I just had to get Elizabeth back on the show to bust more myths about weight gain, especially concerning aging. It all comes down to people making excuses or in other words, choosing REASONS over RESULTS. We can tell many stories about why you feel your body is different. You have unique tastes, preferences, and variances in DNA, but ultimately, that may account for 20% (at most) of the differences. So, where does the remaining 80% of your body composition stem from? Lifestyle choices, baby! Eli...

In today’s solo episode, I do a fun take on all the things we should do if we want to sink the relation-SHIP. The best way to solve any disaster is prevention. Just like in health, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure; it is no different in relationships. In business, it is called reverse engineering. In medicine, it is called functional medicine. In psychology, it is called inversion thinking. So, I will coin my own phrase related to relationship woes; “A drop in expectations is wort...

As someone who drinks a lot of decaf coffee, it is important to know I am only ingesting quality ingredients when I drink, especially my coffee. Drinking coffee is a ritual I want to continue doing, which is why I decided to seek out the truth. Chad Polski is the owner of Blue Spruce Decaf Coffee Co., and his passion is roasting organic arabica, chemical-free decaf coffee. As a young Dad, working full time and doing ‘all the things’ Chad noticed his anxiety was peaking. He also realized that his...

As a special celebration of my 100th recording of I Think, I Can, I couldn’t think of a more suitable guest than Melanie. She truly embodied the idea of I think…Thus, I Can. Melanie has been my most powerful mentor to date regarding women’s emotional intelligence, business mindset, and setting powerful standards on placing value on Self. As a mentee of hers, I can honestly say she has changed my life in incredibly meaningful ways. I now pass this same knowledge on to my own clients, and so the r...

I am so excited to have John Gray back for a second time on my podcast! In today’s episode, I ask Dr. Gray to define the terms masculine and feminine energy and the importance of balancing these energy types between couples. I further inquired about his views on why marriages are not being maintained and divorce rates continue to soar. We also discuss what couples should concentrate on to build and maintain a closer connection. John Gray is the author of the most well-known and trusted relations...

Conflict is inevitable in any relationship. In fact, if you don’t have conflict, I would question the integrity of the relationship. Conflict means passion and a zest for life. However, when couples experience conflict, they often feel they are failing or doing something wrong. In this episode, I dissect the most common areas of communication breakdown and the analogies of what it takes to create success in your business to bring in some good examples of strong communication and leadership skill...

I had a great interview with Cassie Howard, a well-known intuitive business strategist and money mentor (Yes, please). In this podcast episode, you will get to know Cassie more on a personal level and not just another business coach. What attracted me the most to Cassie is that she believes in you as a client; that is, you can be, do, and have anything you want and need right now, and you can experience it in your own way. She strongly advocates for work ethic, staying power, taking big, bold mo...

Choosing your partner for life? Hello!! It can be arguably the most important decision of your lifetime. Who will be my lifelong partner? How do I know that for certain?

That is all we can do. So, if I can understand a topic further, whether that is how to invest my money best or choose the best electric knife...

Today, I discuss what to do when you feel triggered in relationships. As children, we learn through patterning thoughts, leading to patterned outcomes. This makes us feel very comfortable because patterning leads to certainty. One plus one equals two. We know what to expect, so it removes any discomfort. As kids, we were also told to stop crying and were distracted in order to be happy, mainly because our parents wanted us to be happy so that they could be happy. Then life happens, and we realiz...

I began my dark night of the soul over 1.5 years ago when I decided to give meditation a real go. I started listening to guided meditations and then sat contemplating each morning. My morning spiritual practice has varied, but it all comes back to deep reflection and going deeper within me. I now help my clients do the same because of the tremendous joy and peace it has brought to me. In today’s episode, I speak with a like-minded soul who has also made her passion for helping others once she he...

Despite everyone from Oprah, your Gramma, and your daughter’s kindergarten teacher claiming how we need to love ourselves more, it is very apparent in my practice that we as a society have a lot of work to do around this topic. Many still beat themselves up because they feel terrible for doing the wrong thing. The bottom line is that nothing will change unless you practice forgiveness for yourself and others. You will be caught up in anger and resentment for a long time. The key to a joyful and ...

If there is one thing that has really made a difference in many people’s lives, it is me telling them that ‘You get to be you’. So many of my clients struggle with shame and guilt because they feel that they are not doing enough or being enough. Whether it is in how you run your business, your personal relationships, and even in your parenting style, being authentic and genuine in how you show up is so important. This is called being in alignment, and this is what the human design profiling syst...

Originally this was a live done on Facebook, but I felt it needed to become an episode so that everyone may feel less stressed in a world that often feels overwhelming – especially regarding personal development. Truth be told, self-growth and self-awareness develop through daily practice. What are you doing on a daily basis to grow, learn, and attain a higher sense of emotional intelligence? Little changes bring about big results. In the episode, I speak a lot about my favorite topics: Self-awa...

I had the privilege to interview a past client, Noordeep Kaur, whom I worked with to uncouple from both a physically and emotionally abusive marriage and show up for herself, her daughter, and her lineage in a way that will have a rippling effect in her East Indian culture as a whole. We get deep into her transformational journey from self-doubt to self-empowerment. The journey never ends, but it gets to be a journey of self-love and acceptance of who you as at the core of your human evolution. ...

Today I share my experience and what I have seen with my clients regarding our belief systems, what it truly means to believe, questioning what it means to believe, and showing up in a way that speaks to our true conviction on a topic. I also dive into what it truly feels like to trust your gut instincts and intuition and how important it is to practice this skill. For example, we always play with fear and intuition but often do not even know that this is what we are doing. How difficult it is t...

In late July I did several Instagram Lives, which topics ranged from relationships, taking ownership of your behavior, what it truly means to be humble, and much more. Also, I announced my signature offer; a transformational journey to freedom of mind! Doesn’t that sound yummy? Most of my clients strive for peace of mind and freedom of choice, so I created this 12-week program. It is essentially what I led myself through in order to be more present and happier.

Instead, you will receive gentle guidance towards going within the depths of your soul, what it means to tap into intuition and wisdom, and what it means to come back into yourself.

Most people start intermittent fasting for all the wonderful health benefits that come along with it, specifically insulin sensitivity and possibly shedding weight, and reducing inflammation. But that was not my sole reason to restart IF. The sole reason was to stop my little addiction, leverage the power of my mind, and call in Spirit to assist with this.

In this episode, I talk about the importance of getting used to being uncomfortable, whether it be because of a breakup, a death, or even external factors. Being in discomfort allows you to realize I will be okay. During this discomfort, you realize that you are capable of much more than you thought, AND this benefits everyone around you.

In this episode, I get truthful about why some of us stay stuck in the ‘my life sucks’ loop. For anyone who knows me, I don’t like to sugarcoat things. In the episode, I described how this was sometimes very difficult for me to be ME as a registered psychotherapist. There is a time and place when you are meant to move on from therapy to coaching. In this episode, I try to explain when and what that looks like and for who. I believe in people’s intelligence and power and remind them of this const...

Today I remind you of the importance of caring for your ‘human’ from a physical perspective, which inevitably ties into your mental health. Dr. Nathalie Beauchamp is a chiropractor who works on your physical alignment to regulate your emotional well-being. Unless you do the deeper work of regulating your nervous system, it will be a matter of time before your body becomes physically misaligned. The only way to become truly aligned is through grounding ourselves energetically, emotionally, mental...

No one person has the same relationship dynamics as another. We can never paint everyone with the same brush; however, through sharing her story, Sarah is helping so many other women break through their personal patterned beliefs of unworthiness, guilt, shame, standards, etc. These beliefs ultimately ke...
