Show Notes:

Where are you playing small in your life right now? Where are you stuck in a loop that is holding you back? This episode was inspired by the realization that I was feeling unmotivated, most likely because I was playing small. Taking risks is part of life, and the more you make decisions, ask better questions, and take healthy risks the more you’ll move forward rather than feeling stuck. I’m sharing some questions I’ve been asking myself recently to be more aware of where I need to take healthy risk, and where it’s paid off for me in the past! I’d love to hear if you’ve had that similar feeling of needing motivation, and where you are going to start taking risks.

01:30 Are you playing small?

04:15 Where are you in a loop, repeating the same patterns?

05:40 What is the consequence of NOT taking the risk?

09:00 Lessons from taking healthy risks.

11:30 How to decide whether to take a risk or not.

15:00 Where are you playing small right now, and WHY?

17:15 Questions to ask yourself to weigh risk vs benefits.

What causes codependency? How can we become self aware and let go of it? We’re diving into this with therapist Bianca Grace!

Show Notes:

Being empathetic and being able to read other peoples energy can be a superpower! On the other hand, it can be all too easy to absorb the energy and beliefs of others around us. Especially when we were kids growing up. I’m sharing some things I’ve absorbed and adopted from others around me from things I heard my mom say growing up, to overhearing conversations in a coffee shop that changed my mood. As I’ve become more aware of my own energy, and questioned what I actually think, I’ve been able to move forward only taking the things that serve me.  

03:40 What is projection?

07:15 Adopting things from my mom that I’ve realized aren’t my own.

11:00 What energy or thoughts have you absorbed aren’t your own?

12:40 What is something someone else has said about you that stuck?

15:00 How to check in on your energy and how people around you are affecting it.

In this episode, we talk about:

Show Notes:

Do you have a way you look back and measure how you’ve performed on your goals? My husband and I have refined our process each year for how we do our new year planning and goal setting. Part of that is reflecting on our goals from the previous year, and giving ourselves a letter grade for how we did in each  major area of our life that we set goals. Since success (and lack thereof) leaves clues, we learned so much from the areas we had solid plans and worked together on vs goals we left more up to chance. I’m excited to share what this process looks like for us, and how we’re using what we’ve learned to set ourselves up for success in 2023!

01:30 How we decided on our word for 2023.

04:20 How we grade ourselves on our goals for the year.

07:30 What I’ve learned from revisiting how we performed on our goals.

10:30 Do you have a goal around your faith this year?

12:15 Who do you have in your corner to stay accountable towards your goals?

15:40 What is your attitude towards your goals?

19:20 Have you reflected on the goals you set in 2022?

Trigger Warning: Pregnancy Loss 

Cocoon season is an opportunity to grow and evolve, but how do you actually have your break free moment to move towards what’s next?

How do you actually break free from cocoon season? I can’t think of a better guest to explore that process than today’s guest. Jess DeRose is a teacher turned 7-figure business owner, Founder of Digital Business Evolution, has created 8 millionaires through her teaching and programs, and my dear friend.

She has accomplished so much in business, and what I love about her is how she is always on her own journey of growth and evolution. In this episode, Jess shares not one, but two cocoon seasons she has navigated recently and what ultimately triggered her own break free moments into her current butterfly season.

Jess openly shares her most recent cocoon season of dissociation and a traumatic pregnancy loss that, within navigating grief, has brought so much clarity. This is an episode about loss, healing, and breaking free from old ways of thinking to thrive in butterfly season.

What if I told you there was a way to navigate cocoon seasons in a way that didn’t feel like a total mess? In this episode, I’m joined by my bestie who was there to help me out of my cocoon season, Lindsey Schwartz! Those cocoon seasons where you’re going deep, and processing, and growing…sure, is going to be uncomfortable.
