This one’s a little different.

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to speak live at a podcasting event here in Appleton, and let me tell you… it was a blast. I wanted to bring that same energy to you, so this is a live recording of that talk. Heads up—since it was a live show, I leaned pretty hard into the slides and visuals. So if you're listening, just know there are a few jokes and bits that land better if you're watching on Spotify.

In this episode, I walk you through the “66 Rewire”—a much friendlier, more doable twist on challenges like 75 Hard. You’ll learn how to kickstart your day with purpose, visualize wins before they happen, and even break the mental loops that keep you stuck (looking at you, negative self-talk). And of course, I share a story about my cat, because apparently that’s who I am now.

If you're someone who wants to build better habits without needing to turn your life upside down, this one’s for you. Just pick one thing, give it a try, and let me know how it goes.

EP 40 — Smell the F*ing Roses**

Alright, this one’s short and to the point.

If you’ve been walking around mad at traffic, annoyed at people, and convinced the world is falling apart—this is your reminder that it’s probably not. You just need to smile more. Chill a little. And maybe stop hanging around people who drain the life out of the room.

“Smell the f***ing roses, man.”

That part? Might be worth clipping for your lock screen.

This episode is basically a pep talk to stop being a grump, focus on something good, and take back your energy before it gets swallowed by all the noise.

🎯 Your 1 THING? this week: be the person that lightens the mood, not the one that sucks it dry.

Consistency is the real MVP.

In this short and sweet episode, we talk about the awkward, boring, and downright uncomfortable phases of chasing your goals—and why most people quit right there. But if you can make it through the “cold shower” moments of life (literally and metaphorically), something powerful starts to happen.

I also take a moment to reflect on all the wild opportunities that have come from this show—from speaking gigs to live podcast events—and how it all started with one question: What’s the thing I’ve been avoiding that I know I need to do?

We’ll get into:

Why gratitude isn’t just a nice idea—it’s fuel for the journey

The surprising benefits of sitting in discomfort

How consistency (not perfection) opens doors

Why cold showers may be the perfect metaphor for chasing your dreams

Grow or Adapt? Why One Word Changes Everything

Ever feel like personal growth is just waiting around for the stars to align? Like you need the perfect conditions to finally make progress? Yeah… I don’t love that.

This week, we’re throwing out the word grow and replacing it with adapt. Because growth? It’s passive. It depends on things outside your control. But adapting? That puts you in the driver’s seat. You shift, you move, you adjust—no waiting for sunshine and rain.

So, what’s one thing you need to adapt to this week? Something within your control that changes the game for you? Let’s figure that out together.

Oh, and stick around for the bloopers because, let’s be real—personal development is way more fun when you don’t take it so seriously.

What are you adapting to this week? I'd love to hear about it! Send me an email at: [email protected]

What’s up, my fine-feathered friend? Let’s talk about a super simple way to stay on top of what actually matters to you: the Red-Green Tracker.

You pick one thing—maybe it’s getting more sleep, spending quality time with family, or finally getting around to meal prepping—grab a spreadsheet, a sticky note, or whatever works for you - list out the item you would like to track and every day, you mark it green if you hit your goal or red if you miss. It’s a visual gut check to keep you honest and make sure your priorities aren’t just intentions but actual habits.

I’ll break down how I use this tracker in my own life and why tracking—even in the simplest form—can be a game-changer for consistency and progress.

Let’s make sure you’re actually living your priorities, not just thinking about them.

Remember when you believed in magic? Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we traded wonder for 'realism.' But what if we didn’t have to? In this episode, My sister and I dive into where the magic goes—and how we can bring it back. From leprechaun traps and childhood psychic moments to why kids see the world differently, this conversation is a reminder that maybe, just maybe, we don’t have to outgrow magic. Listen in and let’s rethink what’s possible.

Takeaways

Magic is often lost as we grow older.

Children have a unique ability to see the unseen.

Belief in magic can shape our reality.

Inspiration can be found in everyday moments.

Perspective is key to recognizing magic around us.

The connection between children and the spiritual world is profound.

Rediscovering our childhood wonder can lead to inspiration.

Magic can be redefined as inspiration in adulthood.

Everyday science can be viewed as magic.

Finding joy in small things can reignite our sense of wonder.

In this engaging conversation, siblings Jordan and Anastasia aka (Not Natasha) discuss their creative journeys, focusing on writing, filmmaking, and personal development. They share insights on overcoming fears, the importance of persistence in creative endeavors, and the balance between work and fun. The conversation also delves into family history and the significance of legacy, culminating in the reveal of Anastasia's book, 'Finding Eden.'

You know that thing you’re naturally good at—the one people always compliment you on? Yeah, that one. What if I told you that talent alone isn’t enough? This week, I had a wake-up call: I’ve been coasting. And if I want to be great, I need to stop relying on what comes easy and start actually putting in the work.

In this episode, we’re talking about the trap of natural ability, why confidence isn’t about persuasion but belief, and the moment I realized I’ve never truly gone “full send” on anything in my life—until now. If you’ve been playing it safe, just skating by on what you’re already good at, it’s time to change that. Let’s commit, let’s go all in, and let’s see what happens when we really push ourselves.

Hit play, and then email me at [email protected] to tell me what you’re going full send on this week! And if this episode hits home, do me a favor—share it with a friend, rate it, or leave a review. Let’s grow together. 🚀

What would you get up in the middle of the night to do for free?

For Kimberly Stoeger, that question changed everything. She started out chasing a business degree because that’s what her family did. But life had other plans—plans that involved hitting rock bottom with her health, battling misdiagnoses, and realizing she had to take control of her own well-being.

That journey led her to functional medicine, where she not only healed herself but built Nutritional Healing, a company that’s transformed so many lives.

But this story isn’t just about nutrition. It’s about tenacity, betting on yourself, and refusing to settle—even when the world tells you to stay in your lane. Kimberly didn’t have a roadmap. She had guts, determination, and a willingness to ask the hard questions.

She job-shadowed, made cold calls, drove three hours just to pick a mentor’s brain—all before she ever made a dime in this field.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a career that doesn’t light you up, if you’ve wrestled with the idea that maybe you’re meant for more, or if you’re looking for proof that changing your path is possible, this episode is for you.

Because here’s the truth: your genes aren’t your destiny, your past choices don’t define you, and your dream isn’t as out of reach as you think.

🔥 Listen now and get inspired to rewrite your own story.

Where are you? No, seriously. The real you. The one who used to climb trees, make weird jokes, and do things just because they were fun. Yeah, that one.

Somewhere along the way, life buried that person under mortgages, emails, and polite small talk by the water cooler. But what if we could bring them back?

This episode is all about rediscovering the quirks, passions, and ridiculous joy of your childhood—because that is where the magic is.

So, let’s go. Climb a tree (for real, don't just talk about it.) Find the mini-you, and let’s have some fun. I wanna hear about it—email me at [email protected].
