You'll learn how to stop overthinking, make choices…
What if finding clients didn't have to feel like constantly convincing people to work with you? What if instead, you could create an experience where people get a real result, see what you're capable of, and naturally want more? In this episode, I'm talking with health coach and founder of The Wellness Vault, Valerie Feghali, about one of her favorite ways to serve potential clients and grow a…

Do you sometimes find yourself wishing you were further along, doing more, or somewhere else entirely? What if the key to making real progress is learning to fully be where you are right now? In this episode, I dive into what it really means to be where you are. Learn why so many of us resist the present moment and how that resistance creates stress, distraction, and frustration. Watch the episode…
Do you ever catch yourself thinking, "Should I dial this back?" or "Is this dream realistic?" - then end up stuck in the same place, unsure whether to chase a big vision or stay within comfortable limits? In today's episode, we take on this exact tension: learning how to think bigger without disconnecting from practicality. I talk about why most of us vacillate between dreaming too small and…
Are you letting criticism derail your confidence and your day? Everyone faces feedback, negative comments, or outright criticism. But how you respond makes the difference between growth and frustration. What if you could handle criticism strategically, protect your confidence, and even use it to your advantage? Tune in this week to learn practical ways to take criticism like a boss. Watch the…
What if striving for perfection is actually holding you back? So many of us have been taught that A+ effort is the only acceptable standard, but what if constantly pushing for perfect results is draining your energy, limiting your growth, and keeping you from moving forward? In this episode, I'm diving into the concept of aiming for B- work and why it can actually be more effective than trying to…
Are you constantly thinking about your adult children, worrying about their choices, or wondering if you did enough as a parent? What if most of that anxiety isn't serving you or them? This week, I break down why worrying about your adult children's lives is really fear disguised as wisdom, why trying to control outcomes actually disconnects you from your kids, and what to do instead. Watch the…
Do you ever catch yourself thinking, "Why does this always happen to me?" Feeling stuck or powerless can sneak in when we least expect it, and it often shows up as victim mentality. It's a natural part of being human, but the cost is real. Tune in this week as I break down what victim mentality actually is, why we all fall into it from time to time, and how it affects both your own choices and the…
What if strengthening your mind was just as important as strengthening your body? Most of us know how to build physical strength. We exercise, improve our nutrition, and challenge our muscles over time. But very few people think about intentionally strengthening their minds, even though doing so can dramatically improve how they feel, how they show up, and what they create in their lives. In this…
What if the biggest breakthroughs in your life require you to do the exact opposite of what your brain wants to do? Most people think success comes from playing it safe, avoiding embarrassment, fitting in, and trying to get things "right" the first time. But the people who create extraordinary results are usually willing to do things that feel uncomfortable, awkward, risky, or even unpopular. In…
What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want is the energy you're bringing to it? It's easy to blame circumstances, timing, or lack of confidence when things aren't working out the way we hoped. But often, the real issue is that we're showing up cautiously, hesitantly, or half committed while expecting meaningful results in return. In this episode, I break down what I mean…
When life feels heavy, uncertain, or full of struggle, it can seem almost impossible, or even wrong, to prioritize your own peace, happiness, and joy. But the truth is, being happy in an unhappy world isn't about ignoring reality. It's about learning how to intentionally create an emotional life that serves you, even when circumstances around you feel difficult. In this episode, I break down seven…
What if confidence isn't something you're born with, but something you strategically build? So many people believe confidence is reserved for the naturally bold or outgoing, when in reality, confidence is created through intentional choices, daily habits, and a willingness to get uncomfortable. If you've been waiting to feel confident before you go after what you want, this episode will completely…
What if the reason you're still stuck isn't because you don't know enough, but because knowing and learning are two completely different things? We live in a world where information has never been more accessible, but access to knowledge doesn't automatically create transformation. If you've ever wondered why you keep gathering insights without seeing real change, this episode will challenge the…
What if you could trust yourself so deeply that when you made a decision, you knew it was as good as done? Imagine setting a goal or making a promise to yourself and feeling 99% certain you would follow through, no second-guessing, no doubt. For most people, that level of self-trust feels out of reach, especially after years of overpromising, underdelivering, and feeling disappointed in…
What if your fear of failure is the very thing holding you back from success? It's easy to let the thought of failing stop us from even trying. We avoid taking risks, stepping out of our comfort zones, and chasing our biggest dreams because we're afraid of not succeeding. But what if we could shift our mindset and turn that fear into the fuel that drives us toward our goals? Join me this week as I…
Why do you keep quitting on the things that matter most to you? We've all been there: excited about a new goal or project, only to give up after a few setbacks or challenges. But why do we do it? If we're so committed in the beginning, what causes us to fall off track? In today's episode, I dive into why you keep quitting, even when you deeply care about the goal. It's not because you're lazy or…
Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right, but money still feels out of reach? Like somehow it's just not meant for you, or it's not really in your control? In this episode, I'm talking directly to those of you who feel stuck financially, and I'm walking you through seven common mindsets that might be keeping you there. I focus especially on patterns I see with LDS women, but truly,…
Do you ever wonder if you're truly loving yourself in the way you deserve? Many of us know self-love is important, but what does it actually look like in practice? It's easy to get caught up in the idea of loving ourselves being a one-time act or a fleeting feeling, but it's actually a mindset and a set of daily habits that can transform how we show up for ourselves and others. Tune in this week…
What if being nice is actually holding you back more than you realize? Most of us have been taught that being kind, agreeable, and easygoing is a virtue. But when "nice" turns into people-pleasing, avoiding the truth, or saying yes when you really mean no, it starts to cost you in ways you may not have fully considered. Tune in this week as I break down what being nice is really costing you, and…
What if selling didn't have to feel pushy, manipulative, or uncomfortable? Many people believe that making an impact requires being aggressive or persuasive in ways that don't feel authentic. But the truth is, most of us are already selling every day, whether we're encouraging our kids to do their homework, guiding a client toward a better solution, or helping someone take a step toward a result…
What if the thing you're most upset about right now isn't actually the problem? What if the circumstance itself is completely neutral, and it's your thoughts about it that are creating your entire emotional experience? In this episode, I revisit one of the core concepts of this work: circumstances are neutral. We define what a circumstance actually is (hint: it's just the facts), and why…
What if the commandment to multiply and replenish the Earth isn't just about having babies, but about becoming the kind of person who creates, contributes, and grows in ways that feel alive and expansive to you? In this episode, I share a perspective that has completely shifted the way I see ambition, especially for women who have been taught to prioritize everyone else's needs above their own…
When you're doing everything you're "supposed" to do and it's still not working… what then? Whether it's your marriage, your parenting, your business, or your health goals, there comes a point where the strategies you're trying don't seem to be producing the results you expected. And in that moment, your brain wants to tell you something has gone wrong. Maybe it won't work for you. Maybe you're…
What's the difference between trying to control someone and trying to positively influence them? Whether it's your family, your coworkers, or even clients, we all have moments when we want to help others make better decisions or change their behavior. But are you influencing them for their benefit, or for your own? Today, we dive into the distinction between influence, manipulation, and control,…
What does it really mean to live a rich life, and is it possible to feel rich even if your bank account doesn't look the way you want it to yet? If money feels emotionally charged for you, or you find yourself swinging between wanting more and feeling resentful, discouraged, or ashamed about where you are, this episode is an invitation to look at wealth through a much bigger and more compassionate…
Is getting straight A's actually preparing you for a successful, fulfilling life… or could it be quietly working against you? For many of us, being the "good student" became part of our identity early on, shaping how we measure success, effort, and even our worth. But what happens when life no longer hands you a clear rubric, a step-by-step roadmap, or external validation for doing things "right"?…
A lot of people think they know their business, but they're actually confused and misunderstanding it.

If you want to take your coaching business to the next level, there are five specific areas where pros distinguish themselves from amateurs. Pro Coach Camp starts February…
Are you putting yourself out there on social media, posting content, maybe even starting a podcast, but still struggling to get clients? In this episode, I'm continuing the Pro Coach series with a deep dive into how professional coaches approach sales differently than amateurs. The distinction might surprise you because it starts long before you ever make an offer to anyone. Join me this week to…
It feels like everyone around you is a coach these days. But here's the real question: how many of them are what you would call professional coaches? I've been in this industry for 12 years now, and I've seen a lot of people come and go. I've watched coaches go through training and never do anything with it. I've seen businesses flounder without the consistency their owners desperately wanted.…
Have you ever thought to yourself, "Why bother setting goals if I'm just going to be disappointed when I don't hit them?" Maybe you've decided that instead of chasing achievements, you should just love yourself as you are and be happy right where you're at. Or perhaps you've told yourself that so much is out of your control anyway, why set goals when you can't control the outcome? I get it. IBut…

Have you ever noticed how much energy you spend trying to avoid failure? Whether it's in your relationships, your career, or even your health goals, most of us are unconsciously playing to not lose instead of playing to win. The truth is, when we operate from fear and protection mode, we miss out on the extraordinary possibilities available to us. And this week, I'm examining how this cautious…
Have you ever wondered why some coaches seem to effortlessly scale their impact and income while others stay stuck small and broke? After 12 years in the coaching industry, I've seen this pattern play out countless times. The difference isn't talent. It's not certification. And it's definitely not about having the perfect marketing strategy. So, what's the real difference between pro coaches and…
Did you know that you are meant for joy? Your purpose, one of your main reasons for existing, is to experience joy. In this episode, I show you why joy isn't created by any conditions outside of you and how this changes everything about how you approach your life. Most of us think we need certain circumstances to feel joy, but what if that's completely backwards? Join me on this episode to…
Do people constantly tell you, "You must be so busy"? Maybe they mean it as a compliment, like you're so productive and accomplished. But here's what I've discovered: being busy is exhausting, and it's no way to live your life. In this episode, I challenge the cultural badge of honor we've made out of being busy and offer you a different way to approach your life - one where you can do all the…
The holiday season brings gatherings with people we love, but sometimes those gatherings include people who push our buttons. Maybe it's that relative who always has something critical to say, or the in-law whose worldview clashes with yours. You know you'll see them at Thanksgiving dinner or the family holiday party, and you're already bracing yourself for the discomfort. This week, I'm talking…
Have you ever felt guilty about wanting more money? Maybe you've been taught that being spiritual means you shouldn't care about wealth beyond your basic needs. Or perhaps you find yourself constantly worried about finances, checking your bank account with dread, and feeling like there's never enough. Well, what if your faith and your finances aren't meant to be separate? In fact, what if they're…
Many of us learned early on that being good meant following the rules, keeping everyone happy, and never causing discomfort. So maybe you find yourself saying yes when really, you mean no. Perhaps you agree to host the family gathering, even when you're already overwhelmed, or give in to your teenager's demands because you can't stand their anger. This week, I'm joined by Dr. Jennifer…
Resentment in marriage often feels like an inevitable part of long-term relationships. That slow burn of frustration when your spouse doesn't help with the dishes, or the familiar irritation when they make plans without checking with you first. These everyday moments can accumulate into something that feels permanent and insurmountable, creating distance between partners who once felt deeply…
Ever notice how your brain seems to get stuck in negative thought patterns? Maybe you've been feeling down lately, or perhaps you've noticed yourself complaining more than usual. Maybe you're just tired of feeling like everything is harder than it should be. Here's the truth: negativity isn't just happening to you. It's being created by your brain. And while that might sound discouraging at first,…
What if I told you some of your biggest business and life lessons could come from watching Taylor Swift? Whether you're a devoted Swiftie or not, there's no denying her incredible success. And success leaves clues. When someone achieves the level of impact Taylor Swift has, there's something worth studying beyond the music itself. The patterns, the choices, the way she navigates her world, these…
Do you believe that if you're too accepting of yourself, you'll never improve? That being hard on yourself is the only way to grow? If so, you're not alone. This is one of the most common misconceptions I see, and it's holding so many people back from their true potential. This internal battle is exhausting, and it's based on a fundamental misunderstanding about how human beings actually change…
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by all the good advice out there? You know what I mean. All those strategies, tactics, and mindset tips that are supposed to help you create change in your life… but somehow, you're still stuck. When you're stuck in a pattern of negative thinking about your business, your health, your relationships, or any challenge in your life, you might think you need to…
From hoping for good weather to hoping our business succeeds, "hope" is a word we throw around constantly. But there's a critical difference between these two scenarios that most people miss. One puts you in the passenger seat of your life, while the other pretends you're not even holding the steering wheel. Here's the truth: hope isn't always your friend. Sometimes, it's actually keeping you from…
Stories shape us more profoundly than facts ever could. A public speaking coach once told me that if a picture is worth a thousand words, a story is worth a thousand pictures. We rarely remember the actual tactics from lessons or speeches, but the stories stay with us. Earlier this year, I brought in a storytelling coach to lead a workshop for coaches and content creators. We spent the day in this…
