What's up Thrivers! Another Food For Thought episode for you. In this episode, I discuss what it means to live with integrity and why it is important to do so. This episode is shorter and gets straight to the point. Let me know if you like this style of episode!

What's Up Thrivers! Every month, as I go through the Praxis Program, I reflect on the month previous and share my Praxis experience with you. My goal is to bring clarity and advice to anyone who is on the fence about applying to Praxis. I am now in month 3 of Praxis, so today I will be reflecting on month 2/module 2 of the Praxis Program.

In month 2, each participant completes a portfolio project. A portfolio project is a stand-alone project that you approach specifically to gain new skills while utilizing your existing ones. The goal? To showcase your ability to create value. Now, some portfolio projects are catered more towards the learning side of things while others are catered more towards showcasing what you already know. However, no matter where one falls on the spectrum, it is always creating value. In this episode I cover:


Qualities of a solid portfolio project
How I chose my project
What module 2 offers beyond project building
Concluding thoughts of module 2

What's up Thrivers! This is the second episode in a three-part series where I cover the War of Art by Stephen Pressfield! In the last episode I defined resistance, and in this episode I cover:


The difference between an Amateur and a Professional
The qualities of a Professional
How to approach your work
How to stay inspired
How to be You, Inc.
How to ultimately turn Pro and combat Resistance

What's up Thrivers! 

Have you ever brought home a treadmill and let it gather dust in the attic? Ever quit a diet, a course of yoga, a meditation practice?

Are you a writer who doesn't write, a painter who doesn't paint, an entrepreneur who never starts a venture? Then you know what Resistance is. 

Listen in to a new Food For Thought episode, where I discuss book one of The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. In book one, Steven addresses the topic of Resistance. He then defines resistance in many ways and explains how it permeates through almost every facet of our lives. In this episode I share my thoughts on the topics discussed within the book while delivering the material in chronological order.

Steven Pressfield - " What I know: There's a secret that real writers know that wannabe writers don't, and the secret is this: It's not the writing part that's hard. What's hard is sitting down to write. What keeps us from sitting down is Resistance."

What's up Thrivers! This episode is the first in a new series called "Discover Praxis". For this series I will be publishing one podcast episode every month that covers my experiences of the month prior.

My hope is to answer your questions and give valuable insight so you can better understand if the Praxis Program is right for you!

The goals of module 1
The curriculum of module 1
The challenges you will face
The skills you will gain and grow through module 1
Praxis Wednesdays, Slack, and Praxis Advisors
