The question: “How are you?”. The common reply: “Busy”. Here’s the thing, you don’t have to constantly be going and doing. Successful and productive people can rest and they should if they want to be their best. I’m not talking about sleeping (though that’s important too). I mean being still, resting your mind or zoning out watching TV. You are worthy of rest. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

The cultural belief of true success is to Never Be Satisfied. The Never Settle/Nothing is Good Enough/Hustle Mode mindset means never being satisfied.  Is that really a successful happy life?  Doesn’t dis-satisfaction mean focusing on the negative and preventing gratitude?  What if being satisfied doesn’t mean settling?  Can we accept where we are while still striving to do better? 

I used to be annoyed with people who seemed happy all the time.  I thought they were faking it.  Maybe some actually are happy all the time but how?? I think happiness is a choice.

I choose Happy.  A statement I write in my journal every morning because I think happiness is a choice and I need that daily reminder to choose happy. 

Of course you can’t just say I’m happy and BOOM, you’re happy….in Episode 7 I’m talking about how to choose happy.

When asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I would always reply – “a Mom”.  At the age of 22, my doctor said I was young and “it will happen”…..only it didn’t.

In honor of Infertility Survivor Day on Sunday, May 3rd – I’m sharing my infertility story in hopes of bringing awareness, understanding and hope.

The way you start your day sets the tone for your entire day. I was the “not a morning person” type. I would sleep until the very last second and then rush around to get to where I need to be. I knew something had to change. Now I’m sharing how the morning routine that fills me with positivity and help me start the day with a clear head and a productive mindset.

We’re over 4 weeks in now to this quarantine life – we have this all figured out, right? Not quite. Navigating through this crazy time in life, I think we all still have a lot to learn. In today’s episode I’m sharing my best practices for making it through this time, not just alive but happy and thriving.

Home 24/7 and yet you say “where did the day go” or “when will this day end?” Or maybe “What day is it?” Just because we have “all this time” at home, doesn’t mean we will get to all those projects or even be productive. Maybe you’re working from home for the first time or or you’re homeschooling for the first time or maybe both? Feeling busy all day but in the end feeling like you really didn’t accomplish anything? Yep, I’ve been there! Working from home the last 18 years, I’ve got some ideas that might help. Today I’m sharing 5 basic tips and exactly what my daily schedule looks like plus what a day of online schooling looks like for my 12 year old, to help you stay sane, while staying home.

Episode 1: 3 Steps to Staying Positive
Strategies for our current situation, even if you’re listening to this episode post- the covid19 outbreak, I think you’ll still appreciate the thoughts and strategies I’m sharing because we won’t be talking about the virus specifically, more about how to stay positive and that you can relate to any situation.

Now more than ever, we have to stay positive! With so much uncertainty right now it’s hard to stay positive and hopeful. I get it but what you think, you become. That means what you think about most determines how you feel. But what if it feels like there’s nothing positive to focus on? That’s what we’re talking about today -> How to find a positive focus.

My phone is showing me there are 3 days of in the 10 day forecast.

Of course on the one day I decide to just get up and ready to sub, I don’t get called in Oh well. It’s been a super productive morning!
