simmer and nurture them over time.

  • Your DREAMS won't THRIVE in comfort zones

    Send us Fan Mail

    Today we are chatting about stepping OUTSIDE of your comfort zone and the transformation that can come from it.  I share my own experience of setting a time goal for the Houston Marathon and pushing myself to run at a faster pace than I ever have before. I discuss how discomfort does not mean incapability and I challenge YOU  to lean into discomfort and ask yourself- how you can grow and learn from it. As always, we talk about the importance of intentionally putting yourself in uncomfortable situations to expand your comfort zone and achieve your big dreams. 

    I challenge YOU to do something this weekend that challenges your current comfort zone and share it with me over on  the gram. Remember, discomfort is a sign of growth, and it's okay to be uncomfortable as long as you find a way to keep moving forward.

    Throughout the episode, I encourage YOU to reflect on your own journeys and ask yourself- how can I go first and show up as my future self?

     I emphasize here, the power of sharing our stories and normalizing feelings of isolation and loneliness that comes with that next level growth.
