If you have an idea that’s worth going after, commit to it. If not, move on. This is the basic goal philosophy of my guest this week, ALoN David. He’s a goal setting expert, entrepreneur, and 90X® Founder & CEO; ALoN has created multiple 6- and 7- figure businesses from nothing.

Giving yourself a break is much easier said than done. When balancing a family, a full-time job, and your personal time, it can feel like everything needs your attention at every moment. Finding peace among the chaos can sometimes feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack. My guest this week, Renae Fieck, a mom of 3, occupational therapist, and advocate for moms who desire more grace, space, and rest within their lives will teach us how to ease up and be more patient with ourselves in t...

Why does showing up online cause many of us to feel afraid? Why does “showing up” seem so scary? It's vulnerability. It’s the fear of letting people see the real you. It’s that fear that keeps you from growing and transforming more fully. It’s also the fear that makes you feel like you’re getting nothing done. In this episode, I’m going to introduce you to Kate Dramis, a copywriter and messaging coach who is obsessed with helping entrepreneurs find their voice, share their voice, and own thei...

When you get frustrated, what tends to happen? Do you tend to run from your feelings? Do you run from your tasks and responsibilities? Do you abandon what you were doing? These are normal responses to frustration. However, when we continue to stay frustrated over long periods of time, we can become caught in a cycle where we become even more frustrated because we’re not doing what we really want to be doing. So, how do we overcome our sense of frustration so we can be productive again? In ...

“Just be yourself!” is what everyone says, but that’s way easier said than done, right? Getting in touch with who you are (a.k.a. your real self) can be quite the journey! For some it may be simple, but for many it can be very challenging and take many years to “figure it out.” We know deep down we want to live as our true selves, but we also worry that we might run into difficulty if we actually do so. You might be worried that if you show more of your true self, others won’t like you....

Building healthy habits can feel difficult; we know this all too well, and I think we can all relate! Sometimes the habits we’re trying to build seem so challenging we think that the process has to be an “all-or-nothing” action. We start, only to get discouraged and to fall back into our old habits again. It makes us think, why do we fail? What’s the missing link? In this episode, Sarah Von Bargen teaches us that having joy in the habit change process and celebrating our efforts instead of...

Realizing there’s more to life than just the standard daily grind and knowing you have a greater life purpose can open up a world of possibilities.

With long hours and no time for rest, she began to realize there is more to life than meets the eye. She took on the challenge of figuring out where her feelings of dissatisfa...

Imposter syndrome is an experience many of us feel whether it’s at work, home, or elsewhere. Not feeling “good enough” creeps in when we feel like we need to do better or be better, especially when we begin to compare our experiences to those of others. In this episode, you’ll hear tips and reminders that we need to tell ourselves to take control of that inner voice and the stories we tell ourselves that hold us back. In this episode, I’m introducing you to Sonya Reece. She’ll be telling the ...

Post-pandemic life: What’s it going to look like? It may be unsettling for some, it may be exciting for others. As we begin to navigate what life looks like outside of pandemic times, it’s important to remember how we’re feeling when we’re operating in situations that aren’t aligned with who we are or what we need. When we are frequently working out of alignment with ourselves, it can lead to... burnout. Whatever the post-pandemic period looks like for you, our resilience has certainly been tes...

When you begin to accept who you truly are, you begin to expand and grow. I’m not referring to the things others think you are, but you, the real you -- the you that you believe is your truest self. It’s when we begin to listen to ourselves, not others, where we begin to see the change and start understanding that we hold so much power when we stop worrying about what others think or say about us. Wondering or assuming what others want, need, and think creates a limit to who we can become as we ...

Life can seem like it’s filled with challenges and not-so-colorful moments. Our past can be full of light and triumph, but also sadness or even grief. When we hold onto the moments of our lives where darkness lies, we can struggle to forgive others or ourselves which can prevent us from being who we were intended to be. When you decide that your life is going to be different moving forward, you create tremendous power within yourself. This week, I welcome Christine M. Roberts to the podcast. ...

Sometimes being a people-pleaser is just NOT fun. Sure, we may get excited at the chance to help someone or work really hard to get the satisfaction of a job well done, but at what cost? We’ve all had that dreaded feeling, having to decide between saying “yes” or saying “no” to something or someone. You might be asking yourself, is saying “yes” really a “bad” thing? If you think about it, always saying “yes” all the time can hurt us because it can get in the way of what we really want to do, s...

Figuring out who you really are and being able to be and act as the truest version of yourself can be so powerful in any and all areas of your life. When Carrie Hamm figured out living and breathing the corporate scene for over 20 years wasn’t for her anymore, she considered what she wanted to do next. As she had worked in a heavily male-dominated industry, it wasn’t until she discovered a women-only co-working space that she began to thrive. She started to notice the stark differences between w...

If you’re new to the concept of energy work, in the simplest terms, it’s used to balance the body’s various energies to alleviate stress, health conditions and disease.

Whether you’re an adopter of energy work practices or you’re a bit skeptical about it, I encourage you to listen actively and be open to the possibility of it. It’s truly incredible work! My guest, Elizabeth Pasquale, LMT, CST, NLP...

We’ve all heard the phrase, “You’re your own worst critic.” Those feelings you can’t quite shake off -- the fear of judgment, embarrassment, or showing who we really are -- they stop us from growing and doing the things we want to do. But why do we believe these negative views of ourselves without question? Why can’t we accept that the things we do are “good enough?” The truth is, it’s become a habit -- and a very deeply ingrained one at that. So often, I see people knock themselves down before...

Our identity consists of who we are, the type of people we surround ourselves with, the things we enjoy, our values and beliefs, and sometimes...the things people say about us. The pressure and weight of what others think of you can be strong opponents in the process of finding your true identity. Self-doubt can creep in and stunt us further. So, how do we stop these thoughts and find our true selves? What beliefs and stories are you telling yourself that prevent you from being you and arriving ...
