    enApril 04, 2022

    About this Episode

    Do you have big goals but absolutely no clue how you're going to get there? If so, this episode is for you. Today I'm discussing how to get started on achieving your biggest goals when you have no clue what you're doing.

    In this episode I discuss:

    • Getting scrappy and trusting that if you take the leap the net will appear
    • Giving yourself grace when you're new at something and embracing the suck when you're a beginner
    •  Investing in your goals by hiring help or outsourcing

    Remember, you don't have to have it all figured out you just have to take the next right step. Stop waiting to go after your goals when you have it all figured out, be brave and bold, get scrappy, ask for help and start today!

    Step Into Your Feminine Energy

    Step Into Your Feminine Energy

    Lately I have been operating out of my masculie energy and I am starting to feel stressed, tense, overwhelmed and burntout. The tips I am sharing in today's episode have helped me move out of my masculine and into the devine feminine. 

    Disclaimer, masculine and feminine energies have absolutely nothing to do with gender, every single person uses both. They're like yin and yang and there are seasons in everyone's life where one is needed more than the other. 

    The masculine energy isn't bad, it's what drives us forward, gives us the courage to take risks and drives us to achieve goals; however, getting stuck in your masculine energy can lead to anxiety because you try to control everything, cause stress because you're in fight or flight mode all the time, and lead to burnout due to constantly striving.

    If that sounds like you and you're wanting to move into the intuitive, creative, peaceful, and recieving energy of the divine feminine then this episode is for you!

    My Relationship With Alcohol

    My Relationship With Alcohol

    Lately I have been doing several sober stints and honestly I have loved it. I did the 75 soft, dry January and now I've given up alcohol for lent and in doing these periods of being sober I have decided that drinking really isn't for me. It is something that has never really served me and I also think a lot of it has just come with age so I just wanted to share my thoughts with y'all.

    This episode is in no way intended to tell you what to do with your life, you do what works best for you, but I personally have really started to look at the role alcohol played in my life and reevaluated whether or not I want to continue doing it. 

    I am so done with hangxiety, harming my health or spending tons of money on bar tabs. I have no intention of being sober forever but I do want to really take step back and start to change my habits around alcohol consumption.

    If you are someone who struggles with alcohol please reach out and get help because addiction is a disease, you can reach out to the American Addiction Center at 855-504-6815

But today's episode we're discussing the Growth Goal, one thing for your mental health.

    I have been on a journey for YEARS, but for the longest time I didn't incorporate mental health practices into my daily life. I have been in therapy for years and my therapist would give me habits, coping mechanisms, or tips that I just wouldn't do and then wondered why I wasn't getting better. It wasn't until I started making taking care of my mental health a part of my every day life that I really started to see changes and feel so much better.

    In today's episode I share small things that you can do every day to improve your mental health. These are things that have helped me immensely to completely change the way I think, pull myself out of dark places and grow so much as a person. With that being said, I am not a mental health professional, and if you are really struggling with your mental health I want to encourage you to reach out to a professional and get the help you need.

    If you haven't already make sure and go back and listen to the previous episodes in this Growth Goals series and make sure to come back for the rest of the month for a deep dive on the rest of the Growth Goals!
