In this episode, we’re talking about how to be the kind of leader, partner, parent, and friend that inspires the very best in others—and yourself. You already know how to push, nudge, and motivate yourself. But is the way you are leading yoruself the same way you are showing up for others? And if not, why not? I'm sharing the 7 ways you motivate yourself to be your best and how to start applying these same strategies to others: 1. Keeping people down when they’re struggling 2. Shaming instead of compassion 3. Withholding love until they’re “worthy” 4. Keeping score of their failures 5. Comparing them to everyone else 6. Disappearing when they need support 7. Only celebrating perfection And if you’re curious about how to start upgrading your old, tired strategies to ones that might actually work (without the burnout)—I’ve got resources for you.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on why summer is actually the most dysregulating season of the year for high performers, energy managers, and people pleasers.

In this episode, you’ll learn: Why the lack of routine in summer can trigger nervous system chaos How the Calm AF Scale helps you avoid swinging between hypervigilance and total shutdown What a regulated, grounded summer can look like—and how to create it Important Dates Enrollment for The Calm AF Summer Upgrade: May 23–26 Program Start Date: June 1 Resources: → The Private Podcast Series: From Hyper Achiever to High Performer → The Upgrade Coaching Program → Private 1:1 Coaching Application…

We love the idea of “Let Them.” Let them judge you. Let them walk away. Let them misunderstand you. But when you're actually in it—when someone ghosts you, talks behind your back, or oversteps your boundary—it doesn’t feel empowering. It feels like rejection. Or worse, like you're white knuckling "let themmmmmm" so hard, you think your head might explode. In this episode, I break down what “Let Them” really means (spoiler: it’s not about not caring), how nervous system regulation helps you stop reacting, and why emotional freedom starts with staying anchored in your body—even when you’re angry, hurt, or annoyed. What you'll learn: – Why “Let Them” is more than just a mindset – How to stay regulated when you feel rejected or misunderstood – Why boundaries collapse when you're dysregulated – What it actually looks like to be mad and grounded – How to let people go without losing yourself Mentioned in this episode: → The Private Podcast Series: From Hyper Achiever to High Performer → The Upgrade Coaching Program → Private 1:1 Coaching Application…

Ever wonder why high performers seem to have effortless discipline while you struggle to stick to your habits? It’s not magic—it’s simplicity, consistency, and a commitment to the boring.

You’ll learn: Why you’re overcomplicating your routines and making success harder than it needs to be. Why high performers don’t chase instant gratification—they trust the process.

You want the next-level version of yourself? You have to think like her, act like her, show up as her. But here’s the catch—growth isn’t comfortable. It’s not supposed to be. A couple weeks ago, I spent four days deep in upleveling and shifting mindsets with my bestie, Amanda and over and over, the theme that kept coming up wasn’t the strategy or logistics—it was discomfort. The discomfort of stepping into a bigger vision. The discomfort of letting go of what won’t come with you. The discomfort of doing the things that feel risky, scary, and unknown. Today, we’re talking about why discomfort is actually a green light in your transformation, how to tell the difference between fear of expansion and a genuine red flag, and how to rewire your mindset so you don’t let discomfort keep you stuck. You’re listening to this because you know there’s another level waiting for you. But if discomfort keeps stopping you, it’s time to learn how to move through it instead of avoiding it. Here’s how we can work together to build that skill: Regulated Course – If discomfort keeps knocking you off track, Regulated is a self paced course where you learn how to manage your nervous system so you can take action without spiraling. Speed of Life Session – Need a strategic, high-impact coaching session to get you unstuck now? This is a one-time, focused session to recalibrate your mindset and get you moving immediately.
