In this week’s episode of The Orange Butterfly Effect , I’m sharing my notes on how to build habits that actually stick and how to turn small actions into part of your identity by, in the wise words of James Clear ( Atomic Habits ), “reducing the scope and sticking to the schedule.” Because sometimes, five minutes is...

In this episode of The Orange Butterfly Effect, I get to exhale with Kailin Bouse, a t...

That’s exactly what your personal brand should do too. Now, how would that same best friend describe you ? That’s your personal brand. (And yep, you already have one.) But are you happy with that description? Or is it time for a rebrand? In th...

Have you ever met someone who always seems to be thriving, no matter their circumstances? They’re resilient, adaptable, and completely unfazed. These people don’t just have technical skills or an advanced degree. And they’re not simply “lucky” (even if it looks that way). They’re in on the secret. People who thrive typically have what are called Meta Skills. I’ll be honest, the concept was new to...

You know how this month we’ve been talking about wellness, adopting an athletic mindset, and training for life?

You’re back with me this week! Is September the new January? It sure feels like it. Even Good Morning America is talking about how Labor Day, back-to-school season, and the end of summer vacations spark that itch to reset, revisit goals, and finish the year strong. But here’s the real question: what happened to those shiny New Year’s goals? Still on track? Somewhere in between? Totally out the win...
