In this episode, I talked about the sixth step of the Accountability Code—feedback, which is all about using past experiences to make better choices moving forward. I shared a personal story from my upcoming book Becoming Boss Minded called The Art of Saying No, where I learned the hard way that helping too much can lead to burnout. I explained how saying yes too often, even with good intentions, can hurt your mental health and relationships. This story helped me see how important it is to set boundaries and focus on what really matters.
In this episode, I talked about the fifth step of the accountability code, commitment—and how it’s different from just taking action or implementing ideas. Implementing is when you practice or try something, like brainstorming or writing, but commitment is when you actually finish the task and can prove it’s done. I shared how one of my clients struggled with staying consistent on social media after a group challenge ended, and we realized that making a plan isn’t enough, you have to commit to following through.
In this episode, I talked about implementing, the fourth step of the Accountability Code. It comes after reflection, humility, and planning. Implementing means taking action on what matters to you, even if it's not perfect. Many people make plans but never follow through, so I reminded everyone to just start, even if it’s messy.
In this episode, I talked about planning as the third step in the Accountability Code, right after reflection and humility. Planning isn’t just writing stuff down, it’s about creating a meaningful roadmap that actually helps you succeed. I shared how putting “tennis friends” on my vision board led to real friendships just by showing up and being open.
In this podcast, Elora Hill reflects on her journey with humility, sharing how she initially struggled with accepting feedback due to negative past experiences at a toxic workplace. She explains how the Accountability Accelerator program helped her shift her mindset, allowing her to view humility not as weakness, but as an honest acceptance of her current situation. Now, instead of feeling guilty for not doing more, Elora focuses on doing what she can within her limited time as a mom, which helps her work with more intention and less stress. This transformation has also made her more excited about her business, knowing that she can make a real impact.
In this episode, I talk about the role of reflection in the accountability code, sharing a personal story from my book, Doubt Yourself No More. I reflect on trying out for cheerleading in high school, initially to prove a point, but later realizing how reflection evolves when you take action. I explain that reflection is about thinking through your goals, values, and challenges, and as you act on them, your reflection changes, helping you grow and build confidence. This process helps you become more accountable and stay focused on your goals.
In this episode, I share how to set a clear eight-week goal using the Accountability Code, a framework designed to help you take action. Many people struggle with defining their focus, so I walk through six key steps: reflection (identifying your goal), humility (recognizing what’s holding you back), planning (creating a roadmap), implementing (taking action), commitment (declaring your goal), and feedback (evaluating progress). The Accountability Accelerator provides structure and support to help participants stay on track, but even if you're not in the program, you can still apply these steps to make real progress.
In this episode, I talked about accountability and why traditional plans don’t always work. I shared personal experiences, like writing my book and learning to adjust plans to fit my own needs. I also highlighted stories from my clients, like Kim, who successfully hosted events by adapting the accountability code, and Susan, who realized she needed to trust herself more to improve her business. The key takeaway is that being accountable isn’t about following a rigid plan, it’s about adjusting and taking action in a way that works for you.
Hey guys! This is a bonus episode because I forgot to plan for my free webinar on March 11th at noon Eastern Time, and I don’t want you to miss it! It’s all about accountability—why it’s the key to success and how to make it work for you. I share a client story about how small tweaks in her approach made a huge difference and explain why traditional goal-setting often fails. The truth is, accountability isn’t just about willpower—it’s about having the right plan, support, and mindset to follow through.
In this episode, I talk about the downside of "waking up too much"—overthinking, overanalyzing, and consuming too much information without taking action. Just like showing up too much can be unbalanced, constantly planning and reflecting without implementing can keep us stuck. I share examples of how this happens and explain that real growth comes when we take action, even if it’s imperfect.
In this episode of Your Loving Kick in the Pants, I dive into the difference between waking up and showing up. Lately, I’ve been networking and seeing firsthand how people take action when they truly understand accountability. But I’ve also noticed that many people overdo one side—either constantly staying busy and overwhelmed or spending too much time thinking without acting. If you’re exhausted and struggling to keep up, you might be showing up too much and neglecting reflection. True balance comes from recognizing what tasks actually belong to you and what you can let go of.
In this episode, I talk about the importance of honesty in the accountability code. Without honesty, real change and growth aren’t possible. I share personal stories about how dishonesty can show up in small ways, like making excuses or setting unrealistic goals. Being truthful with yourself brings clarity, peace, and happiness.
In this episode, I talk about the mix of nervousness and excitement that comes with growth, especially in business. As I prepare for a big speaking event, I reflect on how these feelings are a sign of change and progress. I encourage my listeners to embrace them rather than avoid them. Through my Accountability Accelerator, I help people push past fear by setting goals and having someone hold them accountable, which can be both scary and motivating.

In this episode, I talk about the Community to Cash Challenge, a five-day program I created to help people grow their engagement and make money, even in other people's communities.

For just $27, you’ll get lifetime access to tools like a KPI tracker, an engagement guide, and social media templates to make posting and connecting easier.

In this episode, I share how being on a cruise ship has given me the space to focus on writing my book, Becoming Boss Minded. Surrounded by other marketers, I’ve been reminded how easy it is to feel pressured to do everything people suggest for success. Instead, I reflect on a lesson from my mentor called "hand in the sand," which is about focusing on a few key priorities and letting go of the rest.

You'll learn some fun behind the scenes things about me and what it's like to experience your own personal loving kick in the pants!
Do you really need a gym to get a great workout?
Millions of people have great success with home workouts while others not so much. Lets discuss some most important things you can do to get the most beneficial results.
Ladies: DON'T get caught up in making goals and resolutions that don't even make sense for you.
If you're ready to start setting and ACHIEVING realistic goals, you need to be part of FAST!
FAST stands for "Fun & Sustainable Team." When you're part of our team, you'll learn how to create a FUN & SUSTAINABLE healthy lifestyle that actually makes sense for you and your life.
Sometimes people make healthy eating sound harder than it is. Here are the 3 myths you probably believe about eating healthy. (And they're all lies.):
Lie #1: If you are eating healthy you must be obsessed with your food.
Well let me tell you what! Your mind is about to be blown because my clients are not obsessed about their food. The whole point of learning to eat healthy is being able to incorporate healthy, delicious meals into your every day life.
I just can’t hold it back anymore. Every once in a while I see these crazy posts on social media with people wondering why they're not losing weight, why their "healthy" diet isn't working. They’ve “tried everything already” and their cry for help will bring in uneducated direct sales and MLM people by the masses.
There are 3 fatal mistakes you are probably making right now and frankly, it’s holding you back.
Ahh the dreaded (or delightful) start date of your new journey. I’m sure you’ve heard “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step” and it’s well known and used often because it’s true.
Speaking of a 1,000 mile journey, I could probably think of 1,000 reasons why procrastinating sounds good. It’s easier to blame the crappy food in the fridge on your spouse, it’s easier to cater to your kids when they want what “everyone else gets to have”, and it’s easier to eat what is put in front of you rather than plan out what will be best for your body.
These are just your average, every day excuses, but over the holidays? We definitely like over indulging. Nobody wants to be the odd one out who’s “on a diet” during the holidays, throwing away treats from the neighbors like you're ungrateful or making treats without "taste testing."
Of course we all wish we had that “rags to riches” or “fat to fit” story that makes others drop their jaws in amazement.
I don’t know about you, but for me, that’s just not realistic.
The truth is that life -- MY life -- my story -- the whole reason I created the Healthy Eating Challenge and more -- has a whole bunch of ups and downs -- positives and negatives. Sometimes things seem so smooth - you’re motivated to workout, craving healthy food, taking care of yourself and life just seems to be falling into place.
Other times…
You just want to eat cake, lay in bed watching Netflix, cry yourself to sleep and ignore the alarm. (or accidentally forget to set it in the first place).
That’s ok! Please let me tell you first-hand that life will never be perfect and that is TOTALLY, 100% OKAY!!
Our 4th & final week of the Good v. Bad Series is all about VEGGIES!
I'm sure you were wondering when vegetables would make their debut in this healthy food conversation.
Guess what? When it comes to vegetables, there isn't really a good side and bad side. Veggies are always good! Veggies are whole foods, packed with nutrition and they make you feel full longer. Veggies make you feel amazing.
The only "bad" of veggies is when you aren't eating them. If you aren't including any vegetables in your diet, it is detrimental to your health. Our bodies thrive off of the vitamins and minerals received from whole foods -- especially fruits and vegetables that are in season.
Last week we covered the controversial topic of carbs. Today, we're talking all about FAT. In Healthy Eating Challenge I teach you the good, the bad and the ugly of about 4 different types of fat. Basically, there are good fats, bad fats and a couple inbetween. We go pretty in-depth in the challenge.
Today, let’s just talk about the WORST and BEST kinds of fats.
When someone says "grains" or "carbs," do you get the same shivering feeling as hearing "Mufasa"? Contrary to what many fad diets would have you believe, YOUR BODY NEEDS CARBS!! It just needs healthy carbs.
Need help figuring out what to eat? Want to NOT eat all of the Halloween candy this month? Need consistent Accountability with guidance and hand holding? There’s so many fads and different opinions that navigating through healthy eating can be really hard. Over the next 4 weeks I’m going to break down some of the goods and bads -- and you might find there’s some “goods” you weren’t expecting.
Your fitness journey MUST be fun and sustainable. Did you know that if your current program wasn't then it just wouldn't work?
That kind of seems like a trick question huh? Like if we want to get into the best shape of our lives we're going to have to hate it a little bit right?
I'm here to help you understand why Fun and Sustainable is the way to go and to tell you a little bit about WHY that's the name of my business.
What foods should you eat? What should you avoid? There’s so many fads and different opinions that navigating through healthy eating can be really hard. Today I’m going to break down some of the goods and bads of 4 categories - sugar, carbs, fat and veggies. You might be pleasantly surprised that there's a decent balance of good and bad.
Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in the rat race of life and never get a break? Life makes a lot of demands of us – work, family, exercise – everything in our lives can cause some form of stress.
Maybe if we were all energizer bunnies, we could keep going and going without ever taking a break. But we’re not. We’re human. And in reality, even energizer bunnies go, go, go… and then just die. Nobody wants that.
Cue recovery!
Raise your hand if any of the following make you want to curl up in your bed, eat an entire tub of ice cream and spend the day binging a Netflix series:
Is it just me or does it seem like everywhere you turn people are telling you what to eat, what not to eat, how much protein you...
