Overcoming the Motivational Triad - In this episode we discuss the motivational triad and how as humans we are designed to prioritize these three things: seek pleasure, avoid pain, conserve energy. By making these a priority it helps us stay alive, but the problem is if we're not careful it leads to a very small life. When we learn to overcome the motivational triad by doing hard things, getting out of our comfort zone, seeking growth opportunities, and more, our life opens up to us in big excit...

This is something I think all humans struggle with, but women tend to be afflicted by this issue more than men. We speak to ourselves (or think to ourselves) very negatively. We tend to be very judgemental of ourselves, criticize ourselves, and hold ourselves to an impossible standard. We treat ourselves in ways we would never treat our family members or friends. And unfortunately because we've been doing it for so long, it feels normal to us. In this episode, I discuss why we do this and how to...

One of the most exciting concepts that I have learning since becoming a life coach is my ability to increase my capacity in any given area. It is incredible to understand how mind management can be such a powerful tool that you can use it to increase your ability to handle the ups and downs of life as well as increase valuable resources in your life like time and energy that used to feel finite to me. Enjoy!

We often know where we are and where we want to get to, but we don’t always know how to get from here to there. In thought work this can look like understanding your current thoughts about a situation that you are not ok with and how they are making you feel and how they are not serving you, then deciding what you want to be thinking and believing about this situation, but then not knowing how to get yourself from what you are currently thinking to what you want to be thinking. This is where bri...

Have you ever heard the phrase “Hindsight is 20/20”? It’s describing what happens when we can look back on something and see it more clearly than when we were in the middle of it. It can be so much easier to think and feel the way we want to think and feel about something (especially hard somethings) when we are looking back at it and it’s over and resolved and typically you have some distance from it and probably even some healing. A thought work tool that I’m teaching you in the episode is cal...

Did you know that sometimes it does not matter what we are thinking? I know this is shocking coming from a life coach who teaches people every day that what you are thinking is everything and that your life is a result of your thoughts. However, there is a scenario where focusing on the thought can get you pretty stuck and I’m here to teach you about it and to give you permission to not worry about what you are thinking about sometimes. Enjoy!

We can all benefit from giving ourselves more validation and this is something I work with my clients on a lot. My favorite way to teach this concept is to teach them a two step process of first validating our own experience/feelings and then to follow it up with reassuring ourselves. It is so powerful! One common problem with this is when I encourage people to validate themselves, they can resist the concept because they are confusing it with indulging themselves. Listen to this episode to hear...

There are many ways to think about the word ownership, but in this episode I'm referring to taking ownership or responsibility for the parts of your life that are in your control and that are your creation. There are a few sneaky traps that we can fall into in this area where we accidentally categorize things that are in our control as out of our control. Also, we may not realize when we are not owning something in our lives that is our fault or our doing and when we make that shift to ownership...

One of my favorite mind management topics is understanding the difference between needs and wants and staying clear on who is responsible for what. My favorite way to illustrate this concept is the Cupcake Concept (see episode 42). In this episode we take a look at this concept again and spend a little more time understanding what needs are and what wants are and how to keep them from getting mixed up. Enjoy!

Have you ever felt really drained or stuck and didn't know why? Chances are you were experiencing a lot of resistance about something and maybe didn't even know it. You might be resisting your current reality, your emotions, the actions of others, yourself, etc. After all you can argue with reality and lose the argument...but only every time. Our brain tends to resist things that are different from our plans or expectations or things that are happening that we don't prefer or we wouldn't choose....

A very common piece of advice that we are given as military wives to get through deployment is to just "stay busy." This can be a good thing but it can also be overdone and you can use it against yourself if you're not careful. Listen to this episode where we focus on productivity and processes and less on the end result. I will also show you how to watch for what you're using to motivate yourself to be productive and to make sure you aren't trying to earn your worth by getting things done each ...

When we slow things down and step back we can see that we are almost always wanting peace to think what we're thinking, feel what we're feeling and do what we're doing and unfortunately we are often not giving ourselves that permission. One problem is we think we need to wait for permission from others, but what we really need is permission from ourselves. Listen to this episode to learn how to switch this around so that you primarily go to yourself for permission and not others. Enjoy!

Do you feel like you are frequently feeling overwhelmed or frustrated? Do you ever ask yourself what you wish you were feeling instead?

However there are a few ways to feel peace and the main one feels like the absence of chaos which is mostly not available. Listen to this episode to learn how to create a more powerful version of p...
