What I have learned (and honestly, keep learning over and over again) that no matter how bad you want something or how committed you are to make it happen you will likely still doubt yourself, feel discouraged, and maybe even quit.   This is true in almost any aspect of your life, especially if what you want is wildly different from what you experienced growing up.   So, how do you ensure you don't quit when it get's hard or uncomfortable?   This week on the podcast I teach you a special mind trick that will help you keep going, even when you're brain is telling you to quit.   It helped me create generational wealth (and be the first women in my ancestral line to do so).   It helped me create a beautifully intimate and safe marriage (another first).   And, it continues to help me be in service to the world in big ways that require me to continue to put myself out there in scary ways.   I want to help you do the same thing.   Because when women and people of color break generational cycles of trauma, poverty and pain, they empower not just themselves but the generations that follow them to do the same.   This is how we start to change the tide and create a world that's more inclusive, compassionate and equitable.   Links:  Connect with me on: IG and FB.  Watch my free class and learn how to get more done in a day without stress and burnout.  Get your free copy of the Podcast Study Guide.

My student, Noura, is an immigrant and a mom of 3 (including a newborn), who had really big aspirations.   She's a registered dietician, works clinically with patients, and also started her own business using her dietician skills to help more people.   She has an innate drive to learn and continually improve, which is what brought her to my program, The Journey.   She was struggling with procrastination which would lead to her never finishing her clinical notes on time, but would also get in the way of the success in her business.   Her imposter syndrome was also eating her up inside and she hated knowing how this was limiting her potential.   So Noura joined The Journey. After just a few coaching calls she started noticing big changes. She was finishing her charting at work and coming home on time, with enough energy to spend time with her kids. Her parenting had transformed. She was now more present with her kids (including her newborn). And, she made big changes in her business that helped her connect and help her clients at a deeper level.   Noura is now living a life of intention and purpose. On this week's podcast episode, Noura shares how she, as a mom of three struggling with procrastination and imposter syndrome, created the life and business of her dreams.   Links:  Connect with me on: IG and FB.  Watch my free class and learn how to get more done in a day without stress and burnout.  Get your free copy of the Podcast Study Guide.

The practice of manifestation has been around for centuries, in fact it's been recorded as a cosmic law (kind of like gravity… it's always been around - even before people believed in it - you can't see it, but you know it's there).   You don't need to know the science to practice it, but the science behind it is super cool (okay, I'm a scientist and a huge nerd, so I may be a bit biased).   On this week's podcast, I break down the science of manifestation, in a clear and simple to understand way.   And, I'll teach you my exact practice to manifest all my goals.   Links:  Connect with me on: IG and FB.  Watch my free class and learn how to get more done in a day without stress and burnout.  Get your free copy of the Podcast Study Guide.

One thing that has really helped me play life big, achieve big things in my business and in my life, while also having fun is learning how to take an L, and by L, I mean, a Loss.   Confession: I used to be super competitive.

I also help you understand why you may be playing small by consciously (or subconsciously) avoiding losses and failures.

The Business Accelerator Mastermind: Learn more and Join the Waitlist   Do you need to be more self-disciplined? What would be different for you if you were more disciplined? If you're like many of my students, you may think that if you were just more disciplined then you could achieve [insert ideal state here].   However, in working together, my students are always surprised to learn the real reason behind their discipline problems.   Sneak peak: It has little to do with lack of will, and a lot to do with the old school, outdated, patriarchal way of thinking about self-discipline.   So, in the spirit of January, new beginnings, and a time of the year of high inspiration and motivation, I'm creating a four-part series on mastering self-discipline and using the science of self-discipline to get more done.   Starting with Part 1, where we get super clear on the real reasons why you're not more disciplined.   Once we clear this up, then we jump into all of the science behind self-discipline, and how to use the science of self-discipline and human motivation to really start getting more done in your day, so that you start getting more done in less time, and live a life of purpose without stress and burnout.   Mentioned in this Podcast: Ep. 134 Gap vs Gain Theory   Links:  Connect with me on: IG and FB.  Watch my free class and learn how to get more done in a day without stress and burnout.  Get your free copy of the Podcast Study Guide.
