In this episode, we are diving into the power of quarterly self-questioning to help you stay aligned with your goals and to feel more intentional and present with your time.

As we enter the second quarter of 2024, I encourage you to pause and reflect on the past few months through the concept of "self-inventory," a practice of checking in with yourself to evaluate what's been happening in your life, how you feel about it, and where you want to go next.

Through honest self-reflection, I'll guide you through my simple series of questions designed to uncover insights about your true experiences and real progress.

By honestly assessing successes, challenges, and areas for improvement, you are more empowered to take proactive steps toward aligning your actions with your aspirations. Whether it's celebrating achievements, adjusting priorities, or setting new goals, it is key to emphasize the importance of being true to yourself throughout this journey of personal growth and development.

Listeners are encouraged to join in this practice, whether through journaling or mindful contemplation, to gain clarity, honesty, and renewed purpose in creating the life they desire.

On today's episode, we're discussing the transformative power of "Glimmers", and the practice of finding those tiny moments of joy, awe, peace, or serenity.

Drawing from the insights of licensed clinical social worker Deb Dana, this episode dives into the significance of noticing and appreciating these small but powerful moments. From savoring the perfect sip of morning coffee to witnessing acts of kindness from strangers, "Glimmers" send signals of safety to our nervous system, and help train our brain for the BETTER.

I am sharing my own rituals around Glimmers and practical tips for incorporating this mindset shift into regular daily our routines. And I PROMISE.... it's so worth it.

Whether you're looking for a little inspiration, guidance, or simply a reminder to pause and appreciate the beauty around you, this episode will leave you feeling uplifted and inspired.

After 2 months of working behind the scenes, I'm back with a slight rebrand of my own, and this episode is the beginning guide through the art of intentional rebranding, without the need to uproot everything all at once.

It's an invitation to recalibrate, not just for our own benefit but to uplift those around us as well.

No more all-or-nothing mentality. This is exactly how to set ambitious goals, break them down realistically, and establish a baseline for daily progress.

You know the drill - what you think creates what you feel, what you feel drives what you do, what you do becomes your lifestyle, and your lifestyle IS your reality.

But what about when we are feeling... blah... unmotivated... stuck... discouraged... unable to stick to our plans... or life is just really taking it out of you?

The part of this cycle that we are focusing on in today's episode is this, the driving factors that cause how we ACT. To do so, we're tapping into a highly successful therapy modality called "Behavioral Activation".
We'll discuss how you can intentionally choose the direction of your life in an instant by getting into the habit of CHOOSING actions that stimulate an upward spiral of positivity, even when motivation seems to be playing hide and seek. (Of course, we will be breaking down exactly what this means and how to do it)

This episode is full of strategies for creating more control over your actions in a way that drives your life in the direction that YOU choose.
Most importantly, a guide through the most crucial step of breaking the cycle of inactivity and low mood by taking the right intentional actions for ourselves.

The power of small acts of self-care and personal commitment have the power to transform your entire trajectory and help you up show up for yourself in the way you KNOW you can.

So join me this week as we discuss the power of transforming thoughts into purposeful action through Behavioral Activation!

Have you heard of the concept of co-creation of your reality?

You can think of this like switching from the role of an actor who has little control over the script, to moving into the director's seat in terms of your life.

This is about intentionally creating luck, and creating a space for luck and serendipitous little happenings to come to you!

This episode explores a new framework for looking at our perceived roadblocks, insights to help you navigate them, and the potential to transform them into opportunities for success.

This conversation will challenge you to explore the possibility of changing your story for something better, and to get absolutely READY for exactly what you want out of this reality.

Are you ready to welcome a little magic into your life?
