pa·tience: the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset. How often have you felt like you just aren’t seeing results fast enough or you aren’t reaching your goal fast enough? If you’re like me, you feel that constantly.

Striving for a goal of making a change in your life can be mentally and physically exhausting. There is one thing you should be very aware of: burnout. When we get excited about change, we jump all in and face almost every task head-on. But if we don’t take the time to recharge, we can quickly reach burnout.

Change can be exciting yet overwhelming at the same time. Sure, you want to make a change for the better, but when shit hits the fan, you can easily feel lost and alone. In this week’s episode, I share my story of making a change to live sober along with 6 tips you can use to stick with any change you want to make in your life.

Making a change in your life can take some time. Sticking with a change can take a lot of effort. In today’s episode, I take an educational approach and walk you through the stages of making a change. We also jump into a conversation about self-belief and how it can impact your ability to make a change you’ve been thinking about.

There will come a time, if it hasn’t happened already, when you just don’t feel like doing what you need to do. Life weighs us down, we get tired, we don’t have time, and we just don’t feel motivated. The big question is this: what do you do when you don’t feel motivated? Today, I have 4 steps you can take to keep going when you don’t feel like it. But first, it’s important to understand the difference between motivation and discipline. Motivation gets you started.

Now that things are opening back up and we have options on how to spend our time, we may feel tempted to jump right back into a schedule we previously had. We are all honestly going through an adjustment phase right now. It’s important for you to take what you learned during the slow period we just experienced and apply it to your busy lifestyle. In today’s episode, I share how I have been adjusting to a full and busy schedule post-quarantine.

When we are in the moment or facing an obstacle head on, it can feel like the most challenging obstacle in the world. The truth is, it could be worse. And honestly, you have probably been through something worse. In today's episode, I share a recent experience I had when I stood face to face with an obstacle. You'll learn the steps I took to flip my mindset and continue to press forward.

Negative self talk can be paralyzing and even cause you to take steps backwards in your journey towards reaching your goals. The first step in overcoming negative self talk is to recognize you're doing it, and that is easier said than done. In today's episode, I open up about some recent negative self talk and the steps I've taken to overcome it. How are other people supposed to feel positive about you if YOU don't feel positive about you?

Your goals are meant for you; no one else. No one gets to tell you what you can and can't do. No one gets to tell you that your goals and your dreams are wrong. They are yours! However, people's opinions can still creep into our minds as we strive towards the next level or bettering our lives. In today's episode, I talk about why we do that and a few things you can do to overcome the obstacle. Fuck what people think. 

In today's episode, we discuss excuses. It's so easy to make excuses and typically we do this because it's comfortable. The truth is that its difficult to reach your goals and it's difficult to overcome your excuses. Take a minute to ask yourself, "What is one thing I can do today to overcome my excuse?" All you need is one thing, one small win to get the momentum rolling. If you can overcome your excuse once, you can do it again and again.

How often do you take time to sit back and reflect on what you have been through or what you have accomplished? Sometimes we avoid revisiting painful moments. However, there is so much to be learned by looking at what you went through, lessons you've learned and progress you've made. Reflecting allows you to give yourself the credit you earned and gives you permission to revisit difficult and painful emotions without carrying negativity along with it. Most importantly, it reminds you of your strength. In today's episode, I dive into the benefits of reflecting on your journey and how you can use your lessons to propel you forward to attack any goal you desire.

So you want to quit? Before you do, here is how you can check yourself to make sure you are making the right choice. In this episode, I walk you through questions you can ask yourself and 4 extremely simple steps you can take to stay on track. 

Community brings power, belief, action, accountability, motivation, and inspiration. I don't just mean the community in which you live. Communities exist on many platforms, but no matter how or where or why, communities can change your life. In today's episode, I talk about the communities I have been part of throughout my journey and how they have helped empower me to reach my goals. 

What do Dave Ramsey & Jocko Willink have in common? They both helped me change my life. In today's episode, I share my interview with Dave Ramsey in 2018 and talk about how I took extreme ownership of where I was in my life when things crumbled in 2016. You get to choose to be a victor. You get to choose how to live your life right now. You get to choose whether or not you are going to prevail.

Going from a million miles an hour to slow, empty days has really been challenging. Over the past week, I was finally able to take a step back and figure out how I can continue to move forward. Today's episode walks you through my thought process and how to determine what is actually bringing you joy and how to find fulfillment even in these slower times.

I'm slowly realizing this is my new reality. And with that comes some mindset shifts. I don't have it completely mastered but there are a few things I have been leaning on and leaning towards when I'm starting to feel my mindset go downhill. In today's episode, I share these tips and topics to help me keep my sanity through this odd time in life.

Let's lighten things up a bit. Enjoy this entertaining, yet slightly awkward, story time. From breaking my nose to being an accountant to learning the C-walk... it's all covered in this fun, light-hearted episode. Enjoy!

I lost my shit. Yep. It happens. This past week, I felt my mentally start to slow down, my actions start to slow down, and I felt myself slipping into a slump. But I had one impactful conversation with my coach and everything flipped for me. I was able to get my shit together and keep pressing forward. In today's episode, I share what I did to keep my head in the game and stay focused during this insane time.

The world is in a panic right now. If we were to lose everything, what would be left? You. Your health. This pandemic we are all experiencing is impacting absolutely every part of our lives. We should use this opportunity to lean into what's important which is our health. In this brief episode, I talk about how we can come out even better on the other side of this chaos.

Parenting is hard. Parenting while trying to better your life is even harder. In today's emotional episode, I open up about feeling sad at times. It's time we stop minimizing feeling sad or overwhelmed. It's ok. Feel it. Be in it. But make the decision to step out of it and keep prevailing.

From time management, feeling mentally weak, and continually minimizing myself and my accomplishments, I share some of my current goals and obstacles I am facing along the way. Everyone's path to success is different. My goal is to shed light on what goes into reaching a goal - the good, the bad and the ugly. Step into my life and see what I'm learning!

Enjoy this recording from a presentation I gave in January 2020 about goal setting and how we are getting it wrong. You set a goal but it seems as though everything is either getting in the way or going wrong. In this episode, you'll learn how to stay on track and actually reach your health and fitness goals.

The number one question I get asked is, "How do you do it all?" My response is typically, "I have no freakin' clue." Lately I have been paying attention to how I do actually make time for all of these things. Between working a full-time job, part-time job, building my business, health and fitness, personal care, being a mom, etc.... life can be crazy. Today's episode is a peek into my life and my schedule along with some tips and things that I do to help me get everything done!

Why is it so difficult to let go of your past? If you aren't proud of who you once were, why would it be so emotional to change and move on? In today's episode, I share one of my most emotional pastimes - my relationship with alcohol. I share how I am able to move on with my life and not let my past hold me back.

Growing up, I wasn't an athlete. I wasn't a sports all-star. I wasn't strong. I also wasn't healthy by any stretch of the imagination. It wasn't until April 2018 that I decided to explore the world of fitness. Once I stepped foot in that gym, I never looked back. Today's episode is all about my fitness journey from where I started to where I am today.

We are surrounded by distractions. In today's world, it's easy to be triggered by something as insignificant as a Facebook post or an Instagram photo. When you are working towards a goal, it's so unbelievably important to keep your head in the game and stay focused on what's going to get you closer to reaching that goal. However, it still happens. We get off track. In this episode, I share my recent experience with getting off track and how I got my mind back in the game.

It's so easy to get caught in the trap of doing everything for everyone except yourself. I realized in April 2018 that I was in that exact trap. I was neglecting myself and putting everyone and everything else first. So I tried something for the first time. I tried putting myself first. It changed my life. There are many obstacles that stand in the way of us choosing ourselves and putting ourselves first. This episode explains why we struggle to make this change and how to overcome it.

Setting a goal is one thing. Actually starting to work towards your goals is another. The first thing we question when we set a goal is "how". How are we going to do this? It can be super overwhelming and we can easily talk ourselves out of even taking the first step. In this episode, I share my common struggles I face when starting to work towards a goal as well as tips to keep you moving forward. Not sure where to start? Listen to this episode.

Happy New Year! It's goals season, baby. This is the prime time to set goals and typically, most people are setting some type of health goal. Goal setting is huge and all successful people set goals. However, there are a few important steps you must complete before setting goals. The first is figuring out who you want to become. This is so important because it gives you a target to aim for. This episode will walk you through how to future pace and figure out what the future version of yourself looks like.

2019 was deemed the year of courage for me. I made it a goal to be brave and courageous this entire year by putting my story out there in hopes to inspire at least one person. Over the past 365 days, I have achieved more than I thought possible. However, in order to win, you must lose. In order to achieve, you must fail. Today's episode covers some of the biggest lessons I learned in 2019.

Motivation is the biggest load of bulls*t yet we all seem to be searching for it! What we are truly lacking is self discipline. Why? Because motivation is a temporary feeling. Self discipline will get you to the finish line - every single time. In this episode I break down how to build self discipline so you can consistently show up and take the actions you need to take to get to your goals!

Energy effects everything in your life - the way you think, your ability to make decisions, your ability to do physical activities with your family or even for your job, your ability to be productive. It literally affects every single area in your life. But it isn't just "there". You have to generate it. In today's episode, we look at how to generate the energy you need to reach the goals you are striving for!

One of the top obstacles standing in the way of us reaching our goals is time. We don't feel like we have enough of it! In reality, we have enough time but we might not be prioritizing the things we need to get done in any given day. Being intentional with your time can be challenging, but in today's episode I walk you through a step-by-step process on how to manage your time and put yourself first!

In a recent poll on my social media channels, I asked my followers, "What are the top reasons why you aren't reaching your health and fitness goals?" Surprisingly, almost everyone had the same answers or at least a variation of the same answer: time, energy, and motivation. When I look back on my journeys to reaching goals - not just health goals but any goal - I realized that I, too, had faced these roadblocks. So here we are! This is episode one of four where I will dive into how to overcome the top three obstacles you may face while striving to reach your goals. After this mini-series, you'll be able to say, "Look out! Ain't nothin' gunna stop me now!"
