Dr. Christine Li welcomes her friend and colleague Laurie Reynoldson, host of the School of Midlife podcast and a leader in supporting women through midlife transitions. Together, they dive deep into the topic of limiting beliefs—those internal barriers that hold women back from creating their best, most fulfilling lives.
Laurie Reynoldson is a sought-after podcaster, coach, speaker and the founder of the School of Midlife®. After an award-winning 20-year career as an attorney, Laurie left the law when she was on the verge of joining the partnership at a large super-regional firm, the job she’d worked her entire career to land. She knows exactly what it feels like to have everything you’ve ever thought you always wanted in life, but still feel like something is missing. Which is why she’s made it her mission to provide women with the tools, information, support and community to thrive in midlife…and skip the midlife crisis.

Timestamps:
[00:04:09] – [00:05:22]
Dr. Li encourages listeners to use mindfulness to examine their own tendencies toward comparison and perfectionism.
[00:05:22] – [00:07:05]
She explains how our lives are shaped by our beliefs—if you believe comparison is necessary, you’ll keep doing it. She highlights the trap of relying on external validation.
[00:07:05] – [00:09:51]
Dr. Li notes that comparison is random and often leads to negative self-judgment. She urges listeners to escape this cycle and focus on their own work and growth.
[00:09:51] – [00:11:24]
She suggests starting each workday with self-affirmation and notes the importance of evaluating work based on progress, not perfection or comparison.
[00:11:24] – [00:13:08]
Perfectionism is distinguished from comparison—described as a “trap” that can make work feel suffocating.
[00:13:08] – [00:16:13]
Dr. Li explains the dangers of perfectionism: it limits creativity, wastes time, and sours your mood, ultimately leading to procrastination and avoidance.
[00:16:13] – [00:17:54]
She encourages listeners to let go of fear-driven comparison and perfectionism while maintaining healthy standards and genuine care for their work.
[00:17:54] – [00:18:47]
Dr. Li reassures listeners that external feedback isn’t a judgment of self-worth and invites them to embrace a new, lighter perspective.
[00:18:47] – [00:19:41]
Closing thoughts: a wish for listener success and well-being, encouragement to ask questions, and instructions for submitting them.

I do a deep dive into the power of positive thinking in this episode and explain the importance of learning how to combat our negative self-talk which can creep in unexpectedly and somewhat frequently. Stick around! I also conducted an experiment using the power of AI with the tool that we all now have at our disposal - ChatGPT! This online AI chatbot has been trained on a massive amount of text data from the internet and can generate human-like text responses to a given prompt. I used this fascinating tool to illustrate how we can turn the negative into the positive within a minute or two. I hope you will tune in to the episode to see how the experiment turned out!

• [47:52] Rita explains what hypnosis and meditation does to put our mind in a relaxed state… giving our brains more to work with, than when we are in a conscious defensive state.

There are many people in the world who don't feel we can affect our reality. I beg to differ. I believe the way we perceive things, the way we experience things, the way we allow things to be in our lives makes a difference. There's an energy exchange when we are intentional, even when we are sitting still, even when we're not making decisions, even when we're not acting. In this episode, I'm going to discuss all my thoughts about the topic of luck, positive thinking and creative magic.
Timestamps:
• [4:33] “When we start to believe that we're lucky, we start not seeing only the dark corners of every room…”
• [6:39] Christine shares how saying aloud “I am so lucky, everything is going right for me,” really does elevate your mood.
• [8:00] Dr. Li explains when we see ourselves as being lucky, we also transform our state into one of gratitude.
• [10:38] “In that effort, and in that joy, decide that today is the day where everything will be going your way.”

Do you have a bad habit you would like to overcome once and for all? I believe most people have had the experience of struggling to change habits in some shape or form. My special guest today, Rita Black, is sharing how to reframe your relationship to your undesired habit so your brain can harness the power of the subconscious to shift past belief and habit barriers to create powerful breakthroughs that last.
Rita Black is an author, speaker and the director of Shift Hypnosis in Los Angeles. She is an expert in the psychology of weight management, the author of the bestselling book: From Fat to Thin Thinking: Unlock Your Mind for Permanent Weight Loss. Before Rita was a hypnotherapist, she was a client, using hypnosis to stop a pack-and-a-half a day smoking habit and “release” 40 pounds. It is her passion to help you with your own transformation.
Timestamps:• [3:34] Rita discusses her first hypnosis experience and remembers saying: “I don't want anybody to get in my mind… I'm a type A personality and nobody can get my mind.”
• [6:21] “It helped me change my identity and helped me change my beliefs and habits around food…”
• [9:19] “I think when we go through a shift, like an identity change, and we start taking back those parts of our lives we gave away to that other thing. We just can see how powerful our mind is.”
• [15:02] Rita talks about our brains being like a computer: “it's taking in so many bits, millions and millions of bits of information every second, and it needs a sorting device to sort of say, pay attention to this, don't pay attention, that is nonsense.”

You may remember my guest from last week’s episode, Helen Kho. She is back this week for episode 88 and we reversed roles. Helen took the interview chair and we selected the topic of anxiety, in particular anxiety about doing new things and how trying out something new before you really feel ready to do it may be the very best way to cope with your anxiety. Inside this conversation, you're also going to hear about ways to manage your worries and apprehension when it appears so you can function more easily and with more success.
Helen helps people to discover their passion and to make choices in their career and business to follow their heart. She has a master's degree in change management but decided after 15 years of optimizing company processes and implementing new systems to transition into a career as a coach and started her own business. Since then, she has helped many professionals to discover what they truly desire and help them translate that to a new career. She's a trained life coach and NLP practitioner and is passionate about personal development and helping others to make empowered choices.
Timestamps:• [4:33] Dr. Li explains how anxiety manifests for her and says “it's in my mind more than in my body…”
• [9:42] “The decision that I made was to lean into kindness towards myself, rather than self abuse…”
• [13:30] “We all have a part of ourselves that knows how to achieve, knows how to be calm, knows that we have enough to start…”
• [37:57] “So, you get used to having a watch or being aware of how quickly time is passing, and your rate of work or your rate of functioning, how quickly can you get something done…”

I feel there are many negative stereotypes and expectations about what is involved in the aging process, especially for women. That is why I invited our special guest, Laurie Wright a.k.a. Not Your Average Grandma, on the show to talk to us about how she found true alignment personally and professionally. Listen in as she shares about the significant midlife transformations that led her to clarity and discovering her own spark and true fulfillment as well as techniques to help you past your own limiting beliefs so you can find real happiness and alignment too.
Laurie Wright, known as Not Your Average Grandma™, is the founder of the Second Half SPARK School™ and host of the Not Your Average Lives™ podcast. Her mission is to help empty nesters, who wake up most days feeling unmotivated, unexcited, and without clarity about what’s next, discover the spark they so desire so that they can live out the rest of their life being who they are meant to be and doing what brings them a deep sense of fulfillment in a way they have likely never known.
Timestamps:
• [3:52] Laurie explains how the hashtag #notyouraveragegrandma started as a joke but sparked her midlife transformation.
• [12:48] “When something really resonates, and something really intrigues you, follow it, pursue it, be more curious about it, learn more about it…”
• [17:13] We have this agreement, and that we came here with this agreement to be somebody and do something.”
• [22:25] Laurie explains SPARK, seeing where you want to go, planning it out, taking aligned action, reckoning or discovering who you really are and the kismet or faith involved in it all.

Do you have trouble keeping your word when it comes to things you're promising to yourself? What about other people? In this episode, I am talking about an important concept that so many struggle with - integrity, how it is defined, what it really means and why it seems easier to keep our promises to others than it is to ourselves. Stay tuned as I talk about the belief systems and psychology behind it all and offer you a simple process to start observing yourself more kindly and objectively so you can build towards a life of integrity.
Timestamps:• [3:12] “I've always wondered, why does this type of imbalance exist? Why should it be so much easier for me to keep my appointment with my dentist than it is to keep my appointment with cleaning out my closet?”
• [4:42] Dr. Li talks about the belief systems that need to be changed in order to live a life of integrity to ourselves.
• [5:48] Christine defines coherence… “our minds are always seeking something called coherence. And that means if we have a belief system, our mind and our body are basically primed then, to search for confirmation of that belief system.”
• [8:13] “When we feel that we're in integrity, we have a wellness that comes over our mind and body when we act in integrity with our word.”

Have you ever had the experience of knowing that you were NOT going in the right direction for yourself or for your career? Listen in as my special guest, Shelley Paxton, discusses redefining and waking up to your truth, solidifying what matters the most and creating a future that is more in alignment with who you are meant to be. Stay tuned as we discuss slowing down to meditate and listen to your body, feeling brighter, more energetic and like the most powerful version of yourself and understanding that success is something that happens from the inside out.
Think Brené Brown meets Biker Babe, with a dash of Liz Gilbert. As former Chief Marketing Officer of Harley-Davidson, Shelley Paxton found herself at the top of the proverbial mountain feeling success-EMPTY instead of success-FULL. That awakening led her on a profound Soulbbatical journey that became her mission, business, and bestselling book, Soulbbatical: A Corporate Rebel's Guide to Finding Your Best Life. She’s leading a REBELution to rewrite the script of success and liberate a billion souls. She also hosts the Rebel Souls podcast which invites you to flip the middle finger to the status quo in life, business, and the world at large.
Timestamps:• [6:14] “We're all coming out of this two year pandemic that crystallized what matters most. And now it's up to us to create going forward in a way that feels more aligned with our truth.”
• [7:22] Shelley talks about listening to our bodies because they are always telling us the truth.
• [16:59] “I'm really obsessed with this idea of successful because it really is reframing success, its success as a feeling, not as a checklist, and its success as something that happens from the inside out.”
• [19:59] Shelley explains that giving yourself the space and time to dig deep will help you find the most powerful version of yourself.

When listening to this somewhat philosophical episode, I would love for you to embrace the idea that everything in life is perpetually transitioning or transforming… and to remember in this experience of constant adjustment and pivoting, that we are agents of change all the time. To honor that thought, I thought we'd have a little bit of a conversation about manifesting what you want in your life, figuring out your relationship to your life, and to embrace the reality of change and the powerful creators of change that we are instead of denying or pushing it away.
Timestamps:
• [3:01] “We are very powerful creators of change.”
• [3:34] Dr. Li explains the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset.
• [5:28] Christine poses a challenge: If you eliminated the concept of being stuck, of having a fixed mindset, what would come through for you?

Get ready to take a good look at your life and your business because Courtney is here to teach us how to simplify them both! Listen in as she shares her personal story, how she came to understand what success meant to her, and when she realized she didn’t have to work to the degree she was in order to have success and make business and life feel effortless.

• [14:34] “Ask yourself, how would I define success for me? How do I define it for me? And that is so key because no two of us have the same definition of success…”
• [18:17] Courtney tells us that she “believes growth is about stripping away to reveal what's already there within you. The things that are written on your heart, that maybe you haven't taken the time to ask yourself these deeper questions and to ponder and to consider…”

In today’s hybrid work world where we are sometimes working via Zoom, sometimes from work, and sometimes from our home basement, it is imperative that we are on top of our communication game so we can represent ourselves well, enhance our presence, and resonate with any audience we might be in front of.
My special guest, Jane Hanson has spent over 30 years using the lessons she has learned in her broadcast journalism career to help people communicate better. You will learn lots of communication tips from Jane in this episode, which is essentially a masterclass in speaking effectively.
You’re also going to hear how Jane came to New York three decades ago to join the NBC networks. She began as an anchor and correspondent for WNBC New York. In 1988, Jane was named co-anchor of “Today in New York.” Later, she became the station’s primary anchor for local programming and the host of “Jane’s New York.” She covered events ranging from the tragedy of 9/11 to the joy of the Yankees’ victory parades to Wall Street and Washington; she has interviewed presidents, business magnates, prisoners, and celebrities and has won 9 Emmy awards as well.

• [16:45] Jane shares that the tone of your voice and the way that you are saying things makes a big difference.

Through parenting struggles and mom guilt, demands on her time, an injury and inconsistency with her health and physical training, she courageously shares with us her personal journey that helped her to realize just how important prioritizing health really was.
Dr. Angie Brown, DPT is a mom, wife, entrepreneur, coach, and physical therapist that is the founder of the Real Life Runners Training Academy and Real Life Runners podcast that she hosts alongside her husband, Kevin Brown. She loves helping busy parents run consistently without injury so they can have more energy, be strong, healthy, and fit, and be an example of what’s possible. She holds her doctorate in physical therapy, specializing in runner-specific strength and conditioning, mobility, and injury prevention for runners and also holds a certification in nutrition to help her clients integrate healthy eating to complement their training and overall health goals. She has a passion for health, wellness, food, fitness and helping to educate people on the importance of healthy lifestyle changes, in order to live an active, vibrant life, both now and as we get older.
Timestamps:• [8:23] Angie talks about not prioritizing her health and how her body caught up with her.
• [11:19] “It just was kind of this natural progression that we wanted to really create a program to help busy parents, transform from that struggling, inconsistent, like injured runner into the strong, healthy and fit runners that they want to be.”
• [14:56] Angie talks about the signals our body gives us and paying attention to them.
• [17:28] “I think it's a lot of cultural conditioning, especially for us as women that we should be self sacrificing, and that we should be devoting ourselves to help other people and kind of putting ourselves last and I see a shift happening in in today's culture, and I'm very, very grateful of that.”

Have you ever worked yourself to the point where you felt like you had really overdone things? Maybe even to the apex of landing yourself in hot water or even the hospital? If you are curious about whether your tendency to overwork or give too much of yourself is affecting you negatively, this episode is for you! My guest, Sensei Victoria Whitfield, shares a goosebump-inducing story about her own experience working herself into a dire situation, and then also shares how this event shaped her life and career. It was a major transition and we get to hear and, more importantly, learn from her journey. It's a fascinating story that involves her deep understanding of race, history, society, energy, and herself. I hope you enjoy this conversation and the powerful meditation inside.
As the world's first Business Reiki Master (TM) and hostess of the 5-star rated Journeypreneur Podcast on iTunes, Sensei Victoria Whitfield helps empathic entrepreneurs and leaders stay grounded and clear as they navigate the emotional rollercoaster of business development, by using the power of strategic meditation. Sensei Whitfield is a published author, a successful six-figure energy healer, and has toured the world showing heart-centered and growth-minded leaders how to get connected to their Natural Intuition and truly be #Visionary, so they can work less and increase their impact.
Timestamps:
• [4:09] Victoria shares “For me, to be visionary has been a lifelong journey, something that brings me out of shell. So for me personally, I've been on a long journey, managing my own energy, right and being what's called an empath, which is energy sensitive and picking up on things that have been left unsaid.”
• [6:43] Victoria speaks of her upbringing by her black Christian Minister father and white herbalist, nature queen mother… “the two of them really raised me on concepts like anything the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve like Napoleon Hill…”
• [7:07] Victoria shares a story about the day she realized she had a toxic “can do attitude.”
• [34:08] “And for those of us who are called to contribute, right, and who are in servant leadership roles, the ability to pause powerfully is essential to being resilient and having the confidence that we're headed in the right direction.”

Conversations about diversity, equity and inclusion seem to be a more frequent and familiar part of both our business and general culture. But how are actual changes and improvements in individual and group behavior going to be made?
My special guest, Christina Blacken has made a career for herself of looking at this very important question and chose a tool to do her work that is called Narrative Intelligence. In the episode, Christina teaches us all about Narrative Intelligence, her own childhood and childhood surroundings which sharpened her knowledge for story, and how stories influence people's thoughts and behavior. You will gain insight on how Christina expertly trains other people to be more aware of the stories that have influenced them, the cultures and policies they operate in, and to be more conscious about how they use their own personal influence.
Christina Blacken is a public speaker, performer, and founder of The New Quo. The New Quo is a leadership development and equity consultancy, helping leaders create equitable practices, habits, and goals through their narrative intelligence. She helps leaders identify the psychological impact of historical, cultural, and personal narratives on beliefs, bias, and behaviors to improve their bias recognition, as well as providing them with leadership tools to create more inclusive and equitable communication, goal setting, decision making, and relationship building skills.
Timestamps:
• [6:50] “So many of the things I've created in my life have always started from a pain point or a block or a barrier…”
• [8:32] Christina shares how and why she discovered that story was a big part of how people were ingesting different cultures and identities that they maybe never interacted with before.
• [11:12] Christina shares an example of “wholesale buying” of stories that influence and impact… “When there's discussions around beauty and professionalism, that straight hair is the norm. And if you don't have straight hair, you're not professional, you're not as attractive.
• [16:03] Christina explains narrative intelligence as “the ability to recognize the patterns, and the narrative tropes that are internalized within you when it comes to societal or cultural stories, and how those then affect your behavior, your thinking, your biases, and shifting them appropriately if they're in the way of your full potential because there are stories we can ingest…”

Timestamps:• [6:18] “I was actually looking at a full complex human being, and tasked with supporting them in discovering why they were getting in their own way, or, you know, helping them uncover what their passions were, what they were excited about, kind of breaking down all of the barriers of societal expectations and norms.”
• [8:40] Jen shares that even as a young child, she knew on an intuitive level that there were layers of beliefs and identities… even though she didn't possess the language for it at the time.
• [9:39] “I think we have layers for survival and acceptance.”

In this episode, I am sharing six great tricks that you can rely on to develop a smoother way of working and to keep overwhelm at bay. Feeling overwhelmed is not fun and interferes with how we see ourselves, how we see our work and how we view our future opportunities. When any of us feels overwhelmed, we are not functioning at our best. If your goal is to get past the overwhelm to restore that feeling of wellness that we all crave, then you should definitely stay tuned!
Timestamps:• [2:25] Christine shares that we are ready for creativity, growth and action when we are in a state of flow.
• [4:02] “Nothing is really that critical… Most of us are not dealing with life or death situations and issues on a day to day basis.”
• [5:24] ”When we get all caught up in being everything for everybody, and we try to make everything just so imperfect, we tend to lose sight of the fact that our brains typically have the answers that we're looking for.”
• [10:38] Dr. Li talks about giving ourselves permission to take shortcuts.

Are you striving for success, but not getting the results you've been hoping for? My special guest, Kerri Altom, has developed a great strategy and technique for getting to the root of what might be getting in your way. In this episode, you're going to hear how Kerri's work with leaders of all different varieties helped her realize that too often leaders skip the critical step of getting clear on their values, priorities and purpose. Our conversation covers the questions we need to ask ourselves to get really clear about what is important to us and what defines our sense of integrity. By the end of the episode, you will understand why integrity is something that can really anchor your work and lead you straight to the results that you want.
Kerri Altom is an award winning writer, educator and entrepreneur. As an integrity instigator, Kerri shows you how to define your values and align your life. With her signature framework, The RISE Way, she is transforming struggling entrepreneurs into impact-making profit-taking leaders of a brighter world. Kerri is also a business coach, leadership consultant and the founder and CEO of RISE Media Group
Timestamps:• [4:47] “After decades of doing that kind of work and working with a range of different kinds of leaders, I came to see these common patterns and these common struggles…”
• [8:07] “Somebody who has identified who they are, what they believe in what their core values are. And they can convey that in a way that people can relate to. It builds trust, and it builds a sense of authority.”
• [12:48] Kerri speaks of doing values exercises and visioning to go deeper into explaining who you are and what you believe in.
• [19:52] Kerri gives us a great gardening analogy about perfectionism and the fear based stories we tell ourselves, then shares how to really get to the root of the problem… not just plucking at the surface level.

What does it take to build a successful business? You’re going to find out all the details from my special guest today, who happens to be my trusted and beloved Business Coach James Wedmore. He will give you an in-depth look at how much personal development work is required for you to show up in the way you need to to have a thriving business. There is a critical component – it's actually a way of being – that will allow you to nurture your business and to see challenges and pathways that are ahead of you very clearly.
I encourage you to listen to this episode, even if you're not a business owner or an aspiring business owner, because there's so many great lessons about living a good life in this episode.
For 10 years, James Wedmore taught entrepreneurs and online business owners how to leverage the power of online video and YouTube marketing to reach more people, share their message and convert more customers. In 2016, James made a massive shift to focus on a big gap missing in the marketplace: the mindset needed for entrepreneurship. He launched a totally woo-woo podcast, the Mind Your Business Podcast and his signature program, Business By Design. Today he helps coaches, experts, content creators, and authors not only to craft better marketing messages but also how to ditch the “hustle” mentality and create success from the inside out.
Timestamps:
• [5:35] James shares his lightbulb moment that happened in 2007… and realized what he wanted to do in business and in life.
• [10:41] “We tend to spend, when we're new in business, spend more time, effort and energy in the things that are urgent, reactive, and seemingly important, but tend to actually be low value…”
• [17:36] “There are countless studies done of companies that have seen anywhere from 200 to 400% increase in productivity and output without any increase in costs, or labor or anything, simply because they made integrity, their number one core value in their company.”
• [18:43] James talks about giving your word… and making it matter. “It does matter. And we have to make it matter. Don't say you're going to do it if you're not going to do it.”

There comes a time in most podcasters' experience, where they do an episode on the resistance to doing an episode.

In this episode, I am sharing my thoughts about what to do when you don't feel ready to do anything at all.
If you are feeling not ready to take on your next project or task, I would love for you to consider some of these tips that I'm going to share with you so that you can find yourself in a new headspace one that is more inclined to take action to move yourself forward any way you can.

It is really easy to get discouraged or to even give up when we feel that our efforts are not being responded to, or even heard. So how are we supposed to pursue our big vision, dreams and plans if we don't know how to ask people for help powerfully or effectively? We are lucky today to have my special guest, Indrani Goradia, on the show. She is going to give us a powerful lesson in asking for what we need and sticking around to make sure we get the best outcomes possible for ourselves.
Indrani is the founder of RAFT, Resilience for Advocates through Foundational Training. They are focused on helping staff of sexual and domestic violence organizations to make self care a regular part of their personal and professional lives.

• [25:34] “The first thing to know about asking for help is the thing that you're asking for, is it your business to ask?”
• [34:40] “Be brave enough to make the ask and be humble enough to say thank you to the no, in the most magnanimous way.”

When I recorded this episode with my friend and special guest, Tracy Otsuka, I had a total blast.

It's safe to say that we all have some invisible dragons that we are dealing with on the regular.

Danya Douglas-Hunt is my special guest today and she is going to share with us her expertise in slaying these types of invisible dragons, the ones that threaten to hold us back. She shares so many different pieces of wisdom and advice. By the end of the episode, I think you're going to learn a lot about how to work with your intuition and your biggest plans.

And that is why I was so grateful to have DJ Stutz on this episode. DJ has an immense love for children and fully understands the challenges and concerns that come with parenting them.

In this episode, I was a guest on The Purpose Filter podcast and interviewed by Dr. Kathy Zhang who asked me the most wonderfully deep and meaningful questions about procrastination. She even wove in a discussion about how she herself is a procrastinator.
You probably think you've heard it all when it comes to procrastination, but Dr. Zhang and I took that conversation so much deeper. We not only unpack why people push off projects until the very end, but also explore the mindset, unconscious habits, identity and behaviors of a chronic procrastinator. We discussed the primary reasons why people procrastinate and how procrastination manifests as a consequence of mental clutter, fog or underlying anxiety. And I share how a strong sense of self can help "S.M.A.C.K." the procrastination habits that are keeping us from living our best lives. If you've ever pushed something off to the last minute or thought "hmm, I can finish that tomorrow", then you've landed on the right episode!
Dr. Luyi Kathy Zhang, is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at New York University, and the host of the Purpose Filter Podcast, where she shares stories and insights in inspiring interviews to help people transform their lives from the inside out. Her mission is to bring the clarity, purpose and meaning that comes with confronting our mortality to those fortunate enough not to have to…because everyone deserves to live the life they want, with the time they have left.
Timestamps:
• [3:50] I explain how I became a Procrastination Coach…
• [5:57] Dr. Zhang wants to know the deeper meaning of procrastination… beyond putting something off or delaying it.
• [14:38] I explain the S.M.A.C.K. technique which helped me set the stage for my own better functioning as a procrastinator…
• [23:11] Dr. Zhang says “I see it in myself, putting things off because I want it to be as perfect as possible because I don't want others to judge me, or feel ashamed of my performance.”

Each New Year brings with it a rush of new energy, with the world ready to start new habits and get off to a fresh start. The chance to begin again is truly a great feeling.
What can come with the New Year is also a bit of pressure — pressure to have resolutions that stick, habits that are better, and everything proceeding in perfect time. It can end up feeling like a lot of pressure.
In this episode, you will have a chance to reflect on this special time and what success really means and feels like to you. We can spend all of our time and energy chasing success on the outside, when in reality, we already know what it feels like from within. Take a few minutes with the Successful Self meditation inside this episode to envision what your successful self looks like, what your mind and body are telling you about what you want and need, and what you would like to feel in this New Year.
You might be surprised how successful you’ll feel at the end of the meditation, knowing that you can feel your most powerful self by slowing yourself down and focusing within!

So many of us suffer from people-pleasing. Why do we do this? Why do we allow the needs of others come before our own?
My thoughts on the subject are covered in this podcast episode. From conditioning as children to do things we really don't like or want to do to receive praise, attention and appreciation to not respecting ourselves and our own time enough as adults, the act of people-pleasing can be a difficult cycle to break.
Overbooked, overcommitted, and stressed out? It’s time to find the strength, the courage within you, to speak up, communicate your needs, let your expectations of yourself and others be known and set boundaries.
If you would like to learn to let go of false belief systems and create healthy connections with yourself and others that embrace and reinforce mutually respectful, beneficial, and thriving relationships, then this episode is for you!
Timestamps:
- [1:38] The habit of respecting our own time
- [3:11] People-pleasing is a difficult cycle to break
- [6:13] You will do your best when you are communicating what your needs are
- [7:56] Let’s get out of that false belief system where you feel less than others
- [11:11] It’s ironic that focusing more on yourself makes you more powerful and a change agent for others
- [12:52] Getting your mind out of a fear state, focusing more on yourself and deciding that things can only get better

Relationships can be so complicated, right? The relationship between a new parent and their own parents can be one of the most beautiful, successful, and useful bonds when it comes to the strengthening of a family -- but it can also be a fraught and confusing relationship to get right.
My special guest, Donne Davis, has spent the past 18 years exploring the joys (and tricky parts) of being a grandma while also helping thousands of other grandmas do the same for themselves. In this episode, Donne drops lots of knowledge bombs about being a grandma, navigating new relationships, aging, and living life to the fullest.
Donne is the founder of the GaGa Sisterhood, an international membership organization for enthusiastic grandmas to connect, grow, learn and share. She founded the organization in 2003 after witnessing the birth of her first granddaughter and going completely “gaga.” When she came back down to earth, she realized she was not the first grandma to feel this way or the first grandma to be challenged by today’s new parenting methods.
Her mission is to inspire grandmas to keep growing along with their children and grandchildren and to foster understanding between the generations. She coaches grandmas on how to build mutual respect, trust and empathy with the parents of their grandchildren so that they can be a unified team in raising the next generation.
Donne is the author of "When Being a Grandma Isn’t So Grand: 4 Keys to L.O.V.E. Your Grandchild’s Parents" — a practical guide for handling the most common grandparenting challenges. The book is available on Amazon. She writes and speaks about her experiences and observations of grandparenting on her award-winning blog at https://gagasisterhood.com, in her monthly newsletter, and to community organizations.

Experiencing betrayal is one of the most complex interpersonal, personal, psychological, and emotional experiences we can undergo.

Her recent Ph.D. study on how we experience betrayal made 3 groundbreaking discoveries that change how long it takes to heal.

Have you ever wondered how you could make things in life and business go much more smoothly and easily? Alison Nissen and Marcy Stoudt discovered that by joining forces in building their coaching business, Revel Coach, and in supporting each other in their individual efforts as well, they were making faster progress and having way more fun.
In this three-way conversation, you’re going to hear how the fact that Alison and Marcy are sisters has been the launching point for the supportive and fun atmosphere they promote inside Revel Coach. “Maybe I could” is the driving principle behind their company because they know that with the support of like-minded women, anything is possible. Revel Coach mentors women as they build a framework for their next steps in their career, volunteerism, or public service.
Alison and Marcy grew up in Shillington, Pennsylvania in a home nicknamed Camp Brown. They both graduated from Denison University.
Between the two of them, they’ve lived in 14 cities, 10 states, and 4 countries. They have 7 kids ranging in age from 28 and 12 and have experienced, first hand, the generosity of friends and family while experiencing complications of motherhood, military deployments, and devastating diseases of Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's, and cancer.
They've answered the question "what do you do" with titles ranging from receptionist to vice-president, author, troop leader, and professor. But by far, their favorite shared title is Mom, regardless of location and working status. They know “It’s better together.”

In 2017, after multiple hugely successful businesses, he decided to finally launch 90X®. He built the 90X® Planner System because that was the system he used to build his other businesses, and he was tired of never having everything organized and in one place.
In this episode, we’re going to dive deeper into ALoN’s story and talk about why setting up the right goal-setting system is necessary for success. We’ll also discuss the type of mindset you need to have to start creating your own version of success.

Why does showing up online cause many of us to feel afraid? Why does “showing up” seem so scary? It's vulnerability. It’s the fear of letting people see the real you. It’s that fear that keeps you from growing and transforming more fully. It’s also the fear that makes you feel like you’re getting nothing done.
In this episode, I’m going to introduce you to Kate Dramis, a copywriter and messaging coach who is obsessed with helping entrepreneurs find their voice, share their voice, and own their voice in the online space.
She has written copy for multi-6 and 7-figure launches, helping some of the top thought leaders in the online space connect, grow, and convert their audience through engaging messaging and copy. She has coached hundreds of entrepreneurs on how to create authentic, engaging copy that grows their income and impact without having to sacrifice what makes them unique.

When you get frustrated, what tends to happen?
Do you tend to run from your feelings?
Do you run from your tasks and responsibilities?
Do you abandon what you were doing?
These are normal responses to frustration. However, when we continue to stay frustrated over long periods of time, we can become caught in a cycle where we become even more frustrated because we’re not doing what we really want to be doing.
So, how do we overcome our sense of frustration so we can be productive again?
In this episode, you’ll learn about the relationship between how our emotions intersect with our mind and body, expert tips to overcome a spectrum of frustration-related emotions, and how to counter procrastination caused by frustration.

“Just be yourself!” is what everyone says, but that’s way easier said than done, right?
Getting in touch with who you are (a.k.a. your real self) can be quite the journey! For some it may be simple, but for many it can be very challenging and take many years to “figure it out.”
We know deep down we want to live as our true selves, but we also worry that we might run into difficulty if we actually do so.
You might be worried that if you show more of your true self, others won’t like you. Maybe you’re thinking, “If I show my true self, there’s no way I’ll get that job/promotion -- it just doesn’t work that way.” The reasons to keep our true self hidden often far outnumber our reasons for wanting to express ourselves more fully.
In this episode, you’ll hear from Audrey Grunst, the CEO founder and therapist at Simply Bee, a counseling and wellness center in Illinois. She created an easier way for others to learn how to find themselves through journaling with her new guided journal system, Bee You Planner. The planner is designed to help foster your personal growth, build your resilience, and help you find your true self in the process.

Building healthy habits can feel difficult; we know this all too well, and I think we can all relate!
Sometimes the habits we’re trying to build seem so challenging we think that the process has to be an “all-or-nothing” action. We start, only to get discouraged and to fall back into our old habits again. It makes us think, why do we fail? What’s the missing link? In this episode, Sarah Von Bargen teaches us that having joy in the habit change
process and celebrating our efforts instead of just our wins can help us live more intentionally and with purpose.
Sarah Von Bargen is a writer, educator, and coach who helps people spend their time, money, and energy on purpose.

‘Figure out what makes you happy!’ - Free Resource: https://www.maketimeforsuccesspodcast.com/happiness
Realizing there’s more to life than just the standard daily grind and knowing you have a greater life purpose can open up a world of possibilities. Our special guest this week, Lauren L’Amour realized this when she was finding success in her real estate career but found that she was more unhappy the further she progressed. With long hours and no time for rest, she began to realize there is more to life than meets the eye. She took on the challenge of figuring out where her feelings of dissatisfaction were coming from and how to live a life that was more in alignment with what she really wanted.
This interview is about finding your life purpose and discovering the true power of the Law of Attraction. When we begin to rewrite the stories we keep telling ourselves and build our courage and challenge our self-limiting beliefs, expansion and growth can truly begin.

Post-pandemic life: What’s it going to look like? It may be unsettling for some, it may be exciting for others. As we begin to navigate what life looks like outside of pandemic times, it’s important to remember how we’re feeling when we’re operating in situations that aren’t aligned with who we are or what we need. When we are frequently working out of alignment with ourselves, it can lead to... burnout.
Whatever the post-pandemic period looks like for you, our resilience has certainly been tested. I want you to feel proud of yourself and know that you’re doing your best. I hope that when you finish listening to this episode, you’ll be feeling a bit lighter and have some more forgiveness towards yourself for all that has transpired and in your heart.

When you begin to accept who you truly are, you begin to expand and grow. I’m not referring to the things others think you are, but you, the real you -- the you that you believe is your truest self. It’s when we begin to listen to ourselves, not others, where we begin to see the change and start understanding that we hold so much power when we stop worrying about what others think or say about us. Wondering or assuming what others want, need, and think creates a limit to who we can become as we are allowing them to take control of our thoughts, goals and how much we can truly motivate ourselves.
In this episode, Natasha Nurse speaks to us about her personal journey pushing the boundaries of her own self-belief. She teaches us how to see ourselves as being limitless and how to create impact and how to live our days without fear and judgment determining how we should get things done.
Natasha Nurse is a coach, magazine editor, licensed attorney, co-host of the WokeNFree podcast, and the founder of DressingRoom8. Her colorful life experiences led her to the area of diversity and inclusion which is one of the reasons she started DressingRoom8, a space for women who seek coaching and the opportunity to learn how to be comfortable in their own skin, physically and mentally.

Life can seem like it’s filled with challenges and not-so-colorful moments. Our past can be full of light and triumph, but also sadness or even grief. When we hold onto the moments of our lives where darkness lies, we can struggle to forgive others or ourselves which can prevent us from being who we were intended to be. When you decide that your life is going to be different moving forward, you create tremendous power within yourself.
This week, I welcome Christine M. Roberts to the podcast. Christine is a Success Coach who partners with ambitious women to do less, be more, and create their best life using her signature GROW method.

Sometimes being a people-pleaser is just NOT fun. Sure, we may get excited at the chance to help someone or work really hard to get the satisfaction of a job well done, but at what cost?
We’ve all had that dreaded feeling, having to decide between saying “yes” or saying “no” to something or someone.
You might be asking yourself, is saying “yes” really a “bad” thing? If you think about it, always saying “yes” all the time can hurt us because it can get in the way of what we really want to do, say, and be.
So, why is it so difficult to say “no?”
Why is it so difficult to be honest with ourselves when we know the answer in our hearts but we say “yes” anyway?
Why are we so afraid of letting others down?
In this episode, we’re going to explore all of these things! It can be a challenge to find yourself saying “no” because deep down, we don’t want people to be upset or disappointed. We don’t want others to think that we couldn’t be there for them, or to think that we’re mean or even selfish.
Here’s the reality, my friend. It’s not fair to you if you feel like you’re being torn in two different directions! You have the power to say what is and isn’t going to work or be beneficial for you.
When we make so many promises by saying “yes,” we become unable to show up with our full potential and to do the things we actually want to do. So, let’s explore these concepts some more and dive right in.

Figuring out who you really are and being able to be and act as the truest version of yourself can be so powerful in any and all areas of your life. When Carrie Hamm figured out living and breathing the corporate scene for over 20 years wasn’t for her anymore, she considered what she wanted to do next. As she had worked in a heavily male-dominated industry, it wasn’t until she discovered a women-only co-working space that she began to thrive. She started to notice the stark differences between working with the women she met in the co-working space, and this made her realize how different genders are raised in today’s society.
While spending more and more time working with women, she realized how much society influenced the thoughts and limits placed in the minds of girls and women. Many times we don’t express our true selves due to the influence of friend groups, family, and peers. However, when we learn how to manage how, when, and where we decide to invest our energy, that’s when our true selves begin to thrive.
In this week’s episode, I’m introducing you to Carrie Hamm, a business strategist and intuitive coach who helps entrepreneurs with a big vision to amplify their energy for massive impact and abundance. She draws on a 20+ year career in back-office software development combined with 20+ years as a Tibetan Buddhist meditator to dial in the business processes and expansive mindset needed for taking giant steps in scaling a business.

[17:23] Energy from past experiences might be holding you back, but you can still grow and transform into a new energy that will help you be the full expression of yourself.
[29:02] The smallest thing from your past could be what’s holding you back. Think about what factors are making you feel like you can’t use your full inner fire.

Imagine what your life would be like if you only greenlit your ideas. No red lights, no one telling you what you “should” do. What do you think would happen?
Shelby Stanger is no stranger to fueling her wildest ideas. A seasoned journalist and top-ranked podcaster, Shelby Stanger’s work and podcasts have been featured everywhere from The New York Times and The San Diego Union Tribune to Outside Magazine, ESPN and the cover of Apple Podcasts. Curious about her subjects and willing to go to great lengths in her research, Shelby has surfed from New Jersey to New Zealand, studied with a breath guru, fasted for six days on only water, paddled down a portion of the Amazon River, and interviewed countless CEOs, athletes, and wellness experts on assignment for major publications. With a knack for audio stories, Shelby created and sold her first podcast about adventure called Wild Ideas Worth Living to REI Co-Op in 2020 (she remains the host) and recently hosted an award-winning travel show for Lufthansa called Life Changing Places. Her latest project, Vitamin Joy, has a standout crew of guests, offering prescriptions for having more health, humor and fun in everyday lives.
In this episode, you’ll learn how Shelby was able to take her wild ideas and turn them into a catalyst to fuel her life with so many rich experiences.

We’ve all heard the phrase, “You’re your own worst critic.” Those feelings you can’t quite shake off -- the fear of judgment, embarrassment, or showing who we really are -- they stop us from growing and doing the things we want to do. But why do we believe these negative views of ourselves without question? Why can’t we accept that the things we do are “good enough?” The truth is, it’s become a habit -- and a very deeply ingrained one at that.
So often, I see people knock themselves down before even trying. It is a debilitating habit that so many of us have gotten used to doing. However, there are ways to help alleviate intense self-criticism and to start living in a state of ease, knowing we have everything we need inside of us, to succeed.
Use this episode’s tips and techniques to stop your self-criticism and pair them with this week’s featured download, the One-Page Personal Plan, to keep yourself on track to reach your goals. To access the free download now, visit this link: www.maketimeforsuccesspodcast.com/plan.

Our identity consists of who we are, the type of people we surround ourselves with, the things we enjoy, our values and beliefs, and sometimes...the things people say about us. The pressure and weight of what others think of you can be strong opponents in the process of finding your true identity. Self-doubt can creep in and stunt us further. So, how do we stop these thoughts and find our true selves? What beliefs and stories are you telling yourself that prevent you from being you and arriving at the place you want to be?
This week, Jess O’Connell speaks to us about her self-identity journey, the struggles she faced along the way, and how she was able to find herself and arrive at fulfillment and success in her work. She will teach us how she decided that no one else was going to be in control of her circumstances, and how she overcame all the negative voices in her head. You’ll hear all about the day where everything clicked for her, and how her journey officially began as a business owner.
Jess O’Connell is a Launch Coach and she helps online coaches and course creators scale their audience and influence through launching.
If you didn’t doubt yourself, or hold yourself back because of what others might think of you, what type of person do you think you would be?

We all have fears that stop us from doing, achieving, and succeeding. Even after years of training myself, I still have fears and worries just like everyone else!
I’ve learned from being a psychologist that worrying doesn’t do us a whole lot of favors, and fear doesn’t get us anywhere good. It’s not to say worry is always a bad thing -- it’s just human nature to get worried sometimes. However, we can worry too much, and that is when it starts to get in the way of our moving forward or pushing through barriers in our way.
Fear has stopped me from doing a lot of things! But I’ve learned how to manage it better over the years. I am certain that it’s something we can all push past too. Worry is normal, but when we aren’t mindful of it, it can become a habit. We become stuck in this worry wormhole and fear begins to rise to the surface, making it hard to get out.
In this episode, you’ll learn how I got out of this cycle of worry. After this episode, you’ll have a better understanding of how to make your fears more manageable and how to stop thinking small and live up to the dreams you’ve set for yourself.
Timestamps:
[5:08] Why do we worry so much?
[7:40] Worry is something that can be controlled
[12:11] Recognizing fear and understanding how it works

Feeling creative in both your work and in life is an empowering experience.

Ask yourself, “If I had the courage to be real with myself and set boundaries with my work, could I?”
We have all been in a place where our work seems to take priority over our lives or perhaps you’re currently stuck in that spot right now. When you see or hear the word “work” what do you feel? Does your body tense up? Does it make you feel uneasy?
I’ve always been the type of person to say “YES!” to everything. I remember slaving over projects constantly, never having time for myself to develop myself the way I wanted to. I thought by “doing all the things,” I would feel more fulfilled but all I really felt was exhaustion and fatigue. I realize now, I never set boundaries with my work. I never decided for myself that I have the power to say “no,” and take on the work that makes me happy.
In this week’s episode, I am joined by Susan Chiang, a watercolor artist and teacher. She’s built her business around sharing her love of watercolors with others so they can enjoy their creative processes and see improvement in their art. However, it wasn’t always like this. After leaving a draining corporate job, she decided it was time to move on as the stress and exhaustion started to take over her life and energy.
Looking back now, Susan realized things may not have gone as bad if she knew how to set boundaries at work. Susan shares with us her journey and how she created a business and lifestyle that works for her. You will also learn how to get a better understanding of how to achieve a better relationship with your work whether it’s new to you or you’re looking to take it up a notch.
Timestamps:
[17:00] - We all carry a lot of self-doubt when it comes to our work.
[19:00] - Being vulnerable can be uncomfortable but it can help you grow.
[19:28] - Find your confidence by surrounding yourself with a community that fosters your growth.
[22:18] - Your attitude towards your work should not be an all-or-nothing attitude. Be more gentle with yourself and know that progress is not measured by failure. It’s your ability to get back up when you fall behind.
[22:42] - Everyone shows up in different ways. Consistency over time will get you further than if you quit something after a few attempts.
[24:32] - The rules are yours to make and break. Adjust the rules to work with your life.

How can I use my voice to feel successful and achieve success?
“Nice girls can’t be loud.” “Women must be professional in the workplace.” “People won’t like you if you speak up.” Sound familiar?
For some time, I didn’t realize the true power a voice could have. Your voice is a precious thing, it’s almost a form of identity; it can captivate an audience, or impact whether you get a job. It can even determine whether others want to listen to what you have to say. There are a variety of factors that affect our voice over time. But sometimes, we get stuck. We’re no longer getting what we want or have the confidence in ourselves to start living how we want, on our terms, not someone else’s. So, when we truly learn how to step into our voice, our world transforms from the inside out.
My guest in this episode, Tracy Goodwin, is a voice coach. She’s an expert with over 30 years of experience in teaching others how to use their voice to “show up” and transform their lives. She’s taught hundreds of people to step into their voice power, make them sound more confident, heal their voice story, and make an impact with their voice message.
Tracy shares with us her research and her process for digging deep into the depths of the voice and the fears we hold onto, and how we can learn how to show up with our voice. She will also be sharing some awesome action items that you can implement right away for having more confidence and shatter the assumptions you might make when “showing up.”
It’s time to show up with your voice!
Timestamps:
[16:14] Judgment is just a perception. You can’t step into your voice until you embody that.
[17:55] Silence is golden. When you feel like you have to “break the silence,” what is the meaning you’re giving that silence - that you failed? Reframe that silence and get okay with it. “Get comfortable with the uncomfortable.”
[18:21] Reframe the meaning you are giving things. Nervousness exists in the past and the future. Get back to being in the now.
[20:00] Give yourself permission to stand in that power of silence.
[21:07] Train yourself to assume that everything is fine. Assume there is no threat; that you’re not going to mess up. Stand in your confidence and enjoy the moment.
[21:47] Your voice only has power in the “now.” It does not exist in the past or future. You cannot control the future but you can control the conversation. Act as if the outcome is already yours.

Podcast: Captivate the Room
Is it possible to have kids AND have a successful and fulfilling life and career? The short answer is, OF COURSE IT IS!
It’s common for women to feel a sense of unease when it comes to choosing between a career and having kids. Women may even wait a long time to even think about having kids because they want to have kids after they’ve established their career. Whatever your views are, they are all valid, but I would like to tell you it’s absolutely possible to have both and be successful.
In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Lisa Canning, a coach, entrepreneur, and mother of eight children! She is known for her involvement at HGTV but now she is also known as the Possibility Mom. Before Lisa became the Possibility Mom, she had a career in broadcast television. She managed to work season after season in the TV industry, all while growing and raising her family. However, the decisions she was making all began to wear on her mind, body, and spirit. One day she found herself in her minivan thinking how tired, exhausted, guilty and in pain she felt. After having ongoing conversations with her husband, she realized she couldn’t keep doing what she was doing.
Lisa shares her colorful journey and how she managed to create the work and home life she wanted, all while having kids and redefining what success looked like for her. In this episode, you’ll learn how to adjust and open your mind up to possibility, finding balance, and cultivating your own version of success.
Timestamps:
[18:15] Looking at your life using a bird’s eye view.
[23:19] Getting comfortable with failure.
[25:18] Becoming intentional with who you really are makes you feel more aligned and happy. It is important to understand the difference between dealing with something about your identity that you find “embarrassing” versus embracing who you really are.
[33:49] Overwhelm is often a lack of skill.

Envisioning the life you want can be daunting and can even generate self-limiting thoughts. But what if I told you that there are tools to quiet that voice inside your head and that it’s possible to have the courage to start manifesting your dream and make it reality... would you do it? Would you be open to change and to taking the actions necessary to make your vision come to life?
This episode is all about tapping (also known as EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique). Tapping is a very powerful stress relief technique. You can tap for abundance, anxiety reduction, gratitude -- there are so many possibilities to “tap” into. Tapping grants us the power to change our mindset so that we can reach for our true potential and make the goals we want to reach possible.
When I started to introduce tapping into my life I had no idea what I was in store for. I began to realize the self-limiting beliefs that held me back from doing my best. Tapping is a way to help support the positive belief in ourselves and our desire to create the future we want. I can tell you from personal experience with tapping that it is a simple, but fascinatingly powerful tool!
My guest for this episode is Melanie Moore. She is a mindset and manifestation coach who uses the power of tapping to help her clients change the trajectory of their lives. Before she got started in this line of work, she worked in the corporate world. However, once her children were born and still young, she realized she didn’t want to go back; Melanie wanted to start her own business. She always had an interest in holistic therapies, where she eventually came across tapping/EFT. Now, she’s helping her clients get clear on their vision by helping them commit to their goals by taking action and creating their dream lives through a range of different tapping techniques.
I can’t wait for you to learn more about this powerful stress relief technique. I hope it helps you gain clarity on how you want to live and how tapping can transform your life.

From managing your own life, personally and professionally, managing relationships, family, school, and giving yourself just enough time to do a workout, how do you live intentionally when you have all of these things you have to do?
Everything is a balancing act, and it can feel like you’re drowning with all these things to do. Living with less allows you to get back to being more intentional about who and what you surround yourself with and where you put your time and energy.
In this episode, I am joined by a dear friend of mine, Courtney Carver. She is an expert when it comes to bringing simplicity to all areas of your life. Through her business and community at Be More with Less, Courtney has been sharing her personal journey of simplicity with others.
However, before she started her business, Courtney’s life was go, go, go and busy all the time! Eventually, a medical diagnosis led Courtney to slow down and to reduce the stress she was living under. This made her realize that living with simplicity was exactly what she needed. In this episode, Courtney teaches us how the principles of minimalism can be applied to all areas of our lives.
We’re going to get real in this episode about how you can start living a more intentional and purposeful life, so let’s go!
Timestamps:
[9:25] - Notice and address the resistance you’re having. What can you do about it and how can you reframe it to work for your life?
[17:33] - Project 333 is a Minimalist Fashion Challenge you can do to gain peace instead of chaos in the morning; a beginner's step towards simplifying your life.
[19:22] - Life is about mindfulness and choices. We have leverage and power in how we can be open to change whether it’s in our clothes, work, time, relationships, etc.
[26:30] - Do less so you aren’t diluting your energy. Do less with high impact and do the things that truly matter to avoid burnout.
[27:12] - Do not measure your self-worth by what you did or didn’t accomplish on your daily to-do list. Your self-worth is not measured by your productivity.
[28:13] - How much time and energy are you investing in your daily activities?
[30:40] - Simplicity doesn’t change who you are as a person; it brings you back to who you truly are.

[5:00] Simplicity is key, whether you want to get rid of physical or mental clutter. When we feel disorganized, it becomes difficult to envision where we need to go or who we want to be.
[7:08] Becoming more mindful with ourselves allows us to be open to the awareness of our actions and thoughts and how we can establish power in the present moment.
[8:21] Procrastination can live in a place of fear. Finding ways to reduce our anxiety will enable us to act without fear in our hearts.
[9:58] When we don’t communicate when we need help or are too embarrassed due to shame, we become more isolated and unwilling to help our situation.
[11:20] We often speak to ourselves in a negative way that doesn’t align with our goals. Kindness to self allows us to be more gentle with how we speak about our actions and shortcomings

The first episode is FINALLY here! I am so excited that you have taken this small step on your self-development journey! This is HUGE!
First off, let me tell you...I was a procrastinator for a very long time, just like so many people. My personal journey with procrastination taught me that being a procrastinator does not define who you are. Give yourself the permission to be open to change and understand that being a procrastinator doesn’t mean you have to stay that way for the rest of your life. We simply have to find a way to unlearn the habit!
This podcast is the combination of my own personal development and my professional experience as a clinical psychologist. It’s a summary of my experience with procrastination, how I got there and how I was able to overcome it. Plus, I will be bringing many different viewpoints from experts from a variety of different fields and occupations to help you understand how you can start achieving more, wherever you’re at in your journey. I’m here to help you get things done without the overwhelm and without the little voice in your head saying that you can’t do this. Because guess what? I KNOW you can!
The structure I have for this podcast follows the A.C.E. Model and I can’t wait to tell you more about it, so be sure to give this quick episode a listen. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey, I can’t wait to see you along the way.

[4:26] My personal journey with procrastination and how I’ve been able to overcome it.
[7:33] The podcast is broken up into three components called A.C.E.
[8:00] When we are in true alignment with ourselves, our mind, body, energy, and spirit can come together towards making our goals and dreams a reality.
[9:17] Clarity is needed to guide you to your goal. When clarity is missing, we often feel overwhelmed and overworked which leads to procrastination.
[10:38] Overcoming our fears and knowing we are “good enough,” knowing our dreams can be accomplished is a powerful notion and helps us feel empowered
