The Girl Who Can - Increasing Productivity For Women, Finding-Self Confidence, Create A Balanced Life

Happy New Year! To be honest- I have a love/hate relationship with this time of year as everyone talks about "resolutions" and "goals" and everyone is showing up with shiny motivation. While I think this time of the year is a good opportunity to carve out some time to actually think about goals, check your heart, and reflect on what you learned in the past year. I don't want you to forget that you CAN choose to feel this clean slate EVERY DAY. You have the chance to say yes to YOU and make goals every day if you choose to. Which is such a gift! This year my word is "Flourish" and in this episode I walk you through how we can see our life flourish in our finances, health, careers, and more!

- Tips on how to reflect on this past year and how to make goals based off that 

- Remembering that it's okay for your goals to change and why they actually should  

"Protect what you allow your heart to be influenced by". This is something ti constantly try to remind myself of. It can be very easy to be influenced by chaos, overwhelm, anger, or jealously if we're not careful. The overflow of the heart the mouth speaks, and this is a concept I explain in this episode and encourage you to really take inventory of what you might be operating out of. You have the ability to live your daily life from a place of abundance, joy, and happiness. Even if there is chaos around you, listen to the episode learn how. 

There is all this talk about finding your calling and following your passions- which is think is a great concept but can sometimes be taken a bit too far where we can get stuck at spending way too long trying to "figure out" what that looks like for us. We all know this is a space where I am always encouraging you to take action. So lets get out of our heads today and into our lives to start pursuing your calling with who you are today. I promise it can be done!

When you're saying "yes" to something- what are you saying "no" to in return? Sometimes saying yes can come the people pleaser in you, or maybe you genuinely want to help, or maybe you don't know what you want so you just say yes because saying "no" would be mean and make things uncomfortable. In this episode we talk about exercising your skill to say no more often. And yes- its a skill. Because did you know research has proven most people would rather say yes even if they didn't want to just to avoid a awkward situation? I think it's time to put up some boundaries. 

- Questions to ask yourself to know if saying "yes" is more harmful than helpful 

- How to be more clear in your messaging to those around you 

- The importance of boundary setting in order to be able to navigate things that matter to you

Tune into this episode to learn more on these concepts and tools to move forward with confidence.

Hustle, Grind, Work Hard, Sleep When You're Dead- we've all heard it before. And I think for a lot of action takers out there we can sometimes mistake all of these things for what it means to be successful. In this episode Arissa talks about the importance of working hard, putting in the work but also understanding the need to find a balance and flow within your work. Because the moment of drive and spearheading within a business and work come from the moments of intentional rest and stillness. I'm not saying be lazy, or just "do it when it feels good" theres more to the story here.
