Prepare, Prepare, Prepare, and then Trust
In this episode, I discussed my pride in attending a client’s ribbon-cutting event for her new boutique. I also reflected on recent challenges, including a virus, a friend's funeral in Utah, and the devastation from Hurricane Helene. Despite these hardships, I’m grateful that my family and home were safe, and I contemplated survivor's guilt and the lack of control we have over life’s events.
I emphasized the importance of helping others when we’re in a better position to do so. Observing the contrast between people seeking assistance and my client’s celebration reminded me that while hard work is vital, it’s not always enough in the face of uncontrollable circumstances. It's essential to appreciate our blessings and be ready to support those in need.

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.

Ep. #116 You’re Showing Up Too Much

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.
