IT'S FRIDAY AGAIN!! The last one in February at that :) 

All too often we give ourselves shit for not getting something accomplished. We have high expectations of ourselves and other people and when they don't get met, we are let down. 

This weekend, try to recognize when you are being too hard on yourself and just remember to forgive. We all do this and it's okay to forget or change priorities. 

Life happens and sometimes it's out of our control. No matter what happens, give yourself grace and allow yourself the forgiveness that you deserve. 

Also, try to be more forgiving of others as well; even if that 'honey do' list is getting bigger not smaller... 

Have a great weekend :) 

We are getting to know you on a whole NOTHA level!!

What is all the hype about the Enneagram test, what is 16 personalities; what are the differences and why the F*#$ should you care?!

Well... listen and find out because not only will these tests help you better understand who you are to the core, it will help you understand why you do what you do, and how you deal with things like anxiety, fear, ambition, goals, etc. 

Not to mention, these personality tests can also help you to learn how to improve relationships and friendships! WHAT?! Yes! I promise it's not a bunch of BS! 

The start of feeling confident with who you are and figuring out the person you need to be to feel contentment... is finding out who you are TO THE CORE!

You cannot expect to improve yourself and escape the perpetual cycle of fad diets, bad relationships, overwhelming Motherhood, fake friendships, etc. if you don't first figure out WHO YOU ARE!

This is a game changer! This is the start to finding the secret that makes you YOU and that will get you the foundation and skills you need to help you not only make progress, but to set goals, achieve them, and carry it all forward for A LIFETIME!

Visit: www.enneagraminstitute.com and/or www.16personalities.com for the tests and let me know if you want a discounted code. HMU @ [email protected] or DM me @stacyfayling on IG & FB.

If you want to talk coaching, you can reach me the same and I'll be happy to deep dive with you in a FREE consult call :)

YES! It's finally the weekend :) :) :) 

This weekend's FGF is SIMPLE! 

Find 5-10 min. to escape into nothingness... that's it! If you can get more time than that, great! Otherwise, just be still, get into your own thoughts, and enjoy the silence!

We may get very little time to ourselves these days, but how often are those times filled with nothing but silence?! I KNOW! Almost non-existent! 

It can be so therapeutic to just sit in silence and observe the present. Go into this moment without any expectations. Close your eyes, imagine where you want to be, do some daydreaming, and just be still. Allow whatever comes and goes to do so freely and just enjoy the moment! 

May you have a refreshing weekend ahead, 

-XO-

Confidence Coaching may sound pretty vague right? Well, that's because it kind of is... BUT...

Confidence Coaching is so much more than what you may think. With Confidence Coaching you aren't just focused on the easy quick fixes that we think brings us confidence. This isn't just another fad diet or work out program that will guarantee you results in 21 days and then once you stop, you go back to your old ways.

Confidence Coaching goes so much deeper than just focusing on what we think needs to be fixed, like losing 10 pounds, or having a better sex life, or being the mom who never misses a school function.. 

We talk about all of this and more on today's episode. When you have someone in your corner that has an unbiased perspective and allows you the time and permission to dig deep and find yourself again, you won't believe what gets exposed. 

Having a Confidence Coach can be so healing and it provides time to build a solid foundation, tools, and skills that will carry your progress forward and through the rest of you life! There are so many aspects that we just don't think to evaluate sometimes and really what we think may be the problem rarely is.

Let's chat about how having a Confidence Coach can help you find the fulfillment, happiness, and clarity you may not have realized you were looking for. 

Sometimes, we just need a mentor!

“A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.” — Bob Proctor.

“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.” — Oprah Winfrey.

Another week has came and went, HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Over the last couple of weeks we have unplugged and we've tried new recipes, I hope you're enjoying these as much as I have. 

I've got a new one for you today and that is to get moving!! Go as big as you want or just take it easy, 1 day this weekend or every day; but just MOVE! 

20-30 min. at least 5 days a week has great benefits, not just for physical health but for mental and emotional health as well.

Ideas: Yoga, Stretching, On Demand/Youtube, HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), Walking, Running/Jogging, Barre, Dancing, etc. 

This also goes along with Tuesday's episode about investing in yourself. What a better time to look into a way to invest in your health and wellbeing! 

Have fun and know that I'll be moving right along with you sista!!

Would you believe me if I told you that there is just 1 thing that you could change and start doing differently that would not only begin to show results, but would maintain those results?! 

What the butt?! YES! I'm so serious! 

So many times we focus on what we need to change, usually our physical appearance, and we start there. Maybe we see results, maybe we don't; but we usually aren't consistent and once we have our quick fix we are back at the same old habits that lead us down the rabbit hole in the first place. 

Not anymore! By learning this ONE thing, you will have the tools to focus on more than just the quick fix and get the results and learn to maintain them!

This is a skill that once practiced becomes a less of a habit and more of a way of life; helping to heal more than just the physical self. This can help with relationships, mental health, even trauma in some cases. 

What are you waiting for? RUUUNN mama!!

Happy Friday!!! 

Are you sick of making the same things over and over again? I'm going to be mixing it up (haha! punny) in the kitchen this weekend with a new recipe. 

Go through your stack of cookbooks or check out Pinterest to find a new recipe you would like to try. You can use this as an excuse to have some me time alone in the kitchen, get the kids in there helping, or make it a fun little date night. 

Kids love to help measure, cut, stir, etc. and when they help out they are more likely to actually eat what's being served. The weekend is a great time to do this together. 

Spice up your relationship and get cooking together in the kitchen, play around, experiment, and enjoy one another's company while trying something new. 

Indulge in some much needed me time, crank up the music, and dance around the kitchen while no one is looking!

Whatever you decide to do, make sure to have fun!!! Happy cooking Mama!

Here's what I'll be trying this weekend with my family: http://chicachocolatina.blogspot.com/2013/01/churro-waffles.html 

Give me all the butter and syrup, delish!! Sugar buzz in 3...2...1 haha! 

Have a great weekend, ENJOY!

Hey babe! It's just you, me, and a nice adult beverage. Kick your feet up and enjoy the episode; it's a good one!

I will be the first to admit that I have a problem with perfection and i'm a little too Type-A. With that said, i've learned to become aware of this and have made progress to have this very strong personality trait work for me rather than against me.

Is this you too?! It's a blessing and a curse for sure but if we really aren't aware and aren't sure of how to channel it, it can really effect many different areas in our life. 

Today, we talk about where perfectionism stems from, why our society damn near normalizes it, and why we feel less than good if we don't live up to these high expectations.

We discuss how it can affect how we parent, our marriage, or friendships, and most importantly how it can become debilitating to our own health, wellness, and happiness. 

With a little help (literally) we can start to focus and stress less on perfection and become content with the imperfections (including ourselves) being less than perfect. Not only will we be content, we will be happy!! YES!

It's Feel Good Friday!!! Each week on Friday I am going to launch a mini bonus episode that's 5 minutes or less. The topics will vary but will all be aimed at helping to set the tone and get a jump start to a fantastic weekend ahead!

This week; Unplugging! I know it will be a challenge, and i'm right there with you but I know we are strong enough to do it. We may even find it very freeing not being tied to our phones all weekend and find value in other areas of our life. 

You could: work on a project (new or unfinished), go shopping, spend more time with your family, take a moment to just be by yourself, journal, etc. 

The other great thing, you won't be getting sucked up in everyone else's biznazz so you can really focus on becoming comfortable with yourself and start to make progress within your self! 

Yay! I'm so excited and you have my support because i'm literally deleting my social app as you listen to this episode! 

If you want to track your time spent on facebook go to: "privacy and settings" click on "time spent on facebook" and then "time spent this week" to take note of your starting point. 

I'd love to hear how it went for you after the weekend is over and if you plan to continue unplugging week after week :)

Self-conscious means awareness of oneself, actions, or appearance. 

Badass means an impressive uncompromising person.

A self-conscious badass has dreams, goals, and an awareness of more. The self-conscious badass, despite knowing and wanting more; continues to fight this feeling that something is missing. There is just a place inside of you that's waiting to be fulfilled but nothing you try is ever able to permanently fill that void. Sometimes, you don't even know what to try or where to begin.

Well, today we discuss why that might be and even when we feel like we are checking all the boxes and doing all the things, we are still left feeling like there's more to who we are. 

I leave you with some tips on how to dig deeper and begin the process of self-fulfillment; ultimately becoming less self-conscious and more confident! The quick fixes we think will make us feel happier and more confident aren't the answer. 

It's not what you think either! We aren't talking about a new diet or work out program, keeping a cleaner home, or doing more for others. No no no; this is all about you and what YOU can do for YOU without the guilt!

So let's just dive right into what it is that is going to help take you from self-conscious to confident badass!
