Have you ever realized that there wasn’t a class in school for one the things that we all experience the most: emotions? What’s worse is that when we don’t know how to navigate them, we inadvertently create so much more suffering for ourselves.

When we do the things we HAVE learned how to do like shove your emotions down, compartmentalize, or avoid them, you quickly slip into unwanted patterns like overeating, over drinking, overworking, feeling stuck and blocked from creativity, lower capacity for joy, higher anxiety…

…the list goes on!

So today consider this a little 101 class on emotions, helping you learn how to set aside the struggle and step into power within them (instead of always being controlled by them).

“Just be confident! You’ve got this!” Hearing this always made me roll my eyes, if I knew how to do that, I wouldn’t feel nervous or insecure ever again!

When you’re feeling far from confident, it seems like you’re supposed to just ‘will’ yourself to be confident, which only leaves you feeling farther from it. 

Today I’m talking about the real step-by-step formula for gaining confidence that might surprise you if you haven’t heard it already. When I discovered this method, I immediately stopped trying to shove down my nerves and ‘pretend’ to be confident (while actually making the nerves stronger), and instead continued to take action until one day I realized that I had all the confidence I had always been looking for. 

So, my friend - stop trying to will yourself to feel confident and instead take a listen and follow the steps and I assure you, you’ll get there.

Courage is one of my personal values because of all that it allows me to do - but it hasn't always been that way. 

I used to believe courage meant taking action without being afraid. Meaning that I'd have to muster up the energy to stop fear in it's tracks AND take action.

The idea felt impossible, and as a result I stayed small when I wanted to share myself. I stayed quiet when I wanted to speak up. I froze when I wanted to take action.

Then I learned what courage actually is, and the concept not only allowed me to take action, it set me free inside so that I could grow, expand, and experience more joy and connection. 

I share how in today's episode! Let's dig in!

What if in 2023, you were to stop limiting yourself, staying small, and going along to get along? And what if you were to instead decide to show up, be seen, and share the things that are on your heart?

I know, any of my fellow people pleasers out there might be feeling a tad bit nervous at the idea, but hear me out…

Today I’m sharing a story from my yoga teacher training when I personally discovered the true power of one person stepping into courage to share a message that the entire crowd might not have wanted to hear. For me, that message changed my life. 

I’m exploring all the ways that sharing YOUR voice, what’s on YOUR heart may become a life raft for someone else when you’d least expect it - and will free yourself in the process.

If you’re a yoga teacher, an entrepreneur, writer, blogger, or someone who has something to say but has been nervous by the reactions to it, this episode is for YOU my friend. 

Take a deep breath, and listen to the pep talk you just might need as we change the calendar year.

You know the feeling...

Maybe you’ve tried to start new healthy habits to lose weight. You've been putting the effort in and are actually feeling really good. You know you must've lost weight and are ready to REALLY celebrate, when you step on the scale and your heart sinks discovering that not much has changed. 

How you can go from feeling good and accomplished to feeling awful in a matter of seconds?

How does this feeling effect your consistency? Chances are it blocks it, further blocking you from your goal. 

In today’s episode I’m talking about a simple shift in focus to help you ditch this awful feeling and instead feel better and accomplished, while continuing to take action before you even reach your goal. When you do this, your consistency and goal will become inevitable!

If I could narrow it down to one thing in my life that has created the most powerful transformation, growth, and wellbeing, it’s goal-setting. 

Yet when it comes to embarking on this activity, a LOT can come up blocking you, leaving you feeling confused and resistant. If you do set goals, and you’re working towards them, you’re bound to feel stuck or blocked from taking action at some point. So many of us choose to forgo any of this and maybe try a fun New Year’s Resolution that doesn’t mean much to you, and get back to your everyday life. 

In today’s episode I share some of the most common misconceptions about setting goals, and how to move through them so YOU can transform yourself and your life for the better in a way that feels aligned for you. 

So whether you enjoy goal-setting and want to learn new tips, or you’ve ever felt nervous to try it, overwhelmed at where to start, or experience lots of uncomfortable feelings that block you in taking action - this episode is for you.

If you were to take a step back and look at the bigger picture, we are all seeking to feel more of the emotion of love. Whether that’s feeling more love for ourselves, feeling stronger love in our relationships, or feeling loved by the people in our lives - it drives our goals, our success, or health and wellness and so much more. 

Today I’m teaching how we actually experience this emotion, and how its actually quite different than how we’ve been conditioned to believe we experience it. Through this perspective shift, I’m sharing how you can expand your experience with this feeling in and of itself, and how that can lead to stronger and deeper connection in all of your relationships, including the one with yourself. 

At the end of this month, I’m teaching this concept inside our Winter Break Reset where I’ll guide you through releasing 2022, aligning with a clear vision for 2023, and helping you welcome in the new year with a list of your core goals for the upcoming year. You’ll never set New Year’s Resolutions again, instead you’ll want to go through this ritual to create a powerful ripple effect that will touch every part of your life throughout the year.

Whether you celebrate a specific holiday during November and December or not, this time of year can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to the feeling of grief. 

Today I talk about grief and the holiday season, how to move through waves of your own grief, and how to be there for others in their grief.

You know the crushing feeling: you’re left alone in a room with someone you’re not 100% socially comfortable with and immediately your palms start sweating, you’re wondering what on earth you’re going to talk about. You're dreading silence, what should you say? What should you do? 

Today I’m sharing the biggest lessons I’ve learned from going from being a shy and awkward person to now enjoying going to social gatherings and even, dare I say it, mingling. 

When I was deeply socially anxious, I didn’t know there was anything I could do about it - I just thought that I was wired that way and I had to go though life dreading those awkward conversations. Now, I realize that this too, can be learned and practiced!

Listen today for my three-step strategy to help you feel more comfortable and less drained in any social gathering!

Does it ever feel like being consistent (versus procrastinating, or all or nothing behavior) is just a part of you or it isn't?

That's how I felt about it for a long time. I was NOT consistent in most areas of my life and instead thriving on taking action last minute with massive amounts of pressure, and would frequently let good habits fall away. 

It wasn't until I had some big goals that demanded that I get consistent when I decided to try to figure it out. 

I discovered that it's a muscle that can be strengthened like any other. 

Today I'm sharing the basics to help you get started in getting consistent with ANY goal you choose.
