  • Feeling OVERWHELMED?! Play this for some QUICK TIPS!

    In this episode:

    • Managing overwhelm in real time

    • Proactively preventing overwhelm in the future

    • Building confidence by getting important things done

    • Time blocking, scheduling catch-up time & outsourcing

     I’m so happy you are here today because we are loading that toolbox of yours up with tools to navigate this crazy season of life!

    Yes, it’s the season to be ‘jolly,’ but it’s also the season where we often get a little overwhelmed, or stressed, or we have to navigate interesting dynamics.

    Let’s first set the stage, when I say overwhelm I’m referring to when your brain is just so full you kind of feel like a computer with 800 million tabs open & like you’re going to actually explode.

    It’s not only uncomfortable, but it’s not healthy to stay in that state for very long because it can lead to anxiety, a real ugly cry, or getting angry at someone that maybe doesn’t deserve it, but it could also lead to you throwing in the towel on your dreams because you don’t feel capable.

    So today I am going to breakdown my go-to tips for managing the overwhelm in real time and also a few tips for proactively preventing overwhelm in the future.

    I think this can be really powerful & hope it really resonates with you! & of course I can’t wait to hear what you think, so don’t hesitate to tag me on Instagram & let me know! 

     

    Quotes:

    “So often, we spend so much of our brain capacity worrying about all of these things that are likely not even gonna happen or they’re not relevant right now.”

    “Is there something that you are spending your time doing that doesn’t actually require you to be the one doing it that could give you more time & bandwidth to focus on the things that could only be done by you?”

    “Smart people ask for help because they know they can’t show up as their best selves if they’re burnt out.”

  • Life throws CURVEBALLS.. Are you going to get back UP?

    In this episode:

    • Tips for building your RESILIENCE muscle 
    • Navigating the uncomfortable & scary feelings associated with growth 
    • Changing our perspective on failure or setbacks 

    Girl I’m so excited you’re here today because we are talking about how IMPORTANT it is that we CHOOSE hard in life & how freaking CRUCIAL it is that we PROACTIVELY build up that MUSCLE of RESILIENCE. 

    I want to help us get to the point that WHEN WE get down or feel LOW…. it actually feels SO FREAKING WEIRD to stay down because we are SO used to getting back up. 

    Because life WILL throw curveballs and being MORE resilient makes it easier to navigate and ALSO gives us an opportunity to FEEL PROUD & build CONFIDENCE RIGHT? 

    & ALSO today we are going to dive into why it's NECESSARY for us to DO things outside of our comfort zone if we want to get BETTER at ANYTHING but also how NORMAL it is to be SCARED or feel UNCOMFORTABLE when we are growing.

    I think this will be JUICY & I really hope it’s impactful for you! 

    Please don’t hesitate to shout out your takeaways on Instagram & share with your friends! XOXO 

     

    Quotes:

    “Your FUTURE self needs the opportunity of you CHOOSING to do hard things to feel PROUD because once you’ve done something hard you’ve proven you CAN do hard things and that’s going to help you navigate it in the future with more confidence” 

    "OF COURSE we are going to be SCARED doing something NEW. OF COURSE it’s not going to FEEL GOOD to grow. But isn’t that a GOOD FEELING? To know that you CARE and you are EMOTIONAL because it MATTERS to YOU?"

    “The difference between SUCCESSFUL people CRUSHING GOALS and people who maybe AREN’T seeing the success they want right now is HOW LONG THEY let themselves STAY DOWN. Your rebound time MATTERS"

    • Changing the BS stories you say about yourself

    Yay! Girl I’m so excited you’re here today because we are talking about a topic that can sometimes be a little “fluffy” or light, but you probably know by now that’s not really my style.

    I really want to be like your saucy girlfriend with some real talk tangible things that you can actually implement, so we are talking about self-love but with a bit of a different take.

    Quotes:

    “If you decide that it’s your responsibility to model behavior that will influence her then it looks like you have to make yourself a priority… it matters that you show up because she is counting on you.”

    “While none of us will ever be perfect, we can’t strive for perfection, we can all get better.”

    “Whatever you look for, you will find. In a person and in yourself.”

    “Girl we need you, not to be perfect, but to be you. And to commit to just being on this journey, which sometimes is a roller coaster, but we’re girlfriends. We’re in this together.”

  • Finding JOY even when it's CRAPPY

    In this episode:

    • Constantly striving to be more self-aware

    • Feeling all the feels without dismissing them

    • Figuring out what you actually need for personal growth

    • Looking at your joy as a gift

    Hey girl, I am SO excited that you are here because I think this topic is going to be so powerful if you are in a season of your life where you are struggling at all or even if you just know someone who is.

    Or maybe, you just want to get proactive about putting more tools in your toolbox for when life does throw you a curveball that you can feel more equipped to navigate it.

    I shared a couple episodes back about how I had just lost a friend of mine, Brittany, to cancer after Thanksgiving & wanted to spread her mission of living life on purpose.

    What I didn’t share, was some of the different emotions I experienced after such a tough loss & today I wanted to break down a few tangible tips that helped me continue to find & experience JOY during a really crappy time.

    I hope this is helpful for you & I hope you will pass it along to anyone else you think might benefit from it!

    Can’t wait to hear what you think girl!

     

    Quotes:

    “I knew that I had to allow myself to feel all of the feels and not dismiss any of them as right or wrong, including the positive feelings.”

    “Being more self aware of what I need to feel like a full complete happy person what extremely helpful & it’s something that you can do proactively.”

    “Personal growth and navigating your own mindset like thinking about your thoughts & how you want to approach life.. Is everything, perspective is everything.”

    “Becoming more self aware is the biggest gift that we can give ourselves & the world.”

  • Take OWNERSHIP of your thoughts & let's freaking GOOOO!

    In this episode:

    • Catching your thoughts & changing them

    • Being responsible for your second thoughts

    • Intentionally focusing on the questions we ask

    • Breaking the habit of hesitating in thought

    Ok girl, I am just so excited you are with me today to dive into this topic! I came up with this concept because I have seen a lot of talented people bury their potential under excuses, and I am OVER IT!

    I’m also seeing so many amazing women countdown the days until Friday every single week while pretending that the joy you can have in the other days don’t matter as much.

    I think of us like girlfriends, and I am on a mission to make sure that you LOVE your freaking life & we do not have time for that!

    So, in today’s episode I wanted to leave you with just one major takeaway that's a common topic discussed in Psychology about how you don't have to be responsible for your FIRST thought, but you’ve got to take ownership of your SECOND thought.T

    hat’s it, that’s what we’re talking about today & diving into it on a MICRO & MACRO level---I just know you are going to vibe with it! So let’s freaking go girl!

     

    Quotes:

    “You’re not responsible for your first thought, but you damn well better be responsible for your second thought & take ownership on that.”

    “Often, we’re hard on ourselves because we’re not catching our first thought, so then we’re letting it spiral down… it has the ability to, on a larger scale, hold us back from chasing our big dreams.” 

    “That woman who’s achieving that thing that you want to achieve, that’s doing that thing that you wanna do or just that you deem she does it better than you right now. The only difference is that she thinks differently than you.”

    “Stop fearing failure but instead start fearing not living up to your damn potential.”

  • Committing to LIVING LIFE on PURPOSE!

    In this episode:

    • Living life in a more purposeful way

    • Avoiding those “shoulda woulda couldas”

    • Scheduling your actual priorities first 

    • Calling your shot & really owning it

    I’m so glad you are here today, because this episode is going to be so impactful

    & it’s a really important message I want to share that I truly hope you can help me spread.

    I’m coming at you recording this episode after losing a really incredible friend of mine, Brittany Crosby, to stage 3 ovarian cancer.

    This loss has been devastating & while I am glad that not only is she no longer in pain, I’m also so glad & inspired that while she was here she made it count, every single day.

    In all honesty, in her 30 years she lived more, loved more & just showed up more than most people do in an entire lifetime. The legacy that she left in me is one that will be ingrained in me always, and I wanted to share that with you which is to LIVE LIFE ON PURPOSE.

    It’s about doing things not just to get them done, but because the experience of doing it was the magic.

    I hope this message resonates with you & I really hope you will help me spread this episode with the people in your life so we can all honor Brittany by living our lives with purpose.  

    Quotes:

    “You don’t wanna go through your life with all these massive to-dos where your priorities become an afterthought.”

    “Ask yourself, what actually matters to me and am I showing up for what matters to me most?”

    “How often are we consuming content more than we’re showing up to life & what’s happening around us? Because when we look up from our damn phones, the people that are in front of us might not be there anymore.”

    “The society that we live in is constantly telling us that we need to be on.. It’s so much chaos. But we need to be where we are, where our feet are.” 

    “There’s never gonna be perfect, but there is always today. Right here, right now.”

  • Family Dynamics: Releasing EXPECTATIONS & changing PERSPECTIVE

    In this episode:

    • Identifying the things we need to unlearn

    • Releasing the expectations we put on others

    • Assuming that people are doing the best they can

    • Being selective on who we take advice from

    As we are going into the holiday season, that means a lot of family gatherings, & sometimes we can get anxious or proactively stressed out from knowing that we are going to be around certain people who might trigger us & so sometimes we come into these gatherings in a reactive state.... right? 

    So I wanted to take this episode to dig into this topic a little deeper and talk about releasing expectations.

    Whether it’s the expectations we have of how someone “should” act or an expected outcome from a certain situation, we tend to play it out before we even get there.

    That’s just not a fun way to live life that causes a bunch of unnecessary stress, so today I am breaking down 4 little tips you can put into play TODAY to help you navigate these situations to have the most uplifting & rewarding experience possible.

     

    Can’t wait to hear what you think girl!

     

    Quotes:

    “Part of becoming an adult means we’ve gotta unlearn some of the stuff that we were taught.”

    “We all have feelings, we all struggle, we’re all just trying to do what we can do to figure out this journey through life… we’ve gotta just give them some grace.”

    “We can either choose to get annoyed by that or we can just release the expectations as a whole. Girl, which one feels better?”

    “You can choose to take today and make it whatever the hell you want.”

  • Why you've just gotta START SCARED! It's LAUNCH DAY!!!

    In this episode:

    • Acknowledging your feelings without judgement

    • Stop pretending you’re not scared & own it

    • Rewrite & upgrade the story you’re telling yourself

    • Expecting the challenge & discomfort of starting

    GIRL, I am SO PUMPED that you are here today!!

    I can’t wait to dive into this topic & give you two ways to start before you’re ready even if you have no idea what the heck you’re doing.

    Honestly, it feels extra appropriate to talk about this topic TODAY, because girl I am feeling all the feels!

    I am also overwhelmed with gratitude for YOU & for you being part of this podcast community.

    Today, November 25th 2019, is officially LAUNCH DAY of my new company, She Goes, that I would have never even thought to create had it not been for the support & the experience of this podcast over the last year.

    I’ve connected with SO many amazing people through social media because of this podcast & now I am on a mission to create tools that are going to help us take purpose driven action towards building lives that we really freaking love & I am here for it!

    I didn’t know what I was doing starting this podcast, and again don’t really know what I’m doing as I kick off this new business with actual PRODUCTS.

    But that’s not stopping me, because it’s always going to be scary & nerve-racking at first because you’ve never done it before! That’s not a reason to quit on your dreams girl, so let’s do the damn thing!

    Can’t wait to hear what you think & of course let me know if you grab the With Intention game planner or join our online community, The Collective! 

    Quotes:

    “It’s not stupid if you’re scared, it’s not dumb if you’re nervous, it’s not crazy if you feel like you’re gonna vomit just out of the pure nervousness.”

    “Growth doesn’t always feel good… but why the hell do we let ourselves fail and faceplant all the time as kids, but then we become adults and we just expect that we have it all figured out.”

    “It does not mean you can’t do it, it just means you haven’t done it yet.”

    “We should expect that the first time is going to be the hardest to navigate because it is the most unfamiliar.

    • Attaching visuals & feelings to your dreams

    • Letting yourself truly dream big

    • Breaking down 8 concepts of your ideal life

    Today’s episode is a little different, but I am SO excited you are here because I’m going to walk you through something that I think is going to be so powerful for you like it is for me.

    We are diving into the concept of visualizing our ideal futures.

    I’m going to ask you to dig deep by asking yourself some questions that will help you determine what you want and what it’s going to look like & feel like.

    This is a bit different because I hope you will actually write this down.

    There is a PDF linked here that you can follow along with & fill out, but I think you’re going to want to listen to this one a couple times while you really dig into your life vision!

    This is such a powerful tool that I want to help you master so that you can always have it in your toolbox moving forward.

    I can’t wait to hear what you think & see YOU visualizing your dream life!

    Quotes:

    “You’re just gonna have to push through your resistance. Understand that it’s there because your brain is trying to protect you because it wants to keep you comfortable, but really you’ve got this fire in you.” 

    “If nothing was off limits, no ideas were ‘dumb,’ your lack of skill didn’t matter because you could learn how to do anything, what would your ideal career path be?”

    “Sometimes we feel stuck, because we’re in this grinding it out stage, we’re trying to push ourselves through… but what if you thought about how good it could be.”

    “The idea of how epic our future could be, can be the catalyst for making us change. For taking us from feeling stuck to thriving.”

  • Let's get our HAPPY ON! TIPS for more everyday JOY!

    In this episode:

    • Daily habits to create more happiness

    • Taking inventory of what brings you joy

    • Questions to help identify your baseline

    • Doing your best to be what you want to see

    I am a huge believer that if we are not very intentional about going through our days looking for ways to generate more joy & happiness, we might be going down a really slippery slope or a path that could end up with us looking back wondering, how the heck did I get here. 

    & not the good kind of how did I get here, but the ‘ugh, why the heck is my life so unfulfilled’ kind.

    So what’s required to build a happy & fulfilling life?

    I think happiness in your days & intentional small consistent deposits DAILY is the secret sauce.

    We all know you don’t just “arrive” at happy, or confident, or fit, or whatever, but it’s those little things that would be easy to do but also not to do that you are going to choose TO do because those things are what compound over time & create the life you love.

    I love this topic & just know it will be so impactful for you!

    Can’t wait to hear what you think girl!

    Quotes:

    “The same rules apply for happiness and joy, we have to intentionally create it which means we’ve got to be constantly looking for things that we can control… that are going to make us happier human beings.”

    “We’ve gotta take that finger that we wanna point at someone else, we’ve gotta flip it back around & point it at ourselves & say, what can I own here?”

    “How would the most grateful version of me, who understands that today is a freaking gift that some people are not blessed with, show up to today to make it count.”

    “All that we are guaranteed is the moment right in front of us, the day that we are gifted which is today. We have to make today count.”
