Listen Later

Author, speaker, and life coach Beth Robbins shares her “Carpe Diem—Seize the Day with a Smile” approach to living with intention. We dig into gratitude-at-night, choice-in-the-morning, turning to-do lists into “to-be” lists, and why tiny wins reshape your nervous system. Beth also reveals the heart behind her new middle-grade book series, helping 13-year-olds navigate confidence, kindness, and courage.

Watch to learn:

• How to set a simple nighttime intention that makes mornings easier

• The “to-be” list that clarifies who you’ll show up as today

• A practical challenge: make 10 people smile

• Why celebrating small wins matters more than you think

• Beth’s mission to get her books into Boys & Girls Clubs
