Forgive and Evaluate

Forgive and Evaluate Most of the time when we think of forgiveness, we think about other people. But this applies directly to you. Forgiveness is stopping feeling angry or resentful toward yourself for something that happened. When you don’t forgive yourself, you stay in that resentment. And that makes it harder to move forward. The truth is, you will make mistakes. You will have flaws. That’s part of being human. So instead of using those moments to judge yourself, you can use them as data...

Working Hard or Wearing Yourself Out

Working Hard or Wearing Yourself Out How many things are you trying to do at one time? The question is WHY? You’re like a battery. You have the energy, not your goals. So if you’re trying to fuel too many things, you will wear out and not power what you really want. Women love working hard, but that can turn into multitasking, saying yes to everything, jumping into things from FOMO, and setting expectations that aren’t realistic. Then we beat ourselves up for not keeping up. No wonder you f...

The Core of Insecurity

The Core of Insecurity When you look up insecurity, it says uncertainty or anxiety about oneself; lack of confidence. A lot of times we think insecurity comes from our past, something we did, or something someone said. It can feel like it’s just who we are. But it’s not. Confidence and insecurity are emotions. They are not personality traits. You are not an insecure person. You are a woman who sometimes feels insecure and sometimes feels confident. At the core of both are the thoughts you’r...

Permission to Celebrate

Permission to Celebrate Today we are talking about something that gets overlooked. We wait to do it. We don’t let ourselves do it. And sometimes we feel guilty when we do it. Celebrate. There is so much every day that we can enjoy and celebrate, but the weight of suffering around us can feel heavy. For a long time, I felt guilty for being healthy while my sister was sick. Then after she passed, that turned into feeling selfish for being alive. I would hold myself back from enjoying things be...

Behind ‘I don’t know’

Behind ‘I don’t know’ There’s something our brain does when it doesn’t want to work for us: I don’t know. It feels super true, and it usually feels like the answer. But it’s not. It’s usually a signal that something valuable is behind it and needs to be explored. When our brain offers up “I don’t know,” we often stop right there. We drop what we were thinking about, distract ourselves, or move on like that was the final answer. It’s busted. “I don’t know” is not the answer. It’s the signal...

What is Your Motivator

What is Your Motivator? The difference between the emotion that motivates you and the one your brain uses thinking it’s motivating you. This is going to be fun. What does motivated feel like? Powerful, certain, grounded, calm, excited, driven, committed, contentment. When you feel those, you’re clear. You know what you’re doing. You’re not forcing yourself. But our brain can link other emotions as motivators—and they’re not. For me, it was disappointment. I thought I had to wait to be prou...

Good Enough is Busted

Good Enough is Busted Women with incredible talent, creativity, drive, and uniqueness hold themselves back because of one sentence: I’m not good enough. Let’s bust that right now—it’s not true. When you think you’re not good enough, it feels important. Your brain gets ultra focused on it, but it creates zero change. It just repeats. And when we use “good enough” for anything else, it’s a settle. It’s like… ehhh. You know you don’t really want it. So why are we using that to define ourselves...

Choose Powerful Thoughts

Choose Powerful Thoughts In this episode of the Hello Lovely Podcast, we talk about how to feel powerful more often. There are two parts to this: Choose powerful thoughts Soak in the goodness As humans, our focus often goes to what’s not working and why we’re not good enough. Our brain is very good at coming up with those thoughts. This episode is about resetting that on purpose. Feeling powerful is not about your circumstances. It comes from what you’re thinking. When you feel powerful, y...

Give Your Brain a Break

Give Your Brain a Break In this episode of the Hello Lovely Podcast, we talk about giving your brain a break. We are exposed to a lot of information every day. There are things to do, people to respond to, things to read, watch, and figure out. It can feel like your brain is constantly processing. Have you ever given yourself time to just think? When you don’t take time to look at what you’re thinking, it can feel like your head is packed with information. This often shows up as feeling over...

Contenment

Contentment In this episode of the Hello Lovely Podcast, we talk about contentment and how it connects to your goals. A lot of women want to feel content, but they worry that if they feel content now, it will slow them down. Like if they’re happy where they are, why try? What actually happens is the opposite. When you feel content, you are clearer on what you want and how you want to move forward. Let’s look at the opposite of contentment — feeling stuck and in a hurry. That hurry comes fr...

Authentic Relationships

Authentic Relationships In this episode of the Hello Lovely Podcast, we talk about authentic relationships. Authentic relationships are simple. They come from you. When you are focused on trying to get someone to like you, it actually creates distance instead of connection. It adds pressure. It takes away the ease that real relationships have. Authentic relationships don’t come from people pleasing. They come from being yourself and allowing other people to do the same. There’s also a belie...

Emotional Triggers

Emotional Triggers In this episode of the Hello Lovely Podcast, we talk about emotional triggers and how to use them. Triggers are a pretty common phrase, but what are they really? An emotional trigger is any topic that makes you feel uncomfortable. These triggers can show you where you may feel frustrated or unsatisfied in your life. Instead of avoiding triggers, you can use them as a tool. When something bothers you, it’s not random. It’s pointing to something you’re thinking or feeling. ...

Response Ability

Response Ability In this episode of the Hello Lovely Podcast, we talk about response ability — your ability to respond. When we hear the phrase “take responsibility,” it can feel heavy. It can sound like a burden, something we don’t want to look at. It can make us feel defensive or shut down. That’s because one definition of responsibility is “a burden of obligation.” When we think of it that way, it feels negative. It feels like pressure, and it keeps us stuck. But when you look at it diffe...

What is a Life Coach?

Life coaching has been around for a long time, and it’s becoming more popular. A common question is: what is a life coach? A life coach helps you reach a specific result you want to create.

How to Process Fear

In this episode of the Hello Lovely Podcast, we talk about fear — what it is, where it comes from, and how to process it. Fear is often something we try to avoid. We don’t want to feel it, we don’t want to look at it, and sometimes we even try to change our circumstances just to make it go away. But fear is not something that needs to be avoided. Fear is an emotion created by what you’re thinking. It makes sense it’s there. When you feel fear, it’s not coming from the situation itself. It’s c...

View Your Goals as Done

View Your Goals as Done In this episode of the Hello Lovely Podcast, we talk about a simple shift that can completely change how you experience your goals. Many people set goals and then spend time wondering if they will actually happen. That question — “Is this going to work?” — often goes unanswered. When that happens, your brain stays focused on doubt, which can lead to feeling stuck or wanting to stop altogether. In this episode, we look at a different approach: viewing your goals as done...

How to Be All In

How to Be All In In this episode of the Hello Lovely Podcast, we talk about what it really means to be all in on a plan and why so many people stop before they see the results they want. There is an incredible amount of information available today about how to improve your life, reach goals, or change habits. Because of that, it’s easy to move from one plan to another, especially when results don’t appear right away. Many people start a new plan feeling excited and hopeful. At the beginning, ...

Make a Schedule You Enjoy

Make a Schedule You Enjoy In this episode of the Hello Lovely Podcast, we talk about how to create a schedule you actually enjoy following. Many people think of a schedule as something restrictive — a list of obligations you have to stick to. It can feel like something that removes flexibility or forces you to do things you may not feel like doing in the moment. Because of that, schedules often become something people resist. In this episode, we look at a different way to think about scheduli...

Your Body Image

Your Body Image In this episode of the Hello Lovely Podcast, we talk about body image and how it is shaped by the relationship you have with yourself. Body image is often thought of as something connected to appearance or physical shape, but the real source of body image is your thoughts. It’s the mental picture you have of your own body. That means the way you see your body is influenced by the way you think about yourself. Many women describe their bodies through criticism — pointing out we...

Confidence in Yourself

In this episode of the Hello Lovely Podcast, we talk about confidence in yourself and why it can feel complicated for many women. When you hear the phrase confidence in yourself, two reactions often come up. On one hand, it sounds wonderful — it would be great to feel confident. On the other hand, many women worry that believing in themselves might make them arrogant, selfish, or disconnected from others. That tension is very common, and this episode clears up that misunderstanding. Confidence...

Confidence in Your Priorities

Confidence in Your Priorities In this episode of the Hello Lovely Podcast, I celebrate a big milestone — officially being employed by myself. After about two years of building my business, learning, failing, getting back up, and staying consistent, I’ve reached a point where this work is my full-time focus. It hasn’t been easy, but it has been incredibly rewarding, and there’s a lot to celebrate. That milestone leads perfectly into today’s topic: priorities and why having clarity around them c...

What is Confidence?

What is Confidence? In this episode of the Hello Lovely Podcast, I talk about what confidence actually is and how it’s created. I share a personal story about recently joining a business mastermind with a group of talented and hardworking women. My business is growing, and I could see the momentum building. I didn’t want to be in a position where I was trying to catch up with that growth later, so I made the decision to invest in my business and in myself now. Getting into the mastermind didn...

Keep it Simple, Not Easy

Keep It Simple, Not Easy In this episode of the Hello Lovely Podcast, I talk about the difference between trying to make life easy and learning how to keep things simple. This topic came out of a very hard season in my life after losing my brother and sister a few years apart. During that time, I felt overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, and stuck. Because everything felt so heavy, I thought the best plan was to make everything as easy as possible. That sounded like the right solution. But what I...
