The holidays are my favorite time of the year! But, I know this can also be an overwhelming and stressful time of the year where we have more demands on our time and our energy. So, I’m sharing 4 essential tools that will help you thrive during the holiday season instead of just surviving and getting through it.

This topic is for all of us who play an event over and over and over in our heads when things don’t go the way we hoped they would and find ourselves being just a bit unkind in return. I’m also giving you 4 powerful mindset questions to bring you into self-awareness and stop the self-judgment spiral.

We are all going through some pretty difficult times right now. During these challenging times, it can be so easy to forget about our joy thinking that it will be there waiting for us on the other side once everything is fine. But the truth is, we actually need our joy now, especially during difficult times, more than ever.

Do you remember that phrase: “Failure is not an option”? Yeah, that’s a lie, love. Failure is in fact the ONLY option. Especially if you have big dreams. Tune in to learn my Three F’s of Failure and what you can do to make failure work for you.

Today’s topic is all about those 2 words that hold us back from feeling fulfilled, at peace, happy, and successful in our lives. If you’re waiting until you get “there” to feel those feelings, you’re going to want to check this one out, love.

This is for anyone who is ready to let go. When you know it’s time and you are ready to be free of a limiting belief, a habit, a job, or a relationship but you just can’t seem to release it. There’s 1 key thing we don’t talk about when it comes to letting go and I’m sharing it with you today.

This one’s for the challenging times. Those heavy, difficult moments in life where you’re sensing “bad” feelings, but instead of allowing yourself to really feel those feelings, you’re running away from them. We’re talking about the beauty and importance of leaning in to those feelings and I’m giving you 3 key reminders about processing uncomfortable feelings.

Sometimes when things aren’t going well, we forget that this particular moment is just a chapter in the book of our lives. So, this is for anyone who struggles with being in the present moment.

Comparison is something we all have to navigate in our daily lives and honestly, no one is immune to it. But, most of us haven’t been given the proper tools to truly work our way through these moments. Tune in to learn my 5-step framework to stop comparing yourself to others (even former versions of yourself).

On the self growth & healing journey, it can be really easy to get swept up in how things are “supposed” to be, but the truth is this is YOUR journey, love, and no one knows better than you. Let’s dive deep into 6 common myths about what your self growth journey is supposed to look like, feel like, and what the end result of this “work” is supposed to be.

When we go after a new dream, we head towards a place that makes us pretty uncomfortable — the unknown. Sometimes our fear of being so uncertain on “how” we’re going to get there leads us to trying to figure out a plan, but here’s the thing, love — you can’t create a map to a destination you have not been to yet.

In the final episode of our Courageous Conversations series, I’m sharing my personal story of courage with you. It’s the story of little Shirin, what she believed growing up, what “plans” she had in place, and what choices, changes, and decisions led to the shift that created my coaching business and my dream life.

There are hundreds of dreams within each of us to explore. We can also get locked into a dream just because it’s doing so well or because we’re so good at it. But, love, dreams evolve just as you do and you can even grow out of dreams. It doesn’t mean the dream was wrong, that it was a waste of time, or that you’re wishy-washy. It just means it’s time to release it and allow another dream to take root and grow.

Often with our dreams, our timelines can keep getting pushed back. When the things we really want get delayed, it may feel harder to keep your eyes on your dream. That’s what’s so powerful about April Kayganich’s story: she always knew there would be pivots and shifts in the journey, but that she would one day reach her dream. Her story is one of patience and resilience and doing the damn thing in a way that feels best for you.
