Pitch Perfect Soundtrack

Quotes:

“You have to want it more than it hurts. You have to want it more than you’re scared of it. And you also sometimes have to expand your circle and find people that are gonna love you and support you and cheer you on.”

“It’s always gonna be that hard, and if you don’t keep pushing through and pushing through and pushing through you never get to the other side, you keep starting over and then it gets hard again, and then you quit… you have to push through.”

“Everyone is impacted by fear in some way, but fear does not affect all of us in the same way.”

“The worst that can happen right now is that you’ll fail & you’ll learn, and that’s okay.”

Three BS stories that might be HOLDING YOU BACK Aug 26, 2019

Show notes

In this Episode:

Getting more skin in the game on our dreams
Wanting more does is not selfish
Building your confidence through consistency
Letting yourself dream & visualize winning

Girl, do we have a juicy episode for you today.

We are talkin about, what’s it gonna take to show up for our dreams - SUCH an important topic, am I right?

It’s so common in our culture to work so hard on our “day jobs” or for someone else’s dreams & goals, but struggle to show up for our OWN dreams & goals.

If we don’t show up for our JOB, we will get FIRED, right?

But in our own goals, nobody’s gonna fire us if we don’t show up. We are not replaceable in our own dreams, which is why we’ve got to get some skin in the game & show up because no one else is gonna hold us accountable to them.

So today we’re talking about three BS stories that we need to just get out of the way and then two ways I think will help us more deeply commit to our dreams.

I am so excited to hear what you think of this one girl!

Quotes:

“You’re not replaceable in your own dreams. So we’ve gotta get more skin in the game to show up for your dreams.”

“If it’s in you, and you want more, it’s selfish actually if you don’t go get it, because someone needs you to show up to life living your best life which inspires them to show up living their best life.”

“You know that you can do it, but for some reason you’ve decided that your ambition is gonna make someone else uncomfortable.”

“Stretch yourself, go a little bigger with your vision, that vision of what could happen even if it sounds crazy… Let yourself dream again.”

Are you COMMITTED? Or just "INTERESTED" in your goals Aug 22, 2019

Show notes

In this episode:

Calling your shot & getting support
The secret sauce to consistency & confidence
Monitoring the language around your goals
Put your blinders on & get to work

I’m so excited you’re here today for this short little GUT CHECK episode where we are tackling the super simple question: are you INTERESTED in achieving your goals or are you COMMITTED to achieving your goals? I’m excited to dive a little deeper into this, give it a little more juiciness & context. Give it more OOMPH that will get us pumped up so that we can do that thing that’s burning up inside of us. And of course because I am all about tangible ACTION steps, today I am breaking down 5 things that I really think will help push you into COMMITMENT vs just staying “interested” in your goals. I hope you find this impactful and will tag me on IG with your takeaways, can’t wait to hear from you girl!

Quotes:

“If we’re only interested in a goal we only show up when it’s convenient, or we only share our ideas or we share our passion or excitement towards the goal, when we don’t think it’s gonna bother or inconvenience someone else.”

“But the problem that comes in, is when we say that we’re committed but our behaviors match or act as if we’re merely interested.”

“If you’re able to call out & figure out what your main excuse is, then you’re going to be able to tackle it.”

“Monitor your language around your goals, are you saying IF or are you saying WHEN.”

“What would you have to believe about yourself to be true in order to achieve those goals?”

Getting OTHERS on board with your VISION or LIFESTYLE Aug 19, 2019

Show notes

In this episode:

Modeling behaviors that matter to you
Sharing your growth with your partner
Focusing on what YOU can actually control
Having a REAL conversation about your vision

What I want to talk about today, is getting your significant other (or really anyone in your life) on board. The questions I get nearly daily, are around how I “convinced” my fiance to workout with me, or how did I “make” him care more about his own personal growth journey like I do, and how did I get him on board with my vision for my business.. And in short, I STOPPED trying to convince or pull him, because that never worked anyways.

I’m not a relationship expert, but I have learned a lot going through this process myself and I wanted to share a few tips for navigating getting someone in your life on board that I have found to be helpful. I hope you find these tips impactful for ANY relationship in your life and I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Quotes:

“I knew for me personally, I wasn’t gonna marry someone or have a thriving relationship that I wanted, if he didn’t have his own growth mindset for himself because HE wanted it.”

“You are on a team. It’s you two versus your problems or your challenges wanting to grow together. You’re not versus each other.”

“It’s not fair to you nor is it fair to the people out there who are counting on you to show up as your most confident authentic self and do the things that you feel called to do.”

“You might be pleasantly surprised with someone who wants to support you if you tell them what supporting you looks like and what that would mean to you and why you need that.”

Mindset HACK for CHOOSING challenges that SERVE YOU Aug 12, 2019

Show notes

In this episode:

Navigating the negative side of a goal
Pain avoidance vs pleasure driven
Using problems to motivate us to take action
Choosing one challenge over another

Any goal or thing in life that we pursue, does have a negative side to it. Some people are motivated by pleasure and how good it COULD be, while others are more motivated by pain avoidance or how bad will it be if it doesn’t work out. Today I wanted to take a different direction with that pain avoidance mindset & talk about problems and challenges and how we can actually pick our problems or challenges to motivate us to take action. I really think this little trick is going to be really helpful for you and I am so excited to hear what you think!

Quotes:

“No matter what you're pushing towards, there are problems associated with anything.”

“More money, different problems. If you make more money you’re gonna have to navigate your thoughts about making more money.”

“Choosing the problems that you want over those alternative problems or challenges.”

“I bet you, its gonna feel really freaking good if you start celebrating and identifying that you chose the problems that you have and it’s worth it in the end.”

The Anchor Experience: Proving why YOU CAN Aug 08, 2019

Show notes

In this episode:

Breaking through the doubt cloud
Looking for evidence that you CAN
Choosing your own “hard”
Catching yourself in the moment of doubt

Our brain’s job is to protect us & keep us safe - it’s literally how we are wired - especially if you are ever pushing for a goal that you have previously been disappointed by. You know what I’m talking about, when your mind will actually simmer down your own excitement for something so that in case you miss the goal, the fall won’t be as hard. Well, it’s time to say BUH-BYE to that part of our brain because we’re not here to live a lukewarm life where we aren’t pushing for goals that scare us, am I right? I recently navigated this exact scenario in real time, very quickly, and I definitely wanted to share some insight into HOW I changed my mindset to STAY excited using what I call the ANCHOR experience.

Quotes:

“It’s never been the issue that you’re not capable, it’s been the issue that you haven’t managed your mindset.”

“We have to expect that the first time is the hardest because it’s the most unfamiliar, we’ve never been there.”

“That distance between where you are now and where you wanna go, that’s going to give you a powerful tool of resiliency.”

“At the end of this life, we are not going to be proud of the things that came handed to us on a silver platter that were easy, we don’t brag about the easy things. We are proud of ourselves for the things that we did when we didn’t think that we could.”

BUCKLE UP! You're on the right path girl! Aug 05, 2019

Show notes

In this episode:

Learning to enjoy the ride of life
Trusting your gut feeling
Honoring the path you’re on
Owning your self-discovery

Drunk squirrels having a rave in my head. That’s how it felt when I was in a season of feeling lost and stuck in my life. I was anxious about what was “supposed” to be next on my path and it was exhausting. I felt myself withdrawing and like I was honestly losing my ish a little, going down all these different paths of what I should be doing. That stage was SO necessary for me and as a byproduct of that stage, this podcast was born. Now that I am coming out of that stage and feeling a lot more secure with my path, I’m able to look back and see three really important lessons that I learned that I wanted to share with you just in case it could help you or someone in your life. I hope you get something amazing out of this & I can’t wait to hear from you!

Quotes:

“Sometimes, the things that we even think could be good, will be better than we ever imagined. The things that could go wrong won’t, or they will go way more wrong than we ever thought. So what about if we just buckle up.”

“That’s the secret sauce. Is you being you, not you being what you think someone thinks that you should be.”

“If you’re doing you, not only can no one tell you that you’re doing it wrong, but you ARE living your purpose. Right now. Right here.”

Disproving stories that don’t serve you
Upgrading your thoughts

Today we are talking about that little voice in your head and some tangible action steps for MASTERING what you are telling yourself.

We all have this dialog in our head, but if you think about it, would you want to be FRIENDS with that voice?

Would you like that girl and be proud of her?

If not, it’s time to change that voice.

We are all going to have those moments of doubt or judgy moments, but our happiness as people is because of our thoughts.

So how do we actually change those thoughts in our head? I wanted to share 5 things that I am doing to manage the dialog in my head to be a girl that I actually like.

I love this topic & I can’t wait to hear what you get out of this episode!

“Everything that we do is gonna start from what we think about how we do those things.”

“Is the story that I’m telling myself, actually serving me? Or is it through the lense of an older version of me?”

“Whatever you’re looking for you’re gonna find girl, so let’s find the things that are serving us.”

“You can do anything that you set your mind to, but you’ve gotta get your mind right so you stay with it.”

Oh SH*T you "FAILED"; Let's get back UP! Jul 29, 2019

Show notes

In this episode:

Reframing your fear of failure
Expecting to failing more
Getting back up quicker
Growing through what you go through

In today’s episode I’m talking about a quick mindset hack on failure because what I want most is to give you content that will change your LIFE.

I hear a lot from you guys about the FEAR of failure, and I wanted to offer a little reframe on this idea that I think will be really helpful for you and is something you can implement ASAP to change your mindset.

What if we DECIDE that we HAVE to fail because we have to grow through what we go through to become the best version of ourselves? What if we decided that failure was a NECESSARY part of the path towards success?

And while I think fundamentally, we can get onboard with the idea, but I want to engrain this idea with something TANGIBLE I am calling the 24 hour trigger.

I know this is going to help you change your mindset & I can’t wait to hear what you think girl!

Quotes:

“We have to faceplant, because the actual goal in our life is to learn to be more resilient. To grow through what we go through.”

“What if success wasn’t actually the opposite of failure, but it was a necessary part of the path toward success, you HAD to fail.”

“The difference between successful people crushing their goals, even when they’re failing, and people who aren’t seeing success, is how long they let themselves stay down. Successful people just get back up faster.”
