Life Audit: Designing an Intentional Life

I can't stop talking about my life audit. I went from emotionally burnt to a crisp to reinvigorated, positive, and ready to realign and reprioritize my focus and live more intentionally and mindfully. So...what is a life audit? What was my approach? And why is it feeling like a life raft right now? 

Asking myself the BIG questions

It's the end of the year, so I'm getting super reflective and looking ahead to the new year. This week I'm gabbing about the big questions I'm asking myself in order to figure out what I really want from life (beyond just next year) so I can figure out the steps and changes I need to make to get there. 

Burnt out and dead tired, but still showing up

This week I'm gabbing about burnout. At 28, my career feels like a cage. I feel anchored to a job and a lifestyle that doesn't fuel me or fill my soul, yet I feel equally aimless and unsure what my next move could be. But I'm also too tired to push myself in a new direction. Welcome to my burnt to a crisp era. 

It could be worse (and why that's not helping)

Certain phrases spark unbridled anger. For me, that's "it could be worse." Instead of staying upset about it, I'm taking a deeper look at why this phrase gets under my skin and why I think it's time we take this phrase out of our vocabulary.

Body Image, Emotional Eating & Weight Loss

This week I'm gabbing about my long history with emotional eating, my relationship with food, struggles with eating disorders. How I'm making sense of all of that alongside my body image and weight loss journey and where acceptance, self-love, body positivity, and rejecting peer pressure fits in to the mix. 

The Mind-Body Connection

This week I'm gabbing about struggles with confidence and getting out of my own head, how movement improves my focus and energy, and why I think my hip pain might be linked to stress. 

Me, My Codependency, & I

This week I'm gabbing about some of my codependency origins and how they're haunting me in the present. Where do I think some of these self-destructive habits came from? Why are they so hard to break away from? How do I keep moving forward when all my old patterns are trying to pull me backwards? 

Stress & Listening to Your Body

I'm gabbing about the struggles of listening to your body and finding work/life balance when the stress and chaos of the week doesn't really allow for it. And I talk more about boundaries and the power of saying no. 

Gratitude, Perspective, & Love for the Little Things

I'm gabbing about why I think I have such a hard time expressing gratitude and shifting my mindset around I do have vs. what I don't have. I also fangirl over the new season of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

Focus, Charlie Sheen, & Accountability

This week I'm gabbing about me week of intense focus, ranting about Charlie Sheen - someone I never thought I would need to discuss in my life - and how accountability deserves recognition and grace.
