Burnout is a very real topic that keeps popping up all over social media. Everyone is mentioning that we need to avoid it. They mention that we need to prevent it. They mention we need to do more self-care to prevent it. Yes; yes to all of these things, but what is burnout? Why is it happening and what can we do to overcome it? Over the last year, even while coaching the topic around avoiding burnout, I have learned that sometimes it is not avoidable. When certain life challenges arise, there are times that we will become more burnt out, emotionally and physically, than in other seasons. Our capacity changes, our minds change, our jobs change, and our personal life changes. One season, something that would not cause you burnout may end up causing you burnout. In this episode, I am diving a little deeper into burnout - the what, the how, and the how-to grow past!

Being kind is so much more than just holding a door open for someone. Being kind is deeply caring. It's picking up the phone. Being intentional. Pouring into others. Pouring into yourself. In this episode, I break down kindness into three levels: Kindness to yourself, kindness to others, and kindness to your community. Join me on the journey to create a healthier community by filling the world with more kindness.

Each year, I pick a word to represent my intentions, goals and fuel my decisions about where I am headed. Over the last 5 years, I have picked mostly words that motivate me to climb in my career and level up in life. This year is different. After tackling a number of challenges in 2021, I learned a lot. I learned the power of people. I learned the power of community. I learned the power of love. Losing my mom was one of the hardest things I have ever endured, but the people in my life are the reason I came out the other side. I was overwhelmed with how many people reached out, sent flowers and food, picked up the phone and called, traveled across the country, and poured into my life to ensure my dad and I did not go through this process alone. There are things in life that come and go, but connections are not replaceable. Humans were not built to navigate life alone and the last 2 years have deeply challenged that. Humans were designed to be part of a community. We evolved to have family, friends, support, love, and compassion. Humans were meant to be in a village. The last two years have ripped that away. For the last two years, we have been told to isolate ourselves for our own safety. We also live in an instant world. A world where it has become easy to “communicate” by texting and liking a post on social media. We are in a culture where picking up the phone no longer exists. Deep connections and conversations have gone by the wayside. They have become less of a priority. Even when we are physically with people, a huge percentage of people are addicted to the scroll. Speaking of the scroll, if you haven't gone into your phone and checked your screen time it is terrifying. I was shocked the first time I looked at how much I am on my phone a day- it was embarrassing! Here is my challenge to you- spend true quality time with people you care deeply about. Uninterrupted, focused time. Put your phone away, have meaningful conversations, and be present. No more scrolling, no more checking emails. None of it. Being present has a lot of positives in your personal life, work-life, relationships- everything. I have never been a huge fan of the term “work-life balance” because I really don't believe that it's something that's possible. What I do deeply believe in is work-life presence. When I say that, I mean being fully present in your work and then in your personal life. This means hard, firm boundaries. When you are at work you are 100% work, when you are doing life, you are 100% life- No checking work emails that can wait until tomorrow at the dinner table alright? So let me come full circle here. My 2022 word of the year is Connection. When I broke down what I wanted out of the next year, it really came down to wanting to be present and connected with other people. I want to connect with people on a different level. I want to appreciate, love, and know people. Let me repeat that, I want to truly KNOW people. I don't want to just know where they work and how many kids they have- I want to deeply understand their background, who they are, and why they believe what they believe. When you take time to connect with people, you may realize that we aren't all that different. You may find things you find that are similar or totally different. You may discover that someone you thought you were friends with is someone you don't know much about at all. You may uncover people's struggles, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities. Which is all a good thing. Because like I mentioned earlier- we are humans and supposed to be in a community. We are supposed to love and support each other. Drop a comment on social media and let me know what your 2022 word of the year is. I am so in love with learning what people are aiming towards. I also want to chat with you. I want to connect with you. If you are in my area, let's grab coffee or dinner. Let's just chat and hang out. I want to know you, too!

This is a HARD pill to swallow as an Enneagram 3. I find accomplishment in finishing processes. I am a high achiever. I always find ways to accomplish the goals I set for myself. This year was different. Losing my mom changed everything. I lost my drive, my will, my creativity, and my energy. I lost my purpose. I didn't check 9 of the 10 goals off my list. I didn't launch the magazine. I didn't take the podcast to the next level. I didn't hit revenue goals; in fact, I stopped all revenue completely. I didn't create the event. Here's what I did learn. 1. I learned that my worth isn't tied to my business. 2. I learned that I didn't lose any support when I stopped creating. 3. I learned that I have poured more into my business than my family (that's a harsh pill to swallow). 4. I learned that I have the best people in my life. 5. I have learned that my success isn't tied to social media posts or revenue- I can do this business purely because it brings me joy. 6. I learned the actual meaning of pivot. 7. I learned that it's ok to have seasons where your “day job” can be your main focus and it's just as badass as owning your own business. It's ok if you didn't accomplish your goals. I bet you learned as much or more than you set out to learn, you just have to dig into them.

The Holiday Season has arrived and it is the best time of the year. It is also the season of guilt, people-pleasing, lack of boundaries, and feeling totally drained. This episode is for the person eating the cheese dip and getting on the scale the next morning feeling horrible, regretful, and sad. This episode is for the person that is dreading attending every holiday party they have been invited to but doesn't realize it is totally ok to say “no”. This episode is for the person that wants to create change this holiday season by battling the guilt and balancing their nutrition but still eating the holiday cookie. This is for the person looking to set firm boundaries that allow rest, self-care, and self-love. Let's dive in. Your holiday season is depending on it!

It is so easy to fall into the trap of gauging your health on what you eat and how you move and nothing else. At Glowponent, we deeply believe that there is so much more to your health. Your health is your community, your relationships, your financial situation, your stress, your boundaries, your mental health, and so much more. In this episode, we are diving into some of the components of health and quick ways to adjust those to find better health in those areas and feel better overall!

I am no expert on this topic and speaking purely from where I currently am. I spent years being motivated, working hard, pushing on career goals, looking for the next way to level up. This season has heavily impacted how I think and process my future goals and my priorities. My motivation has disappeared. I haven't wanted to or known how to experience joy. My priorities have changed. My goals have changed. When big life changes happen, so does your purpose, and that is totally ok! This episode is raw, ugly, and my truth. It is where I am in this season and in this moment. Thanks for being on this journey with me.

One day I realized I didn't believe in myself. I still struggle with it at times. But over the last year, I have fired myself back up to deeply believe in what I am doing. I was hesitant to start anything new. I was hesitant to create change. I was hesitant to do anything different. I was scared. I lacked confidence. I had all the skills in my toolbox and was really fortunate to learn skills like public speaking, leadership, following dreams, and doing really big things fairly young. When I was 16 I was invincible with my dreams. I was in 4-H, running a music venue, on a youth city council for my hometown, building parks, and living a life purely to positively impact the world. When I was just over 20 years old I lost that. I started fearing what people would say. I feared what would happen if I tried to change. I feared trying new things. I worried about my image. I let things on social media stop me. I gained weight. I fell into a career and just ran with it and then suddenly didn't know how to change, switch things up or follow my purpose. Last year when we moved to Arizona I left my stable career in the middle of COVID after Eric was laid off. We sold our house and we picked up and relocated. I switched careers to work in the fitness industry, at a time when the entire fitness industry was shut down. I became deeply passionate about the nutrition and fitness industry over the last few years but never knew how to make it a full-time gig. I coached nutrition on the side and obviously created the podcast but I fell short in believing I could be in the fitness industry full time. I was deeply concerned that someone wouldn't trust someone with “my body”. Here are the steps I took when I stood in my own way. 1. I stopped giving a crap about what other people would say. 2. I decided to believe in myself. 3. I remembered my why. 4. I unfollowed everyone on social media that made me feel less than I was. 5. I started believing in others.

Ep 44 Figuring out Failure with Aubrey Damato by Callie Wylie

Want to know one of the things I learned while reading this book? It's ok to say no and let go of commitments that are no longer serving you! Back in January, I launched a book club. We would all read one non-fiction book a month and do a Zoom call to chat about it. My plate is now full and it has become difficult to schedule a Zoom call around multiple people schedules, so I am officially pivoting the book club. Once a month, you will get a “10 takeaways” episode of my favorite 10 lessons from the book. This month, the book was “Dream Big” by Bob Goff. This book was powerful, it has changed my entire life. It reframed how I operate Glowponent, how I lead my team at Club Pilates, and even how I live life in my relationships. What was your biggest takeaway from this book? Let's chat about it on Instagram!

I talk constantly about how you have to be around the right people in order to level up your life, accomplish your goals and love your life. Being surrounded by energy vampires can be a huge factor in your life's success. In this episode, I give you the steps I take every day to ensure that the people in my life are elevating my life instead of draining me.

Failing is always looked at as this big negative thing. Failing is sold as a lack of success. It is sold as a negative thing. Failure is an opportunity to learn. It is an opportunity to succeed. In this episode, I give you step-by-step coaching on how to take your biggest failures and turn them into your greatest successes.

Stop thinking you need to exhaust yourself in order to achieve success. It's actually just the opposite. Take care of yourself, have set downtime, and know when to slow down. These are all part of what you need to do in order to be able to fully show up for yourself, your life, and everyone around you. If you are running to the levels of burnout, you will never be able to achieve full success. Without setting clear expectations and boundaries, you will never be able to achieve a life free of burnout. In this episode, I give you all the little steps you need to set clear boundaries, overcome burnout, and prevent it from happening in the future.

****TRIGGER WARNING**** Amanda Blackwood is a survivor of human trafficking. “At the age of 19, Amanda's life took a drastic turn down a very dark path. Her second brush with human trafficking is outlined in the book "Detailed Pieces of a Shattered Dream" and is not for the faint of heart.

Your mindset can change your entire life. It dictates how you respond to situations and events in your life, your career, your relationships, and influences your overall outlook. There are two different mindsets we will address - limiting mindset and growth mindset. Developing a growth mindset takes concentrated effort and requires small mental shifts over time. Having a limiting mindset keeps you from seeing growth or change. You may fear change. A limiting mindset means you are too focused on the results and are constantly seeking approval. With a growth mindset, you are open to growth and development, you value the process and learning, you embrace failure, and you know that the best is always on the horizon. You are willing to take risks, even if it means falling on your face in order to learn something really awesome. Take these 6 steps to work towards developing your growth mindset! 1. Visualize your best life. 2. Be bold about what’s important to you and base all decisions on your values. 3. Create your own motivation. 4. Don’t quit when things get hard. 5. Address your limiting beliefs. 6. Know that not everyone will understand.

As many of you know, Affirmations are my jam!! My entire life has been transformed through the practice of daily affirmations. I get asked every single day how to create powerful affirmations.

Let’s Recap 2020. Most would say that 2020 was the worst year of their life. We differ from that opinion. Yes, we struggled. Yes, Eric lost his job. I went through the most painful thing I have ever had to do at a job- I had to lay off almost my entire team. (Let’s not mention the day that Eric got laid off, I had to lay off my team. Talk about a day full of fear and so much sobbing). Yes, we uprooted everything. Yes, I will be honest, we moved fast because we were scared. It was so uncomfortable. We left our friends. We left behind our family and friends. We left our security systems. We left our gym. We sold our house. Let me tell you why all of that is positive. Without all of this, we never would have re-branded. We never would have pushed. We never would have chased something bigger. We never would have gotten so uncomfortable. We went all in and I am so excited. Go Big in 2021. You have nothing standing in your way. You have a new year ahead of you. You spent a year in growing pains, so let’s go up and move forward with something bigger. Here is how I am approaching it. Make a vision board. If you want to constantly be pushing towards your dreams, you MUST see them. You must see them every single day. Rip up magazines, draw pictures, write words. Create a vision board of your 2021 and where you want to see yourself grow and go. Pick a Word or Phrase of the Year. My 2021 phrase of the year is “grounded and growing”. Having a word of the year gives you a measuring stick to base your decisions upon. For 2020, my word of the year was “level up”. I turned to “level up” whenever I needed to make a choice. When things got hard, I went back to my word to decide how to pivot. I can honestly say that I am proud of how I leveled up in 2020. For 2021, you will see me intentionally base my decisions on the “grounded and growing” mindset. Write Out Your Goals I am writing out three goals. These three goals have to be BIG. Stop dreaming and setting goals that are small and achievable. If you only set goals for yourself that you know you can achieve, you are not stretching yourself hard enough. For each major goal, write out a few micro-goals that will get you closer to that major goal. Let me break this down with an example. Major Goal: I want to run a half marathon in January 2022. Micro Goal 1: I will run 3 miles a day, 2x a week for 4 weeks. Micro Goal 2: I will run 4 miles a day, 3 days a week. Micro Goal 3: I will run 5 miles a day, 3 days a week. Micro Goal 4: I will run 20 miles a week Micro Goal 5: I will run 10 miles in a single run! Share your vision boards, your goals, and your word on your social media. Tell people what you are doing. Manifest it. Live it. Breathe it. Let’s put 2020 behind up and chase the biggest goals in 2021! Let’s freaking get after it!!!

You have to be the one to make the decision. No one else can tell you that you’ve got to do something. You have to want it. You have to be in the right mindset to tackle that goal. Emily Zupanic did just that. Emily decided that enough was enough and she set out to change her career and her wellness. Emily is a 31-year old that grew up in Pennsylvania. When Emily relocated to Ohio, she found herself miserable in a job she hated. What do you do when you hate your job and you are like Emily (and me- I do this too!), you eat your feelings. You find yourself spiraling into a negative vortex. Emily left that job. She landed herself a new career that filled her job and brought her joy. She decided that the nightly alcohol and binge eating was no longer necessary. She found her spark. She found her why. Emily took the next couple of years to deeply learn about herself and how to take her wellness back. She learned it’s not just about movement or food, but a variety of elements. Emily shares her journey of losing weight, kicking food guilt to the curb, and becoming her best self. The advice Emily leaves you with is invaluable. 1. Small Goals Lead to Big Results. 2. Focus on One Day at a Time. 3. Dedication is Greater than Motivation. 4. You have to be the One to Make the Decision. 5. You have to be Ready! 6. You must fill your cup before you can fill anyone else's. Follow Emily’s health journey and story on Instagram @emilygotgoalz

Growing up, a career was always portrayed as a means to show stability. It didn’t matter if you loved what you did, it mattered that you could provide for yourself and your family. It was expected to not love what you do. You were expected to go to work, make a stable income, and provide for your household. Margie Keates is pushing barriers to break that stigma. Margie believes deeply that you should never be ashamed of what you love and what career you want to hold.

Kaleen Canevari is a powerhouse. She is a Mechanical Engineer and Pilates Instructor which has combined to bring her the business that she owns! Kaleen is the founder of Flexia, a Pilates Experience brought into your home. Kaleen discovered through her story that there wasn’t a solid, good answer to bringing Pilates into the home that was size-inclusive and accessible to everyone which drove her to become deeply passionate about creating foundations for anyone and everyone to have access to Pilates and wellness. Kaleen resolved this issue by launching her own reformer, which will be available in the Spring of 2021. Kaleen shares her story of overcoming knee pain through Pilates, which opened so many doors for her journey, career, and life. Kaleen breaks down the benefits of Pilates, how it can impact your life, and how it can create wellness in your world and everyday life. The key advice that Kaleen will leave you with? “Just because you don’t see someone else doing it that looks like you, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it!” If you are passionate about something and want to chase something, don’t stop because you are the only one that looks or seems like you- you were meant to chase your dream. You will fall in love with the support, love, kindness, and compassion that Kaleen expresses, teaches, and gives.

It’s pretty obvious that we all seem to celebrate gratitude a little more around Thanksgiving but I really, strongly believe that we should all be focusing on gratitude a little more. Gratitude helps me set my intent and my mind for the day. It helps me set my attitude. You get to choose your attitude and mindset for the day. Are you showing up with a grateful heart or a negative, angry heart? Are you showing up being grateful in your interaction with others today? So many people ask me constantly how I am so positive and happy. Let me give a side note that I am not always happy and positive, but I do actively work to become more positive, happier, and more optimistic. I have struggled deeply with anxiety and depression. I have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. I struggle hard, too. It’s ok to struggle. It is completely ok to not be ok. What has helped me more than anything is that I always come back to gratitude to refocus and realize how much joy I really have around me. When I have a bad attitude, it is usually because I am struggling to find the things I am grateful for. When I have been screamed at by a customer at work, I can make the choice to be angry and snarky back to that person, or I can make the active choice to be grateful that they came into my day so that I can bring a little positivity. You get to make that choice. I journal gratitude every day and it’s impacted my life. When you are journaling your gratitude, don’t just write down the same three things every day and move on. Think every day about what you are truly grateful for. Think of new things every single day to journal down. Write down what you are grateful for and why. Do not overthink this. Think about the little moments during your past 24 hours that have brought you joy that you are grateful for. Maybe someone smiled in the car next to you. Maybe you have a really awesome person in your life that made dinner. Maybe laundry was done when you got home. Maybe you got an hour to yourself. Maybe you accomplished something at work you’ve been struggling with or working on. Maybe you ran for the first time in months and you are really freaking proud of your body. Throughout your day, focus on new things that make you happy and that you are grateful for. When you look through the eyes of gratitude, you will slowly realize how much joy there is in the world. Gratitude is an intention. It is something you can work hard at receiving, understanding, and embracing, or it is something you can turn a blind eye to and ignore. You can make the choice to accept the positive, beautiful, amazing things happening around you and for you. You get to decide how you want to view things. Make today beautiful. Keep Glowing.
