TYE 153: The life-changing power of a small act of kindness
01/23/23 • 3 min
We often never know how far an act of kindness can go or how it can change someone’s day, or their entire life. Here’s a quick story of kindness from a recent trip to the grocery store, which started with something rather unkind.
Too often, people are dismissed and not looked at for the wholeness of who they actually are.
Everyone has bad days.
But everyone deserves our kindness.

TYE 152: Say What You Need to Say Before It’s Too Late
This holiday season was a difficult one for me, and in this episode, I explain why & what I learned from it.
In the very days leading up, one of my absolute closest people fell ill and died quite suddenly. I spent Christmas Day in the hospice at her side, spending those final inevitable moments in deep sorrow and reflection. But those moments also reminded me of a valuable life lesson - woven beautifully into one of my favourite John Mayer songs.
Please listen and share with someone who needs to hear it. Death and dying are indeed both heartbreaking and beautiful.

TYE 154: How to overcome perfectionism and embrace the messy steps to success
Perfectionism is a killer of hopes and dreams. The challenge is learning to accept and embrace the messy, imperfect steps necessary to create momentum. It’s how every successful person gets to the top of the mountain, and why so many people never reach it.
This quick episode is about my holistic approach to doing things the most human way possible: imperfectly. Please listen, share and I hope this lights your fire to keep taking messy, imperfect steps forward to your ultimate “yes!”
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why people often fail at their goals
- Why New Year's Resolutions often fail
- The compound effect
- How successful people manage failure
- How to overcome perfectionism
Quotables:
“You can’t get to the top of your mountain unless you’re willing to deal with your own humanity where you’re going to be doing it imperfectly. The question is: are you going to be doing it?”
“It’s always going to be messy and ugly. The only thing that matters is ‘can I keep going?’”
