Wellness Tips for Any Season - Including Holidays
Do You Have The Guts?
I am delighted that you are here. We are talking about the courage, the guts, the strength to do the holiday season a little bit differently today. We're talking about, you know, having an indulgence here and there, but not throwing in the towel for the season. These 5 tips apply to ANY holiday season, or any season of life that gets hectic and wild. Throwing in the towel around October was me for so many years, and I'm here to encourage you not to be like me, not to be like the old me, and to find a little bit of balance in between there. Let's indulge, but let's...

5 Things You Didn't Know About Hydration
Do You Have The Guts?
Thank you for tuning in. Today we are online with one of my most favorite friends ever, Dr. Chris Stanley. Chris and I have both lived through severe autoimmune diseases and found healing and wellbeing through nutrition. Hydration is a key component for us both, we’d even consider it a ‘macro’ to count and understand if you’re serious about feeling good and having a body that works for you. In his physical theraphy practice, Chris often recommends hydration protocols for post operative patients and individuals looking to increase mobility alike! Our level of hydration plays a...

Sneaky Perfectionism
Do You Have The Guts?
Today we are discussing a new perspective on perfectionism, emphasizing the idea of not measuring success against an ideal but measuring it from one's starting point. I discovered this concept in the book The Gap & The Gain by Dr Benjamin Hardy & Life Coach, Dan Sullivan. This book is a must listen for business AND life in general. We are going to highlight how comparing oneself to an ideal can lead to feelings of inadequacy and dissatisfaction. Instead of comparing ourselves against an ideal, let's begin measuring progress by reflecting on how far we've come and by celebrating...

Navigating A New Season of Wellness
Do You Have The Guts?
Links: Addressing the frustration of not being able to get things done is first and foremost on the agenda for season 2. And honestly, the how to on this is very surprising. I’m also hoping listeners can relate to being stuck in indecision city. I had too many choices. Too many goals. Too many priorities. And I began the art of letting go, once again. Dieing to the old way of things or the old version of myself is never easy. Worthwhile, but never easy and quite shocking when realizing what is happening and why. Do You Have The Guts Focus Season 2 Season 2 is focusing...

Commitment.
Do You Have The Guts?
We think we are committed. We think doing pretty good at all the things that support our goals in life most of the time is good enough. We are not quite satisfied with our results, but the effort going into them seems somewhat profound and prolific even if you’re overcoming habits. I’d like to offer the idea that this story we are living isn’t true. That cycle of 98% effort, unintentionally falling away from the habits that are pushing us forward towards well being…that cycle of stopping and starting again…THAT is what is truly exhausting us.

Belief. How to believe in yourself.
Do You Have The Guts?
Today is all about belief. Finding belief in you. Maybe this is a struggle for me over the last week or so because I am in the exact same process of digging deep to find belief in myself. Now if you are living on purpose, you’re always growing. That means you might have to stop and dig up belief when you need it. Becoming someone new, or transformation, required belief. Who I am today is a completely different version of me that who I was a year ago today. I am doing new and different and uncomfortable things. I am figuring things out STILL! Even when you believe in yourself, when you grow...

REAL Self Care & How to do it.
Do You Have The Guts?
My history with self care was relatively non-existent until the last few years. I suppose it really began in 2019 with consistently taking care of my body…by late 2020 I was 100% committed (vs 98% committed which we will discuss in a later episode!!!) Getting to the point of wellness where I was able to consistently take care of my body was a huge journey in my pursuit of self care. The realiziation that consistency wasn’t all will power and that discipline actually created freedom I also needed a dream team which I cultivated first with a chiro and acupuncturist. ...

The One Thing...
Do You Have The Guts?
Episode 19 is all about well being and what piece of the puzzle you might be missing so far. If you’re looking to change or transform your life, that is a big endeavor. It’s probably going to take a few skills or essentials that you don’t have yet. Love Maybe you’re missing love. The first thing we think is yea, I am lonely. I wish I had that special someone in my life. But that is not what I am talking about. Are you missing love for you? Do you like yourself? Do you love yourself? Do you hate yourself. Each feeling offers a very very different platform with regards to...

Reflection. A little known superpower.
Do You Have The Guts?
Reflection is a powerful tool that can work for you in many ways if you take time to indulge in its superpower. What we’re learning today is how to utilize reflection on a regular basis to improve results and mindset in our daily lives. This episode is rich with stories and examples of how reflecting, finding the wins and noticing our thoughts leads to the results we have been seeking or the understanding that we’ve been seeking. Reflection: What it looks like, how it works, and how it serves you. I thought I’d take you guys down memory lane with me as I reflect upon...
info_outlineHave you heard people talking about owning the day and thought that’s a luxury for others - not for me? I’m offering a new story today - one that says that is not true. Getting what you want to get done instead of the world around you running you in circles is possible - and even if you start small, it still feels GREAT.
Living on purpose is all about owning the day vs the day owning you.
Let’s get down to why knowing your priorities in 3 categories of life and WHY having daily routines or rituals matter. Spoiler alert…once you get going with this, it amplifies your time. Sounds crazy, but it’s true.
Drive The Day in Your Preferred Direction
This episode is the foundation for owning the day and driving it in the direction you are steering to accomplish tasks that are important to you. Yes, a LOT of our time is held captive by work and responsibilities. Not all though. If we know what’s our priorities and what is most important to us, we can carve out half an hour to one hour to move the needle forward on life to-do’sthat matter.
In this episode of Do You Have The Guts, we are going to break it all down and figure out how to get started.
I call this idea of living on purpose several different things.
-
Owning the day
-
Creating the day
-
Living with intention
-
Living on purpose
We will talk about how, what to do when your plan is interrupted and how this way of living allows us to find that joy in the journey we hear about all the time. It’s not about the destination, but the journey… right? The way to find joy in the journey is celebrating the smallest of wins, and those are so much easier to find when we are living with intention and working from a checklist of what is important to us as we grow in this life.
