    6 Ways to Slow Down: When Life Moves Too Fast

    6 Ways to Slow Down: When Life Moves Too Fast

    What do you do when life moves at light speed, but you feel like you can’t keep up?
    It sounds counterintuitive, but it’s likely time to slow down and rest. 
    I know many of you will have a visceral reaction to that — you don’t have time to slow down! But if you don’t slow down and take a beat now, you’ll be forced to later. You can’t pour from an empty cup. You can’t go full speed ahead forever. You aren’t the Energizer Bunny, my friend. 
    And that’s why in today’s episode, we’re talking about SIX ways to slow down when life moves too fast. Because you can’t keep going at this pace forever — something’s gotta give!

    When Self-Help Doesn't Help: Why Self-Help Isn't Helping and What to Do Instead

    When Self-Help Doesn't Help: Why Self-Help Isn't Helping and What to Do Instead

    Everyone wants to be their best selves, right? 
    But what happens when your self-help resources… aren’t helping? Our default reaction might be to assume that WE are the problem, but that’s not necessarily true.
    Sometimes, self-help isn’t helpful, and not everything is right for YOU. Self-help resources are great, but only when you use them in a way that supports how you operate.
    In this episode, I’m going to talk about some of the reasons it might feel like self-help is doing you no good, and what you can do about it going forward (instead of being hard on yourself).
