Today, we're extending the conversation about sneaky energy wasters by diving into how grudges & drama can put us into a negative headspace, lower our vibrations, and get in the way of living a life that makes us dancing-in-the-grocery-store-aisles-kind-of-happy! First, we identify how grudges & drama negatively impact us, and then, we dive into how to navigate them in ways that are e...

Today, we're chatting all about sneaky energy wasters! Let's be real, when stress and overwhelm set in, sometimes we don't even realize that our time/energy is being wasted. And with all the places that we want to go and all the things that we want to do in this life, you and I don’t have time for nasty thought patterns & habits that don't serve us! So, listen in to hear al...

Today's episode was inspired by a speaking gig I had the other day. Long story short, the women I was speaking to in a social media mastermind were struggling with the execution of their ideas-- in other words, they had ideas but they struggled to post them. That said, we talked about how failing to execute is 100% a mindset issue. Even though I was talking about social media with these women...

Today's episode is inspired by a woman in my FREE writing community called, Writer's Corner! If you're listening to this episode in real time, in the month of August 2022, I'm hosting weekly working sessions where we write for an hour and then whoever joins live gets to ask me whatever writing questions they have at the end. As we chatted after writing, we talked about how it c...

Ashleigh Alm-- a friend & fellow podcaster-- is BACK on the podcast to share her incredible story of MOVING 1,800 miles across the country by HERSELF!

After Ashleigh tells her story, we chat about overcomin...

Today's episode is a super fun & flowy conversation with my friend and fellow podcaster, Savannah, about something brilliant she said-- "a day late, right on time"-- during a conversation we had in June! This phrase sounds wrong, but it's seriously so spot on because it reminds us as ambitious women that timelines are arbitrary, it's empowering to do things on your own...

In this interview, Lindsey shares the story that led to her writing her book, I Got 99 Coping Skills & Being a B*tch Ain't One !

Those daily endeavors-- aka: seeds-- aren't always fun or sexy, but damn-- they're WORTH IT! Listen in for two ways that I'm planting seeds in my current season. 

Today we're talking about feeling UNQUALIFIED! We all know that it's not fun to feel unqualified, but... it also doesn't have to be a bad thing, either. If we reframe feeling or even being unqualified as an invitation to learn the skills or gain the experience that we need to get that job, the promotion, the book deal, the brand partnership, or whatever else it is that we want, amaz...

The number one thing women are saying to me right now is, "I KNOW that I want to write a book, but IDK if it's the right time or not?" If that's you, girlfriend-- I get it! Life is a wild rollercoaster, and sometimes we have the bandwidth to make writing a priority, but other times, we don't. In our society, we don't talk enough about how sometimes our desire to do so...

Today's guest is Kristina Ellis-- a lawyer, author, ADHD advocate and educator, and the host of the NBD Podcast-- who is here to share her story about being diagnosed with ADHD! For many years, Kristina had no idea she even had ADHD, which made fitting into predetermined systems at school and work difficult to adopt. Many of her peers thought she was "weird" for having to do things...

Today's episode is inspired by a recent writing coaching client of mine. She asked me, "how do you make writing at 5 AM work for you?!" So, I had to do an episode on it! Because here's the thing: like everything in life-- writing included-- it's not a one-size-fits-all. Just because one person writes at 5 AM at her desk in the pristine quiet doesn't mean that you have...

Today, Roger & I have been married for three years! I thought it would be fun to do an episode together, but we weren't sure what to talk about-- so, I asked you on Instagram what questions you had for us and BOOM! You came up with AMAZING questions about how we met, how we celebrate, supporting one another, competition, and how we use love languages & the enneagram to communicate. We...

What's up, friend?! Today is a super fast episode that I recorded in real time as my husband, Roger, and I prepared to go on a hiking trip to Colorado. We were holding ourselves to such high expectations-- especially in regard to the monstrous to do lists we "had to" accomplish before the trip-- which made us miserable & super stressed out! Oftentimes, we put so much unnecessary...

Today's episode is a SUPER vulnerable conversation about JEALOUSY! Because, let's be real, as ambitious women, sometimes, comparison can get the best of us.

And it's really, really hard for...

Today we're chatting all about Self-Gaslighting & Intuition, which is such an important topic for ambitious women like us! In our society, we're trained to accept being "good" & even "fine" with our lives, jobs, careers, relationships, etc. to the point where we start to tell ourselves that we're CRAZY or DRAMATIC for wanting more. All of that is BS, righ...
