In today's episode we have Lori Mitchell back on the podcast to talk about how her journaling practice has supported her over the past year. Lori was on the podcast almost a year ago when she agreed to let us join her on her journey of creating a journaling practice. Today we check in with her so she can share her thoughts on journaling.
Loir is a fun guest because she is open, honest and shares some great takeaways for anyone wanting to try this amazing self-supporting practice. Check out the link below to her interview from last year.

In this episode I am talking about how focusing on the good multiplies blessings! Have you really thought about what you are focusing on?

When we don't think about it, we end up focusing on what we don't want to expand. The way other people annoy us. How our kids didn't put away their things. How our carpooling partner is always late! How it feels like you are the only one who empties the dishwasher!

What we focus on expands.

So when we focus on things that drive us crazy...well... you get the picture.

In today's episode I give you some ideas of things you can focus on so that they can expand in your life.

If focusing on the good multiplies blessings, then don't you think its worth a try?

What do you want more of?

Today's episode is about The Power of Choice: Your Authentic Path to Happiness.

Have you ever felt like life's demands left you with little room to choose, or maybe you've found yourself going with the flow, unsure of what you truly want? Well, I'm here to tell you that embracing your power to choose is your authentic path to happiness.

Join me as we dive deep into the transformative power of choice. In this podcast, we'll explore how every decision, whether big or small, shapes our happiness and fulfillment. I know it might sound a bit controversial, but trust me, when you take a closer look, you'll realize that everything in your life is there because of a choice.

Together, we'll uncover three key ways that actively choosing for yourself can lead to a happier and more fulfilling life:

1. Choosing Your Presence: Every day presents an opportunity to decide how we want to show up in our lives. By being present and mindful, we reclaim control over our experiences, ensuring that we align our actions with our values and intentions.
2. Authenticity versus Expectations: Let's talk about the pressure to meet everyone else's expectations and how it often leaves us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from our true selves. By embracing authenticity and prioritizing what truly matters to us, we can break free from the cycle of people-pleasing and live with greater integrity.
3. Taking Ownership: It's time to stop playing the blame game and start taking responsibility for our choices. Whether it's making decisions in the moment or accepting the consequences of our actions, owning our choices empowers us to learn, grow, and create positive change in our lives.

In the podcast I'm sharing some practical tips, and actionable strategies to help you embrace your power to choose and cultivate a life filled with joy and authenticity. From celebrating small victories to learning from setbacks, every step you take towards conscious decision-making brings you closer to your happiest self.

Are you ready to start making positive changes in your life?

In today's episode we are talking with Diane Sorensen. Diane is a Transformational Coach specializing in parenting and relationships.

Diane helps us figure out why we struggle in some of our relationships.

We learn about the Drama triangle and the 3 roles that we can find ourselves in. I was fascinated by this talk with Diane because a friend mentioned the rescue triangle to me a while ago and I think it can be a useful tool to understand how we keep getting ourselves into the same frustrating patterns when we are communicating with our loved ones.

Diane doesn't just explain the 3 roles to us. She gives us suggestions to recognize which roles we might be unknowingly settling into. Then she suggests a game plan to escape the triangle!

So much goodness in today's episode.

In this episode I am talking to Amber Frauenholtz about how to take back control of your health and your happiness this year.

Amber is a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), Restorative Wellness Practitioner (RWP), and Health Coach who specializes in helping women feel their best through custom, holistic health plans that start with food. She is passionate about helping others avoid the nutritional depletion and stress that accompanies being a woman in our culture today.

Amber specializes in helping people unlock their individual health and nutrition concerns. However, today she shares some easy wins ,and life hacks, that all of us can start with.

I loved Amber's contagious laugh, and I really appreciated that she encouraged us all to start with something small and achievable instead of getting stuck in the "all or nothing" perfectionistic mentally that can halt so many of us in our tracks.

I couldn't help but love Amber when she said, "I want to help women have access to the tools and the knowledge to help them feel their best." Amber is a kindred spirit and I am super excited for you to meet her in this interview.

In this week's podcast I am talking about setting yourself up to create some goals for 2024. Maybe you are like me and are having a slow start to this year.

I don't know about you, but I was holding myself back from setting goals.

In today's episode I shared a tool that really helped me combat my reluctance to create new goals and remind me to stay focused on the positive things I've accomplished. I was also reminded to learn from all my 2023 experiences, be they successes or failures.

I encourage you to try the tactic I share in this episode and would love to hear how it works out for you. I created a tracking sheet to help you with this week's challenge. Check it out in the resources below and let me know how it goes!

Resources I referenced this week:
Annual Highlight Reel - This is a one-page tracking sheet to keep your monthly wins and accomplishments all in one place.
