Sometimes no matter what we do, life throws us curve balls. Recently, I found myself back in the hospital (I had spent 13 days there last year) in a pretty scary situation. I felt a whole range of emotions, from fear to frustration to disappointment to overwhelm, and even some helplessness. 😣
Because of the years and years of training I’ve had to help others and of me having my own life coach, I was able to manage in what I consider a mentally healthy way.
Instead of spiraling into anxiety, fear and overwhelm, I leaned on three powerful life coaching tools to stay calm, process my emotions, and get through it with more ease. I come on this week (from the hospital, so please excuse the audio!) to highlight them for you so you can find ease when life goes upside down for you.
In this episode, I walk you through:
– The What If? CBT tool and how it shifts anxious thoughts
– The Zoom In, Zoom Out method to gain perspective
– Clean pain vs. dirty pain and why it matters
All of us face uncertainty and things that are out of our control (especially now 😬). These life coaching tools really work. Humaning can be hard yet learning these (and using them) are what I use when things go bad. Listen in to this episode of the Love Your Life Show to help you navigate life’s challenges with more peace and confidence. Learn how to take control of your mindset—even in the hardest moments.
Job loss, health diagnoses, teenage drama, marital problems, divorce, you name it, I’ve used these tools for it. 💙

7 Losing Strategies in Marriage and Parenting Teens on Apple Podcast
Warriors! I am so excited to bring you this episode. Earlier this month, I went to a perimenopause and menopause training with top experts like Dr. Mary Clare Haver, Dr. Kelly Casperson, Dr. Louise Newson, and Dr. Vonda Wright. Two big things jumped out at me from the full day of training while surrounded by thousands of other women and I share them with you today.
We’ve been told a lot of things about menopause—most of them wrong. In this episode, I’m breaking down the biggest myths (spoiler: high-intensity workouts aren’t the answer, low-fat diets aren’t helping, and wine isn’t a healthy food). Plus, I’ll share small, doable shifts that can make a huge difference in your energy, brain health, and long-term well-being. If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause—or just want to set yourself up for a strong, vibrant future—this one’s for you!
Listen in, and let’s get you feeling amazing at every stage of life. 💛
