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....

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

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...

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. You probably know I’m obsessed with designing our days rather than letting our days just happen and all of that starts with first figuring out what we actually love, have the most fun doing and what and who makes...

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.  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!!
