    Powerback 197: Don't feed the Zombie Groundhog (tips for when you're feeling down)

    Powerback 197: Don't feed the Zombie Groundhog (tips for when you're feeling down)

    I've been really sick lately, and this particular sickness has triggered some mental gunk that I was wholeheartedly not expecting.

    One of the things that I have found that brings me a lot of clarity and a lot of focus, and honestly just helps me to feel a lot better is to write and to guide other people. So, as I'm going through this process I decided to share it with you.

    Today's Powerback® episode is focused on not feeding your zombie groundhog. It is that creature that pops up kind of out of nowhere sometimes that just digs up every thought, worry, fear, and insecurity that you've ever had in your life.

    So, let's get to know our zombie groundhogs together. Because when you understand what this feeling is, what is trying to tell you, and how to navigate through it, you can eliminate some of that isolation, some of that feel-on-fire feeling when you're not really feeling yourself.

    We’ll go through:

    • The COVID symptom not everyone talks about: brain fog + zombie groundhog
    • Allow yourself to sit with the discomfort especially when it’s difficult
    • Get to know your zombie groundhog (listen to her message)
    • Don’t feed your zombie groundhog (at least don’t make it worse)
    • Don’t try to fix it! (how can you support yourself in this phase that you're in?)

    Powerback 196: 5 of my biggest business challenges (hint: they're all mind-related)

    Powerback 196: 5 of my biggest business challenges (hint: they're all mind-related)

    Building businesses over the last 16 years has not come without its own unique challenges.

    A couple of weeks ago, I got an email from a client saying, “Hey, would you be willing to share some of your biggest challenges that you've experienced in business?” and it sent me on a little bit of an introspective journey.

    The initial goal was to provide some insight and vulnerability for her. But I thought that If she's curious, maybe there are more of you that are curious, too.

    That's why, on today's Powerback® episode, I'm going to share the 5 biggest business challenges that I've experienced over the years, backed with how I have overcome those same things, in hopes to inspire and guide you if you're experiencing one of the same.

    We’ll go through:

    • Reframing how we look at challenges
    • Challenge 1: trusting myself, hearing my intuition, and acting on it
    • Challenge 2: people pleasing and trying to be everything to everyone
    • Challenge 3: knowing when it’s time to part ways with someone 
    • Challenge 4: complicating the shiznit out of things
    • Challenge 5: ME

    Powerback 194: Routines don't work for me - now what?

    Some people thrive on routine. If that works for you, fantastic! Keep doing it. But if it doesn't and you want to make a positive change in your world, but just can't quite figure out how to make something stick, then today's episode is for you.

    Forcing yourself to do something at the same time, every single day, all of the time can sometimes feel limiting, it can feel boring, and it just might feel like it doesn't align.

    So, how do you make a change without making a routine? How do you get something to stick and feel good about it?

    In today's Powerback® episode, I'm going to share a method that I've been using that has helped me to incorporate healthy things without feeling so boxed in because routine makes me want to run for the hills.

    We’ll go through:

    • Find something that works well for YOU
    • Change the label and refocus on the WHY
    • Evaluate if you have really given it a chance
    • Make sure to stack your habits
    • Use a bookend system: flexibility with bumper pads

    Powerback 193: Who are you outside of your roles and responsibilities?

    Powerback 193: Who are you outside of your roles and responsibilities?

    “I dare you to get to know who YOU are outside of your roles and responsibilities. You are your own person first.”

    I recently put up a Facebook post with these words. And boy, did that get the comment section lit up. A lot of people were saying “Yes, absolutely. It took me a long time to discover this, but I'm here.” Quickly followed with “I can't. I have too many children. I have too many responsibilities. Life is too demanding.”

    So, on today's Powerback® episode, we're going to break that down a little further. In fact, if I asked you to tell me who you are without describing your title, roles, or responsibilities, what would you say?

    We’ll go through:

    • I’m challenging you not to settle
    • You are your own person first and you matter
    • Cut the bullshit attachment to your roles and responsibilities
    • Make the time
    • Be realistic with yourself and reframe what's possible
    • Get to know yourself again

    Powerback 192: Should I Keep Going or Walk Away?

    Powerback 192: Should I Keep Going or Walk Away?

    If you've been starting to think maybe this is a thing, a person, or a situation that it's time to walk away from, to close, or to consider leaving, then today's Powerback® episode might just give you the final knowledge that you need to move forward.

    Only you can truly know when it's time to walk away from something. But today, we're going to walk through a few consideration points that will likely help you make a decision and move forward.

    Powerback 191: How to Prioritize Yourself

    Powerback 191: How to Prioritize Yourself

    How many times have you been like: THIS is the time this is when I'm going to prioritize myself. I'm going to start this new routine. I'm going to work out more. I'm going to take the class… You think about it and maybe you try it once or twice, but soon it becomes a distant memory.

    This a cycle in your life, right? It's something that you experience over and over again. Even so, there's still a part of you that's like, I'm ready to make a shift or a change, I'm ready to do something for myself. So, why the fuck can’t I seem to get around to it?

    Well, you don't prioritize yourself, because you're not prioritizing yourself.

    That’s why, on today's Powerback® episode, we're going to talk about how to break out of that cycle, so that you can actually begin to prioritize yourself and not feel so shitty about it.

    We’ll go through:

    • Excuses and making the sometimes your all the time
    • Shifting the narrative and your beliefs around prioritizing yourself
    • Taking action and leaning into the temporary discomfort
    • Being realistic and honest with yourself
    • How I’m prioritizing myself

    191: Pleasure, Orgasms, and Fulfilled Success with Ava Pikul

    Noteworthy quotes from this episode

    “We don't need to get to a certain point in our “healing process” to have fulfillment, joy, success, all of the things that we desire.”

    “Your subconscious mind creates over 95% of your reality. So, we can't even talk about bringing more pleasure and sex and fulfillment into our lives without addressing that first.”

    “Women can experience over 15 different forms of orgasm. And what we're normally experiencing is one of those, which is normally a clitoral orgasm, right? It's easier to locate. It's a more surface-level type of orgasmic experience.”

    “The G spot stores a lot of trauma. So, for a lot of women, when they start moving into working with this area of their body, they can start to have anger come up… So, it's really fascinating and interesting, the types of memories, emotions, and feelings that arise.”

    “You don't need a manifestation tool. When you are touching upon these deeper levels of your being and accepting yourself, magic is going to happen regardless.”

    Powerback 189: Getting what you want - Part 1

    Are you going to continue to talk about what you want, my friend? Or are you ready to do something about it so that you can actually have what you want?

    This week's Powerback® episode is the first in a two-part series.

    Today, we're talking about getting real about what you actually want because to know where you want to go, you must first own that within. We're going to get clear about what it is that you want. Then, we’ll start the process of cleaning things up so that you can have the space, capacity, and know-how to move forward.

    We’ll go through:

    • You are hungry for more, here’s what’s required to get it
    • What do you actually want? Playing in the space of what-if
    • Tapping into your dreams and why they matter to you
    • What is getting in the way of you achieving this thing?
    • An exercise to clean up some of the stuff that is stopping you


    In part two, which will be next week's episode, we’ll go into shifting the inner stuff that's stopping you from having it and begin to build an aligned action plan. So, don’t forget to tune in!

    Powerback 188: Always needing to be "on"

    Powerback 188: Always needing to be "on"

    Do you always feel like you have to be “on”, to be doing something, or being productive to feel good?

    Whereas if you're sitting still, enjoying life, or living at a slower pace, you start to feel guilty and you start to feel shameful. That’s when your to-do list runs through your head like a waterfall. You want to be able to relax, but your brain is telling you that you need to be busy.

    On today's Powerback® episode, we are talking about this feeling and giving you the tools so you can shift this and no longer have to continue to be busy for no fucking reason.

    We’ll go through:

    • A story of how this recently showed up for me
    • Undoing an old habit and building up a new healthier one
    • Get real with yourself about what you’re resisting and why
    • Introduce being “off” through intentional downtime
    • Catch it and shift it one small incremental step at a time
