Ep. 74 - The Power of the Intentional Pause

Send a text What if the most strategic move you could make right now isn’t to push harder… or quit altogether… but to pause on purpose? In this episode, I introduce a third option we don’t talk about enough: the intentional pause. An intentional pause isn’t avoidance. It isn’t burnout. And it isn’t giving up. It has two key components: A conscious decision to stop something. A clear revisit date. Without a revisit date, it can feel like quitting. With one, it becomes leadership. I share wh...

Ep. 73 - "Miss It & Move On" The Mantra That Changes Everything

Send a text This episode is built around a simple phrase that has stayed with me for years, one that’s shaped how I coach, how I teach, and how I live my life. “Miss it and move on.” I first heard this from one of my best friends (Megan Spears) after I missed a movement practice and immediately went into guilt mode. Instead of a lecture or a pep talk, she simply said those four words and we moved on. No shame. No overcorrection. No spiraling. In this episode, I share where this mantra came...

Ep. 72 - Embrace The Shake: Progress Despite Limitations (inspired by artist Phil Hansen)

Send a text Most of us are great at following through on a plan… as long as nothing changes. But that’s not real life.

It’s the story of an artist, Phil Hansen, who developed a permanent tremor in his hand and was told by his doctor to “embrace the shake.” That simple phrase changed everything for him and it’s changed the way I think about progress, capac...

Send a text This episode came from a conversation I had with an entrepreneur who had a great year on paper but still felt scattered, overwhelmed, and reactive. So we went back to the basics. In this episode, I walk you through the foundational shifts that help you move from constantly reacting to your life and business… to feeling proactive, grounded, and in control again. Nothing fancy. Nothing complicated. Just the things that actually work. I share: Why 90-day goals create more clarity t...

Ep. 70 - Grit or Quit? How to Know When to Push and When to Let Go (inspired by Adam Grant)

Send a text We hear it all the time: don’t quit, finish what you start, push through. And while grit absolutely matters, there’s a side of this conversation we don’t talk about enough, knowing when it’s time to stop. In this episode, I share a personal story about intentionally breaking a 684-day habit streak and why that decision taught me more about progress than pushing ever could. I walk you through how to tell the difference between a commitment that deserves your grit and one that’s qu...
