EPISODE #19 ON THE PODCAST: HOW 'PLAYING BIG' HELPED ME TO FIND MY VOICE & EMBRACE MYSELF
“Playing big doesn't come from working more, pushing harder, or finding confidence. It comes from listening to the most powerful and secure part of you, not the voice of self-doubt.” ― Tara Mohr
Today's episode is inspired my one of the most transformative books I've read thus far called Playing Big: Find Your Voice, Your Mission, Your Message by Tara Mohr. Lately, I've been reminded how essential it is to play big if we want to fully express who we are on this earth to be. Many of us have been taught how to play small, and hold ourselves back from
EPISODE #18 ON THE PODCAST: THE POWER OF PATIENCE & SURRENDER
Today’s episode was inspired by lessons learned while attempting to bake my 5 year old daughter's graduation cake.

In this episode, I share a story about my buttercream disasters

EPISODE #15 ON THE PODCAST: FIND YOUR HAPPY
"There is no path to happiness. Happiness is the path "– Buddha
I recently discovered one of the most amazing books from an superly eclectic store in the Minneapolis airport called Frivolous (wonderfully unnecessary). The book I found is appropriately titled ‘Find Your Happy’, written by M.H. Clark and designed by Sarah Forster. And since discovering this book, I’ve literally read it to myself every single morning, which has been extremely transformative for me. It has become
EPISODE #14 ON THE PODCAST: BECOMING THE CEO OF YOUR LIFE
There is only one person responsible for the quality of your life. That person is YOU!! – Bob Proctor
Today I talk about why it’s so important for us to treat our lives as businesses, and how we can begin to embody our personal power by becoming the Chief Executive Officers of our lives. Thanks to an epiphany I had recently, I realized instead of striving so hard at becoming the boss of something outside of me (such as a company), I always felt
EPISODE #13 ON THE PODCAST: HOW TO CHOOSE FAITH OVER FEAR
Faith and fear both demand you believe in something you cannot see. You choose! – Bob Proctor
Today I explore the topic of how to choose faith over fear. To experience the joy in failure, I believe faith is one of the most useful tools we have at our disposable to help us overcome our fears and preserve despite the odds. I love the definition of faith in Hebrews 11:1, which states "faith is the confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see". I also love the common definition of fear which states "fear is the false evidence appearing real".
In this episode, I share why

Self-worth comes from one thing-thinking you are worthy – Wayne Dyer
Today I explore the topic of self-worth and how the act of feeling unworthiness tends to prevent us from experiencing the joy in failure.
Once upon a time, we were kids who were so sure of ourselves and so full of self-worth. Until we were conditioned to depend on circumstances and people outside of ourselves to feel whole and worthy. As adults, we continued on our quest for

Not until we are lost do we begin to find ourselves – Henry David Thoreau
