  • Back in September Lori gave me an ultimatum. We decided we were going to put things in motion to have our new home in California as home base. We recently had the best Monday morning enjoying the view of the ocean and spent the beginning of our day how we wanted. Reflecting on it we realized it’s taken months of work and keeping ruthless boundaries to make it happen. In this episode, we share the big and “small” choices it’s taken to design our ultimate Mondays. When you intentionally design happy days, those days add up to a happy life.



    HIGHLIGHTS

    Some bold moves we’ve made recently to live a life we love.

    Boundaries you need to keep to have more freedom in your life.

    Why you HAVE to take care of yourself before you pour into others.

Tune in for some scripts you take and make your own.

  • If you want to attract more people and opportunities into your life and business, then it’s time to raise your frequency! We just wrapped up 2 back to back events, our first Dinner Series event and Lori’s Girlfriends & Business, and I am so full of energy. Lori and I left the Dinner Series and both said this is our favorite event we’ve ever done. As we witnessed some of our favorite people connecting in the room, there is something the people who always get the most out of networking events have in common. They are high vibe and operate at a frequency that is exciting and attracts people and opportunities like a magnet! If you have something you are manifesting and want to attract into your life, see what happens when you raise your frequency and become attractive to the things you want. You might be surprised how quickly you see things shift in motion towards you.

  • I just got back from the guys trip I take every year and I almost didn’t go. Why is it that we resist doing things we know we need or are going to enjoy? Like getting a great workout in at the gym, taking the trip, or showing up at the mastermind you invested in. Lori and I both share examples of times we've felt this way but always end up glad we pushed through it. We also share the exercise to play the potential experience out to the end in your mind and look for past examples of how great it turned out, so you can tell the difference between what’s meant for you and will be so fulfilling when you put in a little effort. Don't let that resistance rob you of opportunities for growth, fun, and connection!

    00:30 100 reasons why I thought about canceling my guy's trip, and what happened when I went.
