Send us a text It's easy for a smoker to smoke, a runner to run, an over thinker to overthink or a chef to cook - because there is no effort to be who you claim yourself to be. THIS is the power of your self concept. Action becomes automatic when it aligns with your identity. You don't have to rely on endless willpower or motivation because it's just a part of who you believe yourself to be. Listen to today's episode to learn one of the most powerful Universal truths: your outer w...

Send us a text In this episode I'm sharing my running tips with you! I share my own running schedule, the different types of runs I do, heart rate zones, and more. I have been running since 2008 (minus a couple years when I was pregnant), but it's only been in the last 3 years or so that I have been following this schedule and seen a pretty good improvement in my running. I'm not a running coach or a doctor. I'm just sharing from my own experience and things I've learned over the years ...

Send us a text Next week is the start of the Full Potential Challenge happening in my new membership: Daily Practice. While I don't actually believe we'll ever reach our Full Potential, I love the idea of striving towards it because we will accomplish so much more that way.

Send us a text Yesterday I was listening to a talk from Sydney Banks on "The Power of Thought" and I wanted to share some take-aways from what he shared. Some of the key points in today's episode are: Becoming conscious of what you think is always the first stepIt's not what you think but that you think that is so important to rememberYou can't help thoughts that pop into your mind, but you can choose to stop or continue to think themWhat makes for a happy life?Everyone has their own alignmen...

Send us a text In this episode I'm breaking down a lesson I learned from a Kabbalah teacher, David Ghiyam, about the purpose of personal and spiritual growth. The inner work and personal transformation you do is what "creates the vessel" to receive the things you want in life. There is no God in the sky that you need to convince. Your free will is to transform yourself to be able to "hold" more energy. It's the inner work you do on your thoughts, and feelings so there is no faking or pretend...

Send us a text I've been a vegetarian for over 16 years and while I don't think that just being a vegetarian makes you healthier, it led me down a path of learning about the food industry, learning about ingredients and food labels, and being conscious about what I feed myself and my family. It can be paradigm shifting to learn that just because something is in the grocery store doesn't mean it should be consumed and this is especially true when it comes to the "food" products that are market...

Send us a text This week we are talking about the importance of personal growth work and what "working on yourself" actually looks like. This episode was inspired by the quote from Neville Goddard: "To seek on the outside for that which you do not feel you are is to seek in vain, for we never find that which we want; we find only that which we are." and Personal growth work benefits you and it benefits everyone around you. It's a win-win situation. When we are all working towards our hi...

Send us a text It's been a minute since my last episode! After a couple months off I felt inspired today to share a back to the basics episode on the 4 components of an Aligned Life. I really do believe that each of us has a responsibility to be all that we can be and living an Aligned Life isn't just a nice concept but something that we each deserve to create for ourselves. By doing the work to manage your mind, create peak health, build fulfilling relationships and be on purpose you literal...

Send us a text This week i'm sharing 6 ways you can create better mental health and have a rock solid mindset. A few things I really want to emphasize are: We are not meant to "feel good" all the time, because we don't! Life is both "positive" and "negative" and so nothing has gone wrong when we are experiencing negative emotions. And as you have probably heard me say on other episodes, the negative emotions are always guiding us to what we do want, so learn to listen to the message. Another ...

Send us a text The marathon I've been training for since January is finally here (on Sunday) and I've been sick for the last 11 days. On this weeks' episode I share about my mindset and dealing with the disappointment of missing runs and adjusting my schedule and goal time. I also talk about making meaning of circumstances and learning lessons during those difficult times. One of the last things I share is that everyone should run a marathon (if you feel called to!) because of how it changes...

Send us a text I'm currently training for a marathon, which is on May 26th, and the process has me thinking about the importance of doing hard things and creating a big vision for yourself. The point of having a big goal is about the person you become in the process of working towards it. Even if you don't accomplish the goal (this time), you will have become so much "bigger" and improved yourself so much more, than if you set a smaller, more "realistic" goal. You’ll learn so much abou...

Send us a text I've talked about Confidence a few times on the podcast but this week I'm sharing a few new perspectives about it that you might not have heard before. As I share in this weeks' episode, confidence is not something that's outside of you, it comes from inside you, from how you think about yourself. I also share how we need to have awareness on why we say something or do something. Is it coming from confidence or low confidence? Saying or doing something with the intention to get...

Send us a text This week I'm sharing the 5 things I see as the biggest "blocks" that hold women back from creating better health and wellness for themselves AND how to overcome them. I truly believe we all want to be our best, feel our best, and do our best, but wanting something isn’t always enough. Especially as a mom, it takes a certain mindset and time management to prioritize your health. Listen to this weeks’ episode if it’s your goal to create better health for yourself this year. Ps....
