Welcome to Joyful Corner! Our mini episode each week where we choose to look for and celebrate the good that already surrounds us ❤

This week I'm grateful for rediscovering how much fun it is to read romance novels (and how they're serving as my "buffer book" between my more growth-oriented reads), for the connection I have with my youngest sister, and an upcoming author we've invited to join us for a soon-to-be-released podcast conversation!

So if you too are ready to ditch personal growth overwhelm, get unstuck, and take messy action in the direction of your dreams, then pop in your earbuds, press play, and let's do this!

Guess who's back?!

The Live By Design Podcast has officially returned from my summer sabbatical and today we're preparing to hit the ground running as the FOURTH season of the show starts to drop! 🎉

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on what I've been up to this summer, how digging into our show's analytics gave me insights on the topics we'll lean into this season, and the 3 things you can do today to maximize your listening, learning, and growth experience via the podcast this fall!

Here's a hint 👀: We're going to focus on learning a little less, so that we have the time, space, and energy to implement a little more.

So if you too are ready to ditch personal growth overwhelm, get unstuck, and take messy action in the direction of your dreams, then pop in your earbuds, press play, and let's do this!

Today on the podcast, we are looking at the big picture and talking all about holistic health, primary foods, and how to use the principle of crowding out to move away from undesirable habits and towards healthier ones.

Crowding out is an approach to habit change that focuses on adding in more of the “good stuff” first, instead of using avoidance behavior as a means towards change. As a result of adding in the desirable habits or behavior, the less desirable or unhealthy habits are literally crowded out - there is no longer time or space for them!

If you have been listening to The Live By Design Podcast for any time you know that I LOVE to read, I actually did an entire episode about the value of reading with my 91 year old grandma. I love reading because it provides the opportunity for learning and growth, all from the comfort of your couch!

And not too long ago I re-read the book Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. And gosh, I just love this book. The whole thing is underlined and annotated, and I’ve highlighted almost everything because there is so much goodness in this book.

There’s one excerpt that really spoke to me, because it’s kind of the ethos for the Live By Design Collective and podcast too. My hope is for you to know that the world needs you and your gifts and your unique abilities.

So, if you are ready to trust your goodness, know your enoughness, and make room for joy and ease, then let’s slow down and meditate together.

“Your mindset is a set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation.” verywellmind.com

If you have spent any amount of time online then you have probably heard about mindset. Sometimes mindset can feel a little intangible which is why I took a deep dive this month in the LBD Collective into learning what exactly mindset means and why it does actually matter.

I like to equate the idea of mindset to going to the doctor’s office for an eye exam. Your doctor puts different lenses in front of your eyes, and you have to say which prescription is best. Each set of lenses may be marginally different, but you have to figure out which one is the best fit. 

And I feel as if mindset is similar to those lenses. Your mindset is the lens through which you view the world, and you have the ability to shift them until you find the one that best benefits you.

In today’s conversation, we’ll talk about the six most studied mindsets paying particular attention to the growth vs fixed mindset, and how these mindsets exist on a continuum. Then we finish with how to move towards a growth mindset, why it matters, and the five different ways to shift your mindset going forward.

“Who doesn’t love spreading a little bit of joy and gratitude? And who doesn’t love to be on the receiving end of that too?”

You may remember Garciela Moore who was on the podcast earlier this week talking about hope, joy, and gratitude. Well, after our conversation I received the sweetest, kindest thank you note in the mail from her! She included a few little gifts tucked into the envelope and it was such a sweet, unexpected surprise and I was so grateful for her thoughtfulness!

After receiving Graciela’s kind gesture, it got me thinking about thank you cards and why they make us feel warm and loved as both the sender and the recipient. 

Join me today in this mini episode as I talk about the science and the emotions behind expressing gratitude, as well as a three-step formula on how to write your own gratitude notes.

Are you ready to listen in and learn how to express gratitude? Let’s do this!

The first Monday of each month The Live By Design Collective meets for Growth Night, and it’s one of my favorite nights! In May we took a deep dive into happiness, and not toxic positivity but real, true happiness - and our conversation was so valuable that I wanted to share some of the insights we covered with you too! 

So join me today as we chat about:

• The three categories of happiness: pleasure, meaning, engagement
• The six ways we experience happiness: contentment, gratitude, pride, excitement, joy, and optimism 
• Why studying and intentionally cultivating happiness matters (hint: it’s really good for your health!)
• What the 40% Solution, by Sonja Lyubomirsky, teaches us about the agency we have in creating and experiencing happiness
• And finally, how to cultivate happiness starting today (and for free!)

And when you’re done, grab my free Happiness Bingo card to take your intentional living journey to the next level (and have some serious fun while you’re at it!).

You can find all of the resources mentioned in this episode at
