Ep 15: How to Decide if Network Marketing Right for You

Ep 15: How to Decide if Network Marketing Right for You

Network marketing as an industry gets a bad rap. Who, in this Year Of Our Lord 2021, has not gotten that random message from a long-lost high school friend hawking a "miracle" product designed to make you thinner, prettier, or healthier? You haven't talked to her in seriously 19 years and now here she is, rolling into your DMs to sell you a solution to a problem you didn't even know you had.


But here's the thing: for every saccharine, passive-aggressive network marketer I've had the unfortunate opportunity to endure, I know at least one passionate, heart-centered woman who is promoting products she believes in and making a good living doing it.


So if some women are scraping by and annoying everyone within a 10-mile radius and other women are generating meaningful income and creating real relationships based on love and trust, then is all this negativity toward the industry really warranted? And if you do decide to sign on with one of these companies, what do you need to look out for? How can you avoid becoming another cautionary tale?


Listen in for my perspective on when you should—and shouldn't—jump into network marketing.

Ep 11: Let Go of All or Nothing Thinking

Ep 11: Let Go of All or Nothing Thinking

Binary thinking makes us miserable because it only deals in extremes. For example, if you tend to view things in a black-and-white way, you might think you’re either a success or a failure, depending on how you define those. Chances are, you’ll only need to make one mistake to label yourself a failure.


If you’re trying to eat healthier but you slip up and eat a cupcake, you’ll think you’ve failed. If you’re in a job interview and everything went well except for one question, you’ll consider that flub as evidence that the whole meeting was a waste.

When you’re stuck in all-or-nothing thought patterns, you’re either at 100% or 0% – there is no in-between. It’s time to break the pattern.

Ep 10: Who Do You Think You Are?? Break Through Limiting Beliefs

Ep 10: Who Do You Think You Are?? Break Through Limiting Beliefs

There are just some moments that stick with you. Events that etch themselves into your brain and mark a shift in the way you view yourself, other people, or even the world. Their effects can be felt months, years, or even decades later, influencing your thoughts, feelings, and habits.

This is the story of one such moment in my life. I'm sharing it with you because this experience is one that many of us have had. The details may differ, but I have a hunch you'll be able to relate.

Ep 09: Thoughts on Motivation from a Grad-School Dropout

Until I discovered life coaching and thought work, my life was a series of choices based on misunderstood motivation. If you've ever gone after a goal for the wrong reasons—or if you're currently working toward something and you sense that your heart isn't in it—this episode is for you!

Ep 04: 7 Easy Ways to Shrink Your Carbon Footprint

Ep 04: 7 Easy Ways to Shrink Your Carbon Footprint

The thing about science is that it’s true whether you believe it or not. Like, I could peer over the rocks of the Grand Canyon and proclaim that gravity is fake news, but if I lose my balance and fall into the wide-open mouth of that North Rim, I’m gonna die.

Climate change is real, even if some people don’t want to admit it. And we all have it within our power to make a difference by reducing our family’s carbon footprint. When we talk about becoming more “eco-friendly” or “going green,” what we’re talking about is shrinking our carbon footprint.

Your carbon footprint, according to The Nature Conservancy, is “the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) that are generated by [your] actions.” Everything you do either directly or indirectly that creates waste or pollutes the environment contributes to your carbon footprint. It’s virtually impossible to bring your footprint to zero, but that shouldn’t stop you from taking steps to make your impact on the environment smaller.

The Work We Already Do

“After registering unusually high temperatures across the globe, May 2020 tied with 2016 as the world’s warmest May on record,” according to scientists at NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information. “The heat wasn’t just limited to May. The three-month season (March through May) and the year to date (January through May) ranked second-warmest in the 141-year global record.”

Most of us know we need to make changes, and many of us have already begun making over our routines to be more eco friendly. Maybe you’ve ditched bottled water in favor of a reusable tumbler, or you bring reusable bags to the store instead of putting your groceries into plastic ones. Better yet, you might have said “sayonara” to plastic straws – I mean, why not when there are so many fun reusable straws you can use?

And I bet you recycle if it’s available in your area. That one’s a no-brainer!

The great thing about all these swaps is that they’re pretty painless. It’s not much of a burden to carry some shopping bags with you, is it? But many of us get stuck when we try to go a step further beyond those popular changes. So here are 7 more ideas to reduce your carbon footprint without losing your mind. They’re easy, inexpensive, and you’ll feel good knowing you’re doing your part to save the planet.


Listen in for 7 SUPER EASY ways to up your eco-friendly game.
