[PEP TALK] Tiny TWEAKS to help you GROW & EVOLVE! Mar 23, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

The power of stacking tiny habits over time
Accepting that things might not workout on your timeline
Choosing to do those things that are easy to do but also easy not to do
Catching your IFs and replacing them with WHENs

Girlfriend!

I am so excited that you’re here today because we are talking about a couple of tiny tweaks that I think will be really powerful in helping you grow & evolve as a human!

Of course I am always picturing us as girlfriends just chatting having coffee, and sometimes I get feedback that we think we need to make these drastic changes, like huge pendulum swings, in order to make progress.

& I just don’t think it’s necessary to have such an extreme approach. We all want to & love to make progress, because we are human, and of course I want to help you build a life you’re obsessed with! But what I actually think that’s going to take, is constantly making tiny tweaks in your life to up-level.

So today I want to talk about two specific little tips that you can do now that don’t require huge drastic changes but will benefit you massively in the long run! I hope you love it

I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Quotes:

“It’s so overwhelming to think about drastic changes, which is why we often throw in the towel, cause it’s highly unlikely that you’re gonna stay consistent if you think that you’re constantly gonna have to be making these huge pendulum swings in your life.”

“You’ve gotta start catching those ‘ifs’ and turning them into ‘whens’ because we behave based off of what we believe which often comes from the language that we’re using.”

“I just do not believe that you’re gifted a vision for your life without the ability to figure it out.”

Show notes

Letting yourself feel the disappointment & know that it’s okay
Paying attention to whether you are catastrophizing something
Identifying how you can lift yourself up with positive action
Taking care of your physical body even in times of disappointment

Hey girl, I am just so happy you are here today because we are going to have an honest and raw conversation about disappointment. While that doesn’t really sound like rainbows & butterflies & happy little unicorns, it’s important right now that we talk about these real honest conversations we need to have about some of the feelings that we’re feeling while navigating the current state of the world & the coronavirus. You know I like to talk about tangible things that you can actually implement to build a life you love & I want to keep it light and fun, but I also want to be real & raw & honest. I don’t know what your local community is like right now or the severity of the impact on you personally, and I don’t have all the answers, but I am here to tell you that I’m going to be honest & do whatever I can to help you, so I’m breaking down 3 steps that I’ve found to be helpful for navigating & dealing with disappointment or frustration in real time. I’m sending you each so much love & support, and I can’t wait to hear from you soon.

Quotes:

“There’s nothing wrong with you if you’re feeling disappointed. You’re human & you deserve to feel whatever the hell you are feeling, without judgement, let alone from yourself!”

“No matter what is externally going on, it;’s really important that you catch yourself in real time & you notice the thoughts that you’re thinking because that is the most powerful thing that you can control.”

“When you pull yourself up, when you take action, you’re gonna not only feel better but you can then be a light for someone else.”

[PEP TALK] Is your INACTION costing you TOO MUCH? Mar 16, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Intentionally looking at what your inaction is costing you
Getting real with yourself in your “comfy-ness”
The cost of not living up to your full potential
Listening to the rumble in your gut & calling your shot

Girl, I am so glad you are here today for this little pep talk!!!

As you know, I like to picture us like we’re girlfriends chatting & today we are having some SPICY margaritas because this one is short & saucy.

We’re talking about opportunity cost & we’re really going to dive into the fact that you not doing that thing that you wanna do, or choosing to stay stuck (because yes thats a choice!), or choosing to sit in analysis paralysis wondering if you should go do that thing… that is actually costing you, & often it’s a lot more than we even realize.

We often spend so much time thinking about what could go wrong or what it will cost us to do that thing, whether its time or money or social risk.

But the better question to ask is, what is it costing you to NOT do that thing? That’s the opportunity cost & I LOVE this topic, so I am really excited to dive into this with you! I hope you get something impactful from this today & of course let me know what you think!

Quotes:

“Make a list of what you’re leaving on the table if you don’t do it… are you leaving income? Impact? Fulfillment? Joy? Happiness? Confidence? A community of people like a sense of belonging? Just getting pumped up about the one shot here you have on the planet?”

“Are you also leaving on the table an opportunity to have someone that you love… that could see you showing up to your own life, making your life a freaking testimony of what it looks like to give up a good life & go for a great life.”

“If I stayed where I was at, I wasn’t gonna be living up to my potential. & for me, there is no greater cost. I’m not scared of regret, I’m scared of not living up to my potential.”

“What is your inaction costing you? That cost is not worth it.”

Is it time to LEVEL UP YOUR ENVIRONMENT? Mar 12, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Getting super intentional about your environment
Paying attention to who you’re spending your time with
Breakdown of categories of friendships & how they serve you
Seeking friendships & people who help you level up

Today’s topic is SO powerful, I really think it’s going to resonate with you & I am so happy you are here!!

We’re talking about the thermostat for your life, in particular to your friendships.

Maybe you can relate to this stage of life like I am in where I am getting super intentional about my environment, both when it comes to my calendar but also my relationships & the people I am spending my time with and really understanding that other peoples’ energy & their current thermostat settings impacts me and how I show up.

We know how a thermostat works, right?

It’s job is to regulate the temperature back to whatever it is set to. So when cool air comes in, it cranks the heat & when hot air comes in, it will trigger the AC, all with the goal of regulating the temperature.

The same concept can apply to our friendships & how they affect our own thermostat for our lives.

Today, I want you to take inventory on those friendships in a few specific categories and make sure you are surrounded by those GROWTH friends who will help you level up!

I can’t wait to hear what you think girl!

Quotes:

“If you’re spending a ton of time with people & absorbing their ideas or taking their advice, that aren’t at the same temperature as you, they’re not gonna help you grow or elevate at all.”

“I don’t think you listen to a podcast like this if you’re happy with staying the same, you’ve got a gut feeling that you want more, you want to elevate, you want to keep getting better, you’re on a personal growth journey right?”

“I have so many mentors & people that I look at from afar that don’t even actually know me, that help me level up my game.”

“You’re on a personal growth journey which means it’s not always gonna be rainbows & butterflies & happy little unicorns, staying comfy isn’t gonna get you where you want to go.”

The time is NOW: DECIDE who you want to BE! Mar 09, 2020

Show notes

In this Episode:

Who you believe you are really actually matters
Your beliefs about yourself have to be serving you
Identifying the characteristics you truly want to embody
Changing your behaviors to match who you want to be

I love that you are here listening in today and it’s so cool to realize that even though I have no idea where you are, or what you’re doing, we have this platform to connect & I think you’re really going to love today’s topic.

It’s a short one, but we are talking about who you think you are, because who you BELIEVE that you are, that really freaking matters.

I’m going to share with you a little story I heard recently that is so powerful & can help hammer in this perspective that the stories that you’re telling yourself about who you are & who you wanna be, actually need to be serving you. They need to be helping to get you where you want to go rather than hindering your growth. The time is now, you are wildly capable.

Now girl, let's go get it!

Quotes:

“Who do you wanna be? What characteristics do you wanna embody? And are you creating the environment & then supporting it with the behaviors to make that identity a reality?”

“Truly ask yourself, are you willing to adapt the behaviors that are required to get there.”

“That type of unshakable conviction, sometimes that takes some time to build. That takes deposits of confidence every single day that you show up and keep a promise to yourself to do the thing that you said you were going to do after the feeling that you said it in is gone.”

“Sometimes you can be addicted to the struggle, you can be addicted to the pain or because it’s familiar. Because it’s easier to stay miserable than uncertain.”

“There’s a kill-joy voice that happens, that we hear immediately. And whenever that voice starts to creep up, that kill-joy voice, you actually know that you’re on the right track.”

“You can lie to yourself but your body will never lie to you.”

“The bottom line is your gut tells you it’s time to go. But you don’t know what’s next & you don’t know how you’re gonna support yourself… new amazing energy cannot come in unless you make space.”

[PEP TALK} Wait, What's the Alternative!? Mar 02, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Learning to accept that it’s okay to have doubt
Embracing the pain of growing and evolving
Closing the doors that need to be closed by choice
Letting your experiences teach you & bring clarity

I’m so excited you are here today girl for this short pep talk because I know you are loving these short little episodes & will just love this topic! I’m picturing us just sitting in our sweats chatting on the couch with a glass of red wine & thinking maybe, you are in a season in your life right now where you’re not making progress as quickly as you want to.

Or maybe, you have no clue how you’re going to get where you want to go or you find yourself questioning whether you can or are capable of achieving what you want. If so, I hear you. Sitting in that for a minute & feeling all the feels is not comfortable, but it’s necessary & trust me girl, you are not crazy & you are not alone. & today I just want to pose the question, what’s your alternative? Can’t wait to hear what you think girl!

Quotes:

“You are not crazy for wanting more or wanting something different even if you’re grateful for your life right now.”

“Sometimes it actually feels like you’re breaking at first… But it just feels really hard sometimes. But it is a requirement, it is necessary, to get you where you wanna go.”

“We also have the choice of what we decide we’re gonna label as a ‘fail’ or as ‘failing.’ Cause why are we calling stumbling, or navigating curveballs… why are we calling that failing?”

“What is a better teacher than experience? Action brings clarity & experience brings you so much tools to put in your toolbox because you are gonna have to navigate every stage that you’re in.”

Are you LYING to yourself? [WARNING: SAUCINESS AHEAD] Feb 27, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Being honest with yourself about what your goals really are
Calling yourself out when you’re playing small
Applying the 24 hour rule to make progress on your goal
Getting accountability & breaking down the steps you need

Buckle up girl, this one is SAUCY & I am SO excited that you’re here today because I think you’re really going to connect with this topic!

We’re talking about lying to ourselves, and in particular if you’re lying to yourself about what you really want.

This episode is for you if you’re maybe not throwing in the towel or giving up completely on your goals, but as you start going down that path of getting where you want to go, you catch yourself downgrading & then rationalizing the new dream that seems a little bit easier...

This is also for you if maybe you’re actually proactively giving yourself a copout because you’re not actually doing the work that’s required to get you where you want to go so that you have a built in excuse that if you don’t accomplish it, you can say it didn’t really matter to you. I warned you in the title, this is gonna be juicy & saucy but I think you will love it & of course, I can’t wait to hear what you really think so slide into those DMs or shout this one out on IG stories girl!

Quotes:

“Is there a chance, that you’re purposely not trying your hardest so that you can say that you didn’t give it your all or that it didn’t really matter to you, if it doesn’t work out?”

“This goal matters to you. It’s still gonna hurt if you fail. But that’s life! & I don’t think the point is to get to the end of life & say, wow, look I’ve got no bruises... look at me I kinda showed up.”

“That I’m gonna feel proud of myself, I’m gonna feel like I earned it. I’m gonna know that if I showed up & I gave it my all, that I’m gonna feel really proud every single day that I put my head on my pillow. That’s what I want for you.”

“The best way to build confidence & fulfillment, it’s not actually other people validating you & your goals. It’s you keeping promises to yourself.”

“You can’t lie to yourself, when deep down you know that you’re settling on a goal that doesn’t matter to you quite as much as the original goal that you downgraded from.”

The MINDSET tweak that you might be MISSING! Feb 24, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Taking inventory on whether you celebrate your effort or your accomplishments
Aligning your to-do lists with things you can actually control
Make note of the verbiage you are using in the questions you ask yourself
Becoming more self-aware & choosing a growth mindset

I am always SO excited that you are here girl, because how COOL is it that we get to connect on a platform like this?!

I don’t know what you’re doing or where you’re at while listening to this but regardless, I am going to make this count for you & deliver some tangible juicy stuff that you can actually implement.

Let me first set the stage with this quote I recently read, “As much as talent counts, effort counts twice.”

&I really started to think about it and how it might be affecting the way we’re showing up in the world.

How you perceive that question, of whether talent or effort matters more is so important to think about because it is really going to affect how you’re showing up in your life & how much you’re enjoying the process of getting to your goals.

I want to breakdown this concept as a whole and then of course finish up with 2 tangible tips that I think will really be impactful for you!

Quotes:

“People with a growth mindset, they have an underlying belief that their learning & their intelligence can grow with time & with experience.”

“You can do whatever you want as long as you’re willing to put the work in to keep getting better & falling a little bit more in love with the process than what the process could produce.”

“I believe that you do not arrive at confidence, it’s built daily like a muscle.”

“This concept of self-confirming bias is very powerful. It’s a very powerful part of if you’re going to feel happy & fulfilled in your life or not.”

[INTERVIEW] Breaking down the science of Movement, Joy and Stress w/ Kelly McGonigal Feb 20, 2020

Show notes

In this episode:

Breaking down the powerful chemicals released in your body when you exercise
The science behind movement & its effect on your brain
Transitioning from negativity into positivity in the short & long term
Choosing to think about how stress can help you harness your strengths

Kelly McGonigal is an author, psychologist, and educator, who believes that it is possible to experience hope, joy, and meaning, even when things are difficult. She believes that science and stories are two of the best ways to inspire self-understanding, empathy for others, and connection with a broader sense of common humanity. Through all of her work, she shares her own awe about the human condition, whether that’s being amazed by how the brain functions or being elevated by our capacity to transform suffering into meaning. Kelly is a teacher at heart, and all of her books are based on classes she taught at Stanford University (The Willpower Instinct, The Upside of Stress & The Joy of Movement).

Kelly’s 2013 TED talk “How to Make Stress Your Friend,” which makes the case that social connection is both a natural instinct and a source of resilience in times of stress has had over 22 MILLION views! I am SO excited you are here for today’s episode with Kelly who is someone I so deeply admire & I’m sure you’re going to absolutely love her too! Be sure to shout out your takeaways & tag us on Instagram, can’t wait to hear what you think!!

PUMP-UP JAM:

Move Your Body by SIA

Quotes:

“There is nothing like exercise in terms of its ability to change the function and the structure of your brain, to literally remodel your brain.”

“It doesn’t only reduce anxiety & stress… it profoundly changes who you are and your capacity to enjoy being a social creature.”

“We know that as soon as people begin to become more physically active… that because your heart rate is increasing, because you are energized, because you are breathing more deeply, because your muscles are being used, that the sense of self you have becomes almost immediately more confident & more optimistic.”

“Studies suggest within about 6 weeks, you’re seeing a different brain.That you will now have a brain that not only enjoys exercise more, but enjoys life more.”

“Movement is such an incredible way to experience yourself as someone who can learn, grow & change in ways that are personally meaningful & often in ways that surprise you.”
