Rock Your Brain. Rock Your Life

If you or folks on your team consider themselves high achievers ready for that next promotion, but find it challenging to identify strategies to build relationships in this hybrid or remote first work world, this episode is for you.  Those days of building relationships with management in the hallway, the proverbial “water cooler” moments, are now few and far between.    I’m sitting down with my c...

There’s not ONE human on this planet who has escaped some level of trauma and shame. Trauma and shame keep us small, scared, and filled with insecurities, and self doubt. Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, crime, a relationship breakup, death, or living through a natural disaster.  The shamed person doesn’t trust themselves, is always trying to fix themselves, an...

Most of us are learning new ways to manage ourselves in hybrid work. The good news is that you can navigate the hybrid workplace easily when you  understand your beliefs and how you show up in this new world.  There are three skills and beliefs that are helping my clients thrive and feel ease at work.  The first is curiosity which is your willingness to learn and grow. Hybrid work calls for learni...

You and your teams have enough time every day to get what you need to get done. Oftentimes there’s a sense of urgency to get things done quickly, but what if you were curious about that? Why do you and your teams feel you have to complete the P1s and then immediately tackle the P2s and then the next P’s? We’re conditioned by capitalism, and especially in the tech industry to move fast. Think about...

The patriarchy, capitalism, religion, and our schools feed us beliefs from the day we’re born that we grow up to believe to be universal truths. Beliefs like you must work hard to be successful, don’t waste time, be modest - don’t brag or be too confident. Yet 95% of our beliefs don’t serve us in creating that career and life we see  “other” humans can have, but don’t believe that could ever be us...

Human life is filled with nothing but decisions. We make thousands of decisions a day from what we eat to whether to see a doctor about a health concern. Yet,  so many of us make a million excuses to not make a decision about something important in our lives from whether we risk getting cancer to showing up exhausted at work, or in our relationships.  We believe our brains “stories” which show up...

This week I’m celebrating three years of coaching myself and being coached by a handful of amazing coaching I work with weekly. And this celebration and reflection of the past three years inspired for the podcast this week - figuring out when it’s worth doing something even though it feels hard.  We’re socially conditioned to go the easy route and lean away from difficulty. In the podcast today I’...

I've heard from so many clients, colleagues, and friends that they are just feeling burnt the f*ck out at work. So this week I'm sharing one of my favorite episodes of the Rock Your Brain. Rock Your Life podcast - Freedom At Work. My students often come to me with many negative thoughts surrounding work. They are badass women in tech and oftentimes they expect themselves to be delivering...

It’s time to talk about why you need to be an unpaid influencer. I’m an unpaid influencer for Dua Lipa, Elon Musk, Sara Blakely, and of course JLO.  I know what you’re thinking - what? Why would you be an unpaid influencer?  Well, being an unpaid influencer has brought me to where I am today - where you are today, listening to my 101st podcast episode... something I was scared shitless to do just...

If you ever feel like crumpling on the floor from exhaustion, overwhelm, and stress and don't know how you'll overcome it - this is a must listen episode. I got to talk with one of my favorite people, Melissa Chambers (MC) about how she broke through her personal burnout in 90 days of The Rockstar Program. From crying on the floor in her bathrobe before work to now feeling calm and confi...

Do you remember being in high school and playing sports or being a part of a group and wanting more? Thinking that if you get onto Varsity or get into that 'cool group' that you'd feel happier or life would be better? As adults, we are rewarded as a society when we climb the ranks of the ladder whether it's socioeconomic status, career, the house we buy, etc. The main reason we...

Today's episode is all about finally feeling free and breaking through burnout. This is part 4, if you haven't listened to part 1-3 yet, I highly recommend listening to those ones first and then coming back to this one as we wrap up the "Break Through Burnout," series. We will dive into what actually happens when we think we are falling behind, and how to correct this. Plus! So...

Today's episode is all about reconnecting with or creating for the first time, what you want your life to look like - outside of work. We've been socialized look externally to understand who we are. But this gets us stuck in an identity that might not always serve us. Like, "I'm a CEO" or "I'm an entrepreneur." Now don't get me wrong. Those are awesome...

We'll walk through the reasons we don't want to say no. Then I'll outline the 3 types of way that you can say no at work and continue to feel respected and confident as a te...

This week we are starting a new series to Break Through Burnout. There are so many external circumstances - the War in Ukraine, inflation, lack of employees in the workforce, child/elder care - that can be a massive weighty load on our brains and lives. There are many internal circumstances as well. In this episode I'll outline two simple tools to identify the thoughts + feelings to rewire yo...

If this episode inspired you, thank you for leaving a revi...

This week we're diving into our desires: identifying them, trusting them, and savoring the yumminess of just the feeling of wanting something - even if we don't achieve or get it. Would you believe me if I told you desires are medicine for your heart, your soul, your brain, your life? Probably not right? But they ARE. Society has conditioned us to suppress our desires. To keep them secre...

Would you believe me if I told you that when you trust yourself, your desires in life become possible? It's true. As trust is the firm belief in the reliability, truth, and ability of someone or something - if you trust yourself then you can have desires and choices that align with your word. In this episode, I'll share some examples of what life looks like when you don't trust your...

Do you find yourself waiting to the last minute to get a project done and end up dissatisfied with your work?  Or do you call yourself "lazy" if you don't do something you planned on doing? Or maybe you're constantly saying "I'm so busy" and aren't able to get everything done in a day... Friends, these are all forms of procrastination and procrastination is...

Is there a conversation you've been meaning to have but are putting off because of how difficult it might be? I understand, I've been there. BUT having a difficult conversation with a loved one or co-worker shows your commitment to your relationship with that person. That you are willing to address an issue, to resolve together. Difficult conversations can feel uncomfortable but in this...

Do you believe you’re good enough, flaws and all?  BIG question, right?  This week on the podcast we are getting to the root of worthiness and finding it within ourselves.  Worthiness is the root of self-judgment.
