Quick story to explain this - I was testing out a new business and I was talking to my husband about this product and the cost of goods and profits and the industry and I was explaining about the strong positioning I’ll have in the marketplace and he was like many sold last month and what was the net profit? And when I told him - he’s like your time is worth more- that’s not big enough - and I’m like totally - but I haven’t even gotten started. He’s like but you have sales- I was like I know, but I’m in the pre-game like I haven’t even gotten started....

This episode is all about documents your highs in life, so you can create more of them. As a person who’s thought a lot about joy and happiness and fulfillment - if we just try to simplify all of that - I really think it comes down to stringing as many awesome days together as you can.

Today we are training to be unaffected by chaos! How to get through it without anxiety or stress or losing your cool. I love topics that make us make a plan ahead of time, so when we are in a situation like this, we react exactly as we want to because we’ve thought through it ahead of time. We aren’t reacting out of emotion, but out of a place of control and strategically. You probably know I always talk about reacting based on what you want the outcome to be, not how you feel in the moment. We’re applying that concept to this situation and...

This podcast topic might seem a little extreme, but I honestly think it’s the difference between planners and doers. Between amateurs and pros. It’s this attitude that I will succeed at this or I will die trying. Said differently - I won’t stop until it works. Because everything takes a long time and it will eventually work if you try hard enough and do enough repetitions and fail enough and learn enough lessons. Sometimes the original plan is what ends up working and sometimes you pivot 50 times and keep adjusting the plan until it’s the winning...

There is this incredible freedom that comes when you simply cannot be offended. You have more inner peace, stronger relationships and just more joy in your days. In order to never be offended by something someone says, I think we need to first put them in one of two buckets, then unpack from there. They are either in your inner circle or not in your inner circle. If they are - then you love them unconditionally and you know they aren’t perfect, just like all of us, and we have bad days or bad moments or less than ideal reactions. Or we let our...

To me Valentine’s is so much more impactful when it feels like a season of extra love, rather than a mandatory date night on a certain day. At the entrance to our wedding in 2009, when I was 27 years old, I hand rhinestoned letters to go over the arch walking into our reception in Mexico that said CELEBRATE LOVE because that’s literally my life mantra. Love is what we all want to feel and experience and it’s one of the greatest life gifts. This podcast episode is all about ways to use this time to really have fun with your people - show them how...
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?
