Make this year epic by transforming into the person you've always wanted to be, one month at a time.

Let’s kick off the new year by sharing a unique approach to setting and achieving goals. Instead of making lofty New Year's resolutions that quickly fall by the wayside, why not choose 6 things you want to change over the next 12 months.

Devote a full month (or even two) to instilling each new habit, skill or boundary. This concentrated effort makes it more likely to stick. Before you know it, you'll have built the scaffolding to become the person you envision being, whether that's a public speaker, healthy athlete or boundary-setting expert.

Check out what you’ll learn:

  • Why choosing only 6 things you want to change this year will lead you down the road to success and that feeling of accomplishment.
  • Give each change a 1-2 month time period to cement in to your life, while feeling natural and effortless.
  • Envision who you need to become to achieve your goals, then act as if you're already that person. Because what got you here won’t get you there.
  • Use reminders and check-ins to keep yourself on track, so that you don’t forget what’s important to you.
  • Give yourself permission to modify goals or systems as needed.


Transformations can feel overwhelming. Let’s break it down into bite-sized wins. Ready to step into the best version of yourself over the next 12 months? Tune in now to get started!

179. The Consequences You Face When Avoiding Speaking Engagements and the Impact on Your Personal Brand | 17826 Nov 202300:20:29

Still making excuses to avoid speaking opportunities? If so, it’s costing you big time without even realizing it. 

In today's episode, we’re going to back the curtain on the steep price you pay when you let fear hold you back from sharing your message. Get ready for an eye-opening breakdown of the costly implications of saying no to speaking engagements.  

You'll discover the 5 critical areas where you miss out every time you shy away from being the booked speaker, from efficiency to revenue to social proof. 

Check out what you’ll learn:
  • How to be efficient - Speaking allows you to reach a group of ideal clients at once instead of one by one on social media or through other means.
  • Grow your credibility - Event organizers carefully select speakers to provide value to their audience. Being selected as a speaker gives you instant authority.
  • Create social proof - Speaking allows you to build social proof before and after the event through social media posts and photos/videos.
  • More revenue anyone - You can generate income directly through speaking fees and also through back-end sales to audience members who want to hire you after seeing you speak. Speaking leads to "spinoff business".
  • Stop wasting time - The longer you wait and make excuses, the more you are delaying your impact. Speaking allows you to make a bigger impact in less time.

If you feel called to take the stage but continue to hesitate, this episode is an urgent wake-up call and a roadmap for getting past the excuses to boldly say YES.

172. Beyond the Fluff: Ditch "High Vibe" and Embrace Real Thought Leadership08 Oct 202300:21:48

The High Vibe Myth: Why Being Positive Alone Won't Grow Your Business

Does simply radiating positivity actually attract and abundance of clients and grow your business? Hold on to your latte....I got news for you.

While being joyful and optimistic certainly has its place, many self-help gurus preach a “high vibe” doctrine that is oversimplified and even counterproductive. In this myth-busting episode, we unravel the flawed logic behind this movement.


Rather than vibing higher, today’s savvy entrepreneurs are embracing their inner thought leader. They’re building authority by sharing bold opinions, unique perspectives, and solutions that make their audience sit up and take notice.


Here's what we'll uncover:
  • The “high vibe” philosophy encourages suppressing natural negative emotions. But creating powerful connections requires authenticity..
  • Thought leadership is about boldly shining your own light, not dimming it to match the crowd. Your different way of thinking is exactly what makes you stand out.
  • Surrounding yourself with a diversity of viewpoints expands your mind and gives you more insightful solutions to share. An echo chamber of “high vibe” thinkers breeds stagnation.


The bottom line? Don't just smile wider. Speak your provocative truth. You'll attract raving fans eager for your wisdom, vibes be damned.
