Today we talk about “Hustle” vs. “Slow.” I have a hard time with the word “Hustle” It’s a label we seem to strive for—especially in the entrepreneur world. It’s not a bad word! But it’s a word or a way of life we put on a pedestal—then we deal with massive guilt if we find ourselves in a moment lacking hustle. Is it okay to slow down? What are the benefits of slowing down? Am I failing “the” hustle if I’m not hustling to the world’s expectations? Listen to find out. Like what you hear? Be sure your rate this show on your favorite podcast app! LOVE what you hear?

This episode is inspired by watching “Botched Up Bodies” and “Surviving R. Kelly” and what weighs heavy on my heart as a result. We too often make bad choices. I’m talking about just doing really dumb—or blatantly wrong—with a justification or rationalization that we feel makes it right....despite the horrible or hurtful outcomes. I’m also talking abut looking the other way when we shouldn’t. Or not speaking up when it’s the right thing to do. Or going with what’s popular when we know it’s wrong. Or focusing on an imperfection that isn’t where our focus should be—then making a series of bad decisions to fix something that doesn’t need to be fixed. We risk so much when we make bad choices. Find out why I think shows like “Botched Up Bodies” and “Surviving R. Kelly” are situations born from our tendency to make bad choices. Like what you hear?

This episode is strategically placed AFTER Valentine’s Day. It’s a day when you either feel exceptionally loved—or tragically UN-loved. Did you know? “Feeling” unloved doesn’t mean you “are” unloved. Today we’ll talk about the recipe of behavior that can lead to us feeling unloved—and how we can change the recipe for a better outcome. This episode isn’t just for anyone who felt unloved on Valentine’s Day. It’s for anyone who struggles with feeling like no one loves you on a regular, non-made-up holiday day. Like what you hear?

Today’s episode is inspired again in part by ShineText.com and of course, my own thoughts and feelings. Are you ever afraid to say what you think and feel? Today we talk about how you deserve to be heard. But so often, we let our fear of how others will interpret what we say keep us from saying anything at all. Speak up! You are worthy.

Overwhelmed? Overcommitted? Over-stressed? Over...EVERYTHING!?! Today’s episode is for you. When we have too much on our plate, we sometimes don’t get anything done. It creates anxiety. When we don’t get anything done, we feel like we let ourselves and others down. Teri shares how overwhelmed she is TODAY. Sometimes it’s short-term circumstances. Other times, it’s a lifestyle we choose for ourselves. Teri talks about doing at least a little if we can’t do it ALL...and why that’s okay. #committonotovercommit Like what you hear?

Teri leaves us with some recommendations of how to reframe our body insecurities into a healthier mindset. Yes, eat pizza if it brings you joy.

I hate New Years resolutions. But that’s not the same as living life without purpose or goals and plans. In this episode, I’ll talk about why I think New Years resolutions are dumb. I’ll also talk about a different approach to making and keeping goals (this coming from a TERRIBLE goal-maker). And we’ll look at why giving ourselves grace while making and pursuing goals is vital.

Today we talk about our feelings. No really. Do you feel your feelings? Do you feel bad about how you feel? Do you struggle feeling like it’s okay to ask for help when you’re struggling? I’m a life-long guilt-sufferer. I even feel bad about how I feel sometimes. Let’s talk about what that means and how we can feel our feels instead of faking “better” feelings or staying stuck when we’re low. Shout out again to Daily Shine and Sheila Walsh’s words for helping me gather my thoughts on this one! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ihavethingstosay/support
