One hurdle that tends to get in the way of people’s dreams, goals, and ideas is a “why bother” mindset. Whether it’s dating, making friends, getting clients, or asking for a promotion… Doing something new usually feels really scary. So why expend energy? Why risk it? Why bother? Hear how everything in your life can change with a “why not” mindset, and the power of realizing you don’t have to stay trapped thinking “why bother” forever.

Desire can be confusing because, as humans, we have brains that are able to envision and plan for our overall life satisfaction… But there’s also the in-the-moment desire to not expend energy, experience pleasure, and avoid discomfort. So what’s the secret to getting closer to your vision? Join me this week to hear the answers.

Are you sensitive to the opinions of other people? Do you find it hard to stand by your own beliefs when you encounter people with differing thoughts? If you have a sneaking suspicion that you’re susceptible to other people’s thoughts, you need official internal policies.

Explicit conversations can create so much satisfaction, delight, and alignment in all areas of your life and career. However, the reality is they’re not necessarily easy or fun.  This week, I invite you to question how your life could be dramatically improved if you were willing to have explicit conversations.

What have you been saying you’re going to do that you’re currently dragging your feet on? Whether it's starting a new business, getting a promotion, or setting boundaries with loved ones, there are two key action steps you can take to make it happen.

Most of us tend to think conflict is something we can opt out of entirely. Or at least we try to. We think that having conflict in our relationships points to a misalignment or disconnection. But what if having conflict is like pooping? What if it’s something that’s meant to happen and is actually a sign of a healthy, happy life?

Many of us go through life with a vague feeling of malaise and dissatisfaction without actually being able to identify what it is that’s troubling us. I have just the thing that will help you better understand how to create more satisfaction in your life. It’s called The Satisfaction Audit.

What would make your life and career feel more delicious and satisfying than it is right now? Maybe it’s quitting your day job. Launching a business. Learning how to show up to your relationships differently. Or making a big decision that feels scary… Whatever it is that would help you upgrade your life, you need a supportive ecosystem to allow you to do it.

We all have certain inconveniences that we would love to cut out of our lives. They can range from big to teeny tiny, or from daily to once-in-a-blue-moon. But the truth is not all inconveniences are created equal. That’s because you get to choose an inconvenience on purpose when it’s aligned with your goals, who you want to be, and what you want to create. I call this an aligned inconvenience. 

Want to get better at something but can’t get yourself to even try? You will get better faster if you can find ways to love yourself and love the thing while you do it. It all starts with getting on the metaphorical dance floor.

Do you believe that suffering is necessary in pursuit of your goals? It isn't. You just need to learn how to make things appetizing. And that’s exactly what I’m teaching in this week’s episode.

Satisfaction is not something that just happens to you.

Learn how to develop the habit of satisfaction and how to use it as fuel to achieve all your goals.

As a kid, you deserved unconditional love, unconditional positive regard, kindness, connection, softness and so much more.

If you didn’t get that from your parents, you can learn to give it to yourself now. And doing so opens up so many possibilities in your career, relationships, and more.

There’s a common misconception about authenticity that many people get trapped by: that being authentic means sharing absolutely everything about yourself with another person. There’s a balance to be found in bringing authenticity to a relationship while also keeping things just for yourself, and vice versa, and this is what we’re exploring in this week’s episode. 

You're allowed to change your mind about what's okay for you in your life. You're allowed to change your mind about what your boundaries are. You're allowed to change your mind about what kind of life you want to have or what it means to be successful. So, what might you change your mind about that would make your life 1% or 1000% more satisfying and delicious?

So many people think what they’re grappling with is a “them” thing. But as a coach who gets to go behind the scenes on my clients’ lives and careers, what I see again and again is that people are often struggling with the same things. So, what if the thing that’s keeping you up at night isn’t a uniquely you problem? What might shift for you if you realized it’s not you, it’s we?

The concept of a good fit is a powerful reframe that will help you feel more satisfied in your life and career, especially if you feel like your happiness is dependent on external circumstances. Join me on this episode to discover how to begin assessing your life through this lens so you can begin aligning yourself with what feels most like a good fit to you.

What are the actual purposes of work? Money is necessary for our basic human needs like shelter, food, and clothing. We also need money for fun things like trips and fancy dinners. But are there any other meaningful benefits you’re experiencing from your current arrangement? This week, hear why this is an incredibly powerful thought experiment to try out, and how to have a better emotional experience by applying this framework to any area of your life.

A “shitty first draft” is a term that was first coined by author Anne Lamott. It illustrates how producing a bad first draft is an important part of writing, but it’s a lesson that also relates to so many other areas of life. Hear why being willing to have bad first drafts is a vital part of creating amazing things in the world, and the antidote to the fear of sucking at something new.

We have all kinds of decisions and options available to us in life, and the truth is a lot of them have downsides. Even if there’s something you deeply desire, it’s easy to feel paralyzed by the downsides and allow those to prevent you from making a decision. This week, hear why it can be so helpful to grapple with the downsides, and how to do so without letting the potential downsides of your choice stop you in your tracks.
