It’s a new season and it’s time to dream.

 

I have loved this summer, playing my heart out, and soaking in the sun. But even though I don’t want it to end, I’m so excited about a new season and the surge of creativity coming with it. To kick off a new season of the podcast, I’m inviting you to dream big with me — and I’m sharing 5 questions to ask yourself to build dreams that will take you where you really want to go.

“Perfectionism is a dream stealer.”

Podcast: EP 35 The Permission + Power of Play

Podcast: EP 35 The Permission + Power of Play

by | Jul 1, 2020 | Podcast, Self Care, Success

I’ve got an unusual invitation for you.

 

If you know me well, you know I have an alter ego my friends call “Summer Tiff.” It’s the person I become in the summer months, when play becomes a big priority. This came about from a wake up call I had about four years ago, when I realized my priorities were not aligned with my joy.

In this episode, I’m inviting you to play more. To let yourself have fun. To see it as a business and relationship strategy for success. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

“Everything is energy.”

Podcast: EP 34 Vivacious Living with Mary Crafts

Podcast: EP 34 Vivacious Living with Mary Crafts

by | Jun 24, 2020 | Challenge, Podcast, Self Care

I’m sharing one of my dearest friends on the show.

 

Mary is a sister to me, a dear friend, a light, an inspiration, and so much more. We’ve gotten to know each other over the past two years and what a gift that has been. I wanted to share her story on the podcast because I know everyone will relate to her beautiful transformation from fear to love.

Mary Crafts is…quite simply…. a living legend. From humble beginnings and dire circumstances, she invested blood, sweat and countless tears into building what would become the most celebrated catering company in Utah.

That multi-million dollar empire became the launching pad for so much more. Today, Mary has handed the reins of her catering empire to her incredibly gifted children who have taken her company to the next level, while Mary turns her attention to helping others build their dreams.

 

In this conversation, Mary shares her story of a huge wake-up call at 50 years old, her journey of learning to face her fears, lose excess weight, transform her life, and even climb Mt. Kilimanjaro at the age of 65. Get ready for an amazing story – Mary is the example that anything is possible.

“What would I do today if I wasn’t afraid?”

Podcast: EP 33 Choose Your Legacy with Steve Dennis

by | Jun 16, 2020 | Challenge, Love, Podcast

Get ready to nourish your heart with light.

 

I got to have a powerful, heart-breaking, and nourishing conversation with a dear friend a couple of weeks ago. My heart was in pain over the events happening in our country after the death of George Floyd and I was looking for clarity and answers. Steve shared such beautiful insight with me that I knew it would be a gift if he shared his story and perspectives with my podcast audience.

Internationally acclaimed entrepreneur, speaker, trainer and life coach, Steve Dennis has shared the stage with such personal development masters as John Maxwell and Jack Canfield. Steve is a member of The John Maxwell Team, an elite group of certified coaches and communicators mentored by the #1 leadership expert in the world and New York Times best-selling author, John Maxwell.

Steve trains and motivates with an emphasis on strengthening leaders and helping them to maximize their skills and effectiveness and identify the potential in the individual. He digs deep and identifies the potential in people. He believes that in order to build businesses, you first must build people.  

In this conversation, Steve shares his wisdom about growing up as a black man in America, being bullied for being overweight, and making the choice to transform his pain into light and legacy. I hope that this episode will nourish your heart the same way it did mine.

“I am not what you call me, I am only what I answer to.”

Podcast: EP 32 When the Weeds Return

by | Jun 9, 2020 | Podcast, Self Care, Success

I’m revisiting an old lesson.

 

If you’ve ever judged yourself for repeating the same mistakes, struggling with the same insecurities, or not progressing in a perfectly linear path, this episode is for you. I’ve been having the same conversation with many friends and clients lately about why we tend to judge ourselves in how we progress. It’s easy to notice yourself struggling with something you thought you had “mastered” and assume you failed.

I’m here to remind you that progress is a process, a practice, and it requires constant revisiting of the things we have already become aware of. Just like weeding a garden, self-improvement and healing are a constant practice. And we’re all revisiting our same lessons again and again, in new ways.

“It doesn’t mean you’re a lost cause, it means you’re a progressionary human.”
