Summary: Kaity Robinson is the owner of The Brand5: a creative branding and marketing company that takes your brand and elevates it so that you can attract more life-long customers. What I love about Kaity and why I wanted her to come onto the pod was how much she focuses on mindset and how important that has been to growing personally and professionally. Kaity was actually one of my college roommates so over the past 10 years we have really been able to watch each other learn and grow but haven't actually had a face to face conversation in 9 years - so this was a really incredible conversation of leveling up, going after what you really want, and coming into your own. This is the first video podcast of B2BF - wasn't planned that way and here we are! Enjoy being able to watch the conversation unfold - one of my favorite conversations I've had on the show yet!

Themes: change, growth, self-awareness, confidence, health, allowing, attachment, romantic relationships, relationship to self


Summary: Vasavi Kumar is an actor, voice-over artist, Confident Communication Coach, and podcast host of the Say It Out Loud Podcast and has been my personal mentor for the past year. She has helped guide me not only in my growth as an entrepreneur and a coach but most importantly in my personal life. We talk and shoot the shit about all things growth, making massive changes in our lives (& even minor ones), becoming more comfortable with ourselves, and everything in between. She reminds us that confidence is not a feeling, it's a skill. Leaning into what makes us uncomfortable is essential to building confidence and love with yourself.

Themes: Weight Loss, gaining weight, body image, self worth, health & fitness, negative thinking Summary: It's been a long journey for me when it comes to connecting my self-worth to the size of my body.

06| Take Messy Action

06| Take Messy Action

Themes: perfectionism, procrastination, fear, progress
Summary: In this solo episode, I talk about the toxicity of perfectionism and how waiting until the "perfect moment" or until everything falls in line to do the thing that's been weighing on your mind is keeping you from your greatest potential. The quickest and easiest way to learn, not only about yourself but about how to continue to improve, is to take the fear of wanting to do something and do it anyway. Take messy action.

03| Self-Worth: Why focusing on it will improve every aspect of your life

03| Self-Worth: Why focusing on it will improve every aspect of your life

There's a reason why I focus so much on improving my self-worth (& helping others do the same) It's not just about feeling good and confident in myself, although yes, that's obviously a given. Once you improve your self-worth, all your relationships will improve, aspects of your job will improve, and your health will improve. It's essential to invest time, money, energy, and resources into yourself - so that every other aspect of your life can (and will) improve. I severely butchered a quote in this episode and wanted to give you the correct one here: "Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own." - Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist Make sure to subscribe, share, leave a review so this podcast can get into more people's ears and change more lives.

02| The question you really need to start asking yourself...

02| The question you really need to start asking yourself...

How many times have you said "Well what do I do...?" or "How do I...?" It usually comes down to you wanting to get to a certain "destination", you're wanting to achieve a certain goal. So you ask yourself or you ask others what they did and exactly how they did it for them to get there.  You are asking yourself the wrong question. Looking to others for the exact steps & formula that worked for them isn't going to work for you. The real question you need to start asking yourself is... **tune into the episode to find out** Follow me on Instagram for more: @elevatingwellnesscoaching
