Success After Excess

Hey and welcome back to this week's episode! This week I wanted to talk about fear and how to directly affects the decisions that we make when it's running us! I hope that you're dong amazing and thanks as always for taking the time to check out today's episode!

Welcome back for this weeks episode! When it comes to addictions there is one certainty and that is.... it doesn't discriminate! It affects people regardless of their race, orientation, financial status, etc. Addiction, although seemingly more prevalent in certain circumstances, can affect anyone given the correct variables are present. I've met a number of individuals who are adamant that addiction only affects a certain type of person with less than desirable attributes. The reality is that addiction will take on, and take down anyone that it can. It doesn't care what your bank account boasts, what brand of clothes you wear, what type of home you live in and so on. Thank you for checking out today's episode and I hope that you have an incredible week xx

Did you ever have a feeling that you were being lied to? I know I have! My addiction was one of the many false information locations in my life. Being battered and broken emotionally and mentally though, I tended to believe what it told me about myself... who I was... how other people saw me... where I was going... what I was worth... what I deserved and I can tell you that none of what it told me was good. Today I wanted to share a little something and that it... IT'S ALL LIES!!

Hello and welcome back for this week's episode! I was having technical difficulties getting this one up and working however, here we are all sorted! Thank you for your patience! Today I wanted to share some perspective around what we give up for addiction vs what we give up for sobriety. Thank you for tuning in and I hope that you enjoy! Have an amazing week and I look forward to chatting soon!

Have you ever heard the quote "A mistake repeated more than once is a decision."? I had not until the other day and it hit me hard as I used to live my life defying set words and wondering why the universe always rained down sh*t on my head. The truth of it all is that we keep being tried to learn the same lesson until we learn it and it sticks. I hope that you're having an incredible week and I hope that you enjoy this week's episode!

Welcome back to this week's episode!! Today I wanted to talk about the ALL or NOTHING approach and how there's an easier softer way to get where you want to go! Have an awesome week and as always, thank you for tuning in!

Alright so you may have heard this notion of "We all have the same 24 hours so there's no excuses!" Yes.... we absolutely all have access to 24 hours each day... no more... no less. I used to thrive on this idea but moreover, I used to truly believe it... One day though, it dawned on me that although we all have 24 hours a day, that does not mean that all of our 24 look the same. With that, I don't think we should use our circumstances as excuses to not chase our dreams, hit our goals and live a life that fills us up and sets us on fire. What it does mean though is that our circumstances might shift the path that each of us take to get where we are going, to achieve the outcomes we desire and so on. If we are going to grow, we need to be flexible.

Hello everyone and welcome to today's episode! Pity parties can be super easy to fall into but in all honesty, they're not loads of fun nor are they really helpful! It's always important to acknowledge our feelings and the circumstances surrounding them, however when we start to live in them, we are headed for trouble on multiple fronts! With that, let's dive into today's episode and thank you, thank you, thank you for tuning in and spending some of your time here with me!

Hey everyone and welcome back to this week's episode! First and foremost.... HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!!!!! On that note, what are we working for? Change! That's what we will be talking about today. Thank you as always for tuning in and I look forward to next week!

There are plenty of people in our lifetime that will lie to us and deceive us.... there are even certain institutions that mill offer their misleadings! In my personal experience though, nothing lies quite like addiction and that's what I wanted to chat with you all about today. I hope that wherever you're tuning in from, that you're doing well and that you know that you're not alone!

Hey everyone and welcome back for this week's episode! Today I wanted to talk about the effort that can go into addiction... It's like a full time job on steroids and literally giving it one's all to hit the required quotas. Looking back today... my life was exhausting... the lies, the fronts the upkeep of trying to convince the world that I was something else was overwhelming. Thankfully, todays is a different story! Thank you all for tuning in and I hope that you enjoy the episode!

Hey everyone! How are you all this week? I hope very well! So this week I wanted to dive into a concept that led my to a much needed emotional release recently. It was the realization or rather acceptance and acknowledgement that there was never and still is not something wrong with me. Rather, due to my genetic make up, coupled with my upbringing and experiences, I came to understand that things happened and on account of those things, More things happened, my addiction kicked into high gear and the destructive behaviours escalated. Now this wasn't a pass that excused all that I had done wrong so to speak, however it is the opportunity that I needed to see myself as someone who was sick and in in great need of help if I was ever going to get better. We all need a place to start and in all honesty... this was a huge jumping off point for me and perhaps it can be for others too!

I remember what it felt like to not feel worthy of love... I remember the guilt... the shame... all of the things that helped me reinforce the notion that I was not worthy. Once I sobered up things began to change though and I began to feel loved and started to understand how to love myself. It's been a process but just in case you're not sure... YOU are WORTHY of LOVE!

Hello all! This week I wanted to talk about knowing your worth! When I was in the throws of my addiction I settled HARD!! I was incapable of seeing my worth along with my potential... that being said, I was not getting my needs met, I was not growing and I felt 100% unfulfilled in EVERY aspect of my life. During my sobriety I began to learn the importance of worth, but also how to feel comfortable feeling worthy enough to acknowledge as well as step into my worth! It's something I work on daily and as is with most everything in life, the journey will be a continuous one as I hope it is for you!

Welcome to this week's episode! Today we are talking about not making exceptions for ourselves. Back when I was suffering in my addiction I was extremely good at making exceptions for myself aka, setting a standard and or goal for myself and then making it 100% okay to not meet set standard and or goal. I realize now that I was always seeking the easy way out and by allowing myself off the hook not only was a not taking responsibility for myself or my actions, I was also short changing myself so to speak... selling myself short. If that's a pattern that you're noticing in your life, let's chat about how we can make a shift so that you can stop giving yourself the short end of the stick and start receiving what you truly deserve!

Hey everyone and welcome back for another episode of Success After Excess! Thank you all so much for showing up and spending some time with me! It's always appreciated! Today I wanted to talk about getting to know yourself. I know for myself, when I was lost in my addiction, I had severed so many ties with myself, I hid myself, I hurt myself... I did not know how to be comfortable in my own skin and eventually had let my true self go. This meant that there was no chance in hell that I was going to find any semblance of worth, growth, happiness, fulfillment... nothing. I was pretending to be someone I was not and I was paying the price. Who are you? What do you like and dislike? What does your voice have to say? What are your needs? Your desires? Do you know what you need to thrive and grow?

Hello everyone and welcome back to Success After Excess! Can you believe that we are here in 2021?! I am so grateful that we made the best of the circumstances that 2020 brought us and honestly.... if any year was going to be the year to do it different... I think this is it! I've learned a lot over the past year and with that, I plan to crush this year with confidence! I can tell you that growing up, and for most of my life to be honest, I wasn't living much in the realm of confidence. Soooo with that, I wanted to share one of my little secrets to boosting my confidence when something and or someone comes along to try and crash my party. Life is short guys and time is fleeting... as we have all recently experienced, things can change in an instant. So let's not let any more time pass us by... lets not let fear make a wasteland of our goals and dreams... Let's make the most out of what we've got! YOU GOT THIS!! WE'VE GOT THIS!!!

Hey everyone and welcome to the final episode of the year! It feels odd to say given the circumstances of this year but despite it all.... this year went much faster than I initially envisioned it going! Here we are closing another chapter and here's to hoping that 2021 will contain some massive change that we are all doubt all seeking! With that, this week I really wanted to stress the importance of taking some inventory and bringing in the who and what that will serve you best this year and sending the rest of to packing, along with the last of this year! You are amazing, incredible, smart, talented, strong, capable and loved! Whatever you set out there for yourself, I promise that you have the ability to get out there and get it! Let's jump into 2021 strong and show this year who you are! All the best to you in what's left of 2020 and I am wishing you all an amazing start to 2021! I can't wait to catch up with you then! Thank you all for tuning in, sharing your time with me, sharing this space with me and for being straight up awesome! I can't wait to see what's in store! Take care, all the best and see you next year xx

Hello everyone and welcome back for this week's episode! Today I wanted to talk about something that crippled me for YEARS!! It's such a simple thing however like most simple things when they accumulate, they then become big things.... In this episode we are talking about making decisions based on our current circumstances and what it means for us down the road. Obviously that are certain scenarios in life that require people to make hard and fast decisions based on their current circumstances for their own safety and well being so please know that we are not talking about extreme situations like that today. I hope that you are enjoying your holiday season and I hope that you are taking care of yourself our there! Thank you for stopping by and tuning in and I look forward to catching up next week!

Hey everyone and welcome back to Success After Excess! Thank you soooo much for tuning in and this week I wanted to have a quick chat about getting prepped for 2021! None of us know what tomorrow holds, let alone an entire year, but I've got a good feeling about this one! If anything, 2020 has set us up to launch a level of growth and change that the world has NEVER seen before! We have been presented a unique opportunity to not only accelerate our personal growth and change but to also change the world in ways that have not been presented before! With that, now is not the time to wait! Don't wait until January to start setting your goals OR to start tracking them! Start NOW and kick off 2021 with an already cemented path to smashing goals and being well on your way to where you want to head!

Welcome to this week's episode and thank you all choosing to spend some time with me today! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it! I hope that your week is off to an amazing start and that you are safe and sound. This week I wanted to touch on something crucial and despite the title, it's nothing to do with the ball park.... it IS however to do with the people in our lives, no matter our level of interaction with them. Bottom line is we can't win 'em all and what I mean is, we cannot make everyone happy. Not only is it not our job, It is literally IMPOSSIBLE! I hope that you enjoy today's podcast and I look forward to checking in again next week! Until then, all the best!

Hey everyone and welcome back for this weeks episode! Thank you as always for tuning in! It's been a time... Covid hit our house and today is the first day in a near MONTH.... YES A MONTH, that the entire family is finally able to be out and back to our regular activities. This past time has been filled with lots of laughs, Super Mario Bros, baking and in all honesty, some truly challenging moments and days. That being said, despite not always winning, there is one tool that does have a huge impact and that is coming at things from a place of gratitude. It doesn't only allow for an improved mindset, but it has a ripple effect on everything else. It is literally the best bang for your buck so to speak in helping to shift things and turn things around! With that, I hope that you enjoy this episode and I hope that you're doing well! Also before I go, I have been looking for more ways to make our experience here more interactive as I would LOVE to get to know you all better! I would love to hear what you're up to, what you like about the podcast and also what you would like to hear about! If you're interested, you can find me on Instagram @kristen_muldoon Please don't hesitate to say hey! As I've said, I would love to be able to connect more with you and I will be launching more things in the near future and want to be sure that you are all able to tune in and take part. I look forward to chatting soon! Take care and all the best!

Hello and happy Monday! How are we all doing today? I hope very well! The last number of weeks here have been trying and that's the 100% truth. Covid came to visit our house and now that we are a week out from being done quarantine (2 separate quarantines that is on account of some household members testing negative), I can tell you that the countdown is on! With 2020 coming to a close, I have been continuing to keep my focus on where I am heading... where I see myself during the rest of our current circumstances, as well as where I will be after them. Hence today's topic of 'Action Plan' Without an action plan, our minds can take over and trust me, they will take us to places that we don't want to go. If we let our minds run wild, then they will and we will likely feel that our lives are following a suit, Having an action plan in place, and a touch of gratitude despite our circumstances, we WILL not only find a way out the other side of this, but we can also come out of this stronger and ready to take on anything! Have an awesome start to your week and as always, thank you for choosing to share some time here today!

Hello and welcome back!! Thank you for tuning in and I hope that your week is off to an incredible start! I know that last week was a little heavy and after some thought, I wanted to talk about some strategies that you can use to help cope with the cut so to speak. Creating change in our lives isn't always easy but I promise you that it's worth it! Have a great day and thank you for choosing to spend some time here today!

Hello and happy Monday! How are we all doing this week? I hope amazing!! So... today I wanted to talk about something that is near and dear to me and can be a challenge to say the least... today I wanted to talk about not only the importance but also the necessity of "Taking out the trash" Literally it's always a good idea. but figuratively it is as well. When I talk about taking out the trash, I am talking about people, places, things, thought patterns and or experiences that do not serve you, rob you of your happiness, diminish you as a person and so on. This can be a hard thing to do... trust me... it is something that I am still working on. People can and will challenge your actions and make you question your boundaries and make you feel as though you're dong something wrong... perhaps holding a grudge but I'm here to tell you that that's their own baggage and you, you are 100% entitled to hold that boundary strong!! I hope that you enjoy todays episode, thank you for listening and until next time, take care !!

Hello all and welcome to this weeks episode! Today I am getting straight to the point with insanity. I can tell you that I spent heaps of time stuck in repetitive cycles of insanity and they absolutely ruled my world. Thankfully, we don't have to live in these overwhelming and damaging cycles! There are healthy ways out once we recognize how and where insanity crops up in our lives! I hope that you enjoy and thank you as always for stopping by! All the best!

Hello everyone and welcome back for this weeks episode of Success After Excess! I am VERY excited for this one!! Ever remember hearing the phrase "Practice makes perfect!" Well guess what?!?! IT'S A LIE!!!!! When I came to understand that I had been being fed such a dose of unrealistic standards, it was SUCH a relief to be able to toss it away and breathe! FINALLY I could let go and honestly, feel some semblance of freedom! Now I'm not saying that I have just trashed all of my standards and don't utilize measurable tools to hit goals, what I am 100% saying is, that I have given myself full permission to take an unrealistic standard and pressure off of my back. I heard a new phrase that suits much better and that I choose to go by now and it is "Practice makes way for progress!" So on this Monday, take a deep breathe, give yourself a break and happily crush your week!

Happy Monday everyone and thanks for checking out this weeks episode! It's a hot topic at the moment and in my opinion, rightfully so! We are all individually facing personally unprecedented times coupled with a dose of uncertainty. Generally it's always a great idea to do personal check ins and also check in with those around us because.... well because sometimes life is trying and sometimes even though we might need help, we don't always ask for it. More than ever, I think that it 's imperative that we are not only being honest with ourselves and others about where we are at and what we need, but that we are also making sure that we are extending our hand to those around us by checking in with them. Not only does this simple action help us get out of our own scenario and goings on, it also opens the door for someone who might really need that helping hand. It's also incredibly powerful what a little connection can do for a person!

Hello and welcome back to this weeks episode! Today I wanted to talk a bit about the comparison game and how it 100% hinders our ability to get out there and crush it like only we can! Sure, there are some heavy hitters in this world that are breaking it down like no other but guess what? So what?! YOU are here for a reason and you have something uniquely your own to share with this world! Nurture the one and only incomperable you and get out there and leave your mark in a way that only you can!

Hello, happy Monday and welcome back for this week's episode of Success After Excess! So many times in life I have found that I can get caught up in very cyclical and unhelpful thought patterns and or behaviours.... I am happy to say that I have recently opened myself up to a new method and I am SOOOOO grateful that I did! Meditation was something that I was never drawn to in the past. I considered it and had tried it some but never really felt that it had any value for me. Looking back though, I know now that I never really gave it a fair go. This past week though, that has changed and not only do I realize that meditation is not what I thought it was, but it is changing my life! With that, let's dive on in!

Hello and happy Monday! How's are you this fine day? I hope fantastic! Fall has been kicking into high gear here however our weather is about to take a hard turn straight into Summer today with temperatures reaching 27! Despite having a back that is making the simplest of things challenging today, I'm going to get out and enjoy it! Why? Well because it's important to move for me so I can keep my headspace where I want it and fresh air is the best! On that note, today's episode is talking about self care! It's something that I feel the importance of cannot be stressed enough, especially in the days of now. I hope that you enjoy and if you aren't taking some time for you now, you will feel inspired to do so! Thank you as always for choosing to spend your time here today and I hope that you have an amazing week!

Well good morning! I apologize for getting this week's episode up on the late side. It's been a super busy day so far! In this episode I was wanting to touch on habits. Why? Well aside from being incredibly important for various reasons, during this time in the world, mine became glaringly obvious! Without the regular fast paced distractions readily available, I was able to see my habits and what they were doing for me and surprise surprise, they weren't as effective as I had initially convinced myself. I hope that you enjoy and I also hope that your week is off to a wicked awesome start! Thank you as always for coming and sharing some time here and I look forward to next week! All the best xx

Hello and happy Monday!! Ever had an interaction with someone that resulted in you writing off the emotional and or mental integrity of the remainder of your day? I know I have! There have been many a times where I have handed over total control to another person and every single time it's resulted in disaster! In today's episode we are chatting about triggers and why we need to be the ones in charge of them. Thanks for tuning in and here's to having a great week! Enjoy!

Hello everyone and welcome back for this week's episode of Success After Excess! How are you all doing as of late? I hope well! Myself? I've been doing well for the most part.... however if I'm being completely honest, I've had an old habit that's been cropping up that I wanted to share because I don't think I'm alone in my feelings. I've been noticing that I am getting upset over things that I used to be able to look past... I'm noticing that old behaviours are rearing their heads and I want that about as much as I want a bad rash! With that, I came across a quote that hit it home in a big way! It was "Flexible people bend without getting bent." And that, is exactly what we are going to chat about today!

Well hello there!! It's been a minute is an understatement but with that, I am 100% BACK and on track! What a time to come back in as well right?! To those of you that have been here since day 1, those of you that have simply popped on by and jot those of you that are showing up now.... THANK YOU!! I am absolutely grateful to you all for choosing to show up and to share your time and this space with me! Things have been off the wall and I am so happy to be here with you all just diving right back into it! Happy Monday and let's jump right in!

Hey everyone and welcome to episode 71! I hope that you've been having an incredible week so far! Today I am talking about allowing ourselves to be interjected into situations which do not concern us. This happens at times by choosing to involve ourselves in other peoples business and other times, people can lean on us to mediate and or try to have us handle a situation for them. As nice as it is to be helpful, the issue that arises in scenarios like these is that one, we step out of our lane so to speak by putting ourselves in a situation that we do not have a place in. By doing so, we typically end up becoming responsible for the outcome of the situation and are now responsible for the ever pending backlash and likely inevitable upset. Also, we now have the unpleasant task of juggling emotions and stress that were not our burden to begin with. It is SO important to make sure that we are holding ourselves accountable and in situations like these, we can ultimately offer support, however it is not our responsibility or place to get involved. We end up typically paying negative consequences that were inevitable altogether. Some people may become agitated when we decline to involve ourselves, but it is imperative that we are not crutches for others and thus putting ourselves in danger of suffering from much undue stress and possible overwhelm. We are all responsible for OUR own lives and the outcomes of OUR own behaviour and actions. Thank you as always for tuning in and I hope that you have a fab rest of your day!!

Hello all and happy Friday!! How are you today? I hope that you are all doing amazing and that your weekend is off to a great start! It's a long weekend here and we are getting a solid break from consistent rainy weather, and with that, I am pumped!! Today's episode is based on a quote that I came across and it was talking about not allowing our current circumstances to dictate our mood and or how we feel. At the end of the day, regardless of what is going on in our lives or what is going on around us in the world, we are 100% able to control how we feel and interact with ourselves and the world. Absolutely we are entitled to feel off, have an off day, feel emotions around something and or someone however the accountability of how we feel and moreover, how we choose to manage those feelings, our mindset and our perspective/perception, is 100% up to us. So if you're feeling like a thought, an emotion and or a situation is starting to run your day then I encourage you to hit the pause button and give some honest thought as to the source of what is really driving things because 1. what seems to be the issue is very rarely the issue and 2. then you are able to source out the root of what is really going on and start seeking out some solutions so that you can move forward without letting outside circumstances drive your day!

Hey everyone and welcome back to episode 69! Before we dive in I just wanted to say thank you thank you for tuning in and I wanted to give a little update. For those of you that have been listening along, I am due to greet my baby soon and with that, am going to be scaling back from five podcasts a week to two. In the meantime, as mentioned in previous posts, I am working on some other things that I am so super excited to share with you all!! SO, back to today's episode! I heard Dwayne Johnson talking about his favourite quote and it was "It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice." I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE THIS!! It's true that people will never forget how you made them feel and bottom line, if you're genuinely putting your best foot forward and treating people with kindness, it is inevitable that not only will you have better relations with others, you'll absolutely be responsible for improving someone else's day while simultaneously improving your own, right along with the very quality of your life! It's incredible how far even a little bit of kindness goes! In all honesty, we rarely know the true depths of another's struggle, especially when it comes to those we do not know, but the one thing that I do know, is that we are all human and most of us want the same things. We all want to be loved, to feel important, to be wanted, to be needed, to be special and we want to be good enough! Trust me, we can all feel a little more validated when we are kind to one another, even when.. come to think of it, especially when it is toward someone who appears to not deserve it.

Hello all and happy Monday! I hope that your week is off to an awesome start! In today's episode I wanted to talk about what you are doing to move the needle for yourself? To grow, to motivate, to inspire and so on! I chose to talk about some of the simple things that I have incorporated and am continuing to incorporate into my life to help myself, and I would LOVE to hear back from YOU! Not just in regards to today's episode but for others as well! Shoot me a message and let me know what you're liking and what you would love to hear about! With that, thank you for tuning in and I will see you tomorrow!

Good morning all and happy Thursday! I hope that you're all doing incredible and I am super pumped to be here today! This episode is all about who's standards you are choosing to live your life by. With the pressures to be accepted and loved, increased by our use of social platforms, it can become SO super easy to compromise our own standards and start adjusting to fall in line with the standards set by others. If we looking for the best version of our self, high quality relationships and happiness though, we absolutely NEED to clarify, acknowledge, set and stick to our own standards! "It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you are not" Be true you! ALWAYS!!

I am looking forward to continuing on with new content next week and as always, am incredibly grateful to be sharing this time with you! I will upload part 5 this evening and will be back on Monday!

As I mentioned moments ago, here is episode three of my origin story! I am happy to be breaking into the changes that eventually took place and how much they truly affected myself and my life in more ways than I could have EVER imagined! I am hopeful that by being transparent with you all that you're able to feel like you're getting to know me better! Thank you for allowing me to spend this time with you today and I look forward to connecting with you all tomorrow!

Good morning everyone! Welcome to part two of my origin story and as always, thank you for tuning in! I hope that you're having an incredible day and week! I thank you for your patience and I hope that you are enjoying the podcast so far! I will be uploading another episode straight away and will be back tomorrow with part four. I am going to wrap up the origin story this week and behind the scenes, am continuing to work on some other projects for you all!

Good morning everyone and my sincerest apologies for not getting this up sooner. I was having some issues with the recording lengths and finally after several attempts, I've sorted things. Thank you for your patience and here is part 1 of my origin story! I thank you all for tuning in and I am hopeful that this story will give you a deeper insight into my story and into what has shaped me as an individual and provides some background as to how my journey has unfolded and ultimately led me here. I hope that your week is off to a great start and I look forward to sharing more with you as the week progresses. Take care and all the best!

Hello all and welcome to episode 61! Thank you for tuning in today! Have you ever worked incredibly hard towards a goal and or outcome, only to have it go sideways or not pan out the way that you had planned and or envisioned? In all honesty, how easily did self doubt, fear and or inadequacy creep up? Probably light speed! It makes it so easy to give up on ourselves in those moments however it is crucial in those times that we look to where we started and celebrate how far we have come!!! Winning doesn't always mean being first. Winning means you're doing netter than you've done before - Bonnie Blair Although I do not typically I do not post on the weekends, I am putting up more origin story and am going to plan the first segment tomorrow. I did recorded the story in one go, however it is painfully long! I love the time that we spend together and want to ensure you guys are happy! I will post the rest of my origin story on Monay!

Welcome everyone to episode 60! Have you ever hears the saying "Whatever we do we do for a feeling"? That's what the focus of today's podcast is. It inspired me because it fits SO incredibly well with excessive behaviours. Typically we end up caught in a pattern of excessive behaviour either trying to recapture and or discover a feeling and or to numb out feelings. It is amazing what we will do for a feeling! I know for myself, I lived in a cycle of insanity for a long long time. I was hopeful that what I was doing would gain me different results... that somehow things would just be different. It turns out, that approach wasn't working for me and I was the last to find out! Looking at the vehicles that we use to feel something is a good start to assess whether or not we are heading in an effective direction or whether we are driving ourselves into a place where we don't necessarily want to be.

Hello everyone and good morning! How are you doing today? I hope fabulous! The sun us shining here - FINALLY - and I am SO incredibly grateful! Welcome to episode 59!! Today I am focusing on the importance of knowledge as it truly is the key to growth! Think back to when you were a child and began learning say the alphabet. It starts out simply being able to identify letters and then learning their sounds. From that, you learn how to identify words, write your name, read and then construct sentences, perhaps write poetry, convey your thoughts and feelings through words. The same process applies to life. The more knowledge that we can obtain in regards to skills and tools, the more that we can not only learn, but the more that we can grow. The more that we can then strive to higher levels, larger goals and a better quality of life! Learning is a process that takes time and patience however as with anything else, if we remain diligent and consistent, we will be amazed at the results that we can obtain and just how incredible life can be!

Hello everyone and welcome back! I hope that you all had a great weekend!, It was a long weekend here and we made the most of it despite the delayed warm weather that we are having. Thank you all for tuning in to today's episode! I was inspired today by a quote by Tony Robbins and it is "A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you truly haven't decided." How true is that?! I know for myself that procrastination, fear and a lack of belief in my self and my abilities lead me to not follow through on so many things, while simultaneously finding reasons "why" it didn't work out the way that I had hoped and or planned. Bottom line, I was justifying my lack of commitment to these decisions and when I look back now, I see the potential of where I could have been and what I could have accomplished. Being able to utilize a new found perspective now means that I can move past those whys and start to produce results in my life! It's incredible what happens when you have hope AND a plan! With that, I am currently working on some projects that I am very excited about and they are for YOU! I cannot wait to share more with you all in the future and I am SO incredibly excited!! Thank you all for tuning in! I cannot tell you how much I love being able to share time with you and I hope that you have an incredible rest of your day!!

Good morning all and happy Friday! Thank you SO much for tuning in today and I hope that your day is off to an incredible start! I was going to post my origin story today but ultimately decided that I wanted to put a little more time into it, so I will be posting it next week. Today I wanted to talk about the impact of our speech on the outcome of things in our lives. I know that sometimes things like that come off sounding hokey, but TRUST ME when I say, it has a HUGE effect on the outcome of situations as well as on our mindset, drive and overall success! With that, I hope that you enjoy today's podcast and that you have an incredible day and weekend! I look forward to connecting with you all on Monday! Take care and all the best!

Hey everyone and welcome to today's episode where we are talking about stunted growth.  This was something that was important for me to talk about as it was very prevalent in my growth and transitions.  What I came to discover with my addiction was that most of my strategies and coping mechanisms were stunted to a time in my life where my addiction really started to form. With that, although they would have served me well at that stage in my life, they were no longer serving my however I was in the dark about that. I could not figure out for the life of me, why I struggled so much on life, felt so much resistance and could not just deem to get with the program so to speak.  Looking back now I understand that I was stunted emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Once I became aware of this, I ws able to start tapping into resources that allowed me the opportunity to learn and grow so that I could approach life, in all aspects, with a new perspective and fresh tools that allowed me to really start to build and cultivate healthy relationships and patterns in my life.  Looking back now I understand that I was stunted emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
