Stay ConnectedThis is a podcast about self-improvement.
But this is a podcast about self-improvement from a place of love. From a place of excitement. From a place of creation, not remedy.
Five minute episodes that will help you become the person you want to be — and become the person who wants to be exactly who you are.
Though it is January when you're hearing this, I am recording this on Friday, December 9th. Tomorrow, we leave for the travels that my partner and I are going on for the holidays, and this past week has been a really stressful one. In today’s episode, I want to talk to you about what I learned, and I want to walk you through my own review and reflection process. This past week was a level of stress I have not experienced in a long time, and I did not like the version of myself that I became in this week of stress. I realized I need to take better care of myself in moments of stress like that, and that starts with being more aware of when they are possibilities and taking more proactive action in order to make sure they don't happen. If you have a stressful situation coming at some point in 2023, what can you do to be more proactively defensive of your future self?
Since we are now nine days into 2023, I want to give you a little bit of a permission slip. I get people all the time who tell me, “I’m here in coaching because I have a problem with follow through. I just can't hold myself accountable.” And my question is always this: are you struggling with self-accountability or are you holding yourself to a goal that was maybe wildly unrealistic and not letting yourself adjust it to your actual life? In this episode, we’ll break down this permission slip and I’ll remind you that if you’re starting to find that your goal may be unrealistic or a punishment disguised as something empowering, you are allowed to change it.

Today’s episode is all about self-accountability. Self-accountability is something that a lot of us have really quirky mindsets about. More and more people have come to me in coaching and told me that they, themselves, are obligers. As a researcher, I have noticed that obliger is almost always a code word for a fixed mindset about the skill of self-accountability. In this episode, we’ll dive deeper into your belief about self-accountability, what it means to be an obliger, and how to move towards a growth mindset for the chance to truly develop self-accountability. PS: In the Change Academy workshop this month, I’ll be talking exactly about how I started to view myself, not as an obliger, but as someone who could learn how to hold myself accountable and the process of how we learn to hold ourselves accountable.
Happy New Year! If you're anything like me, this first week of the year you are feeling light, optimistic, and motivated. We’re all typically really good at holding these new beliefs that we’ve never been able to hold before about our new 2023 selves, but one of the things that we forget to do is capture those beliefs and learn from what’s happening when something is going really well. In today’s episode we’ll discuss capturing this sense of optimism and why it’s important to discover the cause behind the effect of your success. Also, if you are having this amazing week but you're worried about holding yourself accountable for the rest of the year, our Change Academy topic for the month of January is self-accountability. In the Change Academy workshop, we’ll be talking about what self-accountability really is, exactly how to develop it, and tips, tools, and strategies to make it feel empowering instead of something that you’re lacking or a skill you’ve never developed.
With New Year’s right around the corner, I am so excited for this episode! We’ll be talking about sacrificing in the first week of the new year in order to set yourself up for success for the rest of the year. Sometimes the opportunity to experience the mess up and come back from that mess up makes you stronger in the long run. We are here to support you as you head into the New Year, and because I love, love, love to put things on sale, have unique opportunities, and bonuses, keep your eyes on our Instagram account until January second. There will be a lot of opportunities for you that are gonna be debuting on Instagram very soon. Cheers to becoming our 2.0 selves next year!
In light of New Year’s resolutions, there are so many studies about what helps people make major life changes. One of the things that we know from those studies is that a big thing that distinguishes people who complete their goals and people who change their life in big ways and people who don't is social support. In this episode of the New Year’s Resolutions Tips series, we’ll be talking about the benefits of social support on completing your goals. There’s great power in finding someone to hold you accountable in your goal and you doing the same for them in return. Alliance Coaching can be the perfect way to help hold you accountable with your New Year’s resolution! If you have been thinking about doing big things next year, if you're thinking of challenging yourself, if you're thinking of setting big scary goals, if there are things about yourself that you envision, if you want to finally take action to make the version of yourself that you’ve been dreaming of for years into reality, you are the kind of person I want to apply for Alliance Coaching.
Are you someone who is struggling with the potential disappointment of a resolution failing? If so, this episode is for you!
This is the beginning of a brand new series here on The Work of Becoming podcast, all about New Year's Resolution Tips! I love the fresh start. I love the feeling of a new year. I love the possibility that comes with it. Over the next few episodes, I’ll be giving you a few tips for approaching the new year and setting resolutions. This first episode of the series is all about what you already have. Pain-point marketing and scarcity marketing can make us think and feel like we’re less than we actually are. We’ll walk through a few reminders I have for you as you move through the holidays, and please ground yourself in this podcast as a reminder that you are enough.
Summary: Did you know that the holidays were not designed to fuck you over? In this episode of The Work Of Becoming podcast, we’ll chat about the power of autonomy and how to not hand over the responsibility of your behavior to the holidays. I see a lot of people enter the holidays with this mentality instead of figuring out a compassionate plan that won’t let what everybody else says get in the way of your relationship with your current and future self. Tune into this episode for a deeper dive into how personal autonomy will help you manage holiday stress by prioritizing yourself.
