DALLAS I’m on my way!!
I bought 4 Audible books (gotta have options) I’m jacked up on caffeine and unafraid of the rain that stands between me and you. Can’t wait to see you girls tonight for my last show in Texas!!
That time @bertkreischer invited me to do his podcast and then his wife @leeannkreischer joined in and it became an intervention because I’m incapable of small talk and polite surface-level conversations.
He —for sure— will never invite me over again but it’s still a FANTASTIC PODCAST EPISODE 😂 listen/watch to The Bertcast with your favorite meathead (he needs to hear this!)
Thank you HOUSTON!!! Y’all came out in the rain, y’all played Tuesday night like a Saturday night. Y’all were awesome and I’m so grateful for the hang!!!
DALLAS is tomorrow and we’re gonna make a Thursday night feel like two Saturdays and a Sunday. See you there!!!

5 Reasons Why You Should Just F*cking GO FOR IT!!
Go for what? Whatever IT is you keep dreaming about and keep talking yourself out of.
This podcast episode is for the voice in your head that tells you to play safe and play small. This is for the voice in your head that tells you you’re not smart enough to/ strong enough to/ connected enough to (or any other kind of “enough” enough to pull it off. The next time that voice starts talking, play it THIS episode.

This was epic @schwarzenegger
I kept thinking of that Thoreau quote “the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation” The advice in this book is so good and so simple and I think it’s going to help so many people.
I started to experience extreme anxiety when I was about 29.
I had no idea how to manage the way I was feeling —let alone heal it— so I reached for things that would numb my anxiety.
That looked like binge eating and boxed wine.
And the thing is, our coping mechanisms WORK and they work fast… that’s why we keep reaching for them. But almost as soon as mine “worked” I’d be hit with a massive wave of shame. And feeling the shame made me want to numb again.
It was a vicious cycle.
This is what started my personal development journey.
It wasn’t the desire to become better for myself or my children. It wasn’t a dream of having a bigger business or a make a lasting impact.
I started personal development because I was drowning and nobody had ever taught me to swim— I’d have to teach myself.
I found ideas in the pages of books from the library, in videos on YouTube, in endless google searches. All of it was free. All of it was out there, it just required a lot of digging and sifting and experimenting to see what worked for me.
For me, it starts with an area of tension.
In the beginning it was anxiety. Over the years it’s been growing my business, raising children, practicing self love and care, emotional health, physical health, owning my mistakes, hormone imbalance… it’s endless.
My areas of tension have created forks in my path, following those “roads less traveled” instead of numbing or hiding or bypassing, have allowed me learn and grow and become better. Not perfect, but better.
Go slow. Be graceful with yourself. Keep an open mind and an open heart. Understand that ANYONE might be the teacher you need in this season to learn something essential. Read books. Read LOTS of books.
Start with one small area of tension. Research ideas for how to help it get better. Try out the ideas. Find one that works. Do that thing consistently. Repeat.
EP 489: As many times as I’ve talked about @bernietaupinofficial it felt totally surreal to have him in the studio for a chat.
His lyrics are iconic, his career is legendary… he’s half of one of the most successful writing duos in history!
Listen in wherever you get your podcasts 🎙️
Houston Dallas shows NEXT WEEK!!
Minneapolis Chicago shows are 3 WEEKS away!!
These are the LAST 4 TOUR DATES FOR 2023!
Details 👇🏻
What is this show / podcast tour all about?
For our last 4 shows we’re bringing party vibes! So… a pre-show of live music from DJ Ahsohn (IYKYK) where you can network or hang out with friends while enjoying a bevy.
Then I bound on stage with the energy of a springer spaniel for 90 minutes telling pee-your-pants-funny stories to make you laugh / dropping the occasional motivation bomb to remind you that you’re a badass who can totally do whatever it is you’re hoping to do in life.
The show is built to remind women how freaking strong they are… it’s also conveniently packaged in funny / awkward stories about my life.
Why does it seem so different from other live events you’ve done? Because it is! Over the last decade I’ve had an incredible career as a motivational speaker and I’m super proud of that work– but those kinds of keynote speeches are usually built specifically for audiences that are already motivated and looking for an extra boost.
But what if you’re not comfortable at a personal development conference?
What if you’re not sure if that’s your jam?
What if you’re freaking exhausted and you honestly just want a night out to laugh and have fun?
That’s why this show is different – it’s built for everyone, no matter where you’re at.
What should I expect out of the evening? Every show is a little different, but on average it’s been an hour of funny stories that will make you cackle and cry with laughter– assuming you find jokes about periods and getting your butt waxed and the awkwardness of sex– funny. Then it’s a live Q A with members of the audience that’s 30 minutes (ok, sometimes it’s like 45 min of Q A because I love to chat, but I promise not to go over a 2 hour show so you can get back home to the sitter!)
Basically, it’s a really fun night out that will hit you with some insightful thoughts to chew on later and I hope you’ll come join the fun!
