  • 210: How to Navigate the Puzzle Pieces of LIFE

     

    In a recent Instagram post, I shared how life was a lot like buying something from IKEA. You ask for something and you receive it, but it’s nothing like you expected. It comes in pieces, there are no directions and oh, your dog ate the instructions. So now you have to figure out how to make something out of this mess. It’s time to get resourceful.

     

    Life is much the same. Every day you’re thrown a new obstacle – whether it’s relationships, love or business – that you must navigate through. You build the skills as you go – and more than likely crash and burn a couple of times – but you learn what works and what doesn’t. These challenges aren’t obstacles, they’re lessons and it’s our job to figure out what they are.

     

    I’m right in the middle of a huge “IKEA delivery.” So many pieces, with zero direction and I don’t know which end is up. Can you relate? I’ve once again had to allow myself to be a beginner and create a new process as I go. It’s rocky, but I’ve learned that I can let myself to kick, scream and cry so long as I’m putting in the time and work. There’s a TON of lessons being learned and I know I will use them moving forward.

     

    “Obstacles are here to serve me, not break me down.”

    In This Episode You Will Learn:

     

    • Why we must choose adversity before it chooses us
    • How life delivers you exactly what you’re asking for
    • Why we need to find the lessons among the obstacles

  • 209: How Radical Truth Telling Solves Everything with Lauren Zander

    Oh my goodness, today’s episode with life coach and author, Lauren Zander, rocked my world! I had so many self-realizations during our conversation, I had to remind myself that it wasn’t a coaching session for me!

     

    With a degree in environmental studies, Lauren took a job in the field right after college. But as time went on she realized that while she loved the cause, she was unhappy with the actual work. From there, she pivoted into the only self-help company she knew of and worked there for seven years until she ran out “screaming” and started her own personal coaching business.

     

    Fast-forward to today and Lauren’s coaching company, The Handel Group, runs four different divisions dedicated to helping individuals and businesses alike create cultures that promote happiness and allow everyone to excel. Almost nothing is off limits when her and her teams deep-dive into their clients’ worlds to figure out what the problems are and what needs to change or be fixed.

     

    I have a feeling that you’re going to run out and grab Lauren’s book or her coaching programs because I know it made me want to! She promotes the truth and she speaks nothing but – and it’s just so refreshing. Enjoy!

    Question Highlights:

    • Where do shifts begin for people?
    • How do you get a smaller culture not to be afraid to share how they feel?
    • What’s something we can do to shift into a powerful mindset?
    • What are some of your favorite ways to connect people?
    • What are you most excited about with your book, Maybe It’s You?
    • Have you been in front of an issue that you felt was so big you didn’t want to begin?
    • How do we know when it’s time for a person to not be in our lives?
    • What recharges you?
    • Is there anything in your life that feels like it needs completion?
    • Is there something you need to release and care less about in order to care more about where you’re going?
    • What inspires you?
    • Do you have favorite books?

     

    In This Episode We Talk about:

    • Lauren’s transition from environmental studies to self-help and coaching
    • The many different modalities of Lauren’s company, the Handel Group
    • How to help people feel more comfortable in smaller groups
    • When leaders don’t lead

    • Why telling the truth is the easiest and best thing to do
    • The things you tolerate in people and what keeps them around in your life
    • The promises Lauren keeps with her co-workers
    • And so much more…

    “Self-discovery is actually the way to make a lot more money and be happy.”

     

    “Anyone can change a culture.”

     

    “Anyone can wake up and decide to be a leader.”

     

    “Truth-telling is not that complicated.”

  • 208: The Real Life Cycle - FEEL, REFRAME, REPEAT

    Last week, I had the privilege of traveling to Guatemala as part of Pencils of Promise, an organization that’s committed to building sustainable schools. And wow, what a life-shifting and world-changing trip. I thought I was already rooted in gratitude, but this trip really grounded me and made me even more grateful for everything.

     

    Pure transparency, this trip didn’t come at an ideal time with my crazy schedule. But it actually turned out to be THE perfect time for me to get a major (and much-needed) perspective shift and reframe.

     

    Upon returning, I found myself grateful for the sidewalk, clean water, my bed, but especially my cup of coffee – you name it! In the village where we stayed, they literally grow their own coffee beans, pick them, roast them and then brew their cup. This particular village has only had electricity for five years and most have homes with dirt floors. How often do we all tend to take these things for granted? Some of the things we worry about are so small when you look at other parts of the world. My advice:

     

    “Choose what you’re going to hold tight near and dear to your heart. And choose what you’re going to let go of.”

     

    There is so much that doesn’t matter. Choose to focus on the people you love and get more love out into the world. Focus on giving back, spreading your message and doing what you love so you can make YOUR impact on the world.

    In This Episode You Will Learn:

     

    • Why it’s so powerful to find beauty in the simple things
    • Why we must share our message with love
    • How perspective and gratitude change everything

  • 207: Move into an Abundant Mindset for Maximum Growth with Dynamic Duo Eric & Chris Martinez

    I’m so happy to have fitness experts and coaches, Chris and Eric Martinez (Dynamic Duo), on the show today! After dealing with the tragic loss of their father at the young age of 17, both were left with a lot of anger when dealing with that pain. After some missteps along the way (we all have them), they made the decision to stop stewing in their pain and pursue their passion. After stumbling on and becoming inspired by a magazine article, they took action to get coached and followed up by earning their certifications and creating Dynamic Duo Training.

     

    Now they’re teaching all their clients how to make massive shifts in their mindsets to promote growth and abundance while working on the physical as well.

  • 206: THREE Questions That Can SHIFT Your Life!

    As I’ve shared in recent episodes, my plate is currently full ­­– the fullest it’s ever been with the most beautiful, epic things. But here’s the flip side, I still get anxiety around it all and feel overwhelmed. With that in mind, it’s imperative that I find the peace in between the moments of chaos.

     

    Thankfully my husband shared three life-shifting questions from Tim Ferriss with me to help shift my perspective when I feel chaos creeping in. I cannot believe what a game-changer they’ve been in the past week. These questions are to be asked whenever you’re presented with a task that you’re either dreading, nervous about or just plain unsure of how you feel about it. Are you ready? The three questions are:

     

    1. What would this look like if it were fun?
    2. What would this look like if it were easy?
    3. What would this look like if it were graceful?

     

    These are the questions asked by those who want to live an epic life. Just the other day, these questions helped me show up for a call as my authentic self. I didn’t pretend to be someone I wasn’t. I approached it with zero expectations and made an authentic connection and the call ended with a surprising (incredible!) outcome. When you incorporate these questions into your life, you’re also inviting in more ease, forgiveness and power to let go of the things that aren’t serving you.

     

    Feel like giving it a whirl? Try asking these questions for a day and let me know how it works for you by sharing under my post. It’s so exciting to share the tools I’ve used and I love to hear how they’re helping you, too!

    In This Episode You Will Learn:

     

    • The three questions that can help you live an epic life
    • Why it’s important to make and have authentic connections
    • What it means to find sustainability

  • 205: How Science Can Help You Learn to Eat Intuitively with Kelly Leveque

     

    My guest, health nutritionist and author, Kelly LeVeque and I have been circling each other for quite a while, which makes me so ecstatic that we were finally able to connect. With an early interest in health (it was her favorite class in high school), she went to college and after worked eight years in the cancer and genetics field. During this time, however, Kelly still felt pulled to help others with their nutrition and did so as she was able. It wasn’t until a friend finally told her “enough already,” that she went back to college for nutritional coaching and has been seeing clients full time since 2015.

     

    Kelly truly loves the science behind nutrition and uses the power of it to motivate her clients and elevate their nutrition choices. She admits that she doesn’t believe in eliminating food groups, but does stress the importance of finding the right balance for YOUR body (hint blood sugar plays a big role). We talk about several aspects of this philosophy and you can find even more of them in her new book, Body Love. I related with so much of this conversation and suspect that you will too, so be prepared for your brain to grow a little.  

     

    --   

     

    Question Highlights:

    • Is there any exercise you do to help yourself get really clear on what you need?
    • When a client has the same issue repeatedly is there something you always look at or are there multiple tests?
    • For people who are stuck, where do you begin?
    • How do you balance the points between sticking to it and sabotage?
    • What are some of the main side effects that you see?
    • Have you ever been addicted to caffeine?
    • What is the biggest myth you’ve run into when looking at intake forms?
    • Do you ever see where you can find joy in experiences versus food?
    • What do you do when you’re seeking comfort?
    • What have you learned about yourself because of eating cleaner?

     

    In This Episode We Talk about:

    • Bio-individuality and Kelly’s pillars of nutritional needs
    • Learning to love yourself at your fit weight
    • Intuitive eating
    • How Kelly uses science to motivate clients
    • The importance and effects of insulin and cortisol
    • Side effects of different foods
    • How science can set you free with your diet
    • Avoiding the drastic “pendulum swings” and finding balance
    • Setting attainable goals
    • What Kelly does to decompress
    • Making healthier replacement comfort foods
    • Taking charge of your health and understanding it
    • How a glucometer works
    • And so much more…

     

    Quotes:

     

    “You have to be willing to change.”

     

    “If you’re balanced and satisfied, you know what you can and can’t do.”

     

    “Little changes become habits.”

     

    “Make it a choice, not a cheat.”

     

    “Blood sugar is an indicator of what’s to come.”

  • 204: Why GROWTH Doesn't Always FEEL GOOD

    Growth doesn’t feel good all the time. I’ve mentioned this before, but over the past couple months it’s been proven even more as I’ve noticed that my career and life are at totally new and different levels. Don’t get me wrong, this all feels amazing…but it’s ALL new things and quite honestly, it’s a bit overwhelming and scary. There is so much that I don’t know about where I’m at and I’ve come to the realization that I need to be OK with that.

     

    “Allow yourself to be where you’re at. Allow yourself to be a beginner.”

     

    This mucky, but glorious spot means more growth is on the horizon. Nothing is ever as it seems and there is always a period of adjustment. Welcome it and enjoy the ride. All those moments that feel awkward and clunky as hell? Embrace them.

     

    “Find the lesson in the resistance.”

     

    Sure, we could stay at the same level year after year, but deep down your spirit doesn’t want that. It craves growth and your life has unlimited levels to achieve. I mean could you imagine staying at the exact same level for the rest of your life? Me neither.

     

    Don’t forget, this isn’t a race. Even if it feels like you’re not moving, or you feel too busy or things are coming and going in your life – be grateful for all of it. Everything is happening for you and you will not miss what was meant for you. Every moment has a purpose, whether it’s to clear space, slow you down or take you to the next level.

     

    Root yourself in the present moment, shift your perspective and find the lesson in it. Believe that everything that is for you will find its way to you – and it will.

    In This Episode You Will Learn:

  • 203: How to Make the Adjustments to STAY ALIGNED with YOUR GREATER VISION with Regan Hillyer

    I’ve been so eager to connect with today’s guest, entrepreneur, world-traveler and speaker, Regan Hillyer, ever since we briefly chatted at an event a few months ago. And I’m thrilled that dreams come true!

     

    Originally from New Zealand, Regan started out on the path to become an architect, but after a fateful visualization exercise, the idea of becoming an architect left her feeling sick to her stomach, and she knew at her core it wasn’t her truth.

     

    After sharing this realization with her father, she was crystal clear on what she didn’t want, but had no clue what was on the other side of that. That’s when she threw herself into personal development. The powerful shifts came a couple years into this journey, so much so that people started asking her how she did it and she got her first experience as a “coach.”

     

    Since that time, Regan has helped thousands of other men and women in their self-development journeys find their truths, too. Whether it’s financial or personal, she coaches others to be true to who they are and help them build six- and seven-figure businesses in the process.

     

    I could have talked on and on and with Regan – I was soaking it all up! She offers so much knowledge and even talks about her different rituals that help her stay aligned with her goals and mission. If you’re looking to gain more clarity around your goals, this episode is a great kickstart! Enjoy!

     

    --   

     

    Question Highlights:

    • What first step would you suggest to a person who feels stuck?
    • What is something you do right now to give yourself space and time?
    • In regard to self-trust, what does it feel like and how do you know it’s time to leap?
    • Can you explain what personal abundance is to you?
    • What are some things you had to call into your life when you became financially abundant?
    • What is something you want to make sure you’ve accomplished by the end of your life?
    • What is something you’re working through or something that is scaring you right now?
    • What makes you feel most like you?
    • Do you have any rituals around speaking that help you step in?
    • What’s the best process for putting yourself out there in the beginning?
    • What did it look like when you had to start setting boundaries – both in business and relationships?
    • What are some great goal-setting tips for the New Year?
    • What’s a message you want all people to know?

     

    In This Episode We Talk about:

    • How Regan got into self-development and made a successful career out of it
    • Tuning in and listening to your feelings and trusting your gut if something feels wrong
    • The need for evolution and making ongoing adjustments to stay aligned with your larger vision and truth
    • Why personal and financial abundance require both external and internal work
    • The internal things Regan does to manifest financial abundance
    • The need for both a pain and pleasure motivator when working to achieve your goals
    • Regan’s rituals that help her get into speaking mode
    • The importance of choosing to be yourself in all situations and be YOU.
    • Staying completely connected and in faith through the entire day
    • The benefits of having mentors and coaches
    • Borrowing belief until you find your own
    • And so much more…

     

    Quotes:

     

    “Your gut always knows.”

     

    “You don’t get in life what you do; you get in life who you are and who you choose to be.”

     

    “You can’t manifest the next level of where you’re going from a place of frustration, negativity or criticism.”

                                                           

    “People manifest what they tolerate.”

     

    “Listen to your truth, follow your gut and connect from that place.”

  • 202: FAITH Means Trusting THIS...

     

    This past weekend, I attended an event for the network marking company I’m affiliated with it and it was incredible! Every year around this time I always reflect and am so grateful for the relationships it has brought into my life. I honestly never thought I would be part of this type of company (it took a long time and ton of fear), but despite the nay-sayers and my own initial reservations, I haven’t regretted it for a second.

     

    So if you’re feeling fear around something and/or a pull on your soul, go for it and ignore all the background noise within and outside – I’m living proof. Trust me, after creating a podcast, network marketing and writing a book, I’ve come to trust my soul to guide me in the right direction. But in order to do so, I have to consistently keep chipping away day by day at my goals.

     

    “Consistency trumps everything.”

     

    If you keep showing up and learning, you will go exactly where the message on your soul means for you to go. And this often times means ignoring the protective voices in your head and of others. Ditch the stories that swirl around in your head and choose the thoughts that align with your message. And yes, we ALL have a message (that means you!).

     

    “If you have a pulse, you have a message.”

     

    Your message is as unique as you are, so if you haven’t pinned down exactly what it is, don’t worry, you just need to listen more closely and give it a bit more time. Even if you think that pull is something far too simple… stop and listen. Does it bring you fulfillment or happiness? Ding, ding – you’ve got a winner, and now you must protect it.

     

    Full honesty? It takes a ton of bravery to create boundaries and protect your goals and message. After all, your goals are linked to your happiness. But let’s not forget faith. It is imperative that you have faith throughout the winding process of life.

     

    “Faith is trusting that you’re forgiven in the face of no closure.”

     

    What do I mean by this? Lately, I’ve had to say no to a lot of people who I’ve wanted to say yes to. I’m a people pleaser (old habits die hard), but I work on it every day. Sometimes when I say no or have to leave a conversation abruptly, I feel such guilt and fear that someone will be upset with me. The reality though is that they likely didn’t even notice. And if they did, they either understand or will forget it in a matter of minutes.

     

    “Create boundaries around the things that are leaking your energy.”

     

    Stop leaking your energy by carrying guilt for something that doesn’t exist! Give yourself the gift of closure – forgive and move on. I’m not saying that you won’t have your challenges along the way, but preserve your energy to fulfill your goals/message.

     

    “Big, bold steps take energy and bravery.”
