The holidays are coming and you don’t know how to feel. Should you be happy or dread? There’s this dissonance inside you. We love these people, but being around them is exhausting.

Theres a difference between wanting, making and having. We can want all we want, and create and achieve all our dreams and goals, but can we hold on to the success, the love, the marriage, the money?

Being able to understand that we are good enough no matter what we have and knowing that we are 100% lovable...

Our current beliefs are based on past thoughts that have been running in our head on repeat. In order to change our beliefs we need to find different thoughts to achieve a new outcome in our future and discontinue the past mistakes or patterns. The skill of believing is not knowing the steps that’ll get us there but rather believing we can have that result. Believing that we are worth it. When we...

Every situation can be categorized in five factors: circumstances that trigger our thoughts that generate a feeling, that cause us to action or inaction, which produces a result.

Patience is willingness to watch the ongoing moments of this life with a sense curiosity and amusement, instead of pacing up and down...

What are the thoughts and the facts about our circumstance? Circumstances are neutral and boring things that don’t mean anything unless we have a thought about it. The truth is, we choose what to believe. All our agency is in the thoughts we choose to have about the circumstance. Separating the two allows us to step out of our current thinking and find another way out, we can get out of the drama...

On this episode let's talk about past focused vs. future focused. This allows us to focus on our goals and not get stuck in our pasts.

Let’s talk about what can be one of the most difficult parts about our teens turning 18. I believe for some parents it is letting go, letting go of our role. Saying goodbye to being their mother in that sense or form. It can be difficult letting go of the child and embracing the adult.
