O.M.G.

I’ve been feeling frenetic recently and it's been driving me bonkers! I start one thing and I can't get it done and then I start the next thing and I can't get it done and then I find myself hours later having gotten nothing done! Whenever I get into this space, it drives me wild because I start feeling bad about myself and know, through my work as a life coach, that I don't need to beat myself up about it. So then I can go further into the loop of feeling bad.

Truth is, though, there's actually something bigger at play vying for my attention that's even bigger than myself. Listen in as I share what that is and what you can do about it. It's time for an uprising, Beautiful! We get to have our time, attention, and sanity back!

I had this moment recently, while riding my bike, where I thought to myself, "Is this my life?"

Oh wait, that's the same person and our guest on today's episode, Yasmin Elhady. A pioneer Muslim Female Comedian, Yasmin is taking the comedy world by storm...literally! Listen to her fire and spark in this episode where she gets real about her passion for laughter but also for justice. Dynamic doesn't begin to describe this woman who came to the United States as a refugee, stood up to bullies, and continues to help people in their relationships and lives. And of course, tune in for lots of laughs!

Resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. 

How much of that poison have you been drinking? You're not going to change somebody else. What you can change is yourself.  Shift your perspective. Focus on the things that are important to you. It's time to stop dying slowly and let go of what is no longer serving you.

Forgiveness is the first step to do that and I share a SUPER simple and transformative exercise to do this. It doesn't require a lot of time or having to talk to anyone. This is for you to let go powerfully and move on to what really matters in your life!

What does it mean to be feminine? This is the age-old question. You might be thinking that it's girly dresses and pink everywhere, but oh gurl... it's all that and SO much more.

Tune in to this episode as I dive into the power of the feminine and how it is within you, Beautiful. How you get to begin living in this new paradigm in your life to unleash all of you that's been waiting within you. And there is nothing more powerful in this world than the Feminine.

Is the only option if you're not private to end up on the frontpage? Or is there something in the middle... What if you let go of privacy to create deeper connections by sharing your vulnerability?

We've been taught to keep things really private but at what point is it too much?

Tune in to hear why I make the case for sharing openly and moving away from keeping everything "private".

As somebody who was super private, I know the stifled feeling that can bring. However, letting go of the control, I found the more open I became, the greater impact I made, along with creating deeper connections. It really is in our openness that we find freedom.

And it's your turn to be on the frontpage of your life!
