• Letting yourself FEEL it

• Knowing when to ask for help

• Figuring out what you can LEARN

• Choosing GRATITUDE in the hard times

It’s NOT always going to feel good.

Nope. Even from me, super optimistic & positive me, you know I’m gonna tell you how it is and the truth is sometimes its going to be crappy.

Building a business, chasing our dreams, having people that don’t get it, showing up to our everyday life, to our relationships, to trying to GROW as humans - that stuff is MESSY & it doesn’t always feel good.

Fundamentally I think we all know that it doesn’t always feel good, but sometimes we doubt ourselves & spiral to this really dark negative place. We’ve all been there, haven’t we?

BUT, what we have to remember is that we don’t have to STAY there. We can CHOOSE to be grateful for what got us here & for every blessing in our lives.

Today I wanted to share a couple of tips that I have found helpful for pulling yourself OUT of that dark place & GROWING through what you are GOING through. I really hope this helps girl, because you can NOT be the only thing standing in your way, right?   

Quotes:

“When I fall down, there is something that I am supposed to find when I am down.”

“As humans we do need that full contrast of emotions to have the full human experience while we’re here. Our one shot on this planet, we want to have the full experience.”

“The lows remind us how beautiful the highs are. They give us this amazing perspective on our strength, on our ability to push through, our resilience. That’s a muscle girl, we gotta build it.”

“Don’t rob someone else of the opportunity to help you.”

“Try your freakin best to look at this & say, what can this teach me? What can I learn here?”

In this episode:

• Questions to ask when establishing boundaries

• Taking full responsibility for your choices

• Being intentional with your relationships

• Different boundaries for different seasons

Girl, I am SO excited you are here today because we’re talking about a topic that recently I’ve gotten a lot of questions about, which is how do I “balance it all.”

Truth is, I’m NOT juggling it ALL, so let’s just kibosh that whole idea right now. I am happy & grateful, but I’m only juggling what I CHOOSE to juggle which means I’m really only paying attention to what I have put on my priority list myself. It’s really important that if you’re adding something new into your life right now that you’re just honest about how it’s going to be messy at first!

There’s no way to add something into an already full plate, so something will have to give. We have GOT to set boundaries, and those boundaries are going to change as the seasons of our life changes. So today, I am sharing with you a couple of questions that I ask myself to determine what my boundaries are in whatever season I am in. I hope these are helpful for YOU to set boundaries in your own life & of course I can’t wait to hear what you think!

“You’re feeling the call to wanna honor your priorities and create some boundaries because you need to do it, for your life and for the people around you that deserve the best version of you.”

Quotes:

“Maybe there’s an opportunity that you just don’t know how to say no yet, and that’s something that you want to get intentional about working on.”

“It’s not actually what’s going on or even the choices that we’re making at the end of the day, it’s how we feel about what’s going on.”

“I’m gonna make changes from this place of gratitude, where I am grateful for where I’m at now but I’m excited about where I’m going. And then I’m gonna set boundaries from there.”

“I believe that you should feel empowered to have a life outside of building a business or outside of your career, to have a full complete happy life that you love, even with big goals.”

In this episode:

• What could be causing acne triggers

• Ingredients to avoid in your skincare routine

• Effects of stress & hormones on skin health

• Understanding what to look for in products & why

Danielle and Kayleigh met when Kayleigh, a successful holistic nutritionist and health & wellness blogger, was dealing with Celiac reactions resulting in severe cystic acne and inflammation. She was working to heal internally but was looking for ways to treat her skin externally as well.

This led her to Danielle, the owner of the San Diego Acne Clinic. After working with Danielle and realizing that our skin absorbs 60% of what is placed on it (including harmful chemicals, cheap fillers and toxic acne triggering ingredients!), Kayleigh realized the true value of skincare and all the ingredients behind it.

After Danielle mentioned that she was beginning to develop her own skincare brand, Kayleigh immediately jumped on board. With her strong nutritional background, obsession for high-quality ingredients and passion for non-toxic, natural skin treatments, it was the perfect match.

I am SO excited for today’s episode because it’s a bit different of a topic, but I know it will provide such incredible value!

Clearstem founders Danielle & Kayleigh join us to chat all things skin health, acne triggers, stress & hormones, and share their very unique story of how they got to where they are today as owners of an incredibly successful skincare company.

They are huge advocates of helping consumers understand how the products we use & environmental issues can affect our skin and really just helping consumers feel knowledgeable to feel empowered to take action & make educated choices.

I’ve gotten a ton of DMs on instagram & questions about skin, so I am pumped to bring this episode to you today & I can’t wait to hear what you think!

“The more we can prepare for what’s gonna happen, the easier it is to control that stress anxiety.” Kayleigh

“Business is the ability to solve problems while managing your stress.” Danielle

“Move fast, learn fast… trust your gut, analyze things, make a decision, move forward.” Danielle

“No one has it figured out going in… knowing that and being comfortable asking a million questions and not feeling inferior for asking questions.” Kayleigh

In this episode:

• Letting go of those “should” expectations

• Giving people grace & taking them off a pedestal

• Choosing to assume the best in people

• Loving others wherever they are at

I am SO excited you are here today, it’s a little bit of a curveball in that I’ve never talked about this in this way, BUT I really think it’s going to be impactful. We’re talking about letting “it” go.

& what I’m talking about, is the view of our relationship with our parents and how they “should” act as parents.

Sometimes, it’s not that we JUST need to take action, but that we actually need to look at things through a different lens, and honestly that tiny little reframe can really help us in an impactful way to start making moves right?

I am really excited to share a few tips with you today & I cannot wait to hear what you think girl!!

Quotes:

“Anyone that you’re thinking about that ‘should’ act in a certain way, where is that coming from?”

“Why not just assume the best in people, it feels better. When we’re holding on to grudges or resistance or negativity, that’s not serving anyone and it doesn’t physically feel good in our body.”

“We can choose to love them, and do the only thing that we can do: control ourselves.”

“What our choice to do is? Is to own what we CAN control, which is our thoughts about these people.”

In this episode:

• Acknowledging your fears without criticism

• Disproving the story you’re telling yourself

• Getting accountability to take action

• Moving through fear instead of staying stuck

As we know, we create our thoughts right?

And those thoughts drive our emotions which determine whether or not we will take ACTION.

I’ve been thinking of that really basic concept but under the lens of FEAR that we have. In particular those little tiny things that pop up that we get scared of or have a negative emotion to that we just squash down. What that does? Is create a HABIT of hesitation which we KNOW we just do not have time for!

So, today I wanted to share a few TANGIBLE tips to help us take ACTION even when those FEARS creep in.

I just KNOW this will resonate with you & I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Quotes:

“We create our thoughts, our thoughts drive our emotions, & then our emotions determine what type of action we’ll take or if we’ll take action at all.”

“Sometimes we talk ourselves out of even letting ourselves feel the fear or the negative emotion, because we think it’s dumb. But it’s not dumb, if its real to you.”

“We’ve gotta figure out what the story is and then we’ve gotta challenge ourselves to prove that it’s wrong in some ways.”

“At the end of the day, you are not the kind of girl that settles… the girl who’s accomplishing all the things that she wants is just not letting herself stay stuck.”

In this episode:

• Some of the science behind habits

• Attaching desired habits to current habits

• Taking action before hitting rock bottom

I don’t know if you’re like me, but sometimes I just want to take over the whole world & do ALL the things.

BUT, sometimes that can leave me feeling overwhelmed because I’m squirelling all over the place & I need to just focus in & take some action.

Today’s episode is all about one super SIMPLE hack I have found for STACKING the habits you WANT to have on top of the ones you already do automatically.

Because taking SOME action, even if it’s just one tiny habit, is always better than ZERO action - and you know we are ALL about that ACTION here. I just know this is going to be impactful & I can’t wait to hear how it helps you girl!

Quotes:

“We are waiting until it’s an actual problem. But in reality, we don’t wanna wait until its a problem, let’s just fix it now.”

“We create this BS story that it would be really hard to make a change, or have that conversation, or start that project, when in reality it’s not that hard.”

“The more that we do something over and over again, the stronger that connection, that network of neurons becomes.”

“You’ve got one life, in which you’re going to do everything you’ve ever done. Let’s act accordingly.”

In this episode:

• Simple ways to find more HAPPINESS in your day to day

• How the things compound over time

• Where excitement is DERIVED from in goals

Today... we are talking about WHY we are SO DAMN SERIOUS?! 

Honestly, it’s like we are little kids slaying lemonade on the street corner in our Limited Too SWISHY pants…. playing with Barbies and then all of a sudden we are paying taxes and talking about insurance and COUNTING down the days til Friday... 

SO…OF COURSE I understand we need to work, we have to do some AUDLTY things…but what about if we gave ourselves a LITTLE MAGIC TODAY to make the PROCESS toward getting where we want to go MORE FUN? 

In today's quick hit we touch on how to get obsessed with falling in love with the PROCESS rather than what the PROCESS can produce, and get in the habit of asking ourselves…”HOW can this be more FUN?”

I know it’s not rocket science... but I think it’s actually LIFE changing.

Because it’s DAY changing. 

& GOOD days piled on top of each other makes for good weeks, which makes for good months, to years to our entire LIVES right?!  

So while often get REALLY caught up in our TO DO LISTS which are important because we have GOALS we want to crush… but what about our TO FEEL LIST? 

Because how we FEEL about the goal is even more important than the GOAL itself isn't it? 

& GIRL.... how we feel about our LIVES really freaking matters! 

Can't wait to hear what you think!
