  • 39 - How Your First Three Years Shape Your Adult Life
    Ever wondered how much your first three years on this planet shaped the person you are today? In this episode, we peel back the layers of early childhood development to reveal its powerful influence on our adult lives. We explore the bonds, boundaries, and trust-building exercises of infancy that have subtly sculpted our personalities and perspectives. From personal revelations to professional advice, this conversation offers insights into self-awareness, healing, and the steps towards positive transformation. My hope is that this message acts as a reminder of the importance to taking the time to get to know ourselves at a deeper level so we can understand our inner needs and wiring so intimately that we can then embrace our authentic selves and create fulfillment in ways we've been creating all along.

  • 33 - Regain Control of Your Schedule as an Entrepreneur
    As entrepreneurs, we bear the weight of our dreams, constantly striving to mold them into reality. But to do this, we must first learn to mold time, to shape it in a way that serves our ambitions, fuels our passions, and cherishes our well-being. Easier said than done when we get pulled into a hundred different directions each day, right?
     
    Well I'm here to tell you, it doesn't have to be that way. We can actually be more productive in the time allotted AND have our time in the evenings too. Often, what pulls us is a simple matter of a fundamental step being skipped with those we work with - whether clients or team members. The frustrations that naturally occur when our schedules and time aren't respected can be avoided more times than not.
     
    In today's episode I'm going to walk you through a key strategy to help you avoid this and turn it into a win-win for everyone so you can ultimately regain control of your schedule and reclaim your time.
