Motivation is the word mentioned more than any other on this week’s episode. Why? We often we blame our lack of motivation as the main reason why we don’t follow through or why we have abandoned goals in the past. Motivation is key when it comes to accomplishing any big goal or dream. So how do we build motivation to accomplish our goals? We start by using a framework that guarantees our success - the IMPACT framework will help you set your goals so motivation feels easier.

Your thoughts have the ability to influence your reality. So often we forget or we don’t notice our own thoughts, but the truth is: scientists have discovered that about 85% of your thoughts are negative and 70% of those thoughts repeat constantly.. Our brain is primed to help us survive and belong--even if survival means not living your best life. In today’s episode, Cathy Heller and I discuss what it would look like to embrace rejection, why we don’t want everyone to like us and how we can choose our thoughts, which helps us choose our future.

The biggest mistake people make with their goals is that they don’t set the right goals. Let me phrase that: They don’t set the right goals for themselves. There’s no magic list of goals you need to complete in order to be successful. Goals should be personalized and customized so they are in alignment with your purpose. In today’s episode we’ll talk about how you discover your purpose and how to set goals that are aligned with the vision you have for your future. It’s time to stop living life on repeat and step into the extraordinary life you were designed to live.

Is adversity an advantage? Sometimes it can feel like the deck is stacked against you… but what if that is actually an opportunity to step into becoming your best self? Today’s guest, Chris Norton, personifies the adversity advantage. He believes taking radical responsibility for yourself can allow you to unlock the “power to stand.” Chris was told that he had a 3% chance of ever regaining movement and feeling below the neck. What sounded completely hopeless, he saw as an opportunity to conquer and to step into being the 3%.
