The Power Within Her

Welcome to another Writer’s Corner, a special episode edition of The Power Within Her, which is all about diving into the mindset & skills we need to write books! So, today we're chatting about a super popular question in my DMs on Instagram: how do you stay so motivated to write?! Instead of talking about consistency, habit forming, & pushing through, I share TWO tactical, but gentle...

Today's episode is a SUPER vulnerable conversation about JEALOUSY! Because, let's be real, as ambitious women, sometimes, comparison can get the best of us. We look at another woman and think, "Dangggg! I wish I had what she has! I'm green with jealousy," right? I know I've thought that-- in fact, I've thought that recently. And it's really, really hard for...

In today's episode, we chat about a topic that you told...

Today we're chatting all about Self-Gaslighting & Intuition, which is such an important topic for ambitious women like us! In our society, we're trained to accept being "good" & even "fine" with our lives, jobs, careers, relationships, etc. to the point where we start to tell ourselves that we're CRAZY or DRAMATIC for wanting more. All of that is BS, righ...

The Power Within Her is ADDING some episodes that are just about writing! It'll stay a personal development & women's empowerment podcast, but I DO feel called to add a few episodes that empower women how to write books! The #1 question in my DMs right now is, "how do you write a book?"  So, I created three super empowering things to help answer this question: 1. My instagr...

It takes absolutely no effort to WORRY, right?! We can easily slip into those thought patterns & plan for the worst case scenario-- i.e.: I'm gunna fail, I'll waste my time/money, I won't get any customers, etc. But, if we're always planning for the worst, we're robbing ourselves of JOY. So, that's why we've got to challenge ourselves to plan for the BEST-- t...

Reflection, like we talked about last week, is a phenomenal self-empowerment tool! Last week, we talked about 3 specific reflection questions we can use to celebrate a goal, milestone, or accomplishment. Now, this week we're diving into ANOTHER super cool & empowering way that we can use reflection in that post-goal or accomplishment state, which is to get really, really clear on how we c...

Today's episode is all about CELEBRATING!!! Whether it's the mini-steps on a journey, any sort of milestone, or even the competition of an entire goal, we gotta  pause & CELEBRATE our faces off!

All aboard the tough love train, baby! Today's episode is a fiery pep talk style episode that's all about AVOIDING! Because let's be real: sometimes when it comes to our goals, applying for a new job, or even going to the doctor or dentist, we tend to avoid it because it's uncomfy or scary. Before we know it, we let "what if's" & hypothetical scenarios/storie...

Today is a very, very special interview with my youngest brother, Keeghan, who was diagnosed with cancer in summer of 2021. He reached out to me a few weeks ago to say that he wanted to start talking more about his experience with cancer & how it's changed him for the better. In our conversation, we tackle all the tough & important questions, such as how to navigate such a tough curve...

Today, we're chatting all about being SUPERRRRRR frustrated & stuck! When we're feeling THAT intense level of frustration and stuck-ness, we sometimes go into a fixed & scarcity mindset, which winds up making us dwell into that poor me/victim mindset place, as well as telling ourselves a whole host of other stories that do not serve us. Even though we're in the thick of feel...

Our society would have us believe that we can't take action before we're ready-- that is, you gotta have all the "i's" dotted & the "t's" crossed before you can move forward. But... does it HAVE TO be that way? Of course, it doesn't! Oftentimes, we use "not feeling ready" as an excuse, which unintentionally keeps us stuck.  The truth is ta...

When we're doing something we've never done before, we can sometimes go straight into STRESSED AF mode, right?! But... when we go straight there, we do ourselves a disservice because we're missing THE MOMENT!
