It's Spooky Season over at the Can’t Believe I Made It Podcast and we’re not pulling any punches when we tell you about the three rituals that are the Michael Myers to your success (pun intended). I tend to see these across the board when I’m trying to break down what someone's areas of “stuck” are and I want to help you get out of your own funk. So let’s chat about alcohol, your codependency, as...

Can we usher in the idea that we actually don’t really know what our future selves need or want? In this pod we dive into Shankar Vedantam’s Ted Talk where he explains the dope impact of something he calls the "illusion of continuity" -- the idea and belief that our future selves will share the same views, perspectives, and hopes as our current selves -- and shows how we can be way more proactive...

What if I told you that all the hard work you are navigating could all be canceled out by one horrendous character trait? Think about it. You could be the hardest worker “in the room” but if you’re horrible to collab with then there aren’t going to be many people lining up to mentor and/or follow you. This brings us to today’s Mentorship Monday episode as we discuss “The Power Of Zero” and how bui...

If you were to personify your inner dialogue into a person, be honest, would you hang out with them? The likely answer is a resounding, “Hell, No!” correct?  I hope so!

Friends! Podcast Fam. It finally happened. It’s crazy because, after three years of constantly trying to mold my life around my family and personal safety, that positive test finally came. And while the most challenging part was being away from my family for 14 days, I put the “5 Minute Rule” from season 5 into context. I'm not going to lie; the first 24 hours were TOUGH, but every day I kept gett...

When’s the last time a “painful truth” slapped you in the face? How did it feel? Did you get lost in a shame spiral?

I got you, let’s talk about systems of habits and rituals that help you to create a foundation of how you spend your time, and how to be proud of the progress that you’re making it.  We’ll do this through a weekly check in system that I personally use with my clients, so here are the different areas that you can begin building awareness...

We can learn a lot from High-Level Athletes not only because of their experiences, their wins, and their failures; but because of who they learn from. Today’s Mentorship Monday dives into the mind of an Olympic Athlete and something that a mentor of hers taught her which was the “Rule of Thirds.” So tune in as we discuss Lexi Pappas “Rule of Thirds” on the Rick Roll Podcast. When I heard it, I had...

Can we all get prepared for what’s about to happen!?  Our highest grossing convo to date was with the amazing Jessica Isaacs in S5 and I’m sure this will accompany how special our first conversation was and is about to be.  We went into big life updates (because Jess is friggin amazing), talked about more imposter syndrome, and how her purpose has evolved over the last year, and much mor...

Tune in High Performers as we listen in to Cordae’s five must-haves that brought him from a High Schooler d...

Are you going through it? Have you been questioning why you started this whole process of becoming a High-Performing/High-Level individual?  Well, you are not alone! There seems to be something in the water because a lot of the people I’m working with are going through it, too. But guess what, you started this process for a reason. Let me help you remind yourself while you’re built to overcom...

Between me and you. This break WAS NEEDED!

Did you know that back in 2008-09 (and reported in the early 2010s) UC Berkeley did a study on the “High Five” and found that teams that engaged in more high fives, support, and camaraderie, were also the same teams that did the best in the 2014 season!  Crazy, right? So naturally, you should probably do more high fives as well, right? Yup, you guessed it!  Tune in to learn more! ***Also...
