[podcast_episode episode="22952" ]Life is a classroom, and there are always opportunities to continue learning. For me, August led to a lot of learning and insights as well as my re-entry back to work after some time off. So over the next few episodes, I’ll be unpacking everything I learned in August. When we are struggling with something, […]
[podcast_episode episode="22914" ]A lot of us are good at struggling. We know how to do it, we work really hard with grit and resilience, and it is familiar to us. One of the things that can happen to us as humans is our strengths can become our weaknesses. We know how to work hard and struggle, but […]
[podcast_episode episode="22912" ]Do you know that you are someone who you can trust to get things done for you? You’ve often heard me say that your relationship with yourself is the most important relationship in your life. It’s the foundation for everything else. We have been culturally programmed to believe we must put ourselves last. We take […]
[podcast_episode episode="22906" ]Do you remember those carefree days of being 11? There was so much time to squander, nothing to do, and no stress; the days were magical and amazing. As we grow, we find ourselves with more to do, more responsibility, and less of the freedom we had in the summer of 11. We long for […]
[podcast_episode episode="22898" ]Do you have the weight of the world on your shoulders? Do you take on more than your share of responsibility?

[podcast_episode episode="22894" ]About 10 to 12 years ago, I saw a sign that I loved and I bought it. It is still in my kitchen because it contained such an important quote for me to remember. It was a sign that says “We can do hard things.” I have always done hard things. But over the years, […]
[podcast_episode episode="22891" ]Before I started this show back in the early 2000s, I naively thought that successful people were the chosen ones. I thought that we all had something we needed to learn to discover their secrets so we could have the life they have. But since then, I’ve come to learn that this isn’t the case. […]
[podcast_episode episode="22886" ]Life is relentless. We need to make sure we fill ourselves up with things that delight us, and a way to do this is to save our money to buy things that light us up.
