Everyday Strong Radio

All good things must come to an end. This podcast has been such a wonderful experience for me, but it’s about time I start taking some of my own advice and close this loop. As I reflect on my time recording these episodes, I realize that I learned and benefitted from the advice I gave just as much as my listeners. Sometimes the coach a coach needs is herself! Thank you for growing with me and for your support. And keep on using your Everyday Strong!

Not all of my clients come into coaching convinced it will work. In this episode, my client even tells me what she REALLY thought of our first session! Episode 94 Client Spotlight: Patricia Bradford showcases just how effective coaching has been for her and what knowledge she will be using throughout her life. Not only has she been able to implement mindset training, but she has also been enjoying a new practice I’ve been training to be a coach in.

Has anyone else been having issue after issue come up the last few weeks? Whether it’s Mercury in retrograde or just a week that will not give you a break, we all need tools to help us get through the tough times. Slowing down to speed up is a way to step back from the problem long enough to detach ourselves from the thoughts that are holding us back or keeping us frantic. Join me on this week’s episode to figure out how to put Slowing Down to Speed Up into practice in your life.

What can we do when we are using all the tips and tricks at our disposal, and we still run into a situation that has us feeling defeated and small? You can do all the thought downloads you want and follow the thought model perfectly, but still end up with thoughts that negatively affect our results. Episode 92 is all about How to Coach Yourself from a Place of Love. Join me this week to hear some ideas on how to coach yourself with compassion.

Every few weeks, I like to do a Client Spotlight to showcase a client who has really applied the concepts they learned from coaching. In Episode 91, I sit down with one of my longest standing clients, Tracy Mikol. Like many go-getters, Tracy lived solidly in the “A” Line. She went from always questioning what to DO, to concentrating on what thoughts and questions are useful to her, closing loops, getting clear, and making decisions ahead of time. Sound familiar?

Getting clear is all about asking the right questions. In episode 90, I offer you my list of useful thoughts and questions to ask yourself to get clarity and plan for your future. You may recognize a few of them from previous episodes, but you’ve come so far since  you first started listening and the list was worth updating!

Do you know what it’s like to love yourself unconditionally? Carola Fuertes, my guest for Episode 89, is dedicated to helping her clients expand their capacity for love and cultivate skills to help them create love on demand in their lives. Join me as we delve into how Carola’s coaching has helped me personally with my latest passion project, and how her desire to create more opportunities to uplevel self love has developed into her own passion project too!

I've said it once (or several times) and I'll say it again. Words matter!  In Episode 88, I tackle the difference between Judgement and Discernment. These concepts arise in coaching quite often, and their differences may seem very subtle, but the impact of utilizing discernment versus judgement can be huge. Listen along to see if you can discern how discernment has more value and usefulness in your life than judgement.

For Episode 87, I want to focus on closing loops. Do you often find yourself waiting on input from other people to make a decision?  Many of us do this so we can gain as much information as possible and get outside perspectives.  But at a certain point, it slows us down and can leave us feeling stuck without that outside input or paralyzed by the amount of information. Closing loops is about losing the weight of carrying around unmade decisions to be your own best advocate.

This week’s episode is a client spotlight. Ellen Mitchell shares her journey through coaching and retiring a whole 4 years early! Ellen now has the freedom to do the work she loves and give to those around her in meaningful ways. She started by investing in and showing up for herself. The ripple effect of those shifts in perspective are just beginning. Her journey is a perfect example of how clarity on what you actually want and trusting yourself will make all the difference in achieving your goals.
