My birthday was last week and I thought it would be fitting to share with you my 5 WINS and 5 LESSONS from this last year. This might be one of my favorite solo episodes I have recorded so far!
If you have joined me since the beginning, you know A LOT has changed for myself even in just 6 months, but even more in the last 12. To be honest, I don't dive deep in this episode as I have touched on many of these wins and lessons in previous.

If you listen to this podcast, you probably have listened to a habit book or two. Each one provides you different strategies on how to build habits, BUT most don't tell you how to take action over and over and over again.
This episode, I have Alessia Citro on the podcast. She is a certified life coach and serial entrepreneur who unexpectedly decided to leave the corporate world after working for Salesforce and Google. Over the last few years, Alessia became sober and found her way to building better habits over time. 
We talk all things habits, sobriety, and more!
Alessia's book releases on June 13th, get on the list to be notified HERE!

Happiness Takes Practice

Friday May 17, 2024

Friday May 17, 2024

Join me in this short episode as I share how I am the HAPPIEST I have ever been, but I am not happy all of the time.
You might be asking "Well, how is that?"- Listen in to hear the three ways I bring myself back to happiness when stressed, overwhelmed, sad, etc. To be happy more often, it takes practicing habits over and over again that will bring you back to happiness.
If you didn't listen to last weeks episode, I highly recommend you take a listen, as this episode was inspired by what came up for me while recording!

*Potential trigger warning*
This episode is a special one. Something on my heart recently told me to share my life the last 4-6 years leading up to where I am today.
Like many others, I was on autopilot.  I was doing things to numb out the stress, anxiety, and overwhelm I was feeling on a daily basis trying to be the PERFECT and BEST version of myself for others.
Or so I thought that was what I was trying to do. Listen in to hear about how I worked through these bad habits and became aware of what I was actually doing. How I went from numbing my emotions, to living with them, and all the in between.

The Seasons of Life

Friday May 03, 2024

Friday May 03, 2024

I have heard so many different ways to think about the season of life I am currently in. Relating to actual weather seasons; winter or spring. But recently, someone sent me a post about the season of Waiting.
Waiting is difficult. I don't know about you but I can get impatient not knowing how long I will actually be waiting or stress about what is to come. 
In this episode, I share how I am living in the waiting season, planting seeds, waiting for them to start growing. Life has drastically changed for me and continues to. The future is unknown so it is time to start living in the present!

This episode is for you if you have been putting off or not clarifying your goals and dreams for this year. Or maybe you have your goals but we are 4 months in and they feel impossible. 
It is not too late to reassess your goals if they are still aligned and maybe even get more specific. But probably most importantly, you need to determine the action steps you have to take to accomplish the goal. Without action steps, it is easy to get lost and not know how to get closer to succeeding.
Join me today as I share the steps to creating or assessing your goals, how to take the action, and determine what is holding you back.

Does fear, overwhelm, procrastination, and the unknown hold you back from doing the thing? Personally or professionally, many of us experience resistance in different forms. And usually, we let this resistance, the negative thoughts or limiting beliefs, hold us back from going after our dreams.
In this episode, I challenge you to look resistance in the face, accept it, and take the first step. If you don't take the first step, there is no change, there is no trial or error, there is no success or failure. "If your not doing the scary, then you are not learning or growing".
It's time to fight the resistance and keep learning and growing!
