I share some practical tips and strategies for how you can apply this philosophy to your own life and work, and share inspiring examples of organizations and leaders who have successfully used the start with why approach.

Even in our best efforts to be consistent, there are times where we may 'fall off the wagon' in our plans and our daily routines. Recovering from a down period can be tricky - especially when your own judgements about falling short makes it tough to get started again. In this episode, I share some thoughts and reflections after falling off the wagon myself recently, and the mental shift you may need to make in order to move forward.Connect with Chloe on Instagram @startrightnowpodcast
When was the last time you gave yourself permission to do more - to be more, to achieve more, to follow that passion, pursue your dream, to step into your calling, or to do what's on your heart? Episode 51 is centered around this exact question. Pursuing a goal can sometimes feel like you'll need to make a trade-off in another area of your life - and this is the reason that ambition is sometimes accompanied by guilt. Investing in yourself is as much about permission as it is about a daily decision to keep going. So in this episode, we get clear on both the 'permission' and the 'decision' part that is blocking you in your pursuit.
Black or white? Good or bad? Absolutely perfect or a completely failure? Weighing two opposite extremes as your only reality is an example of 'All or Nothing' thinking at it best. But what lies in between the extremes - the shades of grey and all the rich colours across the spectrum - is the reality that we need to ground ourselves in if we want to make progress. So if you've wanted to quit that business because of one bad review, or wanted throw the diet plan out of the window because of one cheat meal, or decided not to start something at all because you didn't think you would finish... this is the episode for you! Take note of these 5 ways to break that bad habit of 'All or Nothing' thinking and step into the dreams you feel called to pursue. Connect with me on the new Instagram account @Startrightnowpodcast.

We all have a baseline for what we expect we are able to achieve - whether we are conscious of it or not. But did you know that we can dramatically raise the baseline of what's possible based on our daily habits, practices and actions?

She shares her model for moving 'out of the fog' of our lives and businesses, finding clarity in what we are trying to accomplish, and creating habits to perform at our peak. What surprised me most?
