How Eliminating One Word Can Shift Your Mindset (& Unlock Sustainable Success) | Carla Ondrasik (EP408)

How Eliminating One Word Can Shift Your Mindset (& Unlock Sustainable Success) | Carla Ondrasik (EP408)

If you’re struggling to meet your goals, the problem may not be effort—it’s that you’re still trying. In this episode, author and motivational speaker Carla Ondrasik joins me to share insights from her new book, Stop Trying!: The Life-Transforming Power of Trying Less and Doing More. Drawing from her unconventional childhood, career in music publishing, and experience as a mother, Carla challenges the way we use the word “try” and makes the case for a powerful mindset shift: replacing trying with doing. We dive into the psychology of language, the difference between half-hearted attempts and decisive action, and why accountability and small, achievable steps are key to lasting change. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of “trying” without results, this conversation will give you the tools and encouragement to stop spinning your wheels and start moving forward with confidence.

EP199: Messy Minimalism: Realistic Strategies for the Rest of Us with Rachelle Crawford

Think minimalism means a perfectly curated, always tidy home? Think again. Drowning in tides of toys, overflowing closets, and a crazy schedule, Rachelle Crawford assumed you had to be naturally organized to keep a tidy living space. Then she found minimalism: the messy, real-life kind, that is less about perfection and more about purpose. Becoming a messy minimalist is not about turning into someone else; it's about clearing away clutter and expectations to unearth who you really are. Join me today as I speak with Rachelle about her journey into 'messy minimalism' and how we can inspire those around us to begin their own step into minimalism (whether big or small!)----Show Notes for EP199: Messy Minimalism: Realistic Strategies for the Rest of UsEnjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it! If you enjoyed tuning into this podcast, then do not hesitate to write a review.

People are excited to show their love by giving gifts (especially during the holiday season) but what happens when you receive something that you didn’t ask for or want? Knowing how to accept graciously is a skill that we all should hone; it should be your goal to make sure to respond in such a way that the gift giver knows you genuinely appreciate the gesture- even if the sweater is itchy or the perfume isn’t your signature scent.

EP198: Initiating Stronger Relationships with Our Children with Vanessa Quigley

EP198: Initiating Stronger Relationships with Our Children with Vanessa Quigley

My guess is if you surveyed any mom, she’d likely tell you she desires more intentional time with her child(ren). Whether she’s a working mom or stay-at-home mom, our days fill up fast. Not to mention, as our family grows or, inevitably, as our children grow older, it can be tricky to find the time to intentionally pursue them. Tricky but not impossible. Here today to offer wisdom from her own experience as the mother to seven children is founder of Chatbooks, Vanessa Quigley. She talks about what she’s done to initiate stronger relationships with each of them and how we can apply some of these methods in our own lives.----Show Notes for EP198: Initiating Stronger Relationships with Our ChildrenEnjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it! If you enjoyed tuning into this podcast, then do not hesitate to write a review.

I'm thrilled to introduce you to Justin Whitmel Earley, a father of four teaching parents how to create structure from mealtime to bedtime through creating purposeful habits. You long for tender moments with your children--but do you ever find yourself too busy to stop, make eye contact, and say something you really mean?

His new book, Habits of the Household releases today and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to speak with him about reestablishing rituals, the connection between our children and our habits, and more. ----Show Notes for EP197: Habits of the HouseholdEnjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it! If you enjoyed tuning into this podcast, then do not hesitate to write a review.

EP196: Becoming Intentional with Money Management with Erin Skye Kelly

EP196: Becoming Intentional with Money Management with Erin Skye Kelly

I usually don’t share guest quotes prior to the interview but my guest today, author, Erin Skye Kelly said something that really stuck with me, “Debt Is Clutter.” Debt is clutter and it leads to a lack of freedom. It was this lesson that I had to learn before I began to pursue the purging of material things. Intentionality with my finances came first and the clutter followed. This episode won’t suddenly eradicate your debt but I hope it provides you with tools and inspiration to see that debt freedom is attainable through discipline, but first and foremost, intentionality! ----Show Notes for EP196: Becoming Intentional with Money ManagementEnjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it! If you enjoyed tuning into this podcast, then do not hesitate to write a review.
