Collaboration Changes the Game
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I want to talk about collaboration, what it is, and how it can change your life if you truly let it. Collaboration is the action of working with someone to produce or create something. It is working together for a common purpose, and with knowledge with the right connections more is possible. It implies cooperation, is the opposite of competition, and is a word that many people say but actually might not wholeheartedly believe.

Learning to Bless the Things You Once Resented
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I want to share a mindset shift or an awareness that I had this past week. It is about the things that we resent or resist and looking at the energy that we are wasting sitting in these emotions. What if these are the things we even despise of ourselves and we are holding onto that resentment. It is a weight that is holding us down, keeping us stuck in the same cycle of energy and frustration. We will never create change in this cycle.

Controlling the Controllable
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I am addressing the word control. Ugh, this word control ruled my life for years. I strived for control and perfection, so it is the default I go to on a regular basis. This is also a position that I hear so many of my clients drop into. This can be even further compounded when life feels chaotic, challenging or a lot of things happen outside of our control. It is a simple solution but definitely not always easy.

#322: How Bright is Your Light?
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I am sharing some thoughts on shining your light. This is a common statement we hear, yet I think it is easily misunderstood. What if we can look at this light differently? Who in your life have you borrowed the light from before? How did it make an impact? How did it help you through a dark time? What if you could be that light for someone else? What if it makes the difference for someone else who feels stuck or trapped on their journey?
info_outline#296: Are You Using Your Superpower?
In this Friday Facts episode, I want to talk about our superpowers. You have a superpower, everyone has one or more. It likely comes from something you have lived through, the experiences that have stretched you and challenged you to grow. Your superpowers are what comes easy for you and what you can see in others. The real questions are, “what is your superpower”, and “are you using it?”
In today’s episode we discuss:
1) What is a superpower? It is something you know because you have learned it firsthand. It is likely something that your friends tell you that you are really good at, or they come to you for advice about, yet you probably judge yourself too much to see it. It is the way we judge ourselves that holds us back.
2) When you feel stuck, what matters is how long you feed those doubts is how long you are keeping them alive.
3) Surround yourself with people who will lift you up when you don't believe in yourself and the ones who will call you out on your sh*t when you need it. Leave no room for judgement because when you are judging yourself you are not showing up in the way that you are capable of.
