Can you have it all?
This was the question that launched this podcast.
5 years later, and my answer to that question hasn't wavered one bit: Yes, you absolutely can!
There's no "...BUT" at the end of the statement either. You can have it all in life, AND I'll show you how it's possible!
In today's episode I'm talking about why so many people get it wrong when they're talking about and pursing having it all, and how you can do it in a more effective, joyful and fulfilling way.

What does it take to create an episode of the Having It A.L.L. podcast? 
If you’ve ever asked yourself that question then you’ll love today’s episode!
I was recently asked by a friend, “How do you continue coming up with ideas for your podcast after 8 years and 500 episodes?”.
It was a great question and one that got me thinking about sharing with you a behind the scenes look of what it takes to create an episode of the show as well as keep the podcast going for years to come.

What does your calendar say about your priorities? 
Whether you use an online calendar, a paper calendar, or simply store all of your appointments and todos in your head (which is impressive!), you have some sort of way of divvying out your most precious resource -- your time!
Where you invest your time says A LOT about what you prioritize!
A common trait of people who feel fulfilled in life and who “have it all” is that they regularly make time for the people, environments and things they value the most. 
In today’s episode I talk about what your calendar says about the level of fulfillment you may or may not be experiencing in your life, and I give you a few simple action items that can help you experience more joy and fulfillment this week!

What Does Your Calendar Say About Your Priorities?

How comfortable are you saying "no" in your life? 
So many of us struggle with saying no when people make requests of our time, space, energy, money, or love. We want to please. We want others to like us. We don't want to be seen as unhelpful or unavailable. 
In today's episode I talk about the challenge of saying "no", and give you very concrete and actionable tips for strengthening that muscle within you.

Learning How To Say No Without Feeling Guilty (HIA Classic)

How do you relate to feedback?
Feedback scares the heck out of most people, but if you run from it then you're handcuffing your potential. 
I was one of those people for a very long time. I did everything I could to NOT receive feedback, and when I did I usually took it very personally and sat in a funk for a few days afterwards. 
Today, however, I understand how important feedback is to growth. Point blank: you will NOT grow without feedback. And that’s growth in ANYTHING -- your job, your health, your hobbies, your relationships, your SELF. 
In today’s episode I’m sharing with you a very simple, yet effective practice that I’ve been using to improve my life. It’s called T2B2, and it centers around seeking out feedback from trusted people in your life. Tune in and I’ll share with you how it’s done and show you why you want to start implementing this simple practice in your life right now!
