Podcast: EP 81 The Power of a Morning Ritual

by | Sep 1, 2022 | Podcast, Success

Let’s talk about the start of your day.

 

I hope you’ve loved your summer season as much as I have and that you feel nourished, refreshed, and ready for a rich harvest season. I am excited to start a new season of the podcast and I felt prompted to revisit one of the key tools we’ve talked about before on the show – a morning ritual. This is a huge part of my own daily success strategy and I want to share with you how to build a nourishing one for yourself. 

In this episode, I share what my own morning ritual looks like, with lots of suggestions of how to modify it for your own needs and desires. I include categories, bonus tips, and plenty of recommendations to try out. Let me know if this inspires you to upgrade your own mornings!

“Your rituals equal your results.”

Podcast: EP 80 The Magic of Surrender with Kute Blackson

Podcast: EP 80 The Magic of Surrender with Kute Blackson

by | May 10, 2022 | Podcast, Success

Have you ever struggled to surrender?

 

The idea of surrender is complicated for many of us. But when I read my friend Kute’s new book about the magic of surrender, I was so inspired to rethink what surrender can do for us. I truly loved this book and can’t wait for you to hear Kute’s wisdom in this episode.

A beloved inspirational speaker and transformational teacher, Kute Blackson offers a fresh, bold look at spiritual awareness for a whole new generation. Born in Ghana, West Africa, Kute’s multicultural upbringing as the child of a Japanese mother and a Ghanaian father has spanned four different continents. His unique lineage lay the foundation for his approach to breaking down barriers and unlocking an individual’s true gifts and greatness.

This conversation is about rethinking what surrender is (and what it’s not), how we can let go of what is holding us back, and ways to allow more magic in your life.

“Surrender is the password to freedom.”

How do you feel about change and uncertainty?

 

We’ve all experienced a lot of it in the past couple of years. And it’s not the easiest thing to go through gracefully. I recently heard Adam speak at an event I attended and I loved what he shared so much I wanted to share it with you on the podcast. 

Adam Markel is the #1 Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, and Publishers Weekly bestselling author of Pivot: The Art & Science of Reinventing Your Career and Life. He is the co-founder and CEO of More Love Media, a sought-after keynote and TEDx speaker, workshop facilitator for Fortune 500 companies, a resilience researcher and expert, a global business leader and mentor, member of The Transformational Leadership Council and Association of Transformational Leaders.

This conversation is about how we can become more comfortable with change, how we can become less fearful of uncertainty, and what opportunities lie within the circumstances we didn’t see coming.

“The toughest part of change is the unknown.”

Podcast: EP 78 Just Start

Podcast: EP 78 Just Start

by | Mar 31, 2022 | Podcast, Success

It’s time to begin.

 

It’s spring time and it feels like a season of new beginnings. Taking imperfect action was the topic of the very first episode I recorded for this podcast, and it feels like a good time to revisit that idea. This is one of my favorite key success principles. 

In this episode, I share some stories from my own life of what has happened when I’ve waited to be ready to be ready and times when I’ve just started. I hope this gives you the courage to just start.

“Don’t prepare. Just begin.”

This is what today’s guest discovered after her husband Richard died suddenly at age 45. She has written so much wisdom on this topic and I love hearing her insight and spirit speak on transformation, grief, and joy.
