Wake Up Your Life

I recently read Cal Newport's book, Digital Minimalism, and completed the 30 day digital detox he recommends. On this week's episode I share all about my experience so far and talk about my biggest takeaways!

On this week's episode I'm reflecting on how my summer went and sharing my intentions and hopes for fall! 

I wholeheartedly believe that gratitude changes everything! The more grateful we are the less fearful, angry, anxious and tired we live. On this episode I talk about the importance of gratitude and the impact it has on producing joy in our lives. I also share some suggestions on how to become a more grateful person.

We all know the feeling - you're laying on the couch, feeling lazy, wanting something to do that will give you energy but you have no idea what to do! In this episode I share 10 things that help give me energy and snap me out of that lazy couch potato funk and I hope these suggestions are helpful for you too!

I think we're asking the wrong question when it comes to our work, job and career path. This week I share some thoughts inspired by an email I received recently!

Spending time alone, in silence, with your own thoughts can be a daunting idea to some of us but in this episode I talk about the importance of that, the impact it can lead to in our lives and how it can help us love ourselves more.

On this week's episode I unpack my definition of a phrase I use often - "the best version of yourself"

On today's episode I discuss a weekly habit I've been prioritizing for several months now - I'm not kidding when I say it's literally changed my life! And I believe it can change yours too!

Do you and your spouse ever feel like roommates? Where you're so caught up in the day-to-day busyness and responsibilities that you don't feel like you're truly connecting?  This week's episode is all about how to get the spark back!

My intention on this week's episode is to demystify “your calling." For those of you who love and follow Jesus the word "calling" can carry a lot of connotations with it! And maybe a lot of stress and pressure too!  On today's episode I go into what I believe "calling" is - and hopefully help you understand what yours is too!  

Here's my encouragement to you this week: It's okay to be tired. It's okay to rest. The level of productivity in your life doesn't determine your value.

Today I'm talking all about the basics of our health. Sometimes taking care of ourselves seems way more complicated than it needs to be. So today, let's remember the basics and become really good at prioritizing them!

I’ve been thinking a lot about being present and truly appreciating the season I'm in. And remembering the truth that this exact season of life I'm in won’t happen again. Some of the circumstances I'm facing might repeat themselves, but the details will look and feel different next time. This has been both eye-opening and encouraging to me!

Saying no can be hard for some of us - we don't want to disappoint people, we don't want to seem weak or incapable or we don't want to slow down (even if we need to).  On this week's episode I talk about the importance of saying no sometimes. 

Maybe you need a break. Maybe you need a shift in perspective. But maybe you need more.  Maybe it's time to quit. 

This is my reminder to those of you who are married or in a serious relationship - have a check-in convo with your significant other!  What do I mean by that? I mean setting aside time to have a conversation about how you two can better serve one another, how you can pray for one another, how you're feeling in the current season of life and why.
