The Solution to Burnout is Not Resiliency
I’m tired of hearing how in order to combat burnout, you need to be resilient. According to dictionary.com, resilient means “spring back; rebounding” or “returning to the original form.” Burnout usually hits, in any industry, about year one or two. The newness of the job has worn off. You get into the daily routine, and […]
Flip Negative Thoughts on Their Head
Ninety percent of your thoughts are the same thoughts you’ve had before. Only ten percent of your thoughts are new. So what do you keep repeating to yourself and how is this holding you back? You had a fight before you left home this morning. It’s weighing on your mind as you go to work. […]
Courageous Conversations with Yourself
Courageous Conversations with Yourself Before you can have courageous conversations with others, you must first practice having them with yourself. What do those look like? How do you start doing that? You’ve been trained to lie to yourself. You believe things about yourself that just aren’t true. Like you’re not smart enough, people won’t buy […]
How to Get What You Want From Rejection

Who Have You Become

No Labels Needed
As you go about your day, if you’re like most people, you likely repeat your label to yourself several times. Unworthy, stupid, fat, not enough, ugly, addict, undeserving, unlovable. Maybe you don’t just repeat one of them but a combination of them. What’s your label? Then you either try your best to become the opposite […]
Active Communication
Communication is often seen as the foundation of any relationship. If you’re not communicating effectively, it can lead to stress, frustration, anger, and fights all because of misunderstandings, lack of communication, or not listening.

3 Seconds to Act
Beep. Beep. Beep. Your alarm goes off. You roll over to hit the button you press every day…snooze. Except this time you stop. You count…1…2…3. You jerk upright. You’re not going to hit snooze today. You slowly get up and your thoughts come to your mind. I’m tired. Why didn’t I hit snooze. I want […]
How to Be More Confident
People can spot a confident man a mile away. In his movements. How he walks. The way he carries his shoulders. When you exude confidence, people can feel it as soon as you enter a room. The aura you have. The way in which you interact with others. How others speak to you. When you’re […]
