  • 95. How to Finally Stick to Your Goals (& What You Say You're Going To Do)
    Nov 12 2024

    Are you tired of beating yourself up over unmet goals? You know...the ones you keep SAYING you want to achieve, but then don't take action towards?

    In this raw and honest episode, we're diving deep into why we keep setting the same goals without following through - and why that might actually be a good thing.

    Through my personal journey with fitness and exercise, we explore the complex relationship between our goals, societal expectations, and authentic desires.

    🍋‍🟩 Juicy talking points:

    • The impact of unmet goals on self-confidence & self-image
    • How societal conditioning influences our goal-setting
    • The difference between discipline and authentic motivation
    • Finding peace with changing priorities
    • Breaking free from shame-based goal setting

    📝 Journal Prompts for Reflection: (I encourage you to type these into the Notes app on your phone and think about each one for a minute or two!

    1. 1️⃣. What do I say I want to be doing (or what do I say my goal is) but I'm not doing it & why?
    2. 2️⃣. Is NOT prioritizing this goal a bad thing? Or was I conditioned to set this goal and believe that way?
    3. 3️⃣. What WAS my 'why' when I initially set this goal & what is my 'why' now...if I have one at all?
    4. 4️⃣. Can I accept myself if I release this goal all together?

    🎉 EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT:

    Don't miss my upcoming 5-day series where we'll dive deeper into prioritizing your life so that you can be present & "do it all" in a peaceful & authentic way! Stay tuned for more details...especially if you're a mom who:

    ✔️ Feels overwhelmed by their to-do lists

    ✔️ Questions if they're doing "enough"

    ✔️ Want to break free from comparison

    ✔️ Are seeking permission to prioritize differently

    ✔️ Need support in redefining success on their own terms

  • 91. Are You Living Life on Autopilot? Here's Why It's Secretly Draining You!
    Oct 8 2024

    Hey high-achieving mama! Ever find yourself going through the motions at work, then coming home to parent on autopilot too? In this episode, we're diving deep into why so many successful working moms feel disconnected from their daily lives - and what it's really costing us (hint: it's WAY more than just missing precious moments).

    As a single mom and business owner who's been there, I'm sharing the raw truth about:
    -- Why your executive brain feels foggy (even after that third cup of coffee)
    -- The real reason you can't remember what happened at yesterday's team meeting OR what your kid told you about school
    -- How autopilot is affecting your leadership potential AND your parenting style
    -- The surprising connection between presence and professional success
    -- Why "time management" isn't fixing your energy crisis

    Key Takeaways:
    1. The science behind why successful women often default to autopilot
    2. How your current coping mechanisms might be making things worse
    3. The hidden cost of operating on autopilot in your career and family life
    4. A practical tool for instant presence (that doesn't require meditation)
    5. Why traditional productivity advice isn't serving working moms
