There’s a powerful dynamic playing out in so many homes that quietly shapes how we show up as moms, partners, and women. It’s a pattern of falling into emotional roles—like the villain, the victim, or the hero—especially in parenting, marriage, and family relationships.
Maybe you’re always rescuing your kids from discomfort. Or maybe you’re carrying the invisible weight of your whole family and feeling quietly resentful.
In this episode, I’m diving into the psychology behind these emotional roles, how they show up in motherhood, and why high-achieving women often get stuck in this cycle. You’ll learn how these patterns create disconnection and parenting triggers—and how to step out of them to become the calm, empowered leader your family actually needs.
If you’ve ever struggled with mom guilt, resentment, or trying to “fix” everything—this episode will shift everything.

Have you ever stayed up all night worrying about your kids?
Checked their location nonstop? Sent one too many “just checking” texts?
You’re not alone — and this episode is for you.
I’m sharing a real story from one of my private coaching clients whose 17-year-old son told her, “I wish you weren’t such an anxious mom.”
I unpack what’s really happening when mom anxiety shows up, especially around teenage independence, driving, and emotional distance.
You’ll learn:
- What triggers anxious parenting and why your brain spins into worst-case scenarios
- How anxiety manifests in your body and actions (like constant checking, controlling, or lecturing)
- Why identifying as “an anxious mom” is keeping you stuck — and how to shift it
- Simple, real-time tools to name, feel, and stop acting from anxiety
- How to respond to your kids with calm instead of fear — even when anxiety is present
Whether you're parenting teens, toddlers, or somewhere in between, this episode will help you stop letting anxiety drive your decisions and start showing up as the grounded, confident mom your kids need.
You are not your anxiety — and it’s possible to create peace in your parenting, one moment at a time.

Even when your life looks full and beautiful on the outside—marriage, kids, a career, a home you care about—it can still feel overwhelming on the inside. You go to bed with your mind racing and wake up already behind. You’ve checked the boxes, but something still feels off.
In this episode, I answer five real questions from high-achieving moms who are navigating what it means to feel stretched thin—even when they love their life.
You'll learn:
- How to reconnect in a marriage that feels more like roommates
- How to stay calm during toddler tantrums without yelling or shutting down
- Why you still feel rushed, even with good systems—and how to fix it
- What to do when you're pulled in every direction (kids, career, aging parents, all of it)
- How to stop parenting your adult children and start building a real adult-to-adult relationship
These are the tools I teach as a certified life coach for moms—and they apply whether you’re parenting toddlers or navigating the empty nest years. Because the transformation starts with your mind, not your circumstances.
If you want more peace, purpose, and connection in your life—without needing to do more—this episode is for you.

I recently heard a successful businessman say he doesn’t understand what mindset is and believes only action works. While action is essential, mindset is the foundation for how we approach everything—especially as moms.

I’ll also share personal examples of how I apply mindset in my own life as a mom of three, and how shifting your mindset can transform the way you show up in motherhood and beyond.
Let’s dive into how understanding and shifting your mindset can change everything!

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you do, it’s never enough? Like you have to be the perfect mom, the supportive wife, the easygoing friend—never rocking the boat, never disappointing anyone?

Most of us grew up thinking that discipline means punishment. You do something wrong, you get punished—it’s just what parents do, right? But what if I told you that punishment doesn’t actually teach the lessons we want our kids to learn?
In today’s episode, I’m walking you through a real-life example from a mom who faced this exact dilemma. After getting a call from school about her son breaking something on the bus, her first instinct was to take away his iPad. But then she paused and asked herself… Does this even make sense?
We’re unpacking why punishment creates fear instead of learning, the real reason behind problem behaviors (hint: it’s all about emotional regulation skills), and what to do instead to actually help your child grow. If you’ve ever questioned whether time-outs, taking things away, or other punishments really work, this episode is for you.

Overthinking can feel like a never-ending loop, draining your energy and stealing the joy from motherhood.
But here’s the truth: your brain isn’t working against you—it’s wired for survival. The problem is, in modern motherhood, that survival wiring often shows up as worry, perfectionism, and self-doubt.
In today’s episode, I'm diving deep into why your brain overthinks, how negative thought patterns take hold, and the real symptoms that show up in your daily life—like decision fatigue, anxiety, and feeling stuck in ‘what if’ spirals.
Most importantly, I’m going to teach you how to talk back to your brain so that overthinking no longer runs the show. Because when you learn to quiet the mental noise, you create more peace, confidence, and joy—not just for yourself, but for your whole family. Let’s get into it!

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Why is this so much harder for me than everyone else?” or “No matter what I do, nothing ever changes”? That’s victim mentality creeping in—and trust me, it’s sneakier than you think.
As high-achieving moms, we work so hard, yet it’s easy to fall into self-pity when we feel unappreciated, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted.
In this episode, I'm diving into the difference between real challenges and a victim mindset, why self-pity keeps you stuck, and how to shift from “Why me?” to “What now?”—because you have more power than you realize.
If you’ve been feeling frustrated, drained, or resentful lately, this one is for you. Let’s break free from victim mentality and step into a life where you feel in control again.

What's on your heart right now that keeps you up at night? Whatever it is, you deserve to work through it and create the life you want.
Your brain is wired to repeat the past, so unless you learn tools that show you how to change, you'll do more of the same. This means if you're constantly overwhelmed, you'll continue to be overwhelmed, unless you show your brain and body how to be different.
In this podcast, you'll learn the process of change, how to BECOME the woman you want to be.
You more than deserve to create a future that is better than your wildest dreams. Whether you want internal change (like becoming less anxious) or external change (like losing weight), in this podcast you'll learn the "Becoming Her" process that shows you how to go from where you are now to where you want to be.

Negative thoughts about motherhood are automatic because of how the brain works and because of the way we've been taught to think about being a mom.
If you buy into the "overwhelm narrative," feel like your life is happening to you, or any other negative thought pattern that is pervasive in motherhood, you are not alone! In fact, you're right on track with most. The problem is that track is headed for a lot of unhappiness, or at the least, happiness that is dependant on things outside of your control (like your kids).
There is SUCH a better a way.
You can get control over your negative thoughts as a mom, so you feel better, happier, and more fulfilled.
In this episode, you'll learn how to identify your negative thoughts and change them so you can show up as the mom you want to be.

Feelings play a huge role in your life. Your feelings are valid. Your overwhelm is valid. Your worry is valid. And it's not who you are. You are an amazing, incredible mom. You just haven't learned how to think of feelings as a skill that you can get really good at. When you learn how to think about feelings differently (with a completely different mindset) and you increase your capacity to validate your feelings, not only do you show up more as the mom you want to be, but you simultaneously help your kids, too. When your child is feeling upset about their friends, for example, you'll know exactly how to support them because you understand feelings. This skill is learnable and a total game changer for your life and your kid's lives. Tune into this podcast to learn how you can help yourself and your kids with feelings.

In the busyness of the season, it's easy to forget about reflection. This is because it's hard to pause and remember what happened in the last year given everything going on in the daily logistics of being a mom. It just ends up not being a priority. But if you want to make long lasting changes in the future, like stop yelling at your kids or lose the baby weight or anything in between, it's actually important to start with reflecting on the past. The way you think about your past has a huge impact on how you approach future goals and transformations. For that reason, doing a year end reflection is powerful as well as helpful.
In this episode, you'll learn why it's important to do a year end reflection as a mom as well as twenty questions to ask that you can journal about or answer on the go that will help you actually do the reflection.
The way you think about last year matters. Learn how to create last year's story on purpose in this episode.

Having a growth mindset allows kids to overcome challenges, failures, and mistakes, while maintaining self-confidence and self-love. Additionally, a growth mindset helps kids set, pursue, and achieve their biggest dreams.
A growth mindset isn't something that's a given because of it's counterpart, the fixed mindset. A fixed mindset limits kids from believing in themselves by attributing their shortcomings or failures to "just the way they are." With a fixed mindset, kids stay stuck and limit themselves.
In this podcast, Natalie Bacon shares five key practical strategies that you can start using with your kids today to help them have a growth mindset.

It's hard to feel happy as a mom, and yet, there's often nothing we can point to that's the cause of our own unhappiness. On the outside, life seems to be going good enough.

There's a real reason why it's so hard to feel happy and it has to do with the way your brain is wired. It's not your fault if it's hard to feel happy; it's quite normal and typical. But it doesn't have to stay that way if you don't want it to.
In this episode you'll learn why it's hard to feel happy in motherhood and five specific tips from positive psychology that can help you start feeling happier today. If you want to feel happier more often, then this podcast is for you.

Self care for moms can seem like an oxymoron with the everyday demands of modern motherhood combined with any additional challenges of the current season.

In this episode, you'll learn alternative ways to approaching self care as a mom with a full (and seemingly very busy) life so you need fewer escapes and can "fill your own cup" (as the saying goes) from the inside out.
You'll discover how rethinking self care during this season of life is imperative to your own happiness and well-being.

When life throws a curve ball and there's a new challenge you're presented with, how do you handle it? If you're like me and most of my clients, the tendency is to look for someone to blame—blame towards someone else, blame towards the world, or blame towards yourself.
While, yes, it's true that people need to be held accountable for their actions, we often take this too far, looking for someone to take responsibility for our feelings. We blame other people and the world for how we feel. When we can separate out other people's actions from our feelings, we become empowered.
Sometimes, there's isn't someone to blame at all. It's just the way things go. Getting to a place of acceptance can be very powerful for working through challenges with in-laws, in marriage, and more.
In this episode, you'll learn the down side of blame and what to do instead so that you can feel better and work through hard times.

Often, we can't choose our circumstances. Whether it's a health diagnosis, in-law dynamics, struggles our kids are experiencing, or something else, life often deals a hand that you wouldn't choose for yourself. Sometimes, life is just hard.
On default, the human brain wants to look externally to solve these challenges by changing other people or what's happening in the world. It goes into "fix it" mode. The problem with this is that it often leaves you feeling miserable and it doesn't work.
We can't control what other people say or do, much like we can't control the weather. We can, however, control who want we to be in any circumstance, even the hardest of them.
Training your brain to look inward at "who you want to be" in a challenging circumstances is the most useful way to navigate life's hardest times. In this episode, you'll learn the skills to do just that, so you can show up as the empowered woman you want to be.

We all know that little kids and toddlers have tantrums, but did you know that adults have tantrums, too? It's true. And even though we don't typically call them "tantrums" that's exactly what happens when we feel emotionally dysregulated.
Thinking about our own emotional dysregulation in the form of a tantrum is helpful because it connects us to our kids. We can see that it's not them doing something "to us" or "to be bad" but instead is simply an emotional reaction.
In this episode, I share my own experience with anger, frustration, and mom tantrums in a way that shows just help helpful bringing awareness to these tantrums can be both for ourselves and for our families.

As moms, we care so much about how we're doing and often wonder "am I a good mom?". We end up comparing ourselves to other moms, thinking we're not good enough, and even worse, looking to our kids happiness to define our value and worth. Instead of using standards that lead to more mom guilt, I share a new way of thinking about what it means to "be a good mom."
Instead of feeling like you're failing, not measuring up, always behind, and lacking in some way, you can use mindfulness tools to redefine your value as a mom in a way that feels empowering. Then, you can use this standard to check in and evaluate how you're doing over time.
In this episode, I teach a new framework for measuring "good mom" as well as share the specific way I use the framework in my own family.

So often we end up beating ourselves up all day, so at the end of the day, we're pleasure-deprived.

Struggling with time management can feel like you're always putting out fires, never having time to lead and live your life.

Most people use a to do list to keep track of what they want to get done. This makes sense in theory. However, in practice, it leaves you feeling behind. You live like you're always reacting, putting out fires, and never making progress on your own goals.

Whenever you doubt yourself, you set yourself up for slowing down or quitting. You self sabotage. The solution to self doubt is self confidence.
Self confidence is internal. It's a thought pattern. It's your opinion about yourself.
Typically, we're taught to look to our past experience for evidence of whether we'll be successful in the future. But to be successful at something you've never done, you must be confident in yourself first. This means believing in yourself even when you're failing and doing it all wrong.
Self confidence is a skill that you can get really good at. In this episode, I show you exactly how.

If you're in Money Scarcity, it's a huge problem. It will shape your future with money in a very negative way. Instead of creating more wealth, you'll create more lack.
What most people don't understand is that Money Scarcity is a thought pattern. It's not based on how much (or how little) is in your bank account.

The biggest mistake most people make in the journey toward success is they make their failures and obstacles mean they should quit.
Instead of interpreting the road-blocks as signs you're not cut out for it, what if you decided on purpose what you want your opinion to be regardless of the circumstances?
This is something we don't learn how to do.
So most people self-sabotage, when all along it's just a misunderstanding.
You can decide to feel self-doubt, not make it mean anything, and create the exact future of your dreams.
Listen to this episode to learn how.

We quit our jobs, we end relationships, or we move to a new city. But other times, the world hands us change we didn't expect. Tragedies, terrorism, shootings, fires, and the latest... Coronavirus. When change happens in the world that we didn't ask for, it requires so much mental toughness because you have to transition in a way you didn't expect to and don't want to. There's so much resistance that comes with this that if you don't manage your mind, you'll be left feeling irritated at best or panicked at worst. To make the most out of it and get some control back, I'm showing you exactly what to do. In this episode, I give you the steps to manage your mind when there's chaos going on in the world.

Most people think emotions are soft or something to be "managed" (or avoided).
The truth is everything you do or don't do is because of how you feel.
This means that if you want to create something new and different in your life, you have to learn how to identify and allow emotions.
It's something we're not taught and typically ignore.
In this episode I share with you why you need to get really comfortable with your emotions if you ever want to create the life of your dreams.

A HUGE mistake people make is being "confused" about how to achieve their goals.
This is just what your brain does. It freaks out when you want to do something new.
The best way to solve this confusion is to set up a system where you track your results.
It sounds kind of boring at first, but it's the glue that holds each step together on your way to success.
When you track your goal progress, you're clear about what's working and what's not. When you don't, you waste so.much.time.
In this episode, I show you exactly how to track your progress so you can achieve your most impossible goals.

Have you ever had your brain freak out as soon as you set a huge goal? It can immediately feel impossible—like you can't do it. Your brain comes up with all the reasons why it's not going to happen.
To change how your brain thinks about your goal (so you can actually have a shot of achieving it), I've come up with a list of 7 questions. These questions will help you bring awareness on how to achieve your goal, despite all the obstacles you're facing.
Listen to this episode to get the list of 7 questions that will help you stop having so much doubt and start succeeding.

Most people come to me and they want to know how to do something. They think the how is the secret to getting what they want.
But that's not it at all, my friend. Not even close.
The how changes all the time. Technology shifts, things change. Some things that work for one person don't work for another person.
It's not about the how.
It's about the WHY.
When you have a strong and compelling why, you're committed to getting the result you want no matter what. You have grit, focus, commitment, and most importantly... you're willing to do hard things, including failure and experiencing a ton of negative emotion.
In this episode, I explain what a compelling why is and how to make sure you have one so you can achieve your impossible goal this year.

If there's an area of your life where you want new results, you can't do more of what you're already doing.
Doing more of the same action will lead to the same or slightly better results.
If you want to uplevel your life and get massive results—results that take you to a completely new level, you need to change your identity.
I did this when I shredded my identity as a lawyer, then a financial planner, then a blogger, and then a life and business coach. For each career change, I decided I wanted to level up completely. I wanted to create massive results.
If there's an area of your life where you don't just want to improve, but you want to completely transform and uplevel your results, listen to this episode, and I'll show you exactly how.

Do you ever find yourself feeling frustrated, stressed, or annoyed?
The solution isn't to jump to some positive affirmation and switch your thoughts.
This is what I see most new students and clients doing—resisting the negative emotion, trying to feel better right away.
There's a really big mistake when you do it this way. You resist what is instead of accepting it. You cause the negative thoughts to reappear without ever resolving them.
It's like a GPS when you put in the destination you want to drive to. You don't just need the final address. You also need the starting point. Without it, you can't get clear directions.
The same is true in life. There's where you are now and where you want to go. You get the steps to move from where you are now to where you want to go by having both the end and starting points.
This means you have to look at all the not-so-fun-stuff like what your real beliefs are—even if (especially if) they're really negative.
If you're feeling stuck, unmotivated, or any other negative emotion that you've been hesitant to look at, I have a new tool to teach you in today's episode: Curiosity and Compassion.
It's through using curiosity and compassion you'll get the understanding and acceptance of where you are now so you can move to where you want to go with openness instead of resistance.

In this episode, I show you how to bring awareness to your current relationships and then how to create better relationships intentionally.

Do you want a more fulfilling career, to work from home, and make more money? This is what most people come to me with, and they want to know if (and how) they can start an online business to accomplish those things. Five years ago, I knew nothing about online business and had $206k in student loan debt from law school. Now I have a multi six figure online business as a life and business coach. I did it on top of a lot of failures, and I now know what works and what doesn't. In this episode, I share exactly what you need to know to start an online business (and the three common mistakes I see that you should avoid).

For the goal you want to achieve most, what is the main emotion driving you?
This is what I call Goal Fuel.
Your Goal Fuel is what determines whether you'll stick it out and achieve long term success.
If you're driven by scarcity (lack, stress, deprivation), even if you take the right actions, you're not going to be successful long term because you'll want to slow down or quit (stress doesn't feel good, after all!).
If you're driven from abundance emotions (love, commitment, excitement), that's what you'll create more of. You'll keep going through all the ups and downs and you'll be wildly successful.
In this episode, I show you how how to identify and create new Goal Fuel so you can be successful long term in any area of your life.

Do you beat yourself up about your body? As women we do this, and it's a huge problem that can lead to creating unnecessary pain and suffering in your life.
The solution isn't to change your circumstances. It's not to change how you look or how much you weight. The solution is to rewire your brain and think differently. The solution is to love your body unconditionally.
In this episode, I teach you how to love your body from having enough, and from there, set and achieve impossible body goals.

Most people tell me they don't know what their purpose is. Thinking this way is actually the problem with uncovering your purpose. In order to access your deepest desire for your life, you must remove all the escaping and see what's left. From this place of awareness, you will find the truth of your life. You'll uncover what you really want most. But removing escaping isn't always easy. Most of us don't even know it's happening or that it's a problem. In this episode I explain what escaping is, how to stop it, and how this is the secret to uncovering your true purpose in life.

Are you someone who struggles to get ready in the morning?
Rolling out of bed, throwing on yoga pants, and getting to the first item on your to-do list might seem like the best way to go about your day, but the truth is it's not.
There's a much better way, and it's about becoming the person you want to be right now through how you show up, including how you dress every day.
In this episode, I show you how you can get started showing up 100% every day and why it's so important to start right now.

Have you ever felt like a complete imposter? That feeling that comes from doing something new, getting the result you want, then thinking you're completely inadequate and someone is for sure coming to take it all away.
Imposter syndrome is a huge problem and if you don't know how to solve it, you will self-sabotage and push away the very success you worked so hard to create.
In this episode, I share with you how to identify imposter syndrome and what to do about it so it doesn't ruin your success.

"I don't have enough time."
"I'm so busy."
"I wish I had more time."
Sound familiar?
You may not know this yet, but time is something you can actually control. You do this by creating a plan, then by learning how to manage your mind (your thoughts) around time. This will change your relationship to time.
As a result, you'll create more time for yourself.

Have you ever wanted something so bad, then got it and pushed it away?
For example, you want more money. You create money. Then you spend the money before you even had a chance to have it. Creating, having, and giving are all part of the process of achieving goals. If you don't learn how to have what you create, you'll sabotage the very success you've always wanted. It's not just money. It's with every result you want but don't have yet. You want it so bad. Then you get it and don't know how to have it, so you get rid of it. You have to become someone completely different when you get what you want. You have to be the person who has it and give up the person who wants to have it. Your brain will freak out. You're becoming someone new. Allow the freak out. Learn how to be with what you've created.

Have you ever thought about how you want to find your passion?
What about how you want to create a life full of purpose?

You probably shower every day to make sure your body is clean. In this episode, I show you how to give your mind that same daily cleaning.
With over 60,000 thoughts per day, if you're not spending time thinking intentionally every single day (without distraction), you're going to be living in default, repeating more of what you've thought in the past.
Thinking time helps you manage your mind, achieve your goals, and create your dream future. It's a must.

Have you ever felt like "something is wrong"?
If you answer yes it's because you have a human brain.
We all have this going on in our brains in the background to some extent. It stems from having a "survival brain" that had to be on the lookout for danger all the time in order to quite literally survive.
While this was super useful to get us to modern times, now it's getting in the way of our happiness, our goals, and quite honestly, our day to day life.
In this episode, I show you what to do when your brain defaults to "something is wrong" so you can use it to your advantage and stop letting it get in the way of you living your best life.

Have you ever found yourself separating from other people?
Sometimes it sounds like this...
- She's so negative.
- She isn't into personal development.
- I can't stand how much she complains.
- We don't have anything in common.
While all these statements may be true, they may not be useful. In fact, they may be causing unnecessary separation.
I've been guilty of this, too.
But what if we found ways to connect instead of ways to separate?
You can redirect your brain to look for connection instead of separation.
It won't do this naturally. You have to direct your brain. You have to show it how.
I've done this in my life and the result is magical.

Sometimes happiness feels unattainable. You might feel like it’s a destination or that nothing you're doing is making you happy.
This is totally normal.
However, there are four brain chemicals that produce feelings of happiness that you can use to your advantage to increase your happiness.

Do you want the answer to all of your questions? This may sound a bit too good to be true but it’s actually not. All it takes is a little bit of patience and a whole lot of confidence.
When you stop relying on everyone else and train yourself to answer your own questions, you will solve your own problems and create the results you want for yourself. You won’t have excuses of “not knowing how to do something” to get in the way of moving forward.
The quicker way to finding the answer to a question isn’t always the smarter way. The smarter way is to try and figure it out yourself.
In this episode, I show you how to start solving your own problems and answering your own questions so you can grow and achieve your biggest goals.

Did you know there's a huge difference between where you intend to go in your future and where you're actually headed? This is the difference between what you aspire to have in the future and the action you're taking right now to move you toward it. If you don't know the difference between what you desire (intention) and where you're actually headed (direction), you may end up with a future you don't want at all.
The sooner you become clearer on the difference between the direction you're actually headed and where you intend to go, the sooner you’ll be able to know if you’re headed in the right direction and the sooner you'll be able to create the exact future you want.
This episode will help you understand the difference between the direction you're headed in and the intention you want for your future so that you don't make irreparable mistakes.

When you’re designing your dream life, it’s likely that you have a list of goals that you want to achieve. It’s great to be aware of your goals, but there may be a big disconnect standing in your way of achieving them.
If you’re not becoming the person who has the results you want before going after your goals, then you won’t achieve the results you’re looking for.
Taking action from where you are right now is a mistake. You must become the person you want to become, think and feel their emotions and then create action from that place.
The solution to becoming the person you want to be is by creating a “Being List.”
A “Being List” is your list of thoughts and feelings you need to have in order to be the person you want to achieve the goal you’re working on.
In this episode, you'll learn exactly how to create your own “Being List” to finally achieve the results you’ve been working towards.

When it comes to doing things for ourselves, we rarely push through when we’re met with discomfort. We make the discomfort mean stop, slow down, or quit, instead of using discipline and deliberate discomfort to get us to our goals.
When you go after a goal, like designing your dream life, it means you’re creating something new and different. Naturally, you’re going to be scared, there will be failure and rejection and discomfort.
It’s important to not make slowing down or having obstacles mean something and just let it be the discomfort that is inevitably going to happen when there is growth involved. Assign meaning to whatever you want, but do it to your advantage instead of your disadvantage.
This means you stop making obstacles, failures, and discomfort of pursuing your goals mean you’re out of alignment and something has gone wrong.
If you get really good at experiencing negative emotion, without being afraid of it, you won’t avoid, resist, or react to it.
You’ll learn to plan for deliberate discomfort and welcome growth with open arms.

The truth about endings is that they are always going to happen.
Just like the seasons changing, you’re going to go through seasons of your life that end.The key is to accept that they happen (and are supposed to happen) and to not make them mean something has gone wrong.
When it comes time to leave something behind in your life, only you are going to know when that is. There is no right time to leave.
The more you say no to things that no longer serve you, the better off you will be. You will become more resilient when you don’t depend on things that can change. By allowing yourself to be happy when leaving something, you get to do what you want to do, when you want to do it.
The practice of leaving something when you’re happy becomes easier over time.
In this episode, I show you how to practice leaving when you’re happy. You’ll no longer be leaving jobs or relationships because they’re bad, but rather because they’ve served their purpose in your life and you’re ready for your next level.

Your past only exists as sentences in your head. These sentences make up a story. That story is what you tell yourself about your past and it may be causing you pain. The great news is that you have the power to rewrite your story.
You have the ability to change your past, no matter what has happened for you.
By rewriting moments in your life that have caused you pain, you will be able to look back on them with gratitude that they brought you to where you are today. Everything that has happened in your life has unfolded just the way it was supposed to.
Life is happening for you and not to you. It’s time to stop rethinking old thought patterns so you can stop repeating your past. Get rid of past focused decision making and start to focus on the future. Rewrite the stories of your past from the abundance mentality and watch your past change.

If you've heard me teach massive action, you know it means taking enough action to get the result you want. It's a commitment to overcome obstacles and failures in the name of success.
But massive action has one fatal flaw: if used without massive thinking, you'll never get the result you want.
Massive thinking means thinking new and better thoughts that are aligned with creating the result you want.
At each thought plateau you reach, you'll have to use massive thinking to move from where you are to the next level.
Then, massive action flows naturally.

Do you want to know how to land your dream job?
How about make more money, too?
The secret is to become a person who overdelivers in value. When you overdeliver in value to your job (or business), you become a person of excellence. You attract money and opportunities. You move out of the time and effort economies and into the value economy.
I remember when I first learned this. Overnight, I changed.
I used to complain about my job. I used to look forward to 5pm and the weekends. I thought it was my job's job to make me happy.
I was wrong.
When I stopped thinking about time and effort and started focusing on how I could provide more value, everything changed for the better.
I started to love my work. I overdelivered at my job. I became someone who goes "all in" with whatever job I'm doing. I created opportunity in my mind first. Then, it became my reality.
In this episode, I show you how to land your dream job and make more money.

Have you ever thought any of these sentences...
- I’m okay. There are some things wrong with me, but I’m alright.
- I'm different.
- There's something wrong with me.
- I have a damaged past.
- I accept the way I am, even if that means I'm not good enough.
These sentences seem harmless (or, even true).
But the truth is they're not.
This is self-sabotaging self-talk that leads to self-loathing (among other things).
It's so important to address these seemingly innocent thoughts if you want to design a full, exceptional, and amazing life.
In this episode, I show you exactly how to have your own back, so you no longer accept the opinion you have of yourself, but instead create an intentional opinion that leads to the exact results you want.

There's a new tool called an "Alter Ego" that you can use in your life to get amazing results.
Take any area of your life where you want to improve.
Then, create an alter ego for it.
Let's say you want to be a better leader in your job.
You choose someone you know is an amazing leader already.
This can be someone famous or someone you know personally.
Then, you practice acting as if you were her when you're in that role.
The key is to get a clear picture of the characteristics this person has and only use them when you're in that role.
In this example, you wouldn't use your leadership Alter Ego in your personal life, you would only use it in your career.
You can do this for everything.
Your business, your personal life, your physical goals, etc.
We all play different roles in our lives, and the key is to be intentional about how you're showing up in each role.
And there's even more fun you can have with this.
Like choosing a piece of jewelry to wear while you're in this role as a reminder of what your intention is.
To get the full scoop on how to apply this to your life, listen to the podcast episode below.

Have you ever really gone through something tough?
I have.
I'm guessing you have.
I don't know anyone who says, "oh, I've had a really easy life."

Do you ever think about what you want most in life... if you believed anything was possible?
When I ask people what they really want, they tell me. But it's followed by, "I don't know how to [fill-in-the-blank]."
I tell them I have good news.
I say, "How is none of your business."
I teach them how to believe without knowing how to do the thing they want to do.
Believe. Then take one action.
One step—the next step—is enough.
Want to lose weight? Have better relationships? Make more money? Have a more fulfilling career? You can.
You don't have to know how to do it today.
In this episode, I'll show you exactly how to do this in your life for whatever it is you want most.

Do you find yourself worried about what other people think?
Whether it's starting a business, changing careers, or doing something against the advice of your closest family members, the result is the same -- you're thinking about what someone else is thinking about you.
The truth is, you can't control what other people think. If you try, you'll fail because you can't ever know for sure what someone is thinking.
If you show up in the world worried about what people think, you won't show up authentically. Even if people do like this watered down version of you, they really don't like the real you because you're not being you.
In this episode, I share how you can reframe how you think about what other people think about you.
When you let go of what other people think and you show up as yourself, you begin to show people how you expect to be treated. You learn how to let people be wrong about you. And you have a deep-seated confidence that can't be broken.

Consumer debt. Student loan debt. Mortgage debt.
It's all debt.

Your debt can be empowering. You can use it to your advantage. And you can feel good about your debt so that you pay it off from abundance instead of scarcity.
In this episode, I show you how to change your thinking about debt so you can get the results you want in your financial life.

"I only write when I am inspired. Fortunately I am inspired at 9 o'clock every morning." ― William Faulkner

Do you like giving?
Have you ever thought about why you give?
A friend said to me she regretted giving someone a gift because the recipient didn't appreciate it.
This took her out of generosity.
She had expectations. Her friend fell short.
She didn't give to be generous. She gave because she thought she had to give and she wanted appreciation from the recipient for her giving.
This isn't true generosity. Generosity is a feeling and an action.
When you give because you want to (without expectation), you give from abundance. You are a person who is generous.
When you give with expectations and to get something from someone else, you give from scarcity.
The difference is in how you feel.
Give or don't give. But whichever you choose, like your reason.
I love giving. It feels so good to give. I want to be generous.
But I wasn't always like this. I used to have expectations when I gave. I don't now. I give from a place of abundance because this is who I want to be.
It's better this way.
Decide if you want to be a generous person. Then be her.

Have you ever thought about why you're not more productive?
Most of us are busy, overwhelmed, or burned out.
At least, we think we are.
The truth is that this is just a mismanaged mind.
You can create goals, create a plan, then put all the actions on your calendar to accomplish that goal.
The secret sauce to successfully doing this is being more productive. And the way you become more productive is you stop measuring time and effort and you start measuring what you produce.
I will show you how to do just that in this episode on productivity.

Can you think about a problem you're having right now?
It probably doesn't feel great.
When you have a problem and you're feeling bad about it, the best thing for you to do is separate out the facts from your thoughts about the facts.
Facts are neutral. They're circumstances. They're neither good nor bad.
It's when you have a thought about a circumstance that it becomes good or bad.
This is where problems are created.
You create your own problems by having thoughts about neutral circumstances.
This doesn't mean you should stop.
You probably want to have some problems.
When someone you love lies to you, I bet you want to make that mean you're disappointed. And I bet you want to feel sad about that.
The point is not to eliminate all your problems.
The point is to recognize that you're the one responsible for creating your problems.
When you understand this, you get your power back.
Then, you can decide how you want to solve your problems.
I did this with my student loan debt.
I used to think it was happening to me .
When I started believing it was happening for me , everything changed.
I turned my six figure debt into a six figure online business.
I changed the story I was telling myself.
I took my power back so I could create a solution.
Whatever your problem, you can do this, too.
I don't have any doubts about it.
You have what it takes to solve that problem.
It's within you.

Do you have a hard time holding onto your money?
Whatever the reason, your money comes in and goes right out.
Maybe you pay your bills right away.
Maybe money is tight.
Whatever the reason, one thing is for sure—that money is out the door fast.
Here's a fun fact: this has nothing to do with making money.
It has nothing to do with saving money. It has to do with having and holding onto your money. It’s not enough to make more money. It’s not enough to save a more money.
You have to know how to hold onto your money. You have to know how to have it. You have to know how to treat it well.
Do you treat your money with respect? Do you speak highly about your money? Do you love logging into your bank account?
Do you appreciate your money?
Your relationship with money matters.
Decide what type of relationship you want with the money you have, just because it's money—not for what it can buy you.
That's what I'll show you how to do in this episode.
