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.

298. How To Be Awesome At Becoming A 34

Ok let’s do it - what’s a 34? It’s the percentage of people who are happy and feel fulfilled in their lives. Leaving 66% of people- unhappy and unfulfilled. I love putting a number to it because it’s the best push when you’re scared. When it’s hard to start something new and risk failing… When it’s hard to say no to an event you don’t want to go to but everyone else is going… We know that what most people are doing isn’t working because the majority of people aren’t happy.

294. How To Be Awesome At Becoming Anti-Fragile

Today we are making a plan to become tougher and less fragile. Because it puts us in the drivers seat. When we take full accountability for things and we resist the urge to fall into mindless scrolling or just going with whatever everyone else is doing, we’re planning for the long game. Taking lots of small risks and trying new things and pushing yourself and getting uncomfortable - it’s all conditioning you to be tough for life. So you are mentally and physically strong when you need to me. So ...

293. How To Be Awesome At Getting Out Of Mediocre

Polls show that over half of people walking around are unhappy and I think it’s because they are stuck in mediocre. A mediocre job, what they would consider as a mediocre relationship, mediocre health, mediocre version of whatever success means to them.

290. How To Be Awesome At Course Correcting To Design A Life You Love

This is how you don’t wake up one day with a marriage where you don’t communicate or connect. This is how you don’t wake up one day unable to easily walk up a flight of stairs.. It’s called course correcting and I think it’s the answer to how we focus on little things daily to support the big things that matter most to us. It’s adjusting as we go.

289. How To Be Awesome At ACTUALLY Doing The Thing

This episode is all about sneaky procrastination! Because I think all of us in some ways trick ourselves into thinking we are doing the thing- that thing you want to do or need to do - the hard thing that will bring you growth in the way you want - whatever that thing is for you right now. And instead of actually doing the thing - we do a whole host of things like - make lists, we say we are planning, we talk about it, we do endless research on it OR we avoid it completely and go refold drawers ...

288. How To Be Awesome At Not Labeling Your Feelings Good or Bad

This concept is so freeing… ready? It’s good to feel sad, angry, stressed… because it’s part of being human. Those emotions that we tend to label as negative emotions and judge ourselves for feeling are not the problem. The actual problem is the label, not the emotion itself. And here’s the best part, the way you get through those emotions- the sadness or the stress is by not trying to feel the opposite but by simply not labeling these emotions as good or bad. When we label our emotions, if ofte...

I feel like most people would say they tired. Today, yesterday, most days. I’m really interested in this. Are we actually tired or are we sort of not excited by what we are doing most days? And if we are tired, is it because the days are too full and we are doing too many things orrrr is it because we aren’t setting ourself up to feel rested and rejuvenated.

You want to know the craziest thing about worrying what other people think of you? With the amount of time and energy you spend worrying about what people might think if you do this or that, you could actually DO the thing. You take control back of your life and your choices when you’re making them based on what you really want and what feels best to you.

281. How To Be Awesome At Weekend Adventures

280. How To Be Awesome At Mastering The Last Hour Of Your Day

The last hour of your day is so important because it determines the quality of sleep that you get and how you approach the next day. I’ve learned the most about this in my own life from doing things the wrong way to be honest. Staying up too late, eating too late or just sort of tinkering here and there and I couldn’t even tell you what I really did for those last 2 hours. All these things I did without intention and just because I was getting tired and just doing whatever slowly without a plan....

Let’s define some terms. By coming at you I mean - verbally trying to start something. It’s different than an argument because it’s like someone having a problem with you or just straight up casting judgment on you. Our instant reaction is to respond ...

Take a quick pause on what you’re doing right now to fully think about this question… what conversation should you have that you haven’t had yet? What difficult conversation have you been avoiding?

Let’s talk about failing. I’ve come to embrace failure in a way that I wish I did in years past. Because here’s the thing.. if you’re failing here and there as you go, it means you’re out there doing stuff and trying new things and learning along the way. If you tend to beat yourself when something does work… or you are super self conscious about it and worry what other people will think or say… or you stop trying the thing you were working towards- lean in here because I used to do all that and...

273. How To Be Awesome At Making Fast Decisions

First - why make fast decisions? Because a decision that you need to make that is pending takes up your time and attention. That problem you need to solve or that conversation you need to have or that project you keep procrastinating on or that email you need to send. When things are pending, there can be this feeling of anxiety or pressure or overwhelm… because it’s lingering. So if we can develop what I think is a total superpower- the ability to make fast decisions - we will move closer to ou...
