Today I’m joined by the one and only, Sebastian Terry. Dive in and enjoy this incredible episode!   "I asked myself, ‘If I were to die today, could I say that I wouldn’t have changed anything?’, and just like that, I realized I was really unhappy. I didn’t have any purpose, goals, or know who I was. This was my a-ha moment. What could be more important than feeling happy?" In today’s episode, we talk about: Living a life that actually makes you happy How to do meaningful goal setting Understanding the core aspects of your life Living a fulfilling life without regrets Seb is a best-selling author, top keynote speaker, and Founder of 100things. Having ticked off 76 of his own 100things, Seb has spent the last decade sharing his stories and learnings with others in order to help them enact change in their lives. From impromptu experiences like delivering a stranger’s baby in a different country than his own, to fulfilling a random wish that takes him to a remote village- Seb is up for the challenge.    After graduating from University with a degree he was unsure of, Seb set off to backpack the world. A few years into his travels he received a call in the middle of the night; one of his childhood friends, Chris, had tragically passed away. This was the moment Seb realized how unhappy he was and that everything needed to change.   Grabbing a pen and paper, he began to write the list of things that he hoped would propel him toward a sense of happiness and purpose in life. This list took the shape of 100 things and it would go on to change his life forever.    Now 15 years on, Seb has ticked off 76 goals from his list but his personal journey has grown into a global movement. Now based in LA, California, Seb dedicates his time to helping individuals and organizations transform by harnessing passion as a driving force for change, connection, and transformation.   This is such a powerful episode and I know you’ll love it as much as I did.

Hey loves! Today I’m joined by Allyson Byrd. Enjoy this amazing episode!   "We were talking about what really matters to us and I said, ‘I’m ready to be beyond the abandonment, shame, and rejection’. And someone sitting back there replied, ‘So then, what story are you willing to tell yourself about it?’" In today’s episode, we talk about: How to move through abandonment How to make peace through the hardest times of your life  How to author a new story Understanding how to give to yourself when you are overextending from a wounded place  How to make peace with rejection, shame, and abandonment  What overextension looks like when serving others to avoid your own self-love  Reclaim and remember who you are at your core So many coaches show up to teach all the pitfalls to avoid in hopes of you curating maybe 10% more success in your life. That is until they tell you that barely the top 1% of people make it into the sacred rings of achievement. It’s called motivational speaking but it sounds tragic AF, right?    Well, after screwing up her life for over 20 years with multiple careers, failed business ideas, sad singleness, unhappy family, broken relationships, no money, living in a tiny apartment, and weighing in at 345lbs, Allyson discovered motivational speaking and how unmotivated she was when she heard it.    She then read the Gandhi quote, “Be the change you wish to see in this world.”, and she decided to change the game.    When Allyson speaks, she answers the question, “WHAT IF IT ALL GOES RIGHT?”.    Through her own story, she shares how she made life way harder than it ever had to be.    For decades she trash-talked and shamed herself, letting perfectionism, anxiety, people-pleasing, and other self-sabotaging habits take over until she hardly recognized herself. She says that if you saw her during those times, you’d say she was positive and cheerful, but inside she was relentlessly beating herself up and frustrated that life never went her way.   Can you relate?    The hard core truth is that inner peace is a lot of f*cking work but so is living in shame, overwhelm, lack, scarcity, or fear. We all get to choose our “hard” and Allyson is the master of teaching you how to do it with ease.    Reinventing your life — getting what you really want in business, at home, and in your relationships may seem hard.   It’s not. You can do it. You just need to know how.

Hey loves! Today’s episode is being brought to you directly by yours truly!   "There’s resentment when we aren’t aligned with our truth – we feel suffocated or suppressed when we can’t speak our truth. This is your opportunity to clear that. Where in your life has resentment held you back? Where are you going today with that? What is it that you need to reconcile with yourself?"   In today’s episode, I talk about: Speaking your truth even when it’s scary Having your courageous conversations through the ‘service’ and ‘love’ filters Why your setbacks aren’t your fault but are your responsibility How to move past resentment so that you can finally heal Welcome to The Brave Table! I’ve gotta be honest with you love, I just needed a break and reset after 8 months of go go go! I needed space to just breathe, so I took my little ones to Clearwater beach for a few days of crashing waves and sand in the toes. But this came after having difficult conversations in both business and personal life – you know, the scary conversations that are hard to start. So let’s crack that open and talk about how to have your courageous conversations.   Plus, I dive into resentment and why it’s the anchor that grounds us when something goes wrong, but is also the false reassurance that keeps us held back – in the same position at work that you hate, the same toxic relationship  5 years later, etc. This is the rubble in your road that needs to be cleared.   This is a short but powerful episode jam-packed with nuggets that will heal and inspire you.
