Earn Your Happy

One of the biggest shifts that we’ve gone through in our businesses is learning how to collapse time by collaborating with experts instead of trying to muscle through everything on our own. Chris and I discuss ways that we’ve been able to grow faster and more sustainably by getting in the right rooms, building out diverse networks, and outsourcing tasks that aren’t in our zones of genius. We describe the ripple effect that this approach has had on our lives and the business outcomes that we’ve experienced because of it. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Learning how to take action and pivot instead of freeze  Taking responsibility when you choose to struggle instead of reaching out for support  The domino effect of collapsing time  What I wish I could go back and tell myself when I was trying to put on an event by myself  Examples across industries of how you can reach your goals more efficiently  RESOURCES We're enrolling for the 2023 Elite Mastermind right now!

One of the most common questions that I get in my DMs is how to get out of a rut when you’re feeling uninspired and burned out. My biggest piece of advice around that is to be intentional about seeking out inspiration and don’t be afraid to try out a different lane. I always tune into music, watch a great comedian, or move my body in a way that gets me out of my same old routine. I soak in inspiration from other areas of my life and then apply that to my business, my talks, this show一really everything in my life! IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What to do when you’re feeling overwhelmed by personal development content  The importance of branching out into different genres in order to find inspiration Letting yourself play and experience new things  The power of witnessing other people sharing their inspiration  RESOURCES Thanks to Soul CBD for sponsoring the show!

There has been so much resistance in my life lately. I can’t lie, it can feel pretty uncomfortable sometimes. But, Chris and I have made a commitment to consistently step into resistance because we know that we’ll be rewarded for it in the long run. It can be so tempting to choose the easier, more comfortable option, but once you start training yourself to push through the resistance, all of the things that you really want are waiting for you on the other side. We discuss how this has shown up in our lives in the past and set a plan for how we’re going to work through the resistance we’re feeling right now. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How we’ve always gotten something of great value from pushing through resistance  Understanding where your feelings of fear and discomfort are really coming from  Staying on track with our food and exercise choices  The positive ripple effect of making decisions based on your future self  RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

When you look into the future, you're just inviting in anxiety over something that probably isn't going to happen or isn’t going to feel the way that you think it's going to feel. Instead, you could be living in the present and savoring the moment. I know, so much easier said than done, but this idea has really resonated for Chris and I this past month with all of the events and traveling that’s been going on. We’re chatting about how we deal with the overwhelm that we feel when we see a jam-packed schedule ahead of us and tips to stay focused and feeling your best when you’re out of your normal routine. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Staying focused on what’s within your control and letting go of everything that isn't  What to do when you’re overwhelmed with your workload, especially when you’re on the road  Easy habits to implement so you can stay as healthy as possible when traveling  Getting to the root of what you’re really afraid of一it might surprise you!  RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

All my high-achieving single ladies out there, this one is for you! I’m joined by Cara Alwill, bestselling author and host of the top-rated podcast, Style Your Mind, to discuss why so many successful women have trouble dating. Cara sheds light on what’s happening in the dating scene and how women can approach it differently to have fun with it again. We dig deep into why you need to deprogram all the unsolicited advice out there and start to follow your intuition instead. I also share my perspective about expanding and overcoming challenges in relationships as someone who has been married for almost 20 years. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why ‘he’s just not that into you’ isn’t always the full answer (and sometimes not the answer at all) What it looks like to take a more feminine approach to dating, especially as a successful woman  The different psychological patterns behind how men and women think about building relationships  A small mindset shift that makes dating a completely different experience  How to start calling in the person or relationship that you want Getting really clear on your non-negotiables and nice-to-have qualities  RESOURCES Thanks to Indeed for supporting Earn Your Happy.
