Podcast: EP 13 Endings and Beginnings: Navigating Our Transitions

by | Dec 10, 2019 | Goals, Podcast, Self Care

It’s the end of one year and the start of a new one.

 

I had a powerful experience sharing an exercise at a workshop I taught last week. It was all about intention setting for a new year. But first, I walked each attendee through an exercise to close out the current year in gratitude and peace.

I wanted to share this exercise on the podcast because it was so powerful for those of us at the workshop. Whether you’re listening to this at the new year, during a new chapter of your life, or any other time, I’d love to hear what you experience as you go through this exercise and remember the goodness that life has brought you.

“You don’t remedy anything by condemning it.” – Wayne Dyer

Podcast: EP 11 Self Care: What Your Heart Needs Now

Podcast: EP 11 Self Care: What Your Heart Needs Now

by | Nov 26, 2019 | Love, Podcast, Self Care

It’s time to come home to yourself.

 

One of the things I feel most strongly about is the importance of loving and taking care of ourselves. I like to say that you are your own best life coach — this especially applies to knowing what you need in the form of self-care.

To guide you through learning to coach yourself in this area, I recorded a solo episode sharing my thoughts on the one question that always helps me discover what I need to give myself at any time. My hope is that this will serve you through this holiday season and beyond. Because we all need to be a friend to ourselves.

What if you were the safest place you knew?

Podcast: EP 9 The Power of a Morning Ritual

Podcast: EP 9 The Power of a Morning Ritual

by | Nov 12, 2019 | Podcast, Self Care, Success

I’m sharing one of my favorite habits.

 

For all the success principles I love to teach, there is one that is incredibly important to me. It’s a morning ritual practice that I’ve been using for years. I’m not perfect at mine, but I’m committed to it, and it has made all the difference in my well-being and success over time.

I recorded a solo episode on this topic to share the essential components of a powerful morning ritual so that you can make your own (or re-visit your current one). I’m a big believer that you are your own best life coach, so take this information in and create what works for you.

Let choice, not chance, be what’s governing the life you are consciously creating.

Podcast: EP 7 Making Room for the New In Your Life

by | Oct 29, 2019 | Goals, Podcast, Self Care, Success

I love fall so much.

 

It is my favorite season and I am feeling so cozy. I’m spending time thinking about my year (only about 10 weeks left in 2019!) and what I want to let go of before the year ends. I’m a big believer that when we let go of things we don’t need anymore, we create room for what we now need to come in. This episode is where I’m sharing some of my best practices for letting go and making room for what you are ready to receive.

There’s nothing missing in your life. You simply must make room for it.

Podcast: EP 4 Willpower Doesn’t Work with Benjamin Hardy

Podcast: EP 4 Willpower Doesn’t Work with Benjamin Hardy

by | Oct 8, 2019 | Goals, Podcast, Success

Willpower doesn’t work (at least not how you think it does.)

 

I love hearing my friend Benjamin speak about habits, goals, and psychology. He is one of the most-researched, best writers on these topics, and every time we talk, I learn something new.

Benjamin is an organizational psychologist and bestselling author of Willpower Doesn’t Work.

His work is viewed by millions of people monthly and featured on Forbes, Fortune, CNBC, Cheddar, Big Think, and many others. He is a regular contributor at Inc. andPsychology Today. 

From 2015 to 2019, his email list grew to nearly 400,000 people (without paid advertising) by blogging on Medium.com.

In this conversation, Benjamin explains why willpower isn’t the most effective way to change habits, what works instead, and how our personalities aren’t permanent. Get ready to take notes because I sure did!

When you change your context, you change yourself.
