Show notes

BE THE FIRST TO KNOW WHEN THE NEXT TRIBE IS OPEN FOR REG. SIGN UP FOR THE TRIBE INTEREST LIST!

Ever feel like if you speak up for yourself and tell someone "No" to something they are requesting of you or decline an invite (even to obligatory family functions… GASP!) then you are totally being an asshole? Or being super mean? JUST because you're saying "No"? If this is your belief, you are sooooo not alone. I can't tell you how many times people tell me that if they say "No" to someone they assume they are totally responsible for the other person's feelings.

What if that actually wasn't true? What if saying "No" could be done with the utmost kindness and grace? What if saying "No" had nothing to do with the other person and only meant you were taking care of YOU? Well, guess what? It can. And, in this week's pod, I'm challenging the listeners (YOU!) to not only take a stand and start saying "No" to the shit that no longer serves you, but also to change your entire mentality about what you've made this whole concept "mean' until now. What if you could start saying "No" and totally lose the routine guilt trip? Yes, please! Tune in and I'll show you how! Plus, there's a totally free worksheet to accompany this episode! #winning

This pod explores:

What's really happening when you say "Yes" to everyone else (besides yourself)
Why you actually mean "I won't" when you say "I can't"
Exactly HOW to say "No"… without being an ass
How gratitude can get you out of almost every situation

Show notes

BE THE FIRST TO KNOW WHEN THE NEXT TRIBE IS OPEN FOR REG. SIGN UP FOR THE TRIBE INTEREST LIST!

Ever find yourself in a situation where someone you love dearly is in (what you perceive to be) a toxic relationship? Feel like your hands are tied in trying to show your loved one what is possible if they choose to stop tolerating such shitty treatment inside their relationship? This can be so incredibly frustrating, and furthermore, what-the-hell are you supposed to do about it?

Maybe you have a bestie who calls you crying after her douchebag of BF says something super insensitive yet again and you find yourself wondering how much more you can take. Or maybe it's your sister who constantly complains about how shitty her husband is and it seems like this is the ONLY thing you talk about anymore.

If you've come up against this racket and are having a hard time know what to actually DO about it, have a listen to this episode where I dig into 4 action steps you can take to let your loved one know what's up without feeling like a total asshole.

This pod explores:

How to know what you need to give voice to in order to be at peace
How to come from a place of love and express verbally what you see and feel
How to establish boundaries if your concern falls on deaf ears
How to let go of what is NOT in your control

Stick with It or Quit with It? Knowing When to Persevere and Knowing When to Quit [TJJS:EP225] Oct 23, 2017

Show notes

JOIN AFTER HOURS!

You've been in the same industry for 20 years and you're dying to make a change but you're scared shitless to throw in the towel. Wouldn't that mean you wasted two decades?

You're not totally sure you're getting your Master's because it's what YOU really want or if it's because that's what mom wants… or because it's what a younger version of you wanted. Shit. What if you just don't want that path any longer? Finish what you started? That's what they say, right?

You've always wanted to pick up and move to a new country, but jesus, how stupid would it be to quit your six-fig job? But, you're so damn good at what you do! But, then again, Italy is calling...

If you've faced any of these harrowing decisions (or something similar) you know what it can feel like to tow the line of QUIT or PERSEVERE. I mean… how do you know if you should stick with something or if you should just quit while you're (sort of) ahead?

In this episode, I cover off six, specific tactics you can employ to make your decision faaaar easier. Plus, we already know what dad will say… But, with all due respect, it ain't about Dad or your bestie or how much time or money you've invested. It's time to get clear… for YOU. For your happiness. Your fulfillment.

This pod explores:

How to know why you feel compelled to stick with this "thing" and how to know if that's a bullshit reason or not
How to figure out if you are disenchanted with your end goal OR the hard working getting there
My favorite woo-woo, hippie tactic to help you access what you REALLY want
How to figure out what each of your options is costing you… and money isn't the only currency, Babycakes!

Dealing with Anxiety, Panic Attacks, and Medication [TJJS:EP224] Oct 16, 2017

Show notes

JOIN AFTER HOURS!

Over 15 years ago, I sat in my doctor's office explaining my obsessive and compulsive thought patterns, my debilitating worry, and my latest (and thrilling) symptom of dry-heaving. She kindly explained to me that if I continued on the same trajectory, it was likely that I would be dead from a heart attack by age thirty, or at the very least, have extreme stomach ulcers.

Bottom line: This anxiety disorder could take me out.

This wasn't just a matter of being "a worry wort" or a "perfectionist" or all the other labels I had haphazardly thrown around to define my constant need to control and obsess on everything. This was a serious condition that was radically, and detrimentally, affecting the quality of my life.

In this week's episode, I discuss what it really looks like to struggle with anxiety disorder, how to work through crippling panic attacks, and how to approach (or not) the journey of finding a medicinal solution. Struggling with anxiety doesn't mean you can't ever see an improvement in your reality. Have a listen and learn about everything you CAN do to get a handle on this obstacle in your life, because, honey, you are not a victim, you are a Survivor.

This pod explores:

The difference between situational anxiety and chronic anxiety and why that matters
How to set yourself up for success with regards to your triggers, support structure, and medication (And, we may or may not have an in-depth discussion about good ol' Mary Jane)
My perspective on medication and the best advice I ever received about this journey
A handful of strategies to get you through the roughest of panic attacks

I'M NOT READY! Putting Yourself Out There When You're Scared Shitless [TJJS:EP223] Oct 09, 2017

Show notes

GRAB YOUR FREE SPOT IN BECCA TRACEY'S, THE FIVE SECRETS TO GETTING MORE CLIENTS

So, maybe you want to start dating again. Or perhaps you're dying to start your own biz. Or maybe you're dying to lose that damn extra weight. Or apply for your dream job. Or fill-in-the-blank. And yet, you haven't started yet because this voice in your head screams, "I'm not ready!!"

So, you put it off a bit longer with a litany of excuses. "I'll start dating again after I lose 20 pounds." "I'll start my biz after I take another marketing course." "Well, I can't go back to the gym until I've built up more muscle." I mean... Sound familiar?

Listen, trust. I get it. Putting yourself out there is scary as all shit. But like Michael Jordan says, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." It's not about being perfect, and it's not even about being really ready, it's simply about taking action. In spite of your fear.

This week on the pod, I'm joined by my dear friend and colleague, Becca Tracey, as we dig into the major hurdles we face as we start to get ourselves out into the world and how we can look fear in the face and still choose bravery and action.

This pod explores:

Becca's personal story of bravely starting her business in a van (yes, you read that right) and how that was the best choice to get her into action
The biggest lie people buy into about "being ready" to put themselves out there
What separates the "DOers" from the "Not Readys"
How to navigate fear that arises when you attempt something new and scary

4 Ways to STOP Comparing Yourself to Others [TJJS:EP222] Sep 25, 2017

Show notes

GRAB YOUR SPOT IN EXCUSE ME, YOUR BADASS IS SHOWING: SELF-LOVE EDITION

Ever find yourself cruisin' through Facebook, just minding your own business, and then BOOM! You see someone who is thinner than you posing in her bikini in her exotically sexy, annoying vaca pics and you instantly start comparing yourself to her. Or maybe it's that one guy you used to work with sharing about his amazing work promotion for his new, totally awesome company, and your mind starts GOING OFF about how you just aren't smart enough... not good enough... not accomplished enough. Just. Not. Enough. And, you end up thinking, "I've got to stop comparing myself to others!" Because... it feels kinda shitty, amiright!?

Maybe it's not even Facebook... although it can be a BEAST in the whole comparison thing. Maybe it's your co-worker, your neighbor, your bestie, or even your spouse that you constantly compare yourself to. And it usually ends the same way... with you CONVINCED that you totally suck. How do I know? Oh, honey, because I have soooo been there. And you are certainly not alone. In this week's episode, I share four ways you can change how you address the comparison trap which will allow you to actually enjoy stalking out your nephew's hilarious pics on Facebook instead of plummeting into self-hate.

This pod explores:

How to catch yourself when you start "making up" what other people's successes mean about you
How to get to the root of what triggers you
How to be sure you are setting yourself up for success by hanging out with the right peep
How to switch your focus so you feel empowered instead of feeling like shit

LOW-COST COACHING COURSE! EXCUSE ME, YOUR BADASS IS SHOWING: SELF-LOVE EDITION

What if you stopped being soooo invested in what everyone else thinks?
What if you actually stopped talking shit to yourself and beating yourself up for every little thing?
What if you actually believed that you were ENOUGH?
And what if you stopped making everyone else waaaaay more important than yourself?

Wait, whaaaaa!? Yeah. It would be pretty damn amazing right? Wanna know how? I'll teach you! GO HERE to find out about my latest online course! [squeal!!] Yes, please!!

The Stories We Tell (Made Up Stories in Your Mind) [TJJS:EP221] Sep 18, 2017

Show notes

GRAB YOUR SPOT IN EXCUSE ME, YOUR BADASS IS SHOWING: SELF-LOVE EDITION

Have you ever replayed a conversation with someone over and over again in your mind, completely making up what the other person was thinking/feeling/intending? Or how 'bout this one... ever obsessively worry about something day and night until this *thing* comes to fruition, and NOTHING even remotely close to what you were worrying about actually happens? Or have you ever said something like, "I'm just such a perfectionist" or "I can't tell my husband that!!"

If any of those scenarios seem eerily familiar, you will want to catch this week's pod where we're discussing all things Stories We Make Up. As in, all the ways in which we get locked into a specific story which inevitably keeps us small, stuck, and stressed-the-fuck out. Things like thinking you HAVE to do something... The story being "I don't have any choice in the matter". Or making up a whole story about what your mom meant/thought/felt when she made that one comment last week.

We are wildly imaginative beings and sometimes, we give our hyperbolic and fictional stories far more credit that they deserve. Have a listen and start attaching yourself to EMPOWERING stories that have you lit up and taking charge like a total badass.

This pod explores:

How worrying is essentially like praying for shit you DON'T want to happen
How the way you refer to yourself may be massively holding you back... from amazing opportunities and ultimately, from your happiness
How to let go of the mind spiral when you are CERTAIN you've summed up what someone else is thinking or feeling
Specific phrases you need to keep an ear out for to be sure you aren't totally self sabotaging (and not even realizing it!)

LOW-COST COACHING COURSE! EXCUSE ME, YOUR BADASS IS SHOWING: SELF-LOVE EDITION

What if you stopped being soooo invested in what everyone else thinks?
What if you actually stopped talking shit to yourself and beating yourself up for every little thing?
What if you actually believed that you were ENOUGH?
And what if you stopped making everyone else waaaaay more important than yourself?

Wait, whaaaaa!? Yeah. It would be pretty damn amazing right? Wanna know how? I'll teach you! Go HERE to find out about my latest online course! [squeal!!] Yes, please!!

How to stop taking responsibility for everyone else's happiness shit: I'm going to teach you the biggest GAME-CHANGER in shifting the belief that you have to make everyone else happy.

When a Friend Breaks Up with You (Or Totally Ghosts You) [TJJS:EP219] Sep 04, 2017

Show notes

We've all had those awkward-ass friendship situations... where we aren't totally sure where we stand. Not sure if our friendship has run it's course. Not sure if it's worth reconciliation. Not at all sure where we stand or what the other person is thinking. Or if we should fight for the friendship?

Recently, a listener wrote into the show unsure of how she should deal with a situation where a friend essentially "broke up" with her. I guess the millennials call it "ghosting" - where someone just kinda disappears. No response to your texts, call, insta tags, nothing. Just done-zo. Ghosted your ass.

I think we've all had those situations where we aren't sure where a friendship is headed or if the other person is DONE with us. In this episode, I look at 6 things you CAN do to work through this sticky predicament. Have a listen and find out if you even need to apologize (you may not have to!), how to figure out what stories you're totally making up, and how to focus on the friendships you DO want to attract.

This pod explores:

How to make sure that you don't have regrets no matter how bat-shit cray the situation may be
How to analyze the "stories" you may be making up and how to decipher the TRUTH
How to know if you actually need to apologize or if you need to just walk away
