022--TRUE (AND FUNNY!) CONFESSIONS WITH JOEY & MANDY

With everything going on, we can lose ourselves in the shuffle. So in today's episode, Joey explores what it looks like to really check in on ourselves and chats about the little ways we can take care of ourselves.

021--CHECK IN ON YOURSELF

Welcome back! In the first episode back from hiatus, I reveal the new format of this show: a blended cocktail of written content and casual chit chat. In today's episode, we take a look at what bubbles to the surface when a bit of white space is introduced into our lives.

020--WHAT BUBBLES TO THE SURFACE?

There’s this odd, blended and compounded issue most of us face in life: and it’s the layered complexity of the effects of monetizing creativity, experiencing expansion and accepting growth. So what happens when we chase a dream, goal or creativity and find ourselves getting in our own way? How do we navigate the pain that comes from growth? How are we supposed to get from where we are now to where we want to go? In today’s episode, Joey and Mandy discuss all of this and more.

019: GETTING IN YOUR OWN WAY AND NAVIGATING THE PAIN THE COMES WITH GROWTH

You might not realize this, but there’s a person in your life that you’re kind of screwing over. We constantly pile things on this person, and we’re really doing them absolutely no favors in the way we treat them. Who am I talking about? Everyone, I’d like for you to meet: your future self.   In today’s episode, Joey shares a very simple principle that you can implement into your life RIGHT NOW that will supercharge your productivity, change the way you experience your days and shows your future self a whole lotta love.

018: THIS PRINCIPLE WILL SUPERCHARGE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY & CHANGE HOW YOU EXPERIENCE YOUR DAYS

Sometimes, life just gets hard. We’re faced with great, big unknowns and experience ginormous loss. And in the midst of heartache and struggle, it’s hard to imagine we’ll ever experience joy again. But despite everything, no matter your circumstances, there is still hope. There is always hope.   On this episode, we’re honored to have Jenn Slayton join us to share her experience with loss and how she’s managed to find hope, faith and maybe even joy in her season of grief and struggle.   If you’re in the midst of a difficult, heartbreaking season, today’s episode is a must listen. We discuss the real and raw truth about hope and faith and what it takes to experience joy despite it all.

Fall out of the routines that introduced the necessary structure into your day? The blahs can settle in like a fog and wreak havoc on the life you want to live. So how can you ditch ‘em and kickstart healthy habits & productivity. 

016-- Ditch the "blahs" & kickstart healthy habits & productivity

Making the choice to try something new can often come with a series of doubts. What if it’s a mistake? What if I change my mind? What if I fail? So many of us spend a lot of time stuck inside of choices that we know are mistakes because we are either too proud or too embarrassed to just admit that we simply changed our minds. In today’s episode, Mandy Asberry joins us again to discuss trying new things, changing our minds, redefining ourselves and Kim Kardashian.

015-TRYING NEW THINGS, CHANGING YOUR MIND & REDEFINING YOURSELF WITH MANDY ASBERRY

The Law of attraction, manifestation, positive thinking—it can all be a bit too woo. But when curiosity got the best of me and I found myself deep in a rabbit hole of research (we’re talking…I ended up in the weird part of Google. ?) But in my research, I discovered something quite interesting that makes all of this seem a lot less woo and a lot more logical. I dive into what all of that looks like in today’s episode. So if you’ve ever been intrigued by the LOA, today’s episode is for you!

014--CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT: THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING, MANIFESTATION & THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

Do you feel like something inexplicable is holding you back? There’s change you want to make—there’s something you want to do—but you just can’t seem to do it? It’s possible and very likely that if you just do this one tiny little thing, you’ll break through the resistance and find yourself making forward progress.

013--GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION

New year, new you? Maybe you don’t have to totally reinvent yourself this year. Your "old self" is much stronger than you give her credit for and offers you a great foundation to make big things happen this year. I’m excited to have Mandy Asberry join me in today’s episode to chat all things new year. We dive into goal setting, resolutions, intentions and “just for fun” bucket list items for 2020. 

012: Talking goals, intentions and emotional well-being with Mandy Asberry

The truth about the hard stuff and joy. Can you really be on a journey to joyful and still have a really crappy year? Well, yes. And for Joey, that’s certainly been the case. There’s a plaguing misconception that if you design a joyful life, you can intentionally pick and choose how things go—and that is simply not the case.   So what’s the point of designing a joyful life if things can still be crappy? Well, in today’s episode, Joey takes a deep dive into all of that. So, is designing a joyful life worth it? Tune in to find out.

011-How to design a joyful new year after a crap 2019

The possibility of big change can be intoxicating. We look at our lives as they currently are and think man, wouldn’t it be cool if… We dream up what we want our lives to look like, the things we want to accomplish, the habits we’d like to introduce, but we get tripped up when it comes to executing those things. But what if I told you there was something you could do today, right now even, that could help you make progress towards making big changes in your life?   In today’s episode, Joey reveals the small steps you can take to accomplish big change in your life.

010--SMALL STEPS TO BIG CHANGE

Chances are you’re familiar with that paralyzing, heavy feeling of overwhelm. If you’re someone who has ever kept a todo list, you probably know how unlikely it is to have every item crossed off at the end of the week. Things crop up and derail even our best laid plans. With all you need to do, you start questioning if you’ll ever get to do the things you want to do. Well, in today’s episode, Joey reveals her fail-safe time management system that hasn’t just changed her own life, but the lives of her clients. Finally get a grip on your time, do the things you want to do, rest and relax with intention and master your life.

009-TIME MANAGEMENT: GET A GRIP ON EVERYTHING

Some people are talkers. Others are doers. And many fall somewhere in between. We’ve all heard the tired expression “dreams don’t work unless you do,” but what exactly does that mean?
