As humans, we have some power, control, and sway over certain outcomes in our lives. However, powerful as we may be, there will undoubtedly be things that are outside our sphere of influence. While we often talk about how to use the power we do have to fuel the lives we want, it’s time to discuss the other side of the coin. Learn why turning to the idea of surrendering in moments of stress or frenzy can be helpful to you, and how to use this framework to create a sense of relief, calm, and comfort.

Oftentimes when we’re working towards a goal, we catch ourselves doing other non-goal-related things. Whatever your preferred flavor of distraction may be, it’s undeniable that it gives us a sense of enjoyment in our lives.

If you want to design your life with awareness and intention, move yourself closer to your goals, and find ways to achieve your dreams in a way that incorporates attraction and pleasure at the same time, listen in. Learn a framework for using your time and energy on purpose so you can allow for both distraction and attraction as you work on your goals.

As humans, we all make decisions that give us instant gratification in the moment, even if we know there will be consequences to deal with in the future. This is a super common headspace to be in, but it’s also an active choice we make. Rather than being in conflict with and feeling animosity towards your future self, this week, I’m inviting you to befriend your future self. So what’s your relationship with your future self? Are you setting them up to have a great day, week, month, year, or decade? Living in this way makes achieving your dreams a reality, so tune in this week to find out how to start developing a close friendship with your future self.

There’s this romanticized idea that other people should just know what we want and read our minds.

Join me this week to hear how refusing to use your words gets you into trouble, what happens when you build this skill, and how to begin openly communicating with the people in your life.
