The Abundance Formula Podcast

Happy New Year and welcome to 2024! In this week’s episode, I’m sharing six tips I learned in 2023 from several amazing game changers in the world that changed the outcome of my year. I’m taking these six lessons into 2024 as “focus points” that will guide everything I do this year to make it my most fruitful yet! I’ll be sharing what it means to be in “separation season” and why this will uplevel your 2024, three questions to ask yourself to clear your blocks and a pivotal analogy for when you’re going through a crushing season in your life. I’ll also talk about making moves even when the plan is not fully clear and why staying laser focused on one, maybe two main goals in a particular area is the best way to go. Lastly, I’ll share my “word for the year” and why doing this and choosing several “focus points” for the year have been helpful as opposed to making a bunch of resolutions.

Today’s episode launches my new mini-series both on the podcast and on YouTube called, “Path to Pro” where I give you all the behind the scenes of my journey to becoming a professional athlete. In this episode, I announce when and where my first competition of the season will be, what off-season has looked like for me and how I’ve shifted it since my first call with my legendary coach Kim Oddo. I also share a funny story about what the pursuit of the dream really looks like over here (and it ain’t pretty)! I chat about how I’m juggling all life’s responsibilities and relationships, while not letting my personal aspirations go to the wayside. My hope is that through this mini-series, you can relate to different aspects of my journey, no matter what your big life goals are and that you can find inspiration and comfort in knowing you’re not alone in the messiness of making your dreams become reality.

It’s easy when things are feeling torn down in our lives to get stuck in seeing it from the dark point of view, but in this episode, I challenge you to shift your perspective. I challenge you to recognize that in order for something bigger and better to get built, the foundation might need re-done in order for it to be able to hold what’s designed to rest on top.

On this week’s podcast episode, I bring on one of my really good friends and personal training clients Terra Little. She’s a Mom of two kids ages four and two, she works full time and like many of us, got to a place of exhaustion from a lack of self-investment. She came to me about a year and half ago with the goal of losing weight, tightening and toning, but in a way that could help her make a permanent lifestyle shift. She’d done crash course systems in the past with their short-term results and was ready for something that could truly be achievable in her current season of life. We always have such great conversations during her workouts about the mindset breakthroughs she’s had on this fitness journey, obstacles she learned to overcome, strategies we’ve developed to make things work with her busy lifestyle and tons of other amazing tips that I thought people could benefit from hearing. From this episode, I hope you’ll see yourself in Terra’s journey, know you’re not alone in the challenges you’re facing and learn some valuable tips to be able to finally achieve your fitness goals!

One of my listeners asked me how I manage doing “all the things” especially when it comes to the more feminine energy type things like keeping the house clean, keeping up with laundry, dishes, etc. while being a busy mom, staying healthy and fit and being an entrepreneur. I loved this question because the solution actually draws out a much deeper issue in each of our lives that needs addressed in order to truly feel fulfilled and satisfied. In this week’s episode, I’ll not only talk about the tactical side of how I manage being able to do “all the things,” but dive into the deeper side of how I’m actually able to do all the things: prioritizing my peace. I talk about what this even means, how to get super intentional with your time and daily routine and how you figure out the order of importance of these things. I talk about my breaking point with perfectionism and why it's important to get perspective on the tasks you’re doing and figure out why you’re doing them and if they really contribute to your peace or take away from it. All this and more in this week’s episode!

In this week’s episode, I’ll finally be breaking down for you all how I’ve been able to get so many epic people on my podcast and how I’ve been able to transition many of these same extraordinary people into my personal friendship network. From billionaires, multi-millionaires, Academy Award winners, gold medal Paralympians, professional athletes, best-selling authors and motivational speakers (just to name a few), all these connections came through intentional strategies that I’m excited to share with you! So whether you’re an aspiring podcaster, entrepreneur or just want to up-level your life to a place that better aligns with where and who you want to be, then this episode is for you!

In this week’s episode, we dive into a quote by James Clear that acknowledges the fact that although the events of our past are fixed, the MEANING of our past is not. This means we get to assign VALUE to the things that have happened to us, both good and bad, so they become powerful tools for impact. We talk about turning pain into purpose, trials into testimony and your mess into a message so that no experience in your life is wasted.

Most people come to me for my services because they want a lifestyle change. They’re finally done with the crash course dieting, the temporary quick fixes in life and they’re ready for results that last! For the past 15 years, I’ve developed the craft of teaching people the power of making small, incremental lifestyle changes that snowball into the results they’ve been desiring. In today’s episode, I’ll walk you through the process of learning what it looks like to make small shifts, how to execute the small shifts consistently and finding the appropriate pace to make shift changes. I also dive into a topic many people want to avoid…willpower!
