Use Desperation to Your Advantage and Be Extreme.... Sometimes
In this episode, I reflect on my tendency to take extreme actions, like moving across the country or downsizing my living space, to achieve my goals. Despite recognizing that such extremes may not always be healthy, I value the lessons learned and the strength gained from these experiences. The episode emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between taking significant actions and maintaining boundaries.
I also recount my childhood and adult experiences with living in large homes and the challenges of managing clutter. I talk about the relief I felt after moving into smaller spaces and how it helped me realize the importance of minimalism. The episode touches on how past experiences and upbringing influence one's approach to life and decluttering. I encourage listeners to understand their motivations and make conscious choices without resorting to extreme measures unless necessary.

In this episode of Your Loving Kick in the Pants, I talk openly about grief, why it’s so hard, but also how it can shape us for the better. I share how serving in my church inspired me to bring up grief as a discussion topic after several recent deaths in my community. I remembered losing my father-in-law to cancer and how that experience changed my outlook on life, family, and purpose. Through loss, I’ve learned that grief gives us “stunning awareness”, a deep understanding that forces us to grow, change, and appreciate what really matters.

In this episode, I talked about how social media management really works for business owners. Many people think hiring someone will fix their consistency, but the truth is, you first need to know your own content, your audience, and your goals. I explained that knowing the basics of your business, what you sell, who you sell to, and what makes you different, is the foundation for creating effective posts. Once you’re clear on that, social media becomes less overwhelming and way more powerful.
