How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast
It’s back to school and back to routines and for me that means a new season of podcasting and starting this one off with how to maximize our time while our kids are in school. Insane to say but I now have a high schooler and in my many years of having school age children I’ve learned so much about how to use this time to have time for yourself, get the things done that you need to, catch up with people that you love, fitness & nutrition, take care of appointments and errands… without wasting any time. My goal of this podcast is to give you a really helpful...

333. How To Be Awesome At Not Having FOMO
How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast
How To Be Awesome At Not Having FOMO This is one huge deep dive into FOMO. The fear of missing out and why I think it can quietly steal your peace, confidence and joy if you don’t have a plan for how to think about it. Lots of things I talk about on this podcast, I’m currently also working on becoming awesome at the thing. This is one of those things that I’ve got down. I don’t have FOMO ever and I don’t get my feelings hurt if I wasn’t invited somewhere. Not that either of these things are bad feelings - I don't actually...

329. How To Be Awesome At Creating A Totally New Healthy Normal
How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast
I feel like there is this shift in what used to be the habits and routines of “extreme biohackers” or “health gurus” and now those same things have become part of a lifestyle that people are adapting to make it their new healthy normal. What we eat, how we move, what we focus on, how we approach health & supplements & body recovery, having a low stress lifestyle - all of it. This is - my opinion - the best ever cultural shift… because it makes us all healthier, happier in our day to day because we feel great and we will live longer and age better....

How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast
If you spend 18 minutes a day — focused on learning or practicing a skill, you will become better than 95% of the population at that skill. That’s the 100 hour rule. It’s about consistency and this concept of small daily progress that compounds over time. Jesse Itzler popularized this concept and it shows that you can become great at anything you’re willing to put 100 hours towards. You don’t need more time. You need more intention. In this episode I’m pulling out so many of the highlighted sections from...

How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast
We took Parker and the girls and a few buddies to Dave and Busters a few weeks ago and there was this small thing that happened that has been a huge perspective shift in my life. it's worth a podcast episode.

326. How To Be Awesome At Recognizing Aging VS. Neglect
How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast
The craziest thing that I’ve learned over the last year of reading and re-reading aging and longevity books is that much of what we think is natural aging is actually neglect. My goal in this episode is to reframe what we assume or are told is “natural aging” or “just getting older” and show all the small things that we might be neglecting over time. This whole concept is so empowering!! Rather than feeling like we aren’t in control of how we age, we realize that we are actually in control of so much of it. Focusing on all the tiny things we...

325. How To Be Awesome At Low Cost & High Impact Party Ideas
How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast
In this episode, I’m sharing the best tips for maximizing your budget when it comes to party planning - especially kids parties. I have this way of doing it that’s efficient and organized and easy to decide what’s worth paying for and what’s better to do yourself. I’m sharing specific examples from the Party I just threw for Parker because I think it will give you lots and lots of ideas for the parties you plan in the future. This one was a baseball and ice cream theme so I definitely needed ice cream cones. I got two quotes for companies to scoop...
info_outlineEvery year around my birthday I’m like, ok, what’s the secret unlock at this age? Like what have I learned and what I am doing that makes the biggest difference in my life?
This year, that skill that I’ve unlocked in myself this ability to turn what feels like the worst thing, into the best thing.
In a very practical and realistic way.
So aside from anything really really sad in life, this strategy allows you to get out of thinking and saying how much this sucks or is unfair or is the worst thing that could happen. And flipping it to- how could this become the best thing?
I’m going to fully explain it because once you set yourself up like this - it’s crazy how you can see the same situations completely differently.
It’s saying to yourself, this sucks, and it’s not at all what I wanted. But, how could it actually be the best thing?
You have to listen to this full episode - it’s 20 minutes or so that will change the way you react when things go sideways.
Things that are awful - like getting fired or someone breaking up with you or you don’t get the promotion or don’t get into the college or high school that you wanted. You sprain your ankle and can’t workout for 3 months and it’s your favorite thing..
This is what we know for sure…
Bad things happen.
People dont know how to cope.
And they allow one bad thing to snowball into more.
THIS IS THE UNLOCK!
Bad things suck.
The only thing worse is letting one bad thing ruin many good things.
One bad thing happens and the way you operate afterwards is what more bad things happen.
Because really… things aren’t good or bad- they just are.
It's becoming anti fragile as we go.
People often dont know how to cope with bad stuff.
Thats how you end up with this weird spiral with more bad things happening.
People dont know how to manage their emotions so they just react.
The more I try to create space between how I feel and what I do, the more I've been able to control my outcomes in situations.
It’s a superpower, I’m telling you. The next time something in your life sucks, ask yourself, how can this actually be the best thing ever?
