Ever felt overwhelmed by your career and wondered if there was another way? Our guest today, John Auble, is living proof that it's possible. Once an engineer drowned in the corporate hustle, John took a leap of faith, left his demanding career and carved out his own entrepreneurial path. 

John didn't simply swap a corporate job for his own business - he completely redesigned his life and went from a life of stress and imbalance to one of fulfillment and harmony. We talk about taking risks, moving past limiting beliefs, and remembering your reason why.

Together, we'll explore how you can still be the powerful, capable woman you are, without succumbing to the pitfalls of doing it all.

A big source of suffering in our lives is the gap between our expectations of a situation or a person and the reality of the situation or person - and the bigger the gap, the more the suffering.

The good news is that there is a way to protect yourself from some of that suffering before you even get into the situation or encounter the person. The key: setting realistic expectations.

Join me as we learn to adjust our expectations, allow for pleasant surprises, and side-step some serious stress - even at the DMV.

Routines get a bad rap because they're associated with boredom, but if you use them effectively, the results are anything but boring. I've got some great easy-to-implement routine ideas in this episode that just might transform your life.

Some routines (like my Fresh Start Morning Routine) help you be more intentional and present. Other routines (like planning meals) can free up your brain so you can do all sorts of awesome things that otherwise you might not have had the emotional bandwidth for.
 
Join me as we embrace routines!

My guest today is my friend and former client Tara Perman. When we started coaching, Tara was feeling uninspired with her successful career of 23 years.

She was the primary parent in her household and COVID had taken its toll - she was frustrated with trying to manage everything. She knew she wanted to change careers, but was afraid to take the plunge.

The first thing we worked on was the idea that the fear of change was real and would always be there. Tara learned to move forward with her business while feeling the fear instead of waiting for it to go away. She stuck with her plan to become a career coach, even when it felt hard.

Things changed at home, too. She put in her notice before a family vacation, much earlier than she had previously planned. She fully enjoyed vacation with her family for the first time. She decided to spend the whole summer with her kids, without the stress of working, for the first time.

She marketed her new business even when it felt scary. When she felt stuck, she would just take one tiny step in the direction of her new life.

She now has a successful coaching business and just took a month-long vacation to Europe with her husband and kids for the second summer in a row. 

Tune in and listen to Tara’s full story!

Let's talk about our feelings!

If that makes you want to run away, I get it. I used to not want to talk about my feelings either. But not feeling our feelings cuts us off from information about our lives, makes it hard to connect with others, and ultimately robs us of joy.

In this episode we'll talk about why we should feel our feelings, and how to do that if it doesn't come naturally to you. I have some great tools for you that will help you navigate and deal with your emotions more effectively. 

Our emotions, if we're paying attention, can offer us a wealth of insights. Come along with me on this enlightening journey!
