Have you made goals, set intentions and planned it all out and just as you go to do the thing… then something happens ... life gets lifey and the next thing you know, you have to stop and focus on something else?

With so many things that need our attention, it is easy to set aside things we want to do for the things we need to do right now. In this episode, I am speaking with certified life coach, founder of Focus Mind Coaching, and my friend, Veronica Trevilla. Join the conversation as we talk about giving yourself permission to run your own race, start things when you are ready, and begin again as many times as it takes.

Did you know there is a day called Quitters Day? There are enough statistics that show enough people give up on their new goals and resolutions by the second Friday of January they named it!

There are many reasons that people give up on their goals, but not showing up for yourself shouldn’t be one of them!

Today's podcast features Alessia Tenebruso, Martha Beck certified Life Coach and founder of One Girl Travel. We are starting off the new year choosing to show up just as we are and giving ourselves permission to enjoy the act of becoming this year's best version of ourselves.

Head over to One Girl Travel to sign up for Alessia’s free Manifest Your Magic Vision Board Party on Wednesday, January 22, 2025 at 7pm EST and join me in making my first vision board for a new year!

The Power of Intention

You can tell a lot about someone if you know the intentions behind their words or actions.

You can learn a lot about yourself in how you approach things as well.

In today's episode, I am talking about the importance of setting intentions before doing something AND remembering them if and when things get wonky.

Boundaries get a bad rap.

A lot of people tend to think of boundaries as a restriction. If someone enforces a boundary, it may be seen as a bad thing and that they are somehow wrong for having certain standards.

This is especially true for anyone used to being able to say and do whatever they want without encountering resistance. Having boundaries keeps your values in check.

In today's episode, I am talking about boundaries - setting them and enforcing them, even when it's hard.

If you were a character in a tv show, would you follow their storyline? If every year of your life was a new season and you’re 20-30-40 or more seasons into the show, has your character developed much? Is the wardrobe still the same? What about the hair and makeup?

In today's episode, I am talking about embracing your main character energy and a few ways to develop it.

Experiencing a deep loss can alter your life forever. Whether it is the unexpected loss of a job, relationship or the loss of a friend or loved one, it is among the hardest things we go through in our lives.

In today's episode, I am sharing some of my hardest losses over the last few years and how I have started to heal and actively and rebelliously seek joy in the process.

Do you ever have aha, lightbulb moments when you realize how you handled something was so different than how you used to? Or, maybe you fell back into a pattern that you swore you would not go back to? 

In today’s episode, I am talking about celebrating your wins, noticing and readjusting what isn’t working, and relaxing your mind and body. Your life isn’t a race to be won. It is a celebration of who you are and everything that makes you wonderfully you.

I am so grateful for others who speak the words I need to hear and put things in a way that really hits me and either soothes or challenges my thoughts. Either way it’s a win when the goal is to grow!

In this episode, I am sharing some powerful Instagram material that I found this past week that really helped me to tie some things together in order to share what’s been on my mind in a more powerful way.

Thank you to the posters of Instagram that are mentioned in this podcast!
