  • Ep 47: Take a Break...The Proper Way

    If your mind and body is telling you that you need rest, you better listen! The last couple of weeks I took a bit of a break because we had one of those major life events....we had a baby!

    I knew one thing for sure. There was going to be a slew of uncertainty! I had no idea what to expect so I knew that I would need to take some time off. I still am getting my bearings of my schedule and the lack of sleep.

    So I thought today would be a great opportunity to talk about some of the details and philosophies that I think about when I take some time off!

  • Ep: 44 - Become Comfortable Being Uncomfortable And Step Outside Your Comfort Zone

    If you're listening or watching this, that automatically means you have a level of comfort compared to many people in the world. Ultimately we'll always face challenges that come our way and living with certain levels of comfort puts us at a disadvantage.

    This is why we must create scenarios to practice getting out of our comfort zones. Create hard situations for yourself whether it's a polar plunge or having that difficult conversation with your Mom. Today I give some thought on my own experience living uncomfortable.
