    Encore Episode: Everybody Has Something

    BUY THE SLOW LIVING BOOK HERE! As we wrap up 2024, I’m bringing you one final encore episode to close the year with a message that’s been weighing on my mind: Everybody Has SOMETHING. What does that mean? It’s simple—we all have a past. Maybe it’s something you’d like to change about yourself or something difficult you’ve been through. But here’s the thing: whatever your “something” is, it doesn’t define you, and it doesn’t justify your behavior. In this episode, I’m reminding you that as adults, we have the power to choose our next steps. You can decide to move forward, to heal, and to create the life you want. If your past feels heavy, know that you’re not alone. There’s always help and hope waiting for you—don’t hesitate to reach out and take it. Let this be your encouragement as we head into a new year. Let go of the weight of your “something” and seize the opportunities ahead. Thank you for joining me throughout this year, and I can’t wait to see you in 2025 with brand-new episodes.

    Encore Episode: Control and/or Worthiness

    BUY THE SLOW LIVING BOOK HERE! Welcome back to another encore episode! Today, we’re exploring a topic that so many of us can relate to: feelings of unworthiness. I’ll be honest—I still struggle with these feelings. There are days when I catch myself thinking: “I haven’t done enough,” “my ideas aren’t fresh enough,” or even “my clothes aren’t right for this situation.” The good news? These feelings happen less and less as the years go by, and I’m here to encourage you to take the same journey. If unworthiness is something you’re wrestling with, I encourage you to poke at it. Yes, it’s uncomfortable—like crawling through a mucky swamp or climbing a mountain straight out of an episode of Dora the Explorer. But the only way to get to the other side is to go through it. In this episode, I’m sharing: My own experience with unworthiness and how I’ve worked through it.Why it’s essential to lean into the discomfort, even when it feels overwhelming.Encouragement to start your own journey through the “swamp” of self-doubt. Let this episode remind you: you’re not alone, and growth comes from facing those tough feelings head-on. Tune in, and let’s take one step closer to feeling worthy together.

    Encore Episode: Deciphering Data

    BUY THE SLOW LIVING BOOK HERE! Welcome to our second encore episode! As we revisit some of the most impactful conversations from the podcast, today’s episode is all about redefining your relationship with data. If you’ve been a longtime listener, you’ve probably heard me say this before: you are NOT a spreadsheet. And it’s true. But that doesn’t mean you should ignore the numbers altogether. When you’re working to improve your life—whether it’s your health, finances, or personal goals—tracking data is essential. Here’s the catch: data is just data. It’s neutral. It doesn’t define you or determine your worth. This episode dives into: How to collect data without attaching emotions or self-worth to it.Why separating your feelings from the facts is crucial to personal growth.Real-life examples of using data intentionally—like stepping on the scale during a health journey or reviewing your bank statement to improve your finances.Practical tips for keeping your emotions in check while staying accountable to your goals. Whether you’re looking to declutter your mind, simplify your approach, or gain clarity on your progress, this episode will remind you to embrace the facts without letting them define who you are. Tune in to this encore episode and learn how to use data as a tool for growth, not judgment.

    Encore Episode: Sober Curious

    BUY THE SLOW LIVING BOOK HERE! Welcome to our first encore episode of the season! As we close out the year, I’m bringing back some of the most impactful episodes that continue to resonate with my coaching clients and community. Today, we’re revisiting an important conversation about the role alcohol plays in your life. Is alcohol taking up too much space in your life? Is there a healthy place for it in your daily routine? Here’s the key takeaway: exploring your habits doesn’t require a label. Deciding to examine your alcohol consumption—or anything else like food or social media—doesn’t mean you have a problem. Instead, it’s about staying curious and intentional about how these things impact your life. In this episode, we’ll talk about: Why labeling yourself isn’t helpful—and how to keep an open mind as you reflect on your habits.How to evaluate whether alcohol (or any habit) is actively helping you achieve your dream life.The first step in embracing a slow living lifestyle: decluttering what’s not working.The difference between Start Goals and Stop Goals, and how to integrate them into your daily habits. This is an invitation to pause, reflect, and get curious. If something isn’t helping you move forward, it’s worth exploring why you’re holding on to it. Tune in to this encore episode and start building the intentional, slow life you deserve.
