December 08, 2020 15:00 - 14 minutes - 4.23 MB

WHEN YOU SUCK AT MAKING SPACE FOR LIFE...sometimes you've gotta SCHEDULE it! I don't know about you, but in my former life, there were certain things that I never seemed to have time for. That workout. That phone call home or to my best friend to "catch-up". That hobby that I used to love but that's been collecting dust for ages... Because you and I? We've always been so much more than the thing that earns us a paycheck each day. And yet, our schedules don't reflect that. How we spend our ...

For the first time in 2020, I’m interviewing on the Take Back Your Damn Life podcast and I’m grateful to be interviewing a new friend (and neighbor), Ashley Looker!

Today she tells her story and shares her experiences of how slowing down and making joy a priority can be absol...

117 - 3 Tips to Help You Work LESS & LIVE More

October 13, 2020 14:00 - 18 minutes - 5.39 MB

Us high-achieving? We're queens of overwork, overwhelm, and over-commitment? We identify so much with our work, get so much validation from our productivity, and identify so much with our achievement that we can struggle to stop working. But what does that lead to... 10-12 hour workdays... A 7-day work week... Vacations that, well, never happen... And what does all that lead to? Burnout and lives with no room for living, having fun, and enjoying our hobbies and passions. In today's epi...

#115 - How to BOUNCE BACK from a SH**** Month

September 01, 2020 14:00 - 17 minutes - 5.38 MB

AUGUST WAS CRAP. Was it just me? I didn’t feel productive. I didn’t feel motivated. I didn’t feel focused. I didn’t feel…any of the things I usually feel as a high-achieving person.

How can I get myself back on track? In today’s podcast, I’m going to share with you 3 tips for bouncing back from...

114 - 5 Things to STOP DOING to Take Back Your Life

August 25, 2020 14:00 - 18 minutes - 5.3 MB

"𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼-𝗱𝗼!!" . I get that impulse. That hesitation. When it feels like all this coach-y, self-help-y 💩 is just adding more to-dos into your busy AF life. But, what if I told you that burnout and boundaries can be just as much (if not MORE) about what you STOP doing as what you START? I feel like so often in the self-help and personal growth space, it can feel like a laundry list and it can feel irritating at times because we already have a lot of shi...

113 - Self-Care for High-Achievers

August 11, 2020 14:00 - 22 minutes - 6.6 MB

When I say "self-care" what do you think of? How do you feel about that? Do you grimace, thinking "oh dear God, another item on my to-do list"? Do you catch yourself thinking, "um...I don't need this! I'm already a badass"? I get it. I used to think of weight loss, pant sizes, and all that physical shit when people talked about self-care. But what if I were to tell you that there are some fundamental misconceptions not only about what self-care is, its benefits, and why you - yes, you - a...

SORRY NOT SORRY - but cutesy s***?! It's BS...and it's undermining your personal growth... “Cute” doesn’t transform you. It doesn’t motivate you when you’re stuck.

And that's why in today's podcast, I'm calling BULLSHIT on all the cutesy shit we catch ourselves doing...and giving you practical tips for how to get CLEAR on the shit that's going to cut the crap and...

111 - Dolce Far Niente: Taking a Page from Eat Pray Love

July 28, 2020 14:00 - 20 minutes - 5.91 MB

Movie references for the win because, say what you want about Eat Pray Love, but they NAILED the high-achiever, hustler mentality... There's this one scene in the movie Eat Pray Love where this man name Luca Spaghetti of all things makes some bold, absurdly accurate - in my opinion - claims about Americans. He talks about how we burn ourselves out, feeling like we have to earn pleasure and play, and, honestly, as culturally stereotypical as it is, it's so true! Because for me? I have gone ...

I don't know about you, but I've felt STUCK lately...and I've been judging myself for it... It started a few weeks ago. I did a Quarterly Business Review with a friend for the first time ever and all I could think was "Oh my God! Some biz owner you are...you've never even DONE something like this before..." Then, not long after that, I saw all this stuff online about "Be the CEO. Have a CEO mindset!" and it caught my eye again. But with another heaping dose of "Ummm...I don't even know wha...

Have you ever felt like you weren't showing up as fully you? Have you ever felt like the very labels that once empowered you felt like shackles? It's a story that's resonated with me in so many ways because it was what I experienced. But I've never heard it echoed so similarly from another person. Today, we have Elena Joy Thurston on the podcast. She's a transformational retreat leader, inspirational speaker, writer and recently gave her first TedX talk in Colorado Springs. She's on the po...

85 - Being GRATEFUL for the Season You're In

November 26, 2019 15:00 - 18 minutes - 5.59 MB

It's Thanksgiving week and I wanted to talk about something that would tie into this notion of thankfulness and being grateful. But I also was reflecting recently on the fact that this has truthfully been a tough year for me! Sometimes it's been tricky to be thankful and grateful because this year has been struggle after struggle. Growing pains are necessary, but they're not always pleasant! And I wanted to have a candid conversation about that... So, in today's episode, I'm talking about t...

How can we be committed to bettering ourselves, but also be mindful? CAN those two things coexist? In early September, my good friend Elena Thurston asked me that question and if she could interview for her community about the practical side of mindfulness techniques. And it turned into an awesome conversation that I cannot WAIT to share with you!  In today's podcast episode, we're turning the tables and I AM BEING INTERVIEWED by someone else, which is so fun, and we're discussing practica...

83 - Self-Accountability is the SECRET SAUCE

Do you ever feel like you can't follow-through you on your commitments? That you tend to flake out? That the only way you can get shit done is if you have someone there to hold you accountable? I get it. I used to feel like that too! In fact, that was the whole reason that I got my start in coaching because I was a fitness accountability coach. Showing up for my clients kept me committed and accountable to showing up for myself. And don't get me wrong, I think there' s a time and place for ...

November 05, 2019 15:00 - 48 minutes - 15 MB

The first time I remember having body image issues, I was a pre-teen...and the person who told me I was fat was a family member. That's actually the first time I have said that in a public space...but it's true and it wasn't the last time either. Basically, body image has been a constant struggle for me throughout my life. That's why when the babes of @wellnesslately asked about coming on the podcast and talking about diet culture, I knew that it was going to happen. Because these conversa...

October 29, 2019 14:00 - 17 minutes - 5.41 MB

Why isn't your BIG VISION coming true? Everyone told you just had to think it into being...MANIFEST your big vision into being...LAW OF ATTRACTION, right?! In my opinion + experience, that's not the case. I'm not saying that the law of attraction isn't real because self-confirming bias totally is! And I know that plays a role...but there's something missing... I sat down to review my vision not too long ago and I had a HUGE epiphany. I have already achieved a few of the things in that vis...
