In this episode, I talk about my relationship with my children. One of the tools that I use to cultivate my relationship with my young sons is to make sure that I have dedicated playtime with them every day.

At the end of my workday, I almost always rally my energy so that I can play the kind of physically energetic games they enjoy playing. I also allow myself to let this playtime look differently when my energy is depleted.

As parents, we always want to give the best of ourselves to our children and we also get to take time to care for ourselves. If you have been struggling to show up with loving-kindness to be there for your children and still honor yourself and your needs, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode I’m talking about relationships. When we think about relationships, most of the time we think about relationships with other people, like relationships with our children, our significant others,  our close friends, or our other family members.

The relationship that we oftentimes don't think about much is the relationship that we have with ourselves.  It turns out that the relationship we have with ourselves impacts all of our other relationships that we have with other people.

Your most important relationship is always the relationship you have with yourself.

What are you doing to nurture it?

If you aren't filling up your cup with overflowing kindness, you won't have love and kindness to share with others. Since showing up for others with love and kindness is essential for who I want to be in my relationships, first I must show up with love and kindness for myself.

If you’ve been feeling a need to take better care of yourself, the answer could be in learning to cultivate your relationship with yourself. If this resonates with you, this episode is a must listen.

Have you ever made a decision that would affect your entire life?

Did you feel scared that you might not triumph? 

In this episode, I go over the importance of trusting yourself to make the right decision. When you have thoughts of turning back because you do not know exactly how you are going to achieve your end goal, you must have the “I can figure it out” mentality.

In January 2017, my husband, Jason, and I made a big decision that we were going to start my own law firm. Not only was it an exciting decision but it was a scary one because I knew that there were a lot of things that I didn't know about starting a law firm and that we were going to have to figure those things out.

Take a listen to learn the steps you can take to trust yourself and what it took for me to take this leap within my business and life.

If you’ve ever taken criticism to heart, this episode is a must-listen.

With so much ease of communication due to all the social media platforms and communication devices, it is common to read comments that at times might not be conducive to maintaining our well-being. In your everyday lives, there might also be people who use their words to tear you down. 

In this episode, I expand on a quote from Theodore Roosevelt that talks about stepping into the arena, and disregarding criticism from those who aren’t even brave enough to step into the arena that you’re in. 

If you’ve been feeling down or that you’re struggling to prioritize your own well-being, I invite you to listen in, and learn what action you can take that will help you to stop listening to cheap seat criticism.

Living and speaking your truth requires letting go of the fear that you are an imposter who is about to be found out. In this episode, I talk about imposter syndrome. 

Imposter syndrome generates feelings of self-doubt and can result in anxiety and oftentimes in depression. The more successful one gets, the greater the inner turmoil can become. Looking deeper, imposter syndrome is rooted in a sense of perfectionism and a fear of failure. In reflecting upon an article on imposter syndrome I read, I remember feeling like an imposter as a brand new lawyer. I share with you my journey and the steps I took to overcome feeling like an imposter. 

Listen in to learn about the time I encountered imposter syndrome and what you can do to overcome imposter syndrome, speak your truth, and live unapologetically.

In this episode,  I am diving further into beliefs and speaking specifically about the belief in abundance. Choosing to see the world as filled with abundance and opportunity is just that, a choice. Every day, each of us gets to choose where we will focus our energy. Even in this strange time we're living in right now, there is still an opportunity to choose an abundant mind state over a scarcity mind state. That's not to say that scarcity won't creep in. It creeps in for me sometimes.

When the stay-at-home orders started to become law in California and I could no longer operate my law office at the brand new office space I had just expanded into on March 1st, 2020, my first instinct was to feel scarcity.

Listen to this episode to learn how I navigated away from scarcity, towards abundance, and so that you can learn two simple tools you can use to develop your belief in your ability to create an abundant life.

In this episode, we are focusing on beliefs and specifically, I address the important belief that you are capable of focusing on what you can control.

When you believe that you can focus on things that you can control, it unlocks so much and gives you freedom to really accomplish a great deal more than you otherwise would be able to.

The contrast to this empowering belief is focusing on the things that you cannot control and when you spend a lot of your energy focusing on the things that you cannot control, you miss out on incredible opportunities to actually change the things that are within your control.

When COVID-19 hit, I turned to leaders that I follow, including Michael Hyatt, for guidance as a business owner. 

Now having implemented that guidance, everyday I feel deeply satisfied when I realize that I've taken action on the things that I can control and that I've not spent my precious energy worrying about the things that I just can't have any control over. Listen in to learn more about the lessons I learned, and how you too can start focusing on the things you can control.

On April 17, 2021, I turned 40 and one way I’m celebrating is by starting a new series for the Business Mamas Podcast! I've been taking time to reflect on my life up to this point because 40 years is a lot of years to have been alive, to have human experiences, and I feel so grateful to myself that I've been giving myself the time and space to really reflect.

I am a really organized person and so when I can break down things into organized concepts, it helps me be able to understand what's going on with me and also for me to be able to identify things in a way that I can then use them in the future. So, one of the gifts that I've given myself and that I'm also now sharing with you is some conceptualization and organization of all of these practices that I've been putting in place that have really led to enhanced well-being for me.

I believe that it's in focusing on these areas: my beliefs, my relationships, and now more recently also in making heart-guided decisions, that this is bringing about a new sweetness in my life that I hadn't fully experienced before.

Let's explore these questions together: 

Is there a belief system that you need to work on some more?

Or is there a relationship, maybe with yourself or maybe with someone else, that is causing some discomfort that needs attention?

Or is there a heart-guided decision that you know you need to make but that you have been putting off?  

In this episode, I also share resources that I’ve used from Christine Hassler and Cara Alwill that have helped me remind myself of the incredibly important belief that I am enough.

This episode is a story about how beautiful and peaceful end of life can be when you know your own worthiness and have lived a life filled with love. It’s about learning to cultivate the worthiness we seek in our lives now and want to experience in our final days. On September 9, 2019, my grandfather, who was one of the kindest human beings that I have ever known, took his last breaths. I reflect on my grandfather’s life and the lessons I learned from him. I hope you’ll listen in and embark on a journey to cultivate self-compassion and to claim your worthiness.

Imagine the beauty in the world, in ourselves and in others that is available to be awakened by following our hearts, and by taking the leap even when it cannot always be justified by logic. In this episode, I talk about the times in my life when I’ve followed my heart.

Is there something calling on your heart that you can say yes to, even if you can’t justify or figure it out with logic? I challenge you to take a step toward it and see where that takes you.
