132: Don't Believe Everything You Think | #walkwithme
About This Episode: What you don't consciously reject, you subconsciously accept. And one of the strongest forces of human nature is our need to stay consistent with who we believe we are. This can become a real challenge when the beliefs we are operating from do not serve where we want to go or who we want to become. #WALKWITHME and let's talk about why you shouldn't believe everything you think, and how to shatter the limiting beliefs that are keeping you stuck. *** Subscribe to the ALIVE by Design podcast on: Apple Podcast, go to YouTube, go to Audible / Amazon Music, go to Spotify, go to Google Podcast, go to For all episodes and show notes, go to *** If you enjoy the podcast, please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes.

131: Why our "normal" is what's making us SICK | #walkwithme
About This Episode: It's often hard to reduce moments of full emotion down to words, and there really are no words to describe what happened last week at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas... But I will say reflecting on the families of those affected, as well as the environment around my own kids as I send them off to school every morning, definitely has me thinking about what may be a much larger issue at hand. #WALKWITHME now and let's talk about why our "normal" maybe what's making us SICK! *** Subscribe to the ALIVE by Design podcast on: Apple Podcast, go to YouTube, go to Audible / Amazon Music, go to Spotify, go to Google Podcast, go to For all episodes and show notes, go to *** If you enjoy the podcast, please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes.

118: The Mind-Killer… Secrets to Overcoming Fear | #walkwithme
About This Episode: As I was watching the new DUNE movie with my family, this quote hit me hard: “Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings obliteration. I will face my fear, and I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.” It goes by many names today: Stress. Anxiety. Overwhelmed. People-pleasing. etc. But when you break it down to its most simple form, the primary thing keeping us from our potential is… FEAR. In this #WalkWithMe episode, I talk about how we can defeat this “mind-killer.” *** Subscribe to the ALIVE by Design podcast on: Apple Podcast, go to YouTube, go to Audible / Amazon Music, go to Spotify, go to Google Podcast, go to For all episodes and show notes, go to *** If you enjoy the podcast, please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes.

About This Episode: One of the best things about a new year is that it is a blank slate. Reflect on last year as you start creating a new vision for 2022.

109: How to Swim in a Sea of Negativity | #walkwithme
About This Episode: This episode was inspired by the following analogy: “An entire sea of water can’t sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Similarly, the negativity of the world can’t put you down unless you allow it to get inside you.” All of us in some way have to deal with negativity, so the question then is: What can we do about it? In this #WalkWithMe episode, I share why if you really knew the power of negative thoughts, you would never think a negative thought. I offer 7 simple tools to use when they come. *** Subscribe to the ALIVE by Design podcast on: Apple Podcast, go to YouTube, go to Audible / Amazon Music, go to Spotify, go to Google Podcast, go to For all episodes and show notes, go to *** If you enjoy the podcast, please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes.

About This Episode: When was the last time you ate something you regretted? Ever bought a thing you didn’t really need? Watched something that made you feel worse? I believe we were created to CREATE… but so many of us spend more time on consuming, instead of creating. In this #WalkWithMe episode, I share why today’s Consumption Culture may be killing our potential. *** Subscribe to the ALIVE by Design podcast on: Apple Podcast, go to YouTube, go to Audible / Amazon Music, go to Spotify, go to Google Podcast, go to For all episodes and show notes, go to *** If you enjoy the podcast, please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes.

107: 4 Questions for Loving What is... | #walkwithme
About This Episode: For so many of us, it’s easy to get STUCK in our own story—even though we know it doesn’t serve us. We know we need to make shifts, and yet we are not able to make them. This #WalkWithMe episode was inspired by the enlightening book “Loving What Is” by Byron Katie. I share a 4-question framework that can help us get UNSTUCK and shift the story in our own mind to one with a much happier and fulfilling ending. *** Subscribe to the ALIVE by Design podcast on: Apple Podcast, go to YouTube, go to Audible / Amazon Music, go to Spotify, go to Google Podcast, go to For all episodes and show notes, go to *** If you enjoy the podcast, please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes.

106: Why REJECTION Hurts... and What to Do About It| #walkwithme
About This Episode: Rejection hurts, no matter who you are, where you’re from or how ‘successful’ you may be. We all feel ‘rejected’ at times, which can impact us. There’s a reason why we feel that way, just as there’s also a reason the things that cause that feeling happen in our life. But, that reason is likely very different than what you might think. On this #WalkWithMe episode, I share why rejection hurts—and what we can proactively do about it. *** Subscribe to the ALIVE by Design podcast on: Apple Podcast, go to YouTube, go to Audible / Amazon Music, go to Spotify, go to Google Podcast, go to For all episodes and show notes, go to *** If you enjoy the podcast, please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes.

104: Insights from the Emergency Room | #walkwithme
About This Episode: As a parent, it’s never fun to see your child fall. But, when I saw my young son, Greyson take off down the hill on his scooter, only to end up in the Emergency Room shortly thereafter, I knew that our five hours in the ER with his broken bones would be a memory for us both. In this #WalkWithMe episode, I’ll share some insights from that night that we can all apply to our own falls everyday. *** Subscribe to the ALIVE by Design podcast on: Apple Podcast, go to YouTube, go to Audible / Amazon Music, go to Spotify, go to Google Podcast, go to For all episodes and show notes, go to *** If you enjoy the podcast, please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes.
