Kandid Conversations

Today is my birthday and  I'm talking about:

• Grieving the life I thought I should have. 

How do you need to show up differently this year? Where do you need to give yourself permission to explore, experience, and grow? Chances are, your success at achieving your goals lies in the permissions you give yourself.

Giving yourself permission starts with developing a routine for transforming your outdated and limiting thoughts into actions that help you turn your goals into action. In this episode, we discuss permission slips you need to start with to make success happen.  

'Tis the season, for creating vision boards but here's my thing, vision boards featuring pretty pictures of dream vacations, money signs, affirmations, and yearly themes are cool, but if you don't know how to execute them daily, what's the point? In today's episode, I discuss:

• Why you should embrace an execution board vs. a vision board.

In this episode, I share a 5-minute gratitude exercise to help you train your mind to grow through the ups and downs of life. You can practice it solo or even with your family. 

While many situations cannot be changed, how you receive them can be changed. Finding gratitude in the present moment, as well as giving thanks ahead of time for what's to come are powerful ways to build your courage and confidence muscle and set specific goals.

While we often think a lack of motivation OR time is the challenge preventing us from achieving our goals, the real issue is our unrealistic expectations about what it takes to focus and get it done. In this episode, I share: 

• Causes for a lack of motivation

Sometimes, you think you need a permission slip to change, stop or continue the pursuit of your dreams or aspirations. And then you meet Ahyiana Angel, a woman committed to helping you unapologetically press rest in your life and career.  

Ahyiana Angel is the host of The Switch Pivot or Quit Podcast, author of several fiction and non-fiction works--including her recently published book Quit Playing Small and founder of  Mayzie Media, a podcast production company. 

Because of her track record of success and dedication to her craft, Ahyiana has been invited to speak at companies and conferences including Google, Spotify, Create & Cultivate, Tech Inclusion, and the Werk It Festival.

Today we have a kandid conversation about how to quit playing small, build meaningful relationships, and show up anyway despite what might be happening around you.

Sarah Morgan is one of the best examples of what it takes to show up and lead imperfectly.

As an HR Expert and Executive, Sarah talks leading employees in the workplace, while battling and sharing her own issues with anxiety and depression. She also talks candidly about juggling her commitment to taking care of her five children and husband while feeding her ambition to teach other companies how to create more inclusive and equitable workplace culture through her own consulting company BuzzARooney.

OH and —she’s my client who I couldn't be more proud and happy to share how she managed to find the courage to own her voice and position herself as a leading authority in speaking up about racism, microaggressions, and pay equity.  

If you've ever wondered "why them and not me? OR you've had a moment when you hear about a friend's success and you're secretly unhappy about it because this is the type of lifestyle, characteristics or relationships you want-welcome to the world of what it means to be envious. While envy is considered a negative or shameful emotion, envy like happiness, gratitude, and joy is a natural part of the human experience.

Failing to embrace and transform envy can prevent you from stepping into the next best version of yourself. 

In this episode of Kandid Conversations, I share how I stopped feeling envious of my friend's success and ways you can turn envy into positive momentum in your life and career.
