161. Why we don't make New Year's Resolutions & What We Do Instead!!
New Year, New Me! Right??
If you are like us, then like clockwork, the new year comes around and suddenly you feel this intense pressure to CHANGE EVERYTHING!!!
Is it wrong to have resolutions? Are we setting ourselves up for failure?
In this podcast episode Edie and her daughter Emme discuss the importance of perseverance and continuous effort in achieving resolutions. Edie shares her approach of setting 90-day goals instead of year-long resolutions, and Emme shares her struggles in sticking with goals.
They also talk about the pressure and comparison in goal-setting, especially in the era of social media. The hosts encourage reframing failure as a stepping stone towards success and practicing self-compassion. They emphasize the idea of enjoying the journey rather than fixating on the end result.

Create Your VISION For 2024!
Made for More 2024 starts TOMORROW! Will you be joining us?
Here’s something most people don’t realize, mama: your past and present DON’T determine your future.
Read that once more and let it REALLY sink in!! It doesn’t matter where you’ve been or where you are now in your life – if you’ve never been able to stick to a single goal or if you’ve never felt confident in yourself or if you’ve always hid in the shadows – NONE of that matters, dear one!!
You might be wondering, “Well, if your past or present doesn’t determine your future, then what does?” The answer? >> YOUR THOUGHTS. <<
What you allow to linger in your mind and what you choose to believe about your future is what determines your future.
You’ve heard me quote the Bible many times: “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”
What you think and what you believe about your future is what it will be!
So, what are YOU choosing to think about your future, mama? If anything is possible, then why not choose to believe that your future is BRIGHT?
Tell yourself every single day that what you want is possible for you.
Tell yourself that you WILL get there.
Tell yourself that God has a GRAND adventure planned for you.
And don’t forget to register for MADE FOR MORE 2024 – a 3-day LIVE virtual workshop that’s going to change the trajectory for the upcoming year!

157. When You Need a Break
Tom and started out fall break with a bang. And by bang, I mean a 3 mile cold, rainy trail ride with two horses named Iowa and Louisiana in the Smoky Mountains. It felt right and epic and by the time we finished, I was soaked to the core and shivering. Not exactly what the doctor ordered for me, given my complicated sinus infection that won't seem to totally go away. But we mamas do what we need to do. I got surfer's sinusitis this summer from wake surfing.😳 Yes, it's a thing. I'm not totally mad about it, but I do plan on buying nose and ear plugs for next summer. I'm learning a lot about what it means to slow down a little. To prioritize health (cancelled about 4 trips since riding on an airplane doesn't sound too fun right now) and to do things ON PURPOSE that fill my cup, bring me joy, and use my gifts in the best way. That looks like lots of visits with the grand babies, lots of rock hikes with Tom, creating content that serves my clients, knitting, and making good food that screams fall. Most of the time what we need a "break" from is not the physical activities of our lives, but the incessant noise in our heads. The constant doubting and questioning of ourselves, the low level anxiety about everything, the lies we believe about who we are and what we were created to do, the secret resentments, the comparison to others, and a whole host of negative thinking that won't seem to leave us alone. We were not meant to carry all that in our hearts and minds. And those things aren't cured by fall break or a trip to the spa or a vacation to the Caribbean. Those things are cured when we learn to renew our minds to the high calling and purpose we've been given so that the rest of the mess has less space to take up in our brains. When we learn how to make our mental and emotional health a priority, we can enjoy the truest freedom, no matter what life brings our way. It's work worth doing. And with the right mindset, it can be fun. Here's to making memories and adventures and using our mind and heart space to focus on the life we want, not the worry and anxiety we don't. Decide to find every reason to be joyful and loving to them today. DECIDE to be delighted by the simplest things they say and do. Your mind is powerful. Use it with intention to create the most amazing day and then watch how all that goodness spills over into the people you love. Everything you could ever ask for is right in front of you. Will you train your mind to notice? The issues above and more are what we're tackling in the last 75 days of the year in LIFE MENTORING SCHOOL. If you're ready to live from your highest self and ditch the negative patterns you've been stuck in, give yourself the gift of TRUE REST and TRUE GROWTH.

154. The Life Changing Magic of 90 Days: Plan With Me!
Everyone I know says they want to change their life. So few people I know actually do. The reason? They find change to be way harder than they anticipated and it's so easy to give up on yourself. You've probably been there too many times to count. You know something needs to change and you've really tried. But as soon as you get on track, life throws a curve ball at you. It feels like giving up on your goal is inevitable. Something HAS TO GIVE. I know, I've been there and I know the frustration. I also know the toll it took on me physically and on my emotional and mental health. I created my program just for YOU. FOR US.
