Because, Why Not?76 | How To Change The Way You Look At ThingsHave you ever heard the quote that says, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change"? It's one of my favorites and ever since I first heard it, has given me the means by which I am able to totally shift my life in an instant. Once we realize that were capable of changing our perspective and how deeply that changes the way we feel, so much positive change can take place in our life. AND we become much more open to recognizing what we have going for us rather than always what...2021-09-0133 minBecause, Why Not?75 | Listening To What You NeedHello my dear listeners! Miss me? I missed you. I did. This episode is all about how to listen to what you need and how GREAT the benefits are when you do. I've take a summer hiatus from productivity and have willingly slowed down in many ways. It has been truly life giving. There is so much to learn from what we truly know inside of ourselves to be right for us. You know what you need. You have your best interest in mind. You will light your way. Be willing to listen and then to act accordingly. There are...2021-08-0336 minBecause, Why Not?74 | Tools For Managing Annoyance & FrustrationDo you ever have those times in your life when absolutely everything and everyone is driving you crazy? I have been feeling like no one respects my time, no one works efficiently, everybody's a mess, and I'm the only one capable of getting things done. Well, maybe me and every other efficient multitasking entrepreneurial mother that I know! So, what am I doing about it? I am recording this podcast and working through it with you in real time! I am offering up some really useful and easily applicable tools to help you deal with the annoying and frustrating people...2021-06-1734 minBecause, Why Not?73 | What We're Hiding FromThere's so many times in our lives I'm find ways to medicate, numb out, and hide from what is really going on because we are in a state of discomfort. The problem is that we think we are doing this in an effort to feel better but checking out from our lives only makes us feel worse. How can we stop from getting to a place where we feel so uncomfortable and want to hide? I think for so many women who are high achieving, go getters it is really difficult to stop and step back and take a look...2021-06-1037 minBecause, Why Not?72 | Perfectionism Is Causing You PainAre you a perfectionist? Are you a high achieving woman? So many of us who have spent our lives trying to be and do and have it all can identify with these descriptors. Whether it is about your body, your career, your home, your family, or your finances, there are myriad ways that we aim high and set unreasonable and unattainable standards for ourselves. Trying to achieve perfection in any area is a losing battle because perfection isn't real. But! Knowing that is not enough. We must become willing to identify where our striving for perfection is making us miserable...2021-05-2533 minBecause, Why Not?71 I Why Can't We Slow DownI know I can't be the only one who runs myself ragged until I hit a wall going 100 miles an hour and can't take another step! I think it is one of our universal burdens as women that we multitask and take on so many things that we aim to do at such a high level all at once. The work for us here is in recognizing what is too much and what we can let go of and being willing to take things off of our plate. Boundaries with others are always important but what about setting boundaries with...2021-05-1424 minBecause, Why Not?70 | Managing Uncomfortable FeelingsRage! Is this something you experience? It is something that I have been struggling with and didn't even realize it until it crept into my life once I stopped drinking alcohol. My rage is mostly related to parenting and frustrations I have raising young children and has reared it's ugly head all too often over the past year, specifically. I have done and continue to do deep work on managing my rage responses and have some great tools to share here. While rage may not be something you feel specifically, I'm betting you have experienced frustration, irritation, and anger. These...2021-05-0437 minBecause, Why Not?69 | Speak To Yourself With KindnessMostly this episode is about how to speak to yourself with kindness and compassion especially when you have done something that you are disappointed by or have let yourself down in some way. The way we speak to ourselves really matters. Believe it or not, the things that we say to ourselves we believe! The words we use and even the intonation and inflection matter and certainly the feeling behind them. Here's how I work on speaking to myself with more kindness and compassion and understanding when I have done something that lets me down. You also may get a...2021-04-2626 minBecause, Why Not?68 | How To See The Forest For The TreesHow can we know what we want from our lives or what is working for us and what isn't if we never take a step back? This is a lesson I recently learned. I may have known it before, but never put it into practice quite as I did this month. When we are in a state of overwhelm it is nearly impossible to see what it is that is affecting us. When we take a step back and look at the big picture and are able to look at the details instead of at all of the chaos as...2021-04-1628 min

It is a natural state of affairs that we as women carry around shame for so many things in our life ranging from what we've eaten to what we've said to what we believe we ought to have done or who we should be in the world. But what does shame do? Why does it exist? does it serve a beneficial purpose? My answer is always going to be that it does nothing but harm our relationship with ourselves and hold us back. We have got to...2021-04-0239 minBecause, Why Not?66 | Checking Your Ego, Managing Expectations, And Taking Nothing PersonallyOn the heels of my 45th birthday, which was largely a very special and lovely day, I bring to you the process of working through an argument with the one I love. What happens when we lead with our egos and take things personally? We end up in a fruitless battle and everyone ends up hurt. It's even worse when there are high expectations in the mix! Our egos are often disguised and we don't realize we've brought them to the party until they explode and cause a breakdown we weren't expecting. So, what we do in this happens? In...2021-03-2532 minBecause, Why Not?65 | Transforming Your Life (Efficiently & Sustainably)We play so many roles as busy women and yet none is more important than the role we play in our own lives. Problem is, we don't focus on it enough or give it the attention that it deserves. Our relationship with our self is everything and we want it to be stronger, but how? We are in so much pain over so many things. We are able to let this pain go and I can show you the way! I have transformed my life in such powerful, incredible ways over the past two years and because I have done...2021-03-1731 minBecause, Why Not?64 | How To Come Home To YourselfI know some of you busy moms out there are thinking to yourself that I'm going to be talking about how to come home and find an empty house without noisy children and a million things to do! Sounds great, I know, but that is not what I'm talking about. Coming home to yourself is all about the process of tapping into who you really are and what you really want out of life after spending days, months, years, prioritizing everyone other than yourself. It is about making the choice to put yourself at the top of the list. It...2021-03-1048 minBecause, Why Not?63 | Celebrating 2 Years Sober & Everything Being BrighterToday I celebrate and Mark a very important, significant, special day in my life that I never imagined I would. 2 years ago today I willingly, consciously, bravely, and wholeheartedly removed alcohol from my life and have never looked back. There is no simple way to share how I feel about this or the magnitude of the pride and Joy I feel at this accomplishment. Mostly what I want you to hear from me is that in listening to my inner voice I set myself free and gave myself life in a way I never knew existed and that the beauty...2021-03-0248 minBecause, Why Not?62 | The Girl I Always WasI've been cleaning out my mom's house and attic and that has meant going through boxes and boxes of my own memorabilia and photos. Sifting through piles of the last four decades of my life has caused me to look at my life in a way I never have, to look at me in a way I never have. The irony is that this deep spiritual work I have done over the last couple years has led me to know wholeheartedly that our spirit has always remained the same and always will remain the same. It is what guides us...2021-02-2137 minBecause, Why Not?61 | Why I Love Real Housewives (And 21 Minutes To Mindful!)For those of you who already love the ladies of the Housewives franchises, you'll be picking up what I'm putting down.

This is who I am. You are my people, and I am here for you. This is your call to action. You are not making yourself enough of a priority in your own life, and it is time to start. We are all struggling with such similar things, despite how different our lives may be in so many ways (geographically, financially, etc). Our greatest desires and our greatest struggles have so many commonalities. And what we want the most we CAN achieve if we are willing to...2021-01-2737 minBecause, Why Not?59 | Moving Forward With IntentionHappy 2021! New year, new you? Nooooo, none of that. Let's hear into the year just as we are. No resolutions that we break and feel bad about. No focus on what's "wrong" with us that we "need to change". We have what we need and are who we are and that is a beautiful thing! But I do love the idea of choosing a word for the year or setting an intention for the year or even just for the month or for the day ahead. It feels positive, attainable, and allows us to feel good about where we are...2021-01-1331 min

We cannot be who we need and want to be for anyone else or take care of anything in our very challenging lives effectively if we are swirling around in our own inner turmoil. We just prioritize our own calm, our own good feeling, our own internal sense of peace. There is a way! I'll talk it through here today as I work on calming my own storms and will also touch more on how important...2020-11-1846 minBecause, Why Not?55 | Social Media Is The Thief Of JoyHave you ever heard the saying, "Comparison is the thief of joy"? This is my feeling about social media today and many days. I am really feeling the negativity brought on by too much scrolling this week and today I'm talking through what creates that and what we can do about it. It's no secret that people use social media most of the time to share the highlight reels of their lives. This can lead us to comparing our own lives to others, even if what we are are inferring about them from what we are seeing is absolutely false...2020-11-0147 minBecause, Why Not?54 | Caring About Feeling GoodSo many people have been asking me recently what I do when I am feeling down and also how do I lead with my authentic self and care less about what other people think and more about how I feel? Today is a quick and helpful handbook for how I manage my own struggles and difficult times, and how you might more powerfully and effectively choose your own authentic life and good feelings rather than focusing on your fears surrounding how others view your life and decisions. You've got one life to live. Isn't it worth playing by your own...2020-10-1828 minBecause, Why Not?53 | Changing Your Thoughts & Trusting YourselfChange your thoughts, change your life. Your thoughts turn into things. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. These are all concepts created by spiritual teacher Wayne Dyer. I love his work. And it is so true that your thoughts have power. It is also true that you are able to change your thoughts. When you notice that they are negative and not serving you, you can simply turn them into a different thought. And it's important to do, because the things you think about cause you to feel a certain way...2020-10-0937 minBecause, Why Not?52 | When You've Got Nothing Left To GiveWhat do you do when you are completely tapped out and realize that you have nothing left to give? You are not able to communicate in the way that you normally do, you can't be there for people in the way that you want to, and you can't even find the words to say the things that you want to say and that came so easily to you before. You take a break and stop talking, that's what you do. You go inward, retreat inside yourself. You take time to laugh, cry, think, be. And one day you will feel...2020-09-2436 minBecause, Why Not?51 | Someone Else's Success Does Not Impact Your OwnWhat is your immediate reaction when you see someone else experiencing great success? It could be love, career, health, money, travel... anything. Sure, there are times when you are very happy for people that you love. But if you are truly honest with yourself, are there also many times when you are scrolling through Instagram and see someone else's success and are left feeling bad? And why is that? Today I talk about the concept of experiencing others' success in a different way than you have been doing and viewing it as something positive and to be celebrated. This not...2020-08-0432 minBecause, Why Not?50 I Empowering Women To Have Agency Over Their Bodiesas a 44-year-old woman, I have spent my life believing that my weight defines me and that I am to trust every medical person who I come into contact with regardless of whether or not They know me or have my best interests at heart. As I learned to prioritize myself, advocate for myself, and love myself in the way that I know how to now, I also understand that a number on a scale doesn't make me who I am and that loving myself means loving every nook and cranny and flaw that I may see or feel. It...2020-07-1952 minBecause, Why Not?49 | Law of Attraction and Happiness, Meaning, and PurposeHave you ever considered how happy you are, what gives your life meaning, and what your purpose is?

When you feel like you are a failure at everything? Me, too. So what do we do when we feel like we are failing? How do we find a way not to let ourselves down? I think the answer lies somewhere between self-acceptance, self-compassion, and reducing or removing the expectations we have of ourselves and others. Easier said than done, I know. It's a journey, as is everything we do in life. But I...2020-05-0233 minBecause, Why Not?Episode 43 | Maybe We're All GrievingIf you're like me, or anyone else on the planet affected by this global crisis called Covid-19 then you've been feeling a lot of things.

"This is a Pandemic, NOT a productivity contest." It's time we loosen up on the expectations we have for ourselves and others during this time. Wow, do I need that advice! I've got to really work on acting on it.

We're living through something unthinkable. Something Nour generation and those above and below us have only ever read about. The news is scary, things are uncertain, and we feel out of control.

Everything's being canceled, even school, and now we have our kids at home, are trying to work, and find a new "normal" in a world that is increasingly crazy. How do we stay sane? I do think maintaining a routine is super important. But also, it's vital that we release the tight reins a little bit and go easier on ourselves. Can we go easier on ourselves?

One year ago today I sat at a beautiful dinner with my husband in Punta Cana and had my last class of white wine. I knew that it was my last, and it didn't even taste good going down because I was so ready to be done with it. I told him I didn't want to drink anymore and asked him if he could be okay with that.

And it's not shameful, embarrassing, or depressing. It's a true statement of fact for those of us 40+. Why not embrace it?

There's always Bravo, cookies, or something to ease the pain for a moment until we realize that green vegetables make us feel better and, more importantly, we've got everything we need inside of us.

It's such a significant part of the world we live in and the way in which we communicate today. And yet, are we placing too much importance on it? Are we basing our own self worth on the number of likes we are receiving? How do we change our behavior or is that even necessary? There don't seem to be any easy answers but being more mindful about how and when we post and our personal relationship with social media is certainly one worth exploring in order that we feel more happy...2019-12-0639 minBecause, Why Not?Episode 25 | Self Doubt & Imposter SyndromeDo you ever feel like an imposter in your own life? Like, who do I think I am to be doing or saying or feeling this thing? Who is going to believe me if I don't believe myself? Self doubt creeps in when we are listening to the fear our ego is feeling rather than letting our true selves, our inner brings, our hearts lead the way. Hitting the proverbial "wall" is normal. Identifying what you need to do to take a breath and move forward without self-criticism or toxic thoughts is crucial.

Let's agree to give it the old heve ho, shall we? We make ourselves feel so guilty for what? Taking Time for ourselves? Working? Breathing? We've got to stop. We are deserving of every bit of SELF CARE we create for ourselves as moms and women. Can we make more of an effort to slow down, breathe, be mindful, be kind to ourselves and give ourselves what we need? If we don't then who will?

What is it? That dark, uncomfortable, scary, forboding feeling when you've "put yourself out there". We all know it, we've all felt it. But what we know now is that vulnerability is not weakness (Thank you, Brene Brown!) but rather bravery! The hangover doesn't last, but the positive impact of our willingness to be brave does.

Why do we agree to do things that we don’t want to do?
Most of the time, we’re worried about pleasing others instead of honoring ourselves.
In this episode, I talk about my latest team retreat and how I recommitted to my 2018 goal of simplicity. In order for me to finish the year strong, I have to let go of the stuff that makes me busy but not necessarily profitable.
