41. Is PERFECTIONISM killing your CONFIDENCE? Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

Listen, if you've been here for any time at all, you KNOW that the path to gaining confidence requires ACTION. But what if action is just not that easy to take?

We've been conditioned to strive for PERFECTION, right? Get the 4.0, ace the exam, have perfect attendance, etc etc etc. But the NEED to be PERFECT leads us to HOLD BACK. We don't want to try something we can't guarantee we'll be able to perfect. And it's KILLING us.

This week let's unpack this and work through the enemy of GREAT...perfectionism.

40. The path to SELF-DISCOVERY : an interview with Enneagram Coach Gina Gomez Oct 05, 2020

Show notes

This week we're hearing from self-discovery and Enneagram coach, Gina Gomez.

Gina is a PHENOMENAL human, it was not only an honor to interview her but a joy! Gina is a coach, an author, and more recently a dog mom! Her story is incredible - in a difficult time her life she was introduced to the Enneagram, a personality type scheme. She found healing and self-discovery through Enneagram and turned that into a personal expertise and now uses this gift to help other women heal too.

On this week's episode Gina just starts to unpack why it's important to have self-awareness, how the enneagram can help you become more self-aware, and we scratch the surface on each of the enneagram types! I think you're going to find this conversation incredibly impactful and hopefully it will inspire you to do a little self-discovery yourself!

I encourage you to follow Gina on Instagram @ginagomez.co and pick up her book "The Enneagram and You" wherever books are sold!

38. When you're feelin' the FRUSTRATION funk Sep 21, 2020

Show notes

You know, I can't remember the last time getting frustrated SERVED me. Can you?

Look, frustration is a pretty natural thing. And it's a fairly involuntary thing...at first. But imagine a world where you feel frustrated, you acknowledge it and you move through it FASTER and more COMPLETELY.

My friend, you'd be UNSTOPPABLE.

This week's episode unpacks the frustration funk and the power we have over it! Let's do this!

37. How are you speaking to YOURSELF? Sep 14, 2020

Show notes

"Can you please not talk about my friend like that?"

A phrase I use often to remind the people around me that when they speak poorly about themselves, they're speaking poorly about someone I care about. Isn't that a cool frame shift?

On this week's episode we're exploring the way we talk to ourselves in the context of what it would look like if we afforded ourselves the same grace and compassion that comes so easily to others we love. What might change?

Let's find out!

36. Taking ACTION when you just don't FEEL like it Sep 07, 2020

Show notes

Is there anything harder than doing the thing you know you SHOULD do, but you're tired and you don't FEEL like it...so you don't?

I'm about to blow y'all's mind, but MOTIVATION is NOT the solution. Motivation is fleeting and circumstantial and your goals and your lives are TOO IMPORTANT to rely on something so fickle.

In this week's episode I'm sharing two tangible ways I take action when I'm not motivated and don't FEEL like it. How I turn inaction into ACTION until it becomes a HABIT.

You ready? Let's Go!

35. What DISCOMFORT are you choosing? Aug 31, 2020

Show notes

Here's the thing - life is uncomfortable.

No matter how you look at it, there's GOING to be discomfort. Whether it's the discomfort of growth or the discomfort of staying stuck in a life you didn't dream of, YOU are CHOOSING the discomfort you're sitting in.

This week's episode unpacks the POWER in being intentional about which kind of discomfort you're experiencing and a GUT check about the reality of it.

I hope you'll love this episode! And there's more where that came from on LoCurtis.com, don't forget to check out the site and join the email list if you haven't already!

Be BRAVE. Take ACTION. Follow your GUT. You have NO CLUE what the RIPPLE EFFECT of your tiny act of COURAGE can have!

33. Leading by EXAMPLE : an interview with Dr. Brooke Aug 17, 2020

Show notes

What would it take to THRIVE in a stressful, intense and demanding job?

This week we sit down with Dr. Brooke Schampers (known as @doctor_brooke on Instagram), an ER veterinarian practicing in Australia who LOVES her job, in the healthiest way possible. Naturally I wanted to pick her brain and find out what she's doing to help foster this deep love of a job that seems to run over so many people. And her answers were more than insightful, they were inspiring!

It wasn't easy to pick a name for this interview because we talked about so many pieces of the puzzle that need to come together to thrive personally and professionally, but what I can tell you is that Brooke LEADS BY EXAMPLE. She practices what she preaches and she owes a lot of that to the mentors in her life that ALSO led by example.

I can't wait for you guys to hear from her this week! And if you're a veterinary student or veterinarian who works with ER or urgent care cases - I highly highly recommend checking out her ER guides on her website: DrBrookeSchampers.com
