Resolutions fade — systems don’t. In Part 2 of the NO RESOLUTIONS series, we break down how to actually accomplish your goals this year by ditching the vague “new year, new me” mindset and replacing it with clear, actionable structure. Instead of setting giant year-long resolutions that fall apart by February, this episode teaches you how to: ✨ Build quarterly goals that keep you focused ✨ Create a clear vision with achievable action steps ✨ Work on one goal at a time so you stop ove...

This New Year’s Eve, we’re not doing resolutions. Not the pressure. Not the unrealistic lists. Not the “new year, new me” noise. Instead, we’re choosing two words — two anchors — that will drive everything we do in 2026. In this episode, Phylecia shares her two words: Plan + Execute. Because if you have a plan… you can execute. And if you execute… you can change your life. This is about focusing on what matters today, preparing for what’s coming tomorrow, and letting your actions — not resol...

TO NOTE: EVEN IF YOU DO NOT CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS - THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU! This Christmas Eve, I want to slow everything down and sit with you for a moment — not to talk goals, not to push, not to hustle… but to honor the fact that you made it. Through the highs, the lows, the burnout, the breakthroughs, and every messy middle in between — you kept going. And before we step into a new year with new expectations, we need to pause and acknowledge the strength it took just to reach this day. 🧘‍♀...

We’re only in the first quarter of your journey — so why are you comparing your progress to someone who’s already in their fourth? In this episode, I break down the real reason comparison steals our joy and stalls our growth. Whether it’s fitness, career, mental health, or personal development, too many of us look at someone else’s highlight reel and assume we’re falling behind… when really, we’re just early in the game. You’ll learn how to: Recognize when comparison is sabotaging your mindse...

Let’s talk about the lies we’ve all been told about mental health — and what’s actually true. In this episode, Phylecia breaks down six of the most common myths that keep people silent, ashamed, or afraid to get help. From the idea that mental illness is “rare” or “a sign of weakness,” to the misconception that therapy is just talking or that recovery isn’t possible — we’re busting through the stigma one truth at a time. Because mental health isn’t a flaw to fix — it’s a part of being human. ...

Here’s the truth — no one’s immune to bullying. Not even the confident ones. Not even the “cool” ones. In this episode, Phylecia shares a story about a strong, confident girl who was bullied simply for standing out — for having muscles, for being herself. The takeaway? Haters are gonna hate. Bullies will always find a target. But their words only stick if we let them. This episode is a reminder that real confidence doesn’t mean people won’t try to tear you down — it means they can’t touch you...

This Thanksgiving feels different — because gratitude means more when you’ve had to fight for your joy. In this heartfelt episode, Phylecia reflects on turning 37, what that day looked like, and why it wasn’t about perfection but pride — pride in the growth, the lessons, and the strength it took to get here. It’s a reminder that gratitude isn’t about everything being easy. It’s about seeing how far you’ve come, even through the messy, hard, and beautiful parts of life. Because when you’ve wal...

The holidays can be a beautiful season — but also the perfect storm for chaos, stress, and slipping out of routine. Before life starts running you, this episode is your reminder to slow down, set intention, and protect your peace. Phylecia breaks down the do’s and don’ts of staying aligned before the holidays hit: ✅ Keep your diet, sleep, and exercise steady. ✅ Set a budget and stick to it. ✅ Plan your days — write it down, use your calendar, and stay organized. Because when you lead with ...

Resistance is inevitable — whether it’s in your habits, workouts, or goals, life will always push back. But sometimes, the key isn’t to fight harder… it’s to find the path that makes sense for you. In this episode, I talk about learning to work with your natural rhythm instead of against it — choosing times, routines, and environments that support your growth rather than drain it. Because success isn’t about constant struggle — it’s about alignment, consistency, and doing the work when it mak...

In the words of Jocko Willink — when you’ve already set your intention and built your system, there’s no more overthinking to do. That’s the difference between motion and progress. In this episode, we’re breaking down the simplest (and most powerful) formula for actually getting things done: 1️⃣ Set the intention. 2️⃣ Write it down. 3️⃣ Build the plan. 4️⃣ Execute. Because when you skip this process, nothing moves. But when you commit to it — everything changes. MY B...

I have been thinking about doing this for awhile, and we did for the 101st episode. I want to reshare this episode since it's how we all got started. Here you will hear a story of how I got first diagnosed Bipolar. First we go into what was really going on in my life leading up to this, you will go inside my mind during mania. You will hear how I thought Dr. Phil's son was dressed up as a nurse at the hospital I was, how I thought Oprah was dressed up doign research on me because "I was going...

Every journey begins with a starting line — but how often do we hold ourselves back before we even take the first step? In this episode, I’m diving into the truth about starting, staying, and finishing: 🎯 Why commitment matters more than motivation in the beginning.🔄 How consistency becomes the engine that carries you forward.💪 Why tenacity is the difference between quitting and transforming.🚫 Why comparison is the thief of joy (and how to stop measuring your journey against someone else’s).I...

We made it — 100 episodes! 🎉 In this milestone conversation, I’m stepping back to reflect on the journey so far: what’s been going right, what’s been going wrong, and the messy middle in between. This isn’t a highlight reel — it’s a real-life check-in. I’ll share updates on my own life, lessons learned from building this podcast, and how I’m navigating the balance of resilience, routine, and joy along the way. Whether you’ve been here since Episode 1 or you’re just tuning in, this...

In this podcast today we're covering goals, dreams and ACTION STEPS. So many podcasts can be about goal setting but what does that really mean? We need to: 1) Know the vision (the goal) - if you don't have the vision, I've given you journal prompts to find it 2) Set the intention - affirm what you're going to accomplish 3) Understand what your action step is that day / week - if you don't know what to do - speak to someone who does / research / chatgpt / there is info out there Then we will c...

Have you ever wished and prayed your kids would do or wouldn't do certain things? But when we really look in the mirror - where did they learn that? Maybe instead of praying FOR them, we pray for US so that they have someone to set the example. My niece and nephew are the kids in my life. I always say a prayer for them - but (once again) through walking, I came up with a question to myself... If you want these things for the kids - why don't you just do those things, become their mirror, thei...

This podcast is not about vaping, or not vaping.... (although if you do Vape, it is helpful) This podcast today is going to cover a few things I've found since I discovered walking. We take walking for granted, but I have been able to disconnect, focus internally with no distractions and ask hard questions. My challenge to you if you're not a "walker" - go for a walk everyday for 7 days, just 20 minutes then ask yourself these questions while you're walking: 1) What is the vision I have for m...

In this podcast I referenced Pat Flynn’s new book: Lean Learning. In a world full of information, knowledge and access, we get overloaded and never actually know what our ONE next step is. I’m going to story tell in the ways that information overload has come true in my own life, and what keeping it simple and focused can really accomplish. If you don’t know what your best next step is, talk to someone who has been where you are or who has achieved what you want achieve. Reverse engin...

In this podcast today we’re going to discuss NOT getting cocky, when we get cocky, we stop doing what was working - we fall - we then have to reset and climb back up. If you’re sitting here today and things are going well - keep doing what you’re doing - but continue to have these 3 things in place - Belief, discipline and consistency. If you’re sitting here today and you have fallen - focus on a good song, a pep talk and RESET! Then we figure out what went wrong, the plan to nail it or...

In this podcast today I’m going to sound a bit aggressive but it’s to HELP you - I promise! Talking to people struggling with Bipolar and people who have loved ones who struggle! I had someone reach out about her mom being in a manic episode and I want to give you my full method to how I’ve been able to contain Bipolar after being hospitalized in 2010. Meds, psychiatry and therapy are ALL part of the game - but it’s simply not the full solution, if it was - everyone on meds, in th...
