One of the most impactful books I've ever read is Gay Hendricks’ The Big Leap. I find it helpful to revisit it in mid-January because it reminds me of this concept he discovered called “The Upper Limiting Problem.” In short, we each have a limit on how much abundance, success, and love we think we deserve. Once we start to get close to those thresholds, we self-sabotage and create chaos to stay within the boundaries we’re familiar with.  The key to tapping into your highest potential is to start observing where you hold yourself back. In this episode, I share four of my upper limits and how I’m actively working to break through them.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What “upper limiting” is  Signs you’re on the verge of becoming a better version of yourself How I break out of the procrastination cycle  Cultivating self-validation and confidence  The fastest way to get outside of yourself  RESOURCES The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks  Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

One of the most effective life hacks that I’ve discovered is this thing called Parkinson’s Law, which says, “work expands to fill the time available for its completion.” In other words, if you give yourself a month to do something, you’ll take every single day of that month to get it done. But, if you give yourself a week to do that same task, guess what?

One of the most common questions that I get in my DMs is how to get out of a rut when you’re feeling uninspired and burned out. My biggest piece of advice around that is to be intentional about seeking out inspiration and don’t be afraid to try out a different lane.  I always tune into music, watch a great comedian, or move my body in a way that gets me out of my same old routine. I soak in inspiration from other areas of my life and then apply that to my business, my talks, this show一really everything in my life!  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What to do when you’re feeling overwhelmed by personal development content  The importance of branching out into different genres in order to find inspiration Letting yourself play and experience new things  The power of witnessing other people sharing their inspiration  RESOURCES Thanks to Soul CBD for sponsoring the show!

But, Chris and I have made a commitment to consistently step into resistance because we know that we’ll be rewarded for it in the long run.  It can be so tempting to choose the easier, more comfortable option, but once you start training yourself to push through the resistance, all of the things that you really want are waiting for you on the other side.

When you start living authentically in every aspect of your life, you’ll magnetize the right people and opportunities into your orbit. This isn’t always an easy and graceful process, but I promise that it’s worth it.

I always say that I’m a graduate of “Google University” because instead of giving up when I don’t know something, I put it right into my search bar and go down the rabbit hole. Everytime we tell ourselves that we can’t do something or don’t have the resources, that’s the exact moment when we strip ourselves of our power.

In this week’s He Said She Said, Chris and I share our takeaways from this book and share with you our feelings on stress and how to manage it to create a winner’s mindset.

For years Chris and I were yes people, and for years we have watched others “yes” themselves to death. Now, we practice not just saying no to things that do not serve our greater vision and purpose but going beyond that and letting it be okay if we disappoint people by saying no. We have consistently learned from others who have beautiful boundaries to protect and who have thrived by doing so. When you say yes to everything, you water down your message. When you constantly say yes, you take yourself away from your primary vision and the message you want out in the world.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why you shouldn't say yes to every opportunity and should only say yes to what serves your agenda. We discuss the side effects of “yessing” yourself to death If you don’t get an immediate answer to a request, it doesn't mean to stop asking. We discuss how to not take it personally How and why it is harder for women to turn down opportunities and how women can overcome the fear of saying no How people react to your no is usually telling of how they will behave and show up for you down the line Why protecting boundaries and respecting others is so important   RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

I was recently listening to an episode of the Ed Mylett Show with Rory Vaden, and they brought up the difference between investing time versus spending time. It’s a simple idea, but it helped me realize that being intentional about what you’re doing and who you’re doing it with isn’t just about streamlining your schedule, but it’s also about moving the needle on your long-term goals and making your life better.

We all have fears, but how can you use them to propel you forward instead of hold you back? All you have to do is choose which fear you're going to feed and let that be the fuel that motivates you to achieve your big goals.    Chris and I discuss what fears really drive us, and how we use that to stay focused without letting it overwhelm us.

Most of us don't need to be adding things to our plate right now. In fact, taking things off your to-do list can actually help you make time for the people and experiences that really matter. When you scroll on social media, it can feel like everyone is doing more than you, but how can you look for ways to create value and fulfillment from doing less? I’ve found that taking a step back has magically expanded time and made me even more productive when I need to be in that mode. I want to challenge you this week to do less and give yourself time to connect with something or someone you love.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Reflecting on spending quality time with family and friends in Wisconsin  Detaching your self-worth from how busy you are  How you can actually get more done by doing less Evaluating if your routines are actually making you more stressed    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

During your downtime, do you catch yourself thinking about what you should be doing instead? Chris and I are working on shifting our language around those thoughts when they creep up and soaking up this time that we have in Wisconsin with our friends and family. It can be so easy to become the thief of your own peace by constantly focusing on what you should be doing to make more money and hit bigger goals.

If you don’t, then why are you even hustling in the first place?    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Recognizing when you’re sabotaging your own joy and peace  Looking at enjoyment as a sign that you'll be able to collapse time when you tap back into work mode Why making a better life is usually taking away things, not adding more to your to-do list An eye-opening journaling exercise from Four Thousand Weeks that really helped us get clear on our priorities    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

Nothing matters until you make it matter, good or bad. It can be so easy to spiral and focus your energy on things that are frustrating, upsetting, or just generally keeping you down. On the flip side, if you want to prioritize something, you have to be super intentional about that and make sure that you’re giving it the attention that it deserves. I’m trying to become a master of focusing my time and energy where it serves me best, enjoying my downtime, and being present with the people that I love.

If you're procrastinating and putting off your big goal because you want it to be perfect, that's just another version of an excuse. That might sound harsh, but it’s something I wish I would’ve heard when I was sitting in a lot of resistance. I’ve realized that it’s better to do whatever it takes to get the job done, and then learn on the other side. If you have to do more research and drag out your launch, it means you probably shouldn't be teaching it because you haven’t lived it yet.

Chris and I were coaching separate groups recently, and when we came together to talk about how the sessions went, we realized a lot of entrepreneurs are facing four similar challenges. We’ve noticed that many business owners are up against an audience problem, they’re not providing value to their audience, their content is stale, or they’re comparing their chapter one effort to someone else’s chapter nine results.

I’m joined by Jenna Kutcher, author of the new book How Are You Really, and host of The Goal Digger Podcast. Jenna’s book is a guided journey through asking yourself how you really are, who you really are, and what kind of life you really want. Jenna and I discuss how to become more aligned with your true purpose, understand who you are as you’re developing, and show up as your whole self in everything that you do.    I’ve always admired how fierce Jenna is with her boundaries and how she protects her peace in such a loving way.

One of the most common questions that I get from listeners who are trying to build their platform is how to become valuable enough so that people with more influence actually want to return the favor or collaborate. I’m not going to lie, it requires you going the extra mile and finding creative ways to stand out from the crowd, but I promise that the time and energy you put in will pay off. There are three main things that people want when they’re looking for an equal energy exchange, and in today’s episode, I break down what those are, plus a couple of bonus ones. I also share my top tips for how to approach communication with people you want to collab with and some of my personal experiences with getting on someone’s radar.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why you shouldn’t take it personally if you don’t get the response you want from someone you want to connect with  Understanding perceived value  What it means to value stack, and how you can implement that into your life  My advice for posting Reels and TikToks Examples of experiences, education, and things that you can offer to someone    RESOURCES Thanks a Little Passports for supporting my show.

What do you feel like is totally out of reach for you, and why? Maybe it’s hosting an event, launching a product, or adding on another service to your line up, but regardless of what arena you’re in, my number one piece of advice is to start small and scale from there. Lauren and I share examples of what it looks like to fine tune your idea and make it small enough so that you can get it off the ground. We discuss the importance of tapping into your message, audience, and marketing, and finding a through line that lets you show up as your authentic self in everything that you do. Plus, we recap what’s been going on with Lite Pink and our lives outside of work recently!    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Different avenues to reach your goals without taking huge risks  How to get people interested in your idea  Why we love collaborating with other people and small, local businesses  What a white-label product is and why you should look into it if want to get into the products-based business space  The three most important questions to ask yourself before you launch your business    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

Fear is the number one reason why people don’t take the first step to pursue their calling. For some, it's fear of failure or being judged, and for others, it looks like perfectionism or imposter syndrome. The list could go on forever, but the truth is, the things that you think are going to break you are the same things that are going to make you. Challenges come up to test our strength and dedication to our dream, and what you do in those moments reveal you who you really are. There’s so much knowledge, joy, and success on the other side of those hard times, but are you willing to put in the work to make it there? I share how I handled a couple of mindset challenges that came at me this week and ways to reframe your perspective about hardship and pain.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How fear shows up in fancy disguises  Practicing showing up as the person that you want to be  How my relationship with challenge and pain has changed  Extracting lessons and silver linings from hard situations    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

We’ve finally had some time to really reflect about our vacation to the Amalfi Coast and want to share some of our biggest takeaways from the trip. Our friend Rob Murgatroyd curated so many beautiful experiences as part of his Work Hard Play Hard Mastermind and we were able to really soak up the Italian culture, art, food, and fashion. We talk about getting clarity on how we’re going to balance the joy and production containers of our lives, and our commitment to making time for new, enriching experiences in our week.    We learned about the Italian saying “Dolce Far Niente,” which means the sweetness of doing nothing, observing beauty, and enjoying life in the moment. Chris and I want to take time to be more present in our everyday lives and worry less about things that we don’t have control over. This trip proved to us that a vacation doesn't have to be just a moment in time一we can extend this sense of peace and wonder into our everyday lives.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Examples of how Italians value both form and function, and beauty for beauty’s sake  Why we’re cutting off work at 1PM on Fridays for the next few months  Applying deeper meaning to our beautiful life together and taking away the power that stress has  Finding magic in connection and conversation when business isn’t the main topic  The benefits of getting out of your environment and day-to-day comfort zone    RESOURCES Blue Mind by Wallace J.

Lauren and I are talking about times in our lives when we were really manifesting something and it didn’t turn out the way we imagined it, but we’re so glad it happened that way because there was something even better on the other side. Lauren tells the story of how she landed at Lite Pink and realized that her entrepreneurial dream can happen inside someone else’s (aka mine!). We talk about the importance of creating a safe space for your employees to explore their passions and be honest about their career goals, which is something I learned the hard way. I share more about my journey to getting on fitness magazine covers and the breakthrough that I made about why I wasn’t being chosen by editors.

Our recent trip to Italy is the perfect metaphor for wanting something versus deciding to do something. Chris and I break down the layers of decision that it took for us to actually follow through and take this vacation, plus something really valuable that we learned from our friends about deciding to have a good life. We think it's important to put markers in your year and create memorable experiences for yourself, even if it’s something local.

I wanted to have a conversation with Chris about what’s really going on in this uncertain economy, what he thinks is coming in the future, and how we can prepare ourselves so that we don’t experience a repeat of 2008/2009 when we had to start over from scratch. So many of us are scarred from The Great Recession, but the reality is that the majority of news outlets rely on fear mongering techniques, which just make people freeze in fear. In today's episode, Chris explains how we’ve ended up in this rapid inflation situation, why a recession is usually a self-fulfilling prophecy, and three ways that you can bulletproof yourself for whatever’s coming down the pipeline.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Navigating negative propaganda about the economy  Debunking myths about economic recessions  Taking a critical look at your monthly spending habits  Ideas for how to create a new income stream Why we always suggest having a 12 month reserve in your savings account  The single thing that will set us apart from having another ‘08/’09 situation    RESOURCES Text BULLETPROOF to 310-421-0416 to get VIP early access to Chris’s new course.  Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

My friend and incredible entrepreneur Kim Perell coined the term ‘the execution factor' and it’s a concept that I’ve been coming back to a lot lately. I’ve realized that the reason why so many of us don’t execute on our desires and purpose is because we're not clear on what we actually want. We have too many things on our plate and we haven't learned how to set up our schedule  and make time for the actions that actually move the needle. When I’m feeling stuck, I ask myself what is one thing I could do right now that would start to give me a sense of purpose and make me feel like I’m moving forward? In today’s episode, I share my accountability game plan and how I tune back into my goals when I’m feeling out of alignment.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How I feel when I’m not making progress on my goals  My plan to make sure that I hit all my writing deadlines for my upcoming book  Discovering different areas of your life where you might need to make a small adjustment so that you stay on track  Staying focused when your to-do list feels overwhelming    RESOURCES Big shout out to Avast for supporting Earn Your Happy.

One of the biggest questions that I get asked is why we chose the direct-to-consumer (DTC) route instead of getting on the shelves of major retailers. In today’s episode, Lauren and I talk about the benefits of being DTC, how we collect data and insights about our customer base, and how we’ve harnessed the power of social media to build the Lite Pink brand before we even launch. Being able to connect to our followers and build relationships in the DMs has been an invaluable tool, especially with all the delays we’re facing.

Yeng was one to watch as she took her husband’s wacky idea of combining peanut butter and whiskey and turned it into a shelf-stable product and Hollywood favorite that reached national distribution in just one short year. An industry disruptor and a woman making waves in a male dominated industry, she is a highly educated woman juggling parenting while running a leading spirits company, creating a brand that goes beyond just whiskey. Skrewball is a lifestyle that is welcoming to all manner of weirdo, maverick and misfit that brings people together in a world of uncertainty. When Yeng isn’t taking over the spirits industry one bottle at a time, she enjoys spending time with her daughters and getting off the grid while traveling to far remote places with her family.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to The Big Leap audiobook, but something new really sticks out to me each time I go back to it. I’ve been thinking a lot about Gay Hendricks’ concept of ‘Upper Limiting’ when you are about to step a giant step into something bigger. That’s when all of the inner saboteurs, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs come back in. I’ve realized that in order to quiet those voices, I need to fully immerse myself in my goal. I share how this idea has shown up in my religious childhood, my fitness competition years, my time in network marketing, and now as I’m getting ready to launch Lite Pink. I talk about ways that I’ve safe-guarded myself to stay on track and build the mental strength that it takes to make those quantum leaps to my dreams.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How to make sure that we’re always walking on the path of purpose  What it looks like to be fully immersed in things that light you up Creating an environment that supports your growth  Confronting the areas of your where you’re self-sabotaging    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

One of the consistent themes that I notice with the amazing entrepreneurs that I have on this show is their ability to confront their fears and believe that they’re truly meant for more than the status quo. Lauren and I are reflecting on that, plus talking about how we’ve learned to empower each other and play bigger with Lite Pink. We discuss learning how to fail forward, what it takes to expand your network, and how to create a work environment where employees feel supported to take risks. I share how I’ve helped Lauren build up her confidence and grow from an assistant to an A Player. We also touch on the role that mortality plays in our drive to create this legacy-building company.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What has helped me step up to the challenges of launching Lite Pink  Detaching from feelings of self-doubt and unworthiness  Connecting with people who are going to support you in upleveling  Qualities that separate an A Player from a B or C Player  Why leading from fear isn’t an effective and sustainable way to run a business    RESOURCES The 5 Second Rule: Transform your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage by Mel Robbins  Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

We’re joined by our good friend Lindsey Schwartz of Powerhouse Women for today’s He Said, She Said! We each share one moment or event of expansiveness when we did something that felt either scary or irresponsible or unreasonable, but it became this moment that radically upleveled us. I talk about how back in 2009 when we were starting over again from scratch, Chris and I rented an apartment in a ritzy building in Minneapolis, even though it was tiny and out of our comfortable budget range. We wanted to be around people who were at the level we wanted to be at, and over our 18 months of living there, we made it happen. Lindsey talks about her decision to attend her first mastermind event and how she learned to make decisions based on what her future self would do. Plus, Chris touches on his decision to go all-in on his FinTech company and partner with someone who can help him get to his $100 million goal.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Getting yourself into the environments where people are at the level you want to be at  Evaluating who you’re sharing your ideas with  How to make the most out of networking events  Asking bold questions and being transparent about numbers  How to know when you’re dreaming big enough  Why it’s good to sometimes feel like the least experienced person in the room    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

Fiercely committed to supporting other women, Lindsey invests her time in mentoring women and girls of all ages—from high achieving entrepreneurs to high school students. She’s also an investor in female-founded companies including beverage brand Lite Pink.   After seeing numerous women in her life stop short of pursuing their own entrepreneurial dreams because of fear and self-doubt, she saw the need for more honest conversations about the ups & downs of entrepreneurship in order to show women that they don’t have to have it all together to get started. From there, the Powerhouse Women community, annual event, and podcast were born, with the motto that we're not meant to do business (or life) alone!

Born and raised in CT on a small family farm, it was there where she first learned about entrepreneurship and the value of hard work. After working for edtech startups early on in her career, Lisa left the Silicon Valley scene to pursue her passion to help elevate young women through mentorship and social entrepreneurship. In 2012, with this vision she created My Social Canvas. Lisa’s mission to equip young women with mentorship programs has impacted thousands of high school and college-aged girls all over the world spanning across 15 countries and over 400 educational institutions. Her work has been featured in Forbes, ELLE, on Bloomberg Live, and through Women@Apple a division of Apple’s Diversity Network Association. In 2021, after spending 10 years helping to educate the next-gen of women and girls, Lisa launched Boss Beauties. The company is an extension of the same passion and goals she has championed for over a decade.  The company’s first initiative tackled the male dominated NFT space and is one of the few female led NFT projects to date.  Boss Beauties’ first NFT collection of 10,000 unique digital portraits capturing independent and diverse women sold out in its first hour becoming the first ever NFT collection to be displayed at the New York Stock Exchange. Reese Witherspoon, Eva Longoria, and Olympian Allyson Felix are among some of the celebrities who own pieces. In addition, Boss Beauties was also featured on the Nasdaq Tower for International Day of the Girl.  A portion of proceeds from NFT sales go back to supporting their work mentoring young women worldwide.  Lisa continues to fight to improve the lives of future generations of women through mentorship activations and collaborations such as Rolling Stone, Neiman Marcus, Hugo Boss, Mattel and more to be announced in 2022.  Lisa currently resides in NYC with her husband and Boss Beauties Co-Founder Anthony and their son Hudson.

We’re answering listener questions today about how to prepare for the unknown, what it’s like to go from concept to launch, and simple ways to get noticed by the people that inspire you. I explain how I do my ‘if this, then that’ exercise to be more solution-oriented and take action instead of sitting in the surprise. Lauren and I discuss what goes into a pitch deck, when we think it’s better to bootstrap vs. raise startup money, and how to make strategic hires that can help bring your vision to life and protect your energy.

When you’re at an event and you notice that someone is clearly not having a good time, what’s your reaction? If you’re anything like I used to be, you would take yourself out of the fun and try and shift that person’s energy, solve their problems, and ultimately, bring your own mood down. This might be a major wakeup call for some of you who don’t even realize that you’re doing this and fall into patterns of feeling responsible for other people’s emotions. When you start to take full ownership over your own feelings and reactions, that is one of the most powerful places that you can be in. This is a lifetime practice, but I’m sharing some tips on how I’ve been able to implement this in my life and the major changes that I’ve seen as a result of shifting out of my people-pleasing tendencies.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why you can only be responsible for your own emotions and reactions  What tends to happen when you try to control the energy in a room How to be friendly while also maintaining your boundaries  Reflecting on why you might fall into these patterns  Overcoming the potential discomfort that can come with this practice    RESOURCES Thanks to Storyworth for supporting Earn Your Happy.

Chris and I had this moment on our walk through our new neighborhood in Newport where we realized that we’re building the life that we always dreamed of. We want to share the formula that we’ve used to get here, and even though it’ll look different for everyone, these tips can help you get to where you want to be no matter where that is. Not only do you have to have outlandish and legacy-building dreams, but you have to surround yourself with people who have the same mindset. You’re going to bump up against family and friends who think that you’re going against their lifestyle, but it’s important to remind yourself that you’re becoming the best version of yourself. You also have to be willing to make investments that stretch you, whether it’s in yourself through programs and mentors, or your finances through stocks and assets.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What we do to keep our dreams alive everyday  The struggles of going against family patterns Addressing people who told us we were getting caught up in the ‘California lifestyle’  Choosing to hold yourself to higher standards and bigger dreams  Why you can’t reach your goals by playing it safe    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

There’s one thing that I’ve been able to pinpoint as a thread throughout all my success and any of the larger amounts of money that I've been able to make: I put myself into the rooms where the conversation was happening, where the bigger money was being made, and where the other people were winning. Whether it was fitness competitions, network marketing, selling personal development courses, and now launching Lite Pink, it’s all because I surrounded myself with people who would push me to pursue my big dreams.

Chris and I were reflecting on how we keep investing in these amazing opportunities, and we realized that there are three key things that are helping us make that happen. We’re at a place now where we can recognize a money-making opportunity when we see it, we both have something strategic to offer, and we’re planting seeds to get connected with businesses that are within our zone of genius.

Lauren and I share ten creative ways that we’re using to get people talking about Lite Pink. We discuss why we love text lists, creating opt-ins for Earn Your Happy listeners, and why I decided to write a book while simultaneously launching Lite Pink.

Chris and I have noticed this big cultural shift from the hustle and grind mindset to letting things flow and take their natural course. Which one is better? Like most things, I think it’s best to exist somewhere in the middle of the two extremes. We talk about learning how to hustle with boundaries, giving yourself at least one day a week to be present, and practicing intentional planning. There are moments and seasons when you’re going to have to give it your all, but recognize that you and your team need time to recharge afterwards. Chris and I share how we’ve found the balance of hustle and flow and our advice for avoiding burnout as an entrepreneur.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Figuring out what moves the needle and what’s not worth your energy  Maintaining your morning routine during a busy season  The massive, exhausting hustle that’s behind every accomplishment  Why you need to make your decision and then release it  What we do to rest and recover after a launch    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

I’ve definitely been guilty of deciding on something and then not fully committing to it, and let me tell you, it’s not a good feeling. Now, once I decide on something, I attach someone and something to it. I have an accountability partner and put my money where my mouth is, literally and figuratively. I’m sharing why making true commitments are so important and a few tools that I rely on when life comes at me and I’m really tempted to sell out my dream.

Chris just hosted one of his weekend Elite Mastermind group sessions and we both feel so recharged from the amazing guest speakers and talented people who were in that room. I share something that executive life coach Adrian Koehler said, which is, “What do you know for sure that you spend way too much time trying to prove is false?” It made me think about where my decision making is coming from and how to lead from a place of trust.    Chris was really impacted by what Dan Fleischman, a genius marketer, had to say about people waiting for this ‘bubble’ to pop. With all of the resources and advances in technology that we’ve seen since 2010, there’s no way we’re going to have a repeat of the mid-2000s recession.

We discuss how to chase your desires and be the best version of yourself in your marriage. Laura also shares communication tools and phrases that can help get you back on track, plus the science behind why they work.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The backstory on her book, The Empowered Wife: Six Surprising Secrets for Attracting Your Husband's Time, Attention, and Affection How control effects intimacy  Expressing your desires in a way that inspires your partner  Key phrases to shift your communication patterns  Manifesting your dream marriage  The first step to creating a lasting marriage   RESOURCES Download Laura’s FREE Adored Wife Roadmap at lauradoyle.org.   ENTER TO WIN OUR $2,800 HOLIDAY SWEEPSTAKES!

When she told her husband how to be tidier, more romantic, and more ambitious, he avoided her. So she dragged him to marriage counseling and nearly divorced him. In desperation, she asked happily married women for their secrets, and that’s when she got her miracle: the man who had wooed her returned.   Laura’s books have been translated into 19 languages in 30 countries and accidentally started a worldwide movement. Laura’s mission is to end world divorce. She is the founder of the international relationship coach training school Laura Doyle Connect, the star of Empowered Wives on Amazon Prime, the Creator of The Ridiculously Happy Wife program, the host of The Empowered Wife Podcast and she has appeared on The Today Show, Good Morning America and The View. She has helped over 15,000 women fix their relationships--even the hopeless ones--without their husband’s effort.    But the thing that Laura is most proud of is her gratifying 31-year marriage with her hilarious husband John, who has been dressing himself since before she was born.

What are the clues that you are in desperate need of some boundaries? What are the main fears people face when it comes to setting boundaries and how do we get around them?

An ask that you were sure was going to get rejected the moment you put it out there? Sure you have, but there’s a limit to how many times we’re comfortable getting burned. After a while, most of us stop ourselves before the words reach our lips. We think we’ll get ridiculed, shut down, ignored. As a result, opportunities and ideas fall by the wayside. As you’ll learn in this episode, you can get away with more than you ever thought was possible by being bold and going for the ask, regardless of expectation. Stephanie Burns built her business on what she calls bootscrapping – getting scrappy while bootstrapping, a term and technique that came as a result of making bold unreasonable requests. She teaches us to take that leap. You might be surprised at what can happen.   Question Highlights: How did you get started with making unreasonable requests? How do you cope with what comes up when you go to make those requests? How do you learn how to bring value to people? What are some of the obstacles that come up around making big asks? How do you do your research in order to craft your message? How do you craft a powerful ask but also let people off the hook?   Guest Bio: Stephanie Burns is the founder of The Wyld Agency, an amplification and visibility agency focused on building the legacy and personal brands of company founders. With a background in brand building, media buying, strategy, and entrepreneurship, Stephanie has wide experience with an eclectic portfolio of industries.

We may end up filling that space with despair, but if you can stick with your dreams, your goals, and your hopes, they will thrive. It’s in the moments where things are hardest and you feel like throwing in the towel that you will gain the clarity you need to move forward. That gap – that space between who you are and who you are meant to be – needs to be filled with faith.

Do you consider yourself a creator or an integrator? How did you create a business plan and launch your brand? How do you bring miracles into your life?   Guest Bio: “Never leave the house without wearing your sparkling earrings – they will serve as reminders of the light within.” Those are words Lia Valencia Key’s mother would always say to her. Lia lost her mother at an early age but those beautiful words never left Lia’s heart. Raised in very humble beginnings in a super-impoverished neighborhood of Philadelphia, Lia Valencia Key lived in a homeless shelter with her mother, sister, and brother. Even in such dark times her mom told her, "Your predicament does not determine your destiny." She encouraged Lia to never leave the house without wearing her sparkling earrings because they would serve as reminders of the light within. Lia went on to rise above her challenges by radiating light, obtaining a bachelor's degree in Business, master's degree in Education, a cosmetology instructor's license, becoming a global hair & makeup artist, receiving a United States patent, and then moving onward to create Valencia Key Jewelry: wearable joy that symbolizes that all things are possible. If you can believe it, you can achieve it! Each piece was created to inspire and unlock the bravery and light within.  Lia's Valencia Key Jewelry launched on QVC, one of the largest television shopping networks in the world. With the power of believing, Lia went from homelessness to inspiring through jewelry in over 100 million homes. And big dreams continue to come true. Valencia Key Jewelry was recently featured in Oprah Magazine’s 2020 Favorite Things issue, Jamie Kern Lima (founder of IT Cosmetics) brought Lia to appear on The Mel Robbins Show and speak on the stage with Brendon Burchard, Ed Mylett, Dean Graziosi, Tony Robbins, and Lia spoke to over 216k attendees at Jamie Kern Lima’s Becoming Unstoppable Believe It book launch. Lia reaches back to where she comes from, donating and educating women in homeless shelters about the Keys to Light, and how to rise up out of rough environments. Lia is a living example that all things are possible by rooting yourself in the power of choosing joy and radiating light.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: The downside of being attached to permanency Asking “What’s the worst that could happen?” Changing direction when you’re going the wrong way   Resources: Visit fastfoundations.com or text “FAST” to 310-421-0416 to learn more about our mastermind program Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: One thing that’s holding you back is an attachment to permanency. Believing that you’re supposed to find a great job and stay with that company forever, or you meet a partner and stay together forever, or you plant roots and stay in the same city forever. When you’re not attached to permanency, you’re allowed to dabble, to experiment, to try new things and see if they are right for you. And it’s only through that experimentation that you find what works best. When you’re worried that you’re holding yourself back from making decisions because you feel attached to the permanency of your current situation, even if it’s making you unhappy, it’s time to start asking yourself some questions. First, “What’s the worst that could happen if I make a new decision?” Oftentimes, that worst case scenario is the exact same situation you’re in now, so don’t be afraid of making a new decision when the outcome might be the same as no decision at all – it could be so much better. Many times we’re afraid of losing the good things about where we’re at now if we make a different decision. Maybe you’re afraid of losing your friends or your favorite restaurant. But what if you got really intentional, took inventory of what you loved, and made a focused effort to do those things (or similar) in a different situation? It’s possible to preserve the good while making even more room for new greatness. So stop focusing so much on permanency. Life isn’t meant to be that way. If something isn’t serving you in the way that it could, try something new. Be intentional, focus on maintaining what you already have, and keep changing things to get even better.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Why people feel a lack of abundance Where to look when you need to feel more abundant How to shift your mindset into abundance   Resources: Visit chrisharder.me/mastermind to apply for our elite mastermind group Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: Some people hate talking about money… but they still wish they had more. Here’s a secret nobody tells you: making more money won’t actually make you feel more abundant. That feeling can exist at any financial level. It’s just a mindset. We’re going to share our top tips for crushing scarcity, and moving into abundance. Our first tip is this: stop focusing on what you don’t have and take inventory of what you do have. You have four tiers of assets, but many people only look at the first tier: cash on hand. We rely on that number to feel abundant, even though how we feel about that amount may change from day to day. Get off that roller coaster and start focusing on all four tiers: Tier 1: Cash on hand, checking, savings Tier 2: Cash investments, stocks, bonds, real estate equity Tier 3: Reserves that can be tapped into if needed (vehicles, credit, investors, collections) Tier 4: Untapped ideas and potential Abundance doesn’t come from what you have on hand, but your ability to create money out of thin air. Anytime you’re not feeling abundant, just recognize that you have those untapped talents that people would pay you for that you can turn into real money whenever you need. Our second tip is to hang out with rich people. You want to be in the room with people who are doing the things that you want. This can mean getting creative – for instance, the Nordstrom worker who’s networking with everyone he helps put himself in the position to be surrounded by people doing the things he wants to be doing. This can also mean springing for something premium outside of your comfort zone that’s going to put you around those people – premium memberships, hair salons, hotels, and more. These are the rooms where the opportunities and ideas are. These are the best ways to create more abundance in your life. You have to stretch your thinking beyond where you already are and look for the limitless possibilities out there.

We’ve been making some massively big decisions in our life over the past few years, and we’ve developed a rhythm to making them and vetting whether they feel right. Whether it’s a decision to move, start a business, sell a home, or any other big life decision, we run them through a three-step process to make sure it’s the right move for us. The first question we ask ourselves before making a decision is this: will this decision give me extreme energy? Is it so aligned with your goals that, even when things get messy, it is still going to provide you with energy? When you’re making a decision, you tend to focus on the energy you’re feeling in the moment, not the long term energy that’s going to come – or leave – based on that decision. The second question to ask yourself is: are you OK with the worst possible outcome of that decision? You don’t have to feel good about that happening. You surely don’t want it to happen. But would you be OK if it happened? It’s a hard question to answer, but it is crucial if you want to move forward without regret. And third: do you have a support system to help you through the decision? This doesn’t mean you have to know the exact people that are going to be there for you, but you have to know that they are out there and that you can find them. If you know that you have the support system in place for this decision, you need to move forward, knowing you can tap into it. Imagine how that decision would play out, all the way to the end. If you are happy with the outcome then move forward. If you’ve answered these three questions, then there’s nothing stopping you from changing directions if things don’t end up the way you expected, but at least you won’t be paralyzed by the fear of deciding in the first place.

Again and again, we are having these reminders of lessons that are imperative to our success. One of the first reminders we had was from a podcast with Lewis Howes and Rob Dyrdek. Rob does a great job of living his life to the fullest while also achieving incredible things and reaching massive success. He talked about living a life without compromise and following where your energy leads you. Another lesson is the power of manifestation – but not in the way you might expect. Truly taking the time to embody and visualize the feeling of what you want. Whether you’re inclined to more logical or mystical thinking, this still works. Logically, picturing and feeling what you want is going to wire your brain to take conscious and subconscious actions that bring you the results. Or you may believe that the power of asking the universe is actually bringing you closer to your goals. Either way, this is a powerful tool. And lastly, we were reminded of the power of rituals and boundaries. Setting clear boundaries and expectations of how long you are going to work, how long you’re going to spend with your family, who you’re going to spend time with, what you’re going to track, and more. You need to exercise your boundaries in order to live a life within the container you want. There are so many things you can learn from plugging in and listening to things that inspire and motivate you. You are more powerful than you realize, it just takes finding something to spark that memory and then taking the action to prove it.

Anthony Trucks is going to help you learn how to shift your mindset permanently. He has the power to make shift happen. Through the many traumatic events he’s had to overcome in his life, he’s mastered the art of making internal shifts to change his external circumstances. He’s going to share the tools you can use to make lasting change possible in your life.   Question Highlights: How did your time in foster care shape your identity? How did you start switching your story? What did you do while you were building up proof? What do you beat yourself up over and how do you get over it? How do you incorporate your family into your life goals? What can people do to start noticing shifts in their lives?   Guest Bio: Anthony Trucks is a foster kid turned NFL athlete and serial entrepreneur with one serious super power: making shift happen, no matter what, by accessing the power of identity. After overcoming over 30 traumatic life events, and navigating the identity shifts that followed, Anthony has come to be known as the leading expert in “shifting” – which is making a shift internally to elevate how you operate externally. Doing so changes your life. With his unique system, “The Shift Method,” Anthony weaves together neuroscience, psychology, technology, and hard-fought life lessons to help anyone with a desire for more in life achieve any goal they want (or have ever wanted). Buckle up because it’s time to make shift happen.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Taking an active role in your life Getting clear on what you want Shifting things in your favor Choosing how you want to feel   Resources: Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: Your life is meant to be enjoyed. That may seem controversial  isn’t life all about the hustle and the grind? You know I’m no stranger to hard work, but it has to be hard work for something. That means if you’re not happy with your life, you have to take an active part in changing it. That also means getting real clear on what you want and going for it.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Setting up 2022 for success Prioritizing the little things Find your core values and work backwards Finding the financial sweet spot Getting eyes on your business   Resources: litepink.com/drink Text “FAST” to 310-421-0416 to get access to our early access VIP list for our Fast Foundations mastermind Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: 2022 seems like it’s just around the corner. You’ve still got some time to prepare, but if you’re not thinking about it, it’ll be here before you know it. This is the sweet spot where you can make sure that you have everything lined up to make 2022 the best year of your life. We always take the time to plot out where we want to go next year so that we can hit the ground running instead of playing catch up, and we’re sharing the strategies we’re using for ourselves and our businesses so you can set your 2022 up for success. One thing we always focus on is our physical and mental health. Not only is this important personally, but the better you feel in these areas, the better your business will perform. Identify what practices you need to prioritize, what you need to add, and what you need to remove, and be relentless about sticking to them. The little things add up, so instead of focusing on massive shifts, look at the little pivots you can make that are going to add up to huge results. The next thing we focus on is what’s most important to us in the next 18 months to make it feel like we are winning. When you identify your core values, you’re able to build your business, personal, and financial goals around those. Find out how much money you need to live your “dream life,” and don’t add anything to your plate that is going to make you money beyond that while also impacting your quality of life negatively. And last, audience acquisition. There’s nothing that a large, engaged audience can’t solve in your business – and therefore in your life. Focusing on the ways you can get eyes on your product and your business is going to be essential for setting you up for success in 2022. It’s not too early – or too late – to start planning out your business and personal moves for next year. In fact, this is the perfect time to make the plan for next year that will help you achieve everything you want and more.

I’m going to talk about all of the triggers that come up in life, how we react to them, and how we can break free from those self-sabotaging feedback loops.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Why flexibility matters Where flexibility helped us Where being rigid hurt us How to be more flexible in life   Resources: Visit chrisharder.me/mastermind to apply for our elite mastermind group Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: Flexibility creates opportunity. When good things pop up in life, you will only be able to say “yes” if you’ve been intentional about building flexibility into your life. And a lack of flexibility is only going to cost you opportunities. We’re going to show some examples of both in our life – as well as how you can build more flexibility into your own. A few months ago, someone made an offer on our Scottsdale, Arizona home that was way higher than we thought it was worth – much more than we paid for it. And even though we had only been there a few months, we saw that it was a major opportunity to make a lot of money fast. That offer ultimately fell through, but it led to us putting our home on the market to see what happened. The flexibility to be OK with either outcome gave us an incredible opportunity. On the other hand, an example of when a lack of flexibility robbed us of opportunity is when our friend Jim Kwik wanted to use my recording studio to record an interview with Tom, the founder of MySpace. But the studio was completely booked for the day and Jim said he was hoping to get Tom to do an interview on our show after his interview. He told us to “Start making room for the miracles.” It’s important that you leave space in your calendar for things to show up, but this doesn’t mean to do nothing. You have to go out into the world to allow miracles to show up. Just don’t be so rigid that you aren’t willing to see those miracles for the opportunities that they are.

Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: The past few weeks have taught me so much about working through imperfection. When you’re trying to balance travel and work, you have to abandon all thought of the perfect time or the perfect setting for what you want to do.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: The importance of being present Choosing to focus on the positive Recognizing silver linings   Resources: Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: Sometimes you have days that – from the outside in – seem terrible, but internally, we have the power to turn those days around. Our brains are wired to focus on the negative, but we can put our lives into perspective with one simple trick: acknowledge that this is life, and this may be as good as it gets. So buckle up and enjoy the moment. Even on days that suck, you’d be surprised by the joy that can come from just being present in the moment. You don’t have to override sad or painful feelings, but if you acknowledge and accept them, and recognize what each moment has to offer, you can find the good in any situation. Tell yourself that today may be as good as it gets. Stop comparing where you are against a future where things might get better or a past that you can’t reclaim. Today is all you have, and it may never get better, so focus on the silver lining because, as long as you’re alive, there’ll be one to be found. If you try that phrase on for size, it will reframe everything for you, and you will find more joy every day.

You cannot miss Cindy. Everything she touches turns to PINK! Over a distinguished 25-year career in healthcare, in only the last ten years, she has built and sold two businesses for more than $1.5B. First Slate Pharmaceuticals (which redefined long acting testosterone treatment for men), then Sprout Pharmaceuticals (which broke through with the first ever FDA-approved drug for low sexual desire in women – dubbed “female Viagra” by the media). After selling the company for $1 billion in 2015, she successfully fought to get the drug back and launch it on her own terms. Cindy has made waves and her own success, creating mission driven companies that deliver big. Her results have become widely covered business success stories featured in major media outlets. She is most proud of helping others take command of their lives. The profoundly positive impact those companies have made for people is what keeps her coming back for more.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Why being nimble is a superpower How being nimble reduces risk Having conversations with your partner   Resources: Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: One superpower that has always served us well over our lifetimes is being nimble. It’s led to windfalls, business success, healthy relationships, and more. When you see someone who, from the outside, appears to always be winning, what you’re really seeing is someone who’s not afraid to adapt when their idea is failing. So why is being nimble so hard for people? Because it’s not comfortable. You have to take a lot of risks and make a lot of gambles in order to stay nimble. When you truly embrace being nimble, it actually takes the risk out of those gambles. When your gamble falls through, if you just stay nimble, you’ll move on to the next move quickly. Being nimble allows you to seize opportunities. If you’re stuck on one way of being for too long, who knows what you could be missing out on? You have to be clear on your long-term vision, make sure everyone affected is on the same page as you, and then take aggressive action to secure the future you want. I promise you, this superpower can make amazing things happen.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Looking forward to the future Reframe your mindset around what you’re doing to create joy Planning out your joy Spreading your pleasure out   Resources: Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: You don’t deserve to deny yourself pleasure and desire in your life. It’s so important to build our lives in a way that constantly gives us joy and pleasure. When you aren’t feeling pleasure in your day to day life, you risk numbing out on short-term dopamine hits that don’t bring us any long-term satisfaction, or you put all of your hopes for pleasure into one thing and just run it into the ground. Spread your pleasure out throughout your life. Stop delaying pleasure for the future and find joy in the moment, whatever you’re doing.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Getting comfortable asking for help When some asks require following up Developing your asking muscle Getting your elevator pitch down Asking for connections Building a network   Resources: Apply for 1-on-1 coaching at chrisharder.me/coaching. Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: Why is it so hard to ask for help? This is a weakness for many people – and there’s so many reasons why that may be. A major part is the fear of bugging people. There’s a difference between knowing how to ask for help and making it feel burdensome. It requires approaching that ask with a certain energy. We’re going to look at how you can go in for that ask without putting the pressure on. There are two main factors that contribute to getting better at asking: Do you have your asking muscles developed? Do you have people to ask? When you’re going in for an ask, you have to make sure you know what you’re asking. Ask it in a way that doesn’t require follow-up questions. Be clear and concise and don’t waste the person’s time. You only get one shot at this so take your time making sure the question is just right. Whatever you do, don’t be an “askhole.” That’s someone who asks for advice but doesn’t take any action. If you’re going to ask for help, make sure you are actioning it immediately. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but when people see that you’re the kind of person who puts advice into practice, they’ll be happy to give you more of it. The second part of this is who you ask. A lot of people are shooting for the stars and asking the biggest names they can think of without having the ability to offer them anything in return. Instead, start with the people within your own network. If you don’t have a network, it’s your job to seek out people online and find them. People with similar goals, interests, or wants as you. Knowing how to ask and how to build a circle of influence to ask within is going to make your journey as an entrepreneur go so much smoother. Collaboration is the shortcut to success. It is a skill, but it is one worth building.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Why speeding up the sales process won’t work Building a nurturing sequence Creating a manual exchange   Resources: Join our Fastermind by texting the word “FASTER” to 310-421-0416 Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: Let’s talk about something that’s going to help you make more sales. If you own (or aspire to own) a business, if you want to make more money, if you sell anything (and even if you have a job), this advice is for you. The number one problem we’re seeing people run into in their business is missed launch goals, missed sales goals, or just a complete lack of sales. When we dissect each of these scenarios with our coaching clients, what we’re seeing is this: people are rushing the process. They don’t spend time developing relationships with their audience. There are two ways you can nurture your audience and slow down your process to turn each “no” into a “yes”. Build a nurturing sequence. Start with “nice to meet you” and lead people into a list that you own – typically an email or text list. Doing that requires them to agree to open up a relationship with you, but that’s just where the work begins. Now you have to earn their trust and develop the relationship. Give them so much value that eventually they’ll realize if this is what you’re giving away for free, what you have behind the paywall must definitely be worth it. Or you could create a manual exchange. Make sure you show up consistently enough, with enough value in between “nice to meet you” and “would you buy my product?” by creating a private group. You can do this through Clubhouse, by hosting a weekly Zoom call, or Instagram and Facebook Live. When you nurture your audience regularly and recognize them, they will go along with whatever you do. You may say, “I’m already doing all of this!” and that may be true, but if you aren’t seeing the results you want yet, you’re probably still going too fast. Remain patient and recognize that the marketing game is going to require more from you every day. Give people what they want and need and they will come to trust you. And when they do, that’s when you’ll get the “yes” you’re looking for.

Jodi Katzin asks: “I have worked with a few business coaches and still am having trouble getting that first client! I work so hard on my posts but, with a small following and the algorithm, I don't know how many eyes are actually landing on them, so I get discouraged easily. I guess my question would be if there are ways outside of social media to get things off the ground.” Bailey Barcellos asks: “How do you balance the masculine ‘get it done’ energy with feminine energy when running a successful business!?”   Review: Fido Fizzy I love how Lori truly wants to help and serve her listeners. The variety of content she produces is amazing and I love how vulnerable and real she is. It’s inspirational to see her and Chris showing #relationshipgoals in their episodes. Thanks for serving!

In This Episode You Will Learn About: What fear of success looks like Losing friends due to success What holds us back from success Modeling success for others   Resources: Visit squeezemassage.com/earn to learn about Squeeze’s franchise opportunities Text “DAILY” to 310-421-0416 to receive a daily money mantra for free Text PODCAST to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: Some of you might have something holding you back that you don’t even know about. It’s deeply rooted in your subconscious and it’s stopping you from achieving what you want in life. That thing is a hidden fear of success. It might sound funny at first, but it’s a very real fear that many people experience. But, how do you squash that fear when you might not even be aware it exists? The first step to getting over a fear of success is understanding what it is. Deep down, the fear of success is usually just the sum of many micro-fears of change. How will your life change if you succeed? How will it be better — and how will it be worse? The truth is that you will lose some things when you reach your goals, even before, on your journey toward them. Friends may be jealous. Family may question your skill set. You have to weigh these against everything else you stand to gain and have gained already. There are a few things holding you back: We think that we have unspoken agreements with people that we will always stay the same. But no one stays the same. Even more, you’re not supposed to. Good is the enemy of great. What often holds you back from greatness is the fear of letting go of a life that’s “good enough.” Fear of more work as you become more successful. It’s possible to work around all of these. More than fear of change, we should be afraid of staying the same. In hindsight, it will be impossible to imagine ever staying in your life the way it was. We should always be growing and adapting.

Kelley Tyan asks: “I'm in the network marketing space as a health coach. I'm looking to build my team with strong business-minded people. How do I market this on my social? I've been coaching women in the health and fitness space for 15 years and I think people are intimidated to think they have to have my experience, but I know that's not true. How can I draw more people to my team?” Bethany Kochan asks: “Finding my passion. That's what has me stuck and often feeling unmotivated or undisciplined.

Whenever I’ve had a rough day, I open this podcast and the show speaks directly to me and my specific challenges! It’s like Lori has been chilling in my brain all day, sipping on a Lite Pink, listening to my issues, and then records EXACTLY what I need to hear. It’s insane.

Thank you for showing up every day. You’re doing so much good and pushing me through mental roadblock after mental roadblock. Keep it up and thank you!

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Using your network as a shortcut Tapping into your network Auditing your network The truths about your network   Resources: Text “DAILY” to 310-421-0416 to receive a daily money mantra for free Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: All of the answers you are seeking in your business are likely already present in your network. Your network is one of the simplest and most powerful things you can tap into – and you’re not getting enough out of it. When you run into a problem that you don’t have the answer to on your own, start asking yourself: “Who do I know that might know about this?” If no one comes to mind immediately, dig a little deeper: “Who do I know who I don’t know what they do?” Of all the people in your network, you probably don’t know exactly what skills most of them have. If you want to truly tap into the power of your network, try this exercise: grab a pen and a sheet of paper, and pull out your phone. Go through your social media friends and ask yourself: “Who is in my network that can help me reach my goals?” Go name by name, down the list, and write down every person who may be a valuable resource for where you want to go. This will instantly make you realize how powerful your network is – as well as give you a list of people to reach out to in order to speed up your journey. You’re closer to your dreams than you think, but in order to get there you have to become an unapologetic asker.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Interrupting our fear programming Helping people write their story Acknowledging what you want How to move from “can’t” to “can” Being kind to yourself   Resources: MiriamLaundry.com JackCanfield.com Instagram: @miriamlaundrypublishing Instagram: @jackcanfield_official Find the blueprint to writing a children’s book in one day at MiriamLaundry.com/bookblueprint Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: Self-esteem is a major factor in a person’s success. That doesn’t mean you have to feel good about everything that you do. You just need to have the confidence to try. So much of our self-esteem is shaped in childhood, which makes it especially important to instill that confidence in kids early on. Jack Canfield and Miriam Laundry are both experts on enhancing self-esteem in children (as well as adults). Together, they co-authored the book “I Can Believe in Myself,” which helps children turn the words “I can’t” into “I can!” Whether you have kids and want them to be confident, you struggle with confidence yourself, or you’re interested in writing and publishing a children’s book of your own, these two have a wealth of knowledge that you’re sure to find value in.   Question Highlights: Where did the inspiration for this book come from? Can you tell me about your course, helping people write books? What fears do you normally see from people? What was your experience after attending Jack’s event? What do you experience in your life and career right now? What feels important right now? If you could only write one more book, what would it be about?   Guest Bio: Jack Canfield is the co-creator of the #1 New York Times bestselling “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series, including “Chicken Soup for the Kid’s Soul” and “Chicken Soup for the Preteen Soul.” He started his career as a teacher in Chicago Public Schools and later went on to become an expert in the area of educating teachers and parents about how to build and maintain high self-esteem in children of all ages. He is also the co-writer of “100 Ways to Enhance Self-Concept in the Classroom” and “Self-Esteem in the Classroom: A Curriculum Guide.” He also recently published “The Big, Bad Bully,” which he co-authored with Miriam Laundry. Jack is the founder and chairman of The Canfield Training Group in Santa Barbara, California, which conducts workshops and training on how to achieve greater success in every area of your life.

When COVID struck, she had to pivot fast and recenter herself, which led to her opening a new brand in her company: the Amplify Her Collective. In this coaching call, we explore the importance of finding mentors, how to build teams that invest in your vision, and extending your reach without sacrificing your core values.   Question for Lori: You have had so many accomplishments, from The Bliss Project to your latest endeavor of Lite Pink, which is such an inspiration from the community building aspect and how you have built it from the ground up as a female-funded business. How important was it for you to tap into your network as well as find mentors at each new level to support you, push you, and guide you? What advice can you give on how to step into the CEO leadership role and build a team that is as invested in your vision and mission as you are? I have defined my big ‘why,’ my mission, my core values, and have a proven process. How do I create growth, impact, and reach as many women as possible while maintaining authenticity, integrity, and personal touch as every woman’s success is important to me?   Guest Bio: After 11 years of teaching and coaching women on nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle inside the Cultivate by Corey brand, from in-person classes at her studio to online courses and programs, there was something else brewing for Corey. In 2020, when the world shifted in unthinkable ways, so did Corey’s business and priorities. She felt a tap on the shoulder and stepped into the online space in a new way, supporting women in building and growing their businesses. What started as impromptu calls and presentations to a group of women needing support in learning the ins and outs of online business has transformed into a larger mission to support women in creating an unwavering belief in themselves, their capacity to build financial freedom, and having a personal life of their dreams (friends, kids romance all of it).

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Making yourself a priority Planning for interruptions and making yourself show up The importance of switching up your energy Opening your eyes to a big dream   Resources: Text “DAILY” to 310-421-0416 to receive a daily money mantra for free Go to squeezemassage.com/happy to learn more about their franchise opportunities Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: This year, we built what we knew we were going to need as a couple. Both of us are diving into new businesses, and we knew that if we didn’t make ourselves a priority, we would end up on the backburner. So we set up a couples’ mastermind where we went on dream date trips and we started tracking what matters most to us. Those simple things have made such a difference in keeping our relationship on the forefront, and that most recent trip completely shifted our energy. If you need to make sure you’re setting time to do the things that are most important to you, but don’t feel urgent, you need to take these two points to heart: Even if it’s not convenient, schedule time for the interruptions you know are good for you so that you show up. You have to regularly change up your energy or you are going to burn out. As counterintuitive as it may seem, there are times when stepping away from your business or your work is the best thing you can do for your productivity and inspiration. You need to be changing up your energy to inspire you to do things at a new level. Switching things up doesn’t always feel good at first – in fact, it can feel very uncomfortable. But doing so opens up space for new opportunities. Routines are powerful, but they can also get you stuck. You have to remind yourself why you are doing what you do, what you are working towards, and what levels there are ahead.

I don’t know what I would do without her and her incredible team, and after hearing this interview, you’ll wonder how you ever survived without her too.   Question Highlights: What did you do before helping entrepreneurs and at what point did you pivot? What were the themes you saw people struggling with? How do you make sure your business isn’t dependent on your constant input? Who are the ideal people you like to work with?

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Why some people are motivated and others aren’t Understanding how to manage your discipline Using gratitude to motivate yourself Making the choice to make your day better   Resources: Text “FASTER” to 310-421-0416 to join Chris’ new “Fastermind” Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show! Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: How do you manage your motivation? Even as naturally motivated people, we still have days where we wake up feeling no motivation to build a business, work out, or do anything. Even if you’re not naturally motivated, that doesn’t mean you won’t see success, and just because you don’t wake up motivated doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to turn things around. Whoever you are, own it, and implement the tools we’re going to share with you to manufacture motivation whenever you need it. So many things can affect your willpower and motivation: your sleep, what you eat, how much you exercise, or just your levels of stress. There’s so much going on at any given time and you have to take inventory of it all. Try to mitigate the pain points where you can. The first thing to do every day is shift into gratitude. Ask yourself, “What are three things I’m grateful for and three things I’m excited for?” These can be hard to answer when you’re feeling down or unmotivated, but that’s when answering them is most important. It’s OK to feel a certain way and shaming yourself for not feeling motivated isn’t helpful. You feel the way you feel, but you can still make choices from that place. Giving up will only make you feel worse in the long term. You have control over your destiny, over your mood, and over your motivation. Starting off on the wrong track never has to determine your day. Use these tools and get yourself going again.

Bravery isn’t as simple as not being afraid; it’s about not letting fear hold you back from doing what you need – or just want – to do. When fear keeps us from living as our truest self or following our life’s desires, it can prevent us from being who we’re supposed to be. We all want to be a little braver and there’s nobody better to show us how than Sarah Pendrick.   Question Highlights: Can you tell me about your book journey?

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Asking yourself better questions Manufacturing pain points Thinking an hour ahead Becoming addicted to convenience Reframing difficult situations   Resources: Text “FASTER” to 310-421-0416 to join my new “Fastermind” Text “PODCAST” to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or even get coached on the show!   Show Notes: Questions can be a powerful tool for leveling up in every aspect of your life. As they say: “Ask better questions, get better answers.” We’re going to talk about one question we each use as a tool in order to better our lives and our businesses. For Chris, his goal is to be as fit as he can be this summer. To make sure he hits this goal, he had to develop some tools. One of those tools was asking himself this question before every decision: “How will this make me feel in one hour?” We make so many decisions hoping for instant gratification, but thinking an hour ahead is just far enough out for you to realize whether it’s something you truly want or something you’ll regret. My question that I ask myself is: “How can I look at this differently?” We experience discomfort on a daily basis, but we rarely think about why we’re feeling that way or what it might be telling us. Often when we’re feeling fear, it’s actually a sign that we’re in an area with opportunity for expansion and growth. When there’s no problems and no fear, there’s no way we’re ever going to get better. If you ask yourself these two questions purposefully and intentionally, you will make exponentially better decisions and see a wider set of opportunities. These two questions can change your life.

Sometimes you’re going to find yourself working closely with someone who’s in a different mode of life than you, so you’ve got to learn how to make the most of it. First and foremost: honor whatever season you’re in. Whether you’re in a season of resting or a season of pushing, you are only going to hurt yourself if you fight against it. Those seasons are not going to last forever, so just remember that the best thing you can do for your success is to take care of what you need in the moment. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you need. Tying back to that first point, if someone asks for something from you that would require you to dishonor your needs, you need to make that clear. In return, ask for what you need. Find some common ground, make your needs clear, and be willing to take different approaches to get where you want to go. You need to make sure that you’re communicating your long-term goals. When you see the overall vision and know that you’re both working towards it, you’ll be more forgiving of the ebb and flow it takes to get there. You also should find other people in the same season as you. It can get lonely when all of the people near you seem to be in another mode, so seek out those going through the same thing so that you can fuel each other up however you need to. When you find yourself in different seasons with friends, a romantic partner, or a business partner, it can actually lead to great things. Follow these tips and you can accelerate your season, creating a win-win situation for everyone.

Get a free $75 credit at indeed.com/happy Learn about becoming a Squeeze franchisee at squeezemassage.com/happy   Show Notes: This manifestation trick is so fast, so easy, and so effective that you won’t believe it actually works. If you’re a visual thinker, this is totally going to change the game for you — even if you’re not, there are ways you can incorporate it into your life in a positive way. Laura Day, author of “The Circle,” teaches a manifesting method similar to this — but we’ve put our own little spin on it. Here’s how it works… picture a circle in your mind with you at the center. You’re a magnet in the center of your circle. Place other things that you desire for the day in the circle. Feel them in your presence and imagine that you are attracting them to you. Just by putting them in your circle and keeping them in your mind, it will force you to take action. If you’re not a visual thinker, physically draw out a circle and hand-write what you want to attract inside of it. That’s it! When you picture what you want, you bring it to the forefront of your mind, subconsciously encouraging yourself to take action towards those goals. It’s dead simple; imagine your circle and draw in the life that you want.

She started getting extensions when she was 15 years old but she could never find a product that was all-natural, cost-effective, and non-damaging. She put together a business-plan, but put it on pause when she became pregnant with her son. While on maternity leave, she decided it was now or never and finally took the leap. Fast forward to today and she’s featured in several national retailers and still expanding! She asks how to embrace fear and discomfort, and how much she should be sharing online. We also talk about how her experience when her son contracted leukemia led to a whole new, philanthropic side of her business.   Questions Asked:   I know you’ve talked a lot about embracing fear and I completely subscribe to the notion that everything great sits on the other side of our fears. Can you share some tips on how to get through those uncomfortable moments and manage anxiety, as well as how to keep embracing and moving towards the things that scare us the most? I really struggle with how much I should share about my personal and professional life on social media. On one side, I feel like I should keep so much private - especially the really messy stuff (i.e. skirting bankruptcy more times than I’d like to admit, how hard it is to ‘balance’ growing a company, and trying to be a good mom, wife, friend, etc.). On the other hand, I feel like it’s so important to share the bumpy road that it’s been. What are your top tips for building a personal brand? How do you manage to do such an amazing job focusing on your businesses as well as your personal brand?     Guest Bio: Jennifer Parrott is a mom of two and the founder of Locks & Mane.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: How to have tough conversations with your partner What we did when we lost it all Taking ownership of your situation   Resources: ownit64.com Text PODCAST to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: It can be really hard to break tough news to your partner. When Chris lost his job in 2008, he had to come home and tell me not only that news, but that our finances weren’t in order and we were going to lose everything. It’s one of those moments that scars you — you never forget it. We’re going to relive one of the hardest moments of our lives because we think there’s value to be had in that moment. It’s less about breaking the news itself and more about assessing where you’re at and deciding what to do with the information you find. Here’s what happened next for us: Chris came home and told me that we would have to sell our brand new house, our cars, everything, and move into a small apartment. And I responded with two things. First, I said “Then that’s what we have to do.” And second, I said “This will never happen to us again.” It was then that we decided to enter the knowledge industry. I started teaching online courses with the goal of finding just one hundred women to join me monthly. When that took off, I realized the one thing all these women had in common was that they needed support, so I created The Bliss Project. That led to The Bliss Habit, a way to take that same idea to the people who couldn’t make it to the event. No matter where you are in your journey, it’s not too late to take control of your future.

It can be so easy to want something on the one hand, but be subconsciously afraid of what happens when we get it on the other. If we don’t get to the root of that disparity, we will constantly be creating and canceling out that thing that we want. Let’s talk about how you can support your dreams without letting fear get in the way.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: When to follow up on a “No” Taking the emotion out of asking Showing your worth through results   Resources: Text PODCAST to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: Welcome back to Questionably Awesome! Today, Evans and I answer your questions about following up on a “No” and negotiating your worth. Mara Casler asks: How do you approach asking for what you want, after you've been told “No”? How long do you wait to ask again? Elizabeth Johnson asks: How do I negotiate for the salary and benefits (equity in the comp!) that I want/deserve when I have only a handful of years of experience on my side? Sometimes people place a higher value on years of experience over quality of present work! (I'm measurably more valuable than some folks who've been in the biz for more time.)

In This Episode You Will Learn About: How limiting beliefs are holding you back Dealing with anxiety Falling into comparison Knowing your worth Being okay with failure Sharing your story Accepting change   Resources: ownit64.com Text PODCAST to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: Everyone has some limiting beliefs that are holding us back from getting where we want to go. Sometimes the hardest part of getting through your journey is finding a way to move past those beliefs. We are going to share three limiting beliefs each that we’ve had to go through in order to be where we are today.   Lori: Anxiety and panic attacks. Every time she would get in front of people she would feel like she couldn’t breathe, starting as far back as 7th grade. Not understanding your worth. It can feel scary to charge what you should when providing a product or service without undercutting yourself. If you’re resentful for the time you’re putting in without compensation then something is out of alignment. Fear of sharing your story. It can be hard when you’re trying to be authentic but you know that sharing details about your life are going to have an impact on other people.   Chris: Fear of comparison. When Chris was preparing to launch For the Love of Money, he kept putting it off because he couldn’t stop comparing himself to other brands that were further along. You want to surround yourself with people who motivate you, but you have to be able to step through that fear and do it anyway. Fear of failure. Chris would set big sales goals but worry about the blowback that would come if he didn’t hit them. The irony is that he’s rarely hit the sales goal he set, but that didn’t mean they weren’t successful and still worth doing. Fear of change. This comes along when you are afraid of losing the good life you have in the pursuit of a great life. Strategy is everywhere. It’s easy to find. But what’s really holding most people back is their belief in their ability to do it. So take a look at the limiting beliefs that are holding you back and tell yourself “This isn’t true.” Only then can you move forward into your highest self.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Becoming a money magnet Earned income vs. investment income Blaming, complaining, and justifying Writing new truths in your life Improving your environment Reinforcing your dreams   Resources: ownit64.com Text PODCAST to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: We were not always money magnets. In fact, both of us repelled money in different ways for much of our lives. It takes financial motivation AND education in order to both make money and hold onto it. We’re going to go over four things you can do to become a money magnet:   Clearing out the old to take your power back. When you’re blaming others, or your past, you don’t do the work to take ownership of your future. It’s your choice, alone, to clear out the old, unnecessary thoughts and beliefs holding you back. Decide to become educated and motivated. One of the best ways to do this is through reading books and listening to podcasts — take advantage of free resources. Curate and control your environment. Your environment, meaning the people, places, and propaganda you are surrounded by, have a huge impact on your mindset. The people in your life are either enforcing your dreams or unwittingly sacrificing them. Reinforce your new patterns and beliefs. You need accountability partners. You need to measure what matters. You need to journal your actions and thoughts. Visualize where you want to be.     Everybody can do these four things. There are no barriers to entry other than doing the work. Follow these to break those old financial habits and become a money magnet.

Today, Evans and I answer your questions about playing small and finding balance. Cornelia Baum asks: Tips on finding the balance (or I like to say, finding harmony) as you're 'bootstrapping.' I'm at a point in my business where the old way isn't bringing in enough cash flow... partially because of COVID and partially because of my own burnout. I'm so lit up about the direction I'm going and what I'm creating... but constantly caught up in the band aids (side jobs) I've created to pay the bills, rather than focusing on my business and this new direction. Chrissy Kunkel asks: I have been playing small in my interior design business and recently raised my rate. Where I'm struggling is with comparison. I'm seeing counterparts who have far less experience doing amazing things and really cool projects. I feel like my jobs suck in comparison, and I can't seem to break away from looking and staying in my own lane. How do you stay the course and not feel like you suck all the time? How can you channel this energy to grow instead of setting you back and making you feel inferior and loser-ish?

In This Episode You Will Learn About: The importance of building a passive side hustle The best passive side hustle choice Getting over imposter syndrome Finding free resources   Resources: ownit64.com   Show Notes: Every person needs a passive side hustle. This is not negotiable. It’s important to build something that pays you when you’re not working, instead of your income requiring a large  investment of your time on an ongoing basis. Your financial goal should always be to get to the point where, if one of your income sources disappeared tomorrow, you would not have to change your lifestyle. Most people aren’t there yet, but a passive side hustle — not a busy, time-consuming, expensive side hustle — is the way to get there. One of the greatest opportunities for creating a passive side hustle right now is course development. The way people want to learn is changing forever. They want to move straight from Point A to Point B, and that’s what courses do for them. They’re not as intensive to build as people think, and once it’s launched, it will start selling while you sleep. It’s time to take your future into your own hands. The world is too dynamic to rely on just one source of income.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Pushing your boundaries Growing your audience Competing on more than price   Resources: Text PODCAST to 310-496-8363 to get your questions answered on our Q&A segment or get coached on the show!   Show Notes: Your business might not be growing right now. That’s alright — we’ve all been there before. That’s why we are especially qualified to help you get unstuck and bring back the growth. Here are the three reasons your business stops growing, and how to avoid them: You’re not growing. If you aren’t focusing on your development as a person, you cannot expect your business to continue growing as well. You’ve stopped filling the pipeline. You cannot stop collecting new audience members. Your existing customers will continue to grow and they will move on. You need to be bringing in new customers all the time. Your pricing is a race to the bottom. This shows a lack of confidence in your pricing and your product and is not sustainable. A race to the bottom always ends up at the bottom; there’s no profit to be had there. If you can avoid these three things, you will be able to keep your business growing. If any of these sound familiar to you, it might be your key to getting unstuck.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Showing enthusiasm and passion Taking messy action Getting comfortable with asking for help Collaborating for success Showing up consistently, even when things are hard   Resources: Text FAST to 310-421-0416 to get early access to my mastermind and $500 off your enrollment   Show Notes: We’ve worked with many successful people over our careers, and many of them go on to achieve even greater success. Meanwhile, some people continue to struggle in their businesses, never quite reaching their full potential. The thing is that what people struggle with seems to be universal: We hear it all again and again. We’ve identified the common traits that set apart those who succeed from those that struggle. If you can embrace these five traits of successful entrepreneurs it can quickly shift your results for the better.   Enthusiasm and passion   Enthusiasm doesn’t mean being loud and bubbly in public — though honestly, that can help. What it means is that when you describe your product, when you do your marketing, and when you tell someone what you do, people can feel the passion in you. If it doesn’t come naturally to you, don’t worry: Enthusiasm is a muscle you can build. So get pumping.   Messy action   Time is your most valuable asset. You don’t need to know everything before you start. As long as you have some idea of what you are doing, you can figure out the rest as you go if you are just taking action. And chances are, you’ll learn it even faster.   Unapologetic asker   Many people are so focused on providing value to others. That’s great! But how would you provide value if you never knew what people needed? Let’s flip it around. How great would it make other people feel to know that they are providing you with something you value? That’s right: Fantastic.   Collaboration   Collaboration is the shortcut to success. Collaboration in your business, in your social media, and in your marketing will fast track you to success. Focus on networking and partnerships and help others grow while helping yourself. Instead of looking up to the titans in your industry, look around to the people at your level and you can all level up together.   Consistency   Statistics show that people have to see your offer 7-8 times before deciding to buy from you. With how hard it is to reach people, in order for people to see you enough you need to be taking action daily. You can learn all of these on your own. You don’t need anything to start doing these things.

In his new book "Leveling Up" Eric uses video games as a lens to view personal growth and achievement in a way that anyone can understand. If you’re ready to reach the next level, give this a listen.   Question Highlights: What does leveling up mean to you and where did it come from? What’s most important to you right now?

In This Episode You Will Learn About: The placebo effect How belief affects us positively and negatively How what you consume affects your life   Resources: instagram.com/drinklitepink   Show Notes: Believing in yourself is going to get you to where you want to go.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Doing the hard things The psychology of facing tough days Choosing your version of hard Acknowledging the season that you’re in Procrastination disguised as productivity   Resources: Text FAST to 310-421-0416 to join our Fast Foundations mastermind group Visit liquidiv.com and get 25% off your first order with promo code HAPPY   Show Notes: When you stop doing the hard stuff, life actually feels harder. It’s not always easy to do the things you need to do to live the life that you want. But if you skip out on the hard stuff, the rest of your life is only going to be harder. Doing it may be the hard part, but the reward makes life easier. There’s a couple of psychological tricks to help you face a challenging day. One is to block out the impact of how hard it’s going to be and instead focus on how it’s going to feel on the other side. You can also choose to feel grateful for everything you have in your life — including the things that are afforded by those hard things. You also need to acknowledge the season of life that you are in. Sometimes what you desire is on the other end of doing something that you don’t want to do. If you enjoy personal space but you have a goal that requires you to momentarily give that up, acknowledge it upfront so that you know that this is only temporary and that it will be worth it. Life is going to get hard. That’s unavoidable. But it’s up to you whether the hard things you do in life lead to an easier life on the other side. Pick the hard you want in life, and don’t let the drive to live easy lead to frustration.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Whether or not you’re stuck in the middle Why being stuck in the middle hurts Purposefully upping the stakes   Resources: Text FAST to 310-421-0416 to join our Fast Foundations mastermind group Show Notes: Are you trying to get things done without going all in? Don’t allow yourself to be caught in the middle. Not in the middle of drama or a fight but caught in the middle of a commitment with yourself. This doesn’t affect the people who haven’t made a commitment and are doing nothing. It also doesn’t affect the people who are already all-in. It’s for the people that are high potential and working hard for their dreams but a part of them still wants a different life. Maybe you want a better body or a better life but you’re allowing old habits to hold you back. If you’re finding yourself wanting to change in your life but you’re still stuck in your old ways you need to burn the ships. Up the stakes on your new life so that you have no choice but to keep moving forward. That may mean taking investments in your company so that you have to create a return for your investors. Doing extreme things in your life requires extreme action.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: The commonalities between leadership and relationships Giving feedback in the moment Being honest, open, and building trust What gets recognized gets repeated   Resources: Visit outstandingfoods.com/lori or use code LORI for 25% off your first order! Show Notes: There are some common threads between being a good leader and being a good romantic partner. Nobody is going to be great at either when they’re just starting out — just think back to your first relationship and I’m sure you’ll agree — but with some intentional practice, we can become better leaders and better partners at the same time. Give feedback in the moment Nothing is worse than letting a grievance sit and then coming back to it after the other person has moved on. Some people get over things much more quickly than others. If you try to bring something up later, the other person may get confused, defensive, or angry. And small things left unaddressed continue to build up until they become a huge roadblock in your relationship. That can all be avoided by bringing it up in the moment. Being honest, open, and building trust Building off of that last point, giving feedback in the moment is what is going to make people learn to trust you. Being honest also empowers other people around you to open up and be their best, and that is the sign of a good relationship in business AND life. What gets recognized gets repeated When you see the kind of behavior you want, you have to work to recognize it in a way that acknowledges the other person. This will help that behavior stick and give further clarity to the types of behaviors you want. This also opens the trust door for feedback and makes it easier to breach the conversation around what can be improved. If you take in these three tips, you’re going to make it a lot of the way towards being great in both leadership AND relationships.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Being in rooms with people that call you up Choosing discomfort Imagining the pain of staying in your comfort zone Picturing the reward for breaking the pattern   Resources: instagram.com/drinklitepink   Show Notes: You are always going to be uncomfortable for one of two reasons: you’re either leaving your comfort zone or you are staying in it too long. They both create discomfort, so which would you rather choose? Staying in your comfort zone never creates the result that you want; you don’t grow, and still end up experiencing pain when the universe decides it’s time to wake you up. Or, you can choose to leave your comfort zone on purpose and move through the discomfort to reach the next level — you’re going to be uncomfortable either way, so you might as well have something to show for it.

In her latest book, “Rethink Love,” Monica Berg challenges everything we know about our belief systems around love and relationships. The more perspective that you can have, the more powerful you are in your life and the more connected you feel.   Question Highlights: Are you using a lot of the tools you came up with in your first book? What if people feel like fear is a part of their personality? Why did you focus on love for your latest book? When do you know that it’s time to leave a relationship? How do you move from fear to possibility?   Guest Bio: Monica Berg is a CHANGE JUNKIE and she wants to challenge the way you think about EVERYTHING. In her first book, FEAR IS NOT AN OPTION, she challenged readers to eradicate fear from their lives. In her latest book, RETHINK LOVE, she uses years of personal experience teaching and counseling to eradicate false belief systems around love and relationships. Monica is a mother, wife, sister, teacher, and friend, who integrates all that she is into her mission and as Chief Communications Officer of The Kabbalah Centre, she integrates her personal mission with this ancient wisdom. Monica was born and raised in Louisiana before moving to Los Angeles. At 17, she began studying Kabbalah and knew very quickly that this was her path, eventually leading her to the serendipitous meeting of Michael Berg, her now-husband of 21 years.  During her teen years, Monica developed an eating disorder that grew into a five-year battle with anorexia and body dysmorphia. With her recovery came a better understanding of the disease and a passion to help others.  However, it wasn’t until her second child was born that Monica had to reevaluate her own belief system. Her son, Joshua, was diagnosed with Down Syndrome shortly after his birth, which was life-changing for Monica and her family. The diagnosis led to Monica’s credo, “In change, there is great power,” and the choice to believe in the beauty and potential of who her son could become and subsequently who she could become.  Monica aims to challenge people and encourages them to reframe what they think they know and she’s seen the results of rethinking first hand. Monica learns from her students as often as they from her. “I’m inspired by everyone that I come into contact with,” Monica says, “Everyone has something valuable to share and we can derive meaning from each encounter.” When she’s not writing, lecturing, or working with students at the centre, Monica contributes her time and voice to Habitat for Humanity and Something For Kelly. While she is passionate about helping all people feel empowered, she is especially committed to organizations that support women, particularly those with a mission focused on overcoming eating disorders. Monica currently resides in New York City with her husband Michael and their children David, Joshua, Miriam, and Abigail.  Her second book, Rethink Love,  will be out on February 11, 2020.
