Year of Push 3.5 Win The Weekend
The weekend is here! I know that for many, the weekends are met with mixed emotions. "Yay" for less structure but "oh crap" that lack of structure can leave you feeling not-so-great about your choices. I think many people fly by the seat of their pants on the...
Year of Push 3.4 Milkshakes & 10 Point Turns
Remember back in drivers ed when you were taught the 3-point turn? You needed this skill so you could make a complete direction change in as few moves as possible. I have to ask, who picked the number 3? Is that just an average? Sometimes you can make a u-turn,...
336: How To Redefine Yourself
I would bet you have someone you admire. Maybe you admire their discipline, work ethic or attitude. I have people like that, too. And if you're like me, you might wish you were more "like them". Maybe you wish you thought like they think, act like they act, or have...
Year of Push 3.3 Pain for Progress
What a beautiful day! After weeks & weeks of rain, it's a warm, sunny week in the Boston area! After my workout today, I went for a massage. While many see massages as pampering, mine are not. My massage therapist is doing body work - she's finding problems &...

Today wasn't a normal day. I was in a funk. First, I was really tired. Second, I was just kinda unmotivated and unfocused. While I'd love to wake up motivated, focused & energized each day, I know it's not realistic. Here's what I know: my choices aren't tied to...

Year of Push 2.30 Janitors Don’t Do Medical Procedures
Let me tell you a bizarre story. I've shared before that I am terrified of needles and, for that reason, I didn't get my ears pierced until sometime in high school. But, as an awkward middle-schooler, I wanted to wear earrings like the rest of the girls. So, I was in...
Year of Push 2.29 Nothing Holdin’ Me Back
I'm listening to the song "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back" by Shawn Mendes as I write today's recap. I think it might be a new favorite song. It's really true. The only thing that ever held me back from getting out of debt was my own frivolous spending and lack of...
