The dramatic results of the US Presidential election have left me feeling shocked, sad, scared, angry, and confused. On this episode, I talk about how we can process this experience in as healthy a way as possible, ways we can show up for ourselves and others, and how we can move forward together in this intense time of emotion and division. Even though it may not feel like it for many reasons right now, I do believe that we’re all in this together.

With so much uncertainty and potential change in the country and the world, as well as the various aspects of our life and work that matter most to us, it is easy to get stuck in fear.

I then share some specific things we can do to effectively manage our anxiety and liberate ourselves.
Having healthy expectations of ourselves and others is essential for success, but there’s a fine line between ambition and rigid demands. On this episode, we explore the paradox of expectations—how goal-setting can both inspire and frustrate. You’ll learn four practical actions to manage your expectations in a healthy way, while maintaining flexibility and balance. It’s about embracing the journey and pursuing what you truly want, without being consumed by the outcome.
Knowing whether we’re sore or hurt is important in various contexts. Soreness is a natural part of growth and progress, while injury needs to be addressed and intervened with specifically. Whether it’s our physical wellbeing, our mental health, our relationships, our teams, or our businesses, understanding this distinction is essential. On this episode I talk about why this dynamic is fundamental to our success and how it applies in many different situations and circumstances.
