It's not about what you want to do, but it's about how you want to FEEL. This year, I ditched traditional goal setting and decided not to create an exhausting laundry list of yearly goals. I simply thought about my feelings and focused on creating experiences based on how I want to feel. Join me as I discuss the 2023 Experience and as I share something very beautiful, I experienced in January of this year.   Did you enjoy this episode?

It's often said that if you operate in your gifts and in your passion, opportunities will easily come and doors will open for you. I have said it on this show and so have my guests. But what about those people who have been trying for years without a breakthrough? It's easy for this phrase to be misleading and confusing for the people who have been putting in 110% with no results. Quite frankly it can be downright frustrating. In this episode, I discuss how this phrase is both true and misleading and what you can do to finally get doors to open up for you. Did you enjoy this episode?

Let's Get R.E.A.L.! You can put on facades to try and make people see you as something different than what you are. You can put on a mask to hide your trauma, feelings, and your true self.

Why not just accept your past and your present and build a brighter future?

Quick Question. Have you ever felt like you were shifting into growth, and your relationships were not shifting with you?   I am not a therapist and I don't pretend to be, but I have lived life.  One valuable life lesson I've learned is that when you grow and evolve, there are some relationships that don't grow with you. This can be very difficult, but it's the truth. You can't expect friendships, relationships, or business partnerships to last forever.  Although there are some that will last a lifetime, there are many that won't last a season. Sometimes severing ties and placing distance is unavoidable.  It's a part of life AND its ongoing.  You may get to the point where you are just not on the same page as the people you have in your life. Then, you have to change the relationship to move forward.  The process doesn't have to be contentious, but this difficult decision may be the best change to step into your zone of success.  Jim Rohn once said "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with, including yourself." Who are you spending your time with? Are they adding to you or subtracting from you? Do you need to make a shift in your relationships to move to the next level in your life? These are the questions you must ask yourself, and only you can answer them.  In this episode I discuss shifting your relationships to shift into growth. It's a conversation we must have with ourselves. Let's talk about it. Did you enjoy this episode?

Some of us have had some serious struggles with our weight. But is the war really with our weight or with ourselves?  Listen to my conversation with weight war coach Brit Tafoya "The Weight Warrior Woman" as we discuss how she shifted into a better understanding of herself and body, lost a MASSIVE 85 pounds in just six months, AND how she has managed to keep it off for 11 years! This episode will give you a jump start into tackling the war on weight, by first winning the war with yourself. Bio Brit Tafoya 11 years ago after giving birth to twin girls Weight Loss Personal Development Coach-Brit Tafoya also known as The Weight War Coach, decided she wanted to be a healthier mom & health-embracing role model to her 3 girls. She wanted to lose the 90LBS of baby weight a healthy way, and lose it for good!  Prior to her quest, Brit suffered with weight issues since the age of 13. Growing up being made fun of for the size of her arms or legs-made her feel disconnected from herself, and made her resent her body; and try very unhealthy methods to lose weight. Brit was always in a battle with her body & weight, until God spoke to her and let her know she was hurting her body with the extreme dieting behaviors & lack of interest in what was actually going on inside of her body; her health & well-being.   She transformed her “starve then binge eat mentality” and lost all of her baby weight in 6 months. She then went on to become a natural bikini competitor placing top 3 in her first ever body building competition    It’s been 11 years since she decided to take her power back over her mind, body & habits and now she helps women who are in the same spiral of losing & gaining weight transform their lives permanently and build a new relationship with food and caring for their bodies.   Brit Tafoya's Long Term Weight Loss program - Weight Loss Mastery-Life Training teaches women how to be the leader in their own weight loss transformation. Brit Tafoya teaches the 3 Powerful principles that restored her joy and transformed her body, losing 85 pounds over 10 years ago and keeping it off permanently.
