If you've ever felt like no matter how hard you try to think positively, it's just not sticking? You're not alone. It's not because you're doing it wrong, it's all because of how your brain works!
In this episode, I break down the science behind why it can be hard to truly believe the new thoughts you're telling yourself, so you can understand what it takes to change your mindset for good. Because the truth is, you can tell yourself positive, wonderful things all day long, but it won't have a powerful effect on your life unless you actually believe it. 
If you've ever wondered why your positive affirmations aren't sticking, or why you feel so resistant to a new, more positive way of thinking, this episode is for you.

Do you find it easy to dismiss or downplay your achievements? Or maybe once you've accomplished something its always right on to the next thing as if what you just did wasn't good enough? Here's the thing. This habit isn't helping you at all. In this episode, I break down why celebrating yourself and your achievements is actually an extremely powerful practice for helping you do even more challenging and rewarding things. I'll show you the misconceptions that stop you from feeling good about yourself, and help you understand why this skill is an important one for any woman who wants to: 
Feel amazing her own skin
Be consistent with her goals
Stop feeling like she's constantly having to outdo herself in order to keep up
And remove the excessive pressure and unrealistic expectations she puts on herself, so she can be more productive, focus, and actually accomplish more of what matters most.
In addition, you'll learn how to do this in a way that doesn't turn into arrogance. Celebrating yourself is all about being more honest with yourself AND making life more fun along the way.
