Unapologetically You

How many of you can honestly say that you are 100% unafraid to be unapologetically you in any situation? Say what you think, throw out seemingly crazy ideas, lean into shame, unafraid to be ostracized from the group….you name it. If you are like me, you might have thought that this is true, but I’ve

The Benefits of Managing Your Mind

I was really proud of myself yesterday. I was so self aware that I was able to redirect my thoughts in the moment to have a great result. I’ve been having issues with my laptop the past couple of weeks.  The fan went bad. Now normally, I would replace the fan myself, but in this

Why doesn’t XYZ Time Management work for me?

Would you agree that we are all unique? That no two people have had exactly the same experience in this world? You can see how this is logically true, right? Even your siblings who grew up in the same house as you did not have exactly the same experience as you. Those experiences created neural

Overthinking Leads to Stuck

I can’t believe how many of my clients, friends and coworkers overthink. Hell, I can’t believe how much I overthink. You know what you get when you overthink? Stuck. Like your tongue with a PBJ, stuck. No action. I’ve seriously been overthinking what I’m going to say to you since this morning. What an inefficient

Using Your To Do List as a Weapon

I can’t relax until everything I decided to do today is done. This is the thought several of my clients have had this week. I have it all the time as well. It might just be the calling card of the high achiever. It’s a very all or nothing statement. It’s driving us to push

Work Hard

Somehow or another my growing brain associated the following with that statement: Working hard requires lots of time Working hard requires sacrifice Working hard is no fun Working hard is stressful Not working hard is

The A-Z of Calm

In honor of #internationalcalmday, here are my A-Z tips to be more calm. Allow. Allow your emotions. Burying them or overpowering them makes them last longer Breathe. The stress response increases your respiratory rate. Intentional breathing techniques such as a 4-4-4-4 box breath can calm you right down. Curious. Get curious as to what you

Thought Habits

Our repeated experiences in our lives become our beliefs. Like a computer, our brain programs in these beliefs based on repetition. I like to call these thought habits. The brain does not care whether or not the belief is true.  Your brain only cares that the thought has been repeated; not if it is true.

Time and Money Mindset

If time and money were abundant, who would you be helping? What would you be creating? What would you be doing? What feelings would you be getting from these amazing things? I bet it wouldn’t be stress or overwhelm, would it? Stress and overwhelm almost always come from our mindset around time and money. We

I See You

Hey my friend. I see you.  Stressed to the hilt. Overwhelmed with everything you have on your plate. No clue how to get it all done. Worried that you are ruining your relationship with your partner, kids or friends because all you do is work or worry about work. Worried because you are starting to
