As I mentioned last week, I am doing a two-part gratitude series and this episode is part two. So if you missed last week’s show, I encourage you to go back and listen after you finish today’s podcast, because last week we looked at gratitude through a potentially unusual lens.  We talked all about the process of practicing gratitude ahead of time and how doing so can help you uncover the motivation to keep moving toward your big goals. This week we are shifting gears a little bit. While we’re still focusing on gratitude, we are coming from a few different angles. We explore the importance of practicing gratitude for what you have now. We discuss practicing gratitude for others. And we discuss practicing gratitude for yourself and how this simple shift can completely transform your life. Of course, just like all of my podcast episodes, we also talk about strategy, so you can learn how to start incorporating this gratitude practice in your life on a daily basis. Sound good? Awesome. Then listen below, improve your gratitude game, and start up-leveling your life today!

Hey, friends! I hope you’re excited because we are about to get real this week. Yep. In today’s podcast, we are talking about all things priorities.  And more specifically, we are going to learn how to break through overwhelm, get our priorities straight, and start taking action. Truth be told, this podcast was inspired by my own need for a refresher on the topic. In short, I was having a hard time keeping my biggest priorities front and center. With the school year officially started, I found my schedule much fuller than it has been over the summer (big surprise…) and I was telling myself that there is “too much to do.” And what’s more, I was constantly looping the unhelpful thought that “there is simply not enough time in the day.” Have you ever felt that way? Do you ever feel like there’s too much to do and not enough time to do it? HOW TO SET YOUR PRIORITIES AND GET THINGS DONE If so, first of all, know that you’re not alone.  And second of all, I challenge you to try on this incredibly powerful thought… There is always enough time for what’s most important to you. Really, it’s true. There is always enough time for your top priorities. Of course, the real secret is learning how to identify which priorities should be your top priorities, right? And that is exactly what we explore in today’s podcast. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER… How you can get your priorities straight. How to focus on what’s most important in your daily life.

In this week's podcast, we are talking about all things habits. Now, this episode was inspired by a quick challenge that I shared a few weeks ago on my Instagram stories. I challenged everyone to establish one tiny habit that they could do in 5 minutes or less. What's more, they had to commit to that habit every day for 7 days. Now it’s true, the act itself might seem small. Nevertheless, the sheer practice of repetition, as well as your commitment to yourself, has an incredibly powerful impact on helping you reach your goals and strengthen your willpower. So with that in mind, I thought we would use today’s podcast to dive further into all things habits. Sound good? Great! IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER… Why it's helpful to establish good habits. How small habits help you build momentum toward your bigger goals. Different components that make a healthy habit. Habit-forming strategies that you can implement today.   LINKS FROM THE PODCAST Get your ENTIRE YEAR of habit trackers here! Check out audible here!

  In today's podcast, we are diving into the important topic of decision making, which is something you incredible listeners ask me about quite often. You see, we all face the challenge of constant decision making. In fact, we make about 35,000 remotely conscious decisions each day, with over 225 decisions being about food alone. Seriously – that’s a lot of decisions. And I don’t know about you, but with all of those decisions adding up throughout the day, the very real factor of decision fatigue starts sinking in. Seriously, just consider all of the decisions you've made before beginning your workday today. The number is staggering. So what can we do about this? How can we start making decisions easier and avoid decision fatigue? Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today. In this episode, you will learn... Why it’s important to make decisions. The challenge of having too many options. Why so many of us struggle to make decisions. How to make decisions with confidence.

Alright, lady. It’s time for some real talk. Be honest - do you make self-care a regular part of your routine? Or, is self-care something you strive to include in your life, but you can’t seem to find the time? Perhaps making time for self-care feels too “selfish” or “self-indulgent” when you have a family, job, friends, and other responsibilities on your plate. Am I close? Here's Why You Need Self-Care Every Day While we might practice self-care every once in a while, I think many of us either don’t have the time, feel guilty about “indulging ourselves,” or both. We pack our schedules with work, meetings, volunteering, and after-school activities. And if we miraculously find a moment of “downtime,” we feel guilty for spending it on ourselves. And while this is an all-too-familiar situation for many of us, that does not make it okay. In fact, it’s a problem.  So in today’s podcast, I’m here to help us take a step in the right direction and start incorporating self-care in our lives every day.  Yes, you read that right. Daily self-care. Tune in now and learn how! In this episode, you will discover… The importance of daily self-care My strategy for practicing self-care every day My approach to daily self-care How you can incorporate self-care in your routine every day This week’s quote of the week all about self-care Links from the Podcast Grab your free self-care workbook here!
