In this episode:

• Acknowledge the dream in you

• Feeling far from your goals

• Excited vs overwhelmed

• Reframing your mindset to be inspired

I’m pretty PUMPED you are here today because I want to talk about something that will really hit home for you as I know it does for SO many women including myself. This concept of labeling that space between where we are now and where we want to go, and what happens if we MISlabel it. Sometimes we label it as intimidating, while other times we label it as inspiring. I think it is really powerful that we can choose to reframe our mindset to how we WANT to label it and I wanted to go into a bit more detail for you today. As always, can’t wait to hear what you think, so tag me on Instagram or slide into those DMs girl!

Quotes:

“I can let that space inspire me… if I label it that way, I’m excited, I’m passionate, and I wanna chase my dreams.”

“I think a lot of events are neutral, and we create the meaning.”

“The person that I’m becoming in pursuit of the goal is what it’s all about.”

“This dream’s not in you by accident.”

• Using inconveniences to serve us

I honestly believe, to my core, that today’s topic is one of the biggest reasons that I feel really happy and excited a majority of each day, which is why I am SO excited that you are here today as we chat about how life is RIGGED in our FAVOR. Having the ability to manage your mindset is CRUCIAL to how you handle everyday situations & how you let things that are typically totally out of your control affect your mood & happiness. I think that this concept that I have used to serve myself in a massive way, might really serve YOU too, even in those annoying situations. And of course, I’m here to give you TANGIBLE action steps for getting out of that negative headspace when something doesn’t go how you had hoped or planned:

1. Start with the little things each day & decide that life is rigged in your favor. Ask yourself how this can serve you & what evidence is there to PROVE it?

2. Looking backwards at the big things that you may have written off as something bad & realizing that something positive DID come out of it.

Quotes:

“We know, that what we look for, we’re gonna find.”

“Because when something doesn’t go my way I’m looking for how it serves me… because I don’t want to have a chain of bad days. I’ve got things to do here and so do you!”

“I found something positive, from something that could be perceived as a negative.”

“Why would you not come up with something positive from something negative?”

“We can create the meaning of all events.”

In this episode:

• Giving yourself grace

• Self-confirming bias

• Your feelings ARE valid

• Tools to get out of your funk

Hey girl! I am so happy you are here today because we are talking about something that I think is so relevant, which is pulling yourself out of a funk. We all have these times where we get ourselves into analysis-paralysis or total funky freak out and it is NORMAL. What I have learned, is it's so important to be able to CATCH yourself, acknowledge the feeling and then be aware of HOW to get OUT of that funk. I wanted to share a few tricks that I have put into practice to help pull you out of that funk:

1. Let yourself feel it & acknowledge that you are totally normal.

2. Ask yourself, what is the REAL story?

3. Take action - inaction breeds fear.

Quotes:

“Even the happiest people can have off moments, or get funky feeling sometimes, right? And not a good funky.”

“It’s okay to not be okay sometimes. It’s okay to freak out, its okay to lose your cool or start crying for some reason that seems really random.”

“Nothing that you feel a feeling to cry about, is worth apologizing for. You don’t need to apologize.”

“Express the emotion and acknowledge that you are totally normal, nothing is wrong with you girl, you have feelings, you’re human.”

“When you want to make a statement that’s about yourself that says you’re not capable, look for all the reasons that you can.”

“If you can’t seem to pull yourself out of a funk for yourself, do it for your friend that needs you, for your sister, for your kids, for your coworkers, for your significant other. Someone needs you in a good state, in a HAPPY state.”

Episode 22: Consistency

In this episode:

• Setting the stage with excitement
• Celebrating the little wins
• Creating a game-plan
• Focus on the controllables
• Asking for what you need

Today we are talking about CONSISTENCY, but even more so, how to get ourselves EXCITED to actually be consistent so that the things that we want to do to build the life that we love are just part of what we do. We know that those tiny things that are easy to do, are also easy NOT to do. But those are the things we NEED to do to get us where we want to go.

Tapping into the EXCITEMENT and JOY behind these things we have to do is what will keep us CONSISTENT. Tangible ways to get the consistency you want? You know I got you girl:

1. Be proactive & get accountability
2. You’ve got to know WHY you’re doing it
3. MAKE IT FUN!

“To accomplish anything GREAT, you’re going to have to start before you’re ready.”

Quotes:

“Those tiny little things that are so easy TO do, are equally easy NOT to do. But to get us where we want to go, we’ve gotta do those things.”

“If it feels good to do something, we’re probably gonna be more inclined to do it again.”

“If you’re feeling your best, you’re impacting everyone around you.”

“The absolute best reasons why we do something are either extremely pleasurable… or maybe it’s very painful.”

“Sometimes it comes from pain, sometimes it comes from pleasure. But if there’s a pain or pleasure that’s attached specifically to you of why you’re doing something, you’re gonna be so much more likely to show up.”

“What makes it fun is gonna make you show up, girl, that’s gonna build that consistency!”

“Consistency is like a muscle that you would build in the gym.”
