Chris and I are currently reading Sustain Your Game: High Performance Keys to Manage Stress, Avoid Stagnation, and Beat Burnout by Alan Stein. In this week’s He Said She Said, Chris and I share our takeaways from this book and share with you our feelings on stress and how to manage it to create a winner’s mindset. With every decision to let things bother us and weigh us down, we are robbing our future selves of where we're supposed to go because we're robbing the present moment where things can actually happen. The present is where all creativity, ideas and forward momentum come from.

In today’s quickie, I am reminding you that the only way to build your confidence is to challenge yourself and keep those promises you made to yourself.
Where you are right now, in your life, are you lacking confidence? Can you look back at your past week and notice where maybe you haven't shown up for yourself? You haven't done the things that you said you were going to do?
I want to share my trick for taking this in small steps and remind you that all that matters is that you are showing up.

For years Chris and I were yes people, and for years we have watched others “yes” themselves to death. Now, we practice not just saying no to things that do not serve our greater vision and purpose but going beyond that and letting it be okay if we disappoint people by saying no. We have consistently learned from others who have beautiful boundaries to protect and who have thrived by doing so. When you say yes to everything, you water down your message. When you constantly say yes, you take yourself away from your primary vision and the message you want out in the world.

This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Danielle Robay, a TV host and journalist who is currently the host of E!’s While You Were Streaming. She is the creator of the video podcast PRETTYSMART, and the best-selling card game QUESTION EVERYTHING: 52 Cards For Deep(er) Conversation, noted by Forbes as a “game changer”.
Danielle is a big believer in being a self generator and we talk in-depth about putting yourself out there and going for what you want, instead of waiting for someone to bring it to you. We also discuss how there is no failure in entrepreneurship, it's just a pivot that pushes you into the next thing.

Chris and I realized that we’ve gotten too comfortable, and it was making us mentally and physically soft. We’re working on getting our edge back and doing our best to dive right into the discomfort. We break down how we’re living out the message of Micheal Easter’s book The Comfort Crisis: Embrace Discomfort To Reclaim Your Wild, Happy, Healthy Self, and chat about the amazing results that we’ve seen so far. We’re making a conscious effort to become the type of people who embrace every challenge that life throws our way and stop sweating the small stuff.

I was recently listening to an episode of the Ed Mylett Show with Rory Vaden, and they brought up the difference between investing time versus spending time. It’s a simple idea, but it helped me realize that being intentional about what you’re doing and who you’re doing it with isn’t just about streamlining your schedule, but it’s also about moving the needle on your long-term goals and making your life better. I’ve been reflecting on how I’ve been able to apply this to my life and some tangible ways for you to implement it in your life as well.

I’m joined by Patricia Carlin, a payments industry powerhouse and co-founder of Residual Payments. I’m all about finding creative ways to bring in extra income, and becoming a digital payment expert is a great way to do that. Patricia explains exactly what being a payment processor is, how the job works, and what to expect around the workload. She also pulls back the curtain on the earning possibilities for someone who really puts in the work and dedication to their business, and shares her tips for how to land new accounts.
Patricia is upfront about the most common challenges that she sees people struggle with, and how she helps her community break though mindset blocks to create a successful side hustle. She knows firsthand what it’s like to dismantle limiting belief systems and we touch on how she’s learning to embrace the label of ‘powerful woman.’ Chris and I always stress the importance of having multiple streams of income, especially in today’s economy, so listen in to hear about this amazing opportunity!

Even if you love your routine, if your day-to-day stays the same, you can’t stretch and grow into new areas. You need to push yourself to try different experiences and shift your perspective. I love to switch things up by having a conversation with someone new and learning from them. Trying a new activity, workout routine, or being in an unknown environment gives us a better understanding of the decisions that we should make in order to have the life that we want. Tune in to hear what I like to do when I’m feeling stuck and want to shake things up.

Chris and I have been loving our summer here at our lake house in Wisconsin, but when we envisioned our time here, we didn’t take into account some of the extra responsibilities that go into making this dream a reality. Things don’t always go as planned, but learning to embrace the hard work that goes into seeing your vision through makes you stronger and more appreciative of the end result. We discuss what it feels like to have an ‘expectation hangover’ and tools we use to refocus our energy on bringing a vision together.
