Let's talk about investing in yourself. I'm not talking about buying luxury cars or extravagant vacations; I'm talking about investing in your growth, your development, and your journey towards becoming the best version of yourself.

Picture it as planting a seed that grows into a forest of accomplishments. When you invest in yourself, you're sowing the seeds of true personal wealth and abundance. It's like creating a savings account for your own development, one that yields dividends far beyond monetary gains.

The most remarkable investments you can make aren't in stocks or real estate; they're investments in yourself. By embracing personal and professional growth, you're making a commitment to your own future.

In this episode I share:

• The 5 reasons why investing yourself is so important
• The 5 questions you can ask yourself to assess where you are at with this on your own journey

Whether it's expanding your knowledge through education, nurturing your physical and mental well-being, building a strong network, fostering meaningful relationships, or daring to take calculated risks – each investment contributes to your own personal capital.

Remember this: You are the finest investment you can ever make. Your potential is boundless, and the returns on this investment will span a lifetime. When you invest in yourself, you're setting the stage for lasting success and fulfillment.

In today's bustling world, it's all too easy to get caught up in the constant stream of information and distractions. But what if I told you that the key to clarity, inspiration, and personal alignment lies in the simple act of pausing?

When we allow ourselves to take a break, we grant our minds the opportunity to tune into our own thoughts and connect with our higher self. Amidst the noise of social media, news, and external influences, it becomes challenging to hear our own inner voice. But through a moment of stillness, we can reconnect with our authentic selves and discover the wisdom that resides within.

Pausing might seem unproductive, as if we're not accomplishing anything tangible. But in reality, it is during these pauses that we experience a reset—a chance to re-align and reconnect. We gain access to our inner wisdom, our intuition, and the guidance that comes from within. It is in these moments of internal reflection that we can discover what truly matters to us, what ignites our passions, and what aligns with our authentic selves.

In this episode I share:

• How Hustle Culture is counterproductive
• Why we need to reframe the stigma around taking a break
• The top 5 benefits that you experience when you give yourself the permission to pause

This reconnection with our inner selves is where true inspiration lies. It's from this space of clarity that we can unveil our deepest desires, passions, and purpose. Sometimes, we don't need to take more action; instead, we need to take a step back and listen to the whispers of our souls.

So, let's embrace the power of pausing and prioritize these moments of self-reflection. By doing so, we grant ourselves the gift of self-awareness and self-discovery. It's in these quiet moments that we gather the strength to make meaningful decisions and move towards our desired outcomes with clarity and purpose.

When faced with failure, we are presented with a choice: Do we surrender and give up, or do we rise and bounce back?

Think about it. Life is a journey filled with ups and downs, successes and failures. When we encounter challenges, setbacks, and failures, they push us beyond our comfort zones and test our limits. They may initially feel like obstacles in our path, but when we find meaning in those struggles, we unlock their potential as catalysts for personal development and self-improvement. It's in those moments of adversity that we have the opportunity to use them as fuel, propelling us forward on our journey.

I firmly believe that we learn more from our challenges and setbacks than we do from our triumphs. In fact, we learn that setbacks are not the end of our journey. They are merely stepping stones, guiding us toward greater accomplishments. Each time we rise again, we grow stronger and more resilient than we ever imagined. It is a testament to our ability to adapt, persevere, and overcome.

In this episode I share:

• Why it is important to find meaning in the challenges and setbacks that we face in our lives
• Three profound lessons that we can learn from failures and setbacks

In the face of adversity, we discover our inner resources, our resilience, and our capacity to thrive even in the most challenging circumstances. It is through these trials that we find our true selves and unlock our untapped potential.

Embrace this power and rise strong after every setback. Challenges are the stepping stones to your personal growth journey. Learn, adapt, and grow. The choice is yours—will you surrender or rise again?

Picture this: you find yourself standing at a crossroads, contemplating whether to take a leap of faith or remain in your comfort zone. You may be hesitant, questioning whether you're truly ready or if the timing is perfect. But here's the reality: waiting for the ideal moment is an illusion, and regret is a powerful force.

As I reflect on my entrepreneurial path, I recall a turning point that defied all my expectations. It started with the loss of my job—a job I wasn't particularly happy in, to begin with. But on that fateful day, something inside me sparked. By the evening, I made a decision: I was going to start a business. There were no elaborate plans, no concrete ideas, and not even a name. I simply followed my desires, intuition, and passions, taking stock of what truly mattered to me.

Driven by a deep desire to make a difference, I started engaging with female entrepreneurs, seeking to understand how I could help. Eventually, it led me to supporting startups to launch, scale and grow their companies, to the world of coaching and, now, the launch of this very podcast—an avenue to showcase diverse entrepreneurial stories.

The truth is, none of this was initially part of my plan. But I realized that by focusing on a problem I cared deeply about, I could make a significant impact. I learned and adapted along the way, building momentum and shaping a business around my passions.

In this episode I share:

• How the power of starting small can help discovering your own capabilities
• The fallacy of waiting to be ready
• The 5 truths about chasing your dreams

A key realization that struck me on this journey was that readiness is a myth. Looking back, I can say with certainty that if I had waited until I felt ready, I would still be waiting today. Waiting for the stars to align is an endless waiting game.

So, I invite you to ask yourself: What problem ignites your passion? What is the calling you can't ignore? Remember, the right moment may never arrive. Today is the day to wake up and decide that things will be different. Take that leap of faith, even if you don't have all the answers. Embrace the uncertainty and discover the incredible possibilities that await you.

Striving for perfection is unrealistic and can hold us back from taking meaningful and impactful action.

As a recovering perfectionist, I know the feeling all too well. But taking messy and imperfect action has allowed me to launch my business, podcast, and countless other initiatives - bringing so much joy and opportunity into my life.

In this episode I talked about:

• What happens when you sit in inaction
• Why it is important to get over our need to show up perfectly
• Top three benefits and outcomes you will experience when you start taking imperfect action

Tune in to learn more about how perfectionism may be holding you back, and why imperfect action is the way forward!

Last week we delved into a topic that struck a chord with so many of you: the importance of caring about what others think. The response was overwhelming and it made me realize just how deeply caring about others' opinions affects us in countless ways.

But here's the thing, I also discovered that I'm still grappling with this issue myself, despite having worked through many layers of it. It's like an onion with hidden depths, manifesting both consciously and subconsciously. Even after releasing that episode, I caught myself hoping for people's approval, which revealed that I was still creating from a place of pleasing others.

Now, there's nothing inherently wrong with seeking approval, right? After all, we want the validation and acceptance of those around us because we care about them. However, the reality is that if we are relying on others' opinions as a measure of our self-worth that can be incredibly harmful.

That realization propelled me to dive even deeper into this topic and bring you part 2, where we will unpack what's truly going on and explore why and what you should care about instead.

In this episode I share:

• WHY we still care so much about what others think even when we think we don’t.
• Three main areas where the need for approval, acceptance and validation can have serious consequences
• Why and what you should care about instead

Ultimately, it’s important to realize how pointless it really is to focus on pleasing others - it breeds uncertainty and halts your dreams. The truth is that we all have inherent worth and purpose, regardless of what others think. Tune in now and so you can start focusing on the only approval you really need - your own!

Do you find yourself constantly worrying about what others think of you? Does this hold you back from pursuing your goals and dreams? If so, then it's time to stop caring about what others think so you can live an empowered life. 

This can be a difficult mindset to adopt, especially if you've spent your whole life seeking approval from others. But once you let go of this need for validation, you'll find that you can finally be yourself and be truly happy.

In this episode I share:

• The reasons why we care so much about what other think
• What happens to us (and our dreams) when we are constantly seeking approval
• Steps you can take to stop caring so much about what others think so you can live your most expressed and empowered self

Take a listen and remember that when you stop caring about what others think, you'll find that you can finally live the life you were meant to live.

As I approach a milestone birthday (the big 4-0), I have been reflecting (a lot)!

Reflecting about my journey to date and more so about the journey ahead of me. And in this period of reflection I have connected with countless others that are also reflecting and this is what I have discovered in the process:

• Our life is made up of a collection of chapters that make up one grand story
• That we are the authors of our own story and therefore, we have the power to pen a new chapter
• We choose what comes with us into the next chapter and we have the ability to leave what no longer serves us behind
• We can give ourselves permission to change the story - especially if we don’t like how it’s been going do far
• That it’s okay and necessary to reinvent ourselves so we can step into the best version of ourselves
• A version that allows us to show up for ourselves and others in our highest capacity
• And that we get to choose whether our story will be a horror story or one that makes us smile - one that is full of meaning, purpose and enjoyment!

Tune into this episode and ask yourself these questions:

• Do you like how your story is going?
• What would you change (and why)?
• What do you want to experience in this lifetime?
• How do you want to show up everyday?

AND, what is one action you can take today towards writing (and living) the biggest, grandest and most epic next chapter of your life?

The possibilities are endless, and the power is in our hands. Let's seize it and make our story one that makes us smile. Let's write a life that inspires and empowers both ourselves and those around us.

I want to share a personal story that inspired today's topic of change. It all began with my father's habit of drinking Gingerale, despite its high sugar content. I tried to introduce him to a healthier alternative called Zevia. However, he has been so resistant to change and this experience led me to reflect on why we are so often resistant to change even if we know it will be better for us. 

Through my father's experience with Gingerale, I learned that change cannot be forced upon others. Instead, it must stem from personal motivation and a genuine desire for change. By leading by example and embarking on our own journeys of self improvement we can inspire those around us to consider their own transformations. And remember, change should not be feared but rather seen as an opportunity for growth. 

In this episode I talk about:

• Why it is important to embrace change
• Focusing on WHY you want to change as the first step
• Ways you can start making positive change in your life today 

Tune in and let me know, what changes are you willing to embrace today? And, if you need help as you navigate the journey of change together - feel free to book a free discovery call with me - link ⬇️
