Telling a good story has the ability to move minds and shift perspectives, and this podcast is a powerful way that I’m paying that forward each week. So, in the spirit of impactful storytelling, I’m sharing three stories that will ignite littl
We've all been there—criticism that feels like a knockout punch, leaving us questioning our path and purpose. But criticism doesn't have to be a synonym for defeat.Today, I want to give us a refresh and a new four-step process to help guide you
You have to give yourself the same love and support that you'd give somebody that you really care about, who has an idea they want to make real. You might not know what yours is, but we all have things that are little twinkles of possibility in

I talk a lot about turning ideas into real things and sometimes want to escape the part that's happening now because we think it's going to be so much better later on. This is what we call hedonistic adaptation.In this episode, I give you three
For many of us, when we get so attached to the shiniest, best version of something we want to do, sometimes we never actually act on it. So instead of loving the things we're working on and the work we're doing, we sort of stay in discontent wi
