Today’s episode touches on the topic of cycles coming to an end, something personally meaningful to me as I announce the closing of this podcast. After five wonderful years, I’ve decided to retire the podcast, a decision that’s been building with little signs and feelings. I explore how life is full of cycles, whether in relationships, jobs, or personal growth, and how accepting these cycles can lead to personal transformation. I share how I recognized the ending of this cycle from body signals and thoughts over time and feel at peace with this decision. I encourage you to recognize and embrace your own cycles, viewing them as opportunities for growth and transformation. I also invite you to stay connected through my newsletter and upcoming workshops, and consider joining my 12-week 'Be the CEO of Your Life' program starting November 19th, a chance for 10 women to build confidence and community. Thank you for your support, and stay tuned for the final episodes.

In this episode, we explore the powerful idea that your brain is not your enemy—it's your greatest ally. However, many of us unknowingly work against our minds, leading to feelings of being stuck, frustrated, and overwhelmed. We dive into the reasons why you may not be using your brain to its full potential, such as a lack of self-awareness, unchallenged beliefs, and not regularly "cleaning" your mind through practices like coaching.
Key Topics Discussed:
● Common Pitfalls: How fear, repetitive patterns, and avoiding responsibility keep you stuck in old mental habits.
● Why Change Feels Hard: Understanding why many believe that change is more uncomfortable than the status quo and how to shift this mindset.
● The Power of Awareness: How self-awareness and questioning your "truths" can transform your relationship with your mind.
● The Glass of Water Analogy: A powerful analogy to illustrate how holding onto mental burdens can become overwhelming over time, just like holding a glass of water that feels heavier the longer you hold it.

Research shows that children of “good enough mothers”, those who are present but at times “fail” their children- are far more likely to be mentally strong, have better self-esteem and are more resilient than the “perfect mothers”.
In this episode, Olga and Katelyn Denning discuss the subject of mom guilt, how to overcome it and how they as working mothers, balance their career and family life.
This episode is honest, to the point and very fun to listen to.

Do it with love or leave it is the episode for YOU if… you end up resenting others when you eagerly raised your hand or offered to help, but now it feels like they’re taking advantage of you.
Or, if you constantly feel frustrated at the things you have to do and the joy of life in those moments seems so far away.
“Do it with love” is a mindset. Like it is, to leave it, delegate it or, postpone it to a time when you can do it with love. Sound easier than it is, but this episode will surely inspire you to getting it done.
Life is so very short, why spend any moment of any task hating?

In this 15-minute episode, I dive into the profound question: "What is your legacy?" This reflection came to me recently, and it has reshaped my understanding of what it means to leave a legacy.
For many, legacy might mean leaving behind something tangible, like a business, wealth, or a collection of accomplishments.

It’s about the moments of connection, the impact we have on others in real time, and the memories we create together.
Join me as I explore:
● The traditional view of legacy and how it differs from being present.
● Personal reflections on why being present is a meaningful legacy.
● How our daily actions and interactions contribute to the legacy we build right now.
● Practical tips for staying present and making each moment count.
This episode is an important reflection on living fully and intentionally. It's a reminder that our legacy is not just what we leave behind, but how we live each day.
Listen now and start reflecting on your own legacy. How are you being present in your life today?
