It is the time of year where we all feel a bit different...a bit better than usual.
The holiday spirit is undeniable everywhere we go so I ask the question, how are you spreading cheer this year? Even with restrictions, there are still many ways we can share our optimism and raise the mood of everyone around us.
I hope this quick episode gives you the motivation to go out and spread cheer in some way today!

What do you do for yourself that fills you up?
We must dedicate time each day to ourselves to grow the connection with yourself. You nourish the most important relationship in your life (YOU!) when you participate in activities that allow you to reflect, grow, and motivate you to take action.
This episode is to help inspire you to take the next steps in defining what activity aids you in focusing in on yourself, deepening your connection with you, and creating the life you dream of.

I couldn't out run COVID this year my friends. But it's okay, I'm here to share my experience with you. All of your curious questions will be answered:

How did I catch the COVID?
What were my symptoms?
Did I spread it?
What is my opinion on COVID now?

I originally believed that this virus couldn't touch me. I'm a young, healthy 25 year old. I'm invincible! Little did I realize that even by taking care of myself, I can still catch this virus and it can still kick my butt.

What I've come to learn from this experience is that my actions are not just about me. Being sick is inconvenient, yes. But what about other people who may not be able to fight this off? What about all of the grandmas out there?? #savethegrandmas

As we approach the holiday season of gatherings, potlucks, and many hugs what I hope for you to gain from this episode is an attitude of not only taking care of yourself, but be mindful of those around you too.

Stay safe & healthy my friends!

Dropping F*bombs, talking feminism and discussing the reality of stress in life right now. Speaking from the heart here in this episode on what I'm getting fired up about while also realizing that many of the things we stress over don't require our worry.
I hope that this post-election day episode is just the right chit-chat you need with your friend JQ to de-stress and get fired up about the things that truly matter in life.

Sometimes, losing in life is actually winning. In this episode, Sterling Schwisow and I talk about his "quarantine transformation". Sterling took this pause in 2020 to focus on himself and has lost over 55 pounds.

Beyond his body transformation, he has gone through a massive mindset shift in how he views himself, his relationships, and his life. We discuss how losing weight doesn't just open you up to new activities, it helps you release the weight you are carrying in your mind as well.

We can all benefit from the vulnerability that Sterling shares in this episode to inspire us to let go of unhealthy habits both in our actions and in our mindset.

Do you ever feel that you are surrounded by chaos? That there is not enough time in the day for you? That days are morphing into one? Do you want to create structure in your life to develop yourself but not sure where to start?

One of the best things I did for myself was to dedicate time to my self development every day by developing a routine. A self development routine creates structure by narrowing in on who we want to become and focuses on moving the needle forward on the goals we set for ourselves and our lives.

Inspired by my own lack of routine lately, I wanted to share the benefits of creating a routine to help get myself back on track. I share the 7 activities I live by in my daily routine,
- Movement
- Affirmations / Mantras
- Journaling
- Visualisation
- Reading
- Meditation
- Gratitude

By even selecting just a few of these activities, you'll begin to notice yourself transform. I share more tips on how to get started on creating a routine for yourself because there truly is nothing better you can do for yourself than to spend time with yourself in order to grow.

Change is inevitable. So how do you handle it?

Are you afraid of change? Do you run from it? Do you settle in order to avoid the uncomfortable feelings of change?

Now more than ever we are faced with change but what if you could control the change going on in your life? How would you feel if you could navigate change for your benefit? Well you can.

Change can come to us in many different ways. It can be unexpected it, we can see it coming, or we can create it for ourselves. No matter the form it enters into your life, you can take control by asking yourself,
What do I want to come out of this?
What is this for?

I discuss three different major life events that brought on a lot of change for me and I share just how I was able to navigate them. I also share major life changes currently going on in my life. From getting a new job, moving in with my boyfriend, and pursuing a passion in coaching others to achieve meaningful goals for themselves - 2020 has been an interesting year so far to say the least.

You too can make this year meaningful as you navigate the change placed in your path.

Becca has taken huge leaps of faith in her personal and professional life, most notably leaving her 9-5 job to start her own boutique social media agency. We discuss the courage and support it took for her to go off on her own business venture and all the lessons she has learned along the way.
During our conversation you see how Becca is a go-getter who is eager to succeed but especially during the era of the pandemic, she is taking on new lessons. She provides wonderful insight on how we have seasons of taking things slow and to not always be on the lookout for the next big move.
