329. How To Be Awesome At Creating A Totally New Healthy Normal
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. In this episode I’m breaking down the habits and ideas that play into this new healthy normal. Whether you’re just starting or refining your routine, this is your blueprint for building a healthy lifestyle that feels good and becomes your new normal. Let’s break it down this way... -What we eat -How we move -What we focus on / headspace / love / low stress -How we approach health & supplements & body recovery 🍽️ WHAT WE EAT (“Fit Body”) Cook your own food – cheapest, healthiest, tastiest path to looking & feeling better. 90 % whole-food rule – mostly meat, poultry, fish, eggs, raw milk/cheese, honey, fruit, veggies. Limit the big saboteurs – alcohol, added sugar, processed/seed-oil-heavy foods, liquid calories. Ancestral fats – butter, ghee, tallow, coconut or olive oil; dump industrial seed oils. Protein-forward eating – anchor every meal with quality protein for muscle, satiety, blood-sugar control. Precision hydration & minerals – use high-quality salt + magnesium with meals and water. Fasting as a tool – strategic fasts for metabolic flexibility and gut rest. Cheat-code bedtime nutrition – eating finishes 2-3 h before lights-out (see sleep section). 🏃 HOW WE MOVE (“Fit Body” continued) Daily baseline: walk ≥ 10 000 steps – the more you walk, the better you feel. Lift ≥ 4× per week – the more you lift, the more muscle you build; prioritize compound moves. Movement micro-wins – walk after meals, take the stairs, stretch while on calls. Outdoor > indoor – sunlight + fresh air amplify the mood boost. Do hard things – deliberate discomfort (heavy lifts, hill sprints, cold dips) makes the rest of life easier. Mini-metric goals – work toward: 10 pull-ups, 25 push-ups, 30 crunches, 1-mile run < 7 min (top 1 % but attainable). Active recovery – gentle walks, mobility flows, breath-work between intense sessions. 🧠 WHAT WE FOCUS ON / HEADSPACE / LOVE / LOW STRESS Golden bedtime – the earlier you sleep, the better you feel; 9 p.m. lights-out is a weight-loss & energy cheat code. 7 + hours every night – non-negotiable for hormones, immunity, cognition. Calm mind priorities – gratitude, meditation, prayer, earthing, laughter, breath-work. Nature therapy – sun, grass, water, trees: free antidepressants. Purpose & passion stack Fit body Calm mind Loving family Exciting hobby Respect for nature Rewarding purpose Supportive life partner Stress is not a badge of honor – schedule rest like workouts; low-stim routines > chronic hustle. Design a life you love – work that lights you up, movement built into the day, joyful relationships. Reject the modern “normal” – daily Starbucks, cubicle confinement, 40-year job you hate, multiple meds, no sunlight, no exercise → not the path. Embrace the real normal – fulfilling work, outdoor time, strong body, vibrant health, thriving relationships. 🔬 HOW WE APPROACH HEALTH, SUPPLEMENTS & BODY RECOVERY Foundational stack – magnesium, creatine, collagen (DiNic’s “never-skip” trio). Targeted add-ons – electrolytes, high-quality multi/mineral, vitamin D/K, omega-3s as labs dictate. Sleep hygiene – dark room, cool temp, magnesium + glycine in the evening, zero blue light last hour. Underrated “medical tools” Sunlight ☀️ Sleep 😴 Nature & earthing 🌳 Real food 🥦 Exercise & walking 🚶♀️ Hot/cold exposure (sauna, cold plunges) 🔥🧊 Salt & magnesium 🧂 Meditation & laughter 🧘♂️😄 Active recovery tech – red-light, compression, massage, mobility, breath-work. Lab-first mindset – annual bloodwork, CGM, body-comp scans; tweak before problems arise. Body-transformation quick-start (90 days) Limit alcohol 10 k steps daily Lift ≥ 4× weekly Sleep 7 + h 90 % whole foods Ditch liquid calories Prioritize protein + quality fats Rule of compounding – small, relentless wins in movement, food, sleep, mindset snowball into radical change. CHEERS to creating YOUR new normal based on all that we know!! XO Lindsay

328. How To Be Awesome At The 100 Hour Rule
06/23/2025
328. How To Be Awesome At The 100 Hour Rule
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 some of my favorite books to bring you a very full perspective podcast episode on this topic. The 100 Hour Rule is your reminder that you already have what it takes. You just need to start — and keep showing up. This episode is your mini wake-up call — your invitation to finally get going on learning the skill that you’ve wanted to and get moving on your small and big and do it in a way that feels totally doable. We’re breaking down the 100 Hour Rule with inspiration from: Jesse Itzler Josh Kaufman Chris Williamson Alex Hormozi Ed Mylett Steven Bartlett Let’s talk about how to focus, what to prioritize, and how to finally follow through, even if your schedule is full and your motivation isn’t perfect. Why It Works- 100 hours = manageable, realistic, and motivating. Public speaking, playing piano, learning to use Canva, learn to cook, learn how to lift weights, learn how to meditate, learn to hike or mountain bike, learn to watercolor or speak French. Become at expert at using points to travel to places you wouldn’t normally, work on learning & launching a business. What Is The 100 Hour Rule? 💬 Jesse Itzler: “If you spend 18 minutes a day on any skill, in one year you’ll be in the top 5% in the world at that skill.” Most people quit because they think progress takes too long. But it’s not about hours in a day… it’s about consistency. The real magic is in the compounding effect of daily effort. 📌 18 minutes a day x 365 = 100+ hours a year Josh Kaufman – Just 20 Hours to Get Good Author of The First 20 Hours, Kaufman challenges the 10,000 hour myth by saying: “You can go from knowing nothing to being pretty good in just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice.” How? Break the skill into sub-skills Learn enough to self-correct Remove distractions Commit to 1–2 hours a day for 10 days or 20 minutes a day for 2 months 🎯 You don’t need to master it. You just need to start enjoying it. Alex Hormozi – Stack Skills That Multiply Your Value “Becoming world-class at the intersection of skills is the cheat code.” You don’t have to be the best at one thing... be really good at a few. 100 hours on something like speaking, writing, or selling? Now you’re dangerous. Ask: What skill will give me disproportionate results? Chris Williamson – Depth Beats Dabbling Host of Modern Wisdom: “The world rewards depth, not dabbling. Mastery is rare, and rare is valuable.” Attention spans are short, but attention is power. Being intentional for 18 minutes a day beats random YouTube rabbit holes. Ask: What’s something I could be known for in a year... if I committed now? Ed Mylett – The Power of One More “You’re always one decision, one habit, one ‘more’ away from a totally different life.” Ed teaches that small, consistent actions compound faster than we think. Also references the “1 degree” concept… how a tiny shift in direction today leads to a totally different destination down the road. His belief: Build confidence by keeping promises to yourself, especially the small ones. 🎯 Make the promise: 18 minutes a day. Keep the promise. Watch the ripple effect. Steven Bartlett – Identity Drives Discipline Host of Diary of a CEO: “You don’t rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” Steven focuses on identity and structure: Want to be a writer? Write. Want to be fit? Move daily. Want to be a leader? Lead yourself first. The 100 Hour Rule works because it reshapes your identity through repeated action. 💡 Ask: Who am I becoming with each session of focused effort? Putting It Into Practice Choose your focus: What skill or habit will elevate your life? Where can you apply 100 hours over the next 12 months? Make it stick: Schedule 18 minutes daily Use habit stacking (tie it to something you already do) Keep a log or journal Reflect weekly: What changed? What’s easier now? Journal Prompts Ask yourself: What’s the one thing I’ll be proud I invested in a year from now? What excuse keeps stopping me… and what’s my new story? What part of my identity will this 100-hour journey unlock? Your Future Self Is Waiting You don’t need more motivation — you need a system that you trust. The 100 Hour Rule is your reminder that you already have what it takes. You just need to start… and keep showing up. The compound effect of tiny, focused actions is real. So start small. Stay consistent. And let this be the year you build something remarkable… 18 minutes at a time.

327. How To Be Awesome At Organizing Your Space So Your Life is Organized
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 carrying around in my purse was empty- now they had tickets on them for the stuff in the prize room but zero game credits. I was laughing so hard I literally couldn't catch my breath as every card we scanned in was a big fat zero and Craig jokingly said… Lindsay you have to stop keeping things. And it was like the world stopped and I was like - wait a minute - I was sure those cards had value. What else in my life am I keeping that I won’t use or wear or anything. Things that are weighing me down for no reason. This whole experience threw me into this new way of thinking… where I purge with a feeling of abundance, rather than holding on to things. My goal in this episode is to help you discover what Dave and Busters cards you’ve been keeping… that are actually weighing you down. I’ve realized more and more that my space needs to be completely organized for my life to feel organized - that’s what we’re unpacking today! -The Myth of Value: When We Think Something Still Works Common examples: clothes that no longer fit your lifestyle, kitchen gadgets you “might need someday." -The Weight of Keeping Things "Just In Case" The emotional burden of storing, organizing, and maintaining stuff “just in case.” Letting go frees up not just space, but time, clarity, and energy. -Scarcity vs. Abundance Mindset The evolved mindset says: “I’ll be okay without this.” If I really need it, I’ll figure it out. So many things we hold onto are a $10 pickup if we need it again Purging is not wasteful — it’s trusting yourself and your future. -Ask Yourself: What Are Your Dave & Buster’s Cards? What am I holding onto that no longer adds value? What items feel more like obligation than joy? -Purge with Purpose — and Peace Tips for letting go: Make it a celebration, not a chore. Donate or re-home items to someone who needs them. Keep only what aligns with your current season of life. -The Clarity of Organized Space = Organized Life Organizing your space creates calm, energy, and creativity. When everything has a place, your brain gets a break. It’s less about perfection, and more about flow and freedom. -Don’t Carry Dead Weight Back to the Ziploc baggie — “it looked like it held value, but it was just weight.” Look at your physical spaces with fresh eyes. Find the freedom and confidence that comes from letting go. Why an Organized Home = An Organized Life Mental Clarity & Emotional Lightness – Clutter creates mental overwhelm. When your space is clean, your mind feels clear and focused. Saves Time & Energy – No more wasting time searching for things! You can use that energy for creativity, work, or self-care. Boosts Productivity & Motivation – A structured space helps you feel in control and more motivated to tackle tasks. Reduces Stress & Anxiety – Studies show clutter increases cortisol (stress hormone). A tidy home means a calmer mind. Encourages Healthy Habits – An organized kitchen makes healthy eating easier; a tidy workspace boosts efficiency. Better Sleep & Relaxation – A clean bedroom promotes deeper, more restorative sleep. Unique Summer Cleaning Ideas Declutter by Energy Zones – Organize based on how a space makes you feel. If a room feels “heavy,” reassess what’s in it. Reverse Spring Cleaning – Unload drawers as if you’re moving, then only put back what you truly love or need. “One-Touch” Rule – When tidying, make sure each item you pick up is immediately put where it belongs. Seasonal Reset Box – Place items you’re unsure about in a box. If you don’t use them in 3 months, donate them. Declutter with Music & a Timer – Set a 30 minute timer & play loud music and go! The “Why Do I Own This?” Test – Ask yourself if each item serves a purpose or brings joy. If not, let it go! Detox Your Digital Space – Clean up emails, files, and phone apps to declutter your mind. I hope this episode inspires you to see organization as a form of self-care rather than a chore. And helps you focus on what you’re carrying around that you think serves you but is actually heavy dead weight. CHEERS to your organized space & life!!

326. How To Be Awesome At Recognizing Aging VS. Neglect
06/17/2025
326. How To Be Awesome At Recognizing Aging VS. Neglect
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 can do daily to keep our strength, flexibility, energy and sharpness over time. If you don’t use it you lose it and that’s not the gameplan!! Let’s go!! Why We Confuse Aging with Neglect Inspiration: Outlive + Good Energy Dr. Peter Attia challenges the idea of “inevitable decline.” He argues we don’t die of old age, we die from preventable chronic diseases (heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, frailty, neurodegeneration). Dr. Casey Means says our modern environment is biologically mismatched. Much of what we consider aging—fatigue, brain fog, joint stiffness—is inflammation caused by neglected lifestyle choices like ultra-processed food, lack of movement, and poor sleep. Reframe: What feels like aging might be: Muscle loss from underuse (not just age) Joint stiffness from inactivity, not age Brain fog from poor metabolic health, not "just getting older" Flexibility & Strength—The First to Go (But Totally Reversible) Peter Attia’s Point: “Functional Longevity” You don’t train to live long—you train to live well long. His "Centenarian Decathlon" concept: What physical feats do you want to do at 80 or 90? Train now for those. Action Steps: Start a Zone 2 cardio routine (walking uphill, light cycling). Great for mitochondria and long-term energy. Add stability and grip strength work—these are major predictors of longevity. Stretch daily or do mobility work 10 minutes/day. Lack of flexibility is not inevitable—it’s just unused tissue. Moving your body regularly improves cellular health and lowers inflammation, which protects against many “aging” diseases. Nutrition is the Silent Ager Good Energy: “You are what you metabolize.” Modern food is driving chronic inflammation, which accelerates what we mistake as aging: skin issues, joint pain, fatigue, insulin resistance. Ultra-processed food hijacks energy systems and causes mitochondrial dysfunction. Action Steps: Prioritize whole foods: protein, fiber, omega-3s. Avoid “glucose roller coasters” — balance meals with fat/fiber/protein to avoid energy crashes. Try time-restricted eating: not for weight loss, but to support metabolic flexibility. Attia promotes a low-carb or carb-conscious diet to control insulin and prevent the slow creep of pre-diabetes that goes unnoticed. Sleep & Stress—The Hidden Agers Poor sleep mimics aging in the brain. One bad night of sleep can spike blood glucose and disrupt hunger hormones. Chronic stress leads to cortisol overload—breaking down muscle, weakening immunity, and inflaming joints. Action Steps: Prioritize 7–8 hours of sleep in a dark, cool room. Wind down early with no screens—melatonin is suppressed by blue light. Practice stress recovery: deep breathing, journaling, cold exposure, or sauna. What to Watch for That Looks Like Aging But Isn’t These are early signs of neglect that can be reversed: Needing caffeine to function Losing strength when lifting groceries or kids Taking longer to recover after activity Feeling “foggy” or irritable most mornings Waking up feeling stiff every day Attia and the Means both emphasize: These are signals. If you listen to them now, you can slow or even reverse them. Your “Reverse the Neglect” Starter Plan Give listeners a 5-part challenge: Move 30 minutes every day (combine walking + strength 3x/week) Eat one full day of unprocessed meals Cut sugar and seed oils completely Stretch for 10 minutes in the morning and before bed Walk after meals to stabilize glucose This isn’t about avoiding age—it’s about owning your energy. When we treat aging like a slow collapse, we give away our power. But when we understand the difference between aging and neglect and add and remove habits, we change the game. Our mind and body will thank us now and even more when we’re 80 and 90. CHEERS to taking control of the way you age!

325. How To Be Awesome At Low Cost & High Impact Party Ideas
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 fresh ice cream and make ice cream sandwiches and both came in around $850. Instead, I bought the mini ice cream cones from Trader Joe’s for $.46 each - brushed them with a little water and dip them in sprinkles and the kids were so happy. I took what would have been something like $12 per kid and made it $.46 and if they had two cones, I made it one dollar. And it had the same feeling as doing the expensive vendor, and nobody knew the difference! There are so many ways to plan your parties so you spend the money in the most strategic ways and and figure out ways to keep things low in cost, but have a big impact. Tips! -spread out your spend -get multiple quotes -start early if you can -set max budgets for some of the creative people -do half vendor, half yourself (balloons and treats) -hat vendor - $450 - DIY would have been similar plus helper time to do it -caricature - $300 for 3 hours - best deal in town -pizzas & taco guy- sometimes make it pretty and sometimes just to feed people -snack table is so easy and so useful and ads to decor -print signs at a store like FEDEX - then I had my sign girl just do 2 main signs -print tags, papers and “stickers” yourself -pizza boxes had our logo on it - just paper cut and taped -Etsy has great resources -before you rent - see what you would spend buying and do you have a place to store? This time I spent too much on a wood wall - but I decided I needed it too late -you either have to spend lots of time or lots of money! But you dont have to do both -use the school of YouTube ***Here’s the link to my new party book!!*** CHEERS to your next awesome party!!

324. Awesome New Thoughts On Family Health Quarterbacking
Over the years, I’ve spent lots of time in hospitals as we navigate keeping Craig healthy despite his genetic heart issues. This past week was another week spent in the hospital for us and even though we’ve done this so many more times than we would like… Every time I come out with a new perspective in someway or a new thoughts on really how to keep your health as the highest priority in life and what I think is the best way to keep all your records and information organized and how to advocate for yourself. One of my favorite things about podcasting and connecting with friends is sharing experiences because we’re all in different situations every day so we learn different things. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to share our journey and the tips and lessons from being in such extreme situation at times and the take-aways that I think are most valuable to everyone. We’re talking about keeping good notes, showing gratitude to those helping you, staying calm and not letting overwhelming emotions take over and prioritizing the entire family when anyone is going through something hard. -Email for health records -Notes on your phone for each person- one for overall history and one more meds/supplements -Book with everything printed -Being realistic but optimistic -Caring for whole family (Craig kept telling me to go be with the kids) -Letting people know whats going on in your world so you get the extra support -Stay strong minded and not weak - people help you more -Ask questions and take notes -Know people’s names, show gratitude in anyway you can -Keep loving & doing normal feeling things through it -Even if nobody has issues - keep good records as you go -Even if you have so many years so go through - loop in doctors to help you -Push for doctors to connect with each other -Consider concierge if you need it -Get your team of doctors going before you really need it -Keep health a top priority by reminding yourself that it is a top priority - on your weekly list of things to do -Don’t wait when you feel like something is off -Don’t eat hospital food - it’s not good enough for when you’re healing -Do your own research for little things that can help- and ask doctors - juicing, supplements etc. -Lay out clearly who you are the health quarterback for, then do all of this for them. It’s your most important job. CHEERS to us, the health quarterbacks!

323. How To Be Awesome At Seeing Everything You’ve Done Up To Now As The Pre-Game
Quick story to explain this - I was testing out a new business and I was talking to my husband about this product and the cost of goods and profits and the industry and I was explaining about the strong positioning I’ll have in the marketplace and he was like many sold last month and what was the net profit? And when I told him - he’s like your time is worth more- that’s not big enough - and I’m like totally - but I haven’t even gotten started. He’s like but you have sales- I was like I know, but I’m in the pre-game like I haven’t even gotten started. I’m building the skills and knowledge in the industry to go out and hit a home run. In the process of explaining this to him, I unlocked SUCH a powerful frame for myself that I think will really help you too. This frame is genius for anything you’ve tried at but haven’t hit out of the park yet. In any bucket of your life. Record strong podcast episodes, make sales in your Etsy or Amazon business, lose weight, build stronger relationships with girlfriends- it can be applied to just about anything. It’s the UNLOCK to stop judging yourself for taking too long or not getting there yet or for the mistakes you made along the way. None of what happens in the past defines how successful you will be going forward - it was all prep work for the BIG move that’s about to come. Let's get into it!! Reframing Your Past: • How to shift your mindset to see everything you’ve done up until now as preparation, not failure. • Embrace your “warm-up reps” as necessary for your future greatness. • The power of process over perfection—show up with a growth mindset, not an outcome obsession. • Mistakes and slow starts don’t disqualify you—they qualify you. Quote: “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” — James Clear ⸻ 2. The Power of the Pregame Frame in Business: • Why launching something small, testing, and learning the landscape is one of the most strategic things you can do. • Building muscle in the industry, even if the early results don’t look big yet. • Your pregame is your research lab—learn fast, fail small, adjust boldly. Quote: “Volume negates luck.” — Alex Hormozi ⸻ 3. Stop Judging the Timeline: • You’re not late—you’re just in the warm-up. • The world teaches speed, but mastery comes from depth and consistency. • Let go of artificial timelines and embrace your unique runway. Quote: “You can’t be upset by the results you didn’t get from the work you didn’t do.” — Mel Robbins ⸻ 4. Applying the Frame to Different Life Buckets: • Health: Every workout you’ve done, even sporadically, is a win. Your future self will use those reps. • Relationships: Conversations that didn’t go well taught you what you want in a friendship or partnership. • Parenting: The imperfect moments were actually preparation for the present version of you. • Creative Work: Podcasts, posts, or projects that felt “meh” were the training ground for your voice. Quote: “Sometimes you win. Sometimes you learn.” — John C. Maxwell ⸻ 5. The Real Work Begins When You Decide to Stop Judging Yourself: • Self-compassion is your rocket fuel. • You’re not behind—you’re building traction. • “I haven’t even gotten started” becomes your permission slip to go bigger. Quote: “Don’t attach your identity to the version of you that had to survive.” — Jay Shetty ⸻ 6. Invite Your Listeners to Do This: • Write down a list of things you’ve “started but not mastered.” Then re-label them as “Pregame Practice.” • Celebrate what you’ve learned—not just what you earned. • Choose one area to now move into game time with fresh energy. Take the time to be kind to yourself for anything big you are working towards and know that you are just warming up baby, the best is yet to come!! Check out Lindsay’s Weekly Planning System here:

322. How To Be Awesome At The Vacation Reset

322. How To Be Awesome At The Vacation Reset
This episode is all about The Vacation Reset. How to come home, take a fresh look at your routine, and use everything you felt and experienced on your trip to make your everyday more fulfilling. So rather than having post-vacation blues you have this fresh perspective on everything - what you’re eating, what you’re spending your free time doing, and what makes you feel the most alive. It a post-vacation breakthrough podcast. 1. Why Vacation Is Such a Powerful Reset You break your routines naturally — new places, new foods, new experiences. You slow down and experience joy more intentionally. You're more present and tuned into how you actually feel. Mini Thought: → When you remove the autopilot of daily life, you notice what truly lights you up. 2. Coming Home: The Moment of Clarity You can feel what routines were serving you and which ones felt heavy. You’re often able to clearly see what you missed (the good stuff!) — and what you didn’t. Your nervous system resets — you realize where you were operating from stress without realizing it. Mini Thought: → Vacation gives you the contrast you need to upgrade your life. 3. How to Create Your Personal Vacation Reset Reflect: Ask yourself: What made me happiest on this trip? What did I not miss about home? Audit your life: What parts of your daily/weekly routines could feel lighter, freer, more intentional? Add in Micro-Experiences: Can you add mini "vacation moments" into your normal weeks (like trying new foods, spontaneous adventures, walks without your phone)? Declutter Your Calendar: Remove one thing that drains you. Commit to one thing that fills you up. Mini Thought: → Tiny changes = huge shifts in how your days feel. 4. Use Momentum Instead of Falling Into the Post-Vacation Slump Most people fall into the "Maui Blues" — they mourn that vacation life is over. Shift the story: Vacation isn’t the escape — it’s a preview of what more joyful living could look like. Plan small things you can look forward to each week (adventures, date nights, slow mornings). Keep something “vacation-inspired” going (sunsets, meals outside, afternoon walks). Mini Thought: → Build your real life to include the things you love about vacation life. 5. Fresh Eyes on Your Big Goals Being away from your normal environment clears your mental windshield. Look at your big goals again — are they still aligned? Or is it time to pivot? Use the renewed sense of energy and perspective to make bold moves or corrections. Mini Thought: → Fresh energy = a fresh roadmap toward what really matters. Action items!! -Make a list of what lit you up! -Notice what you didn’t miss about being away and what you dreaded coming back to then audit your calendar. -Make a playlist that reminds you of your trip to keep that vibe going. -Add something into your routine that you loved from your trip. Like reading 10 pages or a long walk after dinner. -Declutter one part of your space. -Try a food at home that you loved on vacation. -Think of tiny daily things that you loved there. Walking barefoot, eating more fruit, etc. Vacation isn’t just a break — it’s a gift of perspective. And the best thing you can do is bring that joy, that presence, and that clarity back into your daily life. Instead of mourning the end of vacation, use it as a launchpad for better habits, better experiences, and a more intentional, vibrant life. Every day can have a little bit of that vacation magic — if you design it that way. Thanks for listening, and here’s to your most awesome Vacation Reset yet! Here is a link to Lindsay’s 2.0 Calendar System if you want to tie this all together!

321. How To Be Awesome At Not Snipping At Your People

321. How To Be Awesome At Not Snipping At Your People
Here are some key strategies to help you plan ahead, manage stress, and respond with patience instead of snapping at your loved ones: Why We Get Snippy & How to Prevent It Lack of Time = Lack of Patience – When we’re rushed, our tolerance drops. Planning ahead creates space for calmer interactions. Stress & Overload – When our mental/emotional load is too heavy, small things set us off. Managing stress proactively prevents snippy reactions. Not Meeting Our Own Needs – When we’re tired, hungry, or overstimulated, we’re more likely to react negatively. How to Plan Ahead to Avoid Being Snippy Buffer Time in Your Schedule – Give yourself 5-10 extra minutes before key transitions (leaving the house, dinnertime, bedtime routines) to prevent feeling rushed. Set a “Reset” Ritual – Before engaging with your family or team, take 30 seconds to breathe deeply, reset your mood, and remind yourself of how you want to show up. Identify Your Triggers – Notice when you’re most likely to snap (e.g., right after work, during morning chaos) and create a strategy for those moments (deep breaths, stepping away, music, or hydration). Pre-Communicate Expectations – Set clear expectations with your family/team about transitions or tasks to avoid last-minute stress (e.g., “We’re leaving in 10 minutes” vs. “Hurry up, we’re late!”). Use “I’m About To Be Snippy” Signals – Recognize when frustration is rising and call it out before reacting: “I need a second,” or “I feel overwhelmed, let’s pause.” Plan for Self-Care Daily – Even 5 minutes of alone time, movement, or quiet time makes a difference in emotional regulation. Create a Stress-Reducing Environment – A calm home or workspace (organized, decluttered, good lighting) reduces external stress triggers. Sleep, Food, Water Check-In – Low blood sugar or exhaustion makes snippy responses more likely. Prioritize good sleep, hydration, and balanced meals. Practice the 3-Second Rule – Before responding snippily, take three seconds to pause, breathe, and choose a response that aligns with your best self. Quick Fixes in the Moment The Smile Reset – Physically smiling (even if forced) can shift your mood. Walk Away Before You Snap – Give yourself 60 seconds to reset. Turn Snippy into Funny – If you feel irritation rising, flip it into humor instead of frustration. I hope this episode helps you to reframe your approach to stressful interactions so you can respond as the best version of yourself. Have an awesome day!

319. How To Be Awesome At Being Unaffected By Chaos
Today we are training to be unaffected by chaos! How to get through it without anxiety or stress or losing your cool. I love topics that make us make a plan ahead of time, so when we are in a situation like this, we react exactly as we want to because we’ve thought through it ahead of time. We aren’t reacting out of emotion, but out of a place of control and strategically. You probably know I always talk about reacting based on what you want the outcome to be, not how you feel in the moment. We’re applying that concept to this situation and also digging into how to guard your inputs and avoid exposing yourself to unnecessary chaos or stress. And for the times we can’t control it, how we will keep our composure which gives us power in any situation. We’re going to take a step back and figure out what our mantra to ourselves will be - mine is “this will not take me down.” Because we can handle much more than we think we can!

318. How To Be Awesome At Having A Succeed-Or-Die-Trying Attitude
This podcast topic might seem a little extreme, but I honestly think it’s the difference between planners and doers. Between amateurs and pros. It’s this attitude that I will succeed at this or I will die trying. Said differently - I won’t stop until it works. Because everything takes a long time and it will eventually work if you try hard enough and do enough repetitions and fail enough and learn enough lessons. Sometimes the original plan is what ends up working and sometimes you pivot 50 times and keep adjusting the plan until it’s the winning plan. I think this way of approaching anything you want to accomplish makes it so much easier because it’s accepting that it will be hard and sometimes painstakingly hard. But it’s removing the… if this works or it might It’s like … I’m all in going pro at this. It’s what I really want and I’m giving it 110% effort. I will succeed or I will die trying. -Success is inevitable if you refuse to quit. Most people fail because they stop. If you keep going, you win by default. -It’s supposed to be hard—difficulty filters out those who can’t handle it. If it were easy, everyone would do it. The challenge is what makes success valuable. -The only way to fail is to stop. As long as you’re moving forward, you haven’t lost. Keep adapting until you figure it out. -Skills and results compound over time—most people quit before they see the returns. The people who succeed are the ones who endure long enough for compounding to take effect. -Suffering is the price of greatness. You can either endure the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. One leads to success; the other leads to failure. -Successful people do the work even when they don’t feel like it. Motivation is fleeting. Discipline and consistency win. -Your mindset determines your outcome. If you truly believe you’ll succeed no matter what, your actions will reflect that belief, and success becomes inevitable. -Obsession beats talent every time. The most successful people are those who refuse to stop, not -There’s always a way—your job is to find it. If one path doesn’t work, try another. Resourcefulness is more important than resources. -The greatest competitive advantage is enduring longer than everyone else. Most people give up when it gets tough. If you don’t, you’ll be the last one standing—and that’s who wins. CHEERS to charging towards your goals with this succeed or die trying mindset!

317. How To Be Awesome At Saving An Hour A Day
Most of us feel like we simply don’t have enough hours in the day to do all the things. To do the things we WANT to do and also the things we HAVE to do. Today we are talking through overall strategies we can use to make the most out of our days… and also very specific examples of ways you can do things more efficiently so that you simply have more time. If we can eliminate decision fatigue, schedule specific times for tasks, do things faster, do things ahead of time, eliminate things that don’t need to be done and batch work similar items together - we will wind up with the extra time we’ve been looking for! Let’s dive into all the ideas and find the extra time you need! Let’s go! One question that people ask me often is… how do you get so much done? And it makes me so happy because I work at it constantly and I love talking about it. So let’s do it. Best tactical way to see where you are spending unnecessary time - for one week- keep a log of what you do every 30 mins. Can be just a few words- but you’ll find out real fast where the lag is! -Only touch things once -Be ready for the day - clothes laid out, morning routine set (keep a list yesterday) -Have a wind down routine and stick to it -Have a plan for the day ready when you wake up. -It’s easier to avoid distractions and stick to the plan. -If something takes 2 minutes or less, do it right away, don’t add it to a list. -Batch similar items together. Answer your emails all at once. -Have a system that you use to run your days. -Limit decision fatigue with things like meals and getting dressed. -Create a “home” for everything in your home. So much time is lost finding things. -Automate anything that can be like bills, etc. -Unsubscribe from emails you don’t need. -Turn off notifications you don’t need. -Work on sprints for high focus. 25 mins on, 5 mins off. Pomodoro technique. Set a timer. -Outsource or delegate- virtual assistant, babysitter time, grocery delivery. And more specifically… -On emails -On laundry -On groceries -On getting ready in the morning -On prepping for your morning- know what you will wear and eat. -On household clutter - set a timer for 10 mins a day to declutter- then big piles never come up. -On replying to texts and emails- use voice to text and do them twice a day. -Set-up tomorrow the night before! Setup priorities so you have a clear direction when you wake up and other people don’t decide for you how your day will go. Episode 259 is a very specific one on how to save time by not running errands. We live in the greatest time ever to be alive and there are just so many opportunities and so many ways we can be distracted and wander around or we can be hyper focused and productive. Let’s work to find that hour a day then fill it with things that make us feel so fulfilled and awesome!

316. How To Be Awesome At Becoming Unoffendable
There is this incredible freedom that comes when you simply cannot be offended. You have more inner peace, stronger relationships and just more joy in your days. In order to never be offended by something someone says, I think we need to first put them in one of two buckets, then unpack from there. They are either in your inner circle or not in your inner circle. If they are - then you love them unconditionally and you know they aren’t perfect, just like all of us, and we have bad days or bad moments or less than ideal reactions. Or we let our own issues come out and onto someone else. You know the bond you have and the person they are at, at their core, and you aren’t going to catastrophise it. And if they aren’t in your inner circle - it’s not worth your energy. There’s no reason to put weight on whatever it is when they aren’t your do-anything-for-crew. And here’s the main thing - we know that 90% of judgment or criticism or rude comments comes from peoples own thoughts about themselves… not actually about us. And it’s through the lens they see the world through. It’s about getting to a point when your own opinion of yourself weights more heavily than anyone else. It’s this deep confidence and ability to reframe the situation that is key. I think it is totally a super power if you can get to where you simply aren’t offended… and that’s why we’re podcasting about it today!

315. How To Be Awesome At Designing Your Days Using The 2.0 Habit System
This podcast episode is a full education on how habits work and what experts say about the importance of planning and consistency and how to set yourself up to do the tiny daily things that support your big goals. This is a walk through of the 2.0 Habits System that I created- so if you are already a part of our community - you’ll love learning more about how to really make the system work best for your life. If you’ve thought about organizing your days this way or you just want to learn strategies about being intentional about how you spend your time- you’ll love this episode. The 2.0 Method works over a long period of time because it includes the most important principles of behavior change. It takes what you already want to do and helps you create a system to do it and feel successful at it. We know that in 20 years we’d give anything to be this age again and this healthy and have this time. There’s no more waiting to train for a marathon, start writing a book, lift weights- whatever it is. There’s no perfect time to start anything - the perfect time is always today. Let’s talk through the science behind what we do and use that knowledge to create the perfect plan for you. A lot of this is being 100% truthful with yourself. It’s about pushing through when it’s hard and knowing its supposed to be hard - that means you’re on the right track. You’re going to get judgment as you change - even by people who love you - because it’s a reflection of what they are doing or not doing. For more info on the 2.0 System or to join the community- visit this site: Most of us feel like we just don't have enough time each day and each week. We know what we want to accomplish but we just don't know how to get there. Or we have this story of why we don't have the time or resources to get there. When in reality, these are often hurdles that we've created that don't actually exist. Every Sunday, you will fill out your Awesome Week book for the upcoming week. You take our priorities and goals (from the Deep Dive sheets) and simplify them into daily habits that you do consistently. By planning out your weeks this way, you have a proactive approach, rather than a reactive one (like most people do). You aren't basing your days on the emails or text messages that you get, but being very clear about how you want to spend your time. Then during the week, you just have to follow the plan. Less distractions, less scrolling, less wasting time and procrastinating. It's fulfilling in the short term on the daily, and even more-so in the long term. We know it’s a hundred tiny actions that make big things happen. (not one silver bullet) By focusing on the daily habits that move you forward, you stay focused (not distracted) and you feel fulfillment knowing that you are making progress each day. You make a strong plan on Sunday then throughout the week, all you have to do is execute. You’ve mapped out what actions you want to take to feel how you want to feel and be the person you want to be. Stick to the plan and you’re on your way to the best version of you, what we call 2.0.

313. How To Be Awesome At Obsessing Over The Small Things
This is one of those things that I wish I would have understood as clearly in my 20s and 30s as I do now in my 40s… but I guess that’s living and learning. It’s the understanding that the small things are what matters. The small things we do or don’t do everyday. It’s what Warren Buffet describes as the power of compounding interest. It’s building a little snow ball and rolling it down a very long hill. It’s slow then it’s fast. This is my problem with the whole - don’t sweat the small stuff thing. I appreciate not having anxiety and worrying about every little thing but at the same time - when you give yourself a pass on the habits that would add up to the person you want to be - things like - making the sales calls, lifting weights, eating healthy, taking your supplements, doing regular doctors visits, having the uncomfortable conversations, avoiding toxic things in the environment and toxic people… You miss the little things - that add up to the big things. We’re unpacking it today! You wake up one day with a chronic disease and you’re like when did this happen? It started 20 years ago. When did this happen? It happened today! It’s the TINY decision you decided to do or not do that didn’t seem like it mattered. It compounds - and it’s almost invisible. It’s slow then it’s fast. That’s why it’s so easy to overlook the small things. If you are competitive like me - know that most people overlook the small things - which gives you a competitive advantage if you obsess over the small things. This mindset change is everything. It’s realizing that small actions - hundreds of small actions stack up over time to create big change. Here are some examples across different areas of life: Personal Development * Reading for 10 minutes a day: Over a year, this adds up to about 12–15 books, enriching knowledge and perspectives. * Journaling one line of gratitude: Shifts mindset to focus on positivity and resilience. * Writing down one lesson learned: Helps build wisdom and awareness through reflection. * Practicing deep breathing for 2 minutes: Builds mindfulness and reduces stress, with lasting effects on mental clarity. Health and Wellness * Stretching for 5 minutes: Enhances flexibility and prevents injuries over time. * Taking the stairs: Improves cardiovascular health and builds strength in small ways. * Drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning: Boosts hydration and kickstarts metabolism. * Adding one vegetable to meals: Slowly shifts your diet toward more whole, nutritious foods. Relationships * Complimenting or appreciating one person daily: Strengthens connections and builds goodwill. * Spending 5 distraction-free minutes with loved ones: Deepens emotional bonds over time. * Sending a quick check-in text: Maintains friendships and relationships without requiring large time commitments. Professional Growth * Writing or brainstorming for 5 minutes: Over time, this can result in innovative ideas or improved skills. * Networking with one person weekly: Grows a professional network exponentially over time. * Learning one new word or skill daily: Adds up to 365 small improvements in a year. Financial Habits * Saving a small amount every day: Even $5 daily grows to $1,825 in a year, which can compound further with investments. * Tracking one expense daily: Builds financial awareness and helps identify patterns over time. * Skipping one impulse purchase: Redirecting that money toward savings or investments compounds into financial stability. Creativity * Doodling or sketching for 2 minutes: Enhances creativity and visual thinking skills. * Capturing one photo a day: Trains your eye to see beauty and inspiration in the mundane. * Writing 50 words daily: Adds up to a novel in a year! Remember it’s building a little snow ball and rolling it down a very longgggg hill!!

312. How To Be Awesome At Not Giving Away Your Free Time
When someone asks you if you can attend an event or party or get together, what’s the first thing you do? You check if you’re free! If you’re available at that day and time. And then, if you are free, you’ll probably say yes. How could you say no, you aren’t busy then. This is where it happens! We feel like we owe it to them to go, because we aren’t busy. But we could end up spending that half a day doing something really fulfilling and invigorating, instead of going to the obligatory baby shower for our cousins friend. I think we often feel like there just isn’t enough time in a day, because we are giving too much of it away! This podcast episode is the best reminder of how precious your time is and the best strategies for deciding how you spend it. Let’s go! Here’s the deal with how you decide how to If you don’t want to go, don’t go. Alex Hormozi said- Just because you have free time, doesn’t mean that anyone who asks for it is entitled to it. If you see that you have an empty day, mis people assume if someone asks for that time, its theirs. Its only not theirs when someone else has claimed it Which means that your time only belongs to other people. And then you’re surprised that your investment of time has yielded nothing for you. You’ve given your most important asset - your time. Your calendar is the best way to tell where you are going to be in a year. You can see by what you are doing today, what your life will look like in a year. The life that you are living today is a result of the work you did 6-12 months ago. Just like people want an immediate reward, they see their current condition as a reflection of what you’re doing today. It’s not - it’s a reflection of what you did 6 months ago. It helps you make better decisions with your time now. Going to the gym is the best example! The change isn’t immediate. If you skip all of your workouts, you don’t see or feel it right away- but you do in 6 months. It also works the other way.

311. How To Be Awesome At Leveling Up Your Life With Four No’s
12/27/2024
311. How To Be Awesome At Leveling Up Your Life With Four No’s
Here’s how it works. Every Sunday when you are planning out your week, you decide on what your four no’s will be. These are things that you just won’t do. It works so well because it’s not making this big list of things you have to do - like go to the gym for an hour a day, set aside time and a quiet space to meditate- while I love all things like that too- what we are talking about today is so much easier because it doesn’t require more time or energy. It just requires discipline and self control to not to the thing. Here are examples… Maybe you had the worst hangover last week - and it’s happened a lot lately and you’re over it - so one of your Nos would be… NO more than 2 drinks in a night. Other examples… No scrolling social media in bed No eating past 7pm No hitting the snooze button All things that make you better- make you feel better, more productive, healthier. I’m sharing my current four No’s and lots of examples to get you thinking about how you can set-up these rules in your life to help you get to exactly where you want to be. Without doing anything at all, you just have to set limits and say no to things. Why 4? 5 is too many and 3 is too few My current ones: No distracted communication No phone or social media or scrolling before bed or when I wake up No food past 7 No eating at the fridge Examples No raising my voice No fast food No negative self talk No negative talk about others No refined sugars or starches No checking emails constantly No skipping breakfast No clutter No processed foods No sitting for more than 2 hours at at a time No eating in the car No more than 2 cups of caffeine No multitasking No overcommitting Here is a link to my 2.0 Habits System that I talk about: Here’s how you figure out what yours are… Just ask yourself, what would make your days better? What would get you going to your goals faster? It works in all buckets of life. If you are distracted and not getting enough done, set limits there. Many of my current issues are around food and eating right now. But then those will regulate and they will be about other things. The key is - making a promise to yourself that you will stick to it. And every time you do, its like a vote for the person you want to be. It’s deep self confidence that nobody knows about, but you do. You become a person that does what you tell yourself you are going to do. It gives you strength in all areas of life. When we let our emotions dictate our actions - We have to be consistent to see change and this sets us up for that. Emotions are changing and inconsistent. So by setting up these nos - you creating consistency even when you’re emotions aren’t. Most people are going through life on auto pilot. If they are annoyed by something or feel a negative emotion or don’t feel 100%, they use it as an excuse to not stick to their standards. They make bad choices and don’t do things that align with their goals and priorities. Because it feels good now- but feel even worse later. Now I over drank AND I broke a promise to myself. Your emotions can’t determine your actions if you want to be extra ordinary. We know that for sure. Doing things this way, you choose what you know is right for you, regardless of how the day is going. It helps you do what you need to do, even when you don’t feel like it. I tell myself, this isn’t hard… I don’t have to actually DO anything. I can certainly just not do this thing. I’m all about FREEDOM and the crazy part is - freedom comes from discipline and structure. And it helps us raise our standards for ourselves. These NOs become our standards. And we keep these standards even when we’re tired or in a bad mood or whatever it is. Set standards that make you proud of yourself using this system and accept nothing less. As you move through the weeks, you’ll find that some of your 4 NOs become automatic and you replace them with 4 new Nos. Things you decide you will not do, because you have this high standard of yourself. You just won’t break the promise to yourself. And now you have this whole new set of standards that you have for yourself. CHEERS!! To designing your NOs to level up your standards and your life!

309. How To Be Awesome When Someone Says Something Hurtful
I just learned these two BEST strategies for responding when Notice I said respond not react because we know the longer we can space out the action or comment and our reaction the more control we have. These two strategies will teach you HOW TO RESPOND when someone belittles you or says something disrespectful. And then best part is, you leave the situation having handled it with confidence and control - and you haven’t lowered your standards for yourself - like the other person likely did. These are skills that you have to think about BEFORE you’re in the situation so when the situation happens, you’re ready!! I learned these 2 strategies from Jefferson Fisher, a trial lawyer and an expert on communication. Have them repeat it Ask them if this is their intention with this When someone is belittling to you or says something hurtful- make them repeat it. They are trying to get a reaction out of you. When you ask them to repeat it - they don’t get that reaction/ that response time. It takes the fire out of it and flips it on them. They don’t want to say it again - the spotlight is on them! THEN ask question of intent. Did you say that to hurt me? Puts a mirror on them. You don’t have to respond or react at all!!! It handles it!! You don’t have to figure out how to respond to something you dont want to respond to. Did you say that to offend me? Usually it’s no no no I didn’t mean to!! I’m just kidding - you don’t need to be so sensitive etc. You’re not going to believe how good this is!!! Two skills that you have to think about BEFORE you’re in the situation so when the situation happens, you’re ready!! Listen - some of these comments could come from good people with good intentions. But it doesn’t always translate this way. It’s your job to respond in a confident way without it rattling you or making you depressed. Because we know people opinions have so much more to do with them, than us. And know!!! Don’t lower your standard of yourself because someone else lowered their standard of themselves. Next time this happens to you, you’ll be ready to handle it in the most awesome way possible!

308. An Awesome Holiday Episode On Perspective
Today, we’re just going to jam on gratitude and perspective and how the way we frame things is the way we see them. I’m sharing what I think are the most valuable insights and thoughts I have in this season of life. Things I’ve learned from my reading a book a week every week and just being a student of life. Having conversations with all different types of people and perspectives and with different experiences. This is a fun one with lots of different ideas for you think about and maybe insert your life and routine. I loveeee reading a book a week I’ve replaced social media with reading/audio books Only on social during mellow movement - breaking the cycle of social media early morning and in evenings and in any free minutes. I have a plan and stick to it instead. I’m prioritizing stretching with weights for longevity I 100% believe that aging is mostly neglect not an avoidable part of life I’m going PRO at sleeping and bedtime routine - setting a plan and being strict with it And when something seems hard- becoming a PRO at it - starting something or solving something. Monotasking - do one thing until it’s totally done Using social media strategically and not passively Purge. Have less and know where it all is. Plus life is so much more calm. Spending money very intentionally. For me it’s mostly longevity and nutrition. I also like being put together and have nice things to wear but that’s way more Zara these days than designer. Have a set plan for the day before it gets going. If you don’t have a plan, your day will run you. Start in control and stick to the plan. Don’t let emotion stray you. Sending love to you and yours this holiday season and beyond!

306. How To Be Awesome At Turning The Worst Thing Into The Best Thing
Every year around my birthday I’m like, ok, what’s the secret unlock at this age? Like what have I learned and what I am doing that makes the biggest difference in my life? This year, that skill that I’ve unlocked in myself this ability to turn what feels like the worst thing, into the best thing. In a very practical and realistic way. So aside from anything really really sad in life, this strategy allows you to get out of thinking and saying how much this sucks or is unfair or is the worst thing that could happen. And flipping it to- how could this become the best thing? I’m going to fully explain it because once you set yourself up like this - it’s crazy how you can see the same situations completely differently. It’s saying to yourself, this sucks, and it’s not at all what I wanted. But, how could it actually be the best thing? You have to listen to this full episode - it’s 20 minutes or so that will change the way you react when things go sideways. Things that are awful - like getting fired or someone breaking up with you or you don’t get the promotion or don’t get into the college or high school that you wanted. You sprain your ankle and can’t workout for 3 months and it’s your favorite thing.. This is what we know for sure… Bad things happen. People dont know how to cope. And they allow one bad thing to snowball into more. THIS IS THE UNLOCK! Bad things suck. The only thing worse is letting one bad thing ruin many good things. One bad thing happens and the way you operate afterwards is what more bad things happen. Because really… things aren’t good or bad- they just are. It's becoming anti fragile as we go. People often dont know how to cope with bad stuff. Thats how you end up with this weird spiral with more bad things happening. People dont know how to manage their emotions so they just react. The more I try to create space between how I feel and what I do, the more I've been able to control my outcomes in situations. It’s a superpower, I’m telling you. The next time something in your life sucks, ask yourself, how can this actually be the best thing ever?

304. How To Be Awesome At Making Honesty Your Superpower
10/01/2024
304. How To Be Awesome At Making Honesty Your Superpower
It may sound obvious, but honest, like real saying what you think, I’m obsessed with being honest and direct because it does so much for you. If you need to tell someone how you really feel or cancel on some thing or decline an invitation, be honest. Be kind and considerate and compassionate and have empathy… all those things. But just be honest. Even if it stings for a second people will respect your honesty and It’s hard to be mad at the truth. Honesty is a superpower because it allows you to go to sleep without crumbs! You sleep well knowing you don’t have little stories to make sure you keep up with or the pressure of doing something that you really don’t want to do because you weren’t honest from the beginning. Oh my gosh how much less complicated things are when you are direct and honest. Rather than calling a friend or thinking about something for days- you know how you feel - be direct and honest and move on to the next. Most things aren’t actually as big of a deal as we make them out to be. You don’t have little white lies to keep track of, and you don’t hold on to the burden of things. Think about how much more effective it is to talk to someone directly about something that is bothering you rather than not talk to them and talk to other people who can’t do anything about it and it just makes the problem bigger and stirs up complication. Often times, when you go straight to the source and you are honest, you can clear up miscommunications really quickly. Being honest doesn’t mean just saying the first thing that comes to mind and bulldozing other peoples feelings. To me it’s completely the opposite. When I think about what’s the best solution or the best way to handle a situation, it’s simple. Just be honest. If someone asked me to invest in a company, and it’s not a good fit, I tell them that rather than making up an excuse, that’s not true Examples! At work! Direct approach: “Your report had a lot of valuable information, but the formatting and structure made it difficult to follow. We need it to be more organized to ensure clarity.” With empathy and compassion: “I can see how much effort you put into this report, and that’s really appreciated. I know making adjustments might feel like extra work, but a clearer structure will help showcase the quality of your insights even more.” With kids! Direct approach: “You can’t stay up past your bedtime. It’s not allowed.” With empathy and compassion: “I know you really want to stay up longer and finish your game, but you need rest to feel good tomorrow. Let’s set a time to finish it tomorrow after you’ve slept well.” Direct approach: “You didn’t clean your room, so you can’t go to the party.” With empathy and compassion: “I can see that cleaning your room wasn’t fun or easy, but it’s important to follow through on your responsibilities. Since you didn’t finish, you won’t be able to go to the party today, but we can plan something fun when you finish it later.” Direct approach: “You hit your brother, and that’s not acceptable.” With empathy and compassion: “I saw you hit your brother, and that’s not okay. I understand you were upset, but hurting others is not how we solve problems. Let’s talk about why you were angry, and we can figure out better ways to handle those feelings next time.” With spouse! Direct approach: “I don’t feel like you’re meeting my emotional needs.” With empathy and compassion: “Lately, I’ve been feeling like I need more emotional connection between us. I know we’ve both been busy, but I really miss the deeper conversations we used to have. Can we find some time to reconnect and share more with each other?” Direct approach: “You’re not doing your share of the housework.” With empathy and compassion: “I’ve been feeling overwhelmed with the housework lately, and it seems like I’ve been taking on more of the load. I know we both have busy schedules, but could we figure out a way to balance things better? It would really help me out.” With friends! Direct approach: “You’re always late, and it’s frustrating.” With empathy and compassion: “I really value our time together, but it’s been tough when you’re often late. I understand things come up, but it would mean a lot if we could make more of an effort to start on time. Is there something I can do to help?” CHEERS to being your most awesome direct and honest self!!

303. How To Be Awesome At Making One Change That Will Make You 10X More Productive

303. How To Be Awesome At Making One Change That Will Make You 10X More Productive
If you struggle with getting things done and being productive - I have one strategy, one change that will make you 10 times more productive. I love working with and studying high achievers and this one skill is something they all have. We’re going through how most people tackle tasks and make decisions and how high achievers do. And then, how you can start doing things this way right away. It’s one shift in how you do every thing, that changes the game. We are learning into the power of undivided attention, leading to more effective, efficient, and high-quality outcomes. Focus on one thing at a time - do it the very best you can, then move on. It’s mono-tasking at it’s finest. On the daily... Improved Quality of Work: When you dedicate your full attention to a single project, you can dive deeper into the details and nuances. This focused effort often leads to higher-quality results. For instance, a writer working on a novel without distractions is more likely to produce a well-crafted manuscript compared to if they were juggling multiple writing projects. Faster Completion Time: By concentrating on one task, you minimize the time lost to context-switching. For example, a software developer who focuses solely on debugging a specific piece of code can resolve issues faster than if they were constantly shifting between debugging and feature development. Enhanced Problem-Solving: Monotasking allows you to immerse yourself fully in a problem, which often leads to more creative and effective solutions. Consider an architect working on a building design; uninterrupted focus enables them to explore innovative solutions and address potential issues more thoroughly. Reduced Stress and Burnout: Handling multiple tasks simultaneously can be overwhelming and lead to stress. Monotasking reduces this strain by simplifying your workload. For instance, a project manager who tackles one project at a time can manage deadlines and expectations more effectively, reducing the risk of burnout. Increased Mastery and Expertise: Focusing on a single project allows you to gain deeper expertise and mastery in that area. For example, a researcher concentrating on one scientific study can develop a more nuanced understanding and contribute more significant findings than if they were dividing their attention among several studies. In the big picture, in the words of Alex Hormuz… “The only way to achieve extraordinary results is to focus on one thing at a time and become obsessed with it.” “Your ability to focus on one thing for an extended period of time is directly correlated with your success.” “Success comes from the ability to concentrate your energy and efforts on a single goal until it’s achieved.”

302. How To Be Awesome At Having Strategic Reactions

302. How To Be Awesome At Having Strategic Reactions
In this episode, we are talking about having strategic reactions instead of emotional ones. All day every day we are faced with situations in which we have opinions and emotions. But that doesn’t mean we have to act on them. It may seem so foreign at first put overtime, it’s the most empowering thing, because your energy is not wasted, and you don’t have unnecessary headaches. Asking yourself two things - is this worth my energy and what is the end result I want? It takes training to not act on your emotions but it’s crazy powerful. You keep so much more of control of your life and the situations you are in. This episode will save you heartache, stress and will certainly get you more of what you want. Before you send the text or the email - sleep on it and decide in the morning. Emotions don't require actions! Thinking through- what happens AFTER this … is so helpful! What is the end result that I want? If you go nuclear on someone - We should think of the end goal in mind. I want them to not do that again. I don’t want them to retaliate. If you are trying to avoid retaliation, then it’s better not to throw the rock. Often times I just want to get the F out of the conversation. So how about just agree and move on. Examples: Someone says to you.. “You’re fit because you’re lucky. You have good genetics so it comes easy to you." You say, Ya, it’s nice. Maybe something triggers you politically. Maybe someone says something uncalled for or inappropriate. You should probably learn how to do ___ before trying it. Like what do you even know about it? You don't always have to set them straight or stand up for yourself. Control what you can control. THINK 2 steps ahead. Often times it’s honesty. Just tell the truth. It’s just so powerful for all stages of life. You have to separate you feeling something and you acting on something. You may feel angry at your co-worker but jabbing at them will only make your work life miserable. You have to resist things that might make you feel better in the moment. Create space and time! When you feel something and have the desire to act on it - since we want to make as logical of decisions as we can. If we make more logical decisions, we want to create space from when we feel and when we act. Just because you feel something doesn't mean to act on it. You’re most likely to regret decisions that you make immediately after something - your instant reaction. CHEERS to your super power of controlling your emotions and having strategic reactions!

301. How To Be Awesome At Creating Special Moments
Let’s explore how we can transform ordinary experiences into extraordinary ones by leaning into the elements that make moments memorable. I’ve been trying to do this in my own life - making long drives that would otherwise be sort of boring - fun in some way. And setting up a little family game or activity during the day while the kids are at school for us to all play after dinner. I’m on this quest to make more lasting memories and have more connections with my people. Not get too caught up in routine and distractions that we forget to celebrate little wins and create more peak moments each week. I just read the book The Power of Moments by Dan & Chip Heath and this could not have come at a better time. Today we are talking about how you can inject elements of surprise and excitement and newness into everyday tasks. By breaking away from routine, amplifying high points, and focusing on emotional impact, we can turn the mundane into the meaningful and forge lasting memories that enrich both personal and professional experiences. Defining Moments: Moments that stand out in our lives are often characterized by their emotional intensity. They break from routine and are memorable. Four Key Elements: To create powerful moments, focus on these elements: Elevation: Moments that rise above the ordinary and create a sense of wonder or excitement. Insight: Moments that lead to a profound realization or understanding. Pride: Moments that highlight achievements and strengths, often marking milestones. Connection: Moments that deepen relationships and foster a sense of belonging. Elevate Ordinary Experiences: Inject elements of surprise, excitement, or novelty into routine activities. This could mean adding unexpected touches, celebrating small wins, or introducing fun elements to everyday tasks. Break the Script: Deviate from the norm to create memorable experiences. By breaking away from routine and introducing something unique or unexpected, you can make an ordinary moment stand out. Break the script - this is doing something that defies the expectation in the moment. To create more peaks! It can’t happen so often that it becomes the normal The Power of Small Moments: Even small, intentional actions can create meaningful moments, like personalized gestures or thoughtful acknowledgments. Celebrations: celebrating milestones can help create lasting positive memories and reinforce values. Designing Moments for Others: Think about how you can intentionally craft moments that will impact others positively, whether in personal relationships or in professional settings. The Role of Storytelling: Crafting moments often involves effective storytelling, whether in personal experiences or in shaping the culture of an organization. Leveraging Moments for Growth: Use impactful moments as opportunities for learning and growth, both personally and within organizations. Focus on Peaks: Identify and amplify the high points of an experience. Whether it's a significant achievement or a joyful event, emphasizing these peak moments helps make them more memorable. Create Moments of Pride: Highlight achievements and milestones to foster a sense of pride. Celebrating successes, no matter how small, can turn an ordinary occasion into a meaningful one. Foster Connection: Strengthen relationships by creating moments that deepen connections. This can be achieved through meaningful interactions, shared experiences, or personalized gestures. Use Rituals and Traditions: Establishing rituals or traditions can transform routine events into special moments. These practices provide structure and meaning, enhancing the significance of ordinary experiences. Design for Emotional Impact: Consider the emotional journey of the moment and aim to design experiences that resonate deeply. Whether it's through storytelling, thoughtful gestures, or creating a sense of awe, focusing on emotional impact can elevate ordinary moments. How to plan for these moments!! Calendar out your life and picture yourself doing the things! What would make it more special? A birthday- a massive poster card or game to celebrate the bday person. When planning, don’t fall back on how you do things - for everything. Keep some things the same - the ones that work best - then find new ideas for the rest. ASK your people and listen! By applying these strategies, you can transform everyday activities into memorable experiences that leave a lasting impression. Items mentioned in this episode... Darts- Cookies- Book- CHEERS to focusing on emotional impact to elevate ordinary moments!!
