604: Slay All Day

Slay all day. I’m coining a new term: slay day. We are all capable of creating a Beyonce-style level 10 day, any day!

It’s time to get out of the middle and win the day we’re in!

Last week, I reached out to my friend Terri-Lynn and I asked if she’d be down to have a conversation about this “slay day” concept – what it takes to totally CRUSH the day you’re in, and repeat that as a pattern.

If you want to build momentum and enjoy the journey, listen in to this conversation with me and Terri-Lynn! (You can follow Terri-Lynn on Instagram here or check out her website!)

602: How to Hold Yourself Accountable

Need to hold yourself accountable? Looking to get better at following through and staying consistent? Today’s episode has the tools you need!

“Masterminds” have become super trendy in the past few years – it seems like everyone in business is starting or joining a mastermind. Undoubtedly, they can be great tools for growth.

Because of their popularity, there are a lot of components that have been identified that make masterminds work. Fortunately, we can take these components and incorporate them into our own lives, even if we aren’t part of a mastermind or group!

Today, we’ll explore those components and look at how you can use them in your own life or with a family member or friend!

The book mentioned in today’s episode is Meet & Grow Rich by Joe Vitale & Bill Hibbler

Steps to Hold Yourself Accountable

In today’s episode we explore questions, strategies and tools to assist you in building accountability. They include:

  • What do you want to gain?
  • What is your singular focus?
  • Ask yourself questions instead of giving yourself advice (Chasing Cupcakes is a great tool for questions to ask yourself)
  • Be confrontational without being emotional
  • How can you help you?
  • How can I help you?
  • Inner Counsel Meeting from Meet & Grow Rich

What will you put into practice from today’s episode?

601: No Mud No Lotus

What does “no mud no lotus” mean to you? To me, it’s a reminder that all the dark times & moments in my life can take me to a new, brighter, higher level – if I choose to let them.

My life hasn’t been easy. In fact, I’ve been deeply unhappy and hopeless for most of it. It stings a little share that. Because I’m so open about my struggles with depression and obesity, I get a lot of questions about how I came out of the struggles.

There are also a lot of people who assume that the struggles are behind me and it must be “easy” now.

In the spirit of this “no mud no lotus” theme, today I want to share with you some parts of my past struggles that I’m still practicing overcoming. We’re talking about fear of judgement from others as well as judging others. We’re talking about drama and the perspective of abundance versus the perspective of lack.
