Get clarity on the top 3 things you need to change and what to tackle first to build more freedom and flexibility in your business.

“...how can you expect to build a life that you feel proud of, how can you expect to leave a legacy without taking responsibility for where you are.  You are not a victim.  You were not born a victim, the things that are happening externally to you are not happening to you.” - Kelsea Koenreich

Today’s episode is a personal one.  

You are going to hear a story from my past, where I was faced with two choices, either 1) keep doing what I was doing or 2) to accept responsibility for my choices and take steps to move forward.

It was in this moment, where I chose to take radical responsibility for my choices and to where it led me that day - in a medical unit of my county jail, my third arrest.

Yes, that was me and I’m grateful to have this story included in my history.

And in this episode, I share with you through my own challenges and resilience, how I chose to accept responsibility for the path I was on, the choices I made and the steps I took in finding purpose and fulfillment in my life.

You’ll hear me ask you to NOT wait until you hit rock bottom (like me) or until you are miserable to take action or ask for help.

You might feel stuck right now or not know what your purpose is or what your next steps are and that’s ok.  That’s what my 1:1 in my coaching program is all about, working together, navigating through those challenges.

There is only one spot remaining for my 1:1 coaching this quarter.   

Send me a DM to see if this is a good fit for you.

[01:26] Kelsea’s story - March 2010

[06:53] “Everything that I’ve created in my life was started by that moment” - taking radical responsibility

[09:50] The shifts and the changes that have happened in my business are the shifts and changes that happen within me

[11:35] Where you are is because of you

[12:07] There is no change without acceptance

[14:31] “I invite you today no matter where you are in your life to go to a mirror and meet yourself eye to eye”

“The place that gets you where you want to go is taking ownership and stepping up and not letting yourself be limited by where you are, who you’re with or anything.” - Kelsea Koenreich

“It’s not that bad.”  

You’ve probably heard that before and probably said it yourself as well.

You’ve been in a job, relationship, or a situation where you’ve felt stuck, believing there was no way out, settling and telling yourself this is good enough.  

You are better than that.  You are worthy and deserving of MORE.  

And in this episode, Kelsea shares how it isn’t acceptable that we tell ourselves that good enough is ok.  She further explains how there is always something, at least one step we can take to move forward, that we always have a choice to make changes.  

You are not a victim, you have a choice.  You are MUCH MORE. Don’t be satisfied with good enough in life.

So, if you’re ready to take charge of your life, get UNSTUCK, and live more fulfilled, let’s make that shift together and join my Passionate Power Masterclass. 

This Masterclass is designed to help you find your purpose, ignite your passion and create the life you want from right where you are.

[01:24] “There are things I need to get off my chest, there are things I need to call you out on”

[01:56] We think that not bad is good enough

[03:51] What is the difference in how you treat yourself and how you treat other people

[04:29] Setting yourself up as a victim in your life is not going to get you where you want to go

[06:01] Fear based and scarcity decisions prevents us from growth

[07:37] Why don’t we see how worth we are

[10:29] Victim mentality 

[12:06] Be honest about the victim mentality if that is where you are at

[15:16] Recognize how deserving you are

[17:14] Step forward: do I want to live my life as a victim or do I actually want to take charge and switch perspective to what can I do 

“We have the choice as to what we choose to put in our lives.” - Kelsea Koenreich

Have you always followed rules or do you break them?

Did you ever wonder why you had to do things a certain way?

I’m right there with you. I was brought up to follow the path laid before me, to stay in my lane and do things a certain way.  

Where’s the fun in that? I’m sure you can guess how well that went for this rule-breaker! 

And in today’s episode, we’re diving into;

• Creating your own rules
• How your choices give you freedom
• Connecting with yourself leads into knowing what you want

You are where you are suppose to be, not where someone else has told you to be.  Even if that means you broke a few rules here and there 😉

That is why I’m asking you today, the rule breaker, are you ready to take your success to the next level?  

Say YES to more fulfillment in your life and get FIRED UP!

The Fired Up Freedom program gives you actionable steps and mindset shifts bringing you new-found excitement in building the life you desire.

[01:28.1] Rule-breaking, creating your own rules

[04:50.6] What would happen if I tried this differently

[05:13.3] “I am the maker of my destiny, I am the one making choices, I am the one in charge of the direction I’m going”

[08:36.0] What happens if you have followed all of the rules and you’ve done everything right, and you wake up and think that’s it?

[10:04.5] What if we chose thing that allowed us to take care of our responsibilities while giving us freedom

[13:24.0] Because you can make more money doing something you’re meant for instead of just following the rules

[14:03.5] You’re suppose to be where you want to be

[14:50.5] Your freedom is your choice

[15:34.4] It’s normalized to not have freedom

[16:38.5] Experience will be more valuable than education. (There’s balance here)

[19:45.6] Knowing now that you are programmed, what would you life look like if you were fulfilled or had freedom

“So, if you want to find a new career.  If you want to find something that feels fulfilling, you first need to recognize that you deserve to have a job that brings fulfillment.” - Kelsea Koenreich

Do you really love what you do in your job, in your career?

Ask yourself honestly; 
  Am I excited everyday to go to work?  
  Does this work bring me joy?  
  Is my work fulfilling?

What if I told you that to find happiness, fulfillment, joy, and excitement in your career, you must first BELIEVE YOU ARE WORTH IT?

Believe it girl, you are. 

As Kelsea explains in today’s episode, to step into a fulfilling career you must;

• Believe in yourself
• Recognize your worth
• Get clear on what you enjoy and,
• Start looking for it

You can have a job you enjoy going to, making an impact, creating a change and making a difference.

You will find happiness, fulfillment, joy, and excitement if you seek it.

This is all possible for you and if recognize you are ready to grow and take the next steps, but are not sure where to start, send Kelsea a DM.

It’s your time to explore, discover and reconnect with what you love!

[01:01.5] Careers, working, jobs, fulfillment

[01:17.3] We live in a society where it is normalized to not be fulfilled at work

[02:43.5] We spend so much time of our life working, why are we going to do stuff for that amount of time that we don’t enjoy

[06:20.7] Our thoughts are what creates our reality

[08:20.0] When you want to find a career that you actually love, you first have to believe you are worth having a career that makes you feel this way

[10:18.3] Finding a career you want is so important, because if it hasn’t affected the relationships and energy in the home now - it will.

[14:13.6] We are originally taught to stay on the line, stay on the path

[16:01.9] Therefore we have to do things differently

“Everything in our life can be by our own design and can be what we want it to be.  We are the creators of our own lives.” - Kelsea Koenreich

When you were growing up, was there already a chosen path laid out for you?  

Ya know, get married, work a 9-5 job, have kids and a house with a white picket fence? 

Fuck that old school mindset!

YOU are the creator of your own life.  You CAN build and design your own life to be what YOU want it to be.

And that’s exactly what I’m talking about in today’s episode.  I’m going to tell you how you can step into your power, forge your own journey, make your own rules, and do whatever the fuck you want!

You are not powerless, YOU ARE POWERFUL!

Your life is meant to be built around the things YOU want to do.

And, if you are feeling unfulfilled in your job and you are ready to rebuild and design a life you want to live, I am inviting you to join Launch CEO.

“When you step into your power, magical shit happens, because you realize how powerful you are, and then people feed off that energy and you feed off that energy.” - Kelsea Koenreich

I want you to know something.  You are POWERFUL!  Right now, right where you are, you have made or are making changes that are creating a ripple effect all around you.  You might not see it, but you are.  

Each one of YOU have the ability to make an impact.  As soon as you recognize this, you will be empowered and driven towards success.  Step into your power.

[09:03.3] You are probably more impactful than you give yourself credit for.

[17:24.6] Recognizing you have the power.

[19:24.0] Acting as if

“I really just want you to sink into the realization that the only difference in somebody who you view as successful, and you is that they are not acting from a place of fear.” - Kelsea Koenreich

FUCK!

No, not that F word!  Today I’m talking about another more common F word.  FEAR!

When does fear come up the most for you?  Do you notice it when you start something new or do something uncomfortable for the first time? Does your fear tell you things like; “no one will like this, this isn’t going to work, this won’t be successful”?

Yep, I feel it too.

You’re not alone! Everyone feels fear. No matter where someone is in their life or who they are, they have felt fear.

Fear is scary. Fear is the unknown. Fear is what’s holding you back.

In today’s episode, we tackle:

• The other F word, Fear
• Recognizing it and being aware of how its holding you back
• Facing your fears
• Actionable steps to banish and get rid of your fears

When you STOP focusing on what the end results may be and START focusing on the journey, you CAN overcome those fears.

See the fear and do it anyways.

And you need help working through that, I’m here.  Send me a DM and let’s chat about how I can help you work through your fear.

TIMESTAMPS:

[01:19] How to handle the fear that comes up so you can actually go after your goals and dreams.

[03:50] One of the biggest things holding people back is fear or even how (how will I actually get there, who am I to create that and do that).

[05:10] Zooming out of the fear - The alternative to not creating something is that somebody suffers.

[09:35] Two different stories about fear.

[12:49] How much of where you are is fear holding you back.

[18:39] There’s a lot of mindset drama.

"There has to be balance with the rest and recovery and fun and play in order to actually make us better business women.” - Kelsea Koenreich

Newsflash: Your hustle is not serving you or the people around you, it's working against you.  

In this episode we take a deep dive into why hustling backfires.  How it can leave you;

• Feeling burnt out
• Paralyzed by overwhelm
• Not showing up in your work
• Making more mistakes

Our society and culture has glorified hustling, connecting it to how successful you can be.  That in order to have success or be successful, you have to run yourself into the ground.  The belief that you will only be rewarded when you work your ass off.

FALSE!  

When you reach that place of burnout, you are putting your needs to the side, you are not living up to your true success and you can’t serve others the you really want.

And if the way you’re working right now isn’t sustainable long-term, it will show up in other areas of your life…your relationships, your work and financially.  

I worked HARD to shift my mindset away from the hustle culture and what society wants us to believe to be successful.  With the lessons I’ve learned, I’m excited to share those with you in my 3-day Money Masterclass 💰

In three days, you’ll come away with how to have more financial freedom and how to earn more money to get all the opportunities you desire.

Join me as we shift our money mindsets and make life changing transformations!

[07:39] When you’re so burnt out, you shut down

[11:40] There is only so long of “fake it until you make it”

[14:12] Another reason hustling holds us back - you are not living in true success

[16:34] Just because you are stacking paper in your bank account, it doesn’t mean you are successful

“What if I told you that the way to be taken care of, and to live a life of abundance and have financial success was actually to change your mindset.” - Kelsea Koenreich

If I were to ask you today, what do you want to do? What do you actually enjoy doing? 

Are any of those things what you currently do?  If not, then you need to reconsider what you’re doing.  

I’ve been there myself, stuck in a fixed mindset with a job where I felt safe because it's what I knew, it felt stable. I was believing a story about why I needed to work. 

I was trading my time for money.  I was only driven by my responsibilities and was not fulfilled. 

The truth is, you don’t have to stay in positions or jobs where you run on autopilot.  You don’t need to work just to pay bills. You can be fulfilled BY expanding and not boxing yourself in.  

Because the life you want to live is right outside that expansion. 

There’s power in recognizing that you are meant for more, that you can make an impact and that you have a purpose.   

I’m done wasting my time trying to fit into one category and I hope you are too!  Let’s work together on expanding ourselves by recognizing our worth, following our desires and doing more of the things we love.

In this episode you’ll learn: 

• To think outside of the box you’ve put yourself in
• How changing your mindset allows you freedom to play
• By creating new stories, you can let go of the old ones

I would love for you to take a screenshot, share this with the people you love or on your social media, so they can hear it too, because each of us there's so much space for all of us to expand.

[04:35.8] Expansion

[04:47.6] So many of us put ourselves in boxes…

[06:19.8] Go back to your mindset when you first started working, we don’t think about evolving or changing our mindset as we continue growing.

[07:38.9] The expansion of our own minds to think outside of the box or boxes that we are putting ourselves in.

[08:53.6] You have to let the desire and the knowing of what you’re meant for drive where you are going.

[11:44.8] Client example of expansion and thinking outside of the obx.

[13:21.2] You are not a job description, you are a human.

[15:58.8] Everybody deserves to wake up in the morning and be excited.

[16:29.3] Let go of HOW it’s going to happen and just TRUST that you can get there.

[18:08.8] There is no secret funnel, strategy.

[19:55.4] We are the only people that hold us back.

“Make sure you’re looking for opportunity rather than falling victim to another day” -Kelsea Koenreich

If you think about your goals, what’s driving you?
Are your goals for yourself? Or someone else?
What are you searching for in the new year?

Anytime that I have tried to shift away from my authentic self, I have felt miserable. When I’ve questioned myself or tried to do what others around me were doing, I failed miserably all because I wasn’t being me.

If we are only doing what other people want and not serving ourselves, we will become burnt out and unable to take care of ourselves and those we love.

If this has been the cycle you’re stuck in, don’t worry, I’m here to help! When you have your own goals and intentions, things can change for you.  In order to dominate your goals, you need to make sure they align with who you want to become.

Ask yourself, am I worth showing up for? 

Today I encourage you to do more of what makes you happy. Your subconscious may tell you you’re not worth it, but you are meant to move mountains and leave a legacy!  Let's work together on recreating your thought process and design your dream life.

In this episode you will learn: 

• That doing more of what YOU want to do can lead you to your dreams
• Following through is a stepping stone to becoming your true self
• Changing your beliefs will change what your life looks like

I would love to know what you think of this episode. Take a screenshot, post on your Instagram story, and tag me so I know you’re listening.

“The growth and success you want is on the other side of your internal change.”  -Kelsea Koenreich

Welcome to 2021!

Reflecting on 2020, what growth and lessons did you learn?
Moving forward in 2021, what new changes and habits would you like to build?
What beliefs do you have surrounding your future success?

2020 was a year of rawness for a lot of us. 

The distractions and busyness of life went away with the pandemic, forcing us to look at ourselves. I am so thankful for this past year because it ripped me apart, forcing me to do some deep, underlying work. 

In order for you to show up and be present on a consistent basis, you need balance. Balance comes from doing the underlying work of learning to reflect, recover and grow. 

I will be the first to tell you, this type of change is not easy but don’t worry, I’m here to help you!

You deserve to be committed to your own growth and self development. You deserve to have the life you dream of… and you can by doing the foundational, internal work.

In this episode you will learn: 

• How to balance underlying work and physical action
• Areas you should focus on right now for optimal growth
• How to grow internally so your life externally can flourish

If you need any help, send me a message. My inbox is always open- let's talk about creating genuine change and transformation.

Also, I would love to know that you’re listening to this podcast. Take a screenshot, post on your Instagram story, and tag me so I know you’re listening.

[01:57] People chose to do 2 things in 2020. Some saw it as an opportunity or struggle. 

[03:22] Despite the pandemic, 2021 can still be your year.

[04:24] The two things you need to create change and have growth are underlying work and physical action. 

[06:06] What do we mean by underlying work & the importance of underlying work.  

[08:47] Consistent action is important regardless who you are, what you do for work. We have to show up. 

[10:45] Finding balance - time to play and create.

[13:14] So the physical action needs to be consistent and aligned. 

[14:22] What worked, doing the internal work. 

[14:43] Reflections on working with a coach. "She gives me what I need, not what I want". 

[16:11] The change & the success you want in your life starts with you, it starts with the physical action of consistently showing up and the underlying work of you looking at yourself internally and asking "what do I need to change here..."

[17:45] So when you're searching for change or wondering how to grow, look within first.

[19:12] You can only take aligned physical action when you are aligned. 

[20:12] Incredibly grateful for 2020.

“If you keep choosing the easy path, you will never get to the place you want to be.” -Kelsea Koenreich

Do you feel like asking for help shows weakness or lack of control?
Are you holding yourself back because you don’t have the confidence to speak up? 
What do you have in your busy schedule that doesn’t need to be there or that you can hand off?

The first time I went to jail, I called my mom. She told me I got myself there, and I needed to figure out how to get out. That was so tough to hear. I reflect on that conversation now and think of how that phrase applies to my day-to-day life.

We live in a world that teaches us to detach and to live a fast-paced life.  It is common to ignore yourself and your needs, only to serve others. But this isn’t really living! 

Imagine sitting and enjoying where you are and meeting your personal and business goals. Being connected to ourselves can be one of the most difficult things we can do.

I had to reframe my habits countless times and realize that white knuckling control was tearing me down. It’s  OKAY to let someone else help me, although I know they won’t do it exactly like me. 

There is help in so many places, but it is your job to speak up! If we keep choosing the easy route in life, we will never get to the places we want to be. 

I know what it feels like to be detached from EVERYTHING and like life is burning you.

However, I have learned it is possible to accomplish everything on your to-do list and still take care of yourself. Your life should not feel like you are going just from day to day - that is not living! 

In this episode you will learn:

• Why time management is crucial to your overall success
• How to get out of your head and start truly living today.
• The importance of organizing your life, routines, and schedules so you are not buried

You can break the cycle of being detached by starting with this and start with what you learn in this episode. Are you ready? Let’s go!

“ We have to make commitments to ourselves because we cannot succeed if we are alone, unfulfilled, and not pouring back into ourselves.” – Kelsea Koenreich

Do you have goals outside of your career? 
Are you finding yourself running on autopilot and never fully not fully in the present? 
Do you feel you’re living outside your true purpose and potential? 

Once upon a time, I was addicted to the party lifestyle. When that way of life no longer served me, I moved on to being obsessed with fitness and nutrition. 
 
Not too long after, my business became my next obsession and my attempt to feel fulfilled in life… but I was still empty.
 
After a lot of inner work, I finally realized my emptiness came from a lack of investment in myself. I wasn’t giving any thought or attention to my goals or desires and it was leaving me feeling hollow - something had to change.
 
While success looks different to all of us, goal setting remains to be a major part of its foundation. Setting goals outside of your work nurtures balance, purpose, and fulfillment in your everyday life. 

If you notice you’re unhappy and unfulfilled in your life, despite your best efforts, then listen up because this episode is for you!

In this episode, you will learn:

• How to appreciate the success you’ve already achieved
• The importance of having a clear goals and expectations
• How to be uncomfortable while growing
  
  

The most productive self-development is born during struggles, so I encourage you to embrace your current struggle and reflect on your life goals.
 
Draw these goals out, and if you find you cannot reach these goals alone, it is OKAY to ask for help until you can.
 
Remember, you are deserving and can be successful and happy at the same time.

[2:06] Kelsea's Uncomfortable Period of Growth

[2:56] Swapping Addictions

[4:37] Doing what we feel like we should when we are balancing the extremes. 

Focused so much on helping other people, Kelsea found herself detached 

from other areas of her life - ie. kids, family, etc.

[7:01] Even if you are fulfilled, you need to continue to do the work. 

[7:43] We cannot have success, true success without being committed to 

ourselves.

[7:59] I was so focused on succeeding and becoming better in my business that I 

ended up out of alignment with myself.

[9:55] I have to be sure that the things I'm pouring in are impactful and actually 

fulfilling.

[12:19] I am making and have made the promise to myself to always be myself.

[12:52] Struggles are so important because that is where growth is born. 

High-achieving women and empty places in their schedules. "What do I do 

with my hands."

[17:16] Open Doors of Creativity

[20:08] Space and stillness are necessary

[21:27] You can have high income w/ high fulfillment.

"When you feel worthy, the outside is a representation of what's on the inside" - Kelsea Koenreich

Do you have a constant need for validation to feel worthy?
Are you disconnected from yourself and your desires? 
Do you put other people's needs above your own? 

If you struggle with self worth, you might notice that you tend to put yourself in a position where you feel needed, and trample your own needs in the process. 

In the past, I put countless things above myself and what I needed. Now I have learned that I do not need to prove myself to anyone but me. 

Think of the life you feel you deserve- practice these thoughts and they will become true: 
Who sets the standards in your life?
Is it you or are you allowing it to be someone or something to influence your decisions? 

In this episode you will learn:

• How to build up your self-worth
• Step back into decision-making mode for yourself
• How to overcome expired belief systems  

Through this podcast, you will learn to rebuild trust with yourself; to show up for yourself and to make your needs a priority.

Feeling worthy and valuable is required for Success. Let's do this together and end 2020 in the best way possible!

"The more time you spend in a stuck, frustrated, and trapped place, the more time you are taking away from your life.” -Kelsea Koenreich

Do you feel stuck in the quicksand of everyday life? 
Are you unsure of what your next move should be? 
Is your current work situation leaving you feeling constantly frustrated?

I’ve been there too and here’s what I learned; You must realize that it’s your choice to stay or move, it’s your call. It’s time for you to take ownership, take that first baby step, and soon you’ll be walking in your purpose with confidence, I know you can do it!

Still not sure what that looks like? Then this episode is for you! 

In this episode you will learn:

• How to open new doors and understand why you shouldn’t go through old ones  
• How to identify the root of your frustration
• The key steps you need to take to live a life of freedom.

If there’s one thing I want you to take away from this podcast, it is that you can pull yourself out of any situation. Be brutally honest with yourself and do not blame others for where you are right now, but be courageous in your pursuit of freedom.

Are you stuck in your day to day?

Is your life defined by your schedule?

Do you feel lost in life?

You may have lost your sense of purpose. Today we’re going to talk about how you can wake up with a sense of purpose each morning. Purpose is important because it gives us inspiration, motivates us, and moves us to grow as individuals.

What if I told you, you were meant for so much more than just paying bills and following a schedule?

“Trying to prove yourself to anyone that you actually belong somewhere is exhausting. You belong and are good enough.” - Kelsea Koenreich

Today we're talking about the pressure that comes with success. It’s an important topic because pressure to succeed is something we all feel. Pressure can drive us to great heights, but if we’re not careful, we can crumble under it. Like a pendulum we can swing to very opposite ends of the extremes; Back and forth, productive and burn out, highs and lows.

Please stop! You're just running yourself into the ground.
There's only so many hours in a day and what you choose to put in those hours is up to you. What you choose to say yes and no to is also up to you.

In this episode you will learn:

• What unhealthy pressure feels like
• Where the pressure to be successful comes from
• How to handle pressure in a healthy way

If you are struggling with pressure and you don't know where to start, reach out to me, send me a message. Also, if you guys have more questions, please reach out to me. I see you, I hear you, and I am with you.

Creating Long-Term Change For Your Leadership & Business for Happiness

Ever want something so badly, but it just feels too far out of reach?

You’ve been doing all the right things in your business to get where you are, but you crave something bigger — you yearn to run and grow your business differently.

So what do we need to do to create this change? 

In this episode, I’m revealing the secrets to instilling long-term change, so that you can expand your business to allow you to serve more while also allowing you to rest and reset, so that you truly enjoy the role you’re in as a CEO. 

Today we are discussing:

On this Episode of the Korner Cast we are discussing Homeschooling! 

I am joined by Sarah Beth Hurley who is a former staff member of the Four Wind Society founded by Alberto Villoldo, owner of Heartlight services - a private energy medicine practice that focuses on healing, behavioral issues, and trauma in children and families. 

Under Alberto, Sarah developed the Indigo Aztec Method and Indigenous Wisdom School for Children. This led her to publish a children's workbook, Heal Your Feelings, giving children tools to empower themselves to heal their own emotional blocks. 

Sarah is also a former foster mom. Her work with foster children inspired her to start Switch Life which is a nonprofit that provides free skateboarding lessons and a goal-setting curriculum. When at home, Sarah enjoys mothering her five children, spending time in the kitchen, and knitting. And the very best part of all this, Sarah is also my sister!

We discuss curriculums, structures, organization, and how to find what works for you and your family. When it comes down to it, you know your child best - this empowers you to help your child learn. 

We discuss removing the expectations and preconceived notions surrounding homeschooling and recognize that homeschooling can take on many diverse forms.

Sarah’s three steps to start homeschooling are:

1. The first step is to figure out if you plan on sending your child back to public school or doing homeschooling for all of school
2.  Figure out how your child learns best so that you can choose a curriculum
3. Get organized - build your child’s education around your lifestyle

If you are considering homeschooling know that you are not alone, let go of the overwhelming expectations, and embrace the adventure!

As always if you have any questions please feel free to DM me, I see you, I hear you, I am with you!

Are you ready for Episode #2 of The Korner Cast?

 We're talking about More Sleep For Everybody - Sounds amazing right?

While sleep deprivation may be your current reality, especially if you have a brand new baby at home, that doesn’t mean your life will always be lacking rest.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret…

There are ways to create habits that teach you and your child to sleep longer and deeper - All it takes is a little planning, creativity, and support from others, but it can be done!

What’s neat is there are many different approaches, but what I’ve recognized is that like any habit, starting these disciplines really young, makes a big difference.

In this episode, I dive into how important sleep is for all members of the family and different tricks I’ve picked up along the way to help myself and my littles be more rested.

And all of us want more sleep and all of us want to feel better. This is something that we can all do and have, it just takes a little practice.

As always, if you guys have any questions, feel free to reach out to me and remember, I see you, I hear you.

Welcome to the Korner Cast!

To kick off episode #1 of The Korner Cast, I tell you a story about Cameron and a Lego that ended up somewhere it shouldn’t be.

Navigating through this hilarious situation was only possible due to the communication habits I’ve been able to create with him.

Teaching your children effective communication can seem like an overwhelming task initially but it’s actually very simple. Effective communication requires input from both sides and that includes our children.

If you allow your child to speak and have a voice in conversations and if you ask them questions instead of just speaking in statements, you begin to teach them to learn how to communicate well.

A child that understands how to describe their emotions, navigate their thought processes, and use their voice effectively, grows up to be an adult that is an excellent communicator.

When you ask your child more questions in the midst of dialoguing with them, you help them become more confident. Let them process and choose a question instead of a statement as a response, you’ll be surprised sometimes by how deep your little person is!

This process helps them understand themselves better and helps them to turn into adults that can communicate - all by choosing to kind of bite your tongue!

In life, there are experiences, things, people, and places that impact us. A lot of times we’re not even aware of what those things are, but continue to be influenced by them. In this episode of the Bravehearted Podcast, we take turns asking each other about situations that impacted our lives and how we have learned to let go of those things that have held us back in the past.

We discuss childhood trauma and how it has a major effect on self-worth and self-belief. Unresolved trauma can manifest in many negative ways later in life. These roots of pain can easily grow and overtake our life creating body issues, how we relate to those around us, and even impact our work life. 

Letting go of shame, poor choices, or a hard past can be a difficult process. It often takes proactive work and dedication. We both have experienced and believe in the power of therapy and coaching - this is why we are so passionate about what we do!

When feeling held back it is important to pause, take a moment of reflection, and understand why we make the decisions that we’re making or we feel the way that we feel. Acknowledgment is only once piece of the puzzle! You need tools and resources that will equip you to break free of whatever it is that has you all tangled up.

We recommend several tools to use in this podcast including Therapy, coaching, finding good friends that will give you sound advice, and journaling. You don’t have to be a victim anymore. You can live a free, fulfilled, and brave life!

Still unsure where to start or how to make these changes in your life? Contact us! We always love hearing from you and are ready to help you out.

People have many opinions and tend to have strong emotional attachments to those opinions due to their life experiences. Navigating through different perspectives of those around us can seem like you’re making your way through a minefield and feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be that way!

In this episode of The Bravehearted Podcast, we are breaking down accepting people as they are without violating ourselves in the process. We discuss how important it is to understand that acceptance does not mean that you're accepting defeat. It also does not mean you’re allowing something that contradicts your beliefs into your life. But rather, acceptance is seeking to understand and exercise empathy in the midst of a disagreement.

We also talk about how a lack of acceptance comes from not being accepting of yourself and how to peel back the layers of personal resentment and begin practicing self-acceptance.
 
After listening to this episode you will understand how to accept people as they are, be able to communicate effectively with the intention to build understanding and make more room for empathy in your life. 

It’s our goal to empower you to live bravely and give you actionable tools to do that in a practical way. If you find that you are in need of continuing this conversation or further support, feel free to message us on Instagram!
