Do you have a habit that you’ve totally convinced yourself is okay, but you know deep down inside if you made this one little tweak, you could be operating at such a higher level? For me, I knew that I needed to cut back on how many days a week I was drinking alcohol. In order to kick the habit of having a drink in the evening, I’ve started to get creative with mocktails and implement other rituals that help me wind down. I share examples of where this concept might be showing up in your life and offer up solutions that will support you as you step into the version of yourself that you dream of being.

My entire world changed the first time I saw a Sprinkles Cupcake ATM, which is why I’m so excited to share the conversation I had with the woman who came up with the idea and co-founder of Sprinkles, Candace Nelson!

I’m in such a busy season right now and can’t afford to be distracted. I’ve had to become a lot more regimented and thoughtful about the time that I spend on my phone because I’ve noticed that checking a text turns into responding to DMs and scrolling TikTok, which is such a bad habit to get into. Where are you causing yourself more stress and selling your dream by taking yourself out of the zone? Listen in to hear how I’m working on collapsing and expanding time lately.

The common thread between our happiest, wealthiest, and most successful friends is that they all have a daily manifestation or visualization practice. Chris and I find it so important to set a target every single day and stay consistent with action steps that align with those big dreams. Chris breaks down both the woo-woo and logical side of manifestation and I explain why you need to really tune into your truth to make this practice work. Plus, we share a simple way to incorporate it into your routine and track progress.

One of the most powerful monthly practices that I have is to sit down and really go through what’s bogging me down and taking up too much of my mental space. It’s the tiny things done consistently that get you closer to your goals. It doesn’t always have to be a giant, scary leap. So, what’s draining your energy? Do you have to schedule that appointment or send that email that you’ve been avoiding? I promise that taking stock and moving the needle that tiny bit will give you the clarity and boost that you need to keep going.

Next time you need some inspiration to write an Instagram post or a newsletter, or even just have a tough conversation with someone in your life, I have a trick for getting your message across clearly. I want you to try writing yourself a letter from the perspective of the other person. What are their pain points? How has your product, offering, or actions affected them? Find a solution to each thing you can list out and write a letter back to them. I found that this exercise has helped me set boundaries, meet people with more compassion, and get really clear on what I’m responsible for. Try it out and tag me @loriharder on Instagram to let me know if this approach works for you!

Chris and I have always created what we wished existed, and masterminds are no exception. I just got back from a life-changing trip with two women that I formed a mini mastermind group with, and I wanted to break down how you can do the same. I explain where this idea came from, how we’ve built the container to do it, and the non-negotiables that we’ve set for this group. Chris and I also discuss why masterminds are crucial for both personal and business growth, and how to take the first step to create or join one today.

What started off as a satirical blog for millennial women is now a massive multimedia platform and entertainment company, but Aleen and her co-founders have stayed true to their voice and community through it all. Aleen highlights her hiring strategy, how she approaches challenging conversations, and tools for shifting out of the scrappy entrepreneurial mindset and into her role as CEO.

When you start living authentically in every aspect of your life, you’ll magnetize the right people and opportunities into your orbit. This isn’t always an easy and graceful process, but I promise that it’s worth it. When I look back on times when I was feeling stuck and insecure, it’s because I wasn’t allowing my true self to be seen. I share some examples of how I’ve worked through self-doubt, found safety in my authentic self, and experienced amazing rewards for living my truth.

I always say that I’m a graduate of “Google University” because instead of giving up when I don’t know something, I put it right into my search bar and go down the rabbit hole. Everytime we tell ourselves that we can’t do something or don’t have the resources, that’s the exact moment when we strip ourselves of our power. In today’s episode, I share my favorite exercise for formulating questions and discovering answers. I promise that when you start to feel confident in your ability to get inquisitive and figure stuff out, that’s when success starts to compound.

I just got back from the Powerhouse Women event and it was amazing. I had so many moments where I had tears in my eyes watching others rise and be the person that they came here to be. It was fun and it was inspiring. One speaker stood out to me with something she said, so I came home and immediately shared it with Chris and it is what we are talking about in today’s episode.

Lindsey Schwartz puts on this event every single year, and this year is the biggest event that she has done yet, which makes me feel a little nervous about how many people I will be talking to when I am on stage.
I have my stage tricks up my sleeve that have always helped me, and in today’s episode, I want to share them with you. I've been to a lot of different coached speaking events, and I've had speaking coaching myself, and I've practiced, I've made myself go and do it and get the experience and now I want to share that wisdom learned with you.

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.
