In this episode, I welcome my friend Joshua Melching who currently resides in Shanghai to hear from someone who is beginning the return to normal life after Coronavirus. He shares his story from when the virus first began in December, his experience traveling to the US and back, and the quarantine/lockdown provisions in place in Shanghai. Then, he offers some optimistic and experience-based advice for lockdowns to bring light to the uncertain weeks ahead in the US.

In this episode, I share the story of how I didn't get the one thing I wanted more than anything: an acceptance letter to Stanford. But, I learned so much about the energy of neediness vs. the energy of completeness that can be applied to ANYTHING you want. What's meant for you will always BE for you! 

In the midst of COVID-19, we're under unprecedented levels of stress. I wanted to create a both timely and timeless episode on how to alleviate or cope with stress. I walk you through a grounding meditation to help you stabilize, then share some tools that have helped me immeasurably, such as:

-EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). Learn more at https://www.thetappingsolution.com/, and look up Brad Yates videos on Youtube.

In this episode, I welcome millennial business consultant Clair Kim, who defines productivity as "increasing output without increasing input." In other words, how can we be MORE productive by making a few small tweaks to our schedules? We talk about the Eisenhower Matrix for managing day to day priorities and long term goals, and chronotypes to understand the different ways we all require rest and what hours of the day are optimal for us to be working or sleeping.

What the heck is a personal brand, and how can you build one? This episode breaks down why a personal brand matters, how to find your own, and how to express it on social media to establish an authentic connection with your audience.

You'll learn how to express your personality and your purpose: both of which comprise equal parts of a personal brand, in order to impact the world in a way that only YOU can. 

Anyone can create a personal brand - it's simply an expression of who you already are. Are you ready to unleash yours?

Money can be such a taboo and uncomfortable topic - and yet, we all make it! Featuring my first ever show guest Jandra Sutton, we dive deep in this episode into how transparency around money can be empowering. You'll learn how to ask for a raise, negotiate salary, or raise your freelancing rates.

Jandra Sutton is the co-founder of the Paid Well Society alongside Tiffany Napper, and she also writes for Business Insider, where she recently published an article on upping her rates after realizing she had undervalued her worth. 

We all have that one thing we REALLY want to do but we're also deeply scared of doing - quitting our jobs, applying to grad school, moving cities - you name it. So, how do we diffuse the fear so we can go after it anyway? This episode lays out step by step instructions for how to bring fear into broad daylight and nip it in the bud, so we feel free and empowered to take the next big step.
