Creating Boundaries: Protect Your Health & Time
Do you feel like your boundaries are constantly being pushed?
Do you find yourself feeling guilty & responsible when others struggle?
Knowing how to create boundaries, and making sure they are respected, is one of the most difficult tasks many women face. When our boundaries don’t hold, it creates a pattern that ultimately takes a toll on your mental and physical health.
Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment Ⓡ, Blake shares the importance of creating boundaries in your professional and personal life. She shares the story of one client who felt like she failed to advocate strongly enough for her team, but in the end, realized that it was really about a misalignment of values. This realization led to a breakthrough that ultimately pointed her toward her unique set of secret sauce transferable skills™.
In this episode, you’ll learn why the issue of boundaries at work and at home is so common among heart-centered women. You’ll hear what broken boundaries feel like in the moment, and the role that fear plays in how we respond. You’ll also gain some great advice about how to change your perspective about people in your life who aren’t respecting your boundaries.
What You’ll Learn:
Why heart-centered women so often experience boundary issues (2:02)
Recognizing misalignment when things don’t go your way (5:11)
The role of fear in our feelings of failure (6:02)
What broken boundaries look and feel like (8:34)
Boundary advice for when you feel like you’re being taken advantage of (10:21)
Favorite Quotes:
Heart-centered leaders, parents, and friends often feel that when we start taking on responsibility or accountability for things that we aren't responsible or accountable for, we think we need more boundaries. But instead, we should be asking why we feel responsible for others.
If you value certain things and you're frustrated because your leadership doesn't value those same things, understand that all you can do is show up and share what you know. But also, begin to recognize if this is a sign of misalignment.
Anytime we go through big changes, it presents opportunities for others to do the same.
When we are taking responsibility for other people, what we're actually doing is stealing their opportunity for their own lesson.

Favorite Quotes:
I really became a human doing, not a human being. I was really so trying to optimize for overcoming this fear I had of not being enough. Callie Schweitzer
To me, a personal brand is what people say about you when you're not in the room. Callie Schweitzer
I had all of my worth wrapped up in my job. I gave everything to it. I went through so many cycles of burnout. But I stayed the course out of fear and how much money I was making. I had lack of clarity, not knowing what was the right path for me. This is why I'm so passionate about helping women understand there's a better way. Blake
I've been able to have it all, but it's all on my terms and my way. And that may not be ‘all’ for somebody else. And that doesn't matter because I get the things that I value and at the end of the day, that eventually creates the life that you want. Blake

Favorite Quotes:
It's very easy for us to go into a guilt and shame spiral. We ‘should’ be happy, we ‘should’ be grateful. But that's the lie because we can be grateful and then we can also want more. -Blake
If I'm getting a new lease on life, what do I want to do? Am I creating the life I want, spending time with the people I care about, and growing and becoming the person I want to be? That was my takeaway from the program. -Danielle
We can get into a black-and-white perspective about needing it to be the perfect time or having the perfect circumstances, or needing to do everything perfectly to be successful. And that's the lie. -Blake
I feel like we're all driven to do what we need to do. But sometimes you just need that extra push of accountability to stay on the path. And I think the duration of the program really helps with that because you finally have built the habits, and then you're accountable for them every week. -Danielle
I have figured my way out of every situation. So regardless of what happens, the good and the bad, I'll figure it out. And I think that has been the biggest mindset shift from the program.-Danielle

Overcoming the Fear of Change
Does the idea of change fill you with fear?
Our feelings and beliefs around change often come from past experiences that we carry into adulthood. Unfortunately, those beliefs can keep us stuck in patterns that prevent us from making clear and confident decisions.
But change doesn’t have to be hard or scary. By getting to the root of your fears when it comes to change, you can begin to get closer to the life you actually want.
Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentⓇ, Blake helps you take the first steps towards understanding and overcoming the fear of change.
In this episode, you’ll learn how career coaching can help you uncover the roots of your fears, finally allowing you to get unstuck. You’ll learn where fears originate and how they impact our lives when we aren’t able to let go of them.
It’s time to release your fear of the unknown and finally achieve the life you want.
What You’ll Learn:
How fear creates risk (1:34)
Understanding the root cause of your fears and beliefs (3:03)
How Blake shifted her own fear of change (5:27)
Processing childhood fears as an adult (6:29)
Reclaiming control of your fears (7:00)
Favorite Quotes:
By continuing to do what we are doing, we are actually at the greatest risk. We are choosing the thing that has zero likelihood of actually getting us what we want in life.
Change is likely none of the things that you think it is. It's actually the place where you can be excited, the place where you can expand possibilities, and it is the only path if you truly want more for your life.
Rather than change itself being painful or hard, it’s the belief systems that you’ve created based on the repercussions of that change.

Total Health Turnaround: Reduce Stress & Feel Better with Guest Expert Dr. Tricia Pingel
Is your body hinting that it might be time for a total health turnaround?
We live in a world that’s so fast paced, it keeps us in a near constant state of fight or flight. But that’s not how our bodies were designed to work.
Without enough time to dedicate to rest, our bodies begin to accumulate stress, which then leads to inflammation. Traditional medicine instructs us to pile on the prescriptions, but that doesn’t get to the root cause.
What we need to do is change our approach to health and view it through a more holistic lens.
Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment Ⓡ, Blake welcomes Dr. Tricia Pingel. A Naturopathic Physician and Energy Expert, Dr. Pingel, aka “The Hip Hop Energy Doc” has helped hundreds of people restore their health. By showing them how to identify the stress causing their symptoms, restoring their nutrition depleted by stress, and assisting in changing their mindset to repel incoming stressors, clients are able to return to their happy, vibrant, and energetic selves.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to start prioritizing your needs and the needs of your body, and finally release yourself from the pressure of perfectionism. You’ll gain an understanding about the holistic approach of naturopathic medicine, and how it can help you relieve stress and reduce inflammation in your body. You’ll also learn how to be grateful for your mistakes and struggles and use them as stepping stones towards a happier, healthier, more balanced you.
If you’re ready to learn how to reduce the stress in your life and finally embrace the best version of yourself, then you’ll love this episode!
What You’ll Learn:
The difference between naturopathic medicine and traditional medicine (7:24)
How modern life contributes to inflammation in the body (14:25)
The healing power of gratitude (24:12)
How to release yourself and your body from perpetual flight or fight mode (29:31)
Why the mind body connection plays such an important role in our physical health (37:10)
Favorite Quotes:
You can't control what happens you just have to adapt. -Dr. Tricia Pingel
The healthiest people I know and the happiest people I know are people that know what their body is trying to say. -Dr. Tricia Pingel
We have this idea that we have control over everything. If we just take control over it, if we just do 1000 tests, and we just keep pushing, and we just keep going, we're gonna get better. When really what we need to do is back up and not control it for a second, and just be in that moment and listen. -Dr. Tricia Pingel
We've normalized that stress. And what we're doing is normalizing creating health issues that will eventually show up and take us out in some pretty significant ways. -Blake
You can actually achieve far more peace, fulfillment, happiness, and impact when you can be grateful, and you can be in the moment, no longer constantly pushing, or hustling to bring things to your life. -Blake
