Now We're Getting Somewhere Your prioritiesThis episode is about priorities. I find that knowing your actual priorities can be the solution to issues such as guilty thoughts, over-thinking, or over-researching. There are two approaches to thinking about priorities that I find useful, and I illustrate them through a few different client stories + a quick story about me. This idea might seem obvious, but this episode is still very much worth a listen. Because if you have confusion or lack of clarity or guilt, this concept will help you. And you're likely not using it as effectively, or...

Whatever challenge you're facing, I hope this concept helps you succeed more often as you take action towards your goals.

Now We're Getting Somewhere Are you "confused"? Here's the antidote.I do a lot of work on clarity, and many people come to me saying they feel confused. Feeling confused can be exhausting + frustrating. In my work, I've found that many people who think they are confused — are actually just being *imprecise*. In this episode, I share three things that are often revealed, when we actually get precise about our problems. These three things are far more actionable than confusion — and I'd bet if you're confused, you're *actually* dealing with at least one (if not all three). Subscri...

Now We're Getting Somewhere 67: Clarity + Quality TimeHere's something I've been telling tons of clients lately: if you want clarity on a topic, one of the easiest + simplest first steps you should take is to spend quality time with your topic or problem or question. In this episode, I talk about what quality time is, what it isn't, and I get practical about how you can, more tactically, have "quality time" with whatever it is that you want clarity about. This concept might seem small or too simple — but I can guarantee that most of you aren't doing it y...

Now We're Getting Somewhere 3 personal examples of RightnessAs I prepare for my upcoming course, "How To Know What You Want," I have been thinking a lot about how to make decisions, "Rightness," and knowing what you want. So today, I wanted to talk about these topics from a personal lens. I share 3 examples of recent decisions that I made that had Rightness to them - and how I came to those decisions.

Ultimately, I think that Rightness is what we're all seeking — with decisions big and small. I hope you'll join me for this important exploration of the topic.

Now We're Getting Somewhere Transitioning to MotherhoodI recently asked my email newsletter list if they had any questions they'd like for me to answer on the podcast.

While I don't particularly consider myself a parenting expert, to me this question is really about identity, priorities, time, and how our commitments to being a parent fits with all of the other things we are committed to.
