[118] Breaking the Cycle of the 'All or Nothing Mentality' and Living Empowered with Shawna Scafe Jan 26, 2021

Show notes

Send me a text

Have you ever thought, "I might as well not exercise today since I ate all those cookies today." Or maybe you have thought "If I can't declutter my house, why start at all."
This is all or nothing thinking. When you view things as zero to 100. This type of thinking causes you to look at extremes and forget about options 1-99.
You can see this in trying to implement self-care, meal planning, stress coping and so many other areas of your life if you pay attention. So what's the problem with thinking like this?
It affects what we choose to do or not do, how we show up, and how we talk to ourselves.
This is why my guest, Shawna, is here to help us. In this episode we talk about:

What is this all or nothing mentality
How the all or nothing mentality can show up in our lives
What steps that we can take to shift the all or nothing mentality
How to be more intentional and pay attention to your thoughts and feelings daily

If you are ready to ditch the all or nothing mentality, check out this full episode.

Shawna is a trained life coach who teaches moms how to simplify, slow down and show up. She is a mom of three and wants to uplift other moms to enjoy their life and live it ON PURPOSE

[115] Not a Pet Lover? Tips for Gettin' in the animal love WITHOUT gettin a puppy! with N E Colby Jan 09, 2021

Show notes

Send me a text

So your kids are asking for a dog again, but you are not really a dog lover. I totally get it!

Let's be honest. Having a dog is a huge responsibility. It's almost like having a baby with the amount of care and attention you have to give a dog.

I have a secret for you. I don't like dogs. But my friend N.E. Colby is helping with spreading the love for animals with my kids WITHOUT getting a puppy.

In this episode we talk about:

How N.E. Colby's family has a love and curiosity for animals (even though her husband was attacked by a dog when he was younger)
Places to go or visit to introduce your kids to animals and grow their for them
Her book series and the inspiration behind it.

ABOUT N.E. COLBY
N.E. Colby was born into a military family, she was able to travel and experience many different things. She is a Veteran of the United States Air Force, a mother of two well rounded children, and married to the love of her life.

N.E. Colby has always had a love for animals. From a young age she was rescuing strays and adopting animals that needed a good home. N.E. Colby and her Husband have been able to pass along their love of animals to their children. Taking trips to Zoo’s every year for birthdays and just because days, while talking about the care required of little creatures that cannot care for themselves. Knowing the importance of teaching children from a young age that caring for living things other than themselves will have an important impact on all relationships in their future.

While always having a love for reading with her children and the desire to write children’s books, N.E. Colby decided that the best book to write was something close to her heart. The Junior Zoo Vet series draws from her greatest inspiration, her children and their love of Zoo’s.
