Grace & Grit Podcast

Life is full of stressors and, while it may not be possible to live completely stress-free, it is absolutely possible to live with a lot less stress than you are carrying right now. How? By ruthlessly editing the stories you tell yourself, about yourself and your life. In other words, by ditching the drama. In this episode, I teach you a 4-step formula for doing just that, so you can minimize your stress and show up more confidently to do the work that needs to be done to keep moving your life forward.

Personal power is our capacity to feel fully alive and yet… so many of the things we do to try and restore power in our lives are coming from a place of manipulating, forcing, and being incredibly aggressive with ourselves. I call this false power. It doesn’t heal you, it hurts you, and ultimately robs you of the opportunity to live full out. Maybe false power shows up for you as… Berating yourself for making mistakes. Dismissing your emotions so you don’t hear the messages they have for you. Denying yourself the opportunity to feel fully alive until you “prove” yourself. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I help listeners explore what false power actually looks like and why using it is such a detriment to our health and well-being. If this message lands for you, please consider sharing with a woman who you think might benefit from the message because with more women living their life from a place of true power, the brighter the world will be.

Many people struggle to implement boundaries with themselves and with others. And one of the reasons they struggle is because of what they are making boundaries mean. Boundaries will make people think I don’t care. Boundaries rob me of my freedom. I shouldn’t have to set boundaries. … just to name a few. The truth is, boundaries are what actually afford us deep relationships and freedom in our life. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast I help you to explore: Why you may be “boundary-adverse”. Why having someone else set boundaries FOR you, doesn’t usually end well. Step to consider when implementing boundaries so you will actually honor them. If this episode lands for you, please consider sharing it with other women who might benefit from the message. You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-312/ **** Ready to Rumble & Rise?

It is never too late to improve your health & well-being, and Joan MacDonald (who might better know as @trainwithjoan) is an awesome example of that. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I have the awesome privilege of sitting down with both Joan and her daughter Michelle to talk about the journey to improved health and the things that are so often overlooked along the path to making meaningful change. Things like… Developing compelling reasons to stay the course. Learning how to enjoy the process. Letting go of beliefs that no longer serve you and developing new ones. Relying on discipline when motivation wanes. Celebrating wins. Finding a community to support you. And so much more! This dynamic duo has just released their first book called, Flex Your Age: Defy Stereotypes and Reclaim Empowerment, and after you listen to this interview, you are definitely going to want to add it to your shopping list:) Enjoy! And please share with the women in your life who you think could benefit from hearing the message too.

To go after the things you really want for your life, you have to open yourself up to experiencing big emotions without reacting to them. I have done a lot of podcast episodes about the value of leaning into the emotions that don’t feel so good (like discomfort and disappointment), but in this episode, I want to talk about expanding your capacity to experience the feel-good ones – like power, joy, and confidence. This is such an important episode because so often I witnessed women shy away from their own strength and power when they are making progress towards the things they want to create for their life. I have done it myself MANY times. Have a listen and share with a woman who might need to hear the message:) You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-310/ **** Looking for more support?

​Power is the root of a lot of the topics I dive into on the Grace & Grit podcast and in my paid programs. I have called it a lot of things – integrity, self-leadership, personal responsibility – but at the end of the day, we are really talking about power. What it really takes to step into your power to live an authentic and fully expressed life. In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, I invite you to consider what power is and how you can improve your relationship with it, and your capacity for it in 2023.

I have been thinking a lot lately about fatigue vs burnout. They are both very real challenges this time of year for a lot of people. However, they are NOT the same thing and they require different levels of self-care. If you are physically tired, sleep and rest ARE the solutions. If you are mentally burnout or feeling emotionally “flat” and/or uninspired – it could be that sleep and rest are “part” of the solution but you might need something MORE than that. In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, we explore what the “more” might look like:) You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-306/ **** Looking for more support?

You may have the best of intentions to travel through the holiday season with intention, grace, and ease this year AND you may also find yourself sliding down the slippery slope of negotiating your way out of your good intentions if you aren’t careful. A lot of people call this self-sabotage. Moreover, the personal development space uses this label a lot. Which, personally, I think is a mistake and hugely problematic because it implies that you are intentionally hurting yourself. You’re not. In this episode, I help you explore a few possibilities of what’s actually going on. You can listen here: https://graceandgrit.com/podcast-305/ **** Looking for more support?
