2021 New Year’s resolutions are right around the corner. Goal setting season is almost here and if you’re not using visualization as a tool to help you reach your goals, you are missing out on something pretty transformational! I want to show you how you can use this tool to create an extraordinary life for yourself.

One powerful tool that I want to share to help you on your journey to greatness is visualization. Visualization is the practice of using your imagination to see the outcomes you desire. Using your mind, you can create mental pictures of the world you wish to see, whether that is the view from your new beach house when you wake up each day or the sale of your business for more than you expected. Your mind is a powerful force. The thoughts created from your mind hold the power to determine your destiny.

If you’re not using this as a part of your new year's resolutions or goal planning, you are missing out on this strategy that is scientifically proven to help you acc...

Before you start manifesting your big, fantastic, extraordinary life – you have to make sure that you are not making the #1 mistake that most people make that prevents them you living their dream life. Do you know what it is? It’s not being crystal clear about exactly what they want. You’d be surprised how many people want to earn “more money” but do not know exactly what dollar figure “more money” is.

So, let’s talk about goals and how to take this important first step that will ultimately determine if you achieve those goals.

I’ve worked with a lot of entrepreneurs who have goals to grow their business. They want to make more money, help serve more people and grow their brand in the community. But, they make a critical mistake, which is they don’t know the specifics of what they want.  

So what happens if you don’t get specific? What happens if you want to “be healthier” but you don't take time to detail out what that means to you. I could make you a healthy meal and does...

🎄’TIS THE GIFT GIVING SEASON 🎄

Oh 2020! What better time to give your loved ones the gift of mindfulness.

According to a recent study by the American Psychological Association, 2 in 3 adults report having experienced increased stress during the pandemic.

Here’s a list of my fav mindfulness gifts 🎁 (full disclosure- I work for Elements Massage but other than that, I’m not associated with any of these brands and don’t sell them- just a fan!)

Mind Shift Membership by Davidji - one of my favorite meditation teachers 🧘🏻‍♀️

Lululemon’s “the mat” yoga mat- this has been my go-to mat for years! 

I’m a BIG fan of Gabby Bernstein!! The book, “The Universe Has Your Back” helped me create so much positive change in my life! I reread these books over and over! 📚 Also, what a great way to support small businesses by buying local!

Another way to support small business is buying a sage and palo santo kit from a seller on etsy! I just recently purchased a kit for my mom. My ...

At any moment throughout the day, you can find gratitude. Yes, even on miserable days and miserable conditions. You have to power at any moment to find gratitude and I want to teach you one quick trick to get into that state.

I think that many of us have moments where we feel grateful. But, if you’re like me – I’m not always in the state of “gratitude.” I’m on my phone or annoyed at an email that I got. I’m getting coffee with Nate thinking about the work I have to do right after this. Can you relate?

There was a Harvard study that was done that found that people are not focused on what’s in front of them 47% of the time, which caused the participates to not feel happy.

The art of mindfulness is simply that – when we are connected to what’s in front of us (aka the present moment), we are happy. We are at peace, we are full of gratitude. But, it’s so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day, that we don’t full appreciate the beauty around us…even this time of year - a time...

Here’s one of the most important things I have learned: be mindful of the energy that you bring when you walk into a room. This nugget came from the one and only – Oprah, so you know it’s a good one! Let’s talk about one quick trick to help you bring only the best energy into every room you enter.

I want you to be the type of person that everyone is glad to see when you walk into a room! What about the opposite of that…can you picture someone that you just freakin dread every time they come into a room? I’ve called people “Eeyore.” Do you want to be that kind of person? NO! Do people want to work with people like that? NO! Do they want to do have a drink with someone like that? NO! So, let’s uplift the energy in every room we enter!

First, what the hell is energy and why is it so important? You know when you get bad “vibes” from someone? You can’t quite place it…they didn't say anything particularly bad, but you just feel something off. Alternatively, do you know the feeling of...

There’s one thing that should ABSOLUTELY be a the top of priority list. It’s not your family, your job, or your long-term goals. Do you know what it is? It’s YOU! Your health, your emotional state, your needs, should be the #1 priority. Because – you can’t give what you don’t have! Are you giving your best self?

Ok, so how do we be great? Is it selflessly giving to others until we are drained and tired? Is it putting everyone else’s needs above our own until we have lost out connection to our own desires and passion? Absolutely not!

We know this, yet – so many people put “self-care” on the bottom of their daily to-do list. It becomes something like, "I’ll go to yoga if I have time." "Once I get the kids ready for the day, I may try to squeeze in a meditation." "Next week, I’ll reach out to my friends to see if they want to go to happy hour."

But look – what are the results of putting your needs last? I’ll tell you: stress, poor sleep, fogginess and weight gain. When we d...

Right now, there is a tremendous amount of tension between people. Do you know what I'm talking about? Our actions, our words are divisive. There's a lot of “us” versus “them” mentality, and I want to know honestly, are you being a part of the solution or are you being a part of that problem?

In our current climate, people are choosing to be incredibly divisive. It's non-mask wearers versus mask wearers. It's Republicans versus Democrats. We're making the choice to see people as separate, as unlike us, as different. We are quick to stereotype, we’re quick to judge, we’re quick to belittle, and honestly, we're quick to hate other people who don't share the same ideas and beliefs that we do.

So, I want to know what's going to happen if we continue to live like this? What will our communities be like if we continue to judge and place hate and be separate from other people? Is this the kind of world that you want to live in? Most of us say, no! I want to live in a world where there...

Today, I want to let you in on a little secret of living an extraordinary life…you have to be willing to do the things that ordinary people don’t do.

So, are you willing to do one thing that 95% of Americans are not doing? Depends…what is it, you ask? Any guesses? It is (drumroll, please)…exercise regularly!

Were you hoping I’d say something else, like drink a glass of wine a day. I saw this study that was out on the Department of Health and Human Services website that said that “less than 5% of adults participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day.” So that means that 95% of Americans aren't getting 30 minutes of physical activity each day.

Well, guess what? Exercise is it's a part of the greatness formula! I've been a regular exerciser for about 20 years; it's a core of who I am. It is what helps me approach each day with the energy and vitality that I need to show up as my best self.

I could list the health benefits of exercise, but I'm going to guess that you probably ...

Welcome to this week's “Here to be Great” guide. Here's what we're talking about this week: what to do when things don't go your way.

What an appropriate theme for 2020! Anybody else having a pretty rough year? By anyone, I mean, isn't everyone!

So this year...I lost my grandmother unexpectedly, I had my pay cut significantly, I was on unemployment, I've had trips canceled and even just recently, I didn't get a home that I was really looking forward to.

 So I thought let's take a little bit deeper look at the four-step process that I've been going through when things don't go my way.

Step 1: I always believe that I am being guided.

I always believed that I am being guided and I really believe that everything is happening for the highest good of all. So when something doesn't go my way, the first thing I think is - I believe that I'm being guided and I trust the universe. This is (for whatever reason) for the highest good for all.

Step 2: I say “thank you.”

Thank you. Thank...
