October 30, 2023 Ep. 85: Having Unwavering Belief in Yourself
I've been asked a lot recently, if there was one success strategy I could recommend everyone implement, what that strategy would be. But I don't believe there is really one single success strategy that will work the same for everyone. Because everyone is wired differently, and because everyone has different motivations and different skillsets, different strategies become important for different people. However, there is one key mindset that I do believe everyone needs to have - if you have been gifted a vision or a dream that you feel called to bring to existence, you need to have an unwavering belief in yourself and your ability to make that vision a reality. Belief is the one thing that will carry you through when you experience doubts, when you encounter obstacles, and when other people question your vision and your journey. Having an uwavering belief in your ability to create whatever it is you have a vision to create is the most important key to achieving the dreams that you're wanting to achieve.

October 25, 2023 Ep. 84: Leave Space for the Magic!
Anytime you're faced with deciding whether to say yes or no to an opportunity, you need to consider the opportunity cost. Because saying yes to one thing means you're saying no to something else.
After you've considered the opportunity cost and you've made your decision, it's important to remember that "No" is a complete sentence. And it doesn't require an apology.
And regardless of which opportunities you choose to say yes to, and which ones you choose to say no to, make sure you leave space in your life for the magic!

October 24, 2023 Ep. 83: You Have to Have Money to Make Money... Or Do You?
You've heard the phrase - It takes money to make money!
But is it true??
Do you really have to HAVE money to MAKE money??
In today's episode, I tell you why I say NO!
In all fairness, there is value to having money to be able to invest in the coaching and the resources to be able to make money FASTER. But that doesn't mean that's the only way. There is no shortage of free information out there, if you are willing to put in the time and the energy to find it.
And after today's episode, you will no longer be able to use the excuse that you can't make money simply because you don't have money to start with. That's right - no more excuses! Let's get to work!

October 23, 2023 Ep. 82: Positive Thinking vs. Toxic Positivity
In today's episode, I talk about the dangers of toxic positivity. I talk about what it is and how it leads to shame, guilt, inauthentic relationships, and unhealthy coping mechanisms. It threatens a person's ability to regulate emotions in a healthy way, and, at its most extreme, can even be abusive or used as a gaslighting tactic.
Toxic positivity devalues a person's emotions and dismisses a person's real experiences.

October 20, 2023 Ep. 81: The Perfectionist Mindset
Today's episode is about perfectionism. So many of us struggle with perfectionist tendencies. It's the "all or nothing" mindset. The idea that, if it's not perfect, it's not good enough. And while there's something to be said for aspiring to do things well and for creating things that are high quality and for pushing for bigger goals, there's also a danger in getting too caught up in this mindset that everything needs to be perfect. So today I share two key tips around beating that perfectionist mindset, that sometimes we need to remind ourselves: 1. Done is better than perfect; and 2. Our journeys are about progress, not perfection.

October 19, 2023 Ep. 80: Do Hard Things
Today on the podcast, I talk about my practice of choosing a word to set my intentions at the beginning of every single year. And every year I stamp this word on a bracelet and wear it as a daily reminder of my intention. For 2023 my “word” was actually 3 words… "do hard things"

I had a lot of goals and a lot of visions for the year ahead and I knew it would take a lot of discipline and a lot of hard work if I wanted to hit those goals and manifest those visions.

And I was ready.
I was ready to work hard.
I was ready to grind it out.
I was ready for the late nights and the early mornings.
For the blood and the sweat and the tears.
(Actually, if I'm honest, I was more ready for the blood and the sweat than I was for the tears….)

But the hard things I ended up being called to do in 2023 didn't look anything like I expected.

It looked more like…
Allowing myself to slow down when I wanted to speed up.
Like doing yoga instead of HIIT training.
Feeling things I didn't want to feel.
Surrendering to things that were yet unknown.

And it was all a helluva lot harder than I expected it would be.

And there were times I wanted to throw that “do hard things” bracelet right into the trash. Because the hard I was facing wasn't the hard I actually wanted.

But every time I looked at those words on my wrist, I was reminded that our journey rarely looks the way we expect. We have to trust the process. Trust the intention. And lean in, even when it gets uncomfortable.

Even when it gets hard.

October 18, 2023 Ep. 79: Becoming Empowered to Find the Answers Within Yourself
In today's episode, I reflect on two conversations I had with two different coaches who each gave me feedback on the same project I've been working on, but whose feedback completely contradicted each other. As I thought about the contradictions in their feedback, trying to determine who was right and who was wrong, I realized neither was wrong. Both were sharing perspectives from completely different lenses of completely different experiences and their individual expertise. I was reminded that a good coach isn't someone who gives you all the answers or who expects you to lean on them for all the answers - a good coach is someone who provides perspective and empowers you to seek out your own answers.

October 17, 2023 Ep. 78: Are you a Chronic Over-Giver?
In today's episode I talk about givers and takers. Giving and receiving. But from the perspective of being a chronic "over-giver". I talk about how being a chronic over-giver can devalue what it is you're giving. How always being a giver and never allowing yourself to receive can actually be coming from a place of ego and judgment against those you perceive as "takers". And how, if you want to take your life and your relationships to a higher level, you have to be willing to be vulnerable and also allow yourself to receive.

October 16, 2023 Ep. 77: Take Ownership of Your Decisions
In today's episode, I talk about this tendency people have to complain about circumstances in their life, but then refuse to do anything to change those circumstances. It's important to take ownership of our decisions - to accept that choosing not to change something that isn't serving us is a choice to remain stuck - and in taking ownership of our decisions, we lose the ability to complain about those situations.

October 13, 2023 Ep. 76: Honor Your Passions and Skillsets
When starting something new, like building a business, some people really enjoy figuring out every little piece that goes into creating it and running it on a day to day basis. Some people like to understand everything that goes into it and enjoy having a hand in all the moving parts. For other people, though, this can feel overwhelming. Other people would rather just do the parts they enjoy and lean on others for the things they aren't excited about.
And both are ok. It's better to recognize which one you are and lean into that, rather than to trying and force yourself into doing things the way you see other people do them. If you're someone who enjoys figuring it all out, this can help you have awareness around the parts you do eventually want to hire out when your business gets too big and you need more help. And if you're someone who doesn't enjoy trying to figure out all the little pieces, you can lean on others to help you from the very beginning, which gives you more time to spend on the things you ARE passionate about.
