  • Handling Criticism in a Better Way

    Handling Criticism in a Better Way
    Oct 17 2024
    Ever feel like someone's words just cut too deep, or like you're on the edge of snapping back? In this episode, I dive into how to handle criticism—whether you're the one receiving it or tempted to dish it out. This week was a bit rough for me—like when I dropped my phone in the toilet! But I learned to laugh it off. We discuss why we shouldn't let negative comments bring us down, especially if they're coming from people whose lives we wouldn't want to trade with. I also share some useful advice: Ask yourself, is what they said really true, or are they just upset? Let’s figure out how to stay true to ourselves, even when people are being negative.

    Episode Highlights:
    [01:00] A Rough Start to the Week
    [03:00] How to Deal with Criticism
    [05:30] Keeping a Positive Perspective
    [08:00] Finding Your Own Truth

    Practicing Not Just Talking
    Oct 16 2024
    In this episode, I talk about why it's so important to practice what we say we believe, instead of just talking about it. I share a story from my recent golf trip, full of surprises, to explain why trusting your instincts is so valuable and how we can learn from both our successes and failures. I also ask an important question from Shana Nyquist's book Saber: Are there things in your life that you keep talking about but aren't really doing? Let’s find out how we can take real steps to practice and live the changes we want to see.

    Episode Highlights:

  • Reprogramming Your Mindset for Growth

    Reprogramming Your Mindset for Growth
    Oct 14 2024
    In this episode, I talk about how important it is to replace old, negative thoughts with new, positive habits. I was inspired by my amazing language arts teacher, Joyce Buttermore, who made a big impact on my life. I also share lessons from books like What to Say When You Talk to Yourself and ideas from Mel Robbins. The goal is to see life as an adventure and replace old habits that hold us back. Let’s learn how we can all grow and become the best versions of ourselves.

    Episode Highlights:
    [01:00] Remembering Joyce Buttermore
    [03:00] Changing Old Habits
    [05:00] Seeing Life as an Adventure
