Incremental Upgrade

#015 - In the past few years, I've made thousands of dollars selling things I was no longer using on OfferUp, which not only created more space in my home, but also helped me fill that void with more of the things and experiences I did want to create. As much as I love OfferUp for that exact reason, I've also had some pretty frustrating experiences that I hope this episode will help you pr...

#014 - It's goal-setting season, and if there's something new we're trying to call in, then one of the most powerful things we can do to set that intention is to clear a physical space for it. Sometimes that process can feel overwhelming, so the purpose of today's episode is to create a decluttering quick win to help you gain momentum on your latest goal(s) with an easy, feel-good...

#013 - Happy New Year, friends! There's a certain magic in the intentions behind our goals, but if you've ever found yourself pursuing one thing at the expense of everything else, you're definitely not alone. Some goals are big, fun aspirations, while others might be barriers we need to lift to get to the greener grass on the other side. We'll unpack all of that in today's epis...

#012 - Merry Christmas, friends! As much as I love the holidays, they can bring up a pretty mixed bag of emotions, so if you've encountered some holiday blues, you're definitely not alone. Our individual experiences are all different, but a pattern we may have in common is an expectation -- even if it's an unintentional one -- that the peace and joy we're hoping for will come from...

#011 - No matter how much inner work we do, there are always going to be situations that challenge us. From minor inconveniences to major life events, feelings of frustration are normal and inevitable. The good news is that curveballs don't have to control us, and the way we choose to respond in the present can help us feel better fast and also align us with surprisingly positive outcomes in t...

#010 - There's nothing wrong with wanting or needing to work a lot.. until it starts putting a strain on our wellbeing or our most important relationships. Creating work-life boundaries becomes a bit more complicated when we work from home and/or around our families, but the rewards of drawing some lines in the sand are worth it. To that end, here's what I have for you in today's episo...

#009 - We're taking a trip around the wheel of life today! This episode is a little different in that it's a list of 100 easy incremental upgrades for a healthier, happier life. We'll dive deeper on several of these topics in future episodes, but note for now that this is not a to-do list! Consider it more of an inspired action menu where you can choose one that feels right for you rig...

#008 - The amazing thing about gratitude is not only the sense of abundance it attracts into our day-to-day reality, but also the rapid shift it creates when used with intention in moments of scarcity. I truly can’t think of any one practice that's been more transformative in the past 12 years of facing some real challenges with my health, finances, relationships, and career than a determinati...

#007 - Whenever we're creating something new, releasing what no longer serves us can be such an exciting way to set that intention. Plus, doesn't it feel great to come home to a clutter-free space? Decluttering is one of my favorite incremental upgrades because it creates visible changes right away. Here's what I have for you in today’s episode by special listener request: 4 steps to s...

#006 - If you feel like social media is taking away too much of your time and attention, it's definitely not just you, and it's also not your fault. These platforms are designed to be addictive, and study after study points to how detrimental social media can be when it comes to our mental and physical health. Taking an extended break has been truly life-changing for me, but at the beginni...

#005 - Mornings can be such a powerful, peaceful, and productive part of the day — but they can easily become stressful and chaotic instead. They’ll also evolve quite a bit as we move through different seasons of life, so our challenge then becomes to adapt with intention so we can start the day in a joyful way. To that end, here’s what’s coming up in today’s episode: How to reverse engineer your...

#004 - Self doubt can be a sneaky thief, especially when we’re on the brink of a big change, and it’s robbed even the most inspiring people I know. The bad news is that I don’t think self doubt ever fully disappears if you’re the type of person who’s constantly growing and evolving, but the good news is that there’s always something you can do to feel better. Here’s what's coming up in today’s...

#002 - If I had to choose just one area of life where incremental upgrades have been the most transformative, it would be this. Losing 50 pounds was no easy feat in the first place, but keeping it off for over 10 years has been truly life-changing. There's so much more to unpack on this topic than I can possibly cover in a single half hour episode, but the intention today is to touch on a mind...

#003 - Overachievers, unite! If you've ever felt like your to-do list is competing with what you actually want to prioritize, you are definitely not alone. I love, love, love personal development and productivity, so it's super fun to bring the two together to feel more at peace and present for the things that really matter. Here's what's coming up in this episode: An absolute favo...

#001 - Welcome! I'm so happy you're here and excited to connect with you! I've noticed the universe nudging me to start this conversation for a while now, even before the practice turned into a podcast, so I'm extra excited it's finally happening! Long story short, I set out on a wellness journey 12 years ago that evolved into much more, and even in the midst of the biggest cur...
