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...

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...

We just officially passed the 1 million download mark on this podcast and I’m so crazy grateful for it. What an incredible time to be alive and have so many ways to connect with people that you would never connect with otherwise. To celebrate- I wanted to share things I know for sure. Some of the lessons and thoughts that feel like the most valuable right now from books and interviews and conversations with really interesting people. We were renewing our passports yesterday and I asked the girl helping us how her day was going and she looked at...

What if disappearing for 30 days felt like a rocket ship toward the goals you’ve been thinking about… the habits you’ve wanted to build, the changes you’ve wanted to make. In this episode, I’m showing you how to hit pause on your normal life, go all in on what actually moves the needle, and come out with results that would’ve taken years.. or never happened at all. This episode is about changing up your routine and getting quiet for a certain period of time so that you can be laser focused on doing things differently. It will mean passing up things you normally do and...

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...

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. I was telling Craig on the way there that I've kept all our past Dave and Buster's card organized in the Ziploc baggie in my purse so we have so many cards we have endless game credits we won't have to buy any cards it's literally gonna be the easiest trip to Dave & Buster's ever. So we get there and we're at that scanning machine and one by one each of the 10 cards I had been...

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...

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_outlineWhat if disappearing for 30 days felt like a rocket ship toward the goals you’ve been thinking about… the habits you’ve wanted to build, the changes you’ve wanted to make. In this episode, I’m showing you how to hit pause on your normal life, go all in on what actually moves the needle, and come out with results that would’ve taken years.. or never happened at all.
This episode is about changing up your routine and getting quiet for a certain period of time so that you can be laser focused on doing things differently.
It will mean passing up things you normally do and even things you enjoy doing - for a short period of time.
This Intentional imbalance is a growth strategy. Rather than tinkering away at something- you charge it, get great at it, get it into your consistent routine then emerge.
You don’t live in this cave forever and the amount of time that you hibernate depends on how big of the goal and how focused you can be. You just need to hibernate long enough to get some major headway going in the direction that you want.
Here’s the truth, when you come out of this phase, you won’t be the same person you were when you went in.
You’ll walk differently. Think differently. Speak with more certainty.
Why? Because you’ve done something most people won’t do, you intentionally pressed pause on the noise, the distractions, the social expectations… and you chose to go all in.
You tell yourself…
“For this short season, I’m putting blinders on. I’m not doing everything for everyone else. I’m focused. I’m building. I’m growing.”
And here’s the beautiful part, it’s temporary.
This isn’t about grinding forever. It’s about locking in for a short, intentional window… and using that window to create momentum that would’ve taken years otherwise, or maybe wouldn’t have happened at all.
You didn’t try to squeeze this goal into the cracks of your chaotic schedule, you restructured your life around it. That’s why it sticks.
It’s like being in a workout class and your legs are burning and your mind is screaming “I can’t do one more rep,” and then the instructor says…
“You only have 10 left.”
You find something extra.
You push harder because the finish line is in sight.
That’s the magic of this phase, you know it has an end.
You know the sacrifice is short-term.
And because of that, you stay consistent. You don’t flake. You show up.
And on the other side?
You’ve finished the reps.
You’ve built the habit.
You’ve launched the thing, or changed your body, or created a whole new standard for your life.
And most importantly, you’ve built confidence.
Not from hype. Not from external validation. But from evidence.
Proof that you can be the kind of person who gets things done when it matters most.
So if life’s felt stuck or uninspired lately…
This is your sign to reset.
Go inward. Go hard. Hibernate for a little while.
Then come back and dominate... with momentum, with confidence, and with proof that you are exactly who you say you are and way more awesome!
