[BEST OF 2019] Forgiveness Isn't Found, It's Earned: Doing the Inner Work 26.12.2019 42:38

"To err is human. To forgive, divine." -Alexander Pope When I posed some upcoming episode ideas on Instagram stories, forgiveness was one of the ones that drew the most attention. And I can understand why, because it's an incredibly complicated and complex issue for so many of us. Not only that, but it takes a great deal of strength to forgive someone who isn't sorry and to accept an apology y...

Aligning Values Over Goals 17.12.2019 16:37

Since it's the end of the year, the question of New Years resolutions inevitably comes up alongside a look back at the past year, what we've accomplished, and what we want to do and change for the year ahead. This is usually when we make a long list of goals, have high hopes for ourselves, and trying to stick to a handful of new habits for as long as possible. Which, as we all know, often doesn...

[BIZ TIPS] It's a Hell Yes or a F*ck No: Be Polarizing in Your Marketing 14.12.2019 21:49

Being polarizing has a way of making people sit up and take notice. It makes people say HELL YES or FUCK NO. And why do we want more no's in the world of online business?

Filling the Cracks with Gold: The Flaws Make You Stronger 10.12.2019 10:15

I was in Newport Beach in California a few days ago, and while walking along the boardwalk I met a woman when I stopped to pat her golden retriever, and we were talking about travelling and various life experiences. She reminded me of an old Japanese proverb I'd once heard about and forgotten, about how when a piece of pottery breaks, the Japanese fill the cracks with gold because it was believe...

The Fear of Success is Real: Everything Has a Price 07.11.2019 24:10

I have a confession to make: I've been hiding. Much as it might seem as though I've been putting myself out there more than ever, and I have been, I've also struggled with crushing levels of resistance to everything that I want to do and know that I am capable of accomplishing the past couple of months in particular. Leveraging my own extremely personal story into the spotlight has been daunting,...

Alone & Lonely Are Not Synonymous: Loneliness is a State of Mind 05.11.2019 21:01

Let's face it: most of us are feeling lonelier overall than we ever have before. But sometimes being alone and being lonely are often confused. What we sometimes forget is that we can be very happy alone. But usually when we're lonely, we want something to shift or change. The sad irony in loneliness is that it makes us feel like we're alone and isolated in feeling that way. And yet, so many o...

[BIZ TIPS] Show Your Face Without Fear: Getting on Live Video 02.11.2019 20:14

You know I'm still all about podcasting, but video is still important, especially for Instagram stories. That doesn't mean you have to be doing video trainings or Youtube videos, but you still need to be showing your face.

Positive Reinforcement Might Be Doing More Harm Than Good 31.10.2019 12:02

I don't agree with everything that Gary Vaynerchuk puts out into the world, but this Instagram post he did really struck a deep chord: "You're addicted: To people telling you you're pretty. To people telling you you're talented. To teachers telling you you're a good student. To opinions. The reason so many struggle with negativity is because they overvalue positive reinforcement." -Gary Vaynerch...

The Need for Closure is An Inside Job 29.10.2019 20:14

If you're like most people, you've tried to find closure at one point or another in your life. Whether it's the ending of a relationship, being ghosted, losing a friendship unexpectedly or perhaps a job, we seek closure so that we can try to find ways to move on. But it's easier said than done. Closure has come up a LOT for me this year, both in my own personal life and lately, with many of the...

[BIZ TIPS] How An Awkward Introvert Makes Friends Around the Globe 26.10.2019 37:05

BY POPULAR REQUEST: I'm breaking apart a topic that I've been asked about by so many people in recent months and how I seem to make friends fairly rapidly and seemingly everywhere I go in my global travels. I've even surprised myself at times, because I fully identify as being not only an introvert (which is not synonymous with shy, by the way), but I'm the first one to say that I'm usually the...

When Thing Go Wrong: Lessons From Crying in An Apple Store 23.10.2019 29:09

I cried in an Apple store the other day. 2 weeks without use of my laptop that refused to turn on, more than a dozen hours logged on the phone with Apple across divisions on 3 different continents, multiple round trip flights between flying to Honolulu from a different Hawaiian Island and then again from Bali to Australia just to have the same repair completed, and an urgently growing and anxiety-...
