How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast
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....

How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast
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. Identifying what made you feel the happiest, the strongest, the most fulfilled… all of it.

319. How To Be Awesome At Being Unaffected By Chaos
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...

318. How To Be Awesome At Having A Succeed-Or-Die-Trying Attitude
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...

316. How To Be Awesome At Becoming Unoffendable
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...

314. Really Awesome Valentines Ideas!
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...
info_outlineQuick 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. I’m building the skills and knowledge in the industry to go out and hit a home run.
In the process of explaining this to him, I unlocked SUCH a powerful frame for myself that I think will really help you too.
This frame is genius for anything you’ve tried at but haven’t hit out of the park yet. In any bucket of your life. Record strong podcast episodes, make sales in your Etsy or Amazon business, lose weight, build stronger relationships with girlfriends- it can be applied to just about anything.
It’s the UNLOCK to stop judging yourself for taking too long or not getting there yet or for the mistakes you made along the way.
None of what happens in the past defines how successful you will be going forward - it was all prep work for the BIG move that’s about to come.
Let's get into it!!
Reframing Your Past:
• How to shift your mindset to see everything you’ve done up until now as preparation, not failure.
• Embrace your “warm-up reps” as necessary for your future greatness.
• The power of process over perfection—show up with a growth mindset, not an outcome obsession.
• Mistakes and slow starts don’t disqualify you—they qualify you.
Quote:
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
— James Clear
⸻
2. The Power of the Pregame Frame in Business:
• Why launching something small, testing, and learning the landscape is one of the most strategic things you can do.
• Building muscle in the industry, even if the early results don’t look big yet.
• Your pregame is your research lab—learn fast, fail small, adjust boldly.
Quote:
“Volume negates luck.”
— Alex Hormozi
⸻
3. Stop Judging the Timeline:
• You’re not late—you’re just in the warm-up.
• The world teaches speed, but mastery comes from depth and consistency.
• Let go of artificial timelines and embrace your unique runway.
Quote:
“You can’t be upset by the results you didn’t get from the work you didn’t do.”
— Mel Robbins
⸻
4. Applying the Frame to Different Life Buckets:
• Health: Every workout you’ve done, even sporadically, is a win. Your future self will use those reps.
• Relationships: Conversations that didn’t go well taught you what you want in a friendship or partnership.
• Parenting: The imperfect moments were actually preparation for the present version of you.
• Creative Work: Podcasts, posts, or projects that felt “meh” were the training ground for your voice.
Quote:
“Sometimes you win. Sometimes you learn.”
— John C. Maxwell
⸻
5. The Real Work Begins When You Decide to Stop Judging Yourself:
• Self-compassion is your rocket fuel.
• You’re not behind—you’re building traction.
• “I haven’t even gotten started” becomes your permission slip to go bigger.
Quote:
“Don’t attach your identity to the version of you that had to survive.”
— Jay Shetty
⸻
6. Invite Your Listeners to Do This:
• Write down a list of things you’ve “started but not mastered.”
Then re-label them as “Pregame Practice.”
• Celebrate what you’ve learned—not just what you earned.
• Choose one area to now move into game time with fresh energy.
Take the time to be kind to yourself for anything big you are working towards and know that you are just warming up baby, the best is yet to come!!
