The only way to get the work done is to do it--not reading about it, talking about it, or researching about it. But these things make us feel like we're making progress on the work.

Although planning and learning is necessary, it leads nowhere unless it's paired with action--small gritty steps every day that accumulate into success.

In this episode, I give you questions to ask yourself to help you pinpoint any "fake work" you're getting stuck on to avoid the real work and habits to get into to take on the work you want/need to do.

Parents, we all have good intentions, right? But when we coach our kids on careers, we often get tunnel vision and talk mostly about money. This episode gives you 10 questions to ask your teens to help them think about what they want out of life in general, what they value, and what they envision their lives to look and feel like.

You're giving them permission to think for themselves and flex their self-awareness muscle, which will serve them well all their lives.

Schedule some time with your teens to ask them these questions and remind them to answer honestly--not how they think they "should" to impress you.

Having a healthy body that moves every day takes intentional planning and goals that work for you. Small consistent habits will turn into who you are, so you'll begin to crave vegetables and exercise without relying on elusive willpower.

As is the case with everything in life, it's all about balance and figuring out what you need to make it enjoyable, so treating your body right becomes sustainable and not just a passing fad that makes you feel defeated when you give up.

No need to overhaul your life and make big changes overnight. That almost never leads to lasting change. Choose one of the 5 ways I list and stick with it for 3 months and observe how your brain and body slowly and steadily react.

Investing in better health today and instilling this value in our kids is worth it to lead to more overall contentment, joy, and focus in life.
