The Power of Daily Affirmations: Speak Courage Into Your Life
In the very first session with my coaching clients, I almost always suggest incorporating daily affirmations. In fact, I love throwing in a weekly mantra during my midweek Inspiration & Motivation podcast to keep that momentum going! Why? Because our thoughts shape who we are. When you intentionally choose positive, uplifting thoughts, you pave the way to living your absolute best life. The Mind-Body Connection I was deeply influenced by the legendary Louise Hay—founder of Ha

The Mindful Minute: A Simple Practice That Changed My Life
Try and make time for the mindful minute🧘🏻♀️ Many moons ago, I felt called to awaken my spiritual side. One of the first books I purchased was Awakening the Buddha Within by Lama Surya Das. The book shares Tibetan wisdom for the Western world and introduces the Buddhist path to enlightenment. If you are looking to broaden your horizons and explore Buddhism, I highly recommend it. Reading that book was the first time I seriously thought about meditation. I was probably in m

When Your Ego Gets Loud… Remember Who You Are
And here’s the thing—your ego isn’t trying to hurt you. It actually believes it’s protecting you. It gathers up all your insecurities, all your past experiences, and tries to keep you “safe” by making you second guess yourself… by keeping you small.

Finding Yourself on the Page: The Quiet Power of Journaling
One day you might open an old journal and read words written by a version of you that you barely remember. The worries. The hopes. The dreams you were chasing at the time. And in that moment, you will be so grateful that you wrote it all down. That is the power of journaling. It captures your thoughts, feelings, and memories before they fade away. It is incredibly therapeutic. It creates time to simply be with yourself and your thoughts. It gives you a space to ask yourself

Trusting Your Inner Knowing: Is It Intuition or Fear?
I recently recorded a Call Me Courage Midweek Inspiration & Motivation episode on Trusting Your Inner Knowing . The heart of the conversation was this question: How do we know whether it’s intuition… or fear? In the episode, I shared a real-life example of how my husband learned to trust his gut in a situation that didn’t feel quite right. But I also wanted to ground the conversation in science — which led me to a fascinating book. I referenced The Intuition Toolkit by neur

The Lies That Protected Me—and the Truth That Set Me Free
If you become a listener of the Call Me Courage Podcast, you will quickly learn that I adore Dr. Brené Brown. As a research professor at the University of Houston, her work on vulnerability, courage, shame, and empathy speaks directly to my soul. Her teachings fit perfectly into my wheelhouse—sharing stories, identifying where courage shows up within them, and offering meaningful takeaways that invite growth and reflection. One of Brené’s most eye-opening concepts is the ide

Detoxing My Mind: How Stepping Back Lets Me Move Forward
Take Time for You Sometimes life hits us with things that stay stuck in our minds — not just in the moment, but lingering in our thoughts and emotions long after we scroll past them. When that happens, it influences how we feel, how we think, and even how we show up in our own lives. I recently realized that my subconscious was carrying more weight than I knew — much of it from constant connection to the news cycle and social media. Hearing about difficult events, frustratio
