Have you ever found yourself wanting more things in life but you typically seem to have trouble getting them? In this episode, I share how I’ve seen resistance show up in my life.

There is power in presence. Presence provides comfort, care, and a sense of security. It’s choosing to sit down with someone in the middle of his or her journey, and say, “I’m here. I am not trying to fix you, heal you, save you, or correct you.”

This is the first year that I gave up... totally gave up. New Year's resolutions have always been something I start and yet I can't think of a single one I have ever finished. Ever.

I don’t want to be a freak out woman. I don’t want YOU to think I’m a freak-out woman and I don’t want to be treated and handled with white gloves because of it… the reality is, sometimes it’s my default… but WHY?

We know we shouldn’t do it. We know other people’s circumstances and lives are different than ours yet we all do it… We put a measuring stick up against our life and wonder why it’s not like other people’s.  It’s a trap! Let’s talk about what it does, how it effects us and those around us.  

When a stranger remember your name, when friends show up with your favorite coffee for no reason... when your family goes out of their way to do something so special for you... others can make us feel loved but do we set ourselves up for wins in our own lives? Sometimes the greatest moments don't happen because you have a feeling - they happen because you had a plan! What's your plan for making yourself feel loved, valued and successful?

We're not trying to be self-centered or self-serving, but it happens sometimes. What can be really dangerous to the people around us is when we don't even realize we are doing it! We have to talk about this!

To be honest, there are some days that I get frustrated and worn out because I feel like I worked so hard and yet still didn't really accomplish anything. How is this even possible? Let's talk about it!

Do you find yourself in a constant state of frustration? Do you feel like you’re stuck and going nowhere? On this episode we’re talking about not waiting for anyone else or anything certain thing to happen, but rather you leading yourself!

We can’t ever predict what people are going to say all of the time, curveballs are gonna come, hard times are going to be there, but I believe many conversations can be won in the pre-decision. I’m such a firm believer that if you pre-decide things in advance, then you’re able to navigate and handle moments with much more ease then if you never even think about it until it happens.

Have you ever asked someone how they are doing and when they responded “fine”, you locked eyes with them and said, “No really, how are you doing?”... It’s amazing how powerful that completely engaged question can open a person up and be the very thing that they need from you.

You can't just openly share everything with everyone, and you can't just always smile and say "everything is great!" So where is the middle? Let's talk about it!
