Someone said to me the other day, “ But 90% of people here do (insert drug)….”

This is someone who wants to be healthy, and change their ways. But they have decided 90% of people do THIS, “so it’s normal…right?”

You see this a lot with people who want to not drink, drink less, or at least not be pressured to drink…. They don’t want to drink, but then they do, and say, “Ya, but it’s the norm here, so…”…sooo… not my fault, right?

My response to the person that said “But 90% of people do (insert drug)…”

“Really?? That’s not my experience. Actually, with the people who I hand out, 0% of people do that drug. ZERO.”

So who are you choosing to conform yourself to?

This ⬆️ is how society works. So now that you know better, how will you do better?

Why do you blame other people for your own choices?

Why is it you feel you aren’t strong enough to walk away from what you say yourself isn’t good for you?

Give yourself more credit than that.

The only person who is going to change you, is you.

Yes, you are the average of the 5 people you hang around… but it’s up to you.

The only reason we don’t change, is because we choose not to.

Some people see red flags in relationships and end it.

Others see red flags and make excuses for it. They see potential in them, but not who they ARE.

(This is the first sign to look at what is going on inside of US.)

It’s ok to see potential in people, but “don’t give yours away”. People don’t become their potential unless we hold them to it. You have to let them grow into it…

This goes beyond “making our kids happy”, as it can turn in to showing them that we are “just as afraid of these emotions as you are” - setting them up for anxiety later in life… quite interesting!! (Around 1m30sec)

Emotional regulation is one of the greatest skills you can learn - (and it’s a life long practice) - learning to sit and be ok with all emotions - especially the ones we don’t like.

“Mom, after Africa…can we…”

😆 Yeah, yeah, we just got here but other than “Do you home school?”, the next comment/question I get most is about stability… how do you give a kid stability when you are always traveling?

It was one podcast, 4 years ago, that changed the way I feel about stability and security in general. I was dropping Rome off at daycare before work, listening to it in the car, burnt out, desperate to change my life, but finding it incredibly hard to leave what would have been considered a really good job…

And *somehow, this is related to giving children stability 😂 have a read!

​From the backseat of the car… “Mom, after Africa, can we go to China?” Oh, good, he knows we won’t be living here forever…but China?? “Oh…what’s in China, babe?”...

Put your hand up if this (video) sounds familiar…

Bosses - what are your thoughts?

Leaders - what are yours?
(Bosses and leaders aren’t the same thing!)

Employees - what do you think?

I’ve been on the employee side of this, I’ve been on the coach side of this (with clients who have been pushed over the edge by their bosses and feel under appreciated) but I can also empathize with the bosses who feel employees should work hard to move up in the company.

If you find you have employees who are “disgruntled” when you ask them something a long the lines of THIS, there is something else going on. I can show you a way to approach it to keep you both happy. (And you can apply this method over and over again to all the other “problems” in your office.)

If you have “disgruntled” employees who are already burnt out, this is going to push them over the edge - they won’t likely train the person the way you hope they would be trained.

People are people. Relationships are relationships.

One of the reasons I work with clients to better their romantic relationships AND the ones they have with work, is because they make up the bulk of our days and have the biggest impacts on our life - and essentially, the way we approach them, can take the exact same skills and mindset.

4 years in the making… soft launch part 1:

After “Moo, Baa, La la la” (if you know, you know) was stuck in my head at work, I got irritated that it was stuck in the wrong brain (the adult/parent’s 😂) and not the kids. I thought, if I’m going to get a kids book stuck in my head, could it at least be something helpful…?

We teach our kiddos to go to the doctor when we are sick, but do we teach them about how to take care of their bodies so they don't have to!

What signs are you ignoring?

That’s all. If you need to hear this, you already know… consider this a push.

Something that helped change my anxiety 👇🏼

It’s that time of year again… first day of school photos!

For Rome : first day of…Indian Summer 😆

(He wants to be a fireman and a fisherman when he grows up! )

Last year at this exact same time I felt mildly anxious. It was the first time where I really started to feel it, “Yep, we are doing things differently”.

Differently than who? Than “everyone else”. (Right. Compare. That’s an excellent way to invite anxiety into your life.) But also, differently than I knew growing up… (sometimes that’s the harder one to change, even when you want it 🙋🏼‍♀️)

This year, same circumstance, bigger changes, zero anxiety.

What’s changed?

“Trusting the process.”

There are 10 disciplines I’ve learned to practice over the past few years (the exact same ones I teach my clients) and every year, not only do I get better at embracing them, I also get to gather proof that it works!

“Trusting the process” is a huge one. Checking in with your values helps you understand the decisions you have made, but trusting the process is a practice that helps you stay PRESENT with, and OWN, the decisions you have already made. (And that’s the part that helps with the anxiety!)

If you often find yourself waffling back and forth between “Should I”, “Shouldn’t I” and “Am I sure what I’m doing it the best thing?”, REACH OUT, this might be one of the disciplines worth diving into for you.

To help you be more confident, worry less, be a bit more fearless, and therefore more present with the good day to day things going on in your current life, this system helps you figure it out.
