    How I Went From a Wreck to a Badass in 90 Seconds

    Last week I attended my first ever live mastermind event. It was more incredible than I could have imagined! But I didn’t feel that way going into it… When my husband dropped me off at the airport, I was trembling and shaking with anxiety. I was going to meet friends that I had only met…

    Learning How to Feel Better: The Best Game of Hide and Seek

    Do you remember playing hide and seek as a kid? I used to LOVE it! I was in gymnastics and was petit in my younger years so I could squeeze into strange places–laundry baskets, inside a cupboard or armoir, between furniture and the wall, etc. It was fun to be chased and looked for. I…

  • The Ultimate Paradox: The need for good and bad?

    The Ultimate Paradox: The need for good and bad?

    Something I have struggled with, and that I see my clients struggling with, is this fantasy that our personalities are all-or-nothing. What I mean by this is that we don’t want to allow ourselves to be complex multidimensional beings. Ex. We’re either always committed or we’re lazy and terrible. Who put this bullsh*t rule into…

  • Your Inner Critic

    Your Inner Critic

    “You’re not good enough.” “There is no way you could do that.” “You can’t do as well as someone else, so it’s not even worth doing.” Does any of the above sound familiar? If you’re like me and my clients, that little critical voice in your head is ever-present…just poking at you. Negative self-talk is…

    Confidence and your Subconscious

    Do you ever feel insecure when going out to meet a group of people because you’re afraid they’ll judge you? Or how about feeling like you are not in control of your life and everything is just happening to you? Our subconscious mind interprets what’s happening around us and then stores that information out of…

  • I need to make a public confession…

    I need to make a public confession…

    I’m not who you think I am. I’m not Mr. Positive all the time. I’m not always as excited or engaged as I show in my videos. I’m quiet and contemplative. I live in my head most of the time. I prioritize myself over others. I spend a lot of my “free time” watching tv…

    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?

    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…
