It ain’t gonna happen. 

This magical time you are waiting for

You know the one I’m talking about…

The one where you have all the time you need to work out, to meal prep, to get all your work done and to keep the house clean. 

This miraculous time is coming right???

Things just have to slow down! 

And then…watch out! You are gonna do ALL the things! 

Ummm….no.

I can’t tell you the amount of time I have wasted waiting for things to slow down.

And they don’t…and then I find myself looking back at when I thought I was busy realizing I actually had plenty of time..I just wasn’t utilzing it properly.

You don’t need to wait for things to slow down. 

You need to figure out what is a priority and what deserves your time and attention. 

You do that and suddenly you will find time all over the place! 

This week’s episode is gonna help you do just that. 

Give it a listen! 

Is it time to make the switch?

Change is a constant, but knowing when to make a move can be tricky.

Especially when it comes to switching out your personal care and household products. 

If you feel like your current products are not helping but also might be adding to your health concerns, it might just be time to switch gears.

When I made the switch like 14 years ago, I was hardcore about it. 

I grabbed a garbage bag and threw EVERYTHING out. 

And I mean EVERYTHING. 

I don’t regret one second of it BUT I do recognize that method is not for most people. 

Here’s what I recommend…

1️⃣ Start with the products you use on a daily basis. (soap, toothpaste, deodorant, lotion etc). 

2️⃣ Use the app Think Dirty to see what your products have in them. It gives them a rating, tells you what each ingredient is and what it may be doing to your body and gives healthier recommendations (if necessary)

3️⃣ Then you can either get rid of something that is not serving you OR finish it out and have a healthier version on deck, ready to go.

I would say this depends on the severity of what you find out is in the product. For example, let’s say you are having respiratory issues and you see that a lotion you are putting on every day has an ingredient that is known to cause respiratory issues, get a new lotion. It just ain’t worth it. 

4️⃣ Next, move on to products that you use weekly, repeat the process until you have slowly but surely switched out the products in your home. 

Need help with this still?

I got two options for you…

🔊Listen to my latest podcast where I go more in depth on what to do

👩‍💻 DM me and I will make you a plan that includes doTERRA and non doTERRA products. 

“The reason why you self-sabotage is because it allows you to predict what is going to happen, which is giving you the illusion of self control.”

Saw this quote the other day and dayuuuummm…it sucker-punched me. 

ANY time I have not done what I KNEW I should do it was because I didn’t want to feel out of control. 

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 

But it for damn sure is just an illusion because you end up feeling LESS in control in the end. 

So what the heck can you do about it?

You tune into my latest episode! 😉

What are your thoughts on the quote?? Comment below! Would love to hear your opinions! 

This is the year I finally do it.

How many times have you told yourself that over the years?

And each year, you start exactly where you started the following year.

It's time to break the freakin cycle.

Make this your best year yet by letting go of what you think you need to do.

What exactly do you need to let go?

Well I got five of them for you...

Listen to my latest podcast, #149 to hear what they are and how you can FINALLY get what you want.

Waiting until January to start a new habit? Don't.

It will leave you worse off than where are you right now.

Why?

Because the second you decide to push it out 2 months, you are sending a signal to yourself that all bets are off, and now is the time to "live it up".

And the gap between where you are right now and where you want to go gets bigger and bigger.

Come January, your goal has to be even loftier...this makes it MUCH easier to drop come February.

Instead, allow yourself to be challenged by what is considered the busiest, most stressful time of year.

Because if you can do imperfect action during THIS time, imagine what you can do when life calms down.

Start. and start now.

Don't put your growth on hold...you deserve better than that.

Let's go deeper into the topic...listen to the latest Happy Health Podcast and get going!

You took the first major step...you hired a coach.   That's a fantastic start but it's just that...a start.   To get the most out of coaching, you gotta make sure you show up as the coachee.   As someone who is a coach and always has a coach (multiple ones!), I see it from both sides and do think there is a BIG difference when three major factors come into play...   💛 Check in no matter what...doesn't matter if you didn't do a single thing your coach asked you to do. Still follow whatever check-in schedule they have set up. This lets your coach know where you truly are. If you want until you have something to report, you are wasting precious time when you could have been discussing WHY you didn't take action.   💛 Open up! Be vulnerable. A good coach wants to know what's going on in your head. They would want to know that you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or whatever else is going on. They can't help you if they don't know!   💛 Be as honest as possible. Don't cut corners...eventually, the data will catch up to your results. It's only hurting you and your progress. And it will take MUCH longer for you to get where you are trying to go.   It's not just on your coach to PULL you towards your goal....you have to want it just as much as they want it for you!   I go into more examples and detail in my latest podcast episode.
