Do you ever notice that when you’re motivated and ready to do big things, some passive-aggressive troll comes along and tries to lasso you back to where you were?

We are a society of constant oversharing. And, with a plethora of social media platforms at our disposal, it has reached absolute new levels. Quite exhausting levels - if you ask me. Not every move or moment in life and business needs to be announced, and our sharing habits are setting us up for failure. In this episode, we’re digging into why we do this and how we can regain power by pulling back...

2020 was a dumpster fire to begin with, but in October things went really REALLY wrong in my life. I didn’t see it coming, and everything (including this podcast) was put on hold while I navigated the most exhausting and stressful experience I’ve ever faced. It wasn’t supposed to happen this way. Truthfully, I’m still a bit raw. But, I’m turning my pain into purpose and jumping back in the driver’...

Are you constantly comparing your life, your business, or even your relationships to others? Friend, the comparison game is REAL. And tough. The stale advice of unfollowing accounts that make you feel less-than, or reading inspirational quotes about you being the only YOU that ever existed doesn’t actually fix the problem. You see, it’s not so much about handling the game, but working on our PERCE...

We ALL want to feel understood right? It makes us feel connected to other people, less “alone”, and even serves the purpose of making us feel “right” or “validated”. But what happens when people don’t understand? I was once a little girl that thought she could do anything and everything, and somewhere along the way that confidence and purpose was lost. But, I’ve brought her back, and I now underst...

We are all just “soooooo over the drama”, right?! Mmmm, but are we really? Drama starts YOUNG, and it seems to grow and ingrain itself into our lives as adults. At the end of the day, it’s our responsibility to stop fueling it and stop creating the culture we say we hate. It’s okay to step away, avoid the drama, and let people go. It’s okay not to want opinions about every move in your life. So -...

It feels REALLY good to be in demand, right? Whether that looks like a busy social calendar, having hundreds of likes on your latest Instagram post, or being the go-to person in your professional field. Our ego LOVES it.

Yep, I said it. You should NEVER have a side hustle! I know what you’re thinking - the girl who is all about entrepreneurship should be telling you to get after it right? Well you SHOULD - but not the way everyone else is telling you to. The grind that lives behind an additional income stream deserves to be called what it is - a business. It’s time to own your efforts and get clear on your goals....

Crappy day? Month? YEAR? I’m right there in the trenches with you, dude. But, we HAVE to figure it out. No one is swooping in to save us anytime soon, so it’s up to us to keep going and make it happen. In business, in life, in relationships - whatever.
