Owning Her Authority Podcast | For Ascending Women Ready to Boldly Amplify Their Impact

Joining us today is Kristen West, the creative force behind The Centered Life Co. She's on a mission to make our everyday work feel less like hustling and more like FLOW-- less like burnout and more like sustainable joy. She designs planners and tools that make it more fun to get it done, and her hilarious, shame-free videos on productivity have quickly amassed an audience on social media.

In this episode, we tackle procrastination and motivation, explore shame-free strategies for productivity, and delve into the importance of systems over goals.

And most fun of all, Kristen introduces us to the concept of the "Dopamine Menu" for infusing daily life with joy. This is actually what first prompted me to reach out to Kristen, and I can’t wait for you to create your own appetizers, entrees, and dessert menus too!

As we navigate this conversation, I invite you to join in on the excitement and gratitude we both experienced for this heartfelt connection, and stick around for bits wisdom and lots of laughter!

How many times a day do you find yourself thinking the word, "should"?

"I should do the dishes."

"I should be better at this."

"I should want to pursue that goal."

And on, and on, and on.

But this really cool thing happens once you create awareness around how often this word shows up in your intental dialogue, you've given yourself the opportunity to shift your mindset! I know this from personal experience, because after reading Tricia's Huffman's book, F the Shoulds - Do the Wants, I realized just how often I was "shoulding" myself and how it kept me feeling stuck!

So join me and  Author, Speaker, Coach, and Mentor Tricia Huffman for a conversation all about F'ing the Shoulds, Doing the Wants, as we discuss topics like procrastination, perfectionism, and more!

Who's excited to set goals that are exciting, audacious, and actually doable?!
Same here, friend! 👋

I've been studying goal setting for years, and between personal experience and almost a decade of research I've honed in on four guiding principles that I want you to use when choosing your next big, and dare I say - audacious! - goals.

And no, these aren't your run-of-the-mill S.M.A.R.T. goals. While there's absolutely a time and place for them, my approach is a little more heart-centered and intuition-based...and takes into account those times when "life happens," as we know it has a tendency to do! 

My approach to goal-setting includes these four principles. Our goals should be:
❤ aspirational
❤ doable
❤ meaningful
❤ habit-based

So if you're ready to lean into habit-based goals and call your shot then pop in your earbuds, press play, and let's get this party started!
