28. No Excuses, Get Your Feet Wet Apr 10, 2019

You want change and you’re aware that change needs to happen, but fear gets in your way when you want to take action.

Getting what you want means you need to move forward. We chat about the dialogue to use on a daily basis and giving yourself permission to not be fine and to be too tired. We are not an island and should not do everything ourselves. Ask for help to get to your destination faster. Figuring things out all by yourself takes longer, employ the assistance of others to get things done faster.

27. Recipe to Create a Good Human Being Apr 10, 2019

There are so many more factors affecting parenting today than in previous generations. I recently read a book “13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don't Do: Raising Self-Assured Children and Training Their Brains for a Life of Happiness, Meaning, and Success” by Amy Morin.

Parenting is more about the parent than the child. These 13 “things” are great guidelines for raising a child.

26. “Just Say No” Apr 10, 2019

Saying “no” is very hard, especially for people pleasers who don’t want to disappoint others. Women need to set boundaries and to say “no” to others. Saying “yes” can limit the accessibility to opportunities. Saying “yes” to everything says to others that your time is not valuable.

People find out who the people are who always says “yes” and seek these people out. People can be uncomfortable with you saying “no”. No is a shield against exploitation and can be your protection. If you have said too many yeses, you can become run-down and shallow. Turn around how you feel by using “no”.

25. PMA - Positive Mental Attitude Nov 07, 2018

So, we're diving in and teaching you how a positive mental attitude can be absolutely life-changing!

Let's be honest, if you go out in public at all, you're probably going to get some criticism for the way you live your life and the choices you make.

So we're laying out our best tips for avoiding the comparison game and living your best life despite the haters.
