Jumping to conclusions is a common habit that we all do in some form or another. We fill in the blanks with narratives we create based on a patchwork of assumptions and half-truths. But life is complicated enough without adding extra layers of misunderstanding and misinterpretation to the mix, and jumping to conclusions can lead to stress, resentment, and a life filled with unnecessary drama. 

I share a proven process to help you catch yourself in the act of jumping to conclusions so that you understand why you do it and how to stop it. Hear some questions you can ask yourself to establish where you might be jumping to conclusions in your life, and learn how to use this awareness to approach situations with a new perspective.

How often do you sideline your own needs, because you’re too caught up looking out for others? Whether it’s a conscious or subconscious decision, this is something so many of us do. There's nothing wrong with caring, of course, but the problem lies when you do so in a way that you override or dismiss your own needs in the process. 

I share a huge part of why our needs don’t get met, and reflect on the ways the communities you are part of influence your ability to know, express, and fulfil your needs. Discover how to navigate your needs in a world that often tells us to keep quiet, carry on, and focus on what everyone else needs and wants.

The yin-yang symbol represents the concept of dualism and illustrates how seemingly opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary. The components are interconnected and interdependent, and each gives rise to the other. The same can be said for reflecting and taking action. Understanding the concept of yin and yang can help us know when to push forward to take action and when to pull back and reflect, and this week, I’m showing you how.

Our lives are most enriched when we can find that balance between doing and being. So this week, I offer a mini-lesson in ancient Chinese philosophy and demonstrate how to apply the concept of yin and yang to evaluate and activate aspects of your life. Learn how to embrace both yin and yang and apply them to discover your next best step and take it.

I'm showing you why repeating critical statements to yourself has an incredibly harmful impact and how to stop it. I share an exercise to help you bring awareness to the thoughts you have on repeat that aren’t serving you.

I’m breaking down a vital component from Greg McKeown’s book Essentialism: the concept of Protecting the Asset. Essentialism tries to solve the trap that so many of us are in, trying to do everything for everyone, often without much thought for ourselves. It combats being in a constant state of reaction where your day or life feels constantly hijacked by everyone else’s agendas and demands, leaving little or no time for your own.

Learn more about what protecting the asset means and how it can help you create space for what truly matters in your life. I share some non-negotiable priorities for you when it comes to protecting the asset and show you how to start setting boundaries that enable you to operate at your highest level.
