We are conditioned to always desire more but this way of thinking often distracts us from truly appreciating all that we have right now!

Give yourself grace, remember who you are and that you are enough just as you are right now.

Your comfort zone may seem like the safe option but that feeling of regret will be more painful than that of growth. You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for!

Show Notes:

We, as a society, have so many options available to us which makes it so hard to make a decision. And sometimes after we have made a decision, big or small, we second guess ourselves and wonder if we made the right one. What is deserving of your energy and what isn't? Do you spend time agonizing over which decision to make? Or maybe you worry about a decision you already made. Stop this vicious reconsider cycle. Trust your gut, commit to making a decision and this will rid you of decision fatigue and lighten your mental load. It's good to audit big life decisions but don't spend time agonizing over those small decisions that won't make a difference in the long run. Having so many options may make us feel that we always need to make the perfect decision and this causes us massive unneeded stress. If you are feeling this way seek to simplify your life by only putting your energy into decisions that really matter to you. Where can you turn down the noise of too many choices?

02:10 We are a product of our environment, the mental load is real!

03:55 Commit to a decision, you are ready.

05:25 Do the important things first.

07:00 It's ok to change course, you're not stuck!

11:00 What is the paradox of choice?

16:30 Let the choice be the choice.

18:45 Set yourself up for success and seek to simplify.

20:00 Where can you start to simplify your life?

In this episode, you will learn:

What does it mean to serve and sacrifice for a calling that is bigger than yourself?

Show Notes:

Happy 4th of July! I am so proud to be an American and am so incredibly grateful for the sacrifice all of our soldiers give for our safety and freedom. My grandfather served our country and was deployed when his daughter was born. He didn't get to meet her until she was almost a year old. This was such an eye opening realization when I became a mom and had such a bond with my babies. I couldn't imagine going a year without seeing them. This had a great impact on me to think about the many sacrifices our soldiers and their families make every day. As an NFL cheerleader I had the profound opportunity to go on a military entertainment tour and see where our soldiers sleep and spend their time. This was such a special opportunity to experience the Super Bowl and perform for these soldiers. As amazing as this trip was, it could not compare to what I experienced when visiting troops in Washington state. I was able to meet with soldiers that had just come back from the front lines and they lost half of their team. Hearing about their journey hit my heart hard and I will never be the same. What an honor and privilege it was to be in the presence of such amazing men who fought for our glorious country!

01:40 The USA is a beacon of light and possibility!

03:00 To what extent does our military sacrifice for our freedom?

07:00 My most profound memory as an NFL cheerleader was the opportunity of going on a military entertainment tour.

11:20 The best Super Bowl party I have ever been to was with the military!

13:10 I had the honor of performing at Pearl Harbor!

15:00 Why was my visit to the VA in Washington so groundbreaking?

19:00 My incredible lunch with soldiers who had just come back from the front lines.

22:30 THANK YOU to all of our American Heroes, past and present!

Show Notes:

Where are you going and where are you growing? With this first question, we will look extrinsically, where are you going? Look down the road at what you want your life to be and create milestones or goals for yourself. This can include looking at just the day ahead, the current quarter or year you are in or farther down the road. Use this question to create goals in all aspects of life. Being clear with your intentions and what you want to accomplish will get you there that much faster. You will be able to identify your priorities and drown out the noise of tasks that are not as important in this season of your life. Where are you growing? This is more of an intrinsic focus. What area of personal development are you focusing on to become that next level version of yourself? This can be a word or phrase that you are focusing on in order to change or begin incorporating a value/behavior that is in alignment with the person you have been called to be. Live full out and go after that life you have always wanted to create!

Show Notes:

Social Media can be an incredible way to get the word out about your business or connect with others. Unfortunately there's also a dark side that has been so brilliantly engineered to suck you in and keep you scrolling your life away. It can be a toxic place and lead to burnout if we let it. In this episode, I'm sharing some ways to protect yourself from falling into the trap of scrolling or unconsciously opening that go-to social platform for another "hit". There is so much life to be lived beyond the screen, just think of the connection and peace you can have in your life by taking your power back from social media.

In this episode, you will learn:

Show Notes:

Were you taught to trust your gut, speak up, and advocate for yourself in school? I certainly wasn't. It isn't something we're taught yet it's so important for us all to do in order to function as healthy adults. In this episode, I'm sharing a big life lesson I learned when I was 11 years old getting my ears pierced. It may seem simple, but if you aren't listening to your gut and advocating for yourself with the small stuff, how can you expect to be able to recognize those gut feelings and advocate for yourself for the big stuff? You've got to put in the reps to become great at it!

02:15 Learning to advocate for myself at 11 years old.

05:00 We're not taught to advocate for ourselves in school, how do we learn? 06:20 Do you feel like you've advocated for yourself lately?

08:15 Why you need to do the reps of speaking up for the "small" things.
