Writing your LIFE STORY has been a common inspirational catchphrase in the personal development world for a long time. Though it is positive and inspiring, you get stuck on the term "life story" and the mental block gets in the way of knowing really how to rewrite your story to be happy, healthy, and fulfilled.

This leads to confusion, stagnation, and frustration because you feel inspired and have goals but don't know what to do to start toward them.

This episode teaches you the simple psychology behind this mental roadblock and how to think totally differently about your life and the story of your life that you have the power to mold, design, and write that is most fulfilling and successful. 

Remember: your life story is play-doh, not cement...

Why are museums so appealing?   Because they always show us something NEW. We get stuck in routines because our brains crave predictability, but routines prevent us from evolving. And we need to evolve in order to live a fulfilling, happy, and healthy life.  If you are feeling stuck in a rut, dissatisfied with an area of your life, or like something is just not working, this episode offers a super simple solution that will relieve your stress, stimulate your brain, and help you find balance in an overly-scheduled, routined life.

If you want to design the "dosage" and this balance for your own life, schedule a free coaching session with me at https://www.thetailoredquill.com/freesessioninfo.

Ever have that creeping suspicion that something just isn't right?  That something is somehow off in your job or your relationships or your personal life?  You can't put a finger on it but it starts to really nag at you.  It means you are questioning your reality.

That can be extremely scary - and lead people to emotional crisis or even suicide - but it is simultaneously an indication that you have a beautiful desire to grow.  In this episode, I discuss this phenomenon of your reality in more detail and share a simple way for you to avoid the crisis and lean in to the growth so that you make healthy and fulfilling changes in your life.

So you're stressed out, and you have some free time to go do some self-care activities and relax. The problem is that there are too many options. You think of a bunch of ideas in your head of what to go do, but you're stressed so it's hard to decide. Then you waste time overthinking and don't end up doing anything, which stresses you out even more. Worse, you didn't get to relax. 

It's hard to know what self-care to do when the time comes that you need it the most. This episode presents a simple and brilliant way to shortcut that indecision and choose the perfect form of self-care for exactly that moment. It's infinitely customizable to you, and will inspire confidence and empowerment in your ability to take care of your self and your mental health.

We naturally believe that quitting an unhealthy job and starting a new job will reset our energy and we will immediately be happy and healthy. But that is not how bodies or energy works.  Similar to how we experience depression as a result of enduring stress or anxiety, we need to recover from the high amounts of negative energy we stored up in our last job. 

This episode is a cautionary tale of how switching jobs can cause depression and what you need to be aware of in order to protect yourself, your energy, and your sanity starting your new job.

If you are one of the many who is looking for a new job or going through this transition and you want to avoid the potential depression, you can schedule a free coaching session with me by going to https://www.thetailoredquill.com/freesessioninfo

Many of you are changing jobs right now because something is missing in your old job, other than the fact that you may hate it, dread it, or are burnt out by it.  As exciting as it is to change jobs, it is a mistake to think that the clean break, grass-is-greener mindset that starting the new job will solve all of your unhappiness.  You will only bring all the underlying stress and anger and baggage with you into the new job and will remain unhappy and exhausted. 

In this episode, I walk you through a fascinating and critical 3-Step process that helps you systematically let go of the last job and healthily prepare for the new one, granting you so much peace, confidence, clarity, and empowerment as a result. 

I hope you enjoy this awesome system and that it will help you in your exciting life transition. If you would like help implementing this system in your own job change, schedule a free coaching session with me at https://www.thetailoredquill.com/freesessioninfo

SPOILER ALERT: A major lesson from all the Star Wars movies is that humility after you have made mistakes can lead to your greatest success.  

Not only that, humility can have a huge positive effect on your mental health and life satisfaction, while its opponent, arrogance, can actually cause you pain and ruin your relationships and career.

This episode dives into how both can dramatically affect your life and your health, and also explores how you always have the choice of how to use your extraordinary amount of personal power to affect the people and world around you.

If you want to embrace humility and grow stronger from what you call a failure, or to use your unique power to serve good in the world, schedule a free coaching session with me at www.thetailoredquill.com/freesessioninfo 

Ideas are great. They help us innovate, grow, succeed, and survive as a species. But ideas can be damaging too. Unhealthy belief systems can hold us back and keep us from achieving happiness and fulfillment. Since they can do good and harm, we have to be very very careful what ideas we attach ourselves to. This episode discusses the two faces of ideas, the dark side of our attachments, and how we can make sure to follow and create the most healthy ideas for us in our lives so that we can guarantee our happiness and fulfillment.
