In this episode I am sharing some thoughts on how to own your past. This may seem counterproductive since we are always told to stay in the present moment, but have you ever thought about how much energy, time, thoughts, are spent replaying your past?

In this episode I am sharing the concepts of recognizing our default patterns. These are the deep patterns, shadows or limiting beliefs that we have held onto for years.

In this episode I am talking about perfectionism and how it is a 20 ton block that we hold onto to keep ourselves "safe, protected and we believe unaffected by the potential opinions and judgements of others." As Brene Brown says, "If I look perfect, live perfect, work perfect, I can avoid or minimize criticism or blame." Perfectionism is a learned behaviour that typically comes from childhood and...

In this episode I am sharing the concepts of learning to hold more and not carry in. This concept hit me when I was working through some negative feedback, challenging dm's, people asking for support and so much doubt about how to show up.

In this episode I wanted to share a simple concept that I learned from another coach that hit home. It all comes down to the HOW, and wanting to have the perfect plan in place before we start anything. 1) The how is irrelevant. We only ever learn the how in reverse.
