  • How to reduce your stress and be happier today

    Deep breathing isn't going to get rid of your stress

    At least not in the long run
    While things like deep breathing, meditation, and gratitude might help lower stress levels temporarily
    They are a temporary distraction from the negative emotions you have about a problem in your life
    And since that problem still exists
    Your stress is going to come back
    Pretending that gratitude solves everything not only invalidates the very real problems you are dealing with but it also doesn't solve anything
    The real way to lower your stress levels is to address the root cause of the problem
    And then empower yourself to take one small step in the direction you want to go in
    This will not only reduce your stress levels, but also leave you feeling empowered, more confident, and more in control of your life.
    Here's what we talk about in today's podcast episode:
    - Being stuck in rumination and feeling helpless about your problems
    - Why gratitude, meditation, and deep breathing isn't the solution to your stress
    - Don't distract yourself, take action instead
    - Why you should focus on the problem - but in a healthy way
    - Empowering yourself and taking back control of your life

  • Believe in yourself and reach your goals

    Here's what's in today's episode:

    - The difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset
    - How we can get better at things over time, even if we aren't good at them at first
    - The new thing I'm doing that requires a growth mindset
    - Believing that it's possible to do the thing you are trying to do
    - Finding proof to help you believe you are capable of doing the thing you're trying to do
    - Believing that you can do (and have done) hard things

  • High Performance Mindset

    Here's what's in today's episode:

    - Why you need to start before you're ready
    - Take action and the confidence will come

  • High performance habits for reaching your goals

    My morning routine looks a bit unusual for an entrepreneur

    It's not an ice bath. Or yoga, meditating for hours, or even
    journalling.
    My morning routine looks like this:
    Get up. Shower. Get ready for work. Go to work
    Not typical for an entrepreneur, I know.
    But I've found that it's the system that works best for me.
    Because I don't want to wait to do the actual work that will move the needle.
    I want to get started right away.
    I want to optimize my performance. Implement routines and habits that create momentum.
    And reach for my goals daily.
    If you've found yourself trying - and abandoning - various morning routines, this week's podcast episode is going to be right up your ally.
    Because today, we're talking about high performance habits that will *actually* help you reach your goals.
    Here's what we talk about:
    - Reverse engineering and asking how you can get closer to your goals
    - Why you should only be working in 2-3 hour time blocks
    - Getting 1% closer to your goals every day
    - Drive the car - even when you're scared
    - What to do on the bad days that will keep you moving in the right direction
    - Why perspective is so key to your success

  • You have to fight for your dreams

    This week's episode is FIERY so get ready for it 🔥🔥🔥

    Here's what we're talking about this week:
    If you want to reach your dreams, you're going to have to FIGHT for it
    Listen, I get that we all need a break sometimes. It's good and important and so very needed sometimes to rest.
    But. BUT.
    We also need to be holding ourselves accountable.
    Accountable to the promises we made to ourselves. To the things we say we want. To our dreams and goals. To what we envision our lives could look like.
    Because here's what I realized recently:
    I've been making a whole lot of excuses for simply not doing the work.
    And I've been hiding it behind "resting". But that won't ever get me where I want to go.
    To reach our biggest, boldest dreams - we're going to have to FIGHT for it
    We have to take the actions that align with our goals. We have to push ourselves to get it there.
    No one else can hold you accountable to your dreams. It has to be you.
    Fight for it. And never, ever give up on your dreams. LFG.
    Here's what we talk about:
    - The excuses I've been making for myself
    - Why gratitude isn't always the answer
    - Empowering yourself by taking action
    - Why you need to call yourself out on your bad behaviour
    - Your dreams will require a sacrifice

  • 4 ways to get a better sleep

    Chasing your dreams and pursuing your goals is nearly impossible when you're not sleeping

    I've been dealing with sleep issues for the better part of a year
    Some nights I was only getting 1-2 hours of sleep.
    Which, of course, has limited my productivity. My ability to think clearly, make good choices for my health and, well, be a functioning human being. Insomnia does not mess around - it affects every single area of your life.
    So the idea of chasing my dreams and pursuing my goals? That's been made even more challenging by not sleeping.
    But the good news is that:
    I think I've figured it out and found a system that works for me
    Now, I'm sleeping longer (horray for 8 hours!) and getting a better quality sleep than I have my entire life.
    So today I wanted to share with you the top 4 things that have helped me get a better sleep, in the hopes that it will help someone else out there that is struggling with lack of sleep.
    Here's what we talk about:
    - The struggles I've had with sleep over the past year
    - The things that *didn't* work for me
    - Why magnesium isn't the solution for me personally
    - Why I wanted to find non-pharmaceutical ways to sleep
    - The surprising things that *actually worked* to help me get a longer, better, and more restful sleep consistently
