Today I'm sharing something that one of my students FINALLY just friggin' did... She bought her dream car!!!

She first put it on her Vision Board in March of 2021 and now it's parked in her driveway giving her a little spark every time she sees it and especially when she gets to go out and drive it!

In this episode I share why she almost put the purchase on hold and how what she did is so common for us to do. It might even be something you are doing right now with something that you desire.

Listen in and hear how my probing questions led her to the aha moment she needed and the reason that was keeping her from taking the action she really wanted to take.

Finding the answer that was inside of her all along was key because it allowed her to move forward, not stay stuck in inaction, and build the confidence she needed to know that she has all it takes to make her own decisions and go after the things she desires. And by now having this lived experience, she's inspired others with her...

This lesson came from a combination of a guided meditation session AND an incident with my husband having to do with my new desk.  

This incident happened last weekend but the meditation session didn't come until 4 days later - I love delayed lessons that come from sitting quietly in a meditative state!

It was a message that definitely resonated with me and I needed to receive. And when I got that lesson, I knew I had to share it with my listeners.

This is one great example of why I love the guided meditations by Tamara Levitt in the Calm app. I usually get some kind of necessary lesson.

This particular guided meditation was called "Kind Communication" and my communication certainly didn't fall into the kind category last weekend. But fortunately I caught myself and self-corrected.

We're human so we often forget to lead with kindness in our communication because we do it to get OUR needs met (ego) vs. thinking about what the other person needs. So this lesson was a great...

In today's episode I share how valuable it was to be present as I vacationed with friends at the beach last week and the 4 examples that are so simple, yet most of us rarely do and when we do, we don't really tune in and appreciate those experiences.

Listen in and hear the other 3 things that truly made me feel so much more connected to the people around me and, more importantly, to myself. 

I came back from this short 5 day trip more relaxed, more peaceful, and continuing to be more present than I've felt in awhile. This experience made me realize that these present moments are all around us all day, every day, so I find myself, in my day to day, much more aware of when I feel myself too focused on what's ahead and hasn't happened yet or fretting about what's already happened.

And since I'm now so much more aware of how good it makes me feel to be focused on the present moments, I can more easily shift my mind there.

In today's episode I share a recent experience where I made an assumption that was totally incorrect about my husband. As you listen, let it be a reminder to you to always be aware of how your thoughts about a situation or person may in fact be absolutely incorrect, even if you don't believe them to be.

The definition of assumption is "a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof." But we THINK we have proof because we think our thoughts are fact.

How could your life improve if you began questioning your thoughts and giving others the benefit of the doubt?

Listen in as I share 5 tips that will improve the quality of your relationships and likely decrease conflict if you apply them when catching yourself in an assuming state of mind.

Here is the blog post I referenced on the episode: https://motherhoodcommunity.com/how-to-stop-making-assumptions-in-life-relationships-work/

And here is the quote I shared from Don Miguel Ruiz in his book "The...

This episode, as many are, was inspired by my own recent experience where I had a thought to send a card, but then I stalled on getting that nice gesture done. Do you do this too or am I the only oddball?!?!

Fortunately I didn't stall too long, or worse, follow through at all! I GOT IT DONE! But as I thought about my experience and how often I actually DON'T act on these thoughts, I realized it was a perfect example of something that fits into the category of "just friggin do it!"

Sending a thoughtful note seems like such a simple thing, a minor task that shouldn't take much time and means so much to the receiver, yet so many of us don't put that thought into action because we get caught up in our busy lives and bigger tasks that, in the end, probably don't matter as much!

So my ask of you today is to FOLLOW THROUGH on that nice gesture you've thought of but may not have acted on yet... Get that card, take a few minutes to write that message you've been thinking about, and...
