    What do freezing temps and introverts have in common?

    This past week in Utah has been COLD. It got down to freezing temperature. What do people who are cold do? Put on a ton of layers, wrap themselves tight in the warmest blanket they can find, and get into their comfort zone. From a psychological level, all humans gravitate towards our comfort zones. Why?…

    What Is Your Insecurity Stopping You From Doing?

    As we grow up, as humans do, we unconsciously take on thoughts and beliefs that others offer up to us. When we were bullied, abused, neglected, told we’re different…we unconsciously made those things mean something about ourselves. We unknowingly create insecurities for ourselves that sounds like:● “I’m not good enough”● “I can’t do that”● “I’m…

  • The Success Method

    The Success Method

    How long have you been working on your goals…and they just stay that, goals? The reason that your goals aren’t becoming accomplishments faster isn’t that you don’t have a sensational work ethic; it’s because your work ethic isn’t being put to use in the most efficient way. You’re following society’s method for success instead of…

  • Don’t Take Candy From Strangers

    Don’t Take Candy From Strangers

    From a young age, we are taught what to believe. We are given baselines and guidelines on how to conduct our lives and what is considered “normal” or “acceptable” behavior. We don’t really question it…although we may sometimes test the boundaries.    We create and adopt beliefs in order to protect ourselves and/or make sense…

  • Living Your Life Without A Buffer

    Living Your Life Without A Buffer

    Let’s be honest with each other…no one enjoys feeling negative emotions. It’s not that they can’t be useful or shouldn’t ever be present; but they just don’t feel good. So what does it mean to live life without a buffer? If we were to boil it down to it’s simplest form, it’s the willingness to…

  • Boundaries

    Boundaries

    What is a boundary and why should we set them? Just like we have physical boundaries of our homes (walls, windows, doors, fences, etc.), we also can create emotional boundaries for ourselves and our relationships. Boundaries are something we put in place as a means of protection and empowerment. To set a boundary, you basically…

  • Where The Hell Do Emotions Come From?

    Where The Hell Do Emotions Come From?

    Why do we as humans yearn for the new house; the new relationship; or new job? Because of how we believe we will feel when we have it. Today we’re going to talk about feelings and emotions—specifically where they come from and how to build awareness around them. First, let’s talk about why emotions are…

  • How To Process Emotions–Especially Negative Ones

    How To Process Emotions–Especially Negative Ones

    Over the last couple weeks, I’ve been doing a LOT of coaching on how to process emotions. It all starts out the same way—someone doesn’t like how they are feeling or thinking and want to change it. Innocent enough, right? Who doesn’t want to feel or think better!? But what they don’t see is how…

  • How To Build Trust With Yourself

    How To Build Trust With Yourself

    Do you trust yourself? Most people will answer YES to this question (especially when they feel good); however, their behavior tells a different story. Look at the commitments you make to yourself. Do you keep them? I’m not talking about big commitments I’m talking about the little things day-to-day—diet; exercise; getting up when the alarm…

  • Listening to Yourself

    Listening to Yourself

    Some say people who talk to themselves are crazy. I completely disagree. I think people who talk to themselves are smart. Why? Because this is how you get the opportunity to challenge unhelpful beliefs. I’m not a huge fan of social media. It takes away time with the endless scroll. I love seeing what people…
