AP 564: DEEP DIVE: Positive Thinking || preview of More Personal Jan 19, 2024

Show notes

Each month on More Personal I'll take on a deep-but-brief breakdown of a hot personal development topic, history, or persona. While this episode isn’t meant to be a complete synopsis, it will definitely get you thinking and, likely, talking. Today's topic is how positive thinking swept the earth with its motivational methods, but along the way got twisted into shame-driven toxicity. Either way, the world will never be the same.

AP 563: Cast a Vision || Growth Spurt Jan 18, 2024

Show notes

Last year I felt like I had abandoned my goals and day planning by February. As I reviewed them again recently, surprisingly a lot of what I had envisioned still materialized. Clearly defined visions give direction, making it easier to break down the necessary steps and create a meaningful impact on both conscious and subconscious levels. In this episode I'll explain what that looks like in goal planning, and give you a unique twist on setting a word for the year that aligns with the feelings you value the most.

AP 562: “How can I consistently exercise as a busy mom with limited time and resources?” || Coaching Call with Alycia Jan 15, 2024

Show notes

The most common New Year’s habit people want to work on is exercise, and for so many good reasons. Yes, there can definitely be some external 'shoulds' on that list, but exercise also helps us with our bodies, our minds, our mood, and our spirit. Alycia is a busy mom of four, so we work on finding a realistic starting point, then discuss a manageable goal with a plan for small steps to get there and gradually increase. If this is a goal of yours, but you're struggling to implement supportive habits, this coaching call can help you.

AP 560: A creative + practical tool to make a good GOAL || Growth Spurt Jan 11, 2024

Show notes

Sometimes a creative acronym is the most helpful way to embrace a new, or hard-to-love, concept. Today that concept of G.O.A.L.S. is being taught by Misty Marsh, a mom of 4 big-hearted kids and a professional coach for women creating online courses. She understands how difficult it can be to balance motherhood and business and loves making it possible for women to provide for their families while working for a reasonable number of hours from home. If you need a new approach to goal-setting this year, enjoy her brilliant, and practical, breakdown of the word 'goal.'

AP 559: Goal Planning with Soul: how to make goals that match your soul and not your “shoulds” || with Kate House Jan 08, 2024

Show notes

What do you honestly think about goal-setting? For years I was averse to the idea, driven by the fear of failure if I couldn't accomplish them all perfectly. Now, I set goals differently by keeping my season, my values, and my wants at the forefront of my planning. Together with today's guest, Kate House, we dive in to how you can do that, too, by setting intentions and crafting goals with soul.

Kate House is the host of The Live By Design Podcast, a health coach, and online educator. Her purpose is to help women develop the lives they want with intention, not overwhelm.

AP 556: It’s OK to Want More || Why it matters that you know what you want + how to overcome your fears of wanting more Jan 01, 2024

Show notes

After an intense realization of my own personal desire for more, I'm ready to talk to you about your own desire for more. I discuss what “more” might look like for you, how to let go of the fear, anchor in, and reach for more. Not just for this year, but for all of your years.

I am getting into the fear that often compels us to suppress our desires, conform to societal expectations, and become inadvertent people-pleasers. This is a narrative that resonates with many women, myself included, who have spent years living numb to their own wants, inadvertently damaging not just ourselves but the world.

Together, we'll anchor into the truth that wants are not only valid, but essential for personal fulfillment and growth. If you're ready for more, tune in and make sure to get the free guide that accompanies this episode.

AP 555: MESSY YEAR 2023 REVIEW: Adjusting to my fifth newborn, garden boxes, the ups and downs of the podcast, the habit baselines that saved me, how my DSL surprised me, the books and entertainment I loved most, and goals for my family in the new year Dec 18, 2023

Show notes

This is a yearly spin on my usual monthly series where I share my recent highs and lows, how my habits are going, a Do Something List update, plus what I'm loving lately and my commitments for the upcoming year. I hope this glimpse into my life, my family, my work, and my own self development encourages you in your own journey.

Around here the goal is never perfection, just to keep trying, even if in very simple ways. I think you'll see that with all of the big changes going on for me, taking the smallest of steps has helped to keep me afloat and feeling like myself. As always, I encourage you to get messy, too!
