Bring It On

Sometimes God will give you a push. Especially when you're a stubborn a$$ like me. Grab hold with both hands & hold on for the ride kids, life can be like riding a bull.

Ok....so a little different topic today. Wanted to talk about sales & building relationships & why that latter part is critical to your success in this arena.

Soccer season has kicked off. Embarrassing my players because I love them. Coaching is impactful & your more powerful than you think you are.

This is likely a depressing listen. A friend of mine left this world & she was so so sad. I'm struggling with it & I wanted to remind everyone of the impact they can have on other people. Even though sometimes it doesn't happen, we do have the power to affect change. It won't work every time but isn't it worth it to keep trying?

I've had several conversations this week revolving around this specific topic & it seems pertinent to get my happy a$$ back in here to talk about it. If you're struggling, please reach out. To someone, somewhere. Face to face connection is a powerful piece to our lives. Be liberal with your smile, you never know how much it can help someone out.

It's been a month. Ugh. Sorry for being such a slacker. And this episode is probably garbage so there's that. Random ramblings. My brain is somewhere - I need to go find it.

This past weekend, Thursday through Saturday I had the great opportunity to attend Summer Smash (again) in St. Louis at 1st Phorm HQ. A weekend immersed in the people, the culture & the MISSION of why we do what we do every day. Kinda long winded. There is a funny recap of me being an idiot as well as Andy's speech from the opening ceremony on Saturday before the big party. I truly hope yo...

No starting subject today so we just roll with it ;) With weather getting warmer it makes me think about heat training, electrolytes & hydration. And some random thoughts about intentional conversations with our kids.

Today I was finally able to chat with Jeanne Larsen about her recent trials she's been dealt, how she is handling some pretty significant life challenges & changes. She shares a bit of her story with me & I am ever so grateful for her willingness to share. I have gotten to know her the past couple of years through the studio here, classes she has attended, a business mastermind I coerc...

Life, kids, advocating for yourself & your kids. Living the example and recording belches. :)

Looking forward to racing this weekend & also looking at challenging myself with some more difficult conditions & longer distances. A few thoughts on getting uncomfortable & communication.

Is it inappropriate to talk about snot & sleepwalking on a podcast? HA! Oh well. Our GAF meters broke a long time ago. Enjoy!

Several months ago Alex's PlayStation got boxed up & put away for the rest of the school year. And things have been going better because of it. His attitude has improved, his grades are finally improving & he's a nice kid to be around now. A few days ago I commented on an IG post that info & wow, the response was way more than I anticipated it would be. Mostly good & in agreement/s...

March is National Down Syndrome Awareness month. Who better to talk about personal experiences with Down Syndrome than my mom. My younger brother Curtis was born in 1982 with Down Syndrome & a defective heart. He was one of the youngest people to ever have open heart surgery. I learned a whole lot experiencing Curtis first hand growing up. It literally changed my life. My sister Amie & I a...

A little discussion about Impact on people & community today with my partner Danielle Schares. 

You ever have a thought that just nags at your brain? Like this picture in your head of something that you just can't shake? Is it the path or is it just ADD? Can anyone else relate? 

Kind of been in a life reflective frame of mind lately. The obstacle is the opportunity has been a theme for me for quite a while. Embrace the suck friends. 

Whew!! Wow what a day this has been! I had the opportunity to visit with my dear friend Mandy McCleary on her Facebook page for a live interview & it was SUCH an awesome chat!!! Y'all know I'm a huge people person & getting to chat with her about life, her wellness journey & the craziness of life was such a great experience. Of course we went twice as long as she normally does because...

So I'm nerding out a bit about some new audio equipment. I'm really wanting to add guests to my podcast & I don't want to feel like we're making out over 1 mic so with a little YouTube help, a referral from a friend & help from Guitar Center guys, I was able to get this setup set up!  Some thoughts today on the process on reaching goals & the boring processes of making those happe...

My audio is straight freaking garbage so I apologize up front! But that cannot be my excuse to not show up. 2023 is here loud & proud & got got goals to crush. Let's go my friends!! Light your OWN fire & someone else's!

Man I really feel off my meds or something in this podcast....kidding, kinda....I'm not on any meds. But my brain is just like out in left field. WHAT! Driving the struggle bus with this injury & trying to stay outta my head about it but failing miserably. Also....here's the link to the FB group that my good friend Amy has, Simply Amy Boutique ! You have to join the group to be able to see her...

Sometimes its just a matter of showing tf up. 

Whew! I took a week off with a post Thanksgiving hangover but back again today. Not a day late WTF cast today but more back to the usual stuff....with a little squirrel. I should really make notes as I record so I can do the description better....noted for next time but today I guess you'll just have to listen to find out wth I'm talking about! ;) 

Today Danielle is BACK! And we discuss staying on track during the holidays & the mindset around sticking with it even if you don't. And some other stuff. Ya know....bc squirrel. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 

Why the Fitness on Thursday. Talking today about WHY we need to be fit & healthy. Why do we do what we do.  Why is getting our physical health in good condition is so important. To us, to our kids, to literally everything.  And I attempted to record video as well & well.....that didn't work out so well. Maybe next time. So just ignore the reference to watching the video, because...
