You guys know I talk a lot about unleashing your inner bad ass warrior.

But what the heck does that even mean??

I mean, it's nice to say and all, and it sounds cool, but seriously, how do you go from just living your life, going through the motions, following all the rules, to stepping into your bad ass warrior identity? Especially if you don't feel much like a bad ass warrior.

Sister... I got your back. 

Which is why today I'm going through the 11 steps, or the 11 commandments if you will, of owning your inner bad...

I had such an interesting conversation with one of my clients the other day; it had me both surprised, and also really wanting to write this for you today. 

She told me how she was really enjoying going on these long, 3-5 mile walks lately. But as she said it, she was sort of chuckling to herself. 

When I asked her why she was giggling, she told me her reason for loving those walks was really kind of ridiculous and embarrassing. Of course now I had to know.

"It's because I've been daydreaming."

What??

"It's because...

Raise your hand if you consider yourself to be an overachiever...

maybe you did well in school,

maybe you were the class pet and always messed up the grading curve (oops), 

maybe you excel in your career and moved quickly up the success ladder.

Or maybe you're a high achiever in your social life.

Do you show up to every party and hold court as the perfect guest or the charming host?

Does everyone envy your partner of choice. 

Does your house look pristine any time a guest shows up?

There are lots of ways to be an...

Who here, on a daily basis, legitimately feels the anchors in their life holding them back?

The labels that have been put on you by others...

Expectations from your family...

A quick fix mentality...

Comparison living...

Perfectionism...

Who here is still tired even if they get a full night’s sleep?

Who NEEDS coffee in the morning to function?

Who craves sweets in the afternoon as your energy slumps?

Believe me, I used to be right there with you...

And unfortunately, we live in a world where low energy is considered a "normal" part of adulthood, and we only ever attempt to fix the symptoms, not the root cause. 

I can think of no better example than myself. I lived with chronic...

Who wakes up every morning and goes through the motions of their day?

Who looks at their life and sometimes wonders with bafflement how did I get here?

Who walks around feeling utterly detached from their life, even from the good stuff?

CALLING ALL PERFECTIONISTS!!

I have a story for you that I think is important for you to hear, so listen up...

I was on a coaching call with a client this past week, who was struggling with the nutrition part of her program.

She was having  a hard time with knowing what to eat, how much to eat, and with figuring out what was really healthy versus what was just good marketing (a fair concern).

She talked about how she had done so many diets before that didn't work, that didn't last,...

I already know what you're thinking. You're thinking I'm going to give you some planning tip, scheduling tactic, or organizational strategy to help you find more productivity in your day.

In the eloquent words of The Grinch... WRONGOOOOOO!

Now if we've met before, you know type A organization turns me on. File folders? Oh yeah. Notebooks? That's the stuff. Day planners? Give em to me.

But I'm not going to talk to you about all those sexy tools and gadgets.

Why? Because YOU KNOW...

Distraction. It can come in so many forms...

Your kids vying for your attention while you're trying to meal prep.

Social media as you try to dig into a good book.

An interesting tv show as you're getting ready to head to the gym.

Your partner making sexy eyes at you even though you promised yourself this was going to be study time.

Your boss asking for you to do "that one thing" while you're trying to finish the last "one thing" he asked for.

In an age where your smart phone...
