  • One of my favorite things about the beach? Collecting sand crabs. These here are big ones. I love wading in the water with my son and his cousins and getting buckets of little crabs. Then we release them and start again. Zoom has started calling me a “Crazy Crab Lady.” 😂 #sandcrab #summer18 #vacation🌴 #pacificsandcrab #emeritaanaloga #molecrab #beachcomber #sandcrabs #sandiegolife #inmyhand #bucketofcrabs #sandflea
  • Consume less and make more⠀ In looking back over some of my past episodes, Logan Nickelson from Season 1 stands out as someone who embraces “Essentialism” wholeheartedly.⠀ ⠀ Logan creates an original piece of music each week, and explained to me how he does this, using “Creative Minimalism” to set himself hard deadlines that means he gets his work out the door. I invite you to go back and take a listen to this interview - Logan is a musician, new biz owner, content marketer & strategist, and he's got a lot of inspiration for you :). Go listen -at https://buff.ly/2lml5qb (link is also in my profile).

  • A week at the beach is good for the soul. This is me, age 46, wearing a hat my son (age 7) keeps telling me to take off. I’m wearing a tankini and have stopped caring what anyone might think of my body which is always beach ready, lol, or, ready to go to the beach. I love the sun until I’ve had too much and this year discovered the sheer pleasure of sitting on a beach chair under an umbrella. I love the beach cities of California and always have. Thank you San Diego. 🎉💕🐳🌊 #beachlife #beachhairdontcare #bighatdays #thisis46❤️👠 #thisis46bitches #beachbody #beachparty #sandiego #summer18 #weekatthebeach #jumpstartyourjoy #beachreadyallthetime #billabongwomens
  • Right size the effort.⠀⠀ One of best tips I’ve heard as an entrepreneur is to focus on “right sizing the effort” - and it’s one that ties in with this week’s episode about Essentialism in a big way. ⠀ Take a look at what you’re doing for your business or at work..⠀⠀ Does it get results, in a measurable way? (Keeping in mind that “it’s fun and I like it" is a fair way to measure something).⠀⠀ If it does, keep doing it.⠀⠀ If it’s not getting results and you don’t like doing it? It might be time to reconsider if it’s worth the time you’re putting towards it.⠀⠀ I want you to right size the effort so you’re spending time on things that matter, that work, and that you like to do.⠀⠀ If something doesn’t hit those marks, then you have full and total permission to “let that sh*t go.”⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ @whenIgrowupcoach 💖 you!!

  • Focus on the essential few instead of the trivial many⠀ This week on the podcast, I’m talking all about Essentialism - In a recent Google Talk, Greg McKeown explained his philosophy, especially around the importance of essential few:⠀ “Build a life based on the voice inside instead of the noise outside. Learn to discern what is essential; the vital few from the trivial many, that we can make micro-adjustments to the things we do often, to take the steps to the life that is truly essential down the path. ⠀ Life is fast and full of opportunity, and the complication is that we feel we have to do everything.⠀ We can make a different choice. We can learn to eliminate the non-essentials, and as a result of that, live a life that really matters.”⠀ ⠀ Tune in to my podcast this week to listen to the whole episode - link is in my profile, or at https://buff.ly/2ucPNbU⠀ ⠀ #essentialism #lessismore #lessbutbetter #proactive #gsd #getshitdone #makemoves #beEpic #lifeunleashed #gregmckeown #jumpstartyourjoy #podcastersofinstagram #podcast⠀ #entrepreneurmotivation #entrepreneurquotes #livelifetothefullest #motivationalquotes #hustle #alwayshustle #killingthegame #letsgetit #alwaysworking #mindsetiseverything #successmindset #projectmanager #inspiration
  • In this week's solocast, I'm sharing about the profound impact the book "Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less" by Greg McKeown has had on my life. As a project manager and a life coach, I love that this book is both pragmatic on one level, and very philosophical and inspirational on the other. The thing that I think is the most groundbreaking about McKeown’s book, and that apply to the art of GSD (getting ‘stuff done) and leading an impactful and fulfilling life are: ⠀ ⠀ 1. Doing less, but better, or in other words, “doing the essential few instead of the trivial many”⠀ 2. Building in room for down time, which also gives you the space and time to prioritize your time⠀ ⠀ Tune in to my podcast this week to listen to the whole episode - link is in my profile, or at https://buff.ly/2ucPNbU⠀ ⠀ #essentialism #lessismore #lessbutbetter #proactive #gsd #getshitdone #makemoves #beEpic #lifeunleashed #gregmckeown #jumpstartyourjoy #podcastersofinstagram #podcast⠀ #entrepreneurmotivation #entrepreneurquotes #livelifetothefullest motivationalquotes #hustle #alwayshustle #killingthegame #letsgetit #alwaysworking #mindsetiseverything #successmindset #projectmanager #inspiration
