2022/07/30

Do you ever "just don't feel like it" when it comes to a healthy habit you've committed to?We all feel this way sometimes – unmotivated, low energy, not into it, tired, bored, dragging our feet, or maybe even a little depressed. When you feel like this what do you do about it? Is there a way to get out of the low frequency energy of “I don’t want to” and do the thing anyway?

Get Comfortable with Asking for Help

2022/07/23

Do you find it uncomfortable to ask for help or support from others? This seems to be the case for many people, especially in our society. Why is it important to start getting uncomfortable and start asking for help? In this episode I explore some reasons why, but the biggest one is that asking for help makes us vulnerable. And vulnerability opens us up to an entire range of opportunities for growth, learning, and positive change.Mentioned in this episode:The Everyday Hero Manifesto - by Robin

Do you set high expectations for yourself and others that lead to disappointment, frustration or resentment? Brene Brown says that "expectations are resentments waiting to happen". Does setting expectations lead to outcomes that aren't achievable, or do they help set standards and prevent you from settling?In this episode, I share my ideas on this interesting life paradox, how you may be confusing expectations with boundaries and goals, and how letting go of expectations can actually free you to be

How to hear your inner wisdom

Create Your Best Chapter ·

2022/06/04

Being able to hear your inner voice is critical to your happiness, fulfillment and sense of purpose. External noise obscures, diminishes and overrides your inner voice if you let it. Your inner voice is a soft whisper, therefore getting comfortable with silence, learning to become friends with all of your emotions, and becoming aware that you can be in charge of your reactions is key to tuning into your inner wisdom.This is a journey -- a heart-healing journey -- that can start today.***Join my free
