I just got back from the Powerhouse Women event and it was amazing. I had so many moments where I had tears in my eyes watching others rise and be the person that they came here to be. It was fun and it was inspiring. One speaker stood out to me with something she said, so I came home and immediately shared it with Chris and it is what we are talking about in today’s episode. Jasmine Star blew my mind when she said “Overwhelm is the abundance of everything you ever wished and prayed for coming in all at once”.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The different kinds of overwhelm How to become a different person as you adjust to having more things come to fruition How to practice gratitude in times of overwhelm How to frame your next hour, day, week or month when overwhelm hits   RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

In this week’s He Said She Said, Chris and I share our takeaways from this book and share with you our feelings on stress and how to manage it to create a winner’s mindset.

The present is where all creativity, ideas and forward momentum come from.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Defining stress and how to prevent it from manifesting into pain and resistance How to get success in your life, and how to stay there once you get it Our best practices and how we shift gears in moments of stress   RESOURCES Sustain Your Game: High Performance Keys to Manage Stress, Avoid Stagnation, and Beat Burnout by Alan Stein Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey Sign up for

For years Chris and I were yes people, and for years we have watched others “yes” themselves to death. Now, we practice not just saying no to things that do not serve our greater vision and purpose but going beyond that and letting it be okay if we disappoint people by saying no. We have consistently learned from others who have beautiful boundaries to protect and who have thrived by doing so. When you say yes to everything, you water down your message. When you constantly say yes, you take yourself away from your primary vision and the message you want out in the world.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why you shouldn't say yes to every opportunity and should only say yes to what serves your agenda. We discuss the side effects of “yessing” yourself to death If you don’t get an immediate answer to a request, it doesn't mean to stop asking. We discuss how to not take it personally How and why it is harder for women to turn down opportunities and how women can overcome the fear of saying no How people r

We also discuss how there is no failure in entrepreneurship, it's just a pivot that pushes you into the next thing.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Feeling uncertainty and financial instability while working towards your dream, and the pressure felt to create a different life Having more value to offer when you go ahead and do something yourself rather than waiting for someone else to offer it to you Tools for asking yourself what is the worst-case scenario that could happen, in times of stres

Chris and I realized that we’ve gotten too comfortable, and it was making us mentally and physically soft. We’re working on getting our edge back and doing our best to dive right into the discomfort. We break down how we’re living out the message of Micheal Easter’s book The Comfort Crisis: Embrace Discomfort To Reclaim Your Wild, Happy, Healthy Self, and chat about the amazing results that we’ve seen so far.

I was recently listening to an episode of the Ed Mylett Show with Rory Vaden, and they brought up the difference between investing time versus spending time. It’s a simple idea, but it helped me realize that being intentional about what you’re doing and who you’re doing it with isn’t just about streamlining your schedule, but it’s also about moving the needle on your long-term goals and making your life better. I’ve been reflecting on how I’ve been able to apply this to my life and some tangible ways for you to implement it in your life as well.     IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Thinking about the ROI of your time  Reflecting on ways that you might be giving away your time without getting anything in return  How the most successful business leaders invest their time  Why Chris and I consider our lake house a true investment in our future success, happiness, and wellbeing    RESOURCES Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey audiobook  The Ed Mylett Show - Building A Powerful Personal Brand w/ Ro

Even if you love your routine, if your day-to-day stays the same, you can’t stretch and grow into new areas. You need to push yourself to try different experiences and shift your perspective.

We all have fears, but how can you use them to propel you forward instead of hold you back? All you have to do is choose which fear you're going to feed and let that be the fuel that motivates you to achieve your big goals.    Chris and I discuss what fears really drive us, and how we use that to stay focused without letting it overwhelm us. We feel so fortunate to live the life that we do now and show up for our friends and family in ways that we never could’ve dreamed of, and the thought of all that going away is enough to kick us into high gear.

Most of us don't need to be adding things to our plate right now. In fact, taking things off your to-do list can actually help you make time for the people and experiences that really matter. When you scroll on social media, it can feel like everyone is doing more than you, but how can you look for ways to create value and fulfillment from doing less? I’ve found that taking a step back has magically expanded time and made me even more productive when I need to be in that mode. I want to challenge you this week to do less and give yourself time to connect with something or someone you love.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Reflecting on spending quality time with family and friends in Wisconsin  Detaching your self-worth from how busy you are  How you can actually get more done by doing less Evaluating if your routines are actually making you more stressed    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!
