Life

Did you forget you are a superhero? I did. Somewhere along the path of this life, I forgot I was a superhero. I think that happens to a lot of us. Life gets so busy – and not always in good ways. And, it can be easy, tempting even, to get so lost in the business that we lose sight of ourselves in the process. Checklists and To Dos are often easier on us that we are on ourselves. Especially when life gets a bit, well – extra. I know. Between 2014 and 2018, life got EXTRA extra. My mom was crippled by a gift I gave her (hot air balloon ride) My niece committed suicide My mom died barely three weeks after finding a

You get another chance at EVERYTHING! Yes – you. You’re gonna get it! MORE, of everything Another chance Look, whatever happened is in the books. What happens now can be one FOR the books! You get another chance. Take it. No one is actually keeping score – so don’t you do it either. Celebrate who you are today Do NOT worry about who you were yesterday Dream of who you can be tomorrow And tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow … And another chance … and it’s ok to get a little help to take those second chances! Whether through meditation, focus, self-care, a random day off, reading, talking with friends, meeting new people, finding an uplifting podcast, music or show – whatever helps you see

You must take the time to detox your mind. Friday is an excuse. TGIF and all – it’s the day we remind each other to take a break, take it easy and take a load off ourselves (and our minds) for the next two days. The truth is the Friday is an excuse.A GOOD EXCUSE!(to detox your mind!) Because, while it’s completely legit (like, 1000000%) to remind ourselves of that ANY day, it feels more acceptable on end-of-week Fridays. Detox your mind So here we are. And I’m taking the opportunity of this day to hop on that mental mind hack and encourage you to take time this weekend (and any time) to shake off the stress, anxiety, worry and otherwise detox from all of

I know why you’re having trouble building confidence – and my guess is you do, too. The #1 reason you are having trouble building confidence is because you are stuck in your story.

🤔Are you happy at work? Where does happiness show up at work? It doesn’t matter if you hate your work or your boss is a jerk. Happiness is there. https://careerinsightsconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/YT-and-LI-Thumbnails.mp4 Sure, it might seem like it’s playing a mean game of hide and keep friggin’ hiding on you, but it’s there. I’m my own social proof (and so are you, you just may not know it yet). Happy at work > Lean in / Lean on A faulty power line destroyed our house in 2018. Suddenly homeless and very quickly financially strapped – happiness wasn’t real high on my list of things to find. It’s easy to lose sight of it when you still have to pay the mortgage on an unlivable structure, along with

It doesn’t take much to build your confidence muscle. Even the smallest things can help boost your awareness of how amazing you are.

Confidence or esteem? When it comes to the ‘self’ – which is more important? 🤔 I often see these two terms used interchangeably, and that’s unfortunate. Because, while there are areas of significant overlap, confidence and esteem are not the same. Confidence or Esteem The presence or absence of one does not guarantee the same of the other. In fact, is entirely possible to be confident in our abilities but have low self-esteem. So, which is more important? ▸ Self-esteem – the internal lens through which we view our ‘selves’?▸ Or self-confidence – the external lens through which we view our abilities, skills, knowledge? A career banker looking to change careers could be incredibly confident in their financial ability, skill, knowledge, while simultaneously dealing with

No one – not anyone anywhere – can do what I can do. ☝️That is a fact. ‘Who’s your competition?” When I was asked that question recently, my answer was simple and swift – ‘I don’t have any.” Because no one can do what I can do. The converse is also true.Everyone can do what I can do.😕🤪 Because what I do is based on everything I know – from my experience.Personal and professional. Lots of people have the same training, but no one on the planet has the same lived experience and know-how that I do. The same is true for you! What I can do: In a nutshell, I design personal systems for people to overcome what’s keeping them from success.😩Could be solving

My house blew up four years ago today. Why am I so happy? Because I’m here, y’all! THAT’S WHY! I EARNED the right to CELEBRATE this day! SO many questions that NO ONE could answer but me. What am I going to do? Can I figure this out? Am I smart enough to handle this? Will I be ok? Will my job be ok?🤕 How do I fix my life and do my job at the same time? 😣 How will I live? WHERE will I live? How will I PAY for everything? When will this be over? What does life even look like after this? I KNOW you can do anything When you’re left with nothing (like not even a spoon) AND you’re paying

“Did you move the furniture?” My mom asked this question every time I ‘cleaned’ my room. “Yup!” I’d lie as I bounced down the stairs, off to do something else. This was a pretty common pattern of mine. Rushing through the things I had to do so I could spend more time on the things I wanted to do. Piano practice.Folding laundry.Loading the dishwasher. Pretty common for kids, I think. How we learn No one knows what they don’t know – until they know it. I took lessons for 9 years, and I am to this day an 𝘶𝘯𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 untalented pianist.I know why. It didn’t take long before I was no longer ‘part of the family fold’ (mom gave up dreams of ever having unwrinkled

We tell ourselves stories to fill gaps in the information we’re missing. Our brains are actually wired for this – to look for patterns, to ‘go from what we know’, etc. The challenge with that is that it often leads us to create narratives, shift beliefs and develop feelings that we then take action on.  Action based on information we made up.And we’ve all done it. What story are you telling yourself? What do they say about assumptions? In business, this can be smart when assumptions are part of project, business development and contingency planning. In our personal lives, assumptive reasoning is not always the smart play. Here’s a super-duper way simple example:  Adam has a paper due next week on the history of his
