Having left a cult in 2008, Rebecca knows how hard it can be to overcome the barriers we put between our happiness and success. In this podcast, she interviews entrepreneurs, parents, business owners and corporate juggernauts that have all come up against something big - and gotten to the other side. What differentiates the successful from the sad is their ability to break through, finding ways to get past what was holding them back and stepping into the next growth phase. Discover "how to" ideas and strategies to leap beyond what's holding you back - and into the life and business you want.

    Episode 149: You're Doing "Productivity" Wrong

    You may be attempting to be productive...but doing it all wrong. Anyone can be busy. It takes some training, practice and strategy to be really productive. It's been a theme in some of my coaching calls lately so I figured I'd share some ideas here on how to fix your "busy" or "I just can't get to the important stuff" problem. It's easy to get dragged into other peoples' emergencies. They can seem so compelling! It's easier to solve someone else's problems than our own anyway so who cares? Then you drop what you're doing, no matter how important...and skip off with your 5 Alarm Fire Friend. That's not going to get you anywhere. You'll eventually come back to whatever you were working on (or not), and feel like you have to start allllll over again. Save yourself the mental anguish. Follow these rules and it'll be a golden, beautiful and productive day!

You can choose to complain about your situation, or contain it - and not let it steal your joy and your productivity!

  7. 145

    Episode 145: Social Media is Stealing Your Focus

    There is a constant war for our attention. Billboards, ads, social media feeds and more. I have come to realize that the social networks in particular are insidious and downright dangerous for us, because they are literally designed to make us enraged (not engaged), they prey on our weaknesses and insecurities, making us feel like we are alone in our problems. Worse, they try to convince us that systemic, deep problems can be whisked away with "this one simple solution!" There is an opportunity to make a change at the individual level, and it's in you to do! There are ideas not only on what we can do individually, but how we can contribute to changing the way our social networks - and society at large - operate, driving us more towards growth and joy than degradation and anger.

    Episode 144: Lions, Tigers and Bears - Oh My!

    Episode 143: Do THIS to de-stress business planning

    Business planning can create massive anxiety: how will you achieve that  income goal next year? It's so BIG! How will you grow your business?  What if the economy tanks even more? What if interest rates skyrocket  out of control? What if...what if...what if...?   There's a much less stressful way to plan - and it involves focusing on  ONE THING and one thing only: you.   This strategy works for entrepreneurs, corporate  executives, even kids in school. Trust me - it's the least stressful way  to get the results you want.

  10. 142

    Episode 142: Why We Blame...and How To Stop It

    Episode 137: Stop Setting Goals Like Everyone Else (3 Ways To Do It Differently)

Kind of the  opposite of what they're intended for, right?   I've got 3 new ways you can set goals for yourself, using YOUR unique  motivators, not everyone else's.   Stop living someone else's life, and building someone else's business.  Do it on your terms and start with setting goals YOUR way!

  16. 136

    Episode 136: Remove "Emotional" Brain Fog

    If you can't name your emotions, or define how you feel (good, bad or  ugly) you're doomed to stay in a state of "emotional" brain fog. You  can't think straight, make good decisions, and you'll find yourself  shooting off your mouth more than you wanted.    To get to a point of clarity, high performance, happiness, income growth  and fulfillment, the better you are at naming your emotions, the better  chance you have to create a plan to deal with them and move on. Don't  stay stuck!     To book a call with me directly, right now, click HERE: https://www.scheduleyou.in/rMx7QLdDk

    Episode 134: It's Not Selfish to Self-Care
