How To Be Awesome At Everything

The How To Be Awesome At Everything is a podcast about our journey to be the best that we can in everything we do. To be intentional about how we spend our time and how we treat our bodies and how the thoughts that we think and words that we say create the world that we live in. What started as a folder of life lessons to share with her kids one day has become a podcast with over one million downloads. Always with a growth mindset, Lindsay presents topics that she thinks are worth hitting pause on life to focus on. She shares her successes (and failures!) in business and in life and her journey to be awesome at everything.

218. How To Be Awesome At Celebrating Your People’s Micro Moments

We all celebrate birthdays and anniversaries… big accomplishments like a job promotion or winning the soccer tournament. But what about those micro wins? Those moments and accomplishments that are smaller and scale but mean just as much if not more. Focusing more on the process and the journey more than the destination and the ultimate goal. We’re talking about all the different things that happen in our lives that we could be celebrating… in ways that are so very special but also simple and eas...

How to be awesome at living with enthusiasm without fear of judgment. Whatever it is that you love or are passionate about… we’re talking about going all in - full enthusiasm with it.

216. How To Be Awesome At Your Morning Mantra

Lindsay has recently adapted a morning mantra that has been so great for her in so many ways. How bad you want it? Because that’s really what it comes down to. Whatever it is that you want to accomplish… How bad you want it are you willing to put in the hours and hours it takes to get good at something or accomplish the hard goal? Are you willing to get super uncomfortable and push through even when you want to quit? Lindsay talks about in the past… she’s tricked herself into thinking she didn’t...

215. How To Be Awesome At Party Dessert Tables

Today we’re talking about creating awesome dessert tables. We think a dessert table is the center of the party. It’s where all the yummy treats are and often the best place to take photos because it’s themed and decorated. Also, if you want to do a more simple party but still have it be themed, you could just do an awesome dessert table and focus more on the details and that’s all you need. We’re talking about dessert tables for birthday parties, holiday parties, adult parties, kids parties… all...

214. How To Be Awesome At Being A Present Mom & Also Having Your Own Identity

Today we are talking about how to be a present mom to your kids and also maintain your own identity. You know, that person you were before you had kids. There is so much to do when you have kids, it’s very easy for mom things to take up all your time. Without realizing it, it’s easy to slowly stop doing the hobbies you love or spending time your friends without your kids. We’re talking about this today because we don’t want to wake up one day and not know who we actually ARE because our entire i...

212. How To Be Awesome At Turning A Bad Day Into A Character Building Day

-Struggling SUCKS but it’s also what makes us stronger. -One of Lindsay’s favorite quotes is… Strength grows in the moments when you think you cannot go on but you keep going anyway. -It’s like how they say Billionaires kids have it the hardest.

211. How To Be Awesome At Your Mid-Year Check-In

We are exactly halfway through the year! Lindsay likes the 2nd half of the year goal setting almost more than January 1st goal setting because it gives more of a tangible deadline. It’s hard to see a whole year forward but it’s not as hard to see 6 months forward. So in this episode, we’re going a check-in. Where are we at, halfway through this year and where do we want to be at the end of the year? Asking ourselves questions like… What were your goals at the beginning of the year? Are they the ...

210. How To Be Awesome At Losing Numbing Habits

What is your go-to activity when you want to cope with a stressing situation or procrastinate on doing something hard? What do you do when you don’t want to be present in the moment? What distractions do you allow when you’re working with a task that is overwhelming or uncomfortable? Most of us spend a good chunk of our life numbed. Doing things without intention that don’t really make us feel fulfilled (even if we sort of think they do in the moment)… leaving us feeling more anxious, sad, somet...

209. How To Be Awesome At Loving Your People Hard

Do your people really KNOW how you feel about them? Like do they know how much you love them and why you love them - all of it? One of the biggest lessons learned in the last month is how important it is to LOVE YOUR PEOPLE HARD. It’s just so easy to get caught up in routine and the daily to do’s and before you know it, the day is done and it’s time to sleep then do it all over again. Sometimes that means slowing down and other times it means setting rules so you don’t miss the good stuff. Lots ...

And you can double that feeling by finding friends who become your family too. -When it comes to your health and the health of those you love, you have to always ask questions and lean into how you feel.

207. How To Be Awesome At Maximizing Your Party with a Pre or After-Party!

It’s so much fun to throw a party… especially kids parties, but one downside is that it’s SO MUCH WORK to set-up, followed by the party- lots of fun but for a relatively short period of time, followed by the clean-up. It’s really easy after it’s over to feel bummed that it’s over or wonder if all of your hard work was worth it! I have 3 hacks for this. 1. Plan so that you ENJOY the party- not work the party- I did a podcast recently on this. 2. Make sure you get all the photos and videos that yo...

206. How To Be Awesome At Not Caring About Anything That Doesn’t Affect You

Lindsay does podcast episodes often about focusing on what really matters and not letting the little things bother you… because she thinks that it is so important to realize that you have to protect your emotional health at all costs. When you go through stress and trama and drama… your body remembers it and keeps score, it takes a toll on you. So we just can’t let things in that don’t matter. ` This is of course often easier said than done so in this episode we get very clear on what matters to...

205. How To Be Awesome At Not Over-Protecting Our Kids

This podcast episode may ruffle some feathers but hear us out on this. Over-protecting our kids can be one of the worst things we can do for them. But it’s our job right - to protect our kids. Protect our kids from harm... But… this has sort of overflowed into protecting our kids from being criticized by anyone, from bad grades, from a tough teacher or coach, from being outside alone… not only do they need these experiences to learn and grow… but they also need these experiences so they don’t gr...

66% - adults say that they are unhappy. That’s 2/3 of people walking around. What!! If that’s normal - we don’t want normal- we don’t want to accept what’s normal. Today, we are taking about being different and not being afraid to do things differently. Getting out of routine. Routines can be great- but just the ones that serve us. Not the ones that we keep doing just because we’ve always done them. Lindsay says… "I always think… if I do what’s “normal” to me or just what feels normal in society...

202. How To Be Awesome At Knowing “This Is Just A Moment”

Lindsay says…”I've learned to really hold on to 5 words in many situations. And the interesting thing about it is, I use the same 5 words in difficult life moments and in the very best life moments." Those words are… this is just a moment. When it’s an amazing life experience or phase of your life, it’s the best reminder to soak it all in, feel all the feelings and really be where your feet are. Because this is just a moment and it won’t last forever. And when it’s a super challenging time of li...

200. How To Be Awesome At Getting More Done with 90% Mindset

Lindsay says... "I have to tell myself all the time - the goal here is 90%, not 100%. Which may sound backwards… in fact I want to give 110% to everything I do… but the reality is that when you shoot for 100 or 110%… you can’t get to as many things and often never actually get the things done. This feels very off brand to me, I have to be honest, but I really wanted to do this podcast because it’s something I wish I would have learned years ago. Know when it’s a project that is best with 90% eff...

Lindsay tells the story… "This past weekend as we were leaving a mother daughter luncheon, I was bending down to pickup all the things my girls had collected through the day and I looked up to see 3 moms looking at me then turn away quickly. I was like that was crazy- they were clearly talking about me… so I processed for a second and picked up the rest of my things and turned to go and the same thing happened again.

We usually think about our daily movement and calorie burn in terms of our workouts. How often we workout, what types of workouts, how intensely… but the truth is…. we burn more calories throughout the day than during our actual workout times.
