Unfilter Yourself

Do you ever catch yourself comparing yourself to other people? If we're not careful, spending too much time and energy in comparison can leave us stuck. It can cause us to question our abilities and can keep us from moving forward. In today's episode, I share ways we can reframe comparison that allow us to see other people as examples of things we are striving to achieve, and if we allow ourselves...

My daughter is finishing up her first year of college, and, while I'm sure she's learned A LOT, I feel like I'm the one learning! So today, I wanted to share with you 3 lessons I've learned from my daughter's first year of college. Lesson number 1: I know a lot of people like to say that college isn't for everyone. And while it may be true that not everyone needs a college degree, there is value i...

Are you holding yourself back from starting something you want to start because, subconsciously, you don’t trust yourself to follow through?  If you’ve ever started something in the past, or made a commitment to yourself to start something in the past, and you’ve quit – or you haven’t been as successful as you set out to be – those perceived "failures" may have subconsciously chipped away at...

Today I’m giving you a little bit of a life update. Because when I first started this podcast, I told you I was going to talk about things I was dealing with and learning and navigating through in real time – whether it was related to business and entrepreneurship, or family and single parenting, or even just life in general.  And so today, I just wanted to be real for a little bit with some...

You've heard the phrase -  It takes money to make money! But is it true?? Do you really have to HAVE money to MAKE money?? In today's quick bitch sesh, I say NO! In all fairness, there is value to having money to be able to invest in the coaching and the resources to be able to make money FASTER. But that doesn't mean that's the only way. There is no shortage of free information out there, if...

In today's episode, we talk about the difference between having a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, and how to know which one you might have based on your beliefs and how you respond to certain circumstances in life.  The 5 different areas or categories we talk about as they relate to mindset are:   1. What you believe about your own abilities 2. What you believe about failure, or...

Anytime you're faced with deciding whether to say yes or no to an opportunity, you need to consider the opportunity cost. Because saying yes to one thing means you're saying no to something else. After you've considered the opportunity cost and you've made your decision, it's important to remember that "No" is a complete sentence. And it doesn't require an apology. And regardless of which opportun...

This episode is just a quick bitch sesh on what I think about the saying “When you do something you love, you never work a day in your life.”  Here’s a hint.  I think it’s crap.  Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Here's all the links! The 30-Day Purpose Journal: Reconnect with yourself, realign with your purpose, and reignite your dreams  The Journal Episodes:   Ep. 14: Th...

You know those days when you feel like you’re working and working and working, but you don’t feel like you’re getting any traction? Like you’re just spinning your wheels, but you’re not actually getting anywhere? Sometimes we get so caught up in the daily grind of just working and never slowing down, the quality of what we’re working on actually starts to go downhill. Despite the constant hard wor...

Many people are in pursuit of a work-life balance. Then there are many other people who are adamantly against the idea of work-life balance, and believe it’s not possible or even realistic.  Both are right.  And.  Both are wrong.  Because most of the time, neither perspective is looking at the bigger picture.  Having balance in your life isn’t about spending equal amounts...

Have you ever struggled to do something you really wanted to do because you just didn’t feel confident doing it?  Or maybe there’s something you really want to do, but you stop yourself from starting because you look around and see countless other people doing that same thing, and you tell yourself that you’ll never be able to do it as well as they are. Or that there isn’t room for you in tha...

Things don't always go according to plan. And when that happens, it's important to know the difference between what you have control over and what you don't. Maybe you've heard the serenity prayer... Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference. When things don't go according to plan, one of the most impor...

Are you a member of the "5 a.m. Club"? Are you a morning person? Or are you a night owl? Or... are you so effing tired all the time you don't even know what you are because you've never caught up on sleep long enough to ever feel focused? In this episode, I talk about why I'm not a member of the "5 a.m. Club" - I tried, I really did! It just wasn't for me! I talk about my morning routines. Yep, ro...

If you really want to change your life - if you really want to change your reality - it isn't enough to just change your conscious awareness and the conscious choices you make in response to the world around you. Because research has shown that up to 95% of what our brain does is completely at the subconscious level. Which means that 95% of our emotions, our behaviors, our thoughts and feelings, t...

Every relationship - every friendship - serves a specific purpose in our lives. Even if the relationship doesn't turn out to be a lifetime relationship. Even when a relationship comes to an end – the end may hurt and you may be quick to believe that the relationship was a waste of your time because it ultimately came to end – but during the course of the relationship, that person served a purpose...

Today's episode is in response to a question that seems to keep coming up. But it's one of those questions that's asked from a place of judgment rather than of actually wanting an honest answer. And the problem with this question is that it leads people to second guess their dreams. It leads people to second guess their goals. It leads people to question their purpose and even judge themselves.&nb...

All the time...

This is Part 1 of a 2-Part Series. This is the "Strategy" episode. I'm getting really detailed on both the strategy and the mindset around turning your dreams into real goals and turning your goals into real habits - and then actually making it all happen. And I'm talking the BIG dreams. And since I'm not Rachel Hollis or Ed Mylett, I figured you might not want to listen to an hour and half long p...

If you want to change your life, change your environment. Our environments have so much influence over us. And that influence can be either positive or negative. Our environments consist of both the actual physical environments we spend our time in - our homes, our workplaces, where we "hang out" - and the people we choose to spend our time with. And it's equally important to be aware of how all a...

Having a dream or a vision to guide your direction is so super important! But it's equally important to be open to allowing that vision to shift as you move in whatever direction you feel guided to go - even if it looks different than you may have expected. Because sometimes things come up along on our way to pursing our dreams, our visions, and our goals, that nudge us into a slightly different d...

Too often, we set these big goals, and then we think we have to wait to celebrate until we actually hit the goal. But it's important to celebrate the progress and the milestones you hit along the way! Just like a basketball team celebrates every single point they score on their way to a tough win, you need to celebrate every single "point" you make on your way to your big goal! Today, I'm celebrat...
