Earn Your Happy Podcast | Motivation | Self-love | Entrepreneurship | Confidence | Fitness And Life Coaching With Lori Harder

Danielle Canty, co-founder of bossbabe, joins me on the show today to discuss what burnout is and how to combat it. Burnout is something that so many people, especially entrepreneurs, suffer from, but we don’t have to accept it and suffer the effects.    We dive into the two main reasons behind burnout, why it’s so important to get out of your routine, and our go-to tools for tapping into the power that you have within you to create change in your life. We’re inviting you to take a look at what you’re committing to, what you’re saying no to, and where you’re making choices that truly recharge your soul. Make sure you tag us on Instagram and let us know your biggest takeaways from this conversation!    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Our recent experiences with burnout and how we’re working on getting out of that funk Recognizing the responsibility that you have to yourself and the people around you to practice self-care  The difference between resting and recharging Amazing business results that we’v

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. What’s the thing that keeps you going when you feel like you can’t anymore? Always remember that and use it to your advantage.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The power of visualizing the life that you want and being unapologetic about it Recognizing if it’s the excitement of having nice things or the fear of not having them that makes you take action Appreciating the freedom we have in our country to pursue our boldest dreams  Tangible ways to reimagin

Chris and I are joined by Dean Graziosi, a multiple New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, and investor. You might remember when Dean came on the show last year to speak about exploring the self education industry. We’re so excited to have him back on again to expand on that further and share some tools for thriving in this upcoming economy.    We’re strong believers in educating and bulletproofing yourself for whatever might happen in the future. Dean, Chris, and I discuss how to find new opportunities that are opening up right now, ways to shift your current messaging, and the power of monetizing your life experience. We get into common mindset challenges that Dean sees his clients facing and how he helps them rethink selling as serving. Plus, he dives into what people can expect from his free Time to Thrive Challenge and his top tips for how to get the most out of the course.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Historical examples of wealth and businesses being created times of economic rec

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!

During your downtime, do you catch yourself thinking about what you should be doing instead? Chris and I are working on shifting our language around those thoughts when they creep up and soaking up this time that we have in Wisconsin with our friends and family. It can be so easy to become the thief of your own peace by constantly focusing on what you should be doing to make more money and hit bigger goals. But, it’s so important to give yourself a break and enjoy the fruits of your labor. If you don’t, then why are you even hustling in the first place?    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Recognizing when you’re sabotaging your own joy and peace  Looking at enjoyment as a sign that you'll be able to collapse time when you tap back into work mode Why making a better life is usually taking away things, not adding more to your to-do list An eye-opening journaling exercise from Four Thousand Weeks that really helped us get clear on our priorities    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litep

You might recognize today’s guest as Josh from the hit Nickelodeon show Drake and Josh, or maybe you’ve seen his hilarious, viral social media videos. Josh Peck has recently added another accolade to the list: published author! We discuss the inspiration behind his memoir Happy People Are Annoying and why he wanted to write a self-help book from the perspective of someone who is still trying to figure it all out. He reflects on some pivotal moments in his life, how his relationship with acting has changed since his days as a child star, and how he nurtures a sense of curiosity and gratitude in his everyday life.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What keeps Josh motivated and present, particularly as an actor  Accepting that everything will work out, just maybe not in the way that you thought it would  How Josh has redefined what confidence looks and feels like to him  The importance of working hard, but also taking care of yourself in the process  Josh’s go-to tools for combatting his need for certa

There are two main tools that I use to lift myself up and change my mood when I’m feeling overwhelmed. I like to make sure that I have scheduled things to look forward to and that I’m prioritizing time with the community that I really want to invest in long term. Lately for me that looks like getting out onto the water and surfing, and spending time with people who make me feel fulfilled, content, and supported. I share examples of activities that you can do to take your stress levels down and create a sense of community. It’s not always easy, but these are the two things that really help me live a more balanced, present life.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Finding a sense of peace, purpose, and connection  Doing activities that force you to set goals and focus  Groups that you can join or create to build your community  Giving yourself time to develop friendships    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

No matter what you're facing, what your uphill battle is, or what you're afraid of, we promise that there are always solutions out there一you just haven't found them yet. Chris and I have been reflecting on all the times that we thought we had hit a dead end, but came up with a bold alternative by changing up our mindset or environment. We can’t guarantee that you’ll like the solution or it’ll be easy, but you’ll unlock power and resilience that you didn’t even know existed  inside of you.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Choosing to believe that there’s always a way through whatever challenge you’re facing  Accepting that you don't have to like the solution, you just have to like that it'll solve your problem  Examples of how this is showing up in our lives and businesses right now  The reality of what it means to pivot   RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

I’m joined by one of my rockstar Lite Pink investors Kelly Kussman to talk about our exciting collab coming out tomorrow! Kelly is the founder of Cayla Gray, a luxury perfume and candle company, and we worked together to create a scent that captures the feel of drinking an icy glass of Rosé in the sparkling summer sun. When I wear Rosé Summer, I’m immediately transported back to when I was on a yacht on the Amalfi Coast, feeling the breeze in my hair, and smelling the salt in the air.    Kelly and I dive into our collaboration process and talk about how we worked together to create a visceral experience with Rosé Summer. She breaks down the difference between white labeling, private labeling, and starting a product-based business from scratch. She shares her tips for how to build your audience from the ground up and what her vision is for the future of Cayla Gray.

Nothing matters until you make it matter, good or bad. It can be so easy to spiral and focus your energy on things that are frustrating, upsetting, or just generally keeping you down. On the flip side, if you want to prioritize something, you have to be super intentional about that and make sure that you’re giving it the attention that it deserves. I’m trying to become a master of focusing my time and energy where it serves me best, enjoying my downtime, and being present with the people that I love. I’ll always be a work in progress, but the more that I can let things go and hone in on what matters, the more I can live in alignment and reach my goals.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Tips for staying present when it feels like there’s an endless to-do list  What Chris and I like to do when we’re feeling like our energy is being depleted  The importance of taking your attention away from things that drain you and moving it to something that fills you up  Examples of how to make your relationships mat

There are so many people that hold themselves back from their big business idea, side hustle, or career change because they feel like you don't have the necessary business skills. Chris and I are here as living proof that you don’t need an MBA or tons of experience to live your dream. Honing in on your soft skills and emotional intelligence will get you to where you want to be, and we’re pinpointing some of our top underrated skills that have helped us succeed in business.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How being a savvy consumer can be an advantage as an entrepreneur  Chris’s even-keeled responses to the highs and lows of business  My process for reeling in my immediate reactions in stressful situations  The most effective traits of successful founders and CEOs    RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

I’m joined by AJ Vaden, the CEO and Co-Founder of Brand Builders Group, one of the world’s leading authorities on personal brand strategy. We dive into what it means to have a personal brand and address some of the common misconceptions that people have around the idea. AJ emphasizes the importance of shifting the focus to who you really are, not just relying on your professional title to tell your whole story. She details some fascinating discoveries that her firm made through the first-ever US study on the state of personal branding, and shares the current trends she and her team are seeing in marketing. Plus, she breaks down the four most important questions that you need to get really clear on before launching your personal brand and gives her top tips about where to start that process.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Creating a monetization plan for your reputation What motherhood has taught AJ about personal branding  Why your comfort will ultimately hold you back from your calling  AJ’s proce

If you're procrastinating and putting off your big goal because you want it to be perfect, that's just another version of an excuse. That might sound harsh, but it’s something I wish I would’ve heard when I was sitting in a lot of resistance. I’ve realized that it’s better to do whatever it takes to get the job done, and then learn on the other side. If you have to do more research and drag out your launch, it means you probably shouldn't be teaching it because you haven’t lived it yet. I promise that it’s better to condense your timeline, make yourself do it, and get your idea out there ASAP.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Reflecting on times when I was struggling with my inner perfectionist and hesitant to release my work  How to know when you’re releasing the right content  My challenge to everyone when it comes to getting projects done What you’ll learn in our new Be Online course    RESOURCES Thanks a Little Passports for supporting my show.

Lauren and I are celebrating a huge business milestone and reflecting on the crazy process of redesigning my personal website and the Lite Pink website. We discuss what we learned about ourselves when we were up against tight deadlines and share how we stayed focused when it felt like there were a million things going on at once.    We also chat about a question that a listener sent in about how I phased out previous businesses before launching Lite Pink. After what Chris and I went through in the ‘08/’09 recession, I will always preach having multiple streams of income and getting your bank account to a place that feels good before going all-in on your big dream. I share some creative ways that I’ve been able to do that and also give advice about monetizing your online influence.   IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The best way to reset your workday and limit distractions  How I decided to let go of certain income streams My top recommendation to people who want to fully commit to their big idea  How

Chris and I were coaching separate groups recently, and when we came together to talk about how the sessions went, we realized a lot of entrepreneurs are facing four similar challenges. We’ve noticed that many business owners are up against an audience problem, they’re not providing value to their audience, their content is stale, or they’re comparing their chapter one effort to someone else’s chapter nine results. It’s so powerful to hear the truth and bring some self awareness around what’s really holding you back, and we hope that this conversation can shine a light on how you can reach your true potential.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Growing your audience in accordance with the size of your goals Examples of how we add value to our audience before we ask them for anything in return What we notice about our social media numbers when we put out original, fun content  Our perspective on healthy comparison  The number one move that helps jumpstart your growth    RESOURCES Want to learn the truth

I’m joined by Jenna Kutcher, author of the new book How Are You Really, and host of The Goal Digger Podcast. Jenna’s book is a guided journey through asking yourself how you really are, who you really are, and what kind of life you really want. Jenna and I discuss how to become more aligned with your true purpose, understand who you are as you’re developing, and show up as your whole self in everything that you do.    I’ve always admired how fierce Jenna is with her boundaries and how she protects her peace in such a loving way. We dive into how she copes with people pushing back on her limits and she shares her incredible template that has allowed her to say ‘no’ in a kind, gracious way. We talk about the concept of having a ‘Year of Yes’ and Jenna offers up a unique and inspiring spin on the idea. Tune in to hear our conversation about celebrating your ambitions, enjoying the journey to success, and so much more.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The amazing abundance that Jenna experienced when she cut

One of the most common questions that I get from listeners who are trying to build their platform is how to become valuable enough so that people with more influence actually want to return the favor or collaborate. I’m not going to lie, it requires you going the extra mile and finding creative ways to stand out from the crowd, but I promise that the time and energy you put in will pay off. There are three main things that people want when they’re looking for an equal energy exchange, and in today’s episode, I break down what those are, plus a couple of bonus ones. I also share my top tips for how to approach communication with people you want to collab with and some of my personal experiences with getting on someone’s radar.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Why you shouldn’t take it personally if you don’t get the response you want from someone you want to connect with  Understanding perceived value  What it means to value stack, and how you can implement that into your life  My advice for posting Reel

What do you feel like is totally out of reach for you, and why? Maybe it’s hosting an event, launching a product, or adding on another service to your line up, but regardless of what arena you’re in, my number one piece of advice is to start small and scale from there. Lauren and I share examples of what it looks like to fine tune your idea and make it small enough so that you can get it off the ground. We discuss the importance of tapping into your message, audience, and marketing, and finding a through line that lets you show up as your authentic self in everything that you do. Plus, we recap what’s been going on with Lite Pink and our lives outside of work recently!    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Different avenues to reach your goals without taking huge risks  How to get people interested in your idea  Why we love collaborating with other people and small, local businesses  What a white-label product is and why you should look into it if want to get into the products-based business space  The thre

The human experience, especially as an entrepreneur, can feel like a never-ending roller coaster. I recently had a day where I was feeling super low and in my head about the direction of my life, but I was able to snap out of it by talking to our new neighbors and sharing my business experience. Chris and I have realized that we’re happiest when we’re living our purpose, which for us means building something, working hard, and creating meaningful experiences with people that we love. By getting out of my own world and helping uplift someone else, I inevitably feel better and start climbing to the top again.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Learning how to integrate more enjoyment along with work What it feels like when we spiral and we’re in this temporary false reality  The immediate mood shift that happens when you’re of service to someone else Details about the launch of our new course     RESOURCES Text BULLETPROOF to 310-421-0416 to take advantage of Early Access VIP pricing of our new course!
