Happy Productive: Business Success Through Soul Alignment

Working from home has become a reality for many during these unprecedented times. For some, it’s what they are used to and for others, it’s become something they’ve had to get used to, and for many, it’s still an adjustment they have yet to get used to.

So how do we optimize our productivity while working from home when there is no separation between work-life, and personal-life? How do we turn off our work-mode when we are now working on our kitchens or our bedrooms? How do we set healthy boundaries with our clients, our children, and ourselves?

These are all topics I discussed with my very special guest on this episode, Lori Baker-Schena, a leadership coach and professional speaker who works with business owners and entrepreneurs all across the country to increase their business by enhancing employee satisfaction.

So join me in this episode as we deep dive into how to stay productive and motivated while working from home.

Inspired by the collaborative book project I am working on, called The Energy of Abundance, I have created a 3-part series on my journey with abundance. I previously released Part 1: The Abundance Series: Patience. Here in part 2 I focus on Trust.

It is no secret that my start to life was not the easiest. I’ve gone through many hardships that left a lot of trauma and a lot of “why me” behind. At one point, life was really hard. So in order to attain what I thought would lead me to happiness, I turned all my focus on growing my bank account. I thought money would solve all my problems. That’s what abundance meant right? I was wrong.

No matter how much I earned, there never seemed to be enough. It wasn’t until I learned that abundance is an inside job where things truly began to change. During the hardest times of my life, I learned I could still feel abundant despite what I was going through. By committing to higher emotions, I started to rediscover trust, trust that everything was happening for me not to me. I rediscovered myself in that process.

I’d like to invite you into the 2nd part of this series where I take you inside my journey with abundance, what you can do today to connect to higher emotions, and what we can unleash inside of us when we lean into the power of trust.

Do you ever find yourself finishing a work day absolutely drained with energy? Do you sit on the couch, eat pizza and watch TV as your “prize” for working a 8/10/12 hour day? That certainly used to be me. So when I saw that Kate Hutson had tips on how to finish off the work day not drained but actually full of energy, I knew I had to have her on.

Harsh truth: Life is not perfect, and it never will be. Life is a rollercoaster, sometimes you’re on a high, sometimes you are on a low. But regardless, it is continuously moving and it won’t always be sunshines and rainbows. That was a harsh reality I had to learn after I realized that simply practicing the Law of Attraction, and thinking good thoughts would shield me from challenges, and bad things happening to me. I was wrong. 

The good news? We are always in control of how we react to what life throws at us. Life is about experiences, and an experience is neither good nor bad until we deem it as such. We have the ability to look at any experience and see the good in it, if we choose to. The key is what you choose to take from your experiences. What did I learn? How am I growing? What will I do differently next time? 

Those are all questions I ask myself when life throws a curveball my way, and if you know anything about my story, you know that I have faced many curveballs in my lifetime. But by letting go on the notion that life needs to be perfect, I’ve been able to create space for what needs to come into my life so that I can extract the good out of it, learn from it, and move on a better person. 

And if I can, so can you! So join me in this episode as I break down how to live a Happy and Productive life no matter what.

Today is a very special episode as I am joined by an incredible woman with an incredible story. Jess Sinclair is a life coach and speaker, but beyond that she is a woman who has overcome major hardships in her life and has come out on top. This is by far one of the most powerful stories I have ever heard.

Jessica was abused at a very young age, grew up in poverty, her parents were divorced, and she got pregnant  at 16. Needless to say the cards were stacked against her. However, none of that let her stop her from what she really wanted to do – go to college. Not only did she graduate high school while raising her child and working a part-time job, but she was elected President of her class, graduated in the top 10% of her class and was in the National Honor Society. Then she not only fulfilled her dream of going to college, but she also graduated with a bachelor’s degree, then a master’s degree and purchased her first home by the age of 25. Now she’s the owner of her own business where deems herself as the Reset Coach and hopes to inspire and coach women to move forward in life after facing setbacks.

Jessica is the true embodiment that although statistics can be true, they don’t have to be true for you and they certainly were not true for her. Her story is the definition of what you can accomplish when you focus your mind and energy on your goals, when you drop the victim mentality, when you own your truth, and when you take full ownership of who you want to be in this life.

Her story was so powerful I could have listened to her all day. This is a must-listen. Trust me.

Today I speak in depth about one of my favorite topics, HAPPINESS. But not just happiness, the science of happiness. I am joined by a very special guest, Scott Crabtree. Scott is the founder of and Chief Happiness Officer at Happy Brain Science. Scott empowers individuals and organizations to apply findings from cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology to boost productivity and happiness at work. When I first heard of Scott, I knew we spoke the exact same language, and I was not wrong.

In our chat, we take a deeper look at what it means to actually thrive instead of just being happy, and as Scott puts it, it does come down to a science. We also break down the 5 areas of well-being, which also happens to be the basis for the goals in my Best Planner Ever. Scott also shares how he got into this work by sharing his experiences working at Intel as an executive for many years and what drove him to switch career paths and devote himself to the science of happiness. As he puts it “if you really want to learn something, you should teach it,” and so his journey on this path begun. 

This episode is jam-packed with value, and I promise, you will not want the episode to stop (I sure didn’t!). Other topics we cover include the choices we make that either contribute to our happiness or distance us from it, reframing stress as a useful source, the importance of a positive attitude, finding flow, the power of coaching, and so much more. So join me and Scott in this incredibly powerful episode!

Today’s topic is so important in having a successful and thriving business, customer service. I am joined by my guest, Dr. Kelly Henry.  Dr. Henry, aka the Customer Service Doctor, was an award-winning chiropractor for 20 years where he helped his patients live healthier lives with the foundation of providing exceptional customer service. Since 2018, Dr. Henry has used his system to coach business leaders on improving customer service to create incredible growth and profits. 

These days without happy customers a business simply cannot survive. You can have an excelled product or service, a kick-ass team, and have everything you need to run a successful business but if your customers are not happy, you will simply not survive. On the flip side, customer retention, customer loyalty, and customers leaving positive reviews or better yet spreading the word about your business could keep you afloat even in difficult times. We definitely saw that during Covid. 

With Dr. Kelly we discussed the challenges and methods used to provide exceptional customer service. We talk about the importance of going through your own customer service by being your own customer and putting yourself in their shoes, how to adopt a service mentality, how to deal with negative customer feedback and why you should look at customer service as an investment.

For those business owners out there, you’ll love this episode!

In today’s solo episode I share an anecdote from a recent trip I took with my husband to Sedona for his 50th birthday. Nothing went according to plan, absolutely nothing, but it was a wonderful opportunity for me to practice surrendering and practicing the art of the pivot. 

When you make plans, life laughs right? Life will almost never go according to plan, and in those moments we absolutely have a choice whether we are going to let that ruin our moods, ruin our day, ruin our experience, or worse. When we choose to surrender and pivot instead we are choosing to be willing to go in a different direction. In that choice we open ourselves up to solutions and possibly even better outcomes. 

Relinquishing control and staying open to other possibilities has been such a key in my overall happiness. I truly believe mastering the art of the pivot is a really essential life skill. When I surrender to the present and I surrender to how things want to unfold (despite of what I want), my joy and my happiness can start to flow again. Through this I am no longer a victim of my circumstance, but rather I am in alignment with the Universe.

So join me in this episode where I share with you how you too can practice surrendering and become a master at pivoting.
