Brilliant Balance (Cherylanne Skolnicki)

So many of us are terrified of failure, and understandably so. From the beginning of our education, we’re conditioned to avoid failure by any means necessary. But what if you were able to stop seeing it as an end state, and rather a path to growth.

The fact is, you CAN recover from failure.

In this episode, I share the 3 questions to ask yourself when confronted by failure, why failure is not necessarily a bad thing, and the exact steps you need to take in order to benefit from your perceived failures.

Show highlights include:

• This is the biggest fear that most women have (3:10)
• Viewing failure this way can crush you, here’s how you can turn it around (4:22)
• This mindset shift on failure can push you forward in ways success never could (4:50)
• Asking this essential question is the first step to overcoming a failure (6:02)
• Avoid this to prevent failure from taking a toxic stranglehold on your life (7:37)
• This is the ONLY way you can make failure useful (10:38) 
• The lessons Michael Jordan’s failures can teach anyone (14:48)
• This is the worst thing you can do when recovering from failure (16:35)

Can you recall a tradition that your family had when you were younger?

Maybe it was visiting your cousins every weekend for a Sunday lunch? Or opening a single present on Christmas eve? Whatever your childhood traditions were, they undoubtedly created a sense of belonging and contributed to your shared legacy with your loved ones. 

Looking back, you might get nostalgic, but the best part is that it’s never too late to begin a new tradition or carry on an old one.

In this episode, I share my experience from our recent family reunion that’s been a tradition in our family ever since I was 18 months old. Listen in to discover why these events are so special in my heart and some tips to create your own.

Show Highlights Include:

• What spending the night at an unknown hotel with 2 giant bags of cinnamon rolls and no cell phone can show you about leaving your comfort zone (6:06)
• How shared family stories bring you closer to your loved ones and help you to reconnect with your shared legacy (9:16)
• Why texting or social media can’t replace real-life get-togethers (14:00)
• How creating small family traditions helps you connect with your loved ones on a deeper level and make memories you’ll cherish forever (15:14)

Whether it’s how you make a goal or how you're reaching them, the process can feel overwhelming and make you miserable. Then you get stuck reliving the same day over and over, spinning your wheels, resulting in the same circumstances. Don’t you deserve a better way?

In this episode, you’ll learn what to do when your life feels like Groundhog Day and how to make goals with meaningful change for you and your family.

Show highlights include:

Be honest - is there clutter accumulated in your space? Your office, home, garage or even your closet? We ALL have it!

But this clutter is insidious. Because after a while it can blend in and start to look as part of the decor  to us. So at some point instead of noticing it,  you just start to live with it.

It can also affect your inner calm/balance and even hinder you from seeing new opportunities to redesign or bring in new things into your home.

So, that clutter needs to go.

In this episode, you’ll learn actionable steps to take to clear clutter that has accumulated in your space. You’ll discover the benefits of having a clean, clear space without the piles of clutter lying about.

Listen in…

Show Highlights Include:

• The biggest causes of clutter and why we allow it to pile up. (6:53)
• How indecision about whether to get rid of or keep an item contributes to clutter. (8:58)
• The 30-year rule you can implement to help you decide if you should get rid of an item or not (or give it to people who truly need it). (14:37)
• How you can create a sense of inner peace with your environment. (16:10)
• Actionable steps you can take to start decluttering your space today. (18:34)

Conflict is something we often try to avoid. 

But that’s not something to be proud of. Want to know why?

If you’d rather be a people pleaser and ignore the things that bug you rather than face them head on - it can fester resentment and erode your relationships.

Or…

You can face the situation head on and have a courageous conversation. You can soften the conflict and move the relationship forward.

So how can you learn how to have these courageous conversations?

In this episode, I’ll show you how to avoid unproductive, emotional conflicts. I’ll give you the exact framework you can use to build conversations that lead to conflict resolution.

Listen in…

Show Highlights Include:

• The two ways you can approach conflicts (and why the second one will relieve you of emotional burden). (1:39)
• Why approaching conflicts with raging emotions resolves nothing (and an alternate way to handle conflicts that leads to resolution). (9:48) 
• A framework you can follow to hold conversations that lead to healthy conflict resolution. (18:25)
• Why it is important to shift into ‘listener' mode after airing your frustrations. (22:24)

Have you ever been called “superwoman” and felt a burst of pride in your ability to get everything and anything done? But realize later that the feeling was overrated?

While considering yourself a “superwoman” gives you a short-lived rush, it also burdens you with heavy and unrealistic expectations.

These unrealistic expectations can riddle you with guilt. It can feel like you’re failing at your job.  But you’re not. Because doing everything is not your job. 

Here’s the truth: 

When others give you the “superwoman” tag, it gradually—then suddenly—takes a toll on your career, your relationships, and your health. 

So, how do you balance your drive to overachieve with the real-world consequences of “Superwoman Syndrome.” 

In today’s episode, you’ll discover how to overcome your “Superwoman Syndrome” before it wrecks your career, relationships, and health. Plus, I reveal how to set realistic expectations so you don’t fall into the trap of overachievement.  

Listen in…

Show Highlights Include:

• The 5 unrealistic characteristics of a ‘superwoman’ (and why you must quickly act to get rid of this burdening tag). (2:35)
• 5 drastic side effects “Superwoman Syndrome” has on your health, career and relationships. (6:44)
• Why these seemingly positive compliments can reinforce traditional gender stereotypes (and over-burdens you with unequal responsibilities). (12:45)
• 3 steps you can take to break free from unrealistic expectations put on you by society. (16:52)
• Why the ‘superwoman’ tag is not a compliment (how you can start to challenge it and save yourself from a cycle of overachievement). (20:33)

You’ve probably heard the phrase “more is more.” But is that ALWAYS true?
We often feel like we should be working more, doing more and saying yes to ALL THE THINGS.
But when you try to do everything, you lose focus. You feel like you’re pulled in a thousand directions.

In this episode, you’ll hear how saying no strategically can give you the opportunity to shine AND a little room to breathe.

Show highlights include:
- The counter-intuitive question to ask yourself when you don’t have enough time to get everything done. (5:10)
- When you say no, make sure you don’t enter this cycle (or else you might commit to the wrong things). (7:15)
- How to know exactly when to trim your to do list AND when you can safely commit to doing something extra. (10:40)
- If you want to be good at something, you need to say no more often. Here’s why. (16:00)

With more people working from home, you would think productivity would skyrocket. There is less time being wasted on things like commuting, and that should leave more time for work and family, right?

Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case. Instead, work expands to fill so much of the available time which leads to more hours spent working, and less productivity.

In this episode, I discuss why spending less time at work can make you more efficient and how non-work activities can improve your work and family life.

Show highlights include:

• Why spending time away from work and family makes you a better employee, spouse, and parent (6:12)
• The surprising reason “wasting time” can be the most productive thing you do today (7:01)
• A simple step you can take today to prevent Parkinson’s Law from consuming your every waking moment (12:03)
• Why working from home is a slippery slope to working yourself too hard and what you can do immediately to help (13:28)
• How to make volunteer community service feel like play instead of a work-like obligation (18:28)
• The working mom’s secret to making household work a source of joy and family connection (21:40)

I admire working moms.

They have high standards, have high professional ambitions, and are highly talented. Even though they have incredibly demanding work and family lives, they also have very high standards about showing up at home for their kids.

But there are things that no one really knows about them. The general public has somehow arrived at a lot of inaccurate conclusions about them.

And sadly, this is a theme I see across the collective of women I work with.

So I’m going to share a few things with you today about how working moms approach and go through life. All while keeping their high standard of showing up for their kids and maintaining their professional careers and ambitions.

In this episode, you’ll discover 5 secrets working moms want you to know. You’ll learn what you can do to help them feel seen and understood!

Listen in…

Show Highlights Include:

• 5 truths you should know about working moms (that might completely change how you view them). (2:22)
• What working moms really think about juggling work and home responsibilities. (3:12)
• How working moms contribute financially to their household (and why it’s not how you think). (5:37)
• Why working moms are very strict with their time (even with the things they enjoy). (7:59) 
• The best thing to do if you want to help a working mom. (12:29)
• How general labels strip these women of their identities (and how they really want to be seen) (17:10)

Don’t you just love those days when everything just seems to fall into place? The moments that make you feel strong, powerful and unstoppable. These days, although sometimes unexpected, don’t just happen by accident.

If you want to create more of them in your life, you need to understand what makes them so good in the first place. And then put that on repeat.

One of the key reasons for a good day? It starts with feeling good about yourself. And you always feel good when you love what you’re wearing.

Have you experienced the feeling of achieving your personal, professional, and financial goals… yet still feeling dissatisfied? We often get stuck in our “zone of excellence”, collecting achievements and rewards that don’t speak to the core of who we really are.

However, we stay there because it’s comfortable and relatively easy, and we avoid moving into the “zone of genius”, where our true passions lay.

In this episode, bestselling author Gay Hendricks and I discuss, why your zone of genius is key to unlocking brilliant balance in your life, why we don’t allow ourselves to be happy (and how to fix it), and how to increase the amount of luck in your life.

Gay Hendricks is the author of The Big Leap, a book that reveals a simple yet comprehensive program for overcoming our one barrier to happiness and fulfillment, providing a clear path for achieving our true potential and attaining not only financial success but also success in love and life. His latest book, Conscious Luck, reveals eight ways to change your fortunes through the power of intention. Gay has appeared on more than 500 radio and television shows, including Oprah, CNN, CNBC, 48 HOURS and others.

Show highlights include:

• Why we avoid hanging out in our “zone of genius” and how that holds us back (4:25)
• The surprising way compassion can prevent you from achieving your goals (8:04)
• How to effectively get your message across without using words (9:52)
• Why intellectual genius prevents you from living a well-rounded life (12:54)
• The number one explanation given for failed relationships (and how you can avoid it) (15:35)
• The counterintuitive reason we don’t allow ourselves to be happy (17:16)
• Why your “zone of excellence” is a potential-destroying trap (23:42)
• Research-backed methods to increase the amount of luck in your life (27:48)
• Why a traffic jam can be your greatest opportunity for personal growth (33:10)

I’ve spent a LOT of time talking to women in midlife, women who have to constantly re-balance the competing demands of their professional lives and family responsibilities to make room for some FUN.

And a sad little secret of this life stage is that a lot of us don’t actually like our lives very much. We’ve done all the things that are supposed to deliver us to the ‘promised land’. We have the careers, the homes, the cars, the families. But we feel like we’re not quite there yet.

And it can feel like we’ll never get there.

So how are you supposed to take the pieces of your life and rearrange them into one you actually enjoy living?

There’s one simple way you can start.

And that’s by building a better day.

In this episode, I’ll share with you a few ideas on how to start creating a life you love by building one great day at a time. You’ll learn how to string together these ideas to design a life you truly like.

Listen in…

Show Highlights Include:

• The best place to start to create a life you actually like. (3:03)
• 5 ideas you can use to start creating a better life by building a great day. (4:22)

Whether it’s choosing a restaurant for dinner or deciding to move across the country for a job, we face decisions on a daily basis. And sometimes those decisions can feel so overwhelming, you’d rather not make them at all.

But the decision-making process is far more important than the decision itself. And if you spend your time continuously going over the best possible choice, nothing will ever get done. 

By making decisions daily, you’ll feel confident, have more family time, and get closer to your goals. 

In this episode, you’ll learn how to become a better decision-maker and why it’s essential for living your best life today.

Show highlights include:

• Using the law of inertia to make quicker, more confident decisions (no matter how stuck you feel) (4:37)
• How to counteract the ‘five horsemen’ of the decision-making apocalypse and take action daily (9:25)
• The four steps to getting rid of ‘decision paralysis’ and making a choice you feel confident with (even if you don’t know the outcome yet) (16:15)
• How to use decision-making daily for more time, confidence, and freedom (24:22)

We’ve all been there...trapped in a conversation we can’t get out of. You want to say no, but you worry about letting someone down and you suddenly find yourself saying yes.

An inability to say no shows up in many ways. It’s one of the issues at the heart of the imbalance many women carry around. Getting into a habit of always saying yes will lead to a pattern of overestimating our capacity.

Learning to say no with confidence and grace will have even more benefits than you can imagine!

Highlights:

- The underlying causes of our inability to say no (3:00)
- Why you need a process to get to a clear yes or no (4:50)
- Why we worry about saying no (8:00)
- A simple script for how to say no with grace, confidence, and kindness (10:45)
- What you need to avoid doing, after saying no (18:23)
- Why the script matters (20:25)

Our culture has embraced entrepreneurship in a truly positive way. Back in the 90’s, entrepreneurship wasn’t a popular career path - unless your parents were entrepreneurial and you were stepping into their family business.
Now, it seems the idea of starting your own business is the best way to establish balance, flexibility, and freedom between work and family.
But as you’re going to discover today, entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone.
Today, we’re talking about entrepreneurship and specifically how it relates to working mothers. I want to paint a realistic picture, and show you three things that make entrepreneurship an incredibly attractive path for many working moms...and a big mistake for others.

Here Are The Highlights:
- Three things you have full control over as an entrepreneur (6:40)
- Your connection to purpose and why your work matters (8:30)
- Proceed with caution: The three ‘deal breakers’ of entrepreneurship (10:30)
- Should YOU be an entrepreneur? (14:45)

It turns out the most important conversations are the ones we have with ourselves.

But if you’re not mindful, the discussion in your head can turn into “chatter”. That’s when your self-talk goes sideways and turns into endless anxiety-provoking worry. It’s the dark side of our inner voice that can poison our relationships, health, and well-being.

So how can you notice when your self-talk turns into chatter? Is there a way to stop the mental hamster wheel?

My guest, award-winning professor, and writer, Ethan Kross is here to help us find out. He spent years examining the voice that speaks inside our heads. Tune in as he explains why it’s there and reveals how you can learn to rely on it rather than being broken by it. 

Show Highlights Include

• The sneaky way the voice in your head sucks the light out of your days (and how to spot it before you get sucked into a worry loop) (5:50)
• 3 unintended ways the chatter in your head manifests in your life (7:59)
• The Chatter Advisor’s Blueprint to helping friends through the chatter in a progressive way (before it poisons your relationship) (10:41)
• The “Distant Self-Talk” approach to easing mental chatter if you have no one to talk to (18:27)
• How “mental time traveling” helps you move on when you find yourself stuck in anxiety (19:43)
• The weird way cleaning your house helps you quiet the voice in your head (21:04)

So many of us want to be more productive. 

Because most of us live in a chronic state of affairs in which we have too much to do and not enough time to do it. Staring down our never-ending list makes us feel like we’ll never catch a break…we’re just destined to run on this treadmill forever. 

Worse, we think when we finally get this never ending list done, only then will we have time for ourselves. Time to pursue new goals, find time to rest, and finally be the person we want to be.

You don’t have to WAIT to clear your list to do ANY of those things, but finding some ease with our to do list just feels GOOD. And I have one big idea for you that will help a ton.

In this episode, I’ll reveal my single best productivity tip for getting things done. 

Listen in…

Show Highlights Include:

• My number one tip you can apply to be more productive (and how it drives accountability to ourselves and others). (04:23)
• How this tip can help you stick to your exercise routine (even if you struggle with consistency) (07:57)
• How the technique helps you master elusive habits and complete projects (even the ones without a deadline) (09:16)
• Why this tip works so efficiently (and how it stops you avoid losing hours pointlessly) (12:26)

Your hard work can be hard on others.

When we are excessively stressed, it can easily spillover from work into family life. It affects how we interact with people - especially those closest to us - EVEN if we don’t see it.

The truth is, whenever we start to fall out of balance, we think we can hide it. We think no one will notice. But more often than not, it’s us, ourselves, who are the last to spot when we’re overloaded.

In today’s show, we’re going to cover some helpful strategies to identify when you’re overworked so you can get back into a state of balance and be present with those closest to you.

Here Are The Highlights:
- A scarily subtle sign you’re dangerously overworked (4:45)
- How to stop over-committing yourself and what to ask before saying ‘yes’ (7:35)
- A mindful check-in practice for being present (8:10)
- Why no news does not mean good news (9:00)
- Making adjustments to your responsibilities (12:50)
- The key to open and honest relationships with those you love (13:30)

We are faced with hundreds of decisions every day, and take most of them for granted because they are automatic.

But every once in a while we get hung up on a small decision. This may not seem like such a big deal, but it is. Dragging your feet on small decisions is distracting you and stopping you from making moves on the important things in your life.

In this episode, I discuss the 3 phases of effective decision-making, how great leaders make decisions, and a process for overcoming common obstacles women face when making decisions.

Show highlights include:

• Why agonizing over insignificant decisions can be putting your entire life on hold without you even realizing it (4:10)
• The highly effective leaders secret for making consistently good decisions without relying on luck (6:19)
• How the best leaders make use of “re-do loops” to get the outcome they want from decisions (and how you can do the same) (12:17)
• 3 reasons women hesitate to make the decisions they know they need to (14:50)
• Why making a decision is not the end of the process and how to adjust for a bad decision (18:13)

You can be at the top of your career, successful, and great at what you do, and at the same time feel unsatisfied.

There’s a time that comes when success is no longer enough. You could have achieved everything you’d ever dreamed of, accumulating wealth and accolades along the way, and it still may not be enough to satisfy you. You’ll feel there’s something more you could be doing.

Why?

If you’re not making the impact you know you could be making on your family, yourself, and the world in general - despite the weight of your success, it could leave a bland taste in your mouth.

So when you get to that point, what do you do? How do you pivot and transition successfully into a career that allows you to create impact? How can you seek the life of significance that you crave?

That’s what my guest today, Traci Barrett, will help us answer.

Traci is one of the co-founders of HGTV, and was involved in it right from the start, long before it exploded. She’s a published author, speaker and a coach. She’s worked in corporate America and has been a part of multiple successful startups, all while being an involved and present parent. 

In this episode, Traci shares her core message about how to seek and find a life of significance using her own experience, in which she walked out of  a very high paying job, and leveraged her existing skills to build a successful business.

Traci reveals how you can recognize when it’s time to slow down when you’re spread too thin, the best things to prioritize when choosing a career or building a business, and how to choose your next fulfilling path the right way.

Listen in…

Show Highlights Include:

• This mindset trick every entrepreneur should adopt in order to be successful.(16:02)
• How to recognize when it’s time to slow down at your career/business. (17:00)
• How Traci leveraged her existing skills to build a successful consulting business (and how you can do it too). (22:40)
• Why money and prestige is simply not enough, and what to prioritize in your career to ensure you feel successful and content no matter how much you make. (26:40)
• An actionable tip you can implement today to help you make the right choice on the next step to take in your career. (32:58)

Here Are The Highlights:

Sometimes, no matter how much we love what we do, there’s this little voice at the back of our minds that triggers our mom guilt.

And the reason for it is because we can’t be everywhere at once. We’re stuck in that place between what we WANT to do and what we NEED to do.

Sound familiar?

The good news is… it’s all fixable!

And today, I’m going to show you how to have three conversations: with yourself, your helpers and your children… to transform mom guilt into something useful so you can finally reach your full potential instead of playing it small.

Show highlights:
- The biggest reason why your guilt gets triggered… and how to prevent it from taking over your actions. (4:23)
- Why you should always label your emotions as accurately as you can. (And what happens when you don’t.) (5:33)
- The one emotion we mistake for guilt all the time. (7:40)
- When your guilt is just "calendar conflict” and how to fix it. (9:59)
- The deadly cycle of “No, I got it” and why it prevents you from being brilliant. (10:40)
- Do THIS and transform your feeling of guilt into a feeling of gratitude. (11:39)
- Why it’s impossible to be “wonder woman” all the time and why it’s O.K. that you’re not. (And yes, your kids WILL understand it!) (16:46)

And if you feel like you’ve being pulled in a thousand directions, hop over to http://brilliantbalance.net/have-it-all to download your free Rebalancing Toolkit. You’ll learn how to design an optimized week that let’s you feel like you have it all.

Are you ready to be brilliant?

Laundry, unwashed dishes, meal plan for the week, work, medical appointments, and so much more. Being a mom comes with a seemingly endless to-do list.

And you’re not only staring down a busy schedule – you're also carrying around a mental list of decisions, reminders, and things you need to do. With so much to take care of, you can find yourself in constant overwhelm. 

If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. 

Today, you’ll learn a powerful framework to tackle the mental load of motherhood. Listen in to get out from under that mental overwhelm and ease the cognitive burden that comes with raising a family.

Show highlights include:

• How to apply the “Anticipate, Identity, Decide and Monitor Approach” to save yourself from overthinking (3:18)
• How making a 5-second decision becomes an emotional burden ( and how to break free) (5:02)
• A powerful framework that helps you pinpoint where you can offload some things in overwhelming situations (9:05)

When you make big changes, whether in your business or your personal life, you may face feelings of fear, anxiety, or even inadequacy. 

When these feelings come up, you might see that as a “sign” that you were never meant to have those goals instead of seeing them for what they are: resistance.

In today’s episode, I’m discussing the four main types of resistance that you may face, how to recognize them, and how to move through these challenges to tackle your goals!

Show highlights include:

• Are you holding yourself to the same standards you set for others? (3:40)

Fear and excitement actually FEEL very much the same in your body. Butterflies in your stomach, shortness of breath or your heart beating faster...you know the drill.

In today’s episode, you’re going to learn a practical exercise for harnessing the flip side of fear - a foolproof how-to method to instantly shift your energy from fear to excitement so you can keep moving forward!

You might be a perfectionist if…

You’re restless and discontent with anything that is incomplete, operating at over-capacity and running yourself ragged to get things just the way you like them.

Or you might start LOTS of projects and never finish them. Or you might work REALLY hard to get people to like you.

It turns out there’s not just one kind of perfectionist, but nearly all the faces of perfectionism cause the person exhibiting them to be labeled negatively.

The truth is: perfectionism has gotten a bad rap.

But what if we can own our perfectionism and reframe it as an integral part of our personality. And what if we can even transform that perfectionism into a powerful force?

In this episode, I interview the brilliant Katherine Morgan Schafler, a seasoned therapist who has worked with ambitious perfectionistic women for years. She enlightens us about the different types of perfectionism, and how to own our perfectionism and harness it as the powerful force it is.

Listen in…

Show Highlights Include:

• Why perfectionists feel disappointed by imperfection (and how you can be a healthy perfectionist) (8:54)
• The biggest misconception about perfectionism (and what perfectionism really is). (14:26)
• The 5 perfectionist types (and the pros and cons of each). (22:31)
• Why this category of perfectionists should endeavor to manage their perfectionism (and what happens when they don’t.) (27:37)
• How to accept your perfectionism and channel it to produce real power (and why not everyone can be one). (31:55)

The whole world has been abuzz about one movie for the past several weeks.

Barbie.

My entire team has been talking to me about it, my friends have been chattering about it, and my kids couldn’t wait to see it, so I finally got myself to a theater to see what the hype was about!

And it was a beautifully produced, impressive movie.

I wasn’t necessarily blown away in the theater, but after breaking it down more “book club style” with a few people, I realized Greta Gerwig (the director) is a genius. The level of sophistication with which she threaded important messages into this movie was next level.

Today I’ll reveal three insights I picked up from the Barbie movie. See if they help you out here in the real world.

Listen in…

Show Highlights Include:

• The striking similarity between Barbie’s growth and the evolution of women over the years. (6:18)
• America Ferrera’s exceptional monologue (and how it encapsulates the struggles of the average woman in today’s society) (7:47)
• How you might make the mistake of giving away agency and control over your life (and Barbie’s advice on how to seize it back). (9:43)
• A priceless resource you can use to navigate difficult areas in your life and leverage to accelerate your progress. (14:54)
• How the Barbie movie brilliantly uses satire to pass across these hidden messages and analogies. (16:38)

Neediness is often regarded as negative.

But why?

We’re brought up learning to take care of other people’s needs, and by adulthood we’re often skilled at it. But when it comes to voicing our own needs, we become ashamed of speaking up and out.

The truth is, if you don’t communicate your needs so they can be met, you’ll never be satisfied.

And you’ll keep living in a state of low-grade dissatisfaction or even resentment. 

But what if you could acknowledge and communicate your needs so you can get them fulfilled?

To help you with that, I invited Mara Glatzel, an intuitive coach, writer and podcast host to join us today. She teaches people how to embrace their own needs and how to articulate them so they have a chance of actually getting them met. 

Mara’s perspective on needs is gentle but also reorienting. It will help you if you’re someone who struggles to make your needs known by giving you permission to share them.

Listen in…

Show Highlights Include:

• The actual reason we don’t attend to our needs.. (5:32)
• How to curb and dissipate that feeling of brewing dissatisfaction (and what you do that makes you feel that way) (8:42)
• Why being called ‘needy’ says more about the other person than you. (10:40)
• How our needs and wants are actually intertwined (instead of two conflicting sets of ideas). (12:50)
• Why we’re much more skilled at meeting other people’s needs than our own (and how to create a balance so you don’t end up feeling resentful). (14:57)
• Two steps you can take to communicate your needs properly (without slinking away in shame afterwards). (21:04)
• An effective approach to handling a partner that doesn’t know how to articulate their needs (even if you’re great at it yourself). (29:05)

There’s a voice in our head…and it isn’t very nice.

Labeling us, attacking our insecurities, and constantly making us feel like we’re just not good enough..

If we let it, this negative inner dialogue can really take us under, keeping us stuck and even making us question who we truly are.

But we can change that negative dialogue to a positive one. We can start our day motivated and move through it full of energy. We can be inspired to take action on your goals.

How?

In this episode, I explain how to give that inner voice a character and quality that supports you, motivates you, and drives you to take action.

Listen in…

Show Highlights Include:

• The two types of inner dialogue that can incapacitate you (and how to recognize them). (2:00)
• How to tune into your inner voice so you can successfully shift your inner dialogue (and build your truest, wisest and most embodied self). (6:14)
• 3 inner voices you can adopt to pull yourself in a positive direction) (instead of engaging in negative inner dialogue). (7:57)
• How developing a ‘dog-voice’ can improve your mood and keep you rooted in the present. (8:04)
• The kind of inner voice you can use to provide insights for yourself to take action. (10:39)
• How being a coach to yourself can give you encouragement and motivation exactly when you need it. (13:21)

There comes a time in your life when you need to level up. It might be your health, relationships, or career..

Only you know what you need to take to the next level.

But the problem is, you might be pushing it down and resisting it without knowing.

You could even be resisting it by doing NOTHING about it. 

The truth is: everything you want is on the other side of a decision - and the actions that follow it. It all starts with one moment of clarity.

But when you do take that action, the momentum kicks in, propels you upward and you’re able to take your life to the next level.

The question is, will you?

In this episode, I’ll show you some success principles you can apply to level up effectively and how to make sure you get to that destination smoothly and without falling into any potholes.

Listen in…

Show Highlights Include:

• How your future self could be signaling you to level up (and why you should stop squashing that signal). (0:41)
• Success principles you can use to propel yourself upwards (these make the difference whether level up or stay stuck). (16:10)
• The one thing you should always invest in when leveling up (or waste thousands of valuable hours achieving nothing) (18:46)
• The right way to start your journey moving up (so you don’t get burnt out and give up too early). (20:49)
• A powerful step you can make to ensure you stay consistent through your upward journey. (23:30)

We all know what it is like to feel “crazy busy” all the time. Between work, household management, and children’s activities, you can’t even think about adding something new to your schedule. 

This level of “busy” could be causing you unforeseen health issues as well as preventing you from making positive changes for yourself and your family. 

In today’s episode I’m going to take a look at the major side effects of a busy schedule, how it might be affecting you, and ways to clear up the “clutter” in your calendar.

Show highlights include:

• How chronic stress is interpreted as danger and why your body can’t handle it (3:40)
• Why stress is damaging your marriage (6:44)
• Are you letting life pass you by? How you can slow down and experience it (9:23)
• Why thoughtless actions are running your life and how to find purpose and intention (10:40)
• How your busy schedule is robbing you of clarity and vision (11:28)
• How reflection is critical to success and why to add it to your schedule (12:38)
