How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast

Here are some key strategies to help you plan ahead, manage stress, and respond with patience instead of snapping at your loved ones: Why We Get Snippy & How to Prevent It Lack of Time = Lack of Patience – When we’re rushed, our tolerance drops.

How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast

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...

How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast

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...

How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast

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...

How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast

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...

Whether you have one kid or 5 kids or you don’t have kids but plan to one day… this podcast episode is filled with ideas for you to really connect with each child - starting at any age. 
 
Life is busy and the months go by quickly.  I’ve learned just how important it is to slow down and be mindful of the relationship and connection that you have with each child and how it changes as they get older.
 
My goal in this episode is to give you lots of ideas of ways to really connect and stay connected with your child.  Ideas that will really get you thinking about how you can insert the best ideas for you, into your daily lives. 
 
I believe so much that an extra ordinary life comes largely from taking ordinary moments and making them extra ordinary and this episode is filled with so many ways to do just that with your babies. 
 
**Lots of ideas… 
1:1 time consistently 
Leave out something to do together (book or football etc)
Do what they are interested in 
Ask questions that are open ended and curious 
Show your love in the way that resonates most with them 
Celebrate tiny wins- things you wouldn’t normally celebrate 
Learn a new skill together 
Share a hobby 
Create traditions with each child (ex: Sunday am pancakes) 
Work together on a charity project 
Frame pictures of them that represent special accomplishments or moments 
Projects that live on like a time capsule (digital or actual) 
Dream day together - make a list, look forward to it, do all of the things on the list 
Plan dream playdate together for their friends 
Plan their birthday parties together 
Start a small business, podcast or blog together 
Go on walks after dinner - low pressure environment 
Make a seasonal bucket list (summer bucket list to go zip lining etc) 
LAUGH! 
Plan vacations / adventures 
 
 
**With each kid have a…
TRADITION once a week or once a year  
SONG that is theirs/yours
THING that is yours (star, magic, champion etc)
OUTING to look forward to

 
**Things to avoid… 
Always solving everything for them 
Dividing your time with technology 
Be curious and not judgmental 
Allow them space to fully be who they are 
 
 
**How we can use what we know about habits to make this all happen! 
Anchor to exiting (after brushing your teeth..)
Start tiny - 2 minutes of something 
Focus on behavior, not outcomes 
Be flexible - helps you be consistent 
Change your physical space 
Just start- build on small wins - momentum 
Focus on doing, not perfection 
 
 
CHEERS to having the most awesome connections with your awesome kids!
