So why is it when you finally get some quiet time to focus on the things you really want to, your mind keeps wandering?
It could be that you’ve been conditioned to jump from one thing to the next, but it could also be that your body is working against you! Brain fog and inability to focus can be directly linked to the things you eat (or don’t eat), and in this ep...

The Extraordinary Life PodcastEpisode 78: The Positive Side of PositivityWhen you think of positive thinking, what comes to mind? Optimism, maybe?

These are definitely side effects of positive thinking, but they don’t fully encompass what positive thinking is nor why you should work at it.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing the very real benefits of positivity and how they will affect your successes in life, your relationships, and even your brain! Once I’ve convinced you that everyone should work on being more positive, I’ve got three easy ways you can increa...

Overwhelmed?

When I think about what it means to be courageous in your life, it’s the smaller actions that stand out to me. Things like setting firm boundaries, exploring your dreams, and challenging your limiting beliefs. Not one of these things is easy, and that’s because they all take you out of your comfort zone.

The Extraordinary Life PodcastEpisode 62: Train Your Negative Inner Voice to be More PositiveDid you know that we have about 60,000 thoughts a day and about 80% of them are negative? That number shocked me, especially because the words you tell yourself affect your self esteem, motivation, and the results you create for yourself.
While that may sound like terrible news for your motivation, the good news is that you have complete control of your inner voice and what it says. That’s right, you can control the “mindless” chatter talking to you all day long, so you can start hearing empowering, positive thoughts instead.

Looking back, I wish that I’d done things differently… but of course that’s with all the wisdom I’ve gained over the past thirty years!

There is no right answer of course, but all types of fear hold us back in some way.

It’s almost like they were born with confidence and know exactly what they want and how to get it. I do think some people are born with a little extra oomph, but everyone deserves to feel confident in who they are and where they’re going in life.
When you lack inner confidence, none of the strategies, ways of thinking, habits, and practical tips to improve your life and feel better about yourself will change much at all. It really has to start with YOU, the dee...

There are kids to raise, dogs to walk, groceries to shop for, and jobs to go to.
I get it! It can feel like it’s a lot to take on.
That’s why in this episode I’m telling not only that you shouldn’t take on everything, but how to take on what matters. Like your dreams...

The Extraordinary Life PodcastEpisode 27: 7 Surprising Reasons to Set GoalsI know, I talk about goals a lot. They’re so important to creating your dream life because they give you a direction to go in. After all, how can you get where you want to go without a map to guide you?
But having a roadmap isn’t the only reason you should set great goals for yourself. The right goal holds a lot of power, and in today’s episode I’m sharing seven surprising reasons you should set goals. Yes, this episode is timed perfectly with the New Year, but goals should be part of your l...

The Extraordinary Life PodcastEpisode #25: Speed Up the Arrival of Your DreamsDo you want to reach your dreams faster? Of course you do! So why does it feel like it’s taking so long? One reason might be because you haven’t uncovered your BIG dreams yet.
It’s essential to be crystal-clear on what your dreams are before you start thinking about your goals, next project, or new year resolutions; because if you haven’t envisioned how you want your life to be, how do you go about creating it?
In this episode, I’m sharing six questions to ask yourself that will help you get clear on...

The Extraordinary Life PodcastEpisode #24: Connect with IntentionMost of the women I work with desire deeper connections in their lives. They want to feel closer to their partner, children, and even their friends, but aren’t sure how to make it happen.
The truth is that most of our interactions with others are reactions or habits. Someone says “good morning” to you, and you reply the same. Your partner kisses you as they hand you your coffee (how sweet!), and you say “love you”. There’s nothing wrong with this, but there is another way to connect, too. With intent.
When you learn to conne...

The Extraordinary Life PodcastEpisode 23: Developing a Mindset for MomentumWhen you’re living your life with momentum, it means you’re doing a little more every day to move closer to what you want… and do less of what’s holding you back.
It sounds so simple, yet many of us struggle to maintain momentum even when we briefly find it. It’s frustrating to find yourself in the groove, only to lose it a short time later! So why does it keep happening?
In today’s episode, I’m sharing four reasons that you fail to create momentum, four fears that are slowing you down, and the...

During the holiday season you’ll be seeing more of your family and friends, and these people are the basis for most of the beliefs you have about yourself. Yet these beliefs may not support the life you’re craving, because rather than creating them yourself, they were passed on to you.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing the three...

The Extraordinary Life PodcastEpisode #19: What Defines an Extraordinary Life?The women that I see creating extraordinary lives aren’t unusual people. They haven’t been climbing the Himalayas or heading Fortune 500 companies, or unlocking hidden mysteries of the human body. They are the same people you see at the grocery store, driving their kids to soccer practice, or helping their aging parents with yard work. They really are people just like you.
Still, it can be hard to envision what an “extraordinary life” might look like if you have been living a comfortable life in the status quo for years (or decades!). But it’s okay to want mor...

The Extraordinary Life PodcastEpisode #18: Create Habits That Work For You With Special Guest, Kai DeeringI’m really excited about this week’s podcast, because I am interviewing Kai Deering, a fellow entrepreneur I’ve really connected with during the pandemic. She’s been sharing about her own routines and habits lately, so I brought her onto the show to talk about them.
What I love about Kai is that she isn’t afraid to break the rules when it comes to creating her extraordinary life. She’s crafted a life that not only works with her personality and lifestyle, but one that supports her goals and dreams.

The Extraordinary Life PodcastEpisode #15: A Different Way to Look at ProductivityToday, I’m inviting you to look at the definition of productivity differently; it isn’t about doing more, but doing more to reach your goals. The type of productivity I’m talking about is how to do the things that matter the most, and skipping the rest where you can.
It sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? So why are most people feeling like they aren’t productive enough, and feel overwhelmed when it comes to getting it all done? A big one is that we don’t know how to prioritize our tasks. This is because we ar...

Even when you are tired or just don’t want to, you make yourself get up and get going? If you’re a Mom, I bet you have a list as long as your arm. I know that when my kids were younger, I made their school lunches every morning because it was so important to me that they had good food to eat during the day.
The necessity of my goal (feeding my kids certain foods) was so high that I just did i...

The Extraordinary Life PodcastEpisode #13 How to Increase Your Mental EnergyToday I’m talking about generating energy, the second High Performance Habit. Taking care of our energy is so important because if you don’t have enough of it, how are you going to go after the things you want in life?
The High Performance Institute has studied how our energy levels impact our lives, and they show that energetic people are more likely to have a high level of success. They're also more likely to pursue education, be more creative, have better relationships, and be more assertive. And it makes sense; when you have more fuel, you...

The Extraordinary Life PodcastEpisode #11: How to Avoid the Negative Side of HabitsAs a coach who literally teaches how to embrace habits to create an extraordinary life, it may surprise you that I’m bringing up the negative side of routines. I love my morning routine and how it sets me up for the day, and I wouldn’t change much about it. On the other hand, my evening habit of eating ice cream happened so often that I would head to the freezer each night without even thinking about it. The difference between the two habits (other than one of them made me gain a few pounds,) is that one is d...

The Extraordinary Life PodcastEpisode #9: Getting Back Into RoutineSeptember is the back-to-everything month, and one that I know I get excited for each year; it’s back to routine! Yet getting back into those habits is always easier said than done. To help me get a jumpstart on routine this year, I picked up a copy of James Clear’s book, Atomic Habits. There wasn’t anything surprising to me in the book (after all, I’m a High Performance Habits coach), but it was interesting to see things from a new perspective.
In today’s episode, I’m comparing the first three chapters of Clear’s book...

Unless, that is, you know how to work through it and come out with a plan.

The “more” could be meaning, satisfaction, time, health, or any number of things, and each person’s journey is very personal and unique.
That’s why it can be hard to know what to expect when you begin working with a coach! Your friend’s experience won’t be the same as yours.
