#35: Navigating a Major Life Event With Ease

I’m excited to share my latest adventures with you, and today's topic is one that’s close to my heart—choosing your thoughts and showing up as your best self.

In this episode, I get real and personal about my recent move and all the chaos that came with it. Imagine movers showing up a day early, a bank account mysteriously dipping into negative six figures, and our washing machine giving up the ghost—all within a span of a few weeks. Yep, things got intense! But this isn’t just about my moving saga; it’s about how I managed to keep my cool and navigate these challenges with positive thinking and deliberate action.

I explore the concept of managing your mind and thoughts, a skill that I've cultivated over the years through coaching. You'll hear how I tackled each of these 'situations' (because they're not problems if you choose to think differently) and the mantra I kept repeating: "It is not a problem. We are going to find a solution."

One of the key takeaways is the importance of deliberately choosing your thoughts. As I say in the episode, "Choosing how you want to think about something will change your life." I look at practical ways to shift from a victim mentality to proactive problem-solving using the five sage powers: curiosity, empathy, innovation, big picture thinking, and laser-focused action.

Whether you're dealing with your own move or just everyday obstacles, this episode is packed with tips on how to show up as your most empowered self. So tune in, take a deep breath, and remember that you have the power to choose your thoughts and transform your life.

Au revoir and talk to you soon!
