As we head into June, we discuss the milestones that this month brings.
Not only is it my birthday month, but it is also the one year celebration of this podcast!

I am SO grateful for all of the powerhouse women that I have interviewed thus far and am SO excited for what is to come.

To me, the best way to celebrate another year around the sun, involves the days leading up to it. 

On the episode, I discuss why self-discipline is the greatest act of self-love and respect.

We all have heard the saying, "like me, like me not".. AKA its not your business to care what other people think of you.

This practice is giving AWAY your power.

It's time to take your power back and BLOCK any self-damaging cycles.

On the episode, I talk about HOW caring about what other people think of you is keeping you stuck, understanding WHY we are all guilty of this, and WHAT we can do to detach from this limiting pattern.

On today's episode, we are kicking off season 4 with a conversation on the idea of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.

On the episode:
-we define comfort zone
-how to step outside it
-what it means to bet on yourself
-welcome adversity with an open mind
-framing your brain around growth
-the advantages of stepping into the unknown

Don't forget to review this episode, subscribe, and share this with a friend.

I can't believe the final episode of season 3 is here! On the episode, I reflect on the season before pivoting into today's topic. The message today is focused on staying in your power when in a new environment. It's tough and new people or maybe the perceptions of what YOU think these new people are thinking will try to knock you out of your power. It's normal, but what's not normal is you allowing this to get to you and knock you from reaching your potential.

This episode is ALL about the ideology that you get what you focus on.

Ask yourself: Are you focused on your gap or your gain?
 
There is SO much power in how you think.. so a POSITIVE mindset built on the foundation of self-belief is EVERYTHING .
 
If you focus on the negative, you get negative.
If you focus on the positive , you get positive.

The grass is greener where you water it.. so if you are so focused and fixated on your gap (aka your lack).. your gap gets BIGGER.

Don't fall for it.

It's 2023 and we are kicking it into full gear this new year.  But before you rush into your new year's goals, I've got a fresh perspective for you.. are New Year resolutions a fad?

Don't get caught up into the hype of the new year.

Stay constant to stay consistent.
