Why it’s important to do what you can with what you have no matter how insignificant it may seem in the moment.

We always do what we can to stay on top of our game and be at or near our best on a consistent basis … but what about when you’re just not? That’s what this episode is about. Hope it serves you. Feel free to forward to anyone you think may appreciate it too

A question to ask yourself if you’re not.

Are you unintentionally holding yourself back from making forward progress, maybe even leaps, in your journey? Here’s one reason you might be working so hard and getting nowhere, plus, what do to instead. Enjoy!

Sometimes we’re afraid to admit we don’t know what to do or don’t have all the answers or don’t know what the next best step is. But what if that’s okay? I share more on this in this episode. Enjoy!

Teaching excellence and an obstacle that we can run into as leaders, coaches, parents, etc. This episode was inspired by a conversation I had with a leader who was experiencing frustration and concern in this process with their athlete because the athlete was becoming rather discouraged.

My best tips for maximizing your time and energy when you have a full schedule, a busy life, a ton in your plate, and “not enough time in a day” to get it all done.

I have a 2017 grad and a daughter scheduled to graduate in 2019. Who would've thought that I'd be filling out a FAFSA for a new college student in 2018?

We shall see where this goes 🙂
