#56 Create the Energy to Support Your Motivation

When it comes to energy, there’s a big difference between just thinking about something and actually doing it. Just thinking about something may give you a little burst of energy, but getting into action around your goals gives you more energy than just thinking about it. Listen to the episode if you feel like you need more energy to become the woman you want to be.

#53 A Different Way of Looking at Balance

In this episode we’re reframing the way we’ve always thought about balance. Balance isn’t about expecting everything in our lives to be equal. Instead, it’s being truly committed to the things we care most about, expecting the hard, and the good, and not always thinking the grass is greener on the other side. Listen in for deep encouragement this week if you’re struggling with balance. TED Talk mentioned here Get the show notes at: https://www.paigeschmidt.com/a-different-way-of-looking-at-balan...
