In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and fellow certified life and weight coach, Heather Beardsley who helps women to thrive in midlife. We riff on the topic of perfectionism and how this keeps us stuck in scarcity. We share oodles of inspiration and truth bombs to help you get unstuck, and our own personal vulnerability and willingness (even though it's hard!) to let go of the bonds of perfection. We shed light on why saying YES to imperfection is the green light to take a deep breath and relax and become the "curious watcher" on the journey to your authenticity.
In this final episode of a 3-part thought work journey, learn how to put all the pieces together so you can use this amazing 5-step process. When we understand how to use this life-changing tool, we have the power to manifest what we want simply by shifting our thoughts. It's through this process that we also diffuse those self-limiting thoughts that keep us stuck, and make them less scary and overwhelming.
In this part 1 of this 3-part series, learn a powerful 5-step process to help you get to the root of any issue you face, and understand why they arise in the first place. When you learn how to apply these tools, you can manifest anything you want if you know how to apply this solution.

See you in class!
With all the lockdowns and kids at home from school, it's so easy to allow our brain to go to the extreme and think only in worst-case scenario. With patience and a plan, you can identify what is within your control and let go of the rest.
We CAN choose PROACTIVITY, not reactivity.
Now more than ever, we can "live into the future" and create a new set of beliefs and possibilities ... paint a new picture. We can use this as an opportunity to grow, not shrink, hide or run the other way.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- Why creating a plan gives you power and confidence
- Focus on what is in your control and let go of the rest
- Why hitting the pause button in your life gives clarity
- Living in the moment = stillness and abundance
- Time management as a form of "mind management"
- How NOT to choose victimhood
A rising tide really does lift all boats, and this is OUR TIME to show up and to think in a whole new way.
We have a great opportunity right now to get scrappy and discover new things and the solution is right in front of you. You just have to be open to it.
A crisis intensifies what is already there that we may not be facing. If we are open to it, we will see with clarity what our real WORK is.
In this episode I share my support for the challenges we're collectively sharing during this Coronavirus crisis. This episode is off-the-cuff, raw and unpolished with no bells or whistles ... just me hopping on the mic to talk about courage in the face of fear, allowing grace and allow the gifts of vulnerability to move though us.
Do you find all the reasons to not do what you say you will? Your reptilian brain is screaming: "me no wanna! I just want to knit and Netflix!"
How can you possibly resist? The idea of knitting is perfect considering it's been a long day, and you really want to watch that docuseries on Netflix. "I deserve to kick back," you tell yourself.
What is at play here is resistance. We choose to do what feels good instead of the things that will help us reach our great potential.
Resistance is so sneaky because it will always convince us to doing something that feels good instead of doing what's hard.
We find all the excuses … I’m hungry … I’m tired. I’m sick.
So many things that seem believable and then before you know it, your goals become wishes.
What happens when resistance comes for a visit:
-
When things get hard, we look for things that make us feel good
-
This is our primitive brain kicking in. IT. WILL. WIN if you let it
-
Natural tendency - we want to always seek comfort
-
We would rather take the path of least resistance
-
Humans by nature are lazy
-
The GOOD NEWS - this means you are a normal functioning human
How to overcome it:
-
Plan for it! It's not a matter of IF, it's a matter of WHEN
-
Get comfortable with being uncomfortable
-
You will allow the urge to NOT do what you say you will do.
-
The payoff of discomfort? You get to reach your ULTIMATE goals.
Discomfort is the currency of your dreams.
-Brooke Castillo
When it comes to planning, simple and scrappy is my philosophy.
Planning starts with just one sheet of paper and I show you how in this episode!
No fancy bells or whistles …
Just YOU, a pen and paper and your earbuds to listen to this episode!
Planning is the runway ... then you take off and fly!
