  • 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

What do I desire?”⠀ Action - taking action, instead of sitting in inaction⠀ Reality - the things above will shape your reality⠀ ⠀ Join us for the whole conversation on the podcast.

  • Home grown kale and off the vine tomato for lunch. We converted a sandbox to a veggie patch this summer (at the urging of our son who told us he was done playing in the sandbox) and I’ve been making what I loving call “yard salad” in the days I work from home. Chewie enjoys them too - and, loves a good photobomb. #yardsalad #freshkale #ilovekale #tomato #healthyfood #fatgirlfedupsdietbet #chewiethedog #chiweenielife #chihuahuamix #chewiewerehome #workfromhome #ihavethebestboss #summergarden
