Have you ever felt like everything is crumbling around you? One day BAM, everything seems to hit you at the same time and life goes from “okay, things are cool” to “OMG, I can't handle this!” Fellow Podcaster and Online Business Coach, Erin Pride and I are back together for a creative and uplifting discussion on what to do when your life and/or business is in chaos…The same rules apply.

Be honest, are you a people pleaser? Do you find yourself becoming overwhelmed, anxious, or maybe even depressed simply from saying "yes" or simply going over and beyond to please others? “Yes, I will take on that project (even though it's unaligned with my goals).” “Yes, I will do this, yes I will do that.” Being a “YESER” can feel like an exhausting hamster wheel. In Episode 7 Online Business Coach and fellow podcaster, Erin Pride gets vulnerable as she tells us her story of going from a people pleaser to putting her needs first! See what happens when you tap into your confidence, get super clear about what you want, and how leaning into the power of “NO” can be one of your biggest assets.

Have you ever found yourself saying: “How did this happen to me?” “This was not the plan!” “This is not what I'm “supposed” to be.” Sometimes life throws us a curveball and the life that we thought we were supposed to have looks and feel much different. But wonder if the curveball is simply a pathway to our greater life and our greater self. In this incredible episode guest Naila Ansari shares how she found joy when her world was flipped upside down. It is a story of how she found breath when she felt like she was suffocating and her process of turning anger into joy that she now shares with the world.

How are you feeling, friend? To face yourself. To face your past and to face your truth is no easy feat. But it can be done! We all have a narrative, some are true and some are false. Many times these are stories that other people have told us and the stories that we have told ourselves. When these false narratives replay in our head and become our truth it takes a deep commitment to get to the other side. Trigger Warning: In this very first episode, guest Ashely Whelan demonstrates this commitment! Listen to how Ashely rediscovered herself and her power after carrying the the burden of sexual abuse on her shoulders and within her body for years. But now Ashely has a new narrative, “Lift Weights, Lift Spirits!” In her story of beautiful bravery, she speaks with the strength and the conviction of a true warrior!
