571. Aim for B- Work
What if striving for perfection is actually holding you back? So many of us have been taught that A+ effort is the only acceptable standard, but what if constantly pushing for perfect results is draining your energy, limiting your growth, and keeping you from moving forward? In this episode, I’m diving into the concept of aiming for B- work and why it can actually be more effective than trying to do everything perfectly. I share examples from work, parenting, and personal growth to show how loosening the grip on perfection can help you take consistent action, create momentum, and avoid burnout. We’ll explore why giving yourself permission to do “good enough” in the moment often leads to better long-term results.

568. Strengthen Your Mind
What if strengthening your mind was just as important as strengthening your body? Most of us know how to build physical strength. We exercise, improve our nutrition, and challenge our muscles over time. But very few people think about intentionally strengthening their minds, even though doing so can dramatically improve how they feel, how they show up, and what they create in their lives. In this episode, I explore what it really means to be mentally strong and why mental strength is less about toughness and more about your ability to direct your mind in ways that serve you.

What if the biggest breakthroughs in your life require you to do the exact opposite of what your brain wants to do? Most people think success comes from playing it safe, avoiding embarrassment, fitting in, and trying to get things “right” the first time. But the people who create extraordinary results are usually willing to do things that feel uncomfortable, awkward, risky, or even unpopular. In this episode, I walk you through 12 power moves that can completely change the way you approach growth, success, relationships, and personal development.

566. Your Energy Is Creating Your Results
What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want is the energy you’re bringing to it? It’s easy to blame circumstances, timing, or lack of confidence when things aren’t working out the way we hoped. But often, the real issue is that we’re showing up cautiously, hesitantly, or half committed while expecting meaningful results in return. In this episode, I break down what I mean when I say your energy is creating your results. I talk about why so many people want more in their lives while still bringing minimal emotional energy, vulnerability, or effort to the process. You'll learn how this shows up in business, dating, personal growth, and everyday life, and why being willing to try before you’re good at something is one of the most important parts of growth.

564. 6 Strategies for Becoming Killer Confident
What if confidence isn’t something you’re born with, but something you strategically build? So many people believe confidence is reserved for the naturally bold or outgoing, when in reality, confidence is created through intentional choices, daily habits, and a willingness to get uncomfortable. If you’ve been waiting to feel confident before you go after what you want, this episode will completely shift your perspective. Join me this week as I break down six powerful strategies for becoming killer confident and explain why confidence makes every area of your life easier. I’ll teach you how to stop relying on external validation and start building the kind of self-trust and self-connection that changes everything. When you strengthen your relationship with yourself, confidence becomes less about proving your worth and more about fully owning the value that was already there all along.

562. The Path to Self-Trust That Nobody Talks About
What if you could trust yourself so deeply that when you made a decision, you knew it was as good as done? Imagine setting a goal or making a promise to yourself and feeling 99% certain you would follow through, no second-guessing, no doubt. For most people, that level of self-trust feels out of reach, especially after years of overpromising, underdelivering, and feeling disappointed in themselves. Listen in this week as I explain why a lack of self-trust is a pattern that makes perfect sense. I walk through how we erode trust with ourselves over time and why the real issue isn’t discipline or willpower, but the relationship we have with our past self. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to repair your relationship with your past self, redirect negative self-talk, and become someone who supports yourself instead of tearing yourself down.

561. Overcome Your Fear of Failure and Win
What if your fear of failure is the very thing holding you back from success? It’s easy to let the thought of failing stop us from even trying. We avoid taking risks, stepping out of our comfort zones, and chasing our biggest dreams because we’re afraid of not succeeding. But what if we could shift our mindset and turn that fear into the fuel that drives us toward our goals? Join me this week as I dive into the psychology of fear and why so many of us let failure control our actions. I’ll walk you through why failure isn’t the worst thing that can happen and how embracing the possibility of failure actually increases your chances of success. I’ll also share how to reframe failure, so it doesn’t hold you back anymore, but rather pushes you forward.

560. Why You Keep Quitting
Why do you keep quitting on the things that matter most to you? We’ve all been there: excited about a new goal or project, only to give up after a few setbacks or challenges. But why do we do it? If we’re so committed in the beginning, what causes us to fall off track? In today’s episode, I dive into why you keep quitting, even when you deeply care about the goal. It’s not because you’re lazy or incapable, but because of how you think about the process and your beliefs about what’s possible. I’ll help you recognize the mindset and patterns that lead to quitting, and how to break free from them. Join me this week to walk away with actionable insights on how to build better habits, stay committed, and shift your mindset so that you don’t give up so easily. I’ll also share how you can adjust your goals and expectations to make them more sustainable for the long haul. You are capable of achieving more than you think, but you have to change how you think about quitting first. Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: Follow me on Instagram here:

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right, but money still feels out of reach? Like somehow it’s just not meant for you, or it’s not really in your control? In this episode, I’m talking directly to those of you who feel stuck financially, and I’m walking you through seven common mindsets that might be keeping you there. I focus especially on patterns I see with LDS women, but truly, this applies to anyone trying to grow and create more in their life.

Tune in this week to learn how to shift the way you think about ownership, responsibility, and your ability to create value, along with why money has nothing to do with your worth and everything to do with the value you provide. I also walk you through how to start thinking bigger, stop limiting yourself to what you’ve been told is possible, and begin paying attention to the desires and ideas you may have been dismissing.

Do you ever wonder if you're truly loving yourself in the way you deserve? Many of us know self-love is important, but what does it actually look like in practice? It’s easy to get caught up in the idea of loving ourselves being a one-time act or a fleeting feeling, but it’s actually a mindset and a set of daily habits that can transform how we show up for ourselves and others.

557. What Being Nice Is Really Costing You
What if being nice is actually holding you back more than you realize? Most of us have been taught that being kind, agreeable, and easygoing is a virtue. But when "nice” turns into people-pleasing, avoiding the truth, or saying yes when you really mean no, it starts to cost you in ways you may not have fully considered. Tune in this week as I break down what being nice is really costing you, and how it shows up in your relationships, work, and everyday interactions. You’ll also hear why your brain believes being nice is useful, even when it’s clearly not serving you, and a more powerful way to approach your interactions by balancing honesty and kindness so you can communicate with integrity while still being considerate of others.

556. How to Sell Without Being Salesy
What if selling didn’t have to feel pushy, manipulative, or uncomfortable? Many people believe that making an impact requires being aggressive or persuasive in ways that don’t feel authentic. But the truth is, most of us are already selling every day, whether we’re encouraging our kids to do their homework, guiding a client toward a better solution, or helping someone take a step toward a result they want. Tune in this week as I break down what selling really means and why so many people resist it. You’ll learn practical strategies to make sales conversations feel natural, honest, and empowering for both you and the person you’re talking with. From asking better questions to focusing on the people who are truly a fit for your offer, this episode will help you approach sales with confidence and integrity so that every conversation leaves people better off, whether they say yes or no.

555. Circumstances Are Neutral
What if the thing you’re most upset about right now isn’t actually the problem? What if the circumstance itself is completely neutral, and it’s your thoughts about it that are creating your entire emotional experience? In this episode, I revisit one of the core concepts of this work: circumstances are neutral. We define what a circumstance actually is (hint: it’s just the facts), and why separating facts from your interpretations is the key to empowerment. When you understand that circumstances are neutral, you stop trying to control the world and start managing your mind, and that changes everything. Join me today to learn how to identify the difference between a fact and a story, why your brain fights to defend its interpretations, and how to intentionally choose thoughts that create the emotions you actually want. Through examples ranging from money and business results to kids, bodies, and even big, controversial topics, I’ll show you how neutrality works in real life.

Tune in this week to learn how to think about “multiply and replenish” as a creative invitation to nourish yourself, develop your gifts, and contribute in a way that’s uniquely yours.

550. The Problem with Straight A's
Is getting straight A’s actually preparing you for a successful, fulfilling life… or could it be quietly working against you? For many of us, being the “good student” became part of our identity early on, shaping how we measure success, effort, and even our worth. But what happens when life no longer hands you a clear rubric, a step-by-step roadmap, or external validation for doing things “right”? Join me this week as I explore why straight A’s aren’t always the advantage we think they are. I unpack how perfectionism, all-or-nothing thinking, and reliance on external validation can actually make growth harder later in life, and why real life requires nuance, trial and error, and the ability to tolerate being “good enough” in some areas so you can go all in on what truly matters.
