In this episode, we are talking about the #1 thing you can do to make sure tomorrow is a productive and awesome day.   I’m sure you know the importance of a good morning routine.   But what you may not know is that a rock-solid morning routine – the kind that kickstarts you and your day for maximum focus and to feel more in control, calm, and like the rockstar that you are…    It doesn’t start whe...

In this episode, you and I are getting a masterclass on the topic of love.   And it’s not what you think.    This is not an episode about relationships – it is an episode about YOUR relationship to love and how you can let more love into your life.    My mission with this episode is to inspire you to stop and consider the profound subject of love, how important it is, and why you deserve to feel m...

In this episode, I’m getting brutally honest with you about relationships.    Our conversation begins with a question from a listener who asked me for advice on how to make your relationship go the distance in this messy modern world.   I’ve always shied away from giving relationship advice, mainly because after 26 years of marriage, I know the only secret is this: it takes a lot of consistent wor...

In this episode, you will learn how to deepen your healing by understanding how your parents may have created silent trauma that is still impacting you as an adult.   I want to introduce you to a woman who has had a really big impact on my own healing.    She is the renowned psychologist and #1 New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Nicole LePera, who you may also know as The Holistic Psychologist...

In this episode, I’m making the topic of trauma easier to understand by taking you step by step through my recent revelation that I was struggling with past trauma.   I was one of those people who thought I didn’t have trauma. And you may be like that too.   But if you have trouble managing emotions, expressing your feelings, dealing with upset, you go on edge easily, you have trouble focusing, or...

In this episode, you’re about to learn how to make your new habits stick.   If you’ve struggled to be consistent with behavior change, you’re not alone. It’s easy to talk about habits. It’s a whole different thing to apply the science to your life.   You are not the problem.   The problem, when it comes to habits, is the lack of systems and hacks that help you stay consistent.   There are 5 very s...

In this episode, you’re going to learn exactly what you need to form new habits.   Even if you think you already know everything there is to know about habits, you probably still struggle to apply this knowledge and make change stick.   And if this topic is brand new to you, don’t worry; I have a way of explaining it that’s fun, and so simple even a 5-month-old puppy can understand it.   Just beca...

This is the pep talk you need.   Change is hard.   Which means you’re going to want to quit or give up.   I call those moments F*** It Moments.   Today’s episode is a little different because you’re going to hear me get in someone’s face who is about to throw in the towel on a big goal and a promise that she has made.   When you hear me coach her, it will be like I’m coaching you.   And once you’r...

This episode will help you set the right goals for you.   Goals matter. They make your life easier and they create a sense of purpose and meaning.   But most people don’t set goals the right way, which is why they fail before they even start.   That’s not going to be you.   This episode is a comprehensive toolkit that will help you set the goals that inspire you and make you feel excited about the...

I want this year to be the best year of your life.    So we’re going to talk about the one habit that researchers say has the biggest, overall impact on the quality of your life.    And that habit is learning to be kind and loving to yourself.    We all know we need to learn how to love ourselves, but no one has taught you HOW.    Until now.   In this episode, I am teaching you how to start loving...

Have you ever had one of those years where life seems to punch you in the face?   Where one thing after another knocks you down, over and over, until you start to feel like you are never getting back up.   Well, that was this past year for me.   People I trusted betrayed me. Plus, I was living 150 miles away from my husband and son, alone in Boston during the week for work. I never saw my friends...

I’ve got a very special invitation for you today.   Grab a spot on the couch next to me and my family here in Southern Vermont.    Join our family as our three kids discuss all the parenting mistakes Chris and I made – and the things we did that built trust and brought us all closer.   I’m really excited and proud to share this with you, even though there are moments where my kids absolutely schoo...

I know you’re busy. Which is why today’s message is the one thing you need to hear right now.   I need this message too. We all do.   Because there’s only one thing I want you to do this week:   NOTHING.   That’s right. I want you to do absolutely nothing.   No, I’m not smoking anything funny when I say this. I’m dead serious.   Hear me out.   There is an art and a science to doing nothing, and we...

I’m checking in on you and me. There's a lot going on in the world right now, and I am still reeling from the news that Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss died from suicide.   If you had to ask me to list the 5 most positive people on the planet, The Rock would be #1, and tWitch would be #2.   Having lost too many friends and people I love to mental health challenges like depression, addiction, trauma, and hop...

I’ve lived with ADHD, dyslexia, and anxiety for most of my life.   And I’ve spent the last decade immersed in research around how to improve my mental health, but only recently did I realize there was a big missing piece to the puzzle when it came to being happier, more confident, and more present.   That’s taking care of the brain.   Your brain is your problem-solver. It’s your memory keeper. It’...

Today you and I are digging into three things you must accept about other people.    It took me years to understand these truths.   It sounds horrible, but I always wondered, “What’s wrong with people? Why don’t they change?”   I know you can relate. Because today I’m taking your questions about trying to change other people.    You’re frustrated by the fact that your spouse or partner won’t exerc...

Have you ever had such a powerful coincidence happen in your life that you think…   This must be a sign.   The person sitting next to you at an event turns out to be part of the team you’re interviewing with next week.   There is a hummingbird outside your apartment window on move-in day, and your grandmother always said she’d come back as one.   You’re sitting in your favorite coffee shop, thinki...

I was lying in bed one morning, and all of a sudden it hit me…   If I ever want to be truly happy, I have to stop doing THIS.   So do you.   What is this thing we need to stop doing?   I call it the “Campaign of Misery.”     In the background of your mind, there’s a campaign of misery running on a loop. And until you stop it, you will never experience the happiness, joy and contentment you deserve...

Buckle up and get ready to take notes because this episode is a masterclass.   The tools you’re about to learn will help you become more confident, influential, and even make more money.   Today, we’re talking about The “It” Factor.   Some people just seem to have IT, right?   When I think of The It Factor, people like Oprah, The Rock, Taylor Swift, the Dalai Lama, and Martin Luther King, Jr. come...

Whatever you're doing right now, stop and make time for this conversation.   Every single day, I get questions from listeners about self-love, self-hatred, and what it actually means to like yourself.   I understand why it’s confusing.    The topic of self-love is so broad, and there is very little actionable advice on how exactly you learn to like yourself, especially if you’ve spent your whole l...

I want you to get serious about inserting fun back into the holidays this year.   It might seem odd to have an entire conversation about fun. But here’s why we have to: most of us aren’t having any.   In fact, it’s gotten so bad that researchers have a term for it: “a fun drought.” You’re not alone – 97% of people want to have more fun.   And wouldn’t it be fabulous if you had an absolute blast wi...

I used simple research from Harvard Business School and UCLA to tame my fear of public speaking and become one of the most successful keynote speakers in the world.   I used this same tool to overcome my fear of flying.   If nerves or fear are holding you back from applying for that promotion, asking someone on a date, speaking up at a meeting, or traveling to another part of the world, this brain...

What if you could show up in any relationship feeling secure, exactly as you are?   You didn’t have to overthink every text you sent.    You wouldn’t have to play the dating games.   If somebody ghosted you, it wouldn’t be the end of the world.    Well I’m here to tell you today that you CAN be that person.    Meet the phenomenal Dr. Marisa Franco, New York Times bestselling author of “Platonic” a...
