Stress happens. However, it’s often the symptom instead of the cause of what’s going on in your mind. You can use your stress productively to create progress, but before you do that you have to recognize if you’re in stuck stress mode. 

In this episode, I talk about how to identify stuck stress in yourself and the tools you need to transform it into productive stress.

4:53 - Three ways to know if you’re in stuck stress

10:55 - Three reasons why you’re in stuck stress mode

15:03 - Other ways stuck stress can affect you mentally and emotionally

16:58 - What productive stress looks and feels like

19:28 - How to get to the productive stress stage

24:08 - What to do if you want to get to a place of zero stuck stress

I’ve used planners and systems to help me plan for pretty much all of my adult life. I had one of those skinny pocket planners that were once all the rage and even was an early adopter of the Palm Pilot from the 90s. For the last few years, though, I’ve fully embraced The Full Focus Planner system. 

In this episode, I discuss how this system can allow you to plan, schedule, and raise your productivity and happiness with whatever you choose to do on a consistent basis.

We want everything to be easy, comfortable, and efficient. Organization aligns with all three, but getting organized requires clear thinking. Your mind itself has to be clear and organized enough for your life and business to follow. If so, then you’ll be way ahead of most people. In this episode, I walk you through a metaphor for the brain I like to use to explain why clear thinking is so incredibly valuable.

5:30 - The effect of an organized mind on the planning process

9:34 - What actually creates memories and why your memories are fluid choices

“I just need to plan more.” Do you really, though? Regardless of the time of year, I often hear people say this.

Today, I share the differences between plans and schedules and how they go together in helping you figure out what you want to attend to.

We’re talking about this now, in the middle of summer because as we move into fall, you’ll crave a fresh plan and schedule. You may even believe you’ll be happier, and that everyone in your household would be happier. This is 100% possible.

8:33 - Why you shouldn’t confuse planning with scheduling (or vice versa)

How long does it take you to make a decision and act on it? Maybe a little too long?

In this episode, I’m teaching you how to go through a high-value growth cycle that will help you make decisions, implement them, and evaluate them to create more and more breakthroughs in your life and business. 

When you experience growth, you always go through the messy middle stage. This is when things feel really hard and like nothing is going to work out. On the other side of the messy middle is a breakthrough, but you have to push through to reach it. How much easier would that be if you had a process to follow? That’s what I’m sharing with you in this episode. 

If you’re struggling to make decisions, it’s probably because you haven’t made enough of them. Like any skill, decision-making gets easier with practice, so let’s practice! I'm describing what a high-value growth cycle (or breakthrough cycle) looks like and how completing these cycles moves you towards the results you want. 

If you want to create more breakthroughs, this is for you.

Do you have a goal that you’re struggling to reach? 

Here’s a question that might help: where are you starting from? If you’re not sure where you’re at right now, it’s going to be almost impossible to plan how to move forward. You have to know where you’re starting from. 

In this episode, we’re talking about why it’s so important to figure out your starting point, why this step is so often overlooked, and how to do it. I want you to get crystal clear on where you’re at right now so that you can begin to grow. 

I’ve noticed that this is a highly underestimated part of developing and growing as a human, so maybe you’ve never even thought about it before. And that’s okay because we’re going to start with the basics! Everything you need to know is in this episode.

It’s important to note that this is not about judging yourself for where you’re at, but fully embracing it. There’s nothing wrong with where you are right now. 

If you’re not sure where you’re at right now, this episode will help you figure it out.

How often are you dismissing your options before you even have a chance to explore them? 

This episode is a guide to accessing all your options. When you’re on autopilot, your brain is going to accept the options that seem realistic, familiar, and safe. In order to actually explore all your options, you have to make a choice to pause and engage your higher brain.

You have to be willing to ask yourself important and powerful questions to even begin to see all your options. In this episode, I’m taking you through the process of searching for options and ideas so that you can see what it takes to go beyond the easy answers and find out what’s really possible for you. 

If you want to find out what options are available to you, don’t skip this episode.

In a perfect world, what would you really want?

This is one of the most important things for you to know. 

Knowing what you want is very different from knowing what you think you can have. Usually, I have to ask my clients what they would want “in a perfect world.” Only then do they dare let themselves dream about what they really want. I’m here to tell you that it’s okay to want what you want. I’m teaching you how to let go of your inhibitions and dare to dream big. 

I have seen so many women hide their truest desires from themselves and I don’t want you to be one of them. 

Tune in to this episode and together we’ll find out what you really want.
