Hello Worthy Warriors, and welcome back to the podcast. This week is full of duality for me, after a successful speaking event last week, I felt so confident and proud on stage. However I’m struggling with grief after losing Soso 12 weeks ago.

Grief is not linear, and it’s important to trust your body, as well as the healing processes. In this episode I share a heartfelt journal entry about feeling broken but finding strength and depth in love and loss.

In light of this, I have plans to rebrand the podcast, focusing on themes of bravery, courage, and doing things despite fear. The lessons that grief can teach us are right there.

Hello Worthy Warriors, and welcome back to the podcast. It’s our last 3 weeks in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico! I will be giving a speech and creating a speaker reel in the remaining time we have here in San Miguel. It’s taken a ton of bravery to keep pushing this forward, but I have learned some lessons throughout the process of preparing for these events.

First, the importance of self-trust, and pushing oneself outside of one's comfort zone. Confronting fears and doubts, recognizing irrational thoughts, offering self-compassion, and understanding that bravery is momentary. Creating opportunities for yourself, don’t wait for them, embrace imperfection and keep an open channel for your unique expression.

Hello Worthy Warriors, and welcome back to the podcast. Hello again from the very warm San Miguel, Mexico. I have had multiple bouts of food poisoning while here, but I’m really excited about a couple of upcoming speaking events in local theaters. I’ve struggled with public speaking in the past, but I’ve learned to cope with it over the years.

Today I want to talk adopting a new outlook on life, I was inspired by a client's experience of awe and gratitude during an eclipse. The idea of recognizing that we already has everything we want and need, and I encourage you to challenge the notion that constantly wanting more is necessary or beneficial.

Hello Worthy Warriors, and welcome back to the podcast, and hello again from San Miguel, Mexico! This week I would love to talk about being kind when setting boundaries or making disruptive change, kind to both yourself and others.

When Robbie and I decided to elope we had a lot of pushback from family members. The biggest lesson we took for it was to communicate honestly but with kindness. It’s important to accept people for who they are, and prioritize one's own well-being without resentment. I encourage you to reflect on why they want others to change and to take responsibility for your disappointment when they aren’t able to, or unwilling.

Hello Worthy Warriors, and welcome back to the podcast! Before we jump into this weeks topic, we are looking for a home for out foster dog Rosa. She’s the sweetest girl, who loves other dogs, and people so much. She would make a wonderful companion. SO if you know of someone who might be interested in adopting Rosa, please send them my information. I can’t wait to see her go to a kind and loving home.

This week, let’s chat about the concept of consistency. I have a story, and acknowledge that I struggle with being consistent, particularly on social media. The story says that because of social media inconsistency I can’t get to the next level of success. I see those I follow and look up share their lives, and view them as being consistent. However, I realize they are consistent in the perfection, not in be open and vulnerable about their life.

I encourage you to question your own perceptions of consistency and to align it with your values and desired life. I value the vulnerability, authenticity, and not resisting life's flow over the consistency. If you could use a community to discuss topics like this, or vent to, I encourage you to join Doing it Scared, a low-cost membership program and find your supportive community.

Hello Worthy Warriors! Welcome back to the Worthiness Mindset Podcast! This week I would love to share with you all that I am feeling stuck. We have 2 months left in Mexico, and have been trying to decide what to do next after living in Mexico for 4 months. This feeling is being fed by decision fatigue, grief, expectations not matching reality, fear, doubt and of course, the noise in my head.

If you’re feeling the same way please remember self-compassion and allowing yourself to acknowledge the thoughts without making yourself wrong is crucial in these phases of life. Some techniques I teach and use for myself to start moving forward include following your sparks of joy, taking small actions aligned with what excites you, and trusting the process. In honor of taking small action I have finally created a speaking tour, something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time. I encourage you to to reach out and let me know if you would like me to speak in your city or if you know of event planners to connect me with.

Hello Worthy Warriors! Happy Thursday, and welcome back from San Miguel, Mexico! Our time here is coming to quick close, and we have been thinking about what comes next. Our options are endless, and yet we have to be wary of overwhelm. Remember, the grass isn’t greener, there are just different weeds.

Last week I was teaching a workshop for International Women’s Day, and I wanted to highlight famous role models. I realized that they all felt self-doubt, yet focused on of trying and failing instead of perfection. In turn they leaned into fear and rejection and inspired others (like you and I) by showing up authentically.

Maya Angelou, one of the most decorated and prolific writers of our time, had immense doubt in her craft, and yet we admire people more for their courage through failures than their outcomes.

Fear and rejection mean we are being courageous.

Hello Worthy Warriors! Welcome back to our regularly scheduled programming at the Worthiness Mindset Podcast! I am back from a short hiatus, and am so happy to be recording again. I took a break to focus on grieving and self-care, because I’ve struggled with the loss of Soso, the euthanization of shelter dogs, and my foster dog's cancer diagnosis, rental issues, illness, and food poisoning.

Despite feeling scared I’ve decided to meet myself with exceptional grace, compassion and kindness during the challenges. This allowed me to build deeper connections with friends and family. I’ve realized that I can feel not okay and still be brave by authentically showing up. Brave means choosing how to meet oneself and reveal hidden struggles, not specific outcomes.

I hope this message helps you feel more comfortable sharing your hidden struggles that can lead to deeper relationships and greater impact.

Hello Worthy Warriors! Welcome back to the Worthiness Mindset Podcast! This week, we have replay of an episode with Nikki Bannister, Nikki talks about dropping the ball or falling short in her world. She highlights failures that impact others, and how she navigates letting someone else down. She also shares how she’s allowed failure to not shake her to her core. 

With this series I'll be interviewing people who have experienced failure, and found ways to love themselves anyway. Included will be a profound movement to write ourselves a love letter. This project has been on hold through some of my failure, and now I'll be compiling a book of love letters from people loving themselves through the unsuccessful. 

Hello Worthy Warriors, and happy Thursday. On the pod this week, we have replay of an episode with my good friend, Rose! Rose goes into detail about where she has failed, and how she's loved herself through it all! She shares how important it is to accept that you are going to be a failure, but finding a way to be empowered through the failure really changes the game. 

With this series I'll be interviewing people who have experienced failure, and found ways to love themselves anyway. Included will be a profound movement to write ourselves a love letter. This project has been on hold through some of my failure, and now I'll be compiling a book of love letters from people loving themselves through the unsuccessful. 

Hello Worthy Warriors, happy Thursday. We’re going to change gears for a bit here, and share a series replay from 2021 about Failure & Self love. This series creates space to talk about and normalize failure, and finding self-love through it all. Failure is the greatest catalyst to learning how to love ourselves and to not define our worth through our achievements and accomplishments.

Hello Worthy Warriors, happy Thursday. It has been a difficult week here. For those of you who don’t follow me elsewhere, my soulmate Soso passed away last week. As devastating as it is, I realize that the grief is only a testament to how much I loved her, and is a part of fully experiencing life. When we’re able to see our own bravery and unreasonable joy demonstrated it’s only a lighthouse for bringing our awareness back to that space when it’s needed. Soso's incredibly adventurous life over 9 years spanning 4 countries and 35 states, despite the trauma she’d experienced, just shows her persistence, flexibility, and lack of fear. Soso was an inspiration to everyone who met her and spent time with her.

I want to call on my listeners to reflect on their bravery, be unreasonable in pursuing passions without fear or limits, and donate to an animal shelter in Soso's memory. I am looking to raise $300 to save a dog's life. I volunteer at a high-kill shelter here in Mexico with Yo Amo Animalitos (on FB) and it costs about $300 to save a dog's life. The dog I am looking to save is name Frida. She is about 2.5 years old, and just had puppies. One died and one is being sent to Colorado to a sanctuary. For two weeks, she wouldn't come out of her cage, she was abused and frightened. She's been in there about 4 weeks (2 weeks longer than they normally allow them to live). She has come out of her shell, wants belly rubs, and to be next to you. She is sweet & kind and we are looking to foster her until we find her forever home. I'm using this workshop as a way to fundraise. Donate and sign up here.

If you donate, I will send you updates on Frida and the ways you can help the other dogs in the shelter. 

Hello Worthy Warriors! This week we’ll continue on the series to create a Brave & Unreasonable Life. This episode builds on part one about dreaming without attachment by focusing on building self-concept and self-trust as crucial foundations before taking action. I will walk you through a 4-step system to build trust in yourself. The process includes examining past evidence of follow-through, making small daily commitments, seeing accomplishments created, and noticing what is already desired.

When we cultivate a hypothetical 'what if it were possible' self-concept to reinforce that big dreams can happen, and remove our limiting beliefs. If this series is helpful for you, I will be holding a workshop on creating a brave life at a low cost. If you’re interested, fill out the form here.

My friend Autumn is trying to sell 1000 books this month, and, as a guest of the podcast, I think you would love it. Buy Autumn’s book here!

Hello Worthy Warriors! Happy Thursday! I’m passionate about speaking to others about how to live a brave and unreasonable life, and so I thought we would start a little series. This is my way of life. And part of that is by doing it scared, right? If you wanna live a brave and unreasonable life, you have to start by doing it scared.

The key to living this kind of life is taking steps to feel safe in your body. This alone will allow you to dream without limits or logic. By visualizing your desired outcomes, calming your nervous system, identifying the feelings behind your dreams, and being willing to pivot if needed you’re setting the stage for a healed and unimaginable future.

Hello Worthy Warriors! Happy Thursday! We are spoiled with guests lately, and my friend Autumn Freed is no exception. Autumn recently started her own business as a book writing coach, but she’s more like a life coach and writing coach all rolled into 1. Autumn loves helping people figure out how to write their story or tell a story, but more than anything, to help people feel fulfilled in their lives. She knows all too well how it feels to not even know what you like anymore. Her favorite part is helping women decide what they want, and then watching them make it happen.

In this week’s conversation, we’ll discuss common reasons people don't write books, strategies to push past blocks, the importance of focusing on reader value versus original ideas, and how Autumn overcame her resistance by borrowing others' belief in her abilities. Autumn outlines her coaching services and emphasizes that everyone has a unique story worth sharing that could help others.

Hello Worthy Warriors! Happy Thursday! We have a very special guest on the podcast, my friend Maggie Leon-Guerrero is here! For 34 years, Maggie has been bringing joy to the world around her. It wasn’t until three years ago though, that knowing she was made for more, she started to strip away all the people-pleasing layers by showing up with intention in her life.

That intention led her to become a life coach and online course creator - her first course, The ME-ple Pleasing Pattern, launches this month. Through her 1:1 coaching and online course, Maggie helps you choose yourself over people-pleasing so that you can unlock a level of joy that you've never tapped into before.

It's through that very joy that she founded The Joy Table, a dinner party experience, in Cincinnati, OH, designed to connect women to and through their joy. She had a dream of a space where women connect through friendship, joy, and their dreams, instead of pain, gossip, and judgment. And then... she brought it to life and you're invited to it all.

Hello Worthy Warriors! Happy Thursday from Jillie, and Rosa, the best foster dog in the world! If you’re interested in being her forever home, contact me! :)

With spending time at the shelter, I’ve had to dedicate space to journalling, and feeling through my emotions with somatic exercise. Through that, I’ve thought a lot about my comfort in the 'lead from the front' style. I have previously grown the most out of leadership when all eyes are on me, however, I recognize that my current phase is asking me to develop more supportive 'lead from behind' roles.

In this episode, we’ll look at all three compassionate leadership styles and reflect on why I think leaders should cultivate the ability to fill all these roles.

Hello Worthy Warriors! Happy Thursday & Happy New Year!! In this first episode of 2024, I want to focus on embracing self-worth and releasing unhealthy attachments to goals and control.

2023 was an unpredictable year and I encourage you to seek self-trust instead of annual planning. In our society, it’s difficult to release goal-based self-judgment, but there’s something powerful about leaving it behind, at least for this year. I’ve found that the resolutions and planning that go along with this time of year often bring me to question our desire for control. The thing is, I believe in opening ourselves up to life's uncertainty and magic and committing to feel it all.

Hello Worthy Warriors! Happy Thursday! This week we have a replay of the most listened-to episode of 2023, and it’s special! My good friend Autumn is joining us, and Autumn Lynne is a book writing coach and author. She helps women who’ve realized that something isn’t working anymore but don’t know where to start making a change.

Back in 2014, her proverbial carton of eggs had dropped and splattered all over the floor. Autumn didn’t know who she was, didn’t know what she wanted, and didn’t have a clue what to do next. Listen for a dose of inspiration for 2024.

She applied what became the Fresh Start Formula to herself. One decision at a time, Autumn became a woman who prioritizes herself, who makes time for the things she enjoys, and who knows what she wants her life to look like.

In Autumn's book, “How Do You Like Your Eggs?” she takes you through her Formula and helps you create your very own Fresh Start, one decision at a time. You can find more about Autumn here on her website, and purchase her book here.

Hello Worthy Warriors! Happy Thursday before Christmas! If you don’t celebrate, happy holidays!

In continuing with our Holiday Handbook series, let’s work through strategies for caring less about what other people think during holiday gatherings and family events. Start by setting boundaries, backing away from conversations you don’t feel comfortable with, giving less weight to opinions from 'couch potato quarterbacks', only valuing input from those with lives you admire, protecting your inner peace, and not needing to prove yourself.
