Text your thoughts and questions!As the saying goes, “The only constant in life is change.” The extent of that change and how it unfolds can vary, sometimes feeling fairly minor and other times throwing us completely off balance, shaking the foundation of who we believe ourselves to be. When change happens, you may feel unsure of how to move forward. I have experienced this many times, and I’ve come to both respect the challenges it presents and appreciate the growth it brings. I hope to shar...
Text your thoughts and questions!It is problematic that we tend to look at being productive as a standalone thing, without considering the other aspects of our lives. The reality is that life doesn’t happen in a vacuum and even the small things can have an impact. Everything we are and feel, especially grief, affects what we do and how we do it. This week, episode 223 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about how to live a productive life while grieving.In this episode of the Positively Livi...
Text your thoughts and questions!Content Warning: Today’s conversation has very brief mentions of the loss of a loved one, and the loss of a child by suicide. If these are triggers for you, I gently encourage you to wait to listen or proceed carefully. Grief is a universal human experience, yet it can feel deeply isolating when we’re in the throes of it, often feeling hopeless and stuck. It can be difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak, and feel impossible to mo...
Text your thoughts and questions!Content Warning: Today’s conversation involves mention of medical trauma and near-death experiences. If these are triggers for you, I gently encourage you to wait to listen or proceed carefully. Grief is so much more than losing a loved one. We can grieve after breakups and when we purposely choose to change; we can even grieve the loss of opportunity and parts of ourselves as we grow and age. But when society has conditioned us to grit it out when faced ...
Text your thoughts and questions!Clutter is so much more than the physical stuff surrounding you. As Peter Walsh says, it’s anything that gets between you and the life you want to live. Clutter threads itself through every aspect of your life, impacting mental well-being, productivity, and overall quality of life. But luckily for us, decluttering even in the smallest amounts has a profound, almost instantaneous impact on our lives. This week, episode 220 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is a...
Text your thoughts and questions!Imposter syndrome is something we’ve all experienced to some extent. It’s the culmination of our limiting beliefs that paralyze us in the moment and keep us from moving forward, which is why we need to free ourselves from it. Nicole Majik joins me on the podcast to shed light on what imposter syndrome looks like, how it’s connected to needs, beliefs, and experiences, and the steps we can take to turn it around and heal the past. This week, episode 219 of the P...
Text your thoughts and questions!When we look at high-achieving professionals, great leaders, and anyone considered successful, the first things we notice are their abilities, talents, strategies, and determination. We zone in on the hard skills, but soft skills are essential. In particular, there is an area of self-management that not only paves a path to success, it’s the key to combating stress, coming back from burnout, and helping you prioritize self-care in a way you haven’t before. Cha...
Text your thoughts and questions!If you struggle to stay on task when working alone, you’re not the only one. One way to combat this is using a powerful productivity technique called “body doubling”. It’s a simple technique that supercharges your focus by simply working side-by-side with others. This week, episode 217 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about how to use body doubling to focus better on tasks. In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I’m sharing what body doubl...
Text your thoughts and questions!When we think of shame as an emotion, we can see how it doesn’t serve us, or rather, doesn’t help move us forward the way we want it to. But when we shift our mindset to view shame as another tool in our toolbox, we can understand why it is present and learn to pick up other, more helpful tools instead. Valerie Friedlander joins me on the podcast today to share how this shame tool, that we’ve learned to use for motivation, negatively impacts our self-trust and...
Text your thoughts and questions!Do you notice how your energy levels fluctuate throughout the day? The energy lulls and dips that you feel like you’re pushing through? While this certainly could relate to your sleep schedule or even be a sign of burnout, there is also a natural cycle in our bodies that causes these variations. This cycle is called the ultradian rhythm and, like most things, the more we understand it, the better we can use it to our advantage. This week, episode 215 of the Po...
Text your thoughts and questions!Morning routines, although effective for some, are not for everyone. And that’s ok! At its core, a morning routine is just that, a routine. It’s a specific window of time in which you’re aiming to complete a habit or set of habits requiring energy and focus. When you break it down, you can easily see how this concept can be taken and applied differently, yet, just as effectively at your preferred time of day. This week, episode 214 of the Positively LivingⓇ Po...
Text your thoughts and questions!We all want to be in alignment because we know it’s a good thing. But what does being in alignment actually mean? And what are we aligning ourselves and our businesses to? Chantelle Andercastle joins me on the podcast today as we break down this buzzword and figure out how we can start taking aligned action. This week, episode 213 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about making better decisions when you align your actions!Chantelle Andercastle is a mentor to...
Text your thoughts and questions!Being ethical is defined as conforming to a standard of what’s right and good. While there are definitely certain practices that obviously fit that, there are also many grey areas that we may not agree with, but are not technically unethical practices either. In my conversation today with guest Sarah Heeter, our conversation of what it means to be an ethical coach naturally transitioned into being ethically aligned with colleagues, collaborators, and coa...
Text your thoughts and questions!Being a mom and an entrepreneur is quite the combo and certainly not for the faint of heart. Today’s guest and fellow mompreneur, Reena Friedman Watts, knows this to be true. She returns to the podcast to share her experiences and challenges as she navigates life transitions while seemingly juggling it all. This week, episode 211 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about life and business advice from a multi-passionate mom entrepreneur!Reena Friedman Watts is...
Text your thoughts and questions!During Mental Health Awareness Month, I wanted to revisit the practice of gratitude, a topic we have covered on the podcast before and is a personal favorite of mine. Studies have shown that having a gratitude practice is a powerful, yet simple healing habit that has a direct impact on your mental wellbeing. This week, episode 210 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about one of the simplest habits that improves mental wellbeing!In this episode of the Positiv...
Text your thoughts and questions!In our hustle and grind world, it’s easy to get so focused on achievement that we forget about honoring and understanding life experiences in order to heal and grow. There’s a lot of irony in this because, in actuality, when we take care of our needs, instead of pushing past them for the sake of productivity, we actually become more productive. This week, episode 209 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about how to motivate yourself by meeting your needs firs...
Text your thoughts and questions!If you’re a creative person who has anxiety, you know how anxious thoughts and feelings can be a massive block when it comes to your creativity. But when we start to recognize and understand our anxiety we can learn to integrate it into our creative process and leverage it. Today’s guest, Gregory Halpen, knows this to be true as he faced his own journey of finding ways to manage his anxiety in a way that doesn’t hinder his creativity. This week, episode 208 of...
Text your thoughts and questions!Our mental health drives so many aspects of our lives and can either limit or lighten us. Thankfully, the more we understand it, the better we can tend to it, and the more likely we are to thrive. Holistic therapist Keri Cooper joins the podcast today to share how focusing on the physical foundations of wellness significantly impacts our mental health. This week, episode 207 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about how when you focus on physical wellness, yo...
Text your thoughts and questions!We often think of burnout as something obvious and big–where we cross a line and that’s it! We’re down for the count. But burnout is more nuanced than that and the early and more subtle signs can zip by us undetected, leading us to hit rock bottom and ask ourselves, “How did I get here?” This week, episode 206 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about the early signs of burnout that may surprise you!In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I share h...
Text your thoughts and questions!We often refer to all types of stress just as “stress” but there is a difference between eustress (good stress) and distress (bad stress). When we make this distinction, we’re able to clearly see how some stress can be a useful tool (is, in fact, necessary) for increasing productivity. This week, episode 205 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about why some stress actually helps you perform better. In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I sh...
