Today, I'm talking about how easy it is to get into a rut when you prioritize other people's expectations over your own and look for outside validation. (I'm raising my hand on this one!!)

I'm also talking about the first two steps that I took to get out of the rut I felt myself fall into with my marriage, creativity, life... everything.

The goal of this episode is to help you not chalk tough topics up as "politics" and letting yourself off the hook for growth. This one is a bit different than normal episodes and was inspired by a recent conversation on a Facebook Group thread. 

We'll talk more in-depth about living as your higher self and how to make difficult decisions as her, how living through your core values is the key to finding yourself, and more!

Check out today's journal prompts over on Instagram @NotANiceGirlPodcast

If you've tried vision boards, manifesting, gratitude journaling, affirmations or even new systems/routines and you feel like nothing is working, there's one reason why.

Join me on the podcast as I talk about how it's not that you don't *believe* enough, but simply that you don't think of what you're trying to create as a fact. 

Check out the pod on Instagram @NotANiceGirlPodcast to grab the journal prompts that go along with today's episode! If you're ready to take what we talk about on the podcast and apply it permanently, then book a consultation call with me here. 

In this episode, I'll discuss the two reasons that learning how to ask for help has been challenging and what action steps you can take to overcome them.

With a new year comes a few changes and this podcast is one of them! Welcome to the newest version of the podcast, NOT A NICE GIRL. In it, we're talking all about dropping labels and self-doubt that keeps you stuck and living authentically.

In this episode, I'm chatting with you about how I used to pride myself on being a nice girl and what I sacrificed in order to do so. I'm also talking about what the word means and how it's been holding you back from living with kindness and dreaming big.

Today, I'm talking about the ONLY New Years Resolution you need to set and keep for yourself: only doing things that are true to who you really are (not who you think you should be or what you're expected to be). 

Essentially, we're talking about how having "live authentically" is the only goal you need to set because it will help you take the necessary actions to improve your life in all the ways you truly want.

You have a natural compass that guides you to make actions that help you grow, and to keep you from burnout. We all have it, except, a lot of us ignore it or try to bury it with binging tv (I'm guilty of that!), drinking excessively, overeating or emotional shopping. 

Today on the podcast, we're talking about how to interpret your emotions (no matter if they're positive or negative) and use them to better tune into what you need.

When you think about reaching your goal, what is your motivation to get there? Is it the excitement from the future possibilities? Or is it fear of not making it? 

In this episode, we’re talking about the different types of motivation you can use to compel yourself to take action on your goals and how you're probably using Anti-Inspiration Motivation.

Check out more resources that go along with the episode on today's shownotes.

If you're ready to stop DIY-ing your better life and want to make an action plan and STICK to it, book a free call with me.
