It's been said that rejection is protection or rejection is redirection. Either way, those sayings are all about finding the good and the growth opportunities in rejection. In this episode I share my experience with rejection, including my "Year of the No." That's right, I went through a year-long period of getting rejected, but guess what? I'm still here! I came through that year a much stronger person and I learned a lot during that time. Let's chat!

This year I planted a garden for the first time and as I've joyously watched my plants grow, it has taught me an amazing lesson about abundance and how it's truly all around us. Having an abundance mindset can change your life and helps bring good things into your world. Do you have a story to share about your experiences with abundance? Leave a comment and let me know!

The term "zone of genius" might sound lofty or even unattainable, but did you know that we all have a genius zone? Did you know that we have other zones, including those of excellence, competence, and incompetence? So many of us get stuck operating in these lower zones because they're comfortable, and sometimes, lucrative. But, staying in these zones often costs us something huge and we miss out on reaching our full potential. In this episode I briefly explain the concept of the "zone of genius" as defined by Gay Hendricks, author of The Big Leap, and share how I recently made the decision to walk away from my "zone of excellence" in order to embrace my genius - the things that bring me the most joy and fulfillment.

In this episode I share how my dark night of the soul in 2018 led me into the world of personal development. We all go through periods where we feel like we're fumbling in a dark cave, but we have to remember that no matter what we're going through, the world is full of people willing to lend us a flashlight so we can find our way out of the darkness, we just have to take that first step.

Do you believe that influence can be a form of leadership? In this week’s episode I explore a concept that Andy Frisella recently talked about on his podcast Real AF, where he posed the belief that when we improve ourselves, we influence others in our immediate circle and even our communities. This influence is a form of leadership since people look at the progress we’ve made and our influence creates a ripple effect that can build toward a movement. Also, I challenge viewers to a homework assignment that will allow you to capitalize on your own unique type of influence. Have an idea for a future show?

At one time or another most of us have found ourselves in situations where we don't feel qualified or like we don't have any business in a role, job, or achievement we've earned. We think that sooner or later someone's going to realize we're a fraud. This feeling of being afraid we're going to be "found out" is known as imposter syndrome and it's pretty prevalent, but that doesn't mean you have to accept it. In fact, one way to move past it is to contiously do things that prove your capabilities to yourself. Like this video? Comment, like, share or subscribe. Let's talk!

Have you ever approached a hobby or task from an open or eager place without expecting to fail? Or have you watched a child do something with a confident, yet playful attitude? This is beginner's mind in action. In this episode I share what beginner's mind is, how we can lose it, and why it's important to practice a beginner's mind in our every day life. This topic was inspired by a personal development book I'm currently reading called Built Through Courage: Face Your Fears to Live the Life You Were Meant For, by Dave Hollis.

Have you ever wanted something so badly that once you've gotten it, you've held back a part of yourself because you're convinced the "real you" is unworthy of what you want? Have you woken up one day to realize you don't even recognize the person you are anymore, that you've held back so much that you've lost yourself? This often happens in romantic relationships, but it can materialize in a job, a friendship, or other situation. In this episode we talk over why this happens and how to find yourself again.
