Feeling drained and exhausted? Join me on today's episode as I discuss how to manage + bounce back from professional and personal burn out. I don't believe burn out is something that can be avoided, it's something you have to learn to manage and work through.

We’re all too familiar with the fear of not being good enough and the fear of failure. But what if I told you that conquering imposter syndrome is actually quite achievable? To gain confidence, remove your self-imposed limitations and take control of your success – it all starts with developing a strong mindset and believing in yourself. Today I share my story with it.

There's no denying it – sometimes a good insult is just what we need to get motivated. Sure, compliments make us feel confident and can boost morale in the short-term, but with a well-crafted insult, you'll dig down deep and find that extra spark of motivation. Insults may sting in the moment, but they can also help us to push past our perceived limits and reach new heights that other words of encouragement simply couldn't provide. So don't be too quick to brush off an insult – potentially, that's exactly what you need to unlock your greatest potential - atleast for me it was.
Today I am sharing the top insults that motivated me to be BETTER.

The journey to creating and building self-confidence can be a daunting one. It involves a lot of trial and error as well as personal growth. There will be moments of fear and doubt that you must overcome, times when you need to find the courage to keep going, and a lot of learning along the way. It's important to approach your journey with patience and understanding, taking time to reflect on where you are right now and what steps you need to take in order to reach your goals.
Always remember that nobody is perfect, but with dedication and hard work, it is possible to create long-lasting self confidence that will shape who you are as an individual.
It truly is a lifelong journey.

Navigating heartbreak is an aspect of life we all have to endure, its pretty much a non negotiable. As I am working through these challenges, I am reflecting on the mechanisms I've adopted over the years to better equip myself to move forward.
This week we are discussing my best tactics for overcoming heartbreak + how I survived a toxic 3 year relationship that taught me many lessons on having a broken heart.

Do you ever wonder how some people seem to start something and progress so quickly and think, why not me? Why is it so simple for them? From what I've learned -- it boils back down to one MAJOR thing -- self sabotage.
Self-sabotage is an insidious behavior that can be incredibly damaging. It saps your confidence, kills your momentum and waste both your money and time. On a deeper level, it undermines your personal growth and prevents you from achieving the goals that you have set for yourself. By engaging in self-sabotaging behavior, you are essentially placing limits on how far you can go and how much success you can enjoy so let's stop that shit, right here and right now.
Cool?

As you know, I took last week off from the content train and the challenge life. I endured a devastating loss which really took my head out of the game for a few. But it made me realize a few things...we all want to reach our fullest potential and become our best selves, but the journey towards self-optimization isn’t always easy. There will be days when we feel like we’re crushing it, and days where we feel like giving up. The important thing is to keep pushing through and remind ourselves of why we set out in the first place. We have to be kind to ourselves and accept that life can be unpredictable at times, but with each challenge or setback, there are new opportunities for growth. Life is an ever-evolving journey – one that can bring us infinite joy if we just remain focused on our destination.
So back on track we go with saving money everyday (you decide the amount, I am doing $50) and then investing it at the end. Cheers to building strong money habits.

Where we place our attention is where #growth occurs. So if you want to change in a positive way, stay focused on that change.
When we fixate on negative things, we attract more similar experiences. For ex: one of our clients decided to retire and thus will no longer be working with us which is a major bummer but also, not something to fixate on. Clients come and go — so the focus shifts to attracting new.
Same is true for making physical changes. If I focus on abs, eventually I will see them.
Challenge 4 technically kicks off today, but I’m starting it officially tomorrow (because that’s when the meals arrive lol)
Let’s do the damn thing.

Thinking about the #habits that hold us back and keep us stuck either exactly where we are OR in mediocrity.
I’ve never wanted to live a mediocre life — but how we personally define mediocre is different to everyone.
The definition of mediocre = of only moderate quality. Which leaves a lot of room for interpretation.
Once I defined what #mediocre looked like for me - I was able to review how I personally operate and what habits + routines keep me in that place.
The entire purpose of this challenge is to level up how you live so that you’re maximizing each and every moment of life.
The future isn’t guaranteed - we only have now.
What habits are holding YOU back?

Welcome to challenge 3 - 14 days of 100 crunches or sit-ups + 2 minutes of #meditation daily. The purpose behind this challenge is to combine a mental habit with a physical habit. It's not about abs in two weeks (although that would be great) it's about doing something and not making any excuses for skipping.
100 sit-ups takes under 90 seconds to complete.
2 minutes of meditation is 2 minutes of your day.
We've got this, let's go!
