Success After Excess

Welcome to this week's episode and thank you all choosing to spend some time with me today! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it! I hope that your week is off to an amazing start and that you are safe and sound. This week I wanted to touch on something crucial and despite the title, it's nothing to do with the ball park.... it IS however to do with the people in our lives, no matter our level of interaction with them.  Bottom line is we can't win 'em all and what I mean is, we cannot make everyone happy. Not only is it not our job, It is literally IMPOSSIBLE!  I hope that you enjoy today's podcast and I look forward to checking in again next week! Until then, all the best!

Hey everyone and welcome back for this weeks episode! Thank you as always for tuning in! It's been a time... Covid hit our house and today is the first day in a near MONTH.... YES A MONTH, that the entire family is finally able to be out and back to our regular activities. This past time has been filled with lots of laughs, Super Mario Bros, baking and in all honesty, some truly challenging moments and days.  That being said, despite not always winning, there is one tool that does have a huge impact and that is coming at things from a place of gratitude. It doesn't only allow for an improved mindset, but it has a ripple effect on everything else. It is literally the best bang for your buck so to speak in helping to shift things and turn things around!  With that, I hope that you enjoy this episode and I hope that you're doing well!  Also before I go, I have been looking for more ways to make our experience here more interactive as I would LOVE to get to know you all better! I would love to hear

Hello and happy Monday! How are we all doing today? I hope very well!  The last number of weeks here have been trying and that's the 100% truth. Covid came to visit our house and now that we are a week out from being done quarantine (2 separate quarantines that is on account of some household members testing negative), I can tell you that the countdown is on!  With 2020 coming to a close, I have been continuing to keep my focus on where I am heading... where I see myself during the rest of our current circumstances, as well as where I will be after them. Hence today's topic of 'Action Plan' Without an action plan, our minds can take over and trust me, they will take us to places that we don't want to go. If we let our minds run wild, then they will and we will likely feel that our lives are following a suit, Having an action plan in place, and a touch of gratitude despite our circumstances, we WILL not only find a way out the other side of this, but we can also come out of this stronger and ready to

Hello and welcome back!! Thank you for tuning in and I hope that your week is off to an incredible start! I know that last week was a little heavy and after some thought, I wanted to talk about some strategies that you can use to help cope with the cut so to speak. Creating change in our lives isn't always easy but I promise you that it's worth it! Have a great day and thank you for choosing to spend some time here today!

Hello and happy Monday! How are we all doing this week? I hope amazing!!  So... today I wanted to talk about something that is near and dear to me and can be a challenge to say the least... today I wanted to talk about not only the importance but also the necessity of "Taking out the trash" Literally it's always a good idea. but figuratively it is as well.  When I talk about taking out the trash, I am talking about people, places, things, thought patterns and or experiences that do not serve you, rob you of your happiness, diminish you as a person and so on. This can be a hard thing to do... trust me... it is something that I am still working on.  People can and will challenge your actions and make you question your boundaries and make you feel as though you're dong something wrong... perhaps holding a grudge but I'm here to tell you that that's their own baggage and you, you are 100% entitled to hold that boundary strong!!  I hope that you enjoy todays episode, thank you for listening and

Hello all and welcome to this weeks episode!  Today I am getting straight to the point with insanity. I can tell you that I spent heaps of time stuck in repetitive cycles of insanity and they absolutely ruled my world. Thankfully, we don't have to live in these overwhelming and damaging cycles! There are healthy ways out once we recognize how and where insanity crops up in our lives! I hope that you enjoy and thank you as always for stopping by! All the best!

Hello everyone and welcome back for this weeks episode of Success After Excess! I am VERY excited for this one!! Ever remember hearing the phrase "Practice makes perfect!" Well guess what?!?! IT'S A LIE!!!!!  When I came to understand that I had been being fed such a dose of unrealistic standards, it was SUCH a relief to be able to toss it away and breathe! FINALLY I could let go and honestly, feel some semblance of freedom! Now I'm not saying that I have just trashed all of my standards and don't utilize measurable tools to hit goals, what I am 100% saying is, that I have given myself full permission to take an unrealistic standard and pressure off of my back.  I heard a new phrase that suits much better and that I choose to go by now and it is "Practice makes way for progress!"  So on this Monday, take a deep breathe, give yourself a break and happily crush your week!

Happy Monday everyone and thanks for checking out this weeks episode! It's a hot topic at the moment and in my opinion, rightfully so! We are all individually facing personally unprecedented times coupled with a dose of uncertainty. Generally it's always a great idea to do personal check ins and also check in with those around us because.... well because sometimes life is trying and sometimes even though we might need help, we don't always ask for it. More than ever, I think that it 's imperative that we are not only being honest with ourselves and others about where we are at and what we need, but that we are also making sure that we are extending our hand to those around us by checking in with them.  Not only does this simple action help us get out of our own scenario and goings on, it also opens the door for someone who might really need that helping hand.  It's also incredibly powerful what a little connection can do for a person! 

Hello and welcome back to this weeks episode!  Today I wanted to talk a bit about the comparison game and how it 100% hinders our ability to get out there and crush it like only we can!  Sure, there are some heavy hitters in this world that are breaking it down like no other but guess what? So what?! YOU are here for a reason and you have something uniquely your own to share with this world! Nurture the one and only incomperable you and get out there and leave your mark in a way that only you can!

Hello, happy Monday and welcome back for this week's episode of Success After Excess! So many times in life I have found that I can get caught up in very cyclical and unhelpful thought patterns and or behaviours.... I am happy to say that I have recently opened myself up to a new method and I am SOOOOO grateful that I did!  Meditation was something that I was never drawn to in the past. I considered it and had tried it some but never really felt that it had any value for me. Looking back though, I know now that I never really gave it a fair go. This past week though, that has changed and not only do I realize that meditation is not what I thought it was, but it is changing my life!  With that, let's dive on in!

Hello and happy Monday!  How's are you this fine day? I hope fantastic! Fall has been kicking into high gear here however our weather is about to take a hard turn straight into Summer today with temperatures reaching 27! Despite having a back that is making the simplest of things challenging today, I'm going to get out and enjoy it! Why? Well because it's important to move for me so I can keep my headspace where I want it and fresh air is the best! On that note, today's episode is talking about self care! It's something that I feel the importance of cannot be stressed enough, especially in the days of now.  I hope that you enjoy and if you aren't taking some time for you now, you will feel inspired to do so! Thank you as always for choosing to spend your time here today and I hope that you have an amazing week!

Well good morning! I apologize for getting this week's episode up on the late side. It's been a super busy day so far! In this episode I was wanting to touch on habits. Why? Well aside from being incredibly important for various reasons, during this time in the world, mine became glaringly obvious! Without the regular fast paced distractions readily available, I was able to see my habits and what they were doing for me and surprise surprise, they weren't as effective as I had initially convinced myself. I hope that you enjoy and I also hope that your week is off to a wicked awesome start! Thank you as always for coming and sharing some time here and I look forward to next week! All the best xx

Hello and happy Monday!!  Ever had an interaction with someone that resulted in you writing off the emotional and or mental integrity of the remainder of your day? I know I have! There have been many a times where I have handed over total control to another person and every single time it's resulted in disaster!  In today's episode we are chatting about triggers and why we need to be the ones in charge of them. Thanks for tuning in and here's to having a great week! Enjoy!

Hello everyone and welcome back for this week's episode of Success After Excess! How are you all doing as of late? I hope well! Myself? I've been doing well for the most part.... however if I'm being completely honest, I've had an old habit that's been cropping up that I wanted to share because I don't think I'm alone in my feelings. I've been noticing that I am getting upset over things that I used to be able to look past... I'm noticing that old behaviours are rearing their heads and I want that about as much as I want a bad rash! With that, I came across a quote that hit it home in a big way! It was "Flexible people bend without getting bent." And that, is exactly what we are going to chat about today! 

Well hello there!! It's been a minute is an understatement but with that, I am 100% BACK and on track! What a time to come back in as well right?!  To those of you that have been here since day 1, those of you that have simply popped on by and jot those of you that are showing up now.... THANK YOU!! I am absolutely grateful to you all for choosing to show up and to share your time and this space with me!  Things have been off the wall and I am so happy to be here with you all just diving right back into it! Happy Monday and let's jump right in!

Hey everyone and welcome to episode 71! I hope that you've been having an incredible week so far!  Today I am talking about allowing ourselves to be interjected into situations which do not concern us. This happens at times by choosing to involve ourselves in other peoples business and other times, people can lean on us to mediate and or try to have us handle a situation for them.  As nice as it is to be helpful, the issue that arises in scenarios like these is that one, we step out of our lane so to speak by putting ourselves in a situation that we do not have a place in. By doing so, we typically end up becoming responsible for the outcome of the situation and are now responsible for the ever pending backlash and likely inevitable upset. Also, we now have the unpleasant task of juggling emotions and stress that were not our burden to begin with. It is SO important to make sure that we are holding ourselves accountable and in situations like these, we can ultimately offer support, however it is not

Hello all and happy Friday!! How are you today? I hope that you are all doing amazing and that your weekend is off to a great start! It's a long weekend here and we are getting a solid break from consistent rainy weather, and with that, I am pumped!! Today's episode is based on a quote that I came across and it was talking about not allowing our current circumstances to dictate our mood and or how we feel. At the end of the day, regardless of what is going on in our lives or what is going on around us in the world, we are 100% able to control how we feel and interact with ourselves and the world.  Absolutely we are entitled to feel off, have an off day, feel emotions around something and or someone however the accountability of how we feel and moreover, how we choose to manage those feelings, our mindset and our perspective/perception, is 100% up to us. So if you're feeling like a thought, an emotion and or a situation is starting to run your day then I encourage you to hit the pause button and give some

Hey everyone and welcome back to episode 69!  Before we dive in I just wanted to say thank you thank you for tuning in and I wanted to give a little update. For those of you that have been listening along, I am due to greet my baby soon and with that, am going to be scaling back from five podcasts a week to two. In the meantime, as mentioned in previous posts, I am working on some other things that I am so super excited to share with you all!! SO, back to today's episode! I heard Dwayne Johnson talking about his favourite quote and it was "It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice." I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE THIS!!  It's true that people will never forget how you made them feel and bottom line, if you're genuinely putting your best foot forward and treating people with kindness, it is inevitable that not only will you have better relations with others, you'll absolutely be responsible for improving someone else's day while simultaneously improving your own, right al

Hello all and happy Monday! I hope that your week is off to an awesome start!  In today's episode I wanted to talk about what you are doing to move the needle for yourself? To grow, to motivate, to inspire and so on! I chose to talk about some of the simple things that I have incorporated and am continuing to incorporate into my life to help myself, and I would LOVE to hear back from YOU! Not just in regards to today's episode but for others as well! Shoot me a message and let me know what you're liking and what you would love to hear about! With that, thank you for tuning in and I will see you tomorrow!

Good morning all and happy Thursday! I hope that you're all doing incredible and I am super pumped to be here today!  This episode is all about who's standards you are choosing to live your life by. With the pressures to be accepted and loved, increased by our use of social platforms, it can become SO super easy to compromise our own standards and start adjusting to fall in line with the standards set by others. If we looking for the best version of our self, high quality relationships and happiness though, we absolutely NEED to clarify, acknowledge, set and stick to our own standards! "It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you are not" Be true you! ALWAYS!!
