  • Ep: 21 - Triage The Failure Of Your Ritual Design

    The last couple of weeks I've been really sloppy with all my routines. I thought this might be a great opportunity to walk through the way I approach this issue and how I get out of a funk. It's a process and takes a while to master but when you have a plan it's a whole lot easier!

    Have you ever tried to create a new habit or establish a new routine with no luck? There's actually an easier answer than you think.

    Today I use my diet as an example of how I changed my identity to meet my goals. If you are a "healthy person" vs someone who's trying to diet than the conversation around eating the chocolate cake ends before it even begins!

    Listen in to see how you can shift your identity to get to the root of your problems and make the changes you want to have stick!

  • Ep: 17 - The Calendar is Arbitrary

    Happy New Year! It's 2020 and we're about two weeks in. Some of you might have set some New Years resolutions. How are they going so far?!

    I find it interesting that we wait until a day on the calendar whether it be next week, next month or next year to become a better version of ourselves. You can decide in an instant to change the things you do and the way you think but the practice of doing that is really tricky!

    Listen today to learn how I approach the calendar and how I use it to my advantage!

  • Ep: 14 - Replace One Word For Massive Productivity

    The things we tell ourselves and the words we use can ultimately make or break our productivity. We can either hinder our subconscious mind or leverage the right type of wording to empower our creativity and problem solving skills!

    Today on the podcast I talk about the worst word in the dictionary. I also teach you an alternative that opens up all the doors!
