711 | Is It Time To Audit Yourself?
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I wanted to share a question to ask if it is time to audit yourself. If things are not working in the direction that you want, or it is a point of frustration, or your demands are high, then maybe it is time for you to do an audit on yourself, specifically on your time and energy. These two factors will change how you show up, the energy you bring into your day and how you navigate your day. By tracking and reviewing your daily activities, you can identify how much time you spend on each and see if this actually aligns with your goals. In this episode, we...

709 | You Never See Their Actual Wins
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I wanted to share a message I heard last week and it sparked my thinking. You never actually see a person’s wins, you only see what you think their wins are. “When we fail to acknowledge and celebrate small victories, we get discouraged and the flame inside us starts to dwindle.” “Victory is won not in miles but in inches. Win a little now, hold your ground, and later, win a little more.” “If you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time.” ~ Louis L'Amour In this episode, we discuss: 1) Never underestimate all the...

706: You Can Tell Your Beliefs by the Words You Speak
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I wanted to share the quote I came across last week, The Persian poet Hafiz said, “The words we speak become the house we live in.” Our words and thoughts are creating our beliefs which are creating our world. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Our words have the power to build people up and give them life or tear people down and bring them death. The words we speak can inspire and encourage others while, in the same sentence, deflating and discouraging ourselves and others. The words you speak become the house you build and the house you live in, it is...

Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I want to share a few stories about holding the vision and how long you can hold the vision, no one can hold it for you, and no one can see it for you that it will make up for lack of belief in yourself. “Dreams have no limits. Only in our commitment to fulfilling our dreams, do we realize our potential” ~ unknown. In this episode, we discuss: 1) The vision is for you because there is a future version of you who already has this vision, she is already holding it and already celebrating it, it is not an accident or a coincidence.

702 | Change the Meaning You Change the Story
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I want to share our perspective and how when you change the meaning you change the story. In this episode, we discuss: 1) You can’t change your story until you change what you think things mean. Perspective creates meaning, meaning creates emotion, and the quality of our life is the quality of our emotions. It’s not the events of our life that are the finest it is the meaning that we make or take from them. 2) It’s the meaning that we take away from those events that change us, go back to your most difficult experiences and how can you...
