What It Really Means To Be Cool
Fierce Forward Podcast
What does it really mean to be cool? In a world that tells us “cool” is about popularity, perfection, and how you’re seen — I’ve learned that true coolness is something much deeper. It’s not about your outfit, your success, or how many people like your posts. It’s an inner energy. A calm, grounded confidence that comes from knowing who you are and standing fiercely in it — even when it makes others uncomfortable. This week’s episode of The Fierce Forward Podcast is all about redefining cool from the inside out. I’m also sharing the inspiration behind our new Fall...

info_outlineDo you ever feel like your life is running you and you just wake up every day spinning your wheels, not really sure you're going anywhere?
Chances are, if you've been feeling off track, lost or out of alignment, it's probably a simpler solution than you might think.
This is what happened to me and Mark, my husband and business partner. We were out of alignment, having arguments and I just felt so unhappy, like life was running me. Not the other way around.
We got honest with ourselves, came together, and realized it was all about how we were structuring our day and being intentional about what we spent our time on.
We created a schedule that has completely turned our lives around. It's been these 3 things we're sharing with you in this episode that we did to help us thrive as individuals and a team!
Key Takeaways:
- give yourself permission to create a day that works for you, your energy, and drives you in the right direction
- creating a day around you, your energy, and how you want to feel gives you the freedom to run your day!
- when you live with intention, you have more space to be free, have fun, and expand naturally into what's next for you
- life is better when you're in charge of your day
Episode Quotes To Live By:
- "We have to be warriors of staying in our own lane."
- "If you've not been good at creating boundaries in your life, when you create a schedule to follow and live with intention each day, IS creating boundaries for yourself to move you in the right direction."
- "It's easy to create things, but you have to continue them to be successful."
- "Organizing your days around what works for you gives you the freedom to do other things so it doesn't feel like your day is running you."
