From Barriers to Breakthroughs

After taking time away, I’m excited to bring this podcast back. From Barriers to Breakthroughs is where we talk about the struggles that keep us stuck and the shifts that help us move forward. I created this space to share honest stories, both mine and others’, about facing fear, breaking patterns, and building a life that feels truly yours. This podcast is not about pretending everything is perfe...

You may be attempting to be productive...but doing it all wrong. Anyone can be busy. It takes some training, practice and strategy to be really productive. It's been a theme in some of my coaching calls lately so I figured I'd share some ideas here on how to fix your "busy" or "I just can't get to the important stuff" problem. It's easy to get dragged into other peoples' emergencies. They can seem...

Life happens and it's not always pretty. On a day when nothing seems to work, and you find yourself laying on the floor outside your office staring into space wondering how you can turn things around...you have a choice. You can choose to complain about your situation, or contain it - and not let it steal your joy and your productivity!

Taking your self-limiting thoughts and beliefs, and burning them to ashes is insanely satisfying - and psychologically freeing. Remove the burden and blindness of your self-sabotaging thoughts with your own F*ck It Bucket!

Being "nice" isn't actually getting you anywhere. Being KIND, however, offers clarity - and you get WAY better results. Here's how to know if you're being nice (and getting nowhere) or kind.

There is a constant war for our attention. Billboards, ads, social media feeds and more. I have come to realize that the social networks in particular are insidious and downright dangerous for us, because they are literally designed to make us enraged (not engaged), they prey on our weaknesses and insecurities, making us feel like we are alone in our problems. Worse, they try to convince us that s...

You can tell yourself that the world is out to get you, and that you're not equipped to handle things.. Or you can be like Dorothy, the Tin Man and the Lion and "Lions, Tigers and Bears, Oh my!" your way through the day, using phrases that build confidence, not tear it down. Have a listen as I explain what I mean, so you can start using better words to tell your brain what to see, and how to respo...

Business planning can create massive anxiety: how will you achieve that  income goal next year? It's so BIG! How will you grow your business?  What if the economy tanks even more? What if interest rates skyrocket  out of control? What if...what if...what if...?   There's a much less stressful way to plan - and it involves focusing on  ONE THING and one thing only: you...

When things get tough, or when something goes wrong, we instinctively  want to lay blame anywhere but on ourselves. But that’s not helpful and  the absolute opposite of accountability. Here’s how to stop the impulse and make peace with what you cannot control.

Most people do time management all wrong. There’s no ONE way to do it- there’s just YOUR way to do it. In this episode, I tell you how to figure that out.

I wrote most of my book in 3 days because I REALLY wanted it published  before Christmas.   How badly do you want things to turn out for you? If you don't care  enough, your brain won't trigger to put in the effort. Watch and see if  there's a way for you to get everything you want, by giving your brain  the right instructions!

I had to let go of my expectations for my son on how he'd finish school.  Then I turned the practice on myself and the results were amazing.    Here's how and why you should relinquish your own expectations...and  find peace.

Where are you building your home? In others? In the future, or the past? In your job or career? We can build our homes everywhere, but if those things leave...we're homeless. In today's episode, I explain the power of building your home within - and nowhere else.

Goal-setting can be downright dangerous...and demotivating. Kind of the  opposite of what they're intended for, right?    I've got 3 new ways you can set goals for yourself, using YOUR unique  motivators, not everyone else's.    Stop living someone else's life, and building someone else's business.  Do it on your terms and start with setting goals YOUR way!

If you can't name your emotions, or define how you feel (good, bad or  ugly) you're doomed to stay in a state of "emotional" brain fog. You  can't think straight, make good decisions, and you'll find yourself  shooting off your mouth more than you wanted.     To get to a point of clarity, high performance, happiness, income growth  and fulfillment, the better you...

I did a keynote recently where I explained how each of us can be our own "greatest of all time." Now I want to introduce the idea that you can be the star of your own show: The (your name here) Do Sh*t Show! Waiting to "feel" ready, confident, and set to take on the world (or that tiny task you keep putting off)? NO GO! The feelings you want - and the support, ideas, creativity and open doors - on...

The root of all success, happiness and more - is in "self-(something)".... Self-awareness Self-management Self-control Self-love Self-validation Self-adoration The only "self" word that has NOTHING to do with growth, power and happiness is "selfish", which ironically is what you often get accused of being when you start taking care of yourself. People sometimes want you to take care of them and on...

Uncertainty can absolutely paralyze us, but it doesn't have to. Find  ways to test your "intolerance to uncertainty" levels and continue to  learn and grow, not get stuck in your comfort zone!

Today, I explain how procrastination and other avoidance behaviours are actually rooted in EMOTION - not any productivity  strategy, coaching technique or morning routine. You can fix it...but  you have to let your "sleeping dragon" lie.

Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars. Social media went nuts -  but little of it does any good. All that negativity and mud-throwing  just brings us ALL down. But you CAN have an opinion...it's just what you do WITH that opinion that counts. Listen to find out the best way to take whatever your opinion is about anything, and turn it into something GOOD.

You have a dark side, and if you use it well, it will make your strengths stronger, and your light brighter. Most people don't want to admit they have one. When I did, my whole world changed. Here's my story.

You will never be ready. Let that sink in. Instead, you have two options: 1) Do shit 2) Do nothing Readiness comes only once you start DOING something. Have a listen to find out more - and get moving!

If you’ve ever said something like, “I’ll be happy when…” then you’re handing away the keys to your happiness and success.  Here’s why you do it, and how to stop it – and you’ll find that, when you take full control of everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) in your life, what you want amazingly comes to you. It’s not magic.  It’s science. And it’s awesome.
