While these steps are simple, they may not be easy. To complete them, you need to be willing to be honest with yourself about where you are and where you want to be. In order to gain clarity and alignment on where you want to be, you need to consider all that is involved with this dream.   Pick an area of your life: career, relationships, financial, health & wellbeing, spiritual, etc. Get honest with yourself on the reality of this aspect of your life. WARNING: It may feel uncomfortable, but facing reality will help you get where you want to be faster. Consider how you want this part of your life to be. Identify the steps that will help you get from where you are to where you want to be. Keep them simple and small enough to see fast progress while being meaningful so you can create momentum. Notice how you are feeling about the direction you are heading. If it feels off or wrong, assess what may be going on. Spoiler alert: Just because something feels challenging does not mean it’s the wrong direction…this could be a test to see if you really want what you think you want. Feel into it. Think about it. Consider the potential results and determine if they are in alignment with where you want to be. Pivot if you need…it’s ok! Celebrate your micro-wins each day. By noticing them and acknowledging them, your RAS will bring more of these moments to enjoy each day.   Remember, consistent action yields great results. You’ve got this! Now, enjoy the journey.   HUGS - Paulie

One easy way to do this is to spend time with the people you love the most doing the things that bring you joy.    Make choices, everyday, that make you happy and fill you up. Give with no strings attached and notice all the love that is returned to you.    Live life with you regrets. This is a great way to live into your best life. Enjoy the journey.

What does “live into your best life” really mean? - Paulie Skaja   It’s something different for everyone. Most people think it needs to be a grand gesture, accomplishment or statement.   What if it was as simple as noticing the little things each day and feeling the joy they bring into your life? How might your life change? You are in total control of your perception and what you focus on.   When you gain clarity around what you are in control of, then you can let go of concern regarding the rest. By focusing on what’s in your control, you can make better choices that will help you move towards your desired goals.    Each day is a new opportunity to find moments where you choose to live into your best life. Enjoy the journey.

Special Guest: Crystal Kokal Free giveaway https://www.paulieskaja.com/opt-in1   In this heartfelt episode of Live Into Your Best Life, I sit down with my sister, Crystal Kokal, for a deeply personal conversation about our childhood, the values instilled in us, and the way those experiences have shaped our adult lives. We reminisce about growing up on a remote farm, where our tight-knit family of four created unbreakable bonds. Those formative years taught us the importance of resilience, adaptability, and connection—qualities that continue to guide us today. Crystal shares how her love for planning and travel led her to a career in the travel industry, driven by a desire to help our parents reconnect with distant family. But life, as always, had its twists and turns. She opens up about raising two incredible sons—one who navigated complex systems due to his brilliance and another who overcame medical challenges to thrive. Through it all, she remained steadfast in her commitment to giving back, recalling a major fundraising effort where she helped collect thousands of blankets for Project Linus to support children in need. We also explore how our mother’s love for cooking influenced Crystal’s entrepreneurial journey. She candidly shares her transition from being a full-time caretaker to rediscovering her passion and skills in a new way. The challenges of major career pivots—especially after global events like 9/11 and COVID—led her to embrace entrepreneurship, launching Sassy Frost, a thriving business specializing in custom sugar cookies and decorating classes. What started as a creative outlet has blossomed into a fulfilling venture that blends artistry, teaching, and community building. Throughout our conversation, we reflect on the ways childhood experiences shape our mindset, the impact of strong family values, and the importance of allowing children to explore their strengths without rigid expectations. Key Takeaways: Childhood experiences and family values shape lifelong resilience. Career pivots can be opportunities for self-discovery and reinvention.

Special Guest: Elizabeth Peak Free giveaway https://www.paulieskaja.com/opt-in1   In this powerful episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Peak, a multifaceted entrepreneur, to explore the deep connection between authenticity, personal growth, and business branding. Elizabeth shares how embracing intuition and aligning our inner and outer selves can unlock creativity, confidence, and success. We dive into her work in photography, branding, and styling, where she helps individuals showcase their essence through personal branding. Elizabeth explains the importance of feeling safe in one’s body, not just for self-expression but for genuine confidence in business and life. As we navigate an AI-driven world, we also discuss the shift toward personal branding and why real human connection is more valuable than ever. Elizabeth shares her personal journey of growing up in a highly conservative and isolating environment that resembled a cult. Raised with rigid gender roles, she was taught that women are "owned" first by their fathers and then by their husbands. This belief system led to an arranged marriage and an early life filled with restrictions that stifled her autonomy. Through deep reflection and personal growth, she realized how these teachings left her vulnerable to control and manipulation. We discuss how conservative communities can inadvertently set women up for abusive relationships by discouraging boundary-setting and self-agency. Elizabeth opens up about how her father’s traumatic childhood shaped his views on women, perpetuating generational cycles of dysfunction. However, she makes it clear that her journey has led her to a place of self-awareness and healing, allowing her to set strong emotional and physical boundaries. While she has moved away from certain aspects of her religious upbringing, she acknowledges that her journey is about personal choice, not rejection of faith. Key Takeaways: Intuition is a powerful tool for personal and professional growth. True confidence comes from aligning your inner self with your outward expression. Childhood experiences shape our beliefs, but we have the power to rewrite our narratives. Setting boundaries is essential for healthy relationships and self-worth. Personal branding is about authenticity, not just aesthetics. Connect with Elizabeth through her website, Your Authentic Reflections, and her in-person women’s circle.
