274: Self-care is really just basecamp.
YOU are an incredibly unique human expression.
YOU are here to cause, contribute and inspire things in the world in a way that only you can.
And…
It is really freaking hard to be a fully expressed human doing the work she feels called to do in the world when you are living in a constant state of illness, reactivity, frustration, and self-doubt.

So, in this episode, I explore the basic measure that makes a massive impact on fortifying your chemistry, so you are in the best condition for whatever it is you decide to make this lifetime about.

I don’t know about you but, I don’t just want to live my life, I want to rock my life.

225: To Grit or to Quit
Psychologist Angela Duckworth defines Grit as “perseverance and passion for long-term goals”.
I am a big fan of the quality, which is why it is a part of my business name.
That being said, letting go of things that no longer serve you, is ALSO a very necessary part of self-development that we don’t talk enough about.
In this episode, I share some of my thoughts about knowing when to apply grit to your journey and knowing when to quit certain things along your journey.
I hope it helps you practice more grace AND grit.
