I was coaching a client recently on how exhausted she was because she never gets enough rest and can’t find time for herself. I gave her some coaching, and within a few weeks, she wrote me essentially saying that I needed to do a podcast on this because it had revolutionized her life. So, that’s exactly what I’m doing on this week’s episode.

It’s time we talk about celebration. If you’re thinking that the episodes about how to get along with people and how to crush your goals are important, after listening today, you’ll see why this topic is just as essential for you to hear. I see way too many people overlooking the importance of acknowledging themselves, but what I’m sharing this week will change everything.

I love to consider the idea that we can invest our time and get all kinds of different returns. We are all familiar with this concept when it comes to money, but the truth is, we can do the same with time. When you start thinking this way, so much in your life is going to change.

Join me on the podcast this week to discover the habit-building tool that tons of my clients have used to great success across a variety of areas (not just work stuff!). I’ll share how I’ve used this tool and how it’s made real, lasting change to my procrastination and perfectionism, and how you can do exactly the same!

Never experiencing failure is not an option for those of us living the human experience, so join me on the podcast this week to discover why failure doesn’t actually suck, and what you can decide to believe about it instead. I’m not saying that failure is a super-sexy fun time, but those occasions where we come up short are always the perfect opportunity to grow and do the work to make sure that things go better next time.

If you haven’t been able to create a new result in your life that you really want, it feels risky, emotionally loaded, and fraught to keep going after it. And when your experience is that even when you make changes you wind up in the same place anyway, it’s no surprise you’re feeling risk-averse. 

I see so many people stuck in self-doubt, confusion, and overwhelm about when it’s okay to leave a job. The simplest answer to this question is whenever you want to. Yes, my friends, you read that right. You don’t need a whole host of “right” reasons to quit, but there are some important questions you should consider if you’re in this place.

Understanding your experience of anxiety and how to shift it is not only useful in helping you crush your goals and love your work life but also to just keep showing up when you want to lay down on the floor and cry because life feels too hard. There’s still so much unknown in the future, but gaining some insight into why your brain might be catastrophizing and spinning out with no end in sight is going to help you cultivate some calm. 

Are you currently working on a big goal and you’re trying everything you can to bring it to life, but you’re starting to get tired and it feels like it’s never going to happen? If this is you right now, you’re in the right place. We’re talking all about how to keep moving forward when the going gets tough, but the answer might not be what you expect.

When I was laid off back in 2015, I didn’t have the coaching tools I do now and I was struggling. The five months I was unemployed included a lot of panic, anxiety, and overwhelm, and looking back, I can see exactly how I was making that time so much more painful than it needed to be. I was doing the best I could, but I’ve learned so much since then and I’m sharing everything I know so that you can skip that pain.

Do you ever experience irrational worries that your brain keeps circling back to? For me, I used to worry constantly that I was going to get fired from my corporate job, even though there were no signals that that was ever going to happen. This, my friends, is what we call confirmation bias. 

We’re all about enjoying our work and cultivating confidence in everything we do here on this show, so it’s crucial for us to unpack what’s really going on when you notice a worry come up. Our brains’ tendency to worry is hardwired into us, but with the tools I’m sharing today, you’ll be able to start creating new loops and habits that serve you better. 

One of the things I get asked about all the time is how to feel more confident at work, so this week, I’m here to give you the answers. It’s really no surprise that confidence is something that womxn especially struggle with, and the solution is actually super simple, but I’m showing you why it’s not easy work to do and why we have to make it a practice.

My goal today is to get you practicing new beliefs and thought patterns to build long-term habits that produce real results. This work is not one-and-done, and if we really want to transform any area of our life, we’ve got to replace our entrenched, long-held beliefs with new ones that serve us in getting to the life and career we dream of. 

If you’re anything like I used to be, you might be great at finding ways to improve the things in your life or work that you aren’t enjoying. Looking for continuous improvement is an amazing skill to cultivate, but this week, I’m inviting you to try on a different approach.

I’ve told myself in the past that the thing I planned couldn’t possibly be something I truly want because I have a voice in my head resisting it. But y’all, I’m glad this isn’t the case. If you’re going through this, you might feel defeated or confused right now, but don’t worry because I’m showing you why it happens and what you can do about it today. 

If you’re experiencing burnout from sitting in meetings over video, feeling like you’re not really having the true connections you might have if you met people in-person, or even if you’re just tired of seeing your own face on video, listen in this week. For so many of you, this was a huge change you were thrust into with no real practice, and so it’s no surprise if you’re at a loss for how to improve your experience. 

The sting of negative feedback can set you back on your path to creating the career of your dreams, and I know that right now, you’re probably taking it to mean that you’re failing, or that you’re behind in some way. You might think the solution is to just get better as quickly as possible, but this is actually a vicious cycle that will keep you stuck. 

The cycle of people-pleasing and its side effects will leave you deeply dissatisfied and burnt out, and so it’s time to examine these feelings closer to see how we can shift them. 

Taking the time to assess the three pre-work steps to goal setting that I’m laying out for you here will set you up for success, and you’ll be amazed at the stunning results you’ll be able to create for yourself.
