  • Reset Intentions

    After this week's triathlon, the number one question I received was, "So what are you training for now?" As someone who's on the go, very rarely do I pause to ask myself "what next?'

    I'm hours away from my First olympic triathlon of the year. Since covid made racing get cancelled last year, I had pregame jitters at the packet pick up yesterday.

    1. What judgement Really is

  • Proximity Matters

    My sister just finished building a brand new house. While she waited for it to finish being built, she's been my neighbor for the last few months. As she closes tomorrow and moves, I think bout how different things will be with her no longer being in close proximity to me. Success works the same way. The closer you are in proximity to your goals, the better chance of a run in with it.

    1. The Radius of Success
    2. Strategies for getting in range of success

  • Avoiding Judgement

    Headlines read, "Simone Biles just completed Yurchenko Double Pike," a move that no woman has ever completed in a gymnastics competition. What is that move, You ask?

    In this episode, we'll discuss:

    1. Determining judgement areas in our lives
