    AP 314: How to Make Goals that Won't Kill You || Bonus Episode Jan 15, 2021
    Show notes

    It was only three years ago that I got back into goal-making (the right way) and that year it took me three months to even decide on them all. I've been on both sides of the all-or-nothing pendulum of attitudes towards goals, so I understand wherever you are. In this episode I'm teaching you how to make goals that won't kill you, with four reasons you're likely struggling and what to do about it.

    Through my experience, and through working with others, I've seen the mistakes we all tend to make when goal-setting. Whether or not you've made your yearly list, you can tune in to learn something that may surprise you. Set yourself up for success this year with my formula, it's easier than you are probably making it for yourself right now.

    AP 313: How to Strive for Excellence (and Still Be Human!) || with Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife and Carolyn Bever Jan 13, 2021
    Show notes

    Licensed marriage and sex therapist, Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife is well known to this community. Today she is joined by her sister, Carolyn Bever who is an acclaimed violinist. Through their respective careers they have both seen how a lot of people become overwhelmed at the prospect of getting from where they are, to where they can go, because of perfectionism. Together they teach the importance of knowing your strengths, your own capacity, and how strive for excellence in a way that works for you.

    Tune in to hear how Carolyn went from musician to marathoner, by taking it literally one block at a time. As well as, a "bad Jennifer story" where she shares an insecurity that may resonate with many listeners. Ultimately remember that the struggle with perfectionism is a very human struggle and how to move the needle anyway.

    AP 312: Reach for More || January 2021 Theme Jan 06, 2021
    Show notes

    If you've been around here for a little while you may know the story of how this blog, and now podcast and community, got started. Years ago, I was a shell of myself, an underachieving perfectionist, but I had an idea. I made a bucket list of sorts, 30 things to do before I turned 30. This list is now what I have coined a "Do Something List" and I make a point to recreate it every year, you can even read my list for 2021! You deserve more and you are ready for more, let me help. I encourage you to start with last week's episode, Do Something to Unlock the Best Version of You.

    In this episode I want to do away with the negative stereotype of being a January Joiner, so that whatever you start right now will set you up for success. There is even a free handbook you can get that will really guide you towards getting started. In this episode I detail 3 pitfalls that I think you may be facing, and specifically how to avoid those. This isn't magic, friends, but to me it is magical when I see the women of this community understand that the transformation lies in the process, and then get to work.

    AP 311: Do Something to Unlock the Best Version of You || Bonus Episode to Start 2021 on the Best Foot Jan 02, 2021
    Show notes

    Goals are GREAT.

    But, what if you are simply too tuckered out from 2021 to overhaul alllll of the things right now? What if you are empty inside from a year of giving so much, FROM so very little? What if you'd of course like to work on your habits, but you first need to figure out who you are SO that you can decide what those habits should even be?

    5 years ago, I accidentally changed my life.

    And it wasn't because I made goals. In fact, it was because I made the opposite of goals.

    In today's bonus episode, I wanted to provide you with the same path that changed me: Do Something.

    You'll hear a special recording I made as I taught a Masterclass to my Strive Hive membership group this past week.

    They kindly let me share it with you, so that our whole community could be trained the way there were and create their own Do Something Plans for 2021.

    I want to re-emphasize here: goals are great. I want you to make them and pursue them.

    But the Do Something Plan is a terrific way to marry fulfillment with progress; and you have my full permission to first focus only on what I did five years ago: DO SOMETHING, and unlock the best version of you in the process.

    Show notes

    As always, I'm sharing a little bit about what my family and myself have been up to, and why I'm actually recording from out of town. Plus, a little update about our future home and current homeschooling. I'm also excited to share my latest "good hard," meaning something that was really hard but has made me really proud.

    For this episode I called on you, the listeners, to share what this unexpected year taught you. 2020 taught me the importance of home, hobbies, and habits. I explain more in the episode about what that has meant to me. Tune in to listen to members from the About Progress community who graciously submitted soundbites sharing what this year has taught them!

    AP 309: How to Know Who You Are || with Arielle Estoria (Encore!) Dec 23, 2020
    Show notes

    During this time of year, and going into a new year, it's so important to know who you are. I am re-airing my favorite episode from 2020 to help you get started!

    Arielle Estoria is a creator, writer, and speaker spreading light and positivity. She was also a self described “professional wallflower” for many years. Her description of not wanting to take up too much space may resonate with many of you, as it totally did for me. She details how she broke free of that mentality, giving herself permission and gaining the confidence she feels is her gift to share with others.

    It’s time to recognize the power and gifts you already have, and step into the power they hold. If this feels too vulnerable, that’s normal. Arielle has just two steps you can take to “dream it out” and start living the life you’ve been given.

    Amidst the lengthy lists we make this time of year, including gifts to buy and service to render, are you on the list? While it's extra relevant throughout this holiday season, it matters all year long, too.

    AP 307: Why Discouragement is a Gift || with Suzy Boyce Chriswell Dec 16, 2020
    Show notes

    Are you a little bit tired of the "rah-rah" messages of positivity despite all circumstance messages out there? What if you could lean into growth, while acknowledging the vast array of disappointment that all of us are experiencing to some degree. In fact, the reasons we become discouraged are often appropriate and logical, so would it help you to learn why discouragement is a gift?

    Suzy Boyce Chriswell is a fellow progressor, just like you, and she's currently pursuing a master's in marriage and family therapy. She shares her experience of seeing the depths of discouragement in those around her, while coming to understand its necessity. She teaches us how to be resilient, lean in to relationships, and shift our perspective. And before you think this won't work for you, she shares her same struggles with perfectionism. Ultimately she realized it was only a buffer against accepting her weakness and working through it.
