Find Your Feisty

Last week, I talked about smashing the "new year, new you" drum that's beating every January and beginning to think about what you want. This week, I'm asking: What do you want? I mean really want… Do you know?

Listen in to hear about how that question is often answered with the opposite of what it's asking for, my story of feeling flawed and fat, the new way of thinking that set me free, two more helpful questions, and the next step on our January road.

We live our best lives when we decide that NOW is the time to stop waiting to live our best lives. Now is the time to dream big, get clarity, and create a path towards our destiny and purpose!

I recently saw something like: "It's easy to be critical, try being complimentary." Wow! How true, and it seems so easy! But it's not always easy. It requires effort and practice for some of us … and by "us," I'm including myself.

But imagine putting that positivity into the world and the power it has to uplift, encourage, and inspire others. Let's be part of the movement to spread positivity and kindness! Listen in to learn how.

We create rules for ourselves that are not necessarily true. A lot of times, our rules (or stories or beliefs) were created when we were younger, when we had no idea that they were untrue or twisted. Our rules could be based on other people's values, beliefs, desires, or even their jokes.

Unverified rules ramble around our minds, running our lives until we make a conscious effort to look at them. Listen in for two rules that put me in a bind and the benefits of cutting myself free.

In honor of my wedding anniversary next week, here's what I know about marriage – it's not a lot, but it works for me!

There are four things that can make or break a marriage – or any relationship. You've probably heard that communication and trust are everything in a marriage, and I agree with that, but there are two things for you to think about before a relationship even gets started, and they'll make a big difference in how smoothly it goes. Listen to this week's podcast to hear more about all four.

Have you ever judged anyone? Of course you have. And you know how I know that? Because we're human, and humans judge! I'm not proud of it, but it's true. Welcome to being human.

Listen to today's episode for stories of judging and being judged, a new way to look at the judgments other people try to put on you, and ten words to put between you and their expectations.

Do you have everything you want in life? Do you feel like something's missing?

A career? A relationship? A home? A family? More money? Love for your body?

If the answer is no, you don't have everything you want, then my next question is: What's holding you back? Do you even know?

Listen in for the story about stories and the facts about facts, plus how I held myself back from two things I really wanted, and two questions to ask yourself that might bring you total freedom.
