As your friend, I gotta ask: when was the last time you checked-in with yourself & determined whether or not you're HAVING FUN on your path to achieve your dreams?!

Today, we’re chatting all about the power & potential within the human mind. Because I think that all of us are so much more capable & resilient that we give ourselves credit for, especially when we look at the actual science behind the power of our minds.

As ambitious women, we tend to take on a lot personally & professionally because we're driven humans! However, just because we technically can take on a lot doesn't necessarily mean we should. In this episode, I share a situation I'm navigating where I said I'd teach an extra class, but then realized I couldn't actually handle that in the season I'm in, so I had t...

Comparison can sometimes make us feel like we're NOT GOOD ENOUGH in so many facets of our lives! When we look at another woman, we wind up thinking that we're not a good enough mom or writer or podcaster or athlete, etc. HOWEVER, you & I have the power within ourselves to THINK AGAINST THE GRAIN, so let's abandon comparison & focus on CONTRAST! In other words, we're all...

When we have a HUGE task or goal to accomplish-- training for a marathon, writing a book, cleaning the house-- we often get really OVERWHELMED! And the reason we go straight to overwhelm is because we get obsessed with the whole picture, rather than looking at the parts that need to be accomplished to get there. Listen in for two POWERFUL questions I ask myself to stop overwhelm in its tracks!
