Pace is defined as the speed of moving forward or ahead . How fast are you moving through life? Have you checked your pace lately?

ROI: Return on Intention 04.08.2021 21:14
We've all heard of ROI (return on investment), but what about a "return on intentions". The world has a polarizing focus on the monetary returns on investments, but what if our lives revolved around other forms of currency and thus other returns? A return on intention is being clear on what you're putting into any situation in your life, how you want to feel, and crystal clear...

Relationship with money: Part 2 21.07.2021 40:02
What is your money mindset? How has your history with money affected your present experiences? We live in a culture of more, more, more.

Unraveling from what you do to find out who you are 05.07.2021 22:43

Release expectations and own your outcomes 29.06.2021 33:48
In this episode, in order to showcase the work in real-time, we chose to hit record in the middle of a shared misunderstanding (i.e. argument) where both of our egos were flaring. Briefly after a little spat and disagreement, we pick up the mic to collaborate, reflect, vulnerably share, and take extreme ownership of ourselves in the situation. Tune in to see how it turns out :)

Success, how to define it, and how you know you’ve achieved it 16.06.2021 31:23
What a funny word...Success. It has such a broad definition for everyone. A lot of "success" in life has been assumed. Think about it. The definition of success isn't one that you make (without being wildly intentional), but rather it is consumed from your environments, upbringing, culture, society, media, and so much more. But imagine when YOU define success for yourself. How woul...
Micro moments, patterns, and your reality 09.06.2021 18:10
Living with intention isn't always realized in the big or tough moments of life. In fact, it is actually the little moments throughout each day where your intentions will showcase the universal magic. By having an intention you are able to recognize your patterns, see your real-life data, identify what you still need to learn from and mend, and above all else, be present in every experience.....
