Today, we're going to talk about what it means to embrace your best self, or should I say, "best selves." Our personalities are so complex and contain more than just one version. Maybe when it comes to your business, you access your masculine energy to be a badass CEO. Or maybe on your social media, you let your goofiness and pajama-loving self come out! In this episode, I have Lindsey Mango (one of the most genuine women I have ever meet) here to talk about what it looks like to live your life in alignment and live a beautiful life.

What's up, babe?! Happy Thursday and welcome back to the Boldly Courageous podcast! I'm so grateful that you're here. Today we're going to talk about staying committed to your overall goals. One of my goals that I set coming into quarantine was to be healthier and wealthier by the time this was over. I've set goals like this before, and I find that what keeps people stuck from actually achieving goals is that they don't have a plan. For me, it's really about anchoring into small decisions and small choices and reminding myself of my WHY. In this episode, I talk about some ways YOU can become more intentional about YOUR goals, make them happen, and celebrate each step along the way!

Happy Monday, babe! I hope that this day is absolutely incredible and that this episode empowers you to live your boldly courageous life! Today, we're going to talk about what it means to live life "unplugged." During COVID-19 quarantine, most of us have spent more time on media — whether it be the news, Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok, whatever! And while media isn't a bad thing, too much of it can make us anxious, uncentered, and distracted from what we should actually be plugging into: our purpose. In this episode of Boldly Courageous, I sit down (virtually) with the amazing Lauren Schwab to talk about what living an "unplugged" life looks like and how we can better plug into ourselves.

What's up, babe?! Welcome to Episode 12 of Boldly Courageous, a podcast created for you — the ambitious woman.
Today, we're going to talk about value systems and how they drive every choice we make. Our values are our north star when it comes to what we will do and what we will not tolerate. When we really start to get clear on what our value systems are, we begin to take action around how we want to live our life from a truly empowered and clear space. Does your life look chaotic or disorganized? Are you stuck in toxic relationships? Are you always saying "yes" and losing your time when it comes to your business? We can all get stuck in unhealthy value systems, but we have the power to change those and align ourselves to what we really desire.
_____________________________________________________________________________
What You Will Learn...
- What exactly values are and why they are so important
- Why understanding your values helps you set boundaries in your professional and personal life
- Where values come from and how to reevaluate unhealthy value systems
- How your value system is tied to your expenses
- What value systems look like in the business sphere
- Why understanding your value system is about understanding your core desires
