This week's episode of the podcast is PERFECT for the last episode of one of the craziest years of our generation. Why? Because almost all of us have experienced burnout, if not this year, at some point in our life.

Emily  Ballesteros is a burnout management coach. She helps busy professionals create work-life balance so that they have time to enjoy their lives, relationships, health, and personal joys. She discusses the three types of burnout we can experience and shares SO MANY practical tips we can apply to our lives right away.

Emily and I also discuss the history of the 40-hour workweek and why we as a society need to shift to working fewer hours. You don't want to miss this episode!

This week I share what I have learned about why you should invest in yourself. I also share tips that have personally helped me make the shift to investing in myself as much as possible!

I want us all to go for it in 2021, and so often I see people holding themselves back because they are afraid of investing in themselves when actually, investing in themselves will get results much quicker and faster.

Sound like you? Take a listen and let me know if it helped! And if it did... what would you like to invest in yourself that's going to give you a "winning" result this year?! Please, don't hold yourself back!! Let's do this!

Our guest on the podcast today is Heather Knox of @projectsomos. She and her husband Greg founded this amazing children's village, and she shares their journey from a desire to make a difference, to idea, to execution, to adaptation, and more! I have witnessed them grow this project from the ground up, and I'm beyond honored to know them and call them friends. This is truly an example of what is capable when you listen to your intuition and believe.

And guess what?! From now through the end of the year I'm donating 10% of my sales to the project!! I am so happy to give back in this way, so if you have ever been curious about working with me... now is the time to hop on a call and see if it's a good fit for your needs. You take action on your goals and we get to help out this incredible nonprofit in the process. I can't wait!!

Today we are joined by Speech Pathologist, Kelley Davis. Kelley recognized a few years into her career that she needed to cut back to part-time hours so she wouldn't get burnt out and be able to sustain the passion she had for the work she does.

After years of working part-time, Kelley realized she needed to make another shift where she was more in control of her schedule. She put this off for soooooo long because she didn't see a clear path for continuing work in a niche she loved while still having the schedule she desired...

Spoiler alert... Kelley finally made the shift and everything started to align in ways she didn't imagine! You don't want to miss this episode!
