Living & Running Your Business From A SAILING BOAT - With Lyndell Harbeck
01/02/25 • 37 min
This episode is sure to inspire you, which is exactly why I asked my special guest, Lyndell Harbeck, onto the show! She's the wife of a military veteran, talented singer, owner of the online business Marketing Movement, but most of all, she's a dear friend of mine who now lives on a sailing boat!
I just HAD to have her on the show to hear her amazing story of how her and her hubby packed up their lives in Perth and spent months sailing around the coast of Australia - all while she was running her own business and making money! Given the ocean can be so unpredictable, Lyndell's story is an incredible example of how life isn't about trying to have EVERYTHING under your control, but taking leaps of faith towards the experiences you want most in life and learning to adapt and pivot your plan as needed.
If you're an overthinker, overplanner or overpreparer, PLEASE give this episode a listen and then go LIVE your life that little bit more! Connect with Lyndell online here @lyndell.harbeck

When You're Feeling Resentful And Unfulfilled In Your Relationship
As a life coach, I am always diving into relationship conflicts people struggle with - that often begin with something like "He should just KNOW that I want quality time with him in the evenings" or "It really hurts when my husband doesn't think to arrange anything for my birthday". Many people feel frustrated or resentful in their marriage because their spouses aren't meeting their needs they way they expected they would. So they double down on trying to control or change them so they can try to feel better. Only problem is, marriage suddenly turns into a long list of obligations to try to make each other happy. It's not a fun time for anyone. I used to feel caught in that same struggle. Until I learned a life changing concept called "the manual" that I teach in this episode and why the best thing you can ever do for your relationship is to throw out your manual completely. Loving what is - that's what true happiness and freedom is.
