In today’s episode, I interview Tina Short, an artist living her version of an extraordinary life. Through parenting twin boys, divorce, and finding her path as an artist, she’s come up against many obstacles. Yet through it all, she’s stayed committed to growing and staying true to herself. 

In this inspiring interview, we chat about following your passion, what it means to be an artist, breaking negative parenting cycles, and the power of community. Yes, we covered a lot! 

Listen now to hear how she’s found connection and happiness, even when life gets hard. 

Coming up next is another interview with another amazing woman. Sue has been part of my Extraordinary Life Group Program for the past year, and I've also been a client of hers for some time! She's a postural therapist, so we talk about what it means to feel good in your body; but also what it means to feel good in your life. 

Some people just seem to go for it, don’t they? It’s almost like they were born with confidence and know exactly what they want and how to get it. I do think some people are born with a little extra oomph, but everyone deserves to feel confident in who they are and where they’re going in life. 

When you lack inner confidence, none of the strategies, ways of thinking, habits, and practical tips to improve your life and feel better about yourself will change much at all. It really has to start with YOU, the deep down, authentic person you are inside. 

The good news is that you can find that true-you and develop inner confidence whenever you decide to, and in this episode I share the two keys to finding it. Because once you are confident in who YOU are, you can get out there and start taking action to create the life you’ve been dreaming of. 

In the next episode, I’m interviewing an extraordinary woman who is living her version of an extraordinary life. I first met Tina while our children were in preschool, but we lost touch once the kids went off to elementary school. I still follow her on social media though, where I’ve witnessed her personal struggles, been in awe of the art she creates, and watched her overcome and keep growing. 

Join me and Tina as we talk about how she balances a full life as a mom and artist, and the lessons she's learned along the way. 

 I talk a lot about why you should set big goals for yourself and how to achieve them faster, but along with those big dreams comes the reality of how to fit them into your already busy life. There are kids to raise, dogs to walk, groceries to shop for, and jobs to go to. 

I get it! It can feel like it’s a lot to take on. 

That’s why in this episode I’m telling not only that you shouldn’t take on everything, but how to take on what matters. Like your dreams. 

I’m sharing ten ways you can work on your dreams without feeling overwhelmed, so you can get more of what you want in life, faster. 

It takes a lot of confidence to go after what you want in life, and that's exactly what I'm talking about in the next episode. Join me to learn the keys to discovering your inner confidence, living your truth, and creating the extraordinary life you deserve. 

I know, I talk about goals a lot. They’re so important to creating your dream life because they give you a direction to go in. After all, how can you get where you want to go without a map to guide you? 

But having a roadmap isn’t the only reason you should set great goals for yourself. The right goal holds a lot of power, and in today’s episode I’m sharing seven surprising reasons you should set goals. Yes, this episode is timed perfectly with the New Year, but goals should be part of your life all year long - and this episode will tell you why. (Number five is one of my favorites!)

Have a listen, then sit down and write yourself some goals! 

This episode was all about WHY you should set goals for yourself, and I hope you're excited to start dreaming big! But along with those big dreams comes the reality of how to fit them into your already busy life. There are kids to raise, dogs to walk, groceries to shop for, and jobs to go to...

You aren't alone in feeling that's a lot to take on, and in the next episode I'm sharing ten (yes, ten!) ways that you can work on your dreams without feeling overwhelmed in the process. 

Have you ever wondered how some people seem to have everything they dream of, while for others their dreams remain unrealized or forgotten entirely? 

It’s not about luck, it’s not about genetics, and it certainly isn’t closing your eyes and wishing.

Rather, it’s all about STRATEGY. 

Taking strategic action is essential to achieving your dream life! In this episode, I’m sharing seven strategies you can use now to help turn your dreams into reality, so you can stop dreaming and start creating the life you want. 

Be sure to listen to the end of the episode, when I share three ways you can get strategic (with me!) about your goals this year. 

I talk a LOT about setting goals, and you probably know they are important to achieving an extraordinary life. But have you ever thought about why they are so important? When you set a great goal, it acts as a lot more than a finish-line that you are trying to cross. Listen to the next episode for seven reasons you should set goals (that you probably never thought of). 

Do you want to reach your dreams faster? Of course you do! So why does it feel like it’s taking so long? One reason might be because you haven’t uncovered your BIG dreams yet. 

It’s essential to be crystal-clear on what your dreams are before you start thinking about your goals, next project, or new year resolutions; because if you haven’t envisioned how you want your life to be, how do you go about creating it? 

In this episode, I’m sharing six questions to ask yourself that will help you get clear on where you want to go, what might be holding you back, and the next steps you need to take to achieve your dream life. 

So grab your journal, and start dreaming! 

Have you ever wondered how some people seem to have everything they dream of, while for others it remains out of reach? In the next episode, I’m going to show you why it’s not a matter of good genetics or luck, but rather all about the strategies you use. I’ll even share seven proven strategies to help you turn your dreams into reality.

Most of the women I work with desire deeper connections in their lives. They want to feel closer to their partner, children, and even their friends, but aren’t sure how to make it happen. 

The truth is that most of our interactions with others are reactions or habits. Someone says “good morning” to you, and you reply the same. Your partner kisses you as they hand you your coffee (how sweet!), and you say “love you”. There’s nothing wrong with this, but there is another way to connect, too. With intent. 

When you learn to connect with intention, your relationships with your loved ones (and everyone else) will become easier, happier, and deeper. It just takes a little positivity.

When you’re living your life with momentum, it means you’re doing a little more every day to move closer to what you want… and do less of what’s holding you back. 

It sounds so simple, yet many of us struggle to maintain momentum even when we briefly find it. It’s frustrating to find yourself in the groove, only to lose it a short time later! So why does it keep happening?  

In today’s episode, I’m sharing four reasons that you fail to create momentum, four fears that are slowing you down, and the positive solutions to counteract them. Once you learn to create momentum, achieving your goals and creating your extraordinary life will be easier (and more fun) than ever. 

In the next episode, I'm sharing how you can become more intentional in connecting with the people in your life, so you can create the relationships you want. 

Your beliefs in who you are and what you can accomplish have everything to do with how successful you are at creating your extraordinary life. Now is the perfect time to start thinking about your own. 

During the holiday season you’ll be seeing more of your family and friends, and these people are the basis for most of the beliefs you have about yourself. Yet these beliefs may not support the life you’re craving, because rather than creating them yourself, they were passed on to you. 

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the three main beliefs that successful people have, along with ways you can cultivate them each and every day in your own life. As you listen, I encourage you to examine the beliefs you have now, and consider if they are true for you. 

The sooner you realize that you DO have control over your thoughts and beliefs, the sooner you can move forward and start creating the life that you want. 

With momentum being one of the ways you can support the beliefs you need to be successful, as well as being one of the High Performance Habits, it is exactly what I’ll be talking about next. Listen to next week’s episode where I’ll be sharing ways you can create a mindset for momentum.

It’s Thanksgiving here in the United States, which is a time to slow down and be grateful for what you have. Despite the season, I hadn’t planned on doing an episode on gratitude, until I realized how much it’s affected my life for the better. 

Yes, I found myself being grateful for my gratitude practice!

Since I began practicing gratitude each day, my life has become more joyful, peaceful, and abundant - and I want that for you, too! That’s why this episode is all about simple ways to integrate gratitude into your daily life.
