How much time are you spending in the possibility of having what you desire?Our brain is programmed to focus on what won't work, what could go wrong, and all the reasons why we can't have it or why we're not capable of creating it.Nothing has gone wrong. This is simply your brain's way of keeping you safe.But, this is also an unintentional way of being and operating in your life.We want to be intentional, and purposeful, and use our higher brain to direct our lives.In this episode, we share how you can tap into your higher-thinking brain and drive your thoughts and emotions with purpose and intention, and as a result, make what you thought was impossible a reality in your life.Visit our website here

We're on a mission to do less, better. Creating a life of less effort and more ease has been quite interesting! There is a shift happening all over the globe where people are questioning how much stuff they own, what they spend their time on, and how to get off the hustle-your-face-off train.We have found that focusing on what is essential has been a game-changer in how we feel about business and life, and also, the kind of results we're able to create from this new way of being.In today's episode, we share what life and business could look like when you focus on what is essential and do the essential things with less effort, as well as an important question you can ask yourself to know whether you're on the right track to doing with more ease and flow.Grab the  resources mentioned in this episode here

Everything we do (or don't do) is tied to our level of self-belief. We are all familiar with the famous Henry Ford quote that says "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right." Cognitively it makes total sense and logically we know that believing in ourselves will get us much further in life than not, and yet, we all struggle with belief. In this episode, we deep dive into what believing in yourself really means and how you can believe bigger for yourself.Grab the show notes here

You will never have it all...AND THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT!We often feel guilty for "wanting more".

We also talk about the different intentions of wanting more and how to make it meaningful to ourselves and those around us.You can grab the full show notes HERECONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.shedesignsherlife.comInstagram: @shedesignsherlifeFacebook: @shedesignsherlife

It's true that we all have a story. Many people deal with some heavy stuff. Traumatic experiences that when we hear about them, make us question how that person came out on the other end of it without completely losing themselves. We find these stories where people chose to be victors instead of victims very inspiring and we wanted to talk about how we can take our worst experiences and use them as fuel for change and an opportunity to grow by changing the narrative.Grab the full show notes and resources mentioned in the show here

What is your expectation when you consume knowledge? Not only paid courses but also the things you read, the podcasts you listen to, the people you listen to etc.We are absolute junkies when it comes to consuming knowledge, expanding our awareness and developing ourselves and that will probably never stop (thank goodness!). BUT. What we have learned is that the key component to have all this content work for you, is the intention with which you go  into it!Loving your WHY is just as relevant when it comes to knowledge as it is with any other goals you set in life!You can grab the full show notes HERECONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.shedesignsherlife.comInstagram: @shedesignsherlifeFacebook: @shedesignsherlife

We get to create the life we desire and it starts with our thoughts. A Course In Miracles teaches that there are no neutral thoughts. This is a heavy statement since it means that every single thought we think is creating the reality we're experiencing.In this episode of the SDHL podcast, we unpack this a bit and share our thoughts on how you can leverage your thought power to create a life that you love.

When it comes to being a leader, we usually think about leading others. The more important question is... "Are you a self leader?". Do you need external forces to tell you who you are, set your goals and keep you motivated and validated?In order to lead yourself, you need to step away and see yourself as a project to be managed and grown. What are your strengths? Your values and goals? And how will you keep yourself accountable?In this Episode we dive into the journey of becoming your own leader and taking full responsibility for your life!You can grab the full show notes HERECONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.shedesignsherlife.comInstagram: @shedesignsherlifeFacebook: @shedesignsherlife

Catastrophize: to imagine the worst possible outcome of an action or event : to think about a situation or event as being a catastrophe or having a potentially catastrophic outcome (def.: Merriam Webster dictionary)Sound familiar?

Are you doing a whole lot of nothing?Looking back at the past 2 years we have realized that we were very busy.  But what do we really have to show for it? Whether in our businesses, with our exercise routines or our hobbies, we often think more is better and that we have to keep on hustling and stay super busy all the time.
