Today we're talking about Locus of Control, which is "the degree to which you feel you have control over your life." Come find out whether you're living life through the lens of an internal or external locus of control, why it matters, and the impact these different mindsets can have on your relationships, your motivation, your outlook, and so much more!

Hey everyone--it's been a while! Today I'm introducing you to my new podcast. In this first episode, I'll be filling you in on the changes that are coming as well as what you can expect from here on out. Whether you're a long-time listener or you're brand new to my world, welcome! I'm so happy you're here.

Donald Miller said, "If we are tired of life, what we're really tired of is the story we are living inside of." Today we are talking about the stories we tell, and how we aren't always the most accurate narrators of our life's experience. I'll give you three ideas that you can start using today to become the editor of your stories and a more intentional creator in your life!

This week, in anticipation of Easter, we're talking about why the teachings of Jesus Christ are much more than just a nice idea or good suggestion. Learning about the Savior and nurturing His attributes within ourselves can have profound psychological, emotional, spiritual, and even physical benefits. Accepting His invitation to align ourselves with His thoughts, feelings, and actions gives us the power to change not just our natures, but every aspect of our lives.

What do you think of when you hear the word "extraordinary?" Today we are diving into what it means to create a truly extraordinary life, and why the little choices we make each day matter not just for the quality of our lives in the here and now, but on into the eternities.

Tony Robbins said "Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change." As a Life Coach, people come to me when they're looking to make adjustments in their lives. They're tired of feeling stuck in the same old habits and patterns, and are ready to move forward and improve their relationships, their confidence, their health, their spirituality, or any other part of their life's experience. In today's episode, I help you understand your desires for change, and teach you how to go about making incremental shifts in your thinking that will help you create positive changes in any area of your life.

Today we are exploring the topic of identity! We talk about what it is, why it's important, and what part you have in uncovering your true identity. Most importantly, we discuss how living in your true identity as a child of God will not only help you reach your eternal potential, but affects your everyday habits, feelings, interactions, and attitudes. 

When we hear the phrase "God's will," many of us picture God sitting up in Heaven watching us, just waiting to see whether or not our choices will perfectly align with some specific plan He's laid out for us. But in today's episode I present a little shift in perspective that can help us show up more fully in our lives, and use our agency to become the conscious participants and creators of our earth life experience that He intends us to be.

Today we're diving into why our beliefs have such a big impact on the way we experience our lives, and how some of the beliefs we acquired when we were younger might not be serving us now. I also give you three tips on how to help you in your own journey of choosing and creating beliefs that better serve you AND those you love. Enjoy!

The beliefs we hold are essentially conclusions we’ve drawn and “rules” we’ve established about ourselves, about others, and about how the world works. Some of these beliefs serve us well, but some can hold us back and make us feel confused, anxious or insecure. Today we're talking about how being willing to be wrong about some of your most deeply held beliefs, just might be the secret to getting unstuck and creating a life you love!

Today we're talking about the difference between personal and circumstantial power, and how easily we can give our power to think, feel, and act away to things happening outside of us. Come find out how stepping into you personal power, instead of waiting for circumstances to change, can lead you to an exceptional life!

The scriptures tell us that "men are they they might have joy." But if God intended us to have joy, why does it sometimes feel so elusive and hard to come by? Today we explore the concept of joy, and why cultivating it in our own lives, even in the midst of sadness and suffering, not only helps us to live lives of love and intention, but adds much needed light and goodness to the world around us.

This week we're talking about why your thoughts matter! Sometimes thought work can seem tedious, and the results don't come as quickly as we'd hoped. But that's no reason to give up! Today I share with you my perspective of why this challenging work is so important, and how to keep going, even when you feel discouraged.

This week we're talking about how your identity, or self-image, determines what you believe about who you are and what's possible for your life. For years it was believed that so many parts of us--our personalities, our habits, our traits and tendencies were fixed and unchanging. But now we know that we have the capacity for so much more growth and development than we ever imagined! The great news is that if you don't love the identity you've created for yourself, you can change it. Listen in to find out how!

Today's episode is a supplement to last week's topic about creating your emotional state. This is such a powerful concept, and there is always more to share! In this episode we talk about how we don't see the people and circumstances in our lives as they are; we see them as we are. Enjoy!

Hi Everyone! Today on the podcast we're talking about how following the "rules" of thought work can help you create an intentional emotional state inside of you, regardless of what is happening outside of you. We talk about why your emotional state matters and how you have more control over it than you might think!

Happy New Year everyone! This week I'm sharing some of my thoughts about goal-setting and fresh starts, and how they've shifted over the years from an "all-or-nothing" mentality to one that has brought me more clarity, peace, and success in setting and tackling my goals. 

Today we're talking about the universal human tendency we have to compare ourselves with others. We discuss why we do it, how it affects us, and how we can keep ourselves from falling into this trap that can rob of us our peace, our potential, and our happiness. 

This week we're talking about overwhelm, and why in coaching we call this an "indulgent emotion." I'll help you learn how to figure out what your overwhelm is telling you, how to get leverage over it, and steps you can take to feel more peaceful and productive in your life!

Today we're talking about how emotions like fear and anxiety can keep us from living our lives to the fullest, and why being willing to feel uncomfortable emotions is the key to confidence and "the price of admission to a meaningful life."
