Have you ever had a disagreement or gotten into an argument with someone and it was stressing and you thought about it for a while after but then, in hindsight, you realize the whole thing was really unnecessary and could have been avoided. This is the ultimate pick your battles conversation.  But it’s more than that. Even if someone insults you or pushes your buttons, if there’s no real benefit that can come from hashing it out we’re just not going to engage  And the way we are...

What if your child, this holiday season, started a project to help other kids in need? How cool would that be?! During a time when it’s naturally a lot of making lists about what you want and gifts and buying and stuff- which is all part of it, nothing negative there- but what if we shift the focus so it’s some of that but it’s also a lot of thinking about others.    In this episode I am going to walk you through how you can help guide your child so they can create their very own...

I’ve learned that the best motivator for change and growth is not motivation, it’s not in your morning routine… it’s a actually PAIN.    Pain from the past or pain that you are going through now, can be your superpower and your driver for starting the next chapter.    Maybe someone in your life told you that you’re a loser and you’ll always be a loser- you can either sit in the pain and anger of that - or you can get to work. There’s only one actual type of revenue and it’s called...

Have you ever woken up late and missed the work out you had planned? And you say something like God I always do that. I’m so mad at myself. Think about the identity that you are putting on yourself. Now take that same example and your reaction is this… Wow… That’s not like me.    I heard Ed Mylett say this, and it was such a massive lightbulb moment for me.    The first response is telling yourself - yup, that’s who you are - you can’t get your hot mess of a self up on time for the...

Now this can get tricky because a lot of times the choices that people make now this can be tricky because there’s a very fine line here, but I think it is so important to spend time on.    The whole reason that this podcast episode is absolutely essential is because we are making decisions all day long about the people we interact with and who we lead into our inner circle… and this is a very clear issue to me… But only very recently.   Since we know that it is absolutely crucial for us...

This is your wake-up call to stop doing things you don’t want to do.   Right now - think of something that you’ve done recently or have something coming up - that you didn’t want to or don’t want to do.   Now, if you reallllly think about, I bet 99% of the time, you don’t actually have to do it.  You just think you do for so many reasons like…. It will be rude if you don’t go or people might talk about you… or you can’t quit the job you don’t like because you don’t have other options… ...

We don’t get to split test life right - so we can’t see what it looks like if we take the job or start the business… or if we marry this person vs. this person… But the idea of picturing yourself at 90 years old is to me - the absolute best way to make decisions. Because it’s you as you are at 90, versus what you could have been. It’s the ultimate motivator to really figure out what fulfillment and success and happiness means to you- not what is considered the society norm or what your...

It’s that time of year again!!  Before you know it, Halloween will be here and so will costumes. My goal with this podcast episode is to give you lots of creative costume ideas - for you, for kids, for a family or a group… all of it!  And get you going so it’s all organized ahead of time and you don’t find yourself on October 30th in a one hour line at a costume store.  If you’ve never been in this situation- trust me, it’s pain like nothing else.  So let’s dive into some options for fun...

This probably sounds like we are compromising on what we want out of life… But it’s actually exactly the opposite of that.   This idea of going into situations without set expectations allows you to be more present in the moment as it actually is.  Rely less on other peoples actions and decisions, and more on your own.   And leaning more to the special little spontaneous moments and less on less on those big moments that we often put a lot of pressure on.   And when we do expect...

We all have times in our lives when we feel lost or in a hard transition time… we aren’t sure what our purpose is or we have a lack or goals or passions.  We can feel lost in one aspect of our lives or sort of lost in general.  Maybe it’s a feeling of overwhelm or underwhelm or both!  Today, we’re talking about what to do when you feel lost… in one aspect of life or the total picture. We’re breaking it down and not making it harder than it actually is to get through it. Here are the...

If you spend a few hours a week running errands like most of us do… This podcast is about to save you so much time! Today we are looking at the things that we do in a week or in a month and figuring out what we can stream line. You know I love the system of automate, eliminate and delegate. With all the different technologies available today… there is no reason we should be spending hours a week running errands. There is simply just more efficient options and better ways to accomplish the...

Today we are talking about what you give your energy to. And if we do a very honest self audit, I bet we are all in someway giving energy the things that we don’t want to or they don’t serve us  Our goal today is to work towards not giving energy towards things we can’t control.  Like what people think of you - something that may feel like you have control over but you actually don’t. Therefore… It’s not worth spending your energy on.  And so many other ways to protect our energy...

The amount of information we’ve learned about nutrition and health in the last 10 years is incredible and empowering because we can make better decisions based on facts and how our body feels when we eat certain things.    One thing that just about every expert agrees on… is that salt isn’t the enemy, fat isn’t the enemy… refined sugar is.    We know that consuming too much sugar can lead weight gain and increased risk of heart disease and spikes and crashes in blood sugar - which makes...

The world of nutrition and fitness can all be so complicated and overwhelming.  It’s hard to know what theory to go with or eating plan makes the most sense for you.  I read and study nutrition and fitness and longevity more than any other topic and the thing that I’ve learned is that it doesn’t need to be so complicated - and while everyone is of course different- it helps SO much to simplify it. Ready? The best way to be lean and strong, and lose weight is by doing two things.  ...

Are you ever facing a pretty easy decision and you’re like - I don’t even know I can’t make one more decision today.  You’ve reached… decision fatigue.  That point to where you’ve made so many decisions that you’re just out of decision battery. And that’s my favorite way to think about it. We start with full battery in the morning - and we are the most sharp.  For every decision we make, our decision battery drains just a little bit.  Studies show that we make 35,000 decisions...

This topic is so interesting and something I’ve been hyper focused on for the last few months and it’s made a big difference in how I eat and when I eat and what I eat… and I think it will be for you too.   We are going to break down the actual difference between hunger and cravings and figure out the balance of how we feel full and satisfied…. Without overeating or overindulging to where we don’t feel great… in the short term and in the long term.   By being able to identify… is this...

It is so easy to get into a funk… And I think most of the time it’s because we’re not being hyper aware about our mindset and working to adjust things when they feel off. Prioritizing that above other things.    It might mean canceling plans or hibernating for a little bit so you can re-calibrate and come back into the world feeling good and strong - with a clear and happy mind.   Over the last few weeks, I have spent so much time in the hospital with Craig in the areas of the hospital...

Let’s catch up! I feel like I’ve learned lots of life lessons lately athat I think will be interesting and valuable… some tips and take-aways and things to think about. I don’t do storytime podcasts often because I always try to bring up topics that I think will bring the most value and it’s much less about me and much more about YOU! But for this period of life, a catch-up episode seems like the jam.  So let’s go!

If you are obsessed with productivity and making the most out of your time, this episode is for you! I’m outlining my very clear strategy for getting a full days worth of work done in exactly 3 hours.  It’s taken me so many years of trial and error and reading so many books about high performers and habits and morning routines and efficiency… and from all of that, I’ve started doing this routine with ONE app that I will tell you about. Now I designed this for my work life but it...

We all have days where we just feel just feel like shit. Maybe you are a little sick or under the weather or you’re straight bummed out or in a bad headspace or just low on energy… how do you handle it?  I think there are so many ways to handle times when you feel crappy, and turn it into a win. In this episode, I’m sharing lots of ideas of how to turn a wasted day in to a winning day.  So many options - lean into whatever feels best to get you  Some days we have 100% energy and...

This is not about not taking your life or goals seriously - it’s the opposite… it’s allowing yourself the freedom to make mistakes, try new things, laugh at yourself… so that your worries and stresses don’t consume you and prevent you from fully enjoying life.    In this podcast episode, we’re talking about all the ways we can stay super focused on our priorities and being very intentional with our time, but at the same time, realizing the importance of not taking yourself too seriously. ...

BEST TIP HERE!  Just because someone asked you a question… Doesn’t mean you have to answer it.  Follow me here… This whole concept is game changing.  We are sort of conditioned to answer a question when someone asks us one.  But often times… Answering the question makes us feel crappy or we regret it later… Or we get into a conflict that  we would rather avoid. Let me give you a few examples.  You’re 12 weeks pregnant and someone says… Wow your huge are you having twins? Are...

You might know that one of my favorite things is throwing kids parties and I thought it’d be fun to do a Q and A episode with all of the questions I’ve gotten lately about throwing awesome kids parties.    My goal is always to set-up an experience that is special and in a way magical for everyone that comes to the party.    It’s a moment in time to celebrate your little birthday boy or girl in a way that is perfect for age and what they are into right now… and something for them to look...

You want to hear something crazy… I’ve helped dozens of people start a podcast in the last year and most of them are making real money within the first few months.    And the best part is - they all look so different.  Some of them have do not have a big following or an established business or so many of the other things you might think they would.     The real secret here is that there are so many ways to make money from having a podcast, you just need to LEAN into which way works best...

I have two very special guests with me today..  Presley and Parker!   Which means… this is a kids edition!   So round up your kids - this is an episode to listen to with them!   It is a topic that is great for kids of all ages- and adults too- it’s about own to maintain your self standards… even when other people don’t!   It’s not always easy… but we have a great plan for how to do it.     -What do we mean by self standards?
