What is the first thing you think of when you think of Vulnerability?
It is probably a negative experience. Maybe a time when you opened up to someone and it bit you in the butt. You saw this experience as a weakness, maybe even as the reason someone left you or defriended you...
And we get it. Vulnerability is a tough topic. No one wants to talk about it. Many of you may be reading this and may think this topic is a joke or doesn’t apply to you… but vulnerability applies to everyone in all areas of our life!
If you are thinking that vulnerability is hard for you, trust us when we say you are not alone. Vulnerability is a difficult thing for most of us. We live in a society where nothing is never enough. We are never never powerful enough, never rich enough, never successful enough, never thin enough, and the list goes on. No wonder Vulnerability is hard for us!
Join us in this episode as we break down vulnerability and explain what vulnerability is, why it is difficult for us but yet so important for us, and how vulnerability can be our biggest strength.
Remember, taking a step in the right direction won’t just benefit you. Your friends need you to do this, your family needs you to do this, the world needs everyone to do a little more growing! Becoming more vulnerable ourselves will spark inspiration in everyone around us. Lead by example people… Because if you don’t, who will? Let’s not leave this to chance.
We hope our insight on this topic sparks a different outlook for you on vulnerability and how you can use it to your advantage within yourself, business, and life!

Over the past few months, one thing we have all realized is that nothing is normal.
From changes in yourself, business, and life we are feeling the anxiety scales off the charts.
From a young age we have been told and shown how this game of life “should” unfold.
Do this, don't do that.
Say this, don’t say that.
Go here, don’t go there.
The truth is that we all have our own sense of what normal is and it can mean different things at different times throughout our lives. We all just want to feel like we fit in.
The negative effects of social media are settling in as we all are spending more and more time on our phones. It is easy to catch the comparison flu, and causes so much pain & dissatisfaction.
We need to fill our lives with positivity and encouragement, and you are taking a great first step today by tuning in! It is up to us!
Together we can get rid of the notion that being normal and fitting in is the only way to be and just be our truest most authentic selves.

Henry Ford said it best, whether you think you can or you can’t, you're right.
What comes to mind for you when you think of teamwork?
Teamwork is an essential part of our lives, even more than we may think…

Do you feel like you could use a confidence boost in some area of your life? Are you sick of struggling to believe in yourself, or maybe even worse… feeling like your confidence is dependent on what others believe about you?
Confidence is something we can all admit to having struggled with at some point.
And Henry Ford said it best, “Whether you can or you can’t…. You are right”.
You may have heard the expression, “fake it until you make it”... and don’t get us wrong, that is definitely a good starting point! But, where do we go from there? We can’t fake it forever…
In this episode, we break down our perspectives on confidence and share with you some of the things we have learned as we continue to grow and build confidence in our lives.
Negative thinking inhibits our ability to grow and build confidence. Why do we think negatively in the first place?
Understanding that is key to being able to turn the negativity into positivity! From there, we can grow and build by implementing certain things into our everyday lives.
Confidence is a journey! Hop in and take a ride with us…

Boundaries are essential to healthy relationships as well as living a fulfilling and meaningful life.
If boundaries are so important to have, why are they hard to set?
Join us as we explore a few simple rules to help!
We must start through gaining a deeper understanding as to what boundaries are and how we can start creating them through communication.
But don’t be fooled- we can’t just fixate on our boundaries and walk away expecting everything to stay the same…..
Life is constantly changing. Change affects us all, and sometimes we don't know when, where how or why; but we know it's bound to happen. Learning to cope with this and being able to be flexible and adjust our boundaries to change is a key piece to the puzzle.
Boundaries aren’t always easy to keep but once you understand the negative effects of not having them, it makes creating them a bit easier.
But, after we do all this, how do we make sure all our hard work of establishing our boundaries stays in place? Press play and tune in until the end to find out :-)
