About Progress

This monthly series features an episode sharing my recent highs and lows, how my habits are going, a Do Something List update, plus what I'm loving lately and my commitments for the upcoming month. I hope this glimpse into my life, my family, my work, and my own self development encourages you in your own journey.Around here the goal is never perfection, just to keep trying, even if in very simple ways. I think you'll see that with all of the big changes going on for me, taking the smallest of steps has helped to keep me afloat and feeling like myself. As always, I encourage you to get messy, too!

The DSL has changed so many lives—literally—and it started, quite unexpectedly with my own. You’ve likely heard me talk about the Do Something List many times over the years and have wondered if it’s right for you. If you can’t make goals this year, want to supplement whatever goals you were able to make, or you simply need some momentum to figure out who you are, then this is what the DSL is for. Today’s episode is a condensed replay of the live version I taught mid-January, but here for you so that you can create your own DSL for 2024. Don’t know what a DSL is? This workshop will teach you what a DSL IS, what it IS NOT, WHY IT MATTERS, and help you CREATE YOUR OWN.Listen in then make your own. We can’t wait to see how your DSL helps you make progress this year.For the free guide referenced, and/or to see the full non-condensed workshop, access it all via our DSL training HERE.

Years I hosted a "Get Up Early Challenge" on Instagram, and it went really well for so many of us...until it didn't. The problem was that the habit didn't stick, it was too much too soon. But, I did learn something really important, and that was that by getting up earlier and investing in myself, I had more to happily to give to my family and my responsibilities.Shortly after this challenge I was introduced to The Miracle Morning, by Hal Elrod, and it gave me the motivation AND information that I needed to develop a morning routine that worked for me. In our conversation he's giving a behind-the-scenes look at what led him to discovering the miracle morning, we’ll talk about the importance of having a morning routine that’s less about productivity and more about producing YOU, and–more importantly–the doable ways you can design and build up your own miracle morning.

Each month on More Personal I'll take on a deep-but-brief breakdown of a hot personal development topic, history, or persona. While this episode isn’t meant to be a complete synopsis, it will definitely get you thinking and, likely, talking. Today's topic is how positive thinking swept the earth with its motivational methods, but along the way got twisted into shame-driven toxicity. Either way, the world will never be the same.

Last year I felt like I had abandoned my goals and day planning by February. As I reviewed them again recently, surprisingly a lot of what I had envisioned still materialized. Clearly defined visions give direction, making it easier to break down the necessary steps and create a meaningful impact on both conscious and subconscious levels. In this episode I'll explain what that looks like in goal planning, and give you a unique twist on setting a word for the year that aligns with the feelings you value the most.

The most common New Year’s habit people want to work on is exercise, and for so many good reasons. Yes, there can definitely be some external 'shoulds' on that list, but exercise also helps us with our bodies, our minds, our mood, and our spirit. Alycia is a busy mom of four, so we work on finding a realistic starting point, then discuss a manageable goal with a plan for small steps to get there and gradually increase. If this is a goal of yours, but you're struggling to implement supportive habits, this coaching call can help you.

Sometimes a creative acronym is the most helpful way to embrace a new, or hard-to-love, concept. Today that concept of G.O.A.L.S. is being taught by Misty Marsh, a mom of 4 big-hearted kids and a professional coach for women creating online courses. She understands how difficult it can be to balance motherhood and business and loves making it possible for women to provide for their families while working for a reasonable number of hours from home. If you need a new approach to goal-setting this year, enjoy her brilliant, and practical, breakdown of the word 'goal.'Misty Marsh on YouTube Access exclusive supporter benefits Sign up for the next Sticky Habit Intensive Full Show Notes Try Sideshow now!
