114: How Humility Has Helped Me Learn to Recover Quicker!

They say- what goes up, must go down. And today we are talking about just that. We know that life is always going to ebb and flow with highs and lows. But what most people do, is stay in the valley too long. I know I have done that before and over the last six months I have really learned the power of humility in regards to recovering from life's set backs faster.
In today's episode I share a big revelation I have had in how powerful being HUMBLE is in these seasons of life. I know the lessons I share with you today are going to bring you courage, inspiration and the reminder that you wherever you are now- you are on the right path!

113: How to Reduce Decision Fatigue As Busy Moms of Littles

Do you have a hard time following through? Do you struggle knowing what to make for dinner, wear to work, or making simple choices? You probably have decision fatigue and are carrying the "mental load" of motherhood. We can't ever fully get rid of this, because that is just life but we can greatly reduce our decision fatigue with some simple steps.
Why do we need to do this? Because if we, as moms, don't do this- we become a shell of a human. It is the reason we snap at our spouse, are too tired at the end of the workday to actually play with our kids, and stop dreaming bigger dreams.
Here is what I breakdown today:
1. Create simplicity with routines
2. Stop procrastinating!
3. How to outsource and ask for help

110: The True Meaning of NEVER Giving Up With Brendan Loney

Brendan Loney is a 34 year old quadriplegic thriving in a world that he never thought could be possible. When Brendan was 21 years old, his entire life changed when a seemingly normal weekend at cabin with friends, turned into a life changing moment. He took a dive off a dock and found himself being rushed to the hospital and receiving the news that he was paralyzed. That one decision would change the rest of his life. He could have been defeated, bitter, and given up. Instead, Brendan has taken this opportunity to showcase that life is always worth living and to never give up. The last decade has been dedicated to living his best life and showing others they can always make the choice choose to live life to the fullest.
Have you ever suffered from a sudden or traumatic setback? Have you had something that has turned your life upside down? How did you react to it? No matter what you've experience or been through, you need to listen to Brendan's story and share this episode with anyone you know who needs a reminder to live life to the fullest!
