As someone who has been coaching my clients into healthier habits over the last 11 years, I've noticed the most common mistakes people make. In this episode, I share the top 3 mistakes to avoid (and what to do instead)

Key Takeaways:

1. **Avoid Reliance on Willpower**

- **The Finite Resource:** Understand that willpower is limited. Instead of white-knuckling through change, connect with your "why." What drives you to establish this habit?

- **Visualize Success:** Regularly reflect on the positive outcomes of your new habit to fuel your motivation during tough moments.

2. **Break Free from All-or-Nothing Thinking**

- **Start Small:** Embrace the power of incremental change. Opt for “baby steps” to keep overwhelmed feelings at bay. For instance, if creating social media content feels daunting, commit to just one minute of effort daily.

- **Stay Flexible:** Anticipate challenges and be ready to adapt your approach. Your path may shift, but that doesn’t mean progress has to stop.

3. **Modify Your Environment**

- **Support Your Habits:** Shift your surroundings to nurture your new habits. Create dedicated spaces or visual reminders that encourage your growth.

- **Eliminate Distractions:** Identify and remove elements that provoke old, unwanted behaviors. Turn your environment into a catalyst for sustained change.

Action Steps:

1. **Identify an Area of Improvement:** Pinpoint one significant area in your life needing change.

2. **Select a Key Habit:** Determine the most impactful habit you can cultivate in this area.

3. **Break It Down:** Simplify the habit into the smallest actionable step to initiate your journey.

4. **Clarify Your "Why":** Write down the benefits you’ll gain by sticking to this new habit.

5. **Build Your Support System:** Seek out friends, community groups, or coaches who encourage your growth.

What happens when you combine pleasure with a sugar detox???

10 days of clean eating that feels amazing.

We're talking...

...Delicious, yet easy, sugar-free recipes

...Juicy detox yoga classes and practices

...Luxurious ancient self-care rituals

The Sugar Detox combines Ayurvedic detox practices with mindset work for a complete body-mind approach to feeling lighter and brighter.

After 10 days, you can say goodbye to bloating, heaviness and exhaustion and hello to glowing skin, a flatter belly and a spring in your step. 💃🏻

You'll learn how to generate thriving health, not by depriving yourself of pleasure, but by using pleasure as the process.

The pleasure of discipline and self-trust over justification and excuse-making.

The pleasure of seeing progress towards your health goals, vs stagnation and back-sliding.

The pleasure of feeling better in your body, more comfortable in your skin, and more confident in your clothes vs bloated, inflamed and sluggish.

You have no idea how amazing you can feel in just 10 short days... you won't want the feeling to end.

And you don't have to because you'll have:

✅ Recipes you'll want to keep on making,

✅ Daily rituals you'll want to keep on doing,

✅ And a leaner, lighter, more energized body you'll want to keep having.

The 10th tenet of The Pleasure Project Program is Enriching Relationships.

Of all the factors that lead to increased happiness, relationships are #1. The quality of our relationships is the biggest contributor to the quality of our lives. In  The Pleasure Project Program, you will learn how to create amazing relationships by taking responsibility for your own happiness, coming to the relationship whole and complete, by fueling your relationships with unconditional love and by creating healthy boundaries.

The 9th tenet of The Pleasure Project Program is Trust, Ease and Intuition.

Over the last 6 years I've been very interested in figuring out how to hone my intuition. Ayurveda taught me the importance of inner listening and how to read my body like a book. It taught me to hear my body's signals and all the ways by body is communicating to me. Most of us were not taught this and instead, we’ve been socialized to behave and do what the expert says and memorize the “right” answers. We’re taught there’s a right way to do things and we will get in trouble if we fail or make mistakes. All this programming ultimately takes us away from being our own authority and trust that we know what’s best for our lives and our bodies.

This tenet is about letting go of the cultural expectations, the “shoulds” and the idea that there’s a right way. It's about embracing the truth that your way is what’s right for you. You will be guided back to yourself to access your own wisdom and answer your own questions.

You will experience more ease, worthiness, wholeness and inner abundance and harmony. The more connected you are to your intuition, the more aligned you are to your truth. In The Pleasure Project Program you will gain tangible tools and practices to hone that connection.

The 8th tenet of The Pleasure Project Program is Joy in the Journey.

This is about learning to slow down, have more fun, be more present. It's about letting go of pressure, stress, rushing, and unrealistic expectations that get in the way of enjoying the process towards our goals. It's about feeling the way you want to feel NOW instead of waiting for some circumstance before you can give yourself permission to think and feel successful, desired, attractive, accomplished, and proud. It’s about seeing it all as an adventure, a game where you get to laugh and play.

The 8th tenet of The Pleasure Project Program is Courageous Aligned Action.

You've heard the quote: Challenge happens outside of your comfort zone. That's what this tenet is all about: building the confidence, resiliance, and courage to take bold actions towards your dreams and desires. You'll learn how to regulate your nervous system, create safety and have your own back as you commit to the to the growth you want for yourself. It’s about going all in on what will take your life to the next level and creating your own pleasure project that facilitates how you want to grow next. In The Pleasure Project Program you will have the support, accountability and guidance to show up courageously in service of your dharma, learn to overcome your fear and failure and create unshakeable self-confidence. Because what scares us the most is not taking bold, courageous action towards our dreams and goals, it's about regretting not having played all out and left it all. Embracing the challenge isn’t hard. Living out of integrity with your dreams and desires is the hardest thing of all.

The 6th tenet of The Pleasure Project Program is Environmental Architecture.

Your environment is one of the best things to leverage when you want to make a change. It consists of 3 things: 1) the people you surround yourself with 2) your physical surroundings, and 3) your input - what you’re taking in through your 5 senses: what you're listening to, reading, watching, wearing, touching.

There are 3 ways you can use your environment to support you: 1) to help you feel the way you want to feel 2) to trigger certain behaviors so you don’t need to use willpower 3) to reprogram your mind and remind you of who you’re becoming and to change your self-concept

In this episode I take you through an assessment of your environment to see if your space is helping or hindering your growth and goals.

The 5th tenet is Identity Evolution, the key ingredient for creating permanent change in your life.

James Clear, author of Atomic Habits said: "Your current behaviors are simply a reflection of your current identity. What you do now is a reflection of the type of person that you believe that you are (either consciously or subconsciously). To change your behavior for good, you need to start believing new things about yourself.”

Throughout history, people have used alter egos and identity evolution to BECOME the person who can achieve their goals. Because if you want to change your life, you have to change your self-image first.

In the Pleasure Project Program, you’ll learn my process for becoming your future self. I combine self-hypnosis, visualization, specific journal exercises, environmental design and courageous action to embody the person you want to become so you can change anything you want about yourself.

You stop limiting yourself based on who you’ve been in the past and get better at future thinking to create your desired reality.

The second tenet of the Pleasure Project Process is Mindset Mastery. It has 4 parts:

1. Increase your self-awareness and mindfulness of your thoughts and feelings so you're less reactive to them.

2. Clarity of the difference between facts, thoughts, emotions and how you're creating your results.

3. Deal with uncomfortable emotions in a healthy way and change your relationship to emotional discomfort (so your life is not run by your emotions).

4. Rewire your subconscious programs, change your beliefs to achieve your goals, and generate the feelings to take action and stop procrastinating.

How do you tap into your power to create anything you want?

The Buddha said, 'What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.'

At the beginning of the year, one of the goals I set was to grow my public speaking career but I wasn’t sure how. Whenever I thought about finding bigger speaking opportunities or speaking on a larger scale, I felt stuck. So I enrolled in a public speaking program to get the guidance and support I needed. My goal was to get my first paid speaking gig. 

Another thing that I’ve been struggling with for many years is hitting a glass ceiling in my business. I wanted to figure out how to bust through it and get to the next level.

Finally, I’ve wanted to be more connected to my intuition for many years now, and I wanted to develop my self-trust and be more tuned in to my inner guidance system.

So, alongside my Pleasure Project Program students (click here to get on the waitlist), I created an 80-day project to help me tap into my power to raise my upper limit, achieve my public speaking goal, and strengthen my intuition.

In this episode, I share what worked, and what didn't, the lessons I learned and the results from my latest 80-day experiment.

I'm diving into the 10 tenets of creating a pleasurable life and the first ingredient is Knowing Thyself.

I've created 6 steps to take you through the process of finding more clarity, purpose and direction.

1. Codify Your Core Values

2. Find Your Why

3. Own Your Story

4. Choose Your Purpose

5. Clarify Your Vision

6. Set Specific Goals

When you go through these 6 steps of knowing thyself, you have clarity and a guidance system with which to revolve your life around. You know who you are and where you’re going. You start living the life you want, not the one that's expected of you. You feel on purpose, aligned and in integrity with who you really are.

The #1 reason you are not doing the thing you've been thinking about and talking about is because you haven't made the clear decision to commit. Decide comes from the Latin word decidere — which means "to cut or kill off". When you make a decision you cut yourself off from all other options. You draw a line in the sand that says, "I'm doing this". Before that point, it's all too easy to delay, procrasination and find perfectly good excuses why you can't do the thing. The problem is all those open loops are a slow drain on your energy. But once you commit, it's actually relatively easy to show up and make it happen.

What decision are you waiting to make? What are you ready to commit to? If you need help, reach out to me on Instagram!

I'm so excited for my upcoming trip to Texas for my sister's wedding. I've been allowing myself to enjoy that delicious feeling of looking forward to something. There's so much pleasure in anticipation, often more than the event itself. Sometimes we don't fully take advantage of the joy of thinking about something that we're moving towards but miss the opportunity for so much enjoyment in the moment.

Anticipation is a feeling we can use in goal setting and manifestation. When we decide to go on a trip and get the ticket, we know it's as good as done and start enjoying the vacation ahead of time - simply by thinking about it. We "assume the feeling of our wish fulfilled". This emotion magnetizes what we want towards it. 

Give yourself permission to enjoy the destination before you get there - whether that's a trip or a goal. Savor those feel-good emotions now.

If right now is enough, and if it's not better once we acheive our goals, what's the point of setting goals at all?

In this episode I share why goal setting is a spiritual practice and a path to growth and living our purpose.

The paradox is being able to set goals while silultaneously being unattached to them. This is why it's essential to enjoy the projess and find joy in the journey.

If you want help achieving your goals, reach out to me on Instagram. I'd love to chat.

On of the things I'm working on is embracing the paradox of going after goals WHILE letting go of my attachment to the outcome. This has been personally very challenging and recently I made a breakthrough during one of my coaching sessions when I posed these 3 questions to myself:

1) What will be different when I achieve the goal?

2) What will be exactly the same?

3) Why is what I have now not enough?

If you're also an ambitious, driven, goal-oriented person, take some time to journal these questions and see what you uncover!

Today I'm getting on my soapbox to talk about quitting. It breaks my heart when people decide to give up on thier dreams because of past failures. They think because they haven't acheived something yet, it's not possible for them. They make their failed attempts mean that it wasn't meant to be, or they aren't capable. Your past has no bearing on your future, unless you let it. When you create an identity and stories around why you're not there yet, you keep proving it true. I believe that your desires are meant for you. If you can see it, you can achieve it. So give yourself permission to believe. Trust that it is yours. It's not a matter of it, but when. Let go of the timeline and keep going.

As humans we're hardwired to seek approval, be liked and avoid rejection. Unfortunately that sometimes leads to people-pleasing and not showing up as our ourselves. We overly try to manage ourselves to try to control other people's thoughts and feelings towards us. The problem is that rarely works (and isn't a good use of our efforts - we can barely manage our OWN thoughts and feelings!).

In this episode I share a few simple shifts to help you show up in relationships in a way that feels good. These tiny tweaks will allow you to create better relationships with more authentic connection and real intimacy - which is what we all want.

My favorite question to ask my clients when they're going through a challenging situation or if they are working through trauma of the past is: "How did this happen FOR you?". 

The way we can find joy in our suffering is through creating meaning. You can change the past by re-writing the story in a way that empowers you. The only way the past affects you in this moment is in how you choose to think about it. Make it a practice to look for the good and mine the lessons learned so you will grow from challenging events of the past. Make your brain look for ways you're better because of it, not in spite of it.

How much of your brain space is spent in the past? What you focus on expands and what you think about, you bring about.

In this episode, we explored the concept of cultivating unconditional confidence, which is essential for success and personal growth. We discussed practical strategies to boost confidence, such as using power poses and focusing on posture, as well as how our clothing choices and environment can impact our self-assurance. We also delved into cognitive confidence, addressing limiting beliefs and changing negative thought patterns to enhance confidence levels. By incorporating these tools and practices into our lives, we can cultivate a strong and resilient sense of self-assurance that empowers us to reach our full potential. Remember, confidence is a key factor in shaping our experiences and creating a fulfilling reality.

The process of change is about practicing a new way of thinking, feeling and acting.

The pleasure project is a practice of deprogramming my old self and reprogramming a new self.
