Who has watched Thor's new show, "Limitless"?If not, put it on your list!Chris Hemsworth takes on all these different challenges and brings on experts to help him prepare for them. He also happens to be hilarious...and a little easy on the eyes...In the second episode, after going through a few days of training for his upcoming challenge, his brother asks him does the training make it any less uncomfortable. And he says..."I don't if it's any less uncomfortable or you're just more familiar with being uncomfortable"Man...did that resonate with me. Sometimes it does get easier.Other times and I would argue MOST times, it doesn't. We just become used to the challenge and are therefore, more equipped to handle it. But if you always wait for it to become easier, you will miss out on all the things you could have done not because they became easier but because you just got better. In this week's episode, I discuss how this pops up in our health journey, our businesses, and our relationships. Give it a listen! And let me know how one thing you that's uncomfortable but you just got better at dealing with!

Putting the finishing touches on my 2023 goals and I want to share 3 things that I think of when setting a goal and actually reaching it.... First is can I visualize the end?  Next is what are the habits necessary to get me there and am I willing to do those habits? Finally, what do I need to put in place so that I can be consistent with the habits? Simple but not exactly the easiest thing to work through.  Good news is I made a whole episode on how you can do the same.  I take you through each piece and what you need to do.  Before the end of the year, take 30 minutes, listen to the steps and then spend some time putting them into action!   

In my book, being more efficient and effective with your time is a key component of happiness. Why? Because feeling behind and overwhelmed by all the things you need and want to do is stressful as hell.  So if you work on organizing your time and how you utilize it, you will find yourself less stressed and therefore happier.  In this episode, I discuss 3 ways to be more efficient so that you can focus on being a happier you!

I think the phrase, “How you do one thing is how you do everything” is BS! I said what I said.  In this episode, I go through why…give it a listen.  And what are your initial thoughts about this phrase?? Do you believe it or also think it’s bs?

What if you didn’t have to let the holiday absolutely crush you? How would it feel to enjoy what was designed to be a joyous time AND not derail the F out of your goals? Even if you’ve never felt that way, it doesn’t mean it’s not possible for you.  You gotta start with why you were doing the habits you were doing in the first place (more focus, less anxious, feel better, etc) and then ask yourself “Why would I STOP them during arguably the most stressful time of year??” So let’s talk about how to do it. Like everything else, it can change if you want it to.  And let me know ONE habit you will absolutely keep up during the holidays! Ready to rock your 2023?

What you do on a day-to-day basis determines the results and outcomes you are getting right now.  That may seem obvious when you read it but how many of us have wants, dreams, and goals and are frustrated that we aren’t moving toward them? It’s because the habits you have right now may not match up with the habits required to get there.  In this episode, I break down how to figure out those habits AND actually start living them…not just thinking about them.  If you are sick of not reaching your goals, give this episode a listen!

Stepping out of your comfort zone is actually HARDER the second time you go to do it…. Everyone says it's the first time but I disagree.  The first time is challenging for sure but you are super motivated, you are either moving away from a great pain or towards pleasure, you want to leave where you are at SO bad and will push through to get there.  The second time though? You now have made that uncomfortable place you worked SO hard to get to your new norm…and guess what? You don’t want to leave it…EVEN for something more.  During this episode, I go through even more reasons why they are different and how to handle each one so that you can continue to step out of your comfort zones and go for what you want!  What’s one thing you learned when you stepped out of your comfort zone??

Do you complicate the sh&% out of things? You want to start eating better and exercising… But first you have to research and find the BEST diet and the most effective exercise program.  Then you have to figure out your nutrition timing, exactly how much protein to eat after your workout and read that article on how much fruit is too much fruit.  Next, you have to check your schedule and find time to meal prep, exercise for an hour daily and get the perfect water bottle.  When you FINALLY get ALL of that done, then and only then will you be ready to start.  I know I am exaggerating but am I really??? We have a belief that being healthy is HARD so we make it hard.  It doesn’t have to be.  Sure there are challenges but find me something that never has challenges. In this episode, we discuss how you may be making things complicated AF and how to simplify so you can get out of your head and start getting results.  p.s.

A few weeks ago, I heard the parable of the pear tree for the first time.  And it stuck with me…I kept reading it over and over and getting different lessons from it. So much so that I made a whole podcast episode on it!...lol If you've heard it before, I would love to hear what’s your biggest takeaway from it.  If you haven't, give the episode a listen and share!  To get access to a PDF version of the parable, click here!

“The story is not over until you put down the pen” This was a quote from one of the amazing speakers at the doTERRA convention I attended a few weeks ago.  Ohhh it just hit me in the feels! So I made a podcast episode about it.  If you are feeling lost, hopeless, frustrated, ALL the things…give it a listen!

What’s the difference between being hungry and having a craving? I think the difference is pretty simple…. Hunger is when you want any food…A craving is when you want a specific food or type of food.  That part is simple…the challenging part is thinking about that in the moment, learning to listen to what your body truly wants and needs, and THEN following through on it.  In this episode, I go through the differences, how to spot them and how to check in with yourself to figure out which path to take!

Do you get bloodwork done regularly? I recently had some done to check up on things and it confirmed what I suspected.  Here’s the thing though…it’s all about WHAT tests and the ranges on the tests.  I am obviously NOT a doctor but I have discovered a TON of things that were going on with my body that were missed by standard practices by doing certain tests.  In this episode, I share what I found out, how it’s helping me and why you would consider doing the same!

Once you find the perfect system, your life will be so much easier.  You just have to keep searching for it and then everything will fall into place.  What if I told you one does not exist and it’s not the system you are picking or the mysterious one you haven’t found yet but your commitment to one? In this episode, I discuss how to pick a system and actually commit to it so it works!  Can you relate? Let me know in the comments!

Do you stick to your healthy habits when you are on vaca? I didn’t.  I would forget everything I put in place because I was “on vacation!” Then I would come back and feel like I was starting all over again.  It actually felt like I would take steps backwards.  Then I started doing things for my health that were non negatable…and found it was necessary to do them no matter where the hell I was. And my mindset around vacations shifted.  My mindset about my habit shifted.  And it has helped my health and longevity tremendously.  In this episode, I go through how I made that shift and how you can too!

If you just learn that ONE thing, listen to that ONE book, take that ONE course, then BOOM you would be at the next level. I know I’ve told myself that a million times..yet that’s a bunch of bs.  It’s not about what you have yet to learn, it’s about what you have yet to implement.  In this episode, I discuss my own struggles with this and what to do about it!
