Personal Pep Talk

Summer Break

How you finish matters. There's research that shows that the end of a person's experience will color the person's memory of that experience as a whole. So I think it's time we pay a little more attention to our endings - the end of the day, the end of meetings, the end of lessons. In this episode, I'll share how I'm learning that you can shift your entire experience of something just by choosing how you end it.  For complete show notes and more, visit personalpeptalk.com

Finish Strong

 Are you working on something that's got you feeling more than a little overwhelmed? Are you working on building some new skills, but feel so "not good enough" in that area, you just want to quit the whole thing altogether? I am! But I recently had a little a-ha moment about it that's helping me stick to my big goals and find the next baby step I need to take to achieve it. In this episode, I'll tell you all about it.  For complete show notes and more, visit personalpeptalk.com.

Before You Quit

Do you ever have trouble getting your mind to "turn off" so you can fall asleep? Me too! I don't tend to think of myself as a "good sleeper" but I'm working on that. In this episode, I share how I'm helping myself fall asleep more peacefully so I can wake up more rested and ready to take on the day! For complete show notes and more, visit personalpeptalk.com

Sleepy Gratitude

If you have a tendency to make up stories about situations you really know nothing about, I'm right there with you. Especially in my relationships. I've done this with Eric hundreds times. So I wanted to talk to him about it. We just pressed record and captured this vulnerable conversation as it happened. Listen in as we talk about the dangers of making assumptions and the power of communicating to get the truth instead.

The Dangers of Making Up a Story

Are you working on something especially challenging? Do you need some extra motivation to make it to the finish line? Maybe it's time for a countdown!

Time for a Countdown

I've always wanted to be better at acceptance - an ease and openness to accepting things as they are. I know the opposite, resistance, can cause a lot of suffering. But how do I become more accepting? That's the hard part. In this episode I share how I've made a tiny mental shift in my thinking around these big concepts and how that new perspective is helping me practice acceptance in a whole new way.

Eric joins me on this episode to discuss how this little question has such a BIG impact on our communication and the health of our relationship.

How Can I Love You?

Being mindful doesn't just have to be a practice you turn to when you feel challenged. It can also be a way of capitalizing on moments when you're feeling good too! This pep talk podcast episode will inspire you to take those moments you're feeling good to the next level so you can feel even more confident and empowered in the future!

Celebrate!

Fear can be healthy. It keeps us safe from harm, helps us from repeating past mistakes, and can even motivate us to take action. But it can also be debilitating and can keep us from trying new things or pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones. I was recently in a situation where fear was trying to prevent me from doing something I was really inspired to do, but I used the strategy I share in this episode and it helped me gain the courage I needed to push forward.

When I'm feeling worried or anxious, it's usually because I'm thinking about something that hasn't happened yet.
