Crazy Over EasyProcrastination is the Thief of JoyWe have all heard "comparison is the thief of joy" but have you ever considered the concept of "procrastination is the thief of Joy?" This recently hit me while I found myself frustrated yet again during my morning routine with the kiddos. We were rushing out of the house and I felt my patience slipping when all of a sudden I realized that the only reason I was starting to get worked up was because of my own doing. I had procrastinated one thing after the next and before I knew it I was trying to send off an...2024-03-1927 minCrazy Over EasyAdapt for Your Vision Board ImageVision boards can be so incredible! They can help us paint our dreams and get excited about things we are working towards. I think they can also create very narrow focuses that often hold us back from seeing our visions come to fruition. In this episode we talk about using our vision boards to take necessary steps towards our goals but to also adapt for them where necessary in order to recognize the beauty in the current step and not miss that our vision board is actually unfolding in its own unique way.SUPERHUMAN APP: you can...2024-01-3021 minCrazy Over EasyCommit to YOU and Find YOUR SparkleIf you are feeling stuck or if you are feeling like you don't know who "you" are anymore, try to silence the noise around you.

Rather than taking a full dive into everything I want "out" of my life, I am focusing a bit more on the "ins" and how I can truly squeeze everything out of life! I talk about everything from gratitude, to boundaries, to surviving this community, as well as throwing out the "hustle culture" this year. I think you will find a lot of value in this episode and will be able to lean into your own intentions even more for this year ahead! New blog...2024-01-0933 minCrazy Over EasyMy Thoughts on "Separation Season"I know many won't agree with this but apparently if we are wanting to be "successful," we are supposed to take part in "separation season." While I don't find any need to wait to start working on ourselves or lean into the next goal, I find it very important to recognize moments of stillness and seasons of needed growth. I also think closing our computers and putting away our phones is so important in order to live the life we are working so hard at every day. I believe this is a must listen to episode!

Do you immediately go into all the "bad" or hard things that happened to you that day? Or do you quickly search for something great that happened so you can make your day sound better than it maybe is feeling to you? In this episode, we dive deep into these questions and talk about how we don't have to find the things that maybe went wrong and we also don't have to analyse if anything wildly amazing happened in order for...2023-12-1228 minCrazy Over EasyAre You Talking the Talk AND Walking the Walk?A little tough love today! If you were completely honest with yourself, are there areas in your life where you are talking the talk but maybe not walking the walk? You say you are going to show up for your health and fitness, but you haven't even figured out how to get in more water let alone take a step into a gym or go out for a walk.

But have you ever found yourself frustrated or discouraged when some of your "wants" have not become a part of your reality or the picture you are trying to create?I recently reflected back on the things I "wanted" as a teenager and young adult. Most of these things revolved around relationships and/or connections I wanted in life such as a guy I had a crush on that I wanted to become...2023-11-2233 minCrazy Over EasyLosing ControlThere are many seasons of life where our intentions behind our actions are pure and exciting and fully intended to move us forward, but oftentimes life has other plans and this strong sense of "losing control" can take over. Whether it is the season of motherhood where our kiddos take priority over everything, or the season of growing a business and it consumes all areas of your life, or maybe within a relationship or marriage where you are intending things to go a certain way but again, that sense of "control" is not there. I believe many of us...2023-11-1422 minCrazy Over EasyHow Quickly Can You Bounce Back?"It's not about perfection, it's about how quickly you can bounce back."

We often criticize or judge others for something we don't like about ourselves. But what if we each leaned into our own greatness and put more effort into that?

Do you have goals and dreams that excite you, yet you still reach out to others to validate your next step? I believe that many of us unknowingly seek the approval and validation of others when we really should be trusting our own excitement and instincts and then allow those that love us to simply support us on our journey. Validation feels great, but it shouldn't be needed.

We hyperfocus on it and sometimes find ourselves stuck not knowing how to take that next step forward to show up as her/him.

When you think about where you are at in life and where you hope to go, are you chasing something specific? I believe having goals is HUGE! It helps keep us going, it pushes us, and it betters us in so many ways. But what exactly are we chasing and will we eventually enjoy it once we get there? Success and goals look different to everyone, but sometimes when we continue to strive for more, we miss out on where we are currently at.

So many of us are in seasons of waiting and we struggle to continue living our lives while we are waiting for the next season or transition to take place. But what about those seasons of life where things seem to be running smoothly or a day seems to be unfolding according to the plan, and then something interrupts us? How do we react to these interruptions? Which emotion gets the best of us? I know for me, interruptions happen all day every day in my current season of...2022-09-2018 minCrazy Over EasyLong Game vs Short Game - Where is Your Focus At?Do you focus on your long term goals, or are you someone that wants to get to your goals as fast as possible? Do you need to reach that goal to obtain a title or recognition, or is it to better yourself and add value to your life and others? I am guilty of being a little of both which I think is entirely okay! But occasionally, our desire to get to a specific destination as quickly as possible causes us to miss out on so much.

I think this is a statement that many of us hear when we are going through a transition or possibly a hard time in life. People will say this to you and for many of us, it seems SO far off. While you know they are probably right, it's just not in your ability to see right now.

There will never be a perfect time for anything. We will never be fully ready to take that next step. There will always be some form of doubt or fear that will be present, so why not just do it afraid? In this episode, I encourage you to ask yourself, have you ever chosen NOT to do something simply out of the fear of failing?

You have good intentions and you think you will do "all the stuff" to help you reach your goals, but then you end up doing nothing. This is where I ask my girls to dive deep.

We somehow lose sight of the path we are intended to be on and continue taking steps forward on a path that most likely is not fulfilling us. In this episode, I take some time to reflect about myself falling victim of being on other paths that I thought were expected of me to be on, rather than looking to my own path. We need to take the time to evaluate how we are running our race, make any adjustments necessary, and stay close to our lane.

This is where we feel as though nothing makes sense and we have NO idea where the direction of our life is going.
