"I just do what I'm told." That's what one of the people in a business coaching group I'm part of said recently, and as soon as I heard it, I knew I had to do a podcast episode about it. Blindly following along with what someone else tells you to do without stopping to use common sense, check in with yourself, and see if it's the right fit for you is a mistake.   You need to be able to do the work...

I might start calling these episodes "Tough Love Tuesdays, " ha!  Listen, no one has it all figured out.  I want to make that exceptionally clear.  The polished, pretty photos on Instagram rarely show the full picture and none of us has our shit together.  This episode topic really spoke to me because it's been an emotional roller coaster of a year (for various reasons, professional and personal)...

It feels like gratitude is becoming some sort of fad with the number of times I hear it mentioned lately, especially on social media. However, it's for excellent reason: Learning to look for gratitude retrains your brain to search for gratitude in everything. How cool is that?!  It's the habit and attitude we can easily cultivate, and it keeps giving back to us tenfold in a forward-feed cycle. The...

When I was prepping for this interview, I went back to look at what I had written about Meg: Unapologetic about who she is and the career she chos...

Consistency. It's the biggest issue I hear from people.  I ask a couple of questions as women request to join the Room to Grow Facebook group, and the most popular response I receive is that consistency is the biggest issue holding them back from reaching their goals, particularly when it comes to nutrition. It makes total sense, because it's a little too easy to break promises to ourselves, put o...

As human beings, we've evolved to crave comfort and settle in to what we know.   Our comfort zone, however, is not where life-changing shifts are made.  In order to do that, we have to get very comfortable being uncomfortable.   I recently surveyed my  Room to Grow Podcast Facebook group  and one of the big stressors that popped up among the responses was not knowing how to get uncomfortable, and...
