Earn Your Happy

I just got back from the Powerhouse Women event and it was amazing. I had so many moments where I had tears in my eyes watching others rise and be the person that they came here to be. It was fun and it was inspiring. One speaker stood out to me with something she said, so I came home and immediately shared it with Chris and it is what we are talking about in today’s episode. Jasmine Star blew my mind when she said “Overwhelm is the abundance of everything you ever wished and prayed for coming in all at once”.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The different kinds of overwhelm How to become a different person as you adjust to having more things come to fruition How to practice gratitude in times of overwhelm How to frame your next hour, day, week or month when overwhelm hits   RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

Chris and I are currently reading Sustain Your Game: High Performance Keys to Manage Stress, Avoid Stagnation, and Beat Burnout by Alan Stein. In this week’s He Said She Said, Chris and I share our takeaways from this book and share with you our feelings on stress and how to manage it to create a winner’s mindset. With every decision to let things bother us and weigh us down, we are robbing our future selves of where we're supposed to go because we're robbing the present moment where things can actually happen. The present is where all creativity, ideas and forward momentum come from.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Defining stress and how to prevent it from manifesting into pain and resistance How to get success in your life, and how to stay there once you get it Our best practices and how we shift gears in moments of stress   RESOURCES Sustain Your Game: High Performance Keys to Manage Stress, Avoid Stagnation, and Beat Burnout by Alan Stein Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

For years Chris and I were yes people, and for years we have watched others “yes” themselves to death. Now, we practice not just saying no to things that do not serve our greater vision and purpose but going beyond that and letting it be okay if we disappoint people by saying no. We have consistently learned from others who have beautiful boundaries to protect and who have thrived by doing so. When you say yes to everything, you water down your message. When you constantly say yes, you take yourself away from your primary vision and the message you want out in the world.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why you shouldn't say yes to every opportunity and should only say yes to what serves your agenda. We discuss the side effects of “yessing” yourself to death If you don’t get an immediate answer to a request, it doesn't mean to stop asking. We discuss how to not take it personally How and why it is harder for women to turn down opportunities and how women can overcome the fear of saying no How people react to your no is usually telling of how they will behave and show up for you down the line Why protecting boundaries and respecting others is so important   RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Danielle Robay, a TV host and journalist who is currently the host of E!’s While You Were Streaming. She is the creator of the video podcast PRETTYSMART, and the best-selling card game QUESTION EVERYTHING: 52 Cards For Deep(er) Conversation, noted by Forbes as a “game changer”.    Danielle is a big believer in being a self generator and we talk in-depth about putting yourself out there and going for what you want, instead of waiting for someone to bring it to you. We also discuss how there is no failure in entrepreneurship, it's just a pivot that pushes you into the next thing.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Feeling uncertainty and financial instability while working towards your dream, and the pressure felt to create a different life Having more value to offer when you go ahead and do something yourself rather than waiting for someone else to offer it to you Tools for asking yourself what is the worst-case scenario that could happen, in times of stress or anxiety, and realizing it's never going to be that bad Tips on the fastest way to make yourself feel better on a bad day by making someone else feel better about themselves   RESOURCES Thanks to Gusto for sponsoring the show!
