Showing up with consistency is a challenge most of us face.  It is the one thing that holds most people back from getting the results they want and making the changes they desire in their lives.  

What will it take for you to remain consistent in busy seasons?

Have a listen and see if it helps you shift your mindset about showing up consistently.  

If you are an entrepreneur in small town, chances are you don't have direct access to your customers via an email list.  

In this episode I share how and why you need an email list and how it will impact your business an relationships with your customers.  

This podcast has been active and dormant so many times.  I was ready to say that's it - I'm done with it.  I needed some time to decide what to do. 

In this episode I share what I have decided and why. 

Sometimes, we just need to step back to see it all clearly.  

Hope you enjoy

We had our last minor hockey game with our son on Sunday.  It left me feeling like someone punched me in the gut.  It made me get curious and dig deep about what was really going on.  

I've also had one of my kids going through endings of a job/clients and also a move with a lot of beginnings - location, school, business, everything is new.  

In this episode I talk about my beggings journey, how endings are a call for us to pause, reflect and soak it in, while beginnings require us to take action, make decisions and move forward.  

Endings are part of life, beginnings get more rare as we age.  Status quo becomes our default as we age.  I love getting curious about how it impacts us as we age.  

A bit of a shift in focus for this podcast, but moving forward I will be weaving in agriculture based topics and conversations.  I have been working with farmers and farm families over the last 20 years as a consultant and I know I need to start sharing more about the industry.  

After the last 5 years (or so) there has been a huge shift in how people talk about farming, agriculture, food production and how it impacts the environment.  As farmers and those of us involved in the agriculture community, it's important that we take back the conversation and shut down the false information shared.  

In this conversation I talk high level about the industry and how it's being vilified with false information.  Let's keep talking and let's keep exploring the truth.  

It has been a year away from the podcast and for a good part of that year, it was on the chopping block.  I wasn't sure if it still had a place in my business that aligned with my goals.  I'm happy to say that it's back!  I promised myself that on March 1st, I was bringing her back to life,..and here it is.  In this episode I talk about why I needed to take a step back, and share some lessons learned along the way.  I hope you enjoy.  

If you have struggled with perfectionism, feeling overwhelmed, and you freeze as you face your long to do list.  You waste more time than you would like to admit, and your are craving more order and control over the small moments of your day.  

If this resonates, then this episode has been shared for you. 

I have found myself freezing and not doing anything because I was raised to believe that if I couldn't do it right, not to bother doing it all.  What if i didn't have the time to do it right?  I found myself leaving things because I didn't have enough time over and over again - in my house, my health, and my business.  

This mindset shift has helped me to use the small moments to make them matter and they have helped me to feel the momentum of simply moving the needle.  

If you have been a perfectionist, I would love to hear from you if you try this and it helps you feel a little more in control and a little less overwhelmed.  

I believe we are all put into a leadership role at some point in our lives.  We all start into leadreship roles with the intention to do a good jobe and achieve something significatn.  The challenge is that as a leader, there are people you are leading that are unpredictable and dynamic.  

I have been studying leadership formally and informally for many years and I have discovered that there are 3 key things all high impact leaders do.  

They are humble & courageous (and protect the group), 

They can see the strengths of each person/player

They have clarity of intention and vision

I added in one more because it came to me as I was recording the episode, high impact leaders are also able to lift up any and all members of the team after defeat, challenge or fall.  They are able to ignite that strength within each member to keep moving forward towards the goal.  

I think leadership is at the essence of what is wrong in society today, and I also believe that a shift in leadership is the way we come back out.  

Have you ever got yourself into a corner in business or had a deal fall apart, and you found yourself saying 'I knew it!'?

Have you stayed too long in an arrangement because your ego wanted you to stay?  When in fact your intuition was whispering for you to leave?

We have been conditioned to think that we only rely on our logical brain to navigate in our businesses when in fact the best business men and women use their intuition to help make decisions, big and small.  

Do you support your team and organization when they come to the table stating they used intuitive hits or guidance?

When I started in the health and wellness industry 25 years ago, things were very different.  Options and choice was limited and the access to information and resources was much harder to come by.  

This episode is a celebration of the options and choices that we have.  I recently started with a company called USANA and I wanted this episode to be about celebrating the the options we have.  Celebrate the opportunities that we have to source high quality items.  We don't have to compete and compare.  We can build eachother up.  The industry is a multi trillion dollar industry.  Most people are looking for solutions to make them healthier, have more energy, and live life to the fullest.  It is a good thing that we have choice and this episode is all about celebrating the opportunities we have.  

I hope you all celebrate and support eachother.  Build health & businesses - we are all stronger when we show up as the best versions of ourself.
