Reflecting on my recent move to a new house, join me today as I explore the inherent stress and uncertainty that comes with change, drawing parallels between physical relocation and the emotional upheaval that occurs when unexpected circumstances force us to dismantle our existing realities. Together, we examine the power of deliberately directing our thoughts, embracing temporary discomfort, and trusting that even in the midst of chaos, clarity will eventually emerge.

It is officially Autumn, and as we gear up for Thanksgiving, I have been thinking about something that might just change so much for you. When I mention Thanksgiving, you're probably thinking about those family gatherings that either warm your heart or make you cringe. We all have that one person, like my client's brother-in-law, who seems to ruin every occasion, but here's the revelation - it's not their actions but rather our thoughts about their actions that shape our experience.

Listen in today as I dive deep into the essence of what it means to be human: having wants and desires. Desire is more than just a yearning; it's a fundamental force that shapes our lives, and I unravel the layers of our wants, exploring how they define us, push us to grow, and connect us to the universe's creative energy. I encourage you to challenge the notion that wanting is inherently negative, inviting you to embrace your desires as sacred whispers guiding you towards your true self. From the simple joys that bring a smile to your face to the audacious dreams that seem out of reach, discover the power of wanting from a place of abundance rather than scarcity, igniting your potential and enriching your journey, so settle in and join me on this exploration as we learn not just to want but to want boldly, unapologetically, and authentically, to listen to those whispers.

I want to share with you in this episode about how to really make lasting change in your life and in your work. I know we often think we need to get that perfect plan and perfect motivation first, but the truth is that action is what makes things happen.

Once we begin to act on our goals, the universe seems to cooperate and help us stay the course.

Join me in this episode as I discuss the various things that we were trained from a young age to believe that we might still believe today even though they don't serve us.

You may recall how I talked on the podcast back in January about my trip to a spa resort and what I learned on that trip. Well, on that trip, I met Dr. Melissa Sundermann, and I am so happy to have the opportunity to talk to her on this podcast.

We sometimes feel stuck, like we have goals that we feel we cannot reach, and sometimes, we really need to take a step back and ask ourselves what our beliefs are about our ability to make it happen. Everything stems from what we believe, so if we don’t believe in ourselves, we aren’t going to see the results that we want, and it’s just that - ourselves - in which we need to believe. If you are feeling overwhelmed, train your brain to create belief plans first before making action plans, and this is such a powerful move that will help you change how you view yourself.

We are here to always be learning and growing, so it is my hope that sharing a few of the key inspirational lessons that I learned from Anita’s class will be helpful to you as well.
