The YOLO Revolution: Recent Episodes
Kandis James
If you're ready to transform your life to live with purpose, to experience more joy, to follow your dreams and finally do what you've been waiting for some day or one day to do - then you're in the right place. Consider this your warning that you only live once. Which is why I've spent the last 12 years using mindfulness-based tools to create and live my best life - traveling the world, becoming a published author, building a successful business, creating joy on demand, and helping others do the same. In this podcast, you'll learn that the only thing getting in the way of living your best life is your own mind. Join me to discover how to reprogram your subconscious and harness the power of your mind so that anything you dream in life can become your reality. Welcome to the Yolo revolution. -------**(Previously the Get Outta Your Head (and into your life) podcast)
This podcast episode is a MUST LISTEN for everyone. It’s super short, yet powerfully packed. Have a listen. Listen again. And share with your friends.

"And if we are not actively practicing resilience, actively practicing watching where our thoughts go, actively practicing moving forward and letting things go, then it's actually quite a high probability that you're going to get stuck in this sh*t.
You're going to feel like crap. You're going to feel like, “What's the point?”
You're going to start to get in this negative arena, and that's not where life is meant to be lived."

🥳🎂 It's official—I'm turning 40! 🎉🎈
And I feel like a new, exciting chapter is beginning.
That’s the fun thing about life, isn’t it? There’s always potential for something new just around the corner. (wanted, or not)
Last year, when I almost died in the hospital and received a diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes, I was terrified of all the change it would bring. And it was an adjustment, to say the least.
But, as long as we’re alive, we have the opportunity to not just get through anything life throws at us - but to create the best version of life each and every day. (which, of course, looks different for everyone)
I’ve never been one to get caught up on numbers when it comes to age.
I’ve always lived by the idea that the BEST age is always the one I’m currently living - no matter how high the numbers creep ;)
Because it’s only MY CURRENT AGE in which I’m currently alive - and it’s only this age in which I have the ability to create a life that lights me up.
And the same goes for you.
In my latest podcast episode, I share my reflections since last year’s (third) near-death experience, as I approach “The Big Four-Oh”, and reflect on the various chapters in my life that have brought me to where I am today.
But why is this personal reflection important for YOU?
Because with each new chapter brings change. Or perhaps better put - change brings new and exciting chapters.
Unfortunately, many of us are too afraid to make changes in life - to upgrade our current situations and follow our passions - even when we know deep down that we’re not actually happy with where we’re currently at.
If there’s any part of you that knows you’d like to change something in your life - big or small - this podcast is for you.
Thank you for spending part of your journey we call “life” with me, in these episodes.
I appreciate you.

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of manifestation, exploring how you can use it to transform your life and create positive change. 🌟
Join me as we unveil the secrets to effective manifestation and discuss why it works for some people or situations but not others. Whether you're a manifestation novice or looking to level up your skills, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical tips to help you harness the power of manifestation. ⚡️
🔑 Key Takeaway 1: Manifestation starts with a deep and genuine desire. Discover what you truly want in life and focus on how it will make you feel, rather than just visualizing it. This emotional connection is key to successful manifestation.
🔑 Key Takeaway 2: Our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs shape our reality. What we focus on the most is what we attract into our lives. Shift your mindset from negativity to positivity, and align your thoughts and emotions with your desired outcome.
🔑 Key Takeaway 3: Visualization is a powerful tool, but it's not enough on its own. Take action towards your goals, make aligned choices, and practice patience. Manifestation is a journey and managing expectations is crucial when things don't happen as quickly as desired.
Remember, you have the power to create your own reality. So tune in to the Make Life Better podcast and embark on a transformative journey of manifestation. 🌈✨

Have you ever said something in an emotional state that you regretted later?
Do you find yourself having intrusive thoughts when you feel angry, frustrated, or sad?
If you said yes, don’t worry - it just means you’re human :)
However, there IS a way that you can WATCH those thoughts WITHOUT becoming attached to them, or acting on them.
And I promise you - it’s a life changer!
We are not our thoughts. Our thoughts are not us. And our thoughts are most often, not even true.
In this episode, I discuss a challenging situation I recently went through where I almost reacted in a negative manner to my thoughts, what I learned from that experience, and some tips for YOU to keep yourself from saying and behaving in ways while in an emotional state that you’ll regret later.
Learn how to become a watcher of your thoughts, instead of reacting to them.
Thanks for being here.

There’s a very famous quote by Viktor Frankl, a holocaust survivor, that goes like this:
“Everything can be taken from a [hu]man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.”
This quote has stayed with me for decades. Why?
Because someone who went through something so grim, still had the mindset to be
able to see that positive was still available.
We are met with challenges each and every day. Big or small. It’s our ability to bounce back from and overcome these challenges that is the number one factor that determines your ability to strive and thrive in this life.
In this episode, I talk about my own adversities that I’ve had to overcome - and tools you can use to overcome them too.
If you ever find yourself derailed by what’s happening in your life - this is an episode you won’t want to miss!

Have you ever thought, “Why am I unhappy?”
There are a lot of unhappy people in this world. Maybe you’re one of them.
Maybe you’re just not as happy as you’d like to be. Or even you feel that way only sometimes.
Either way, I think this conversation provides a lot of inspired insight into why that is.
After watching a reel on Instagram, I got super inspired to share these thoughts with you about why so many people are unhappy. AND of course, how you can start to change that with just one simple shift in how you go about your day.
I’m excited to hear what comes up for you as you listen. Please share your thoughts with me over on Instagram @KandisJames.kj

Accepting Change and Letting Go....
Humans are funny creatures, in that we often know that change is NEEDED in our life... yet we are too scared to actually make the change. In some cases, we are not even conscious that we're too afraid, we just come up with a ton of excuses why it's not possible.
- Have you ever stayed in a painful romantic relationship longer than you should have, because you were afraid of what life MIGHT look like when you left?
- Have you ever stayed at a job that was crushing your soul, just because you were scared you wouldn't be able to find something else?
- Have you ever avoided a difficult situation with someone, because you were scared how it would make them feel? But then NOT having that conversation has made the relationship worse?
Change, whatever that may look like in that moment, is often the only way to really make life better - and yet, so many of us never actually make that change.
In Today's episode, we discuss:
- The neuroscientific reason that we fear change (even when we know it's good for us)
- How your subconscious mind thinks it's keeping you "Safe" when it's actually keeping you "stuck"
- How to move more confidently through change and actually accept it and learn to appreciate it

How many times have you heard, "THE PAST IS THE PAST"?
Here's the thing... the past IS the past. And that has two different meanings.
a) The past is the past, we can't do anything about it, so let's keep moving on
b) The past is the past, and the person you are today and the life you live is based on everything that has happened, everything you've experienced in the past which means the past is in part creating your present which creates your future :)
So what does this mean?
Every situation you've experienced in the past is shaping how you see the world, and who you are within it. Sometimes this is a good thing, like you're super confident and believe you can do anything, so you accomplish amazing things.
Or...
Perhaps you have difficulties staying committed in relationships and end up hurting others (and getting hurt) in romantic relationships frequently. You want a life partner, but something always seems to shift when it gets serious.
You struggle to be vulnerable with those close to you, and that's preventing you from having close friends you can talk to and lean on - making you feel alone/lonely.
You get angry easily, or find yourself lashing out at those close to you and feel regretful about it later.
These are not simply 'personality traits' as some people will call them. Rather, they are defense mechanisms that your subconscious has created for you in an attempt to keep you safe, or out of harm's way.
In this episode, learn how to identify how your past is affecting your present, and how we can start to reprogram your subconscious to let go of these negative behaviour patterns so you can finally be free to live your best life.

It’s that time of year again, to reflect back on the previous year, and wow - what a doozie!
My third near-death experience, among other things, have given me a lot to reflect on this past year. It taught me some incredible lessons and pushed me towards a path in life that finally feels truly authentic.
I’ve lost friends, I’ve gained friends. I’ve learned how to deal with a life-threatening long-term health diagnosis. I’ve been reminded time and time again of the power of the tools I teach to my clients (and use myself) when it comes to getting through challenging times. But most of all, I’ve gained clarity on what’s truly important in life.
As I’m sharing these lessons that I’ve learned, I’m asking you to reflect on how these lessons can be used in your life too. That is why I’m sharing them, after all. Because through shared experiences we can grow ourselves, too.
So please, as you’re listening and reflecting on how these lessons can be your lessons too, find me on Instagram and let me know what resonates most with you. Which lessons did you need to hear today? @kandisjames.kj
-
My Life Lessons from 2022:
- Life doesn’t always go as planned
- Things could always be worse
- Your mind is truly a powerful tool
- Always listen to your inner wisdom
- Ask for help
Of course, I go into much more detail about each one inside the podcast.
AND I share a poem I wrote right after getting out of the hospital this past August. #vulnerablemoment
Thanks for being here - I look forward to hearing your takeaways!
Xo, Kandis
P.S. For those of you that notice these types of things, YES I did say in the intro of the podcast that there would be 6 lessons, and then only shared 5. Apologies in advance for confusing your brain :)

Why do you have so many negative thoughts in your mind?
How can you stop those negative thoughts?
If you’re like most people, you often find yourself stuck in negative thought loops - thoughts of worry, stress, anxiety, fear, self-doubt and even anger, resentment or regret.
If this is you, rest assured - it’s completely normal!
However, it’s also pretty annoying, right?
These thoughts can prevent us from feeling happy, enjoying life to the fullest, and can wreak havoc on your relationships, career, self-esteem and so much more.
In this training you’re going to learn:
- The biological reason WHY we have so many negative thoughts
- What these negative thoughts are doing to your body (Hint: They’re NOT making you healthier)
- Tools you can use to stop those negative thoughts
- How you can literally rewire your brain to experience more calm, joy and inner peace on demand
Thanks for joining!

Sometimes Life Sucks. Right? Life can be hard.
Something happens to you or in the world around you, and you can’t help but think, ‘Man, this sucks!’ or ‘Why is life so difficult all the time?’
Perhaps something crappy has happened to you in your life recently - you are going through a difficult breakup or in a bad relationship, you’ve been diagnosed with a chronic or even fatal disease, you’ve lost your job, or you’re struggling to make ends meet as inflation continues to rise.
Life can be full of challenges. And at times it’s very common to think “Life Sucks”.
I was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and there was a part of me that immediately thought, “Life Sucks”.
Thankfully, however, I understand the difference between “life” and our “life situation”. It our life situation that can suck - not life itself. And that’s exactly what I’ll explain inside this podcast.
In this podcast you’ll learn:
- The difference between “life” and our “life situation” that when understood is the key to living a joyful life no matter what is going on around you
- Why focusing on the constant change, or impermanence of life, will actually help you get through your most challenging times
- The beliefs that you learned as a child are still affecting your current reality
- How to harness the power of your mind to create a better life for yourself
- How to choose a new path amidst challenging times to bring yourself to new levels of joy
At the end of the episode, I’ve got an epic question for you. Make sure you find me on Instagram @KandisJames.KJ and let me know your answer to it!
See you on the inside!
Xo, Kandis
Have you ever found yourself ruminating on something you regret doing?
What about not being able to stop thinking about how someone wronged you?
Perhaps you've been stuck in a thought loop about all the bad things that could possibly happen in the future?
This is called overthinking.
Why "over"thinking? Because thinking about these things all day doesn't actually change the situation. In fact, the only thing it DOES do, is change YOUR emotions. (and not for the better).
If you've ever struggled with overthinking, you can listen here to learn from my own most recent struggle with overthinking, how I overcame it quickly - and how you can reclaim control over your thoughts to overcome overthinking and create peace of mind even amidst the most challenging times.

August 13, 2022 is a day I’ll always remember.
Around 3:30am, I called 911 and ordered an ambulance to my house. A couple hours later I was riding a thin line between life and death. I spent many hours in the emergency room followed by days in the ICU before being released from the hospital with a diagnosis that meant my life would quite literally never be the same.
Now, three weeks later I reflect on everything that happened and the lessons I’ve learned that will not only help ME live my own best life… but that can help YOU do the same.
I’d love to hear what comes up for you as you listen to these life lessons and how they relate to where you’re at in life right now. Hit me up on Instagram @KandisJames.KJ and let me know!
NOTE: For anyone triggered by talking about illness, hospitals or symptoms, you can skip forward to 11:22 to hear the outcome (spoiler alert: I'm alive!) and the lessons that have come up so far.
So, today my car got broken into. And by broken into I mean someone cute the soft top of my convertible.
Within a few minutes I felt a rainbow of emotions from anger to compassion.
And then I chose which emotion I was going to bring with me into the rest of the day. And I chose compassion and gratitude.
Some people told me I should be angry. Some other people I spoke to were angrier about it than I was.
I wasn’t happy that it happened… I love that car. But I also chose to accept it as if I’d chosen it. And that made all the difference.
–
In this episode, I’ll discuss with you:
• The key to accepting negative situations as if you’d chosen them (so you can get over them faster)
• How I was able to bring my emotional state back to the calm (despite knowing a large bill $$ was coming my way to fix the damage)
• How I use the 6 Mind Traps to assess the situation and move on quickly
• Ways that you too can learn to cope with negative life events with more ease

HOLY WOW - In this episode, I got an intuitive reading from Jen Conger - where she tapped into one of my past lives where I was a map maker in 1800s London. Whhhhat??
--
If this sounds exciting - LISTEN NOW.
If this sounds WEIRD - Listen Now.
Years ago Jen offered to read cards for me and a group of our friends/coaching colleagues. She was able to bring me the confidence, guidance and direction I needed to move forward in my biz in a way that felt exciting and light - and this reading is what got me actually writing my book (instead of just thinking about writing it).
Jen is incredibly gifted, and you won’t fully understand the power of what she does until you listen to her speak, and give me a reading live on the show!
Plus, during this epic conversation, Jen shares with us:
--
• The importance of intuition when it comes to creating your dream life or business
• How YOU'RE ALWAYS RECEIVING INTUITION - but most people don’t know how to use it
• Ways you can tap into your intuition NOW
• The power of intuition when it comes to all areas of your life - but particularly when uncovering your purpose & living your dreams
--
THEN, take a screenshot of you listening to this podcast, post it on Instagram and tag Jen and I to let us know your thoughts and takeaways after listening. @jenconger … @kandisjames.kj

Have you ever felt like the odd one out?
Like the odd ball in your family, group of friends or around your colleagues?
Questioned whether you actually fit in?
Perhaps felt like the proverbial Black Sheep amongst a flock of white sheep?
Well I’ve got news for you…
- You’re not odd, you DO fit in, and you’re NO black sheep… You’re a Mother Bleepin’ UNICORN!!!
- And you always were.
- In this podcast episode I had the honour and privilege to host my dear friend Akeisha DeBaat, owner and founder of the brand new clothing line, You Always Were.
- Akeisha and I go waaaaay back to January 2019 where we met at a Business By Design event in Laguna Beach, California and formed an instant energetic connection. Since then we have worked together in many capacities, including ME being asked to be the ARTIST for this brand new design that she has just released.
- Talk about making two dreams come true at once!
- In this episode, you’ll hear us chatting about:
• How to stay happy and motivated especially on the days when things don’t seem to be going your way.
• The benefits of a constructive breakdown
• What it means to be the UNICORN instead of the black sheep
• The story behind the clothing creation and our collaboration
• How to tap into CHOICE to create your best life
• The limitless possibilities that we all hold at our fingertips
This podcast episode is extra special because while we are most definitely celebrating Akeisha’s next big venture… we are ALSO celebrating mine! She reached out to me just 7 weeks after I declared to the universe that I wanted to be a PAID ARTIST. And BOOM it happened.
So this episode is truly about the power of possibility, manifestation, clarity and abundance. -

Want to start living your very best life?
I'm accepting limited one-on-one clients to accelerate you into your very best life THIS YEAR!
Have you ever just been going about your day, and someone says something to you that immediately makes your blood boil?
Perhaps you feel hurt, sad, angry or confused. Perhaps you feel a wild combination of all of those things as once!
You feel the heat rise in your body, and you're unsure if you'll scream at them or cry.
Perhaps you say something back, perhaps you don't.
But either way it weighs heavily on you for hours, days or sometimes even weeks. The hurt and anger just can't seem to dissipate.
I know how this feels, because I've been there. It's hard to understand how or why someone would say those things to you.
But the longer we sit in those feelings, the longer we allow those words to hurt us.
And thankfully, WE have the POWER to CHOOSE to not have those things hurt us anymore. With the right tools, you can learn how to bounce back with hours or even minutes of someone pissing you off or hurting your feelings.
**In this episode I'll share with you the 6 steps I use to bounce back quickly when words have angered or hurt me.
Let me know what resonates with you. How will you put these steps into practice in the future? Is there a time in the recent past that you now see how these steps would have improved your day/week/month/life?

Have you ever waited so long for something in your life to happen - and then when it finally did, it wasn’t anything like you expected it would be?
Did you think that x, y or z would make you happy… But it never did?
Did you ever yearn to be FREE of someone or something (a job, place, house) so that you could FINALLY be happy, or do that thing you always wanted? But then... when you WERE free of that someone or something... you still didn't get what you'd been dreaming of?
In today’s episode we’re talking about what it actually means to be FREE to create a life you love - a life of joy, freedom, love and excitement.
We're talking about the important question: What does it take to actually be happy in life? -In this episode we will discuss:
• How to overcome the fear of judgement so you can do what you really want
• The importance of standing up for yourself, your beliefs, and what you want in this life
• How to finally be YOU in every sense of the word
• What it means to have freedom FOR instead of FROM (key point to creating your best life)
• Plus, the meaning behind my “freedom” tattoo on my hand.

It was so unlike me...
When I looked through my list that I keep of potential podcast episodes to record an episode last week, not one of the 25 ideas I keep in a notepad sparked even the tiniest bit of joy or interest in me.
Part of me just wanted to go to bed. **I was feeling tired, lacking energy, hopeful yet apprehensive about the future at the same time.
And I thought… there are probably a lot of people who have also felt this way over the last two years.
--
So instead of going to bed, I decided to record a podcast about:**
• How we are affected by the global collective energy
• Why so many of us have been feeling uninspired, uncreative, and unable to focus
• What to do when we recognize that we are being affected
• How to recreate a more helpful or useful energy instead
• How we can approach and deal with those around who do not share our views
• Ways to encourage peace and unity instead of hate, fear and division

This is one of the best conversations I've had all year.
Sonika worked in her family's textile company when Covid hit in 2020 and her business came to a stand still just like many other businesses all over the world. A couple of months into the pandemic, she realized there was going to be no movement in her industry and she had a minimum of 6 months straight with nothing to work on.
That is when she decided to follow her heart which was full of curiosity about what it would be like to be an artist. Once a fun weekend pastime, Sonika now has a thriving art business creating and teaching resin art to a global audience.
In this podcast we discuss:
• The importance of trying new things to know how to create your best life
• Overcoming your insecurities and fears to do what you want no matter what
• The power of FEELING into what we truly want in this life so that the universe will help you get what/where we want
• The power of alignment and authenticity to turn life from a struggle to flow
• How to be open to new experiences to create your best life
• How to know when to quit and when to keep going
You can find Sonika on Instagram @immersed.in.art - Be sure to send her a message and let her know what you found inspiring about this episode, and check out her beautiful art!

The mind is a wildly powerful place. And if we're not careful, the mind will use us instead of us using the mind.
Our mind can take us on this runaway train of thoughts, ideas and beliefs that may not always be helpful. In fact, most of the time they're not. Our mind is the number one thing preventing us from creating and living our dream life. It's the number one thing holding us back from becoming the person we truly want to be, actually living the life we dream of instead of dreaming it.
And it all comes down to harnessing the immense power of our mind. In this episode, you'll learn:
- How the mind is holding you back from living your best life
- What steps you can do to start training your mind now to allow you to achieve your goals
- The secret to finally living your dream life

Fear is the number one thing that's holding you back from actually getting out there and living the best version of your life - even if you think you're fearless.
In this episode I'm going to list out the top ways in which fear is holding you back from living living your best life.
See, we often see fear as a reality - something that's true, real - when in fact, fear is a belief. It's a belief that something now or in the future could cause you harm. And so when we start to look at what our actual fears, are they warranted is it actually causing us danger? Or for the most part, we have created a mental story, a program in our mind, a belief that is telling us that this is bad, scary, we must retreat, etc.
And in actuality, there's nothing to fear.
So today, we're going to be talking about:
- The nine ways fear is holding you back (whether you're aware or not)
- How to reframe your fear so you can move forward
- Steps to change your relationship with fear so you can reach success - whatever that means to you

Welcome to the YOLO Revolution Podcast!
Before we begin… Ask yourself, “If today was the last day before you die, would you be okay with that?”
Have you done all the things you've wanted?
Or are you still waiting for someday or one day to do that thing - change your job, start a business, go back to school, move, travel, tell that person how you feel? Are you still waiting for one day or someday to finally feel happy and joyful each and every day?
You only live once.
Do you want to get to the end of your life never having done what you truly desire? Never having become your greatest self? Felt your own worth and purpose from the inside out? Creating joy on demand each and every day?
You only live once.
It’s a statement you might have heard before. And it’s true.
We don’t know what happens when we die. Tomorrow may never come. Right now - this present moment - is all we have control over.
If you continue to push your dreams and desires aside, there may never be a time to make them a reality.
Right NOW is the time to start making a change. It is never too late.
So join me inside this podcast as we talk about:
- How living your life knowing you can die at any moment is the number one way to create your best life.
- Steps you can take to start creating your own best life today.
- The opportunity and possibility waiting around the corner for you when you learn how to find it.

Have you ever wanted or dreamt about doing something in life, or making changes, but you never seem to actually take the steps toward getting it done?
Has it felt overwhelming? Impossible? Scary?
You know where you want to go, but when it comes to actually taking action, you feel STUCK?
If your answer is yes, then…
It’s time to GET UNSTUCK!
As a follow up to the last two episodes - visualizing your dream life & asking yourself the 5 most important questions to get yourself there - in this new episode we will go over:
- How to overcome the two biggest things that are keeping most people stuck, even when they have a clear vision of where they want to go/be
- How to use your feelings of overwhelm and fear to propel you forward instead of keeping you stuck
- The most effective way to stay unstuck for good so you can finally take the steps you need to create the life you want
Have you ever thought of a dream or a goal that you wanted to get done?
Maybe you don’t have the time to start right away and so you keep telling yourself,
“One day I’m going to do it”, or “Someday I’ll make time for this.”
But these days never end up coming, do they?
Ten or fifteen years have gone by, and you just wake up and realize that you’ve just been ‘getting by’ for so long now. You’ve become complacent in your life - it is what it is.
And the longer we are in a complacent state, the more difficult it feels to get out.
The good news is… it’s not as difficult as we think it is if we just jump into the driver’s seat.
And that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about in today’s brand new episode.
- The significance of checking in with yourself regularly to ensure you’re not wasting years of your life
- The three key ingredients you need to create the life you love
- The most important questions that you need to ask yourself if you actually want to achieve your dreams
For many, the words “dream life” can feel grandiose, unrealistic or even ‘impossible’.
What comes up for you when I ask, “What is your dream life?”
In other words… What goes through your mind whenever time slows down or when you’re having a rough day?
What is it that you wish you could do if money or social constructs weren’t an issue?
Do you want to pursue a new career? Buy a house or a car?
Travel the world? Or just simply wake up each and every day looking forward to the day ahead?
Whatever it is,LET YOURSELF DREAM.
In today’s episode that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about.
- What does it actually mean to live the life of your dreams?
- How can you make it possible to live your dreams this year?
- How can you set yourself up for success when it comes to creating and living your dream life?
Do you frequently think about your purpose in life?
Are you feeling overwhelmed because everyone else seems to have their whole life figured out, and you don’t?
Are you often stressed out pursuing things that you’re supposed to do, and not those that will make you happier?
You’re not alone.
One year ago, Brenda reached out to me, crying, feeling stuck, helpless, and unfulfilled with so much going on in her head - so lost as to where to go next.
And today, Brenda will be joining us for this special two-part podcast series where she will be taking us on a journey to how she found her own purpose in life.
Join us as we look back on how she went from insecure and unsure to confident and moving towards her dreams each day. Listen as she tells how she started living a life that lights her up from the inside, creating major life changes, and what has transpired for her for during the past twelve months after participating in the Live Your Dreams program.
Today’s episode highlights
- My guest will talk about what can be possible for you when you have the tools and know the right steps to take that action and finally live your dreams
- How Brenda discovered her purpose in life
- The biggest takeaways from Live Your Dreams that will show you what can become possible for YOU too!
Are you ready to....
Getting inspired?
Learn what it actually takes to create a life you love?
Take action toward creating your best life?
In this special two-part series we will be hearing some amazing stories from these incredible people who were once trapped and feeling stuck in their life, and learn how they turned their life around to finally live the life they’d been dreaming of.
Joining me in this episode is one of my students from the Live Your Dreams program.
1 year after Reet took part in Live Your Dreams, we’re catching up live this podcast episode where Reet will take you on her journey from feeling stuck, overwhelmed and ultimately living life through a foggy lens of negative emotions on many days, to feeling full of joy, purpose and fulfillment.
Today’s episode highlights
- My guest will walk you through the incredible transformation she experienced in just a few weeks inside Live Your Dreams to go from people pleaser to living her best life on her own terms.
- We’ll learn what has shifted for her to finally allow her to shine as her true self and radiate a confidence she previously didn’t know existed for her.
- How Reet completely changed her life in just 6 weeks - including a move across the country with her and her family.
- The biggest takeaways from Live Your Dreams that will show you what can become possible for YOU too!
If you need some motivation, or if you feel like you’re stuck in your comfort zone, or unsure where to go next in life, then this episode is the wakeup call for you.
On that note, I’ll leave you with a quote from former student and Live Your Dreams alumni, Reet German.
**“When you’re feeling stuck, don’t stay stuck... ask for help.”

In this episode we’ll talk about the NUMBER ONE THING HOLDING YOU BACK from anything and everything you want in this life - the biggest, baddest, scariest F WORD you ever did see.
FEAR
We’ll talk about all the surprising ways that fear manifests in our lives, how it’s holding you back from what you truly want, and of course - how to deal with it so you can move forward and create a life you love from the inside out.
In this episode, you’ll:
- See how your own mind is responsible not just for the F word - but for holding you back
- Learn the surprising ways that fear manifests in many areas of your life
- Discover how to take back control and move through fear so you can finally achieve your dreams
- Realize how to move past challenges and do more than just survive in this life - Learn how to thrive!
We all feel more confident when we have our best friends by our side - that support, that love, that hype that they give us. Everything becomes easier when we have them by our side, wouldn’t you agree?
Unfortunately, we can’t bring our BFFs everywhere we go. Sometimes we have to face the world ‘alone’.
So what if I told you that you can learn to be your OWN best friend - so that feeling of support, love and hype follows you wherever you go - no matter what?
In this episode, you’ll:
- Discover how to become your own BFF (Best Friend Forever) so you can feel more confident and able to follow your dreams
- Learn how to shift your negative self-talk to positive encouragement so you can feel better about yourself each and every day
- Understand why being your own best friend is an integral part of creating a life you love waking up to each morning
Are you the creator of your own life? Or are you victim of circumstance?
In other words, do you make life happen FOR you? Or do you sit around let it happen TO you?
Do you believe that what you truly want for is possible or you? Or do you let go of your dreams because you feel overwhelmed, full of self-doubt, fear, anxiety or worry? ?
For many of us, we feel like we have very little choice in what happens in our life. But that’s simply not true. In this episode you’ll learn how we have far more choices within our life than we realize. And it’s these newfound choices that can move us closer to our dream life or further away from it.
On this podcast you will learn:
- How crucial our choices are in our lives
- How to become the creator of your life instead of being trapped by it
- The difference between real blocks in our live vs. excuses made out of fear
- The importance of choosing to get out of our comfort zones
Even the small things that we tend to dismiss can bring us closer to our goals and live life to the fullest.
In this episode, I discuss the importance of these small steps and its effect in our lives as a whole. I will share how I discovered these small steps that helped me realize my goals and at the same time enjoy my life, in hopes that this could also turn your life around.
Covered in this episode:
- How to take small steps to get massive results
- Clearly defining your goals really helps taking the small steps to get there
- What it takes to reach your short or long terms goals with every small step.
Inspired by a client, in this episode I talk about when we need to “feel the feels” and when do we need to “just stay positive” and push through?
Positivity is a great tool or skill to have in this world but sometimes it does more harm than good. We have emotions for a reason, and knowing when to acknowledge them fully is key to ‘success’ in our lives.
Covered in this episode:
- Acknowledging our emotions and their role in our lives
- Coping with things that are outside your control
- Why situations are neither positive nor negative - and what that means for your life
- Learning to allow our emotions to take us over - but on our terms.
Letting things go…
It's arguably the most important and one of the most difficult things for humans to do.
We become attached to ideas, expectations, people, places, things… and to ‘let it go’ can seem very difficult.
Perhaps we've been met with trauma or people have treated us poorly - how do we just ‘let it go’?
It's easier said than done, isn't it?
Yet, when we hold on to these things, they're taking up space in our lives that we could be using for bigger, better things. Holding onto things that no longer serve us keeps us from growing and moving forward to create a life that lights us up inside each and every day.
Which is why it's so important to learn to let it go.
And yet... so many people struggle to let things go.
That's why I'm sharing with you in today's episode, my three-step process for letting things go with more ease.
You will:
- understand and recognize your attachments and what needs to be let go of
- learn to use my 3-step process to let go with more ease
- find more space in your life to do the things that really matter
Feeling trapped or stuck in your current life?
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, full of fear or worry about what lays ahead?
Find yourself frequently thinking about the worst case scenario?
You're not alone. But you also don't have to stay that way.
Chances are, you’re stuck in what I like to call “mindtraps”. As the name suggests, these are traps within that mind (a.k.a. thought loops) that keep us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and/or anxious.
In this episode we’ll discuss what these mindtraps are, and how they not only fill us with overwhelm, anxiety, and worry - but they inhibit us from reaching our goals, hopes and dreams.And of course, you'll learn how to recognize when you're IN one of these mindtraps so you can get yourself OUT and move forward!
Our mind - just like any muscle - can be taught and trained. Understanding these behaviours helps us acknowledge the power of our minds in our daily lives.
COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:
- The 6 major mind traps that are holding you back
- How knowing the traps can free your mind to reach your goals and potential
- Learn how to take back control of your life, so you can choose to hold yourself back- or choose to live your life to the fullest!
In Episode 007, I talked about my own experience with anxiety, and the long-term goals or 'treatment' to get rid of anxiety once and for all (okay, get rid of it most of the time).
In this episode, I'm giving you the 5 tools I use IN THE MOMENT when I do experience anxiety. Anxiety can feel scary, and these tools will help bring you out of the anxious moment back to balance faster. The more you use them the faster the process will be!
5 Tools to Handle Anxiety in the Moment:
1. Notice & allow it
2. Describe something
3. MOVE!
4. Acknowledge it
5. Know that it will pass
Of course, I go into much more detail on all of them in the episode - see you there!
"Manifestation" is a common word these days, but what does it even mean?
I'm no expert on the topic, but I DO manifest a lot in my life.
Up until recently, I found it easy to manifest what I considered 'small things' in life - but I struggled manifesting bigger things.
That is, until I recently saw evidence in my own life of EXACTLY HOW I was able to manifest things - and perhaps more importantly what was holding me back from experience manifestation success in the past.
Plus, we'll talk about how manifestation has a place in our every day lives, and how you can start creating a better life TODAY with these incredible tips.
In this episode:
- The Key Most People are Missing for Successful Manifestation
- Why Our Energy Vibrations are Important at ALL TIMES
- How to Shift Your Energy from a Low-Vibe energy (attracting low-vibe people and things) to a High-Vibe energy to Attract More Abundance, Love, and Ease in Life
When I learned that my anxiety was being created by my own mind... I realized that I had the power to UNCREATE it too!
And that was the beginning of the end of my struggles with debilitating anxiety.
I went from feeling anxious and on the verge of a panic attack at almost every moment of every day - to experiencing that level of anxiety maybe once or twice a year.
If you want to learn the secrets to how I overcame and manage my anxiety, TUNE IN!
Covered in this episode:
- The Root Cause of Anxiety
- How Anxiety Escalates (and how to de-escalate it)
- The Importance of Challenging Your Thoughts
- Secrets to Overcoming Anxiety and Panic Attacks
With everything going on in the world right now, it's no wonder so many of us are experiencing a roller coaster of emotions each and every day.
It's important to properly release these emotions, but since we've been brought up in a culture that encourages us to push down our emotions and act as if we're always okay, most of us don't actually know how to effectively nurture and dissipate our emotions.
In this episode we discuss:
- The importance of actually feeling and responding to our emotions instead of pushing them further down
- How to release "negative" emotions so we can feel lighter, more joyful, and all around better each and every day
- The healing power of a Constructive Breakdown and the exact steps you can take to facilitate your own
F*** 2020!
Bring on 2021!
In today's episode we're talking about:
- How you're doing yourself a huge disservice being angry at 2020
- The 7 biggest lessons that 2020 taught us
- Why New Year's Resolutions suck, and what you can do instead
Happy New Moment, everyone!
