A new routine to bring out HER
My friend and I decided that we were going to make some changes to what we were doing because what we were doing wasn't working for us anymore. So we began 75 Hard. Yes, I talk about it but if you want to know more about it, you can Google it or find 1st Phorm's Andy Frisella's podcast where he...

When Life Throws You a Curveball
To say this week has been unexpected in the worst way possible, I'm not exaggerating. First, we come home from vacation (booo), then my sister tells me she has to put her dog (my Kota's dad) to sleep due to health reasons. Then, a few days later, literally, Tuesday to Friday, we find Kota has...
-
I'm not Becoming her, I AM HER!
It's funny what a little time away from "real life" can do for someone. I came back from vacation and had a mini download from either my future self or from the Universe itself that said, "You already are her". Mc-scuse me, what? I know I've talked about "becoming her" and now you're telling me I...

Turning disappointment into something that works!
If you're like me, you've for sure run into some times when you were looking forward to something and had it taken away. The disappointment that follows is severe and it can feel like the whole world is out to get you. Instead of living in the disappointment and letting it affect everything, why...

When progress feels invisible
Setting and starting goals is fun, addictive even to some. reaching the goals and celebrating the hard work is even better. But that middle part, isn't so happy. The middle part is where patience and consistency get tested because the invisible progress sneaks around like a black cat on…

Put the life back in living
When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried? When was the last time you had something to look forward to? Life has a way of creeping up on you and becoming more monotonous than interesting. We get stuck on a conveyor belt of wake up, work, home, chores, cooking, showering, sleep. We…

Maybe its not your mind... have you eaten today?
Over the past few months we've talked about how we feel "lazy", why we feel unmotivated, overwhelmed, frazzled etc. We've even discussed some avenues of self-care to help us relax and regulate. BUT We haven't talked about one of the best realms of self-care. FOOD, diet, nutrition, water! How we...

When life doesn't go according to plan...
They say that life's a lesson. And I believe that. I believe that in every setback, every failure, and every disappointment there is a lesson to be learned. I believe in growth through adversity. Growth through challenges. I am not where I thought I would be in life. That's not a secret, but the...

It's ok to not be OK.
You were not meant to go through hard things alone. Reach out to a trusted friend or even a neutral person for help and support. Do not be afraid to tell them what you need or don't need (support, guidance, someone to fight your battles with you vs. for you, etc.) National Suicidal Hotline - Call...

Why we feel lost in our 30's and 40's
We have everything (or damn near it) that we have ever wanted, but yet, we still feel lost, disconnected, unsure of the next step. Feelings like this can be really unsettling because WHAT DO YOU MEAN I STILL FEEL UNHAPPY yet still grateful?! Throughout life, we've been taught what parts of us are...

Romanticizing your life isn't silly- its changing your energy
Romanticizing your life is all about making it as EASY as possible for your future self to make decisions. AKA- tomorrow you will thank today you for your choices. Some things I have started doing- - meal planning baskets (setting aside ingredients in a basket on my counter to make it easy to…

The Mid-Year Reset Pep Talk
We've all made New Year's resolutions or I prefer New year goals. Same thing, different mindset. My goals for 2026 were EPIC in my eyes and I haven't gotten close to them yet, I fear. With today being 7/1/2026, it is the PERFECT time to do my mid year reset where I reflect on how 2026 is going…

Self-sabotage- why we do it and how to stop
Everyday we make a series of decisions. Some are great, others, not so much. Some of those decisions are ones that set us back in our goals and dreams and we don't even realize we are doing it. Today we discuss this exact phenomenon, self-sabotage. Listen in for the following topics of interest:...

Welcome HEATHER SIMCO to the show!

The Pep Talk I Didn't Know I Needed
Do you think SHE doesn't get tired, discouraged, bad days, feel off in her own body, want comfort foods? Who is the woman you want to be? You've had that conversation before with yourself, where you imagine all the good things you want in you life. The only difference is- THAT woman that you…

How to rebuild self-trust and self-worth FOR REAL this time
The shitty thing about being hurt by loved ones, is that even when you try to heal, you'll never be the person you were before the hurt. Healing and growth are not about completely changing who you are. It is about finding out who you are now, and growing through the pain and heartache. You are...
-
Becoming the woman who follows through (even when its hard)
IT's TiiiiIIIIIiiimmmmee! (as sang by Mariah Carey). Except, it's time to own your bullshit. Its time to stop blaming everyone else for our problems and acknowledge our part in our own fall. We are keeping ourselves down. Not on purpose. But because its comfortable and familiar. Not anymore. We…

How People Pleasing is Fueling Your Overwhelm
By not wanting someone to go unseen, unheard, and seemingly helpless we take on more for them so they can be happy. But constantly taking on other's responsibilities and not asking for help in return is stressing you out. You're not overwhelmed because you have too much to do, you're overwhelmed...
-
You don't hate yourself, You just don't trust yourself
You always tell yourself you are going to be better, more consistent, more "on top of it", You're simply going to be better than you were yesterday or last week. Then the time comes for you to do it... And you don't. Something comes up that takes your focus away or maybe even, you just feel…

5 Steps to Break the Overwhelm> Guilt >Shutdown Cycle
Oh, My, Gosh- Im so overwhelmed, I know I should be doing XYZ, but, I'm stuck on the couch doom scrolling. Sound familiar? The more we mentally and verbally punish ourselves for our quick fixes not working, not getting ourselves moving, not getting our list done, the more we shutdown, then the…

Why calling yourself lazy is keeping you stuck
WE ALL DO IT! We all downgrade our accomplishments, downgrade our beauty (internal and external) play down all the great things about us and every thing we do. Self deprecation is a nasty tool we use to keep ourselves down. Negative self-talk is the umbrella under which self-deprecation stands.…

Why you don't feel like yourself
Have you ever looked in a mirror and wondered who the person was looking back at you? Chances are, you have, and you have also felt like something was wrong with you personally because of course that's YOU in the mirror. Yet, you don't quite recognize her because you thought you'd be "farther...

Why you stay in functional freeze (even when you know better)
You know you're overwhelmed, but guess what, that awareness doesn't change anything. You keep saying " I know what I need to do, but, I'm just not doing it" on repeat and that leads you to more stress, shame, guilt, and pressure. Let's be honest here, you aren't stuck because you're lazy, you are...

The "I'll be happy when..." trap
How many times have you said, "I'll be happy when I..."? Honestly, more times that I can count. But why not be happy now? This came to me recently, and I caught myself saying it one day, "Why can't i just be happy!!" Then I got home, looked at my house and realized this is what I prayed, begged,...

You're not lazy, Just mentally overloaded
You show to everything you're supposed, you complete the tasks you know you HAVE to do each day, reply to the emails, the texts and return phone calls, but something just doesn't feel "right". You're frustrated because you just can't seem to be a self starter anymore, every thing you once loved...

Self- care is NOT an indulgence
Self-care is not a once in a while thing to do when you're feeling a type of way. It is a necessity to remind yourself of your own inherent worth and deservingness. It doesn't have to be expensive days at the salon or spa. It can truly be as simple as the ideas listed below: Brain dump journaling…

F* the FEAR
Have you ever felt the "what if I had done..." and realized that you let FEAR get in your way? Have you ever wanted to tell someone "NO" but you let the fear of losing them keep you from putting yourself first? Have you ever wanted something SO BAD, but you've never done it before and its outside...

Take Up Space
Playing small hasn't gotten me anywhere. The only time I know I have felt myself actually grow mentally and emotionally is when I stood up and did something that I originally felt I had no place doing. Taking up space doesn't mean being loud, irrational, pushy, arrogant or anything like that. Its...

The hardest part of becoming the new you
When we start to realize the things that we want and the things we will no longer tolerate, people start to feel a certain way about you. They start to change how they react to you. And honestly, that's ok! The hardest part of becoming your best self is learning what you will no longer tolerate…

Burnt Out and Over It
The annoying part of being human is the knowledge that we truly aren't invincible and that SOMETHING is going to take us down for a bit. This week I get into the feelings of burnt out and overwhelm and not knowing how to get out of it. And while I may be ticked off that I just cant get myself to…

Who am I in 2026

Welcome to 2026!
2025 was a WILD year! So many wonderful and amazing memories were made and I have the pictures to prove it! However, I didn't LEAVE 2025 in a place where I felt amazing and wonderful. I left 2025 behind feeling a little sad, a little disappointed and working on shadows I found hidden in the…

Enough for me
I've let people dictate who I should be for too long. Over the last few years, I've lost friends, gained friends, learned more about myself than I thought possible. I lost friends who made me feel small, I gained friends that helped open my eyes to my own potential. In my opinion, anyone who…

Dress to impress who? Dress to Impress YOU!
Have you ever walked around a store and quietly "judged" what other people are wearing? TBH- I have, but then I also judge myself on what I wear and how I present myself, too. Today, I talk about how dressing for YOURSELF can go miles towards building your self-esteem and confidence. Wearing the...

To be or not to be... worthy
How do you gauge your worth? Is it based on what you believe about yourself? Or about what others say and believe about you? If it's what you believe about yourself, do you believe in the good in you? Or do you believe that you deserve all the garbage that has happened in your past? If it's what...

People Pleaser to "Self"-ish B*tch
I worked too hard to find me to lose it all trying to please anyone else. Are you people pleasing to the point that you don't know who you are anymore? Have you lost yourself trying to keep your friends? What if you actually started showing upf for yourself and did that made you happy? What if…

You're not lost, you're meant to be here
I have struggled with the feeling of being lonely and lost and confused about life and where its meant to take me. You aren't alone in this feeling, but it may be different than how I felt. It's ok to be here. But, take this "downtime" to relax, revel in all that you have accomplished and enjoy...

You've come this far, Keep Fighting
I have heard from several people in the last few days how hard things have gotten. They've said that its just "too much" and they are tired. They are so tired of fighting for whatever it is they have doing. My advice.. Keep going, you've come this far. You fought this hard for this long. Why stop...
