Climb Your Mountain

PRE-EPIC SERIES

Thanks so much to everyone who tuned in for my "Do Your Epic Shit Series" last month and offered their feedback.

One thing I'm hearing loud and clear from many of you: This all sounds great ... one day. But I honestly don't feel ready to even start doing hard things!

Friend, that makes so much sense. 

When I think about my clients, very few of them came into coaching ready to immediately storm the ga...

Whether, you're trying to lose 10 pounds, find your person, or sell your first screenplay — we all want to make our dreams happen faster.

This might lead you to rush.

You might set unrealistic timelines.

Try to do all the things at once.

And try to make it happen from a place of urgency.

But the truth is: trying to rush actually slows you down.

You feel more resistance.

More confusion.

There's more internal pressure to do it perf...

Self-care. It's nice for twenty-somethings without kids, elderly parents, patients, students, or a demanding job.

But you? You have responsibilities.

If you don't take care of it all, who will?

Setting boundaries feels so selfish.

Spending time and money on your own happiness feels like taking it from others.

It's almost like what's bad for them is good for you.

Friend, if you're feeling this, I want you to consi...

Do you ever feel lost in your own life?

Losing your direction in life is super common. It can happen at any time, but it's especially normal after big life transitions like a breakup, a graduation, or your kids leaving home.

It can feel heavy, like you have a lot of resistance to starting something new.

And it can also feel overwhelming, like there are too many possibilities to choose from.

Either way, it's no fun.

If you&apos...

Do you feel stuck, like nothing ever changes in your life?

Then ask yourself this question: Where am I NOT taking responsibility for my results?

The answer might not be obvious. 

Your brain loves to protect you from failure, judgment, and negative emotion by giving away your power in sneaky ways.

🧠 Making your kids the reason you don't leave that relationship.

🧠 Making your partner the reason you don't spend money

🧠 Making y...

Have you noticed that when you're hard on yourself ...

You always create exactly what you DON'T want?

If you try to shame and berate yourself into losing ten pounds, you lose two.

And then suddenly something snaps inside you. Now you're eating out of control. And you gain those two pounds back ... and then gain two more!

You might repeat this cycle over and over. 

Each time, you feel more despair and hopelessness. 

Eventua...

You've probably heard that the secret to feeling calmer, getting more done, and living a life you love summed up in two words: TRUST YOURSELF.

But you don't trust your own brain one bit!

Cause your brain is a spaz. 🤪 

Anytime you get a grumpy email from your boss, it tells you you're getting fired.

Anytime your partner seems distant, it tells you they don't love you anymore.

Anytime you get an unexpected bill, it te...

"I'll start that business ... just as soon as things calm down."

"It'll be easier to get my masters ... once my littles are in school."

"I'm going to bike across the wine region of Italy ... just as soon as I retire!"

Have you ever put off a dream because you're waiting for a better time?

You're not alone.

So many of my clients are waiting for "the right time" to start cre...

Time-starved. That was me.

Every morning, I'd make my to-do list. And by the end of the day, it would be LONGER, not shorter.

All day long, I raced from task to task — and then from my home office to my mom's assisted living to the run club happy hour.

If — heaven forbid — I was bored for a minute, I took it as an invitation to dive into my Trello project backlog. (Which was extensive.)

I was constantly in motion. But never q...

Have you ever struggled to do something differently?

Maybe you want to:

💪  Get up and go to the gym in the morning

🧘  Intervene calmly when your partner overloads the dishwasher (again)

✋ Respond to invites with "Let me think about it" (instead of an automatic yes)

Your brain knows there's a better way. But your body resists.

You're so ashamed that you can't just BE DIFFERENT. What's wrong with you?

Friend,...

Inside you lives a Deepest Inner Critic (DIC). 

We call it the DIC, because it really is kind of a D!

It loves to tell you that you’re:

• Not good enough
• Not capable
• Not smart enough
• A failure
• Too much
• Lazy
• Not lovable
• Not seen
• Not heard
• Etc.

You dream of having some kind of magic wand you can wave to shut that DIC up.

You wonder if cult-style brainwashing might actually be the answer.

You’ve also realized that the personal development ind...

Sometimes, life comes at you fast.

Trying to process too much too fast can leave you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and paralyzed.

You tell yourself that things have to slow down at some point. But what if they don't? 

You here a lot on social media about "nervous system regulation" and "gut-brain connection" and "soul-centered living." But you don't have time or energy to dabble in all the late...

Frustrated that your running (or hiking, biking, etc.) times haven’t improved after a year of training? 

You might be making a common mistake—running too fast! 

In this episode, I share why so many endurance athletes get tripped up by the numbers. 

We'll also break down the science to learn how slowing down can actually help you speed up. 

Key Takeaways:

• Why most recreational runners (esp...
