In this week's episode, I am sharing my conversation with fellow life coach, Alicia Hall.

She was certified Life Coach through the Life Coach School and is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She is married to the greatest love of her life-Phil, and together they are raising five incredible children ranging from ages 18-4. She has been a member of the LDS faith her whole life and understands the application of faith through challenging times.

In this week's episode, I share things I have learned from Byron Katie. She teaches a process called The Work.

Bryon Katie said, "I discovered that when I believed my thoughts I suffered, but when I didn't believe them I didn't suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Freedom is as a simple as that. I found that suffering is optional. I found a joy within me that has never disappeared, not for a single moment. That joy is in everyone, always. And I invite you not to believe me. I invite you to test it for yourself."

Listen to learn the process.

In this week's episode I talk about how my work, as a life coach, is to empower my clients so they can create a life experience they want when they choose to.

I teach them tools to help them live with intention.

When you live unintentionally, you allow your disempowered brain to create your life experience for you.

When you can invite what I call the 3 A's into your story, you can empower yourself to be your best self.

Your divine self.

And it all begins with compassionate curiosity.

Practicing this with ourselves actually helps us use it with the relationships in our lives.

In this week's episode, I am talking about discovering the patterns and pathways in how we think and how we behave. Once we discover them we can create wanted change. We can show up in the world with purposeful intention instead of on unintentional autopilot.

In this week's episode I talk about the Seasons of Awareness.  Using the model, developed by Brooke Castillo, you have the opportunity to gain self-awareness in order to create wanted change in your life. However, it is important to understand the power that comes when you practice curious and compassionate self-awareness.  Instead of using what you discover to beat yourself up, you use it to accept where you are and life as it is so you can determine where you want to go and what you want to create. I share 3 tips with you to help you access curiosity and compassion in your self-awareness. Listen to learn more!

In this week's episode, I am excited to share a conversation I recently had with Emily Wardrop from Drop the War Life Coaching.  She is an Advanced Certified Life Coach who is passionate about helping All the Moms believe that they ARE a Good Mom! Inherently!

Success and happiness do not come from beating yourself up or arguing with the past. If we are always going to the past, this keeps us stuck and prevents us from creating a future that looks different from the past.

Caleb the College Coach helps college students break up with their anxiety, perfectionism, and indecision to feel confident about their future and love their lives now!

We can actually create time with our minds.

Your life purpose is worth discovering.

How would your life be different if you truly believed that you matter?

I believe, one of the biggest reasons we become disconnected and don’t take better care of ourselves is because of our body stories.

If you are like me, you probably began writing your body stories from an early age.

These stories are often accompanied with feelings of shame and dissatisfaction.

Believing that something is wrong with you because of your appearance.

These negative body stories limit your ability to progress, create positive change and connect with yourself.

In this episode, I share how you can begin reconnecting with you and create wanted change.

In this week's episode, I discuss the difference between our false identity and our divine identity.  Understanding the difference between the two gives us the power to embrace our divine identity.  This frees us to experience life more often from a place of love, peace, confidence, grace, connection and joy.  Your life is the perfect classroom for you to discover who you are and who you want to become. 

What would your life experience be like if you could believe that you are a divine being, that you are enough and that you are loved? 

What influence could you be to the world around you?

Who could you become?

Sometimes the idea of unplugging can feel impossible. I am not saying that you need to unplug for 5 days but perhaps you could for 5 minutes. What unplugging for me isn’t what unplugging is for you. It really isn’t about what you do or don’t do. There isn’t a right or wrong way to do it.

I am inviting you to pause to consider what unplugging looks like for you. It could be as simple as a 1 minute meditation or as drastic as a 5 day river trip.

The point is to consider how you can incorporate unplugging into your life.

How can you refocus, rejuvenate, and reconnect?

The choice is yours!

In this week's episode, I am having a conversation with my friend and coach colleague, Laura Prescott. I am so excited to have her join me. She merges coaching and her love of hiking to create a beautiful adventure for the women she works with. This is the perfect conversation for our monthly topic of fun. I hope you enjoy this conversation!

We sometimes set an Upper Limit on having and creating more fun in our lives without even realizing it.

We view the world around us and we interact with it because of how we see things. By our thoughts. Our beliefs.

I want to share with you seven false beliefs that can limit our ability to create fun and enjoy life. These beliefs can become barriers that hold us back from creating a life we love. In order to create, experience and express more fun and joy in our lives we must learn to overcome these barriers.

Fun is the experience we create for ourselves.

This is done through our thoughts, our feelings and our actions.

For some, the idea of having fun can seem indulgent because it is believed to be something that one must earn.

There is the saying work hard, play hard. Or in other words, work hard and then you can play hard.

However, I believe that fun is essential to life and it is something we want to weave into the everyday of our lives and it doesn’t have to be saved for later.

I am going to share with you 6 reasons why I think it is important to incorporate fun into our lives right now.

In this week’s episode, I am having a conversation with my dear friend and coach colleague, Penny Lobred. This is my first time having someone join me on my podcast and I am excited it is Penny. You will see that she is caring and kind. We discuss how important it is to understand abundance when it comes to navigating our relationships with our teens and adult children. I can’t wait for you to get to know Penny.

One of my most favorite and oft repeated quotes is by President Russell M Nelson, who is the prophet of The Church of Latter-day Saints. He says “the joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.”  When we are focusing on what we don’t have, or I would add not even focusing at all but just going through the motions and getting stuck in the mundane, we can’t experience joy or abundance.  Our brain naturally wants to focus on what we lack and what we don’t want.  Let’s say I tell you to not think of a zebra.  A zebra probably popped into your mind.  If I said, don't think of a red car.  You will probably think about a red car.  This is how the brain works. It works at finding what you are focusing on. The better way is to tell your brain what to focus on.  Then your brain is going to go looking for that. 

Why does this matter?  Because what we focus on is who we will become.  

Who do you want to become?

I invite you consider how your life would be different if you could receive the abundance you already have.  What else could you create from the abundance?  What do you want to focus on?
