496: Harness the Power of Surrender

496: Harness the Power of Surrender

Are you like me (and most people) in that you have strong attachments to things going the way you want them to go? Consider the areas in your life where you may be holding on too tightly and trying to control the outcome.  What would happen if, instead, you chose to surrender and trust the flow of life just a little more? Last week I mentioned that I was re-reading one of my favorite books, Michael A. Singer’s The Surrender Experiment. And I’ve noticed that I’ve been struggling to surrender lately, so I thought I’d share my journey of getting to a place of surrender with you today. You’ll learn why surrendering isn’t about sitting back and doing nothing. When we actively choose to surrender to the flow of life, we often find clarity, peace, and unexpected opportunities. This means there is less stress from trying to control everything and more joy from experiencing the genuine moments life offers. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s not about the events in life, it’s about how you interpret them. The power of looking at challenges as opportunities for growth. The key to unlocking our potential often lies in places we least expect. The tighter we hold, the more we lose. Dance with life's rhythm, don't dictate it. Why letting go leads to deeper connections.

One of my pet peeves is when brands market themselves as “100% healthy”, but they’re really not.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Why you don’t need a medical degree to discern which foods are good for you. Finding alternatives to the foods you love without all the harmful ingredients. Why inflammation is the greatest nemesis to your health. Why you’ll actually spend and eat less if you make the right food choices. The sneaky "healthy" foods you're likely having that cause inflammation. The common foods people eat daily that zap their energy levels. Why you should avoid omega-6, and what to use for cooking instead of oil. The deceptive marketing tactics companies use to get you to buy their products.

472: You Only Need to Change ONE Habit

472: You Only Need to Change ONE Habit

In the pursuit of becoming the best versions of ourselves, we often fall into the trap of trying to change several habits at once, hoping that’ll get us faster to the finish line. But let’s be real here, it rarely works out that way. The truth is, when we try to change too much at once, we end up feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. It’s like we’re trying to juggle many balls, and eventually, they all come crashing down. And then what? We revert back to our old ways, defeated and frustrated. But there’s a better way, and that’s what this episode is all about. You’ll learn why it’s better when you tackle only ONE habit at a time.  You’ll also learn how to gain clarity on which habit you should take a swing at first, the one that will make the biggest impact on your life, and my top strategy for making it easy to follow through on your habits each day.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Why the quality of your life is determined by the quality of your habits.

In fact, as you'll hear today, it was one of her bold social media posts that inspired me to reach out and invite her to be a guest on the podcast!  It takes tremendous courage to rise above that noise and own your voice, but it's crucial if you want to unleash your unique leadership abilities and make a significant impact on the world.  In our conversation, Ruby shares her powerful concept of Potent Leadership.

You'll discover why traditional notions of leadership are often flawed and learn what it takes to be a potent leader in today's world. KEY TAKEAWAYS How to foster unity in a culture that promotes division. Maintaining composure when facing online attacks. Authentic leadership starts from the heart, not from the ego.

470: The Consequence of Our Beliefs with Jay Scherr

470: The Consequence of Our Beliefs with Jay Scherr

Why are your beliefs so important? Because they determine your actions and ultimately your results.  I would argue that one of the simplest yet most profound statements ever made was by Henry Ford when he said, “Whether you think (believe) you can or you think (believe) you can’t, you’re right either way.”  When life is tough, staying positive and optimistic can seem impossible. But here's the thing - what we choose to believe has a massive impact on our outcomes in life. In today’s episode, I had the honor to be interviewed by the talented Jay Scherr. Jay has a knack for bringing out the best in his guests, and this conversation was no different.  We discussed how beliefs shape our realities and how to cultivate an unstoppable mindset even in the harshest circumstances. You’ll also learn how to challenge negative beliefs and replace them with empowering ones.  You’ll also hear me talk about my mom, how much of a rockstar she really is and the documentary that is in the works to show some love to the woman who means so much to me. Enjoy! KEY TAKEAWAYS The ONE belief that made me one of the top salespeople in Cutco Cutlery’s history.  We will find evidence to support whatever beliefs we have. Being aware of the dark side of extreme positivity. How pain and trauma can be our greatest teachers if we allow them. Progress is rarely a sudden leap but often the result of small steps taken daily. Recognizing that only you are responsible and have the power to create your reality.

You’ll learn the habits and routines that will not only help you write your manuscript but will also help you achieve all your other goals, no matter how difficult.
