We have loved every second of creating this podcast and have cherished each and every listener!
In this Episode we share with mixed emotions why we are putting it on ice for the time being.
*We believe in practicing what we preach and in many episodes you have heard us preach to be intentional with your time and focus on what is right for you in that moment. That is exactly what we have decided to do and we hope that we will be able to inspire you one more time to take a look at what you are spending time and energy on in your life and where you might want to make a few changes yourself in the next year!

How much time are you spending in the possibility of having what you desire?
Our brain is programmed to focus on what won’t work, what could go wrong, and all the reasons why we can't have it or why we're not capable of creating it.
Nothing has gone wrong.
This is simply your brain's way of keeping you safe.
But, this is also an unintentional way of being and operating in your life.
We want to be intentional, and purposeful, and use our higher brain to direct our lives.
In this episode, we share how you can tap into your higher-thinking brain and drive your thoughts and emotions with purpose and intention, and as a result, make what you thought was impossible a reality in your life.

This Episode is all about bursting your bubble. In the best possible way!
We are always thinking the same thoughts and think that that is all we have and all we are, when in reality there are a million other thoughts to choose from that can serve us in a much better way! Also...it just feels great to just experience that moment of freedom from our thoughts!
Maybe it's time for you to let go of your worn out thoughts and think yourself into freedom.

Often working too much on our weaknesses makes life much more difficult than working on our strengths.
We tend to focus on our shortcomings a lot and especially if we're self development junkies! It can come to a point where we default to looking at what we need to improve and forget about the things we are really good at!
This Episode is about expanding your strengths and only improving weaknesses only where relevant.

Do you ever feel like you are having a really bad day even if there is NOTHING wrong?!

In this Episode we let you know that you are not alone, what NOT to do when you feel like that and how you can make it through the day anyway.

Are you sure? Like reallly, reeeaaallyy sure?
We all like to think that there are things we know for sure and that gives us benefits like feeling safe, being comfortable, it makes life manageable and gives us a code to live by.
Why in the world would you want to give those up in exchange for uncertainty and un-knowing?!
Well! Life becomes less rigid, we become much more connected to the world around us and we definitely develop more tolerance and compassion to those who are different from us…just to name a few.
In this weeks Episode we talk about the beauty of rocking the boat a little :)

We all want to be safe and certain about our lives, who we are and what is expected from us. If this becomes blurry, we get unsettled and uncertain and it causes us to feel ungrounded and detached from our friends, family and community.

Who will you be once you have reached your goals?
We often set goals because they are prestigious or cool or expected, but have you ever considered whether your goals are in line with the kind of person you want to become?
This goes beyond having the money or the car or the degree, it goes much deeper into the core of who you want to be and how you will transform as a person.
Join us for this Episode #81 as we take a look at goals from a different perspective! It might just make you re-evaluate your reason for having them.

Do you you see yourself as an investment or do you feel apprehensive when it comes to spending on yourself?
Whether it is on courses or just granting ourselves a little TLC - we often hold back because we feel there is something "more important" that we should give priority to.

Everything we do (or don't do) is tied to our level of self-belief. We are all familiar with the famous Henry Ford quote that says "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right." Cognitively it makes total sense and logically we know that believing in ourselves will get us much further in life than not, and yet, we all struggle with belief.
In this episode, we deep dive into what believing in yourself really means and how you can believe bigger for yourself.

You will never have it all...AND THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT!
We often feel guilty for "wanting more". We hit this moral dilemma where we feel that we are ungrateful or materialistic, but on the other hand we cannot stop desiring that next level.
In this Episode we discuss all the reasons why it is actually good to have a desire to keep moving up (whatever that means for you) and how we can get rid of the guilt and negativity attached to it. We also talk about the different intentions of wanting more and how to make it meaningful to ourselves and those around us.

It's true that we all have a story. Many people deal with some heavy stuff. Traumatic experiences that when we hear about them, make us question how that person came out on the other end of it without completely losing themselves.
**We find these stories where people chose to be victors instead of victims very inspiring and we wanted to talk about how we can take our worst experiences and use them as fuel for change and an opportunity to grow by changing the narrative.

What is your expectation when you consume knowledge?
Not only paid courses but also the things you read, the podcasts you listen to, the people you listen to etc.
We are absolute junkies when it comes to consuming knowledge, expanding our awareness and developing ourselves and that will probably never stop (thank goodness!). BUT. What we have learned is that the key component to have all this content work for you, is the intention with which you go into it!
Loving your WHY is just as relevant when it comes to knowledge as it is with any other goals you set in life!You can grab the full show notes HERECONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.shedesignsherlife.com

We get to create the life we desire and it starts with our thoughts. A Course In Miracles teaches that there are no neutral thoughts. This is a heavy statement since it means that every single thought we think is creating the reality we're experiencing.
In this episode of the SDHL podcast, we unpack this a bit and share our thoughts on how you can leverage your thought power to create a life that you love.
When it comes to being a leader, we usually think about leading others. The more important question is... "Are you a self leader?". Do you need external forces to tell you who you are, set your goals and keep you motivated and validated?
In order to lead yourself, you need to step away and see yourself as a project to be managed and grown. What are your strengths? Your values and goals? And how will you keep yourself accountable?
In this Episode we dive into the journey of becoming your own leader and taking full responsibility for your life!

"I'd love to do more of what I love, but I don't have time...."
"Gosh my day has just been crazy busy...I can't get to everything!"
"Life just moves too fast. I can't keep up!"
Ever catch yourself saying that? What if time is more about WHAT you fill it with, rather than HOW much of it you have?
This episode is not about how to plan or save time but rather about how you show up within the time you have and what feeling you attach to it. Whether time is an illusion or not, it is still a huge reality for us in our day to day life and it is up to us to make it meaningful and worth our while.

In this Episode we have the absolute pleasure of chatting with the inspiring Ashley Bernardi! Ashley is the founder of the powerhouse media relations firm Nardi Media.
She shares with us her journey of finding herself and balance through her experiences of trauma.

Catastrophize: to imagine the worst possible outcome of an action or event : to think about a situation or event as being a catastrophe or having a potentially catastrophic outcome (def.: Merriam Webster dictionary)
Sound familiar? Examples would be: If I fail this test, I will never get a job, everyone will reject me and I will never get a chance to make something of myself again....tad dramatic? Yes. Only for drama-queens? No! We actually do it all the time (Some of us more than others of course).
Although it serves as a protection mechanism, chronically staying in this though pattern can be damaging and leave us exhausted and stressed.

Are you doing a whole lot of nothing?
Looking back at the past 2 years we have realized that we were very busy. But what do we really have to show for it?
Whether in our businesses, with our exercise routines or our hobbies, we often think more is better and that we have to keep on hustling and stay super busy all the time. What we have learnt though is that being too busy with too many things also divides the quality of attention you give to each task and leaves you SUPER exhausted and frustrated.
So this year we are on a mission to KEEP IT SIMPLE!

Are you a planner? We have certainly had our own number of ups and downs with planning. Whether it's planning a personal event or what we'll be focusing on in our business over the next 12 months, planning is definitely not always easy.

It is obvious why planning makes life easier and why planning is important to our businesses but why do some people find it easy while for others the task is excruciating?

Have you ever caught yourself thinking that "if this changes, or if this happens, then I will feel better"? Or, perhaps you've listened to a friend or loved one...thinking you have all the answers and if they just do x, y, or z, they will feel so much better (maybe you even think that you'll feel better). We think that if we change the circumstance for ourselves or for others, things will change.
In this week's episode of the She Designs Her Life Podcast, we share our thoughts on why changing the circumstance or external result will never help us to change how we feel. Tune in below.

Chances are you're taking in a lot of information. In today's information age, consuming information is just part of life and if you're anything like us...you probably love this because you value learning and growing.
At what point, though, have we consumed enough? Is there even such a thing? Or should we be striving for a balance between the information and content we consume and then actually doing something with that information (i.e. applying what you learned).
In this week's episode of the She Designs Her Life Podcast, we share our thoughts and insights as to why we (entrepreneurs) must find a balance between that which we consume and the action we take from what we've learned.

No one can walk the walk for us.

We talk a lot about mindset, what we’re thinking and how we’re feeling and we wanted to make sure that we give some attention to the importance of taking action towards your goals.
John Ruskin said: "What we think and what we believe is of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do."
So, if you’re not seeing the consequences (ie. the results you want in your life)...YES, it could be in part due to your thinking BUT it may very well be that you’re not taking enough action.
Perhaps you’re not taking any action at all because:
- you’re waiting for things to be a certain way
- you feel you’re not ready yet
- you think things need to be perfect before you can let them go out in the world.
*In this episode, we discuss why it is so important to take intentional action and why your thoughts and feelings need to be aligned with the type of action you take. human...that's all.

Does the topic of money make you uncomfortable?
Do you hear yourself saying things like:
- Money doesn’t grow on trees.
- It takes money to make money.
- There isn’t enough to go around.
- Money is the root of all evil.
- Money can't buy happiness.
- Rich people only care about money.
You see, we have sooo many money stories that have been passed from one generation to the next that it can feel totally overwhelming, and somewhat hopeless to try and change it. You may even be looking at some of the statements above and be thinking...but it's true.
It's not. #justsaying
John Demartini said: "If you don't put value on wealth, and actively seek it, you will never receive it."
The problem is, we never learn to actively seek it. To value it intentionally. Sure, we all would like to have more of it, and we get that we need it to do things like pay bills or buy nice things...but we are usually coming from a desperate space of frustration and lack.
So, how do we raise our money consciousness and the relationship we have with it? We break it down in this episode!

Yes you guessed it, in this episode we dive into the philosophy and teachings behind the famous book by Rhonda Byrne.
