Anyone else out there having what feels like a mid life crisis?

You're not where you were - but you're not where you're going yet?

You're in this messy middle place and path to it and through it are filled with what's known as the unsettling transition. 

Today, I'm deep diving into pastor Craig Cooney's six stages of transition, sharing how I've navigated each one myself over the last 18 months and helpful tips along the way

Don't worry- you're not gonna die here- You're just in it ....

THE BLUEPRINT: 30 Days of Prophetic Wisdom, Insights, and Direction for a New Era

Have you ever not felt like yourself?  Have you questioned your sense of reality?  Have you pushed those closest away from you because they "don't quite understand..." Have you ever blindly trusted someone who ended up bringing more harm than good? 

Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe all of those things may be connected? 

Today, on an extremely raw and real episode, I'm shinning a light into my own Narcissistic abuse story. 

It's a buzz word for sure, but the abuse and abusers are real. 

It can affect our health, working relationships, friendships, communities, how we show up in the world, our confidence our joy and our peace. 

But there is so much hope.

Enjoy some comedic relief in the beginning as I share my own real life parasitic infection journey and know that by the end of the episode, you'll have laughed, cried, felt less alone & hopefully find the courage to take back what's already yours: your power.

Today I am so thrilled to have such a special guest with me on the show- the man the myth the legend, and my dad, John Plevyak. 

Former business owner, sales manager and winningest nationally ranked collegiate soccer coach and part time comedian are all of what makes John SNR one of a kind. 

Today we're covering some serious ground on all things navigating the pressure of working for your dream, how to build a winning team and words of wisdom for from experience for working through lower economical season.

This episode is special to me,  and I'm honored to share my dad's knowledge  and insights, Not to mention hearing some inside stories about little me lol.  You may laugh, cry and everything in between, but I can guarantee you'll leave the episode feeling comforted from someone who's been there.

I've been hearing this a lot in conversations lately, this idea of being "afraid to offend," when it comes to showing up, taking up space & getting after it. 

Today I posed the question, "why has taking ownership of your life somehow become synonymous with offense?"

Today we're taking a deep dive in to why we are truly asking ourselves this question, and what it really means to ruffle some feathers in our entrepreneurial pursuits.

2023 is said to be the year of the Creator. And if that's the case, let's get honest about the creative process and be prepared for a full picture of what creating actually looks like: 

Ideas and good work can free flow when we're feeling it, but what about when creativity and producing good work and ideas seems hard to access? What then? 

Today I'm sharing an honest look inside my creative process, and particularly, what happens when I find myself in what I like to call "The Creative Funk."

Have you ever wondered what it looks like to become a 7 figure earner in your business?   And no, I am not talking about the content you need to post, the amount of personal development books you need to read, the amount of hours you need to grind or how anything we may think might be the answer. 

I'm talking about the shifts we need to make in the way we operate, the stories we tell ourselves, the painful lessons we have to walk alongside, and the grit required in order to grow your business to the million-dollar level. 

Today, I'm sharing the 10 hard truths I've learned on the road to making my first million in business.

I think it's safe to say that 2022 came with countless unforeseen challenges. I know it did for me. It was a year of so much transition and change. 

But through many doors closing, I found new ones to open. And through the hard lessons, I learned so much. 

Today, I'm sharing the 4 Lessons I learned in the midst of one of the hardest years of my life and how I'm taking them with me into the New Year...

A lot of times in coaching, I hear "I just want to help" or "I'm helping my team" but you're not seeing the results that you'd hope for?

Sometimes, the not so fun truth is that "helping" can actually equal hurting, or rather, stunting the growth of those we attempt to lead and guide. 

If you are someone who leads a team, and you're wanting to truly help your team grow and get better, no matter what profession, I believe this will be a game changing episode for you.

Knowledge is power so they say.  Or is it? 

Today I'll be diving into the topic of consuming and presenting the other side of what happens when we take in too much information. How often times, it can be harmful to our growth, leaving us in a place of consumption immobility  rather than action and  implementation.

Consuming more truly is only good *if* were actually getting better... 

If you've been feeling you've been doing all the right things and aren't seeing the results you're hoping for, I wonder if you've been a victim of over consumption.

Don't worry friend, there's a way through. But first, we may need to challenge some things. Buckle up 👊🏻

It happened. Big time. It came without warning, truly when I least expected it:  My hustle relapse.  Yep. It happened. Less than 24 hours ago.  But you wanna know the best thing?  I found my way out. And I found my way out fast. In today's episode I'm talking about my momentary hustle relapse and how I was able to shift out of it without losing much more than a few hours of my day. Today I'll be sharing a few tips to help you if you find yourself in a similar place with our old familiar friend hustle.

When friendships or seasons of relationships end, we can often be questioning our sense of reality; 

how we perceived that time & investment. Far too often,  we cast blame, or maybe we even ask ourselves ”Am I the problem?” 

Perhaps. 

Or perhaps there is another perspective worth considering.... 

Today I’m sharing the hard lessons I’ve learned amidst the transitioning of friendships over the past year. 

Bring a tissue. This one’s close to the heart... xo

The truth is, it's not a matter of "if" the challenging seasons in your work will come, but "when" - and when they do, you're going to want to have that person who's in it with you. I'm so excited to combine forces with my dear friend and fellow business colleague, sales executive + marketing expert Aspen King, host of the Be Uncommon podcast, as we discuss our professional wins + lessons learned this calendar year along with why collaboration + creation will be your best friend if you allow it to be.

Do you ever find yourself getting distracted? Despite having the best intentions?

I think that it's something that we all combat. Especially now more than ever, there's a 10000 distractions pulling at your focus on a daily basis.

But success was never built on good intentions. It was built on focus and execution.

Today I share on how important is to fight for your focus, why it matters, and how to recenter + execute to maximize the next 90 days of this year.

When it comes to creativity, often times, we can believe the lie that we have to feel inspired in order to be creative. On the contrary, it is usually found in deep pain, amidst grief and adversary, do we discover our creative insights and ingenuity. Today I'm interviewing my dear friend & colleague, the incredibly talented designer and creator Lindsey Eryn Clark, the powerful force behind the brands Pep Talks & Third Story Apartment as we discuss how to protect and provoke the creative process in trying seasons.

Whether you’re attempting to create a culture, a brand, a movement, a community, develop leaders, coach a team, You’ll need two essential components in doing so: Strategy + Vision. 

One without the other is like trying to ride a bicycle without 2 wheels. You need both to get things moving. 

Today I’ll be giving some of my best insights when it comes to creating a culture, things to both evaluate and implement, so you can create a movement that will inspire others to not only partner with you, but create a suitable environment for growth, no matter what industry you find yourself in.

Today we are back with part 2 of this conversation surrounding the idea of "all or nothing." In part 1, we focused heavily on this idea of shame and how it plays in both hustle and recovery. 

In part 2 I'm focusing on this real time conversation around social media, particularly Instagram. There have been so many opinions weighing in on the app. Today, I'm sharing mine, plus the one life saving tools I've discovered in how to navigate our all or nothing relationship with the social media world: boundaries.

Today's episode is part 1 of a two part series around extreme ways of working & living. Very much based in a real time conversation, I'll be sharing my insights on the "all or nothing" mentality and the bi product that way of execution creates: deep shame. Buckle up friends- it's gonna be a bumpy ride...

I think it's safe to say that fear and entrepreneurship go hand in hand. And while fear is a POWERFUL emotion, I think it is misunderstood. Often times, I’ve found having fear around something can have his connotation of “bad”…. If I feel fear, it must mean this is a bad thing? Perhaps… or, maybe it's telling you exactly the direction you need to make moves towards. Today we’ll be diving into how to better understand our own fear, what it’s attempting to communicate with us, and how to partner with fear to create something that matters, instead of letting it be in the driver’s seat of our lives.

Often times when we encounter setbacks or failures in our pursuit towards our goals, it can feel like something bad is happening to us. What I've discovered, is although that may feel incredibly true, delays are usually for our benefit. 

Join me today in one of the most vulnerable conversations I've ever had about "the ultimate setback" I experienced last year + how it truly was the set up for this incredible year of growth.

Burnout is real. And the truth, it’s killing more dreams and desires than all haters put together combined. Over the years I have combatted on and off burnout throughout multiple professions. What I’ve found is, it’s not a matter of “If” you’ll burn out, it’s a matter of “When” you’ll burn out.  I’m sharing my personal burnout stories and the 7 things I’ve implemented to help combat it. Although burnout is a powerful force, it doesn’t not have to have the final say in your story.
