Email doesn’t cause your stress; if you think about it, email just sits in a virtual cloud and yet why do we let something such as email, bother us to the point where we can’t have a perfectly normal day without wondering, “I wonder what’s happened this time?”. The problem AND the answer is inside our brain. We’ve conditioned our brain to respond with stress - even before we’ve touched our phone to see WHO or WHAT the email is about. Crazy isn’t it? The good news, you can decondition your brain just as fast as you’ve trained it to respond with stress, and I break it all down for you inside this episode. You don’t want to miss it!

You’d think with having more time and LESS physical obligations, LESS people to worry about, and LESS places to go, that naturally your stress would slightly follow suit and decrease as well. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case for many people around the world and that is because our brains never stop working and LOVES to solve problems. And just because there’s less to do, doesn’t mean there’s less for your brain to focus on. In fact, have you noticed that even the smallest things have gotten the best of you? Things that may not have otherwise bothered you PRE-pandemic? OR, have you been noticing old, not-so-good habits coming back to life? Habits such as biting your nails, snacking, or drinking too much wine? Don't worry, there's a reason why this is happening and I talk about it this week on the podcast. Introducing Pandemic Sensitivity. It's when our brains start to find problems in even the slightest things that we might have overlooked when our life was "normal", hence the sensitivity. And until we

Do you ever tense up when you see notifications, bolded emails, or unanswered phone calls? And because you feel this way do you ever wonder to yourself, “What the heck is wrong with me?”. In this week’s episode I’m sharing why it’s so important to recognize when we have thoughts, feelings, and reactions that are simply based on circuitry, instead of making our reaction MEAN something negative about who we are or that something has gone terribly wrong. When we live in malfunction vs. recognizing circuitry we start adding unnecessary stress in our lives that ultimately result in dysfunction. Stop the unnecessary stress, listen now.

Unlike physical pain, so many high performers have a much higher tolerability to mental pain. With mental pain, no one can see it, detect it, and unfortunately so many of us discount our very own stress, anxiety, and worries which only leads to even MORE mental pain.

Listen in as I share my take on your questions around how to feel confident, meeting work expectations, how to tackle the fear of failure, and more! Some of the common themes I notice in many high performers is that it’s far too easy to change the circumstance or take more action in order to feel better because… well, we can! As a high performer it’s easy to do the work, even if it means taking more time to do so. However, what you’ll learn inside this episode is that just because you do the work, doesn’t mean you’ll feel better. In fact, I’m going to show you why managing your brain and doing thought work is the ultimate key to lasting success. Listen now and share this with someone you love.

Are you unknowingly draining your mental and emotional energy throughout the day without even realizing it? Ever feel constantly scattered, unproductive, and unfocused throughout the day?

In this episode I’m sharing one of the fastest ways to call back your energy so that you can focus on exactly what’s in front of you.

When we aren’t managing our thoughts it’s easy to start wondering, “What’s wrong with me?”, especially when we KNOW, intellectually, that nothing is THAT bad. And we start searching for obscure articles on google trying to find the answer for why we feel terrible despite having a perfectly good life. Ironically, because this action presupposes that something is wrong, we end up perpetuating feeling terrible when the truth is, nothing is wrong and all we had to do was manage the thoughts in our brain! In many of the cases I’ve seen, the reason why we feel like there is something wrong with US, is because we’ve unintentionally started suffering without a hard circumstance. This looks like asking all the wrong questions that inevitably have terrible answers for circumstances that haven’t occurred yet. Such as the future promotion, potential relationship, finances, etc. Listen as I explain why we need to create a new circumstance so that we can work from the facts instead of suffering in our own thoughts. It’s al

What if I told you that the reason why we seek approval is because we don’t approve of our own self first? Think about it, if you 100% believed in yourself, ideas, product, and services, it wouldn’t matter what anyone thinks because you believe in yourself first. On the other hand, if someone else’s thought is supporting YOUR THOUGHTS of disapproval or doubt of what you have to offer the world, then to the unmanaged brain, it becomes second nature to constantly seek the people who DO approve so that we prove to our own selves that what we have to offer is valid and worthy. The only problem is that there will always be someone who disapproves. Listen to this episode where I share what approval is and how to stop seeking it so that you can stop spending your precious time and energy on other people, and invest it in yourself instead.

This one simple mindset shift might be the difference between staying STUCK in fear, worry, and doubt, to getting back into the ZONE and into alignment. Most people who remain struggling and stressed center their attention on the “Why” questions and thoughts. And once we overstay our welcome in the “Why”, we end up in massive resistance that holds us back from showing up as our future selves who ultimately holds the solution. Because let’s be honest, your future self isn’t wondering “why”, they are taking aligned action because they see the solution! Listen as I share one simple mindset shift that will help you to re-frame your specific situation so that you can show up as confident, free, and as the author of your own life.
