Leading Yourself

I can’t believe we’re already in October. And if you’re anything like me, this time of year comes with two competing thoughts:

On one hand, ‘Wow, the year is almost over.’

And on the other, ‘Wait… I still have so much I wanted to do this year!’

Here’s the good news: you don’t have to wait until January to make a fresh start. In fact, October is the perfect time to refocus, reset, and reignite your goals.

Why? Because you still have 90 full days left in 2025. Ninety days — that’s a quarter of a year. It’s enough time to make meaningful progress. It’s enough time to change your habits, your energy, your health, even your career trajectory.

And today, I’m going to walk you through what I call a 90-Day Power Shift. It’s a way to stop putting your goals on hold for ‘someday’ and start taking powerful action today.

So if you’ve been thinking, ‘It’s too late… I’ll just start in January’ — I want you to lean in. Because it’s not too late. You have time. And what you do in the next 90 days can set you up for an incredible 2026

Don’t Dream Your Life, Live Your Dreams

Today, we’re getting practical.

We’re talking about the skills that will future-proof your career.

Because let’s be honest — the world of work is changing fast.

AI, automation, remote work, shifting industries… it’s a lot. And it’s easy to feel like you’re playing catch-up.

But here’s the good news:

When you focus on building the right skills — the timeless, transferable, human skills — you set yourself up to thrive, no matter what changes around you.

So today, we’re going to break down the 7 must-have skills for today’s job market — and how you can start developing them right now, whether you’re job searching, growing in your current role, or dreaming about your next chapter.

Let’s get into it.

Most people don’t fail because their dream is too big. They fail because their belief is too small.

Do you ever feel like there’s never enough time—like you’re always rushing, catching up, and still falling behind? That’s time poverty, and I’ve lived it too. In this episode I am sharing the five simple shifts that helped me move from feeling time-starved to experiencing what I call time abundance. These aren’t about cramming more into your day—they’re about reclaiming your energy, presence, and peace. If you’re ready to stop racing the clock and start living your time, this conversation is for you.

“True wisdom isn’t in knowing all the answers, but trusting yourself to handle whatever comes.”

Last week we talked about the habits that hold us back — the ones that quietly keep us stuck. And you know me, I believe every coin has two sides. Which means… if there are habits that drain us, there are also habits that can lift us up.

So today, we’re flipping that coin. I’m sharing seven super-simple habits that can transform your day — not months from now, but in just a matter of days. Think of these as micro-shifts, not major life overhauls. Habits you can weave into your routine without adding extra hours, but that create real clarity, energy, and momentum.

Today, I want to talk about something we all wrestle with — habits. But not the good ones like drinking water, moving your body, or journaling. I’m talking about the sneaky habits that keep us stuck.

And here’s the tricky part — these habits don’t always look ‘bad.’ Some of them masquerade as hard work, high standards, or just being realistic. But if you zoom out, you realize they’re the very things holding you back from growth, peace, and progress.

So today we’re going to unpack 8 habits that keep you stuck — and more importantly, how to start breaking free from them.

Because here’s what I know: your future doesn’t change until your habits do.
