Do you ever feel like you have the blahs? Nothing is motivating, exciting, or interesting. You have things to do but don’t feel like doing them, and you’re probably kind of cranky. 

Even though I have all the tools to keep me motivated and striving for my goals, even I get like this sometimes. I think it’s just part of being human! There’s a lot going on in the world and our personal lives, and sometimes it’s hard to feel excited about things. 

While it may be cathartic to wallow in self-pity for a day now and again, I know that I’d rather be out enjoying life. That’s why when I felt like I was in a rut last week, I looked deep into my toolbox for my tried-and-true tips to break that funk. 

Listen in for my best five tips to get out of a rut before the mud hardens and you’re stuck for longer than you like. These are things you can do right now to break the doldrums and start feeling like yourself again. 

Life has a funny way of throwing us challenges and curveballs, and it can be easy to get stressed out over them. In the next episode I'm sharing five tips to help you manage life's stresses so you can be ready the next time you lock the keys in the car, the babysitter is late, or the dishwasher breaks down. 

Life can feel too short sometimes, but not for the guest I’m interviewing this week. In this episode, I’m talking with an extraordinary woman who’s lived many lives in her sixty-five years and is still going! She is a ton of fun and has embraced the seasons and changes that she’s encountered in her life so far with curiosity and open arms. 

Listen in to see how she has entered each stage of her life with creativity and joy. She’s been a dancer, mother of four, teacher, and now a chef and cooking instructor with her own school, The Cosmic Muffin School of Cookery. Each path seems to naturally continue from the one before it, as she consciously welcomes changes and tries new things in life to find a balance that works for her. 

You’ll be inspired by Deborah’s vibrant story, personality, and message to her past self. 

There's no reason to stay unmotivated, grumpy, and uninspired when you don't have to. Tune in to the next episode where I'm unpacking my toolbox of tips for when you're in a rut to help you get out. 

When I dream of living an extraordinary life, it’s one that is overflowing with enthusiasm, engagement, and energy. In this episode, I’m sharing ten proven ways you can create all of this in your own life. I’m talking about the ten human drives that we can learn to activate in order to feel safe, secure, and satisfied. 

Just like last week, I encourage you to follow along and score yourself on each of these drives to see where you’re at now and where you could use a little more spark. It's a great exercise to do when you feel like you're off track and need to find clarity and inspiration. 

Are you ready to charge your life and reach your highest potential? Listen in and get started!

We’re back with another extraordinary woman next week. She’s lived many different lives and walked a variety of paths so far in her life, and she is a ton of fun. Join me in the next episode for some laughter and life lessons from someone who’s determined to live her version of an extraordinary life.

Are you coasting through life, reacting to what happens instead of making things happen? Or are you waiting for the right time, a sign, or motivation to magically appear before you take control of achieving your dreams? If so, this is the episode for you. 

I’m sharing the six habits that the most successful people in the world have in common, and I’m asking you questions to score yourself against them. These habits aren’t meant for only CEO’s and elite athletes - they’re for anyone who wants to take control of their life and start living in alignment with their dreams and goals. 

Maybe you want to be closer to your partner or children, pursue a hobby, or have dreams of traveling the world. Perhaps your successful life includes deeper spirituality or feeling healthy in your body. Whatever it is you want, I can give you a map to get there… but if you don’t know where you’re starting from, the map is of no use. 

Your answers to the questions in today’s episode will help you identify where you are now, and give you a way to track your progress towards everything you’ve always wanted. 

If you loved the six high-performance habits, you're going to love what comes next! In the next episode I'm sharing the ten human drives that are essential to creating an enthusiastic, energetic, and engaged life you love. 

Two weeks ago I shared what you can do to help uncover your big dreams if you haven’t discovered them yet. After I recorded the episode, though, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I finally realized what was bugging me… I need to talk about what a “big dream” is! 

That’s why I’m pulling back the curtain on my own dreams in this episode, sharing how I discovered them, and what I do each day to make them come true. I also let you in on a not-so-secret secret about my dreams that’s going to encourage you to jump in and start imagining yours. 

I can give you the perfect map to get you to your dreams, but if you don't know where you're starting from you'll never get there. In the next episode, I'm sharing the six High Performance Habits, and how you can use them to discover where you're at right now, and how they can keep you on track as you create your extraordinary life. If you feel like you're just floating through life on auto-pilot, this is a must-listen! 

There are very few of us who’ve led charmed, easy lives. Looking back on the life you’ve lived so far, I bet there are many challenges and unexpected obstacles that have got in your way. And yet here you are, the wonderful person you are, in part because you overcame those things. Yet for some reason, when we are looking forward to a big goal or dream, we don’t expect the unexpected. And when it inevitably happens, it can be devastating in the moment. 

In today’s podcast, I’m interviewing an extraordinary woman who dreamed of being a writer as a child. Today, that dream has come true, though not without walking a winding path with unexpected surprises. As she says, her path wasn’t linear, but everything happens for a reason. 

I hope you come away from this podcast with the gentle reminder that the path you are on is meant to be enjoyed, and that you’ll get where you need to be in the end. 

Ever since I recorded Episode 24 I've been thinking about those who haven't discovered their big dreams yet. Since I DO know what my dreams are, I've decided to pull back the curtain and let you peek into how I'm making my dreams come true... and how you can follow my lead. 

I work with a lot of inspiring women who have big dreams and ideas for their lives. But did you know that I work with just as many amazing women who aren’t sure what they want from their lives quite yet? 

Even if you don’t know what your big dreams are right now, you still have the potential to live an extraordinary life. Creating your dream life starts with imagining what it could be, and in today’s episode I’m sharing ways that you can tap into those hidden dreams you have inside. 

If you have a desire to be, do, or have something, then the opportunity exists for you to pursue it. You just need to be open to seeing it. 

I'm back with another interview with another Extraordinary Woman. This time, I'm talking to a writer who has followed her passion from childhood and is now working on her first novel. Her path has been a winding one, but she's yet another example that no matter what life throws at you, you can achieve your dreams. 

When you’re biking a narrow trail on the edge of a cliff, you’re supposed to keep your eyes on the trail. Why? Because your bike will go where you’re looking. If you want to stay on the trail, look at the trail. Optimism is the same thing! Focus on what you want to happen, not the bad things that might happen, and you’re more likely to get them. 

Just this week I came up against an unexpected obstacle, and I could’ve had a little temper tantrum and complained that “this kind of thing always happens to me!”. Honestly, I was annoyed and embarrassed about it all, but rather than throw myself off the cliff I chose to look for the positive side of the situation. I stayed on the trail heading towards my goal.

In today’s episode I’m sharing everything about optimism. Listen in to learn how it influences the path of your life, and how you can learn to be more optimistic starting today. 

The idea of living an extraordinary life is pretty amazing, but what if you don't know what that would look like for you? What if you don't have a dream in mind? It's okay to want more from your life even if you don't know what that looks like yet! We all have to start somewhere, and in the next episode I'm sharing ideas on how you can start to uncover the dreams that are hiding inside. 

In the busyness of life and all of the changes that the pandemic has thrown at us in the past two years, indulging in your passion may not seem practical. At least, that’s what some women were feeling in The Extraordinary Life Tribe last year. They felt guilty wanting more from life when they were already struggling with homeschooling, working from  home, and the constant changes to public health rules. Not to mention regular work and family life! 

In today’s episode, I interview Aria DiSalvio, a wife, mother, and musician who has struggled with those exact feelings. She joined The Extraordinary Life Tribe last year to find clarity on what she wanted her suddenly-paused musical career to look like, and came away feeling more confident in who she is now and who she wants to be moving forward. 

Listen in as we chat about following her passion for music, the lessons she’s learned over the past year, and how she’s raising her children to “go big” with their dreams, too. 

Do you see the glass as half full or half empty? I hope you said "half full", because optimists have a much higher quality of life compared to pessimists. In the next episode, I'm sharing all the reasons we should look for the bright side of things, as well as how you can start living a more positive life today. 

Balance. It’s a word that gets tossed around a lot in the coaching world but especially in life as a woman. “How do you balance it all?” “How can I find balance between love, life, kids, and career?”

Today’s episode talks about TWO types of balance, and what it really means. 

You’ll hear from Sue Butzow, a postural therapist, about the balance of the physical body, and also how she’s becoming more accepting when life throws her curveballs… like how she’s trying to build a business while her children are leaving the nest.

Life will never stop changing; it’s how we respond to those changes that matters the most.  

What happens when you've been living your dream life as a musician and a pandemic shuts your whole world down? Listen in as I interview an extraordinary woman who was faced with this question, and who learned to follow her musical passion even when it didn't always feel practical.
