100% Awesome Podcast

Imagine yourself in the future you want. If future you could write a letter to yourself here in the present, what would you say? What would you thank yourself for? What decisions would you be so glad that you made now to create that future then? What would you be grateful to yourself for thinking and feeling and doing, to create that future moment then? For most of us, our future feels uncertain a...

You've probably heard me talk a lot about how coaching has given me the tools to change my life, but the decision to be coached didn't just impact me—it changed my family, my clients, my community, and the world at large. And it doesn't stop there. The changes I have made in my own thinking have generational impact as well. This is true of all of our choices. Every choice we make has a ripple effe...

Our lives are finite and our time on earth is precious. We each want to get the most out of our life experience but sometimes it feels like the things that happen to us, the actions of other people, and our own brains are preventing us from doing that. On today's podcast, I'll show you how the things that may appear to be keeping you from the life you want are the very things that will allow you t...

My life was completely changed by life coaching. The things I have learned and the skills I gained are among the greatest blessings of my life because they made every other part of my life better. It wasn't that coaching gave me things I didn't have. Coaching just showed me how to use what was already in me, the agency God had already endowed me with, to love my life and make the intentional choic...

We all want to do amazing things in our life, but for every amazing thing we create, there is a lot of discomfort that comes along with it. Success has companions. Results have "friends" that come with them that accompany their creation. You can't get one without the other. These result companions go by names like dread, inadequacy, anxiety, insecurity, terror, shame, and fear. They are the accomp...

A lot of people come to self-improvement because they want more for themselves or they want more from themselves. And when those desires comes from a feeling of not being enough yet, then self-improvement can be a very painful, never-ending quest.  Ironically, when we go after "more" without first establishing our fundamental enoughness, it won't create more, it only creates more not-enoughness. S...

Sometimes it can feel really hard to create something different in our lives. But it really isn't that complicated because the only thing between you and the results you want is a thought that can be questioned. If you aren't getting the experiences and results you want in your life right now, you're simply thinking a thought that is preventing you from having what you want. What are your costlies...

Every one of us is the child of the greatest creators in the universe and, because of that, we have each inherited an incredible capacity to create new things, new experiences, and new realities that don't currently exist. The prerequisite to creating new things is believing new things. Nothing springs into being without first existing as a thought. But how do you believe in things you can't see a...

Thought is the most powerful creative force in the world. That's why it's so important to carefully consider the thoughts you are choosing to think. How often do you ask yourself what you want to think, rather than just observing your thoughts? Any thought is possible and any thought is optional. You get to choose whatever thought you want, and nothing can ever take that choice away from you. And...

Shame is the most universal human emotion. We all feel it. And sometimes we think it's necessary to feel shame in order to change and to do things differently in our lives. However, shame is the enemy of change. Shame keeps us stuck and repeating the same behaviors because shame causes us to hide. And hiding doesn't help at all. To makes changes, we need to look closer, have more awareness, and cu...

You might have noticed that it's a lot easier to set goals than to keep working towards goals. This isn't because you are undisciplined or uncommitted or you lack "follow through." It's because your brain is programmed to get you to stop. All the time you are working on your goals, your brain has a biological reason to stop you. The good news is that your brain can't actually stop you from reachin...

As humans, we have all been given a body so that we can have this earth life experience, and yet, most of us have lots of thoughts that make our body wrong. But it doesn't have to be that way. Every thought you think is optional and the thoughts you think about your body are no exception. You can love your body! Without changing it at all! You just need to question the thoughts that make your body...

If we want to change any aspect of our life, it starts by changing our thoughts—which sounds simple, but can sometimes be easier said than done. During a recent renovation of our home, I was reminded of some important things to keep in mind when you are dismantling, changing, and reconstructing your thoughts. In this week's episode I'm sharing this experience and five takeaways that will help you...

Loving other people is the most challenging work we do as humans because love does not come naturally or easily to our brain. Our brain is programmed to be defensive and judgmental and self-righteous—and so is everybody else's. This creates a world that is full of conflict and judgment and criticism, and so learning to choose love, despite your brain's tendencies, has never been more important. Yo...

Grief is a normal, natural part of every human life. Whenever we experience any change or transition or loss, we can experience grief. However, even though grief is a regular part of the human experience, most of us are ill-informed about it and we often resist grief and the painful feelings we have when we are grieving. In today's episode, I'm talking with grief recovery specialist, Kelly Norton,...

Our children have as much agency as we do, which means that they have the unlimited power to decide their own life experiences. We are powerless in terms of their choices and that is by divine design. They get to choose and that's the way it's supposed to be. This only becomes a problem for us when we think that our children might choose wrong or that their choices might create suffering for them....

A lot of us have dreams for our lives—and as humans we each have unlimited, god-given capacity to make those things happen. There is no limit to what we can create or to what we can achieve or become. But to get any of that, we have to start. In many ways, starting is the hardest part. Starting means doing things differently, changing from one state to another, taking risks, and spending energy, a...

When I teach people that their thoughts are creating all the pain and all the results in their life, the question I get most often is, "But how do I change my thoughts?" In order to change our thoughts, we have to be very purposeful. New thoughts don't just happen to us. New beliefs aren't ever going to descend upon us uninvited. In fact, because your brain is programmed for survival, most of the...

When we realize that our beliefs are creating the results in our lives, the next thing we want to know is how we change and build those beliefs. It's a question that I get a lot as a coach because the better we get at believing, the more powerful creators we become. Building our beliefs is like building anything else—it requires effort and work. I think there are a lot of parallels between the wor...

Our brains spend a lot of time arguing with reality—telling us that things should be different than they are. But thinking things are supposed to be different leaves us stuck and disempowered. When we can't change the circumstances of life, we can still change the way we experience our life. And one of the best ways to do this is stop believing that things should be different when they simply aren...

A lot of us are committed to self improvement, but there is actually no such thing. You are already whole and so no matter what you do you can't improve yourself.  You can't get better, but you can change your life experience. You can create and design your life to be exactly the way you want it and the most powerful way to do that is through coaching.  In this special bonus episode, I'm sharing w...

If you could wave a magic wand and change any aspect of your life, what would you change? While you might not have a magic wand, you have something just as powerful—your brain! Whether you know it or not, you have created every result in your life—even the ones you wish were different—with your thoughts. This is the best news I can give you because it means you are more powerful that you realize a...

This is your life. Make the most of it. Don't just move. Decide the direction you want to go and start arriving at all the places in your life that you've always wanted to be. None of them are off-limits. There aren't experiences in life that are reserved only for other people or things that you are disqualified from somehow. Anything you want is available to you. You just have to get your brain o...
