  • "How can I GROW THROUGH this ?"

    In this episode:

    Navigating an instant gratification driven society

    • Acknowledging that even the hard seasons have lessons
    • Taking inventory on how this stage is setting up future you
    • Realizing the process is necessary to appreciate what’s next

    Hey girl, I’m really happy you are here today for this episode because I think it’s a topic that is really going to hit home with you.

    We’re talking about savoring not just the season of life you’re in, but how taking that extra step to intentionally take inventory on how this time in your life or this stage in your life - even if it’s not going according to plan, even if it’s not rainbows butterflies & happy little unicorns - is actually setting you up for massive success & deep fulfillment later because of what you’re learning now, IF you look for it.

    I just know this is going to hit home & be so impactful for you, so don’t hesitate to tag me on Instagram & let me know what you think!      

     

    Quotes:

    “I’m not the type of woman who wishes away stages in her life. I’m not the type of woman who wishes away even a day of her life. Because life is short & unexpected & throws curveballs, and I am deeply committed to not just making the days count, but definitely making the seasons count.”

    “Truly I believe, to my core, if we want happiness & deep fulfillment & joy in our life, we just cannot keep wishing away stages, even the crappy parts of them, to get to the next stage because we miss out on the growth opportunity.”

    “I bet, if you look for it, there was a powerful lesson that you literally would not have learned if you did not go through that thing.”

  • 160: [PEP TALK] A reminder that YOU'VE GOT THIS!

    In this episode:

    • Giving yourself some grace throughout turmoil
    • Taking radical responsibility in your life
    • Navigating the uncertainty of the world
    • Remembering that progress is always better than perfection

    Girl, I am so happy you are here today.

    Because I wanted to do a short little episode that’s kind of like a hug, friend to friend. T

    ruly this dance that we’re trying to learn how to navigate right now between giving yourself grace & also taking radical responsibility for how you want to show up in the world is so delicate. This dance is always required for growth in general, whether it's goal driven or more personal, but right now, I feel it more than ever. 2020 so far has brought some major issues in our world that we are navigating in real time, and although we all are affected differently, it is affecting everyone.

    We’re not wired in our brains to navigate this much uncertainty & I want to acknowledge that, but also remind you that girl, you’ve got this. We’re in this together, forever. Talk to you soon girl.

     

    Quotes:

    “I want to remind you that you’re capable. So much more capable than you give yourself credit for. And I know you care about getting better… & sometimes you can be your own worst critic.”

    “You are absolutely guaranteed going to stumble, sometimes you’re going to fail. You’re gonna freakin faceplant & it’s gonna hurt. But you’re gonna get back up.”

    “You are worthy. You’re worthy of a life that you’re obsessed with.”

  • [INTERVIEW] REAL TALK on RACE & How to be a better ALLY w/ Simone McNish

    In this episode:

    • Uncovering unconscious bias & unpacking your privilege
    • Explaining performative action & how its not helping
    • Unlearning the things you’ve been taught that are harmful
    • Taking ownership of your own education & exposure

    Hey girl, I am SO happy that you’re here for today’s episode.

    It’s a different style that we’ve never had before, but SUCH an important topic.

    We have on Simone McNish, who is a wife, a mom, a super successful business coach, and she is with us today to talk about inclusion, white privilege & uncovering unconscious bias.

    This is a topic that I know is super important for all of us to get ourselves educated on, & full-transparency something I am learning in real time to get more comfortable talking about which you will definitely HEAR in today's interview.

    This conversation is honest, raw, & really open so please tag both of us with your feedback! Can't wait to hear what you think! 

    PUMP-UP JAM:

    • Formation by Beyonce

    Quotes:

    “What people don’t understand is that racism is systematic… what it means is that from birth, white people specifically have certain privileges that they are born with & the more that white people can accept this, the easier it becomes.”

    “We’re in a time right now where black America needs us. We’re in a time right now where black people need our support really more than anything.”

    “Listen to them. Listen to their experiences. Listen to what they have to say without getting defensive... without questioning.”

    “Anti-racism is all about fighting racism, it’s dismantling the system, it’s helping other people who don’t look like you who are starting off at a lower playing field.”

    “Messing up & listening, is so much better than not doing anything & being terrified of saying the wrong thing.”

  • Building TRUST & "Marble Jar" Friendships

    In this episode:

    • Tips for developing trust among those around you
    • Looping in people you care about to hold you accountable
    • Valuing reliability & integrity by following through
    • Authenticity & embodying what you value from others in yourself

    Girrrl! I am so excited that you are here today & I hope you are buckled up ready to rock, because we are diving into the juicy topic of TRUST.

    I’ve been thinking a lot about trust & environment. & not just the environment we have around us, but the PEOPLE that we surround ourselves with.

    We talk about this a lot, because we know that we often become a direct reflection of the expectations of our peer group, so it’s important that we have good people around us. People that help us level up, share common interests, that get us & also that we trust, so today we are talking about how to actually build trust with people & how to develop the trust others have in you.

    Can’t wait to hear what you think of this “marble jar friends” concept from Brene Brown & how it can SERVE you in your relationships! 

     

    Quotes:

    “When you trust people you’re going to risk putting yourself out there to them. Because you know that whatever they say back to you it’s going to weigh importance on you.”

    “When you think of ‘marble jar friends,’ or building trust in the way like putting marbles in a jar, how do you think that people earn marbles with you? And how do you believe that you earn marbles with other people?”

    “If you and I want to embody integrity, the integrity that we want to see in the world, then we have to commit to not talking about people behind their back & doing the right thing even when it’s not convenient.”

    “Keep trying to be the best you. It matters… You’re inspiring so many people with how you’re making your life a testimony of what type of person you can be & what type of life you can live.”

  • [HIS & HER PEP TALK] Navigating your "New Normal"

    In this episode:

    • Progress comes from pushing through the tough stuff

    • Embracing what your new normal will be

    • Doing the best you can, is always enough

    • Taking inventory & focusing on strong communication

    Hey girl! Please help me welcome back to the show, my fiance Seena! We’ve been getting great feedback from these little His & Her Pep Talk episodes, so we are here for another one! He is an enneagram 3 & I’m a 7, so our brains just think completely differently & we each bring such a different perspective to conversations. Very recently, I was feeling very overwhelmed & like I wasn’t sure if I could really handle everything that I had going on. So many exciting things, but I just was wondering if I was really capable. I texted Seena, and his response was what sparked this entire episode. We’re talking about this new normal we are currently in & learning to navigate through new seasons in life that we’ve never been through before. I really think you are going to jam with this conversation & we can’t wait to hear what you think girl!

     

    Quotes:

    “Anything that’s new is hard, because you’ve just never done it before for the first time… but that’s where progress comes from.” - Kacia

    “Leaving that comfort zone just feels scary & kind of messy, you don’t know what’s going on, but when you look back 6 months, you really appreciate how far along you’ve come.” - Seena

    “I’m not labeling this stress as something I can’t manage, I’m learning that this stress is the skills & the coping mechanisms & the tools & the perspective that I need to develop.” - Kacia

  • [PEP TALK] Let's CRANK up the JOY!

    In this episode:

    • Taking inventory on your own energy & using that to your advantage

    • Being proactive about planning your day to day activities

    • Focusing your to-FEEL list with your daily to-dos

    • Ensuring that your priorities are truly treated like priorities

    Hey girl, I am so excited that you’re here today because we are just doing a short little pep talk.

    And I am encouraging you to CRANK up the VOLUME on your JOY & your HAPPINESS! We’re talking about making your day more juicy, and fulfilling because it’s a day that you have that other people don’t. In society, being goofy & playing & doing things simply because they are fun is downplayed or deemed as less important, and I think that is total BS.

    I believe that this ‘hustle until your face falls off’ culture where ‘busy’ is worn like a badge of honor is going to have us burnt out with health issues, relationship struggles & lacking fulfillment & joy. We need a little remix on that narrative & I hope you leave today’s episode buckled up & ready to have some freaking FUN! Let’s do this girl!

     

    Quotes:

    “Making joy & enthusiasm & happiness & becoming a more positive person is literally going to help you find more solutions.”

    “There is so much research that has proven that happiness leads to success, much more than success leading to happiness.”

    “These mundane things that you have to get done, how can you make them more fun? What if you mapped out your to-do list & you thought about your to-FEEL list more, right?”

    “It’s up to us girl, to rewrite the narrative on the importance of joy & happiness and being positive people, and looking for opportunities to create days that make us excited!”

  • Who's Rules are YOU playing by?

    In this episode:

    • Letting go of other’s opinions & the expectations of society

    • Putting your own dreams & desires above others

    • Believing that your path is your own & no one else's

    • Building & sticking to your own achievement system

    Hey girl!!

    I am so excited you’re here today for this short & juicy episode that I think is going to be super powerful for you!

    We’re talking about who’s rules you’re playing by, what achievement system you’re tapping into and if all of that is even working for you.

    This idea came to me after our last weekly virtual Happy Hour with the members of our global personal development community, The Collective.

    One of our incredible members, Angelica, shared one of her own personal wins about how she came to the realization that her goals for building a side business didn’t have to be massive or the same as others who were building similar businesses.

    She knew where her passion was, with teaching, and she was proud of herself for admitting that she didn’t want the same thing that others did. I just know, there is NOTHING like that feeling of owning who you are, what your goals are, & realizing you don’t have to play by anybody else’s rules.

    I think you are so going to LOVE this one & I can’t wait to hear what you think girlfriend!   

     

    Quotes:

    “So often we don’t even realize, that we’re often playing this part to a script that was written for us that we didn’t even want to be part of, or we’re setting goals based off of other people’s achievement systems that we don’t even want.”

    “It helps you get this anxiety down, you don’t feel as anxious or frazzled about the speed at which you’re getting to your goals when you realize, direction is more important than speed.”

    “If you are letting someone else’s opinion, or society’s expectations, or your mentors goals for you, or your peers goals for you, dictate your goals & what you’re doing with your life, then is it really even your life?”

  • Cuz Girl...Easy ROBS you of PROUD!

    In this episode:

    • Celebrating along the way with mini goals

    • Building confidence every day through small wins

    • What you are learning now will serve you in the long-run

    • Thinking about how this stage can help you later

    This one is a saucy little episode that I think will light a fire under your butt & give you some more tools in your toolbox that will be really powerful, so I am so happy you are here!

    I wanted to share with you this question that I ask myself basically daily that is super simple but super powerful: how is what you’re doing today going to help you later by getting you closer to that bigger vision or goal of what you want?

    I love this question because it may sound like common sense, but it’s not common practice!

    If everyone asked themselves that question so many more of us would feel focused & not as stressed out or doubting ourselves & wanting to throw in the towel on our dreams.

    I honestly believe that if you become a NINJA at asking yourself this question in real time, it will be so valuable for you & really any goals or vision or even skills you are working on in your life.

    So, let’s dive right in girl! I can’t wait to hear what you think! 

     

    Quotes:

    “If it came super easily, we would miss out so much wouldn’t we?”

    “Everything that’s happening in my life, or in my business, I can find a reason for how it’s serving me right now to be the type of human that I want to be later or to have the type of goals accomplished.”

    “You literally have to have a setback, to have a comeback where you can build that resiliency. You gotta fall down so you can get back up.” 

    “At the end of the day, when it feels a little bit harder in life or it just feels like you’re juggling a lot & you’re frustrated.. That means, you’re leveling up.”

  • [Pep Talk] You're Wildly Capable; This I know for Sure.

    In this episode:

    • Getting comfortable with uncertainty

    • Embracing the power of not giving up & figuring it out

    • Freeing yourself from the unknown alternative

    • Throwing out societal expectations & choosing better thoughts

    Hey girl, I am so excited you’re here for today’s episode because the topic is REAL & it’s RAW & it’s HONEST. And you KNOW, I am all about tangible tools & tactical advice that you can implement TODAY to make positive changes & build a life you’re obsessed with. But, it’s also SO important to me that you feel how I feel, that we’re girlfriends just chatting over your drink of choice, so I wanted to loop you in on a personal story, because I’m a human like you. There are a lot of people out there who seem like they are a million miles ahead, but I wanna keep it real with you because we are going through this together. Today I’m talking all about a recent time I stopped my workout after 12 minutes & then spent an hour by myself walking in downtown San Diego crying & asking myself crappy questions. Because even though I know better, we all fall sometimes. The key is to learn how to get back up faster, right? I hope you really vibe with this episode & take away something from these things I know for CERTAIN. Can’t wait to hear what you think girl!

    Quotes:

    “Sometimes, I think we have to fall down because there is something really important that we’re supposed to find or learn before we get back up.”

    “I do not believe that you were gifted a vision for your life or this feeling in your gut to do something in a particular way or a particular order that is not yours to have.”

    “Easy robs me of proud. And I know, proud makes me feel fulfilled. And I don’t want to just accomplish all the goals, I want to feel fulfilled in the process.”

    “Humility is a form of acceptance. The acceptance that we can’t know it all, right? We can never know it all.”

  • Your Beliefs: Should you Keep, Exchange or Return?
    Episode 152: Keep, Exchange, or Return

    In this episode:

    • Reprogramming your brain to think better thoughts

    • Choosing to retire beliefs that no longer serve you

    • Taking responsibility for rewriting our own narratives 

    Hey girl! I’m so excited that you are here for today’s episode because I think you’re really going to vibe with this concept.

    We are talking about beliefs and the programming that we have basically from birth, and the thoughts that we’re thinking & if they’re actually serving us.

    I was listening to an incredible book called Untamed by Glenon Doyle, and she was talking about this concept that I thought was so powerful, that we always have three options with the belief sets that we currently have.

    We can either keep them, return them, or exchange them. I thought it was just so juicy & I had to share it with you! 

    I can’t wait to hear what you think!!

     

    Quotes:

    “You get the choice… you can reprogram your brain. You can return that belief and you’re like, ‘Nope! Gotta go, this ones not working for me.’”

    “If they’re not serving you, or getting you closer to a life that you love, they gotta go! We don’t have time for it. It’s not always gonna be easy, but as you start to identify them you can knock them out, one by one.”

    “The conscious you become of your own thoughts & beliefs, that more that you can naturally go into these three buckets in your brain & start to craft this identity that you love!”
