Have you ever heard of the phrase "A Call to All is a Call to None?" The concept is that when you make an ask to EVERYONE, you're not being SPECIFIC enough, which means the likelihood of getting the response you'd hoped for isn't very high. Similarly, when we try to be open about ALL THINGS or liked by EVERYONE or good at EVERYTHING, we don't give ourselves the freedom or JOY of really honing in on what we care about. In this episode, we are focusing on getting CLARITY so that ...

This episode is just a friendly reminder that life just isn't that SERIOUS! My hope for this episode is that it gives you permission to RELEASE any pressure you feel to be perfect, "get it right", or perform in ANY area of your life, no matter how small. Life is FUN and MESSY. The next time you find yourself dwelling on something and feeling immense pressure to make the right decision (or even finding yourself procrastinating making a decision), ask yourself "is it that serious? will t...

Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I’m just so busy,” or labeling someone else as “so disciplined,” “so organized,” or “such a hard worker”? In this episode, I’m unpacking the subtle (and sneaky) way we project identities onto other people—and onto ourselves—and how those words quietly shape our relationships and our reality. This conversation was sparked when someone told me (multiple times!) how busy I must be. And while that may have been true in past seasons, it made me pause and ask:...

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a conversation that truly made me pause and reflect — the three core pillars that determine whether we’re actually making progress… or unknowingly holding ourselves back. What started as a lesson inside a nutrition accountability group (shoutout to a concept I learned from a registered dietitian I’ve followed for years) quickly became something so much bigger. While the framework was originally shared in the context of weight loss, I couldn’t stop thinking abou...

What version of "success" are you chasing... is it even yours?? After leaving my job and stepping into a season of job searching, I’ve had so many interviewers ask what I'm looking for next and I've really had to stop and figure out what MY answer to that question is, rather than just what I think sounds good to them (or other people). Today's episode is all about how we ALLOW other people to dictate what SUCCESS means for us and a 3-step plan to QUIT doing that so that we can live our live...

Today's episode is all about the REAL and RAW feelings of JEALOUSY that we all get sometimes. It sucks to feel jealous, but those feelings are just feelings... we can use them to our ADVANTAGE rather than letting them keep us STUCK. In this episode, I share how we can use jealousy as a TOOL to: 1) give us CLARITY 2) show us proof of what's POSSIBLE The 2 step-plan you need to turn that jealousy into something PRODUCTIVE is to 1) let it be a SIGNAL that there is some unmet desire in yo...

Today's episode is all about THREE things I believe might be holding you (and me) back from your BEST SELF. Tune in for some tips on how we can catch ourselves doing these things so that we can MOVE FORWARD intentionally into whatever AMBITIOUS PURSUITS feel ALIGNED for us. 1. Using CONDITIONAL statements to describe ourselves 2. Putting DESTINATION before JOURNEY 3. Not building SUPPORT or COMMUNITY directly tied to our values/goals As always, thank you for listening and if you loved this e...
