Episode 67: Clarity + Quality Time
Here's something I've been telling tons of clients lately: if you want clarity on a topic, one of the easiest + simplest first steps you should take is to spend quality time with your topic or problem or question.
In this podcast episode, I talk about what quality time is, what it isn't, and I get practical about how you can, more tactically, have "quality time" with whatever it is that you want clarity about.
Episode 66: One More Things (My New Year's Suggestion)
The new year is upon us — and I'm not really a new year's resolution kind of person.
So today on this podcast episode, I want to share one thing that is really top of mind for me, personally, as we enter the new year. This is a simple idea that doesn't require willpower or a full tank of energy.
Episode 65: 3 personal examples of Rightness
As I prepare for my upcoming course, "How To Know What You Want," I have been thinking a lot about how to make decisions, "Rightness," and knowing what you want.
So today, I wanted to talk about these topics from a personal lens.
I share 3 examples of recent decisions that I made that had Rightness to them - and how I came to those decisions.
Episode 64: What "Rightness" is (and what it *isn't*)
In this episode, I share about what "Rightness" is, and why it matters. Why do we even care about Rightness?
I also talk a bit about what Rightness isn't. Sometimes I think understanding how things don't operate can give us a lot of insight about how to cultivate them.
Episode 63: All about my new course: "How To Know What You Want"
For this first time, *ever*, I'm offering a course! The course is called “How To Know What You Want” — and has been over a decade in the making.
In today's podcast, I wanted to tell you all about the course — from me, directly. I'm sharing what we'll cover, who it's for, and all the logistics (when it's happening, when to sign up, price, and more).
Episode 62: Journaling for clarity
In this podcast episode, I talk about journaling for clarity - or journaling to figure out what you want or what you think about something.
I discuss the common mistake I see people make + I mention 16 questions that you can use to inspire your journaling. Here they are!
Episode 61: “Because I want to” is a reason (and might be the *best* reason)
I talk to a lot of people who are in the process of figuring out what they want. There's often one thing that I’m listening for — or feeling for — in those conversations, and that is: “because I want to.”
So in this podcast episode, I clarify what I mean by this and share why this is helpful + address some of the objections I suspect you’re probably already having.
Episode 60: "How do I make sure it's not ‘Grass Is Greener Syndrome'?" (Q&A)
Today in this podcast episode, I am answering a question from a newsletter subscriber.
Alexine asks: How do you check in with yourself before making a major move to check it's not "grass is greener" syndrome?
Episode 59: My new favorite practice (that’s not journaling)
In this podcast episode, I share with you my new favorite practice — that's not journaling.
I discovered it about a month ago when I was feeling pretty discouraged. I was frustrated with myself and I wanted to find a way to pull myself out of that moment. Typically, I'd do some journaling in that kind of moment — but it wasn't possible, and I also didn't *want* to.
Episode 58: Balancing your energy "budget"
I suspect that many of you reading this have emergency funds, IRA's, and ETF portfolios.
I also suspect that you may be living "month-to-month," when it comes to your energy. You never seem to have much reserves, and you're always just a smidge stressed, tired, or frantic.
Episode 57: When things don’t come “naturally”
Is there some area of your life that doesn't come "naturally"? Maybe it's some element of your work, parenthood, friendship, marriage, or even a hobby.
If so, this podcast episode is for you.
We want to be skillful at something, and we want it to come easily. And when it’s hard, when we work for it, we can feel frustrated and insecure.
Episode 56: One way to reduce stress + hours when you're a leader
I was working with two clients (who are both leaders and managers) in the past week, and I was giving them both very similar coaching.
Whenever that happens, I think: I should make a podcast about this.
(Think this episode doesn't apply to you because you aren't an official "manager"? I define leadership quite broadly, so there's a good chance the ideas I share will be helpful to you, too.)
Episode 55: Edward’s Story
In this episode, I’m sharing an interview with my client Edward. Edward is a husband, a father of four, an avid traveler, and a business owner and consultant.
In our interview, he shares how he felt like his life was pretty good, but also felt off in ways he couldn't put his finger on.
Episode 54: Making reading (almost) as easy as Instagram — and more fun
This podcast episode is about reading, and how to help yourself read more.
I love reading, but that’s actually not why I’m making the argument for doing it more.
It’s because reading satisfies a very tricky set of conditions, in our modern lives: something that you can do, when you are completely exhausted, that does not have problematic side effects — and may actually make your life better.
Episode 53: One obstacle to clarity
I coach on clarity — or figuring out what you want — a lot.
I’ve realized recently there’s one thing that gets in the way of clarity with almost every client, at one point or another.
And that obstacle is: thinking too much about implementation before clarity is established.
Episode 52: Adaptability
Today in this podcast episode, I offer an idea that came up - as so many of my favorite ideas do - in working with one of my clients.
That idea is: adaptability.
Episode 51: How I grew + run my coaching business
I’ve been coaching for a decade now, and my business has grown quite a bit. I frequently get asked about how I grew my business, how I run it now, and how I think about the business of coaching.
In today’s episode of my podcast, I answer some of these questions, as well as give a short summary of the state of my business.
Episode 50: Dealing with professional + creative rejection (Q&A)
Today, I'm answering another question in today's podcast episode from a newsletter subscriber. Emily asks:
“When do you know if it's the right time for a career change? or How to deal with rejection?”
Episode 49: An idea for traveling
In the self-development space, there's often so much content about "seizing the new year."
I can sometimes find it exhausting, so today, I wanted to share a shortie podcast episode with an idea that you might not even use just yet. Today, let's talk about travel.
I share the story of how I realized this little idea was worth sharing + a little more about how I implement it.
Episode 48: How I started a women's group — and how you can, too.
If you’re starting to dream about the new year, I want to propose something that would significantly improve your year in this podcast episode: Start a women’s group in 2025.
