Happy Monday Everyone!!! It's been 3 weeks since the last episode and I feel great about that! By minding my own business, I am focused on what will be good for my life in the long run.  Sometimes that means not making good on promises you've made in the past based on who YOU were at that time.  It's OK to change.  That's life... if we're doing it right :) Take it easy on yourself and have a wonderful and productive week!!!

Hello and Happy Monday, Doers! It's almost July and summer is here!  Hope you're enjoying and taking some time for yourself. How do you feel about Self Help and Personal Development?  Those were my favorite subjects when I was trying to find my path as a young adult.  Self Help and Personal Development books videos and podcasts can be great sources of inspiration and motivation when you need an extra boost.  Becoming dependent on these tools can make you lose focus on what's best for you as an individual, not the person selling you their ideas. Do you use Self Help tools for your growth? Do you follow a specific "guru"s teachings? Please share! I hope you have a great week! Sayda Please comment, like and subscribe. We're waiting for you!

Happy Monday Doers! Well, I'm back to work, but can't imagine not practicing my labors of love. Doing work on something that you've created just for fun or to explore an interest can be so good for your psyche. Pouring love into creative projects reminds you that you are so much more than what you do for work and can make you feel whole. Do you have a side hustle or a labor of love?  Does it help your self worth? Please share! I hope you have a fantastic week! Sayda Please comment, like and subscribe. We're waiting for you!

Hello Everyone! Hope you're having a wonderful Monday so far. In the last check-in I teased about doing a series on spirituality and how it helps us get through life. For me, spirituality is something I've been exploring for years since leaving the religious path I was brought up in, leading me to create my own way to connect with something larger than myself.  What space does spirituality take in your life? As Janis proposed, is it what you lean on when things get tough? Let's continue to explore this fertile subject and learn from each other. Thanks so much for joining us today. I hope you have a beautiful week! Sayda Please comment, like and subscribe. We're waiting for you!

Happy Monday Everyone!!! So happy to be here on the 30th episode of the For the Doers Podcast.   Thanks so much for listening! When I start to feel resistance in completing tasks that will get me closer to my goals, a little alarm bell goes off in my mind. Why am I resisting something I planned so carefully?  Well, sometimes it's just too much planning and not enough resting and enjoying life.  In trying to always be and do better, I was forgetting the freedom and enjoyment I work so hard for. If this message resonates with you, take a day off and enjoy your life.  You deserve it! Thanks for listening and have a great week! Sayda Please comment, like and subscribe. We're waiting for you!

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone! After listening to my struggle at getting out last week's check in, (and getting feedback from some good friends), I realized I was being too hard on myself.  Because I wanted to try so hard to stick to the program, I didn't even realize my body was just not well. On today's episode, Janis and I discussed the "Doers' Curse".  We're always achieving but not always getting some rest and recharging. We also talked about having the right people around you to keep your energy high and protected.  Not everyone understands your ambition and even those closest to you might not treat your dreams with the TLC they deserve.   When you find your tribe, cherish them and keep them close!

Hello Everyone! Hope you're having a happy Monday. Today's quick check in was a bit tough to get out.  I was very tired today from trying to go above and beyond in achieving some of my goals last week.  The metaphor I used in the podcast is my goal to get into the best shape of my life.  Working out 4 times a week for over an hour each session is tough, but I'm seeing progress and it's motivating.  That being said, I have to take my age into account and know that my body needs to recover and rest to build strength.  Rest is part of the process of achieving success.  In the future, I'll make sure to plan time to rest and restore my body and mind when going all in on my tasks and not worry because I'll get back on the saddle shortly. Do you ever have those days when you just can't focus? Why do you think it happens? How do you get back in the game? Please let me know your thoughts.  Have a fabulous week!  Sayda    Please comment, like and subscribe.

Happy Monday Everyone!!! It's a great day to be alive.   My friend Kyra Gordon joins us today on FTD sharing some great stories about her journey to living an authentic life. For Kyra, success has taken lot of hard work, unexpected detours and a commitment to being her authentic self on her journey to being the professional musician and teacher she is today. Creating the life you want takes a lot of courage and introspection. Are you creating the life you want? Don't forget to comment and let me know your thoughts. Have a fabulous week!

Happy Monday Everyone! Julia had a great idea for a "values" exercise she learned from the Brenee Brown's podcast where you chose your top 2 values in life from a vast list of possibilities.  You might be familiar with this exercise, but what a great process for evaluating your progress and feeling confident that the path you're on reflects your aspirations. Julia, Janis and I individually discuss our top 2 values and why we chose them. It's interesting that we all chose Authenticity as one of our top 2 values... What are your top 2 values in life right now?   Use the Values list to pick your top 10, then see if you can whittle it down to your top 2! I've added the list to as the last page of the video if you're watching and as an attachment if you're listening. Thanks so much for listening and please let me know your top 2 values!

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone! In today's quick check-in, we discuss the stories we tell ourselves that no longer serve us. When my mental struggles with depression became too much to bare, I dove into Aromatherapy and Herbalism to help heal myself and others. Now that my focus has changed, I realized that feeling fulfilled and minimizing stress sometimes means letting go or reprioritizing the time you spend on the things that you love to do.   Take that pressure off yourself to do ALL the things in order to be more productive and feel whole! You deserve to have peace of mind. Hope you have a wonderful week! -Sayda Please comment, like and subscribe. We're waiting for you!
