Pursue You

We have all had our lives impacted in one way or another by this quarantine. However, it has allowed us to see a life from a different perspective. My husband and I chatted about the phrase "new normal." Instead I want you to think about your "BEST normal." All the things you are decided to invest your time in become your life. Don't be a bystander. I want to help you build your best normal.

One of my favorite quotes is "don't compare your insides to other peoples outsides." I have always found myself comparing myself to others, not so much in a way of being better than others, but learning from others to be my best. I have always wanted to reach my maximum potential. After a lot of work over the past decade, I have been able to name my never-good-enough feelings and emotions that I was unable to pinpoint before. I have come to accept that the path I have taken in life is that path that was meant for me.

Every small decision we make is powerful. Every accomplishment or achievement is a result of a series of smaller choices. No small action will make a difference on it's own. But, it will set you up to take the next small step and then the step after that. When we take smalls steps, they are less intimidating. And when they are less intimidating, we are more likely to do it. It is the constant consistent progress that brings confidence. That brings joy. That inspires us to want to continue that small but mighty progress. Today's episode is inspired by a bike ride I took last week and seemed so fitting to share because of where we are in the world today. Long story short, a simple trip outside to play outside the snow with my daughter evolved into a brisk jog up a main road while she biked alongside me…all because of a few small decisions!

Today I am chatting about a very important topic: Expenses. Whether you own a business or manage the business of your home, expenses matter! They are especially important with what we are going through right now. I am sharing my keys on how to get real with your expenses to allow you to survive (and thrive) in this challenging time.

Today we are going to talk about work-from-home hacks. This quarantine life has thrown us for a loop in so many ways but one of the biggest ways (especially for those of us that are used to working outside our home) is being thrown into working from home! As a Realtor, I spent many of my days working from home so I definitely feel I have a lot of experience with this. I want to share some of it with you so you can learn to navigate how to work from home: How to set expectations, design your days and communicate with those in your world and become the most efficient and productive.

I am so excited to share with you my friend Katie Henderson Clark. I just knew she would bring such value to all of you, especially during all of the new stress in our environment as we are all impacted by this quarantine. I personally know that I work so hard designing my days and weeks so that I am releasing my best self. That is very much shaken up right now. I hope you are ready to release the power of your minds in any situation that we face and especially in the situations and environments we are facing right now…in active quarantine.

What a time we are in! I try my hardest to keep my episodes "evergreen," which means, no matter when you listen to them they are relevant and valuable. And then the Coronavirus entered our world. It is dramatically affecting the way we are living. In Episode 27, I discuss this pandemic and chat about what I am personally going through in the hopes that you might relate. It may not be "evergreen," but it applies in any challenging situation. I want to discuss how you might grow from fear to faith; from helpless to empowered. I am taking you along on my journey and discuss what this experience has been like for me.

On Episode 26 I discuss 5 Steps to Rock Your Morning Routine! I have been practicing better sleep habits for some time now and have been prioritizing sleep. I never realized the impact not getting enough sleep was impacting my body and the way I was interacting with those around me. I discuss 5 steps I have found greatly impact how I create a productive morning routine and how it has impacted my days and my life.

On Episode 25 I discuss a topic may be something some of you are experiencing: "What To Do When You Are No Longer Motivated By "Money." Notice "money" is in quotes because I want to use it as a placeholder. "Money" is basically whatever has motivated you in the past but it is now "empty." You could be motivated by fame or fear of failure, for example. However, there can come a point when your motivation can shift from a healthy motivation to something empty. Today I want to discuss what you can do if you are lacking motivation or no longer motivated by "money."

Today's episode is inspired by Mother Nature/Daylight Savings Time! This past year, especially, I have been so in tune with how daylight affects my nighttime routine. So many people talk about waking up SO early to get everything done! That never worked for me. I would wake up exhausted and, by the end of the day was beat! This year, I had the simplest revelation: a smart nighttime routine! You can't have a strong morning routine until you have a strong nighttime routine! I am sharing 5 steps that helped me make my nighttime routine extra productive! So even if my morning routine hasn't been great, I am setting myself up for a great next day!
