How much do your emotions guide your decisions?  What if I told you that your emotions are actually records of the past and that they may be negatively impacting your future if you are making decisions today based on your emotions?  Would this change how you make decisions? Would your emotions (specifically the negative ones like fear and anger) hold as much weight now?  I dive into how this impac...

What is a life motto? Do you have one? I didn't. I do now though.

Sometimes things are falling together not apart.  It can be hard to tell the difference sometimes unless you step back from your circumstances and really look at whether it it is truly all falling apart or actually giving you a platform to bring it together in a way that matters more to you.  During this time of uncertainty, looks for ways that this change in how you live is actually serving you,...

It is pretty easy to list what is most important to us in our lives when we are asked BUT do our daily actions reflect what we've said? We can all easily list that our family, our health and our purpose is most important but is this what you're spending most of your day focused on?  Your current daily actions and what you are choosing to do and not do really tell the story of what is actually most...

Right NOW. This is it. You are being called to lead no matter your position or circumstance. We are all being called to lead. There are so many ways to lead right now. It could be with your family, with your friends, with your co-workers and employees or even on social media.  You can lead in small or big ways. You can lead by what you are doing, saying and who you are being OR you can lead by wri...

Action changes everything.  It changes how you feel. It changes your physiology. it changes your outlook. Action matters.  Action is the greatest antidote for fear.  Fear can no longer control you if you choose to take action. So, in a time when things feel so uncertain, when the future is unknown and when nothing is the same, action reduces your fear.  All you need to do is decide what you want t...

How do you keep going? How are you always so positive? How do you stay focused on what you want? I've been asked these questions over and over in my life. I got asked them when my baby died, when I went through my health crisis, as I walked my daughter through her medical misdiagnosis and now again in a more recent incident that was hard. How do I do it? I choose too. In all of these circumstances...

Hard things are going to happen. And in these tougher moments in life, you have a choice. You can choose to accept what is or you can deny reality and become a victim in the story. When you learn to live with what is, it gives you an opportunity to walk through whatever it is you are going through and choose to create something different. If you fall victim to the circumstance and start the "why m...

Regardless of whether you are consciously creating it or not, you are CREATING an impact with how you show up, what you say and what you do.  So, the question is... Do you like the impact that you are making?  Are you happy with the energy that you are putting out there, the impact that you are having on your family and friends, your co-workers or employees and the people that you interact with ea...

I listen to a lot of different podcasts when I'm at the gym from Andy Frisella's Real AF, The Ed Mylett Show, The Dean Graziosi Show, For the Love with Jen Hatmaker, The Rise Podcast with Rachel Hollis and The Jennifer Allwood Show all focused on business and personal development. They couldn't be more different and ultimately more similar. I am finding as I listen more and more that they all have...

Are you focusing on fighting the old or building the new?  This thought from a Socrates quote got me thinking. Is this why change is so hard?  Are our subconscious thoughts, our limiting beliefs and our past what makes change so hard? I really think so.  So instead of drawing from the past, if we choose to focus all of our energy on the future and what we need to take action on right now to create...

Why is this happening to me? Haven't I been through enough? I'm a good person. Why me? These are pretty normal questions we ask ourselves when we are going through something hard or when we have just walked through a hard time and the next one happens right away.  This question of why is almost impossible to answer right away. The answer will come at some point likely but this question doesn't alw...

Everything is energy.  So, if everything is energy, the energy in your home really matters. It impacts your personal energy.  Think of an area of your home that you don't like, that feels cluttered or doesn't feel quite right. It is impacting your personal energy. It even impacts how you feel when you think about it.  In this episode, I share what to do in your home to shift the energy and why the...

Ideal moments are few and far between but we tend to wait for them to happen whenever we are wanting to do something new, take a leap or make a change in our life.  We wait thinking the right amount of support will eventually show up, the right amount of money will be accumulated and the right time will magically appear.  Here's the deal though...we are waiting for something that likely won't happ...

I'll do it tomorrow... It can wait until the kids are older... Now isn't the right time because... There will never be a right time, an ideal time or a perfect time to start something new, to take the leap or to shift directions. The only time is NOW. Right now. That is all you have. So, if all you have is right now, are you creating what you truly want? Are you living with enough urgency? We don'...

I believe in the Law of Attraction. But... I also know that just because you can dream it and visualize it, doesn't mean that it will come into your life.  The Law of Attraction actually requires action. It requires doing things to get you closer to what you desire most and an openness to receiving things on the journey towards your dreams, desires and goals. To work for you, it requires focused t...

I heard this question a little while ago and it got me thinking about my life so much so that I made a note of it my phone and want to share it with you as well. Are you content or afraid? A very simple question that packs a big punch when you really start thinking about it.  Are you actually happy with the work you are doing or is there something in you that knows you should be doing more? If the...

The only limits you have are the ones you place on yourself. The only one limiting you is you. You are actually limitless.  When we realize that the only limits that are being put on us are from our past, our perspective and what we believe to be true, what we choose to do changes.  It's easy to look outside of yourself and say that your circumstances, your family and your work is limiting you but...

As you get deeper into this personal growth world and journey, there is an understanding that everything happens for a reason.  And when you know this and have recognized it in your life, sometimes you search for the reason before it is ready to be revealed. You rush the process and don't always see the message or get frustrated trying to understand why this is happening in your life.  I was doing...

What are you really good it?  What do people come to you for? What do you love to do?  This is your gift and it is the way that people are attracted into your life. We are all different and our differences are what make us special and are usually our gifts to share with the world.  Listen in to find out why it is so important to not only identify your gift but to share more of it with the world. ...

Laughter can really be the best "medicine". It lightens your energy, it shifts what you are thinking about and it changes your perspective. It lowers the negative self talk and it can open you are to hearing your intuition more when you aren't taking things so seriously. In this episode, I share a funny story about a trip to a drug store and things flying off the shelf at me. It could have been su...

We have all been there. We know what we need to do.  We maybe even started and then...p rocrastination gets the best of us. It sucks away our time, our confidence and our commitment to what we want to create. It can be for a few minutes, an hour, days or even weeks. I was in the depths of procrastination last week and decided in that moment (after a couple hours of "productive" but not important w...

One of the ways that I've created more freedom in my life is by actually creating more routines and rituals... I know that it sounds counterintuitive but it is so very true. The more routines you have, the more freedom, time and energy can be created. Listen in as I share some of my routines, why they are so powerful, how they changed my life, how I use my time and what you can do to create more f...

Just one minute more... Sometimes this is the difference between success and failure or between feeling more accomplished or like a failure. One minute more. What would happen if you spent one minute more in meditation, working out, on that project, with your child focused on what they are saying, being present with your partner or listening to the needs of clients? How would that minute impact yo...
