The most important feedback you'll ever receive in this life is from your failures. But for a lot of us, it's hard to view it through that lens.

I myself have failed hundreds (and hundreds of times)...but one thing I've learned is that each failure teaches me something new to help me level up my skills, my mental resilience, and my wisdom.

If you're feeling like you're failing at one thing, multiple things, or everything (trust me, I've been there, too), then today's episode is for YOU.

After listening to a conversation with an up-and-coming neuroscientist which touched on the topic of jealousy, I just HAD to share this short and powerful phrase that will help you transform your negative feelings of jealousy into the energy that can actually help you manifest more of what you want in your life.

It's actually so simple and so brilliant it's ridiculous!

If you've ever had these types of feelings, whether they were related to a relationship, a job, money, an experience you wanted to have (you name it)...then this episode is for you, because you DESERVE whatever it is you want in this life.

Last week we talked about why identifying the resistance you have to change in your life is so important, and after specifically instructing you to then go out and "make the change your bitch," I left you hanging.

I did not give one single piece of guidance or advice as to how to actually go about IMPLEMENTING that change you so desperately need to make, so today we are going to dive in, guys!

How many times have you set out with the best of intentions to make a positive change, only to give up a few short weeks later? I know I have...but with the simple strategy I'm about to share with you in this episode, you WILL be able to start implementing new habits and LASTING CHANGE into your life, no matter how big or insurmountable the goal may be.

There's no time to waste. Let's get crackin!

Have you ever noticed that the we tend to have the most resistance to those things that will actually help us grow the most?

And the funny thing is that no change or growth can happen WITHOUT resistance, so that resistance isn't actually holding you back...it's trying to SHOW YOU something!

Today we'll take a look inward, identify common areas of resistance, and discuss why facing that resistance is exactly what you need to do in order to get to the next level of YOU.

Are you actually spending TRUE quality time and making connections with the people you care about, or are you simply hanging out in the same room at the same time?

The universe implored me to discuss this very topic in this week's episode after conducting my own experiment to answer this question for myself.

I was blown away by what happened, and I know you will be, too. So let's jump in, because as it turns out, turning in to the quiet can actually help you have deeper and more meaningful connections with the one's around you in an instant!

I have been asking myself this question a lot lately as I continue to proceed through the process of grieving the loss of my mom. There has been so much to deal with and handle that it's been hard for me to slow down and reflect.

But as the chaos of the past few months is beginning to subside, I can't help but ponder how we determine the significance and meaning in our lives.

Let's take a look inward and see what turns up.

If you're anything like me, sometimes you just cannot find the motivation to do the things you committed to doing and will find any excuse to procrastinate...cue up the self deprecation demons, and you've got a cocktail for mental defeat.

So where does motivation come from anyway? And once we have it, how do we maintain it?

These are the burning questions I'll be covering today in this episode of the Life's a Dance Podcast, because, trust me when I say, I have been there! I, too, struggle with these feelings of almost every day, but the good news is that with a liiiiittle bit of effort, we can win the game over sloth and excuses, and eventually come out on top

LFG, guys!

As I have progressed along my journey through spiritual awakening and personal development, I have found a theme that has not only come up in my studies, but also in my actual life. And that theme (or lesson) is that "people are our assignments."

The people that we connect with in our lives, especially the annoying ones, were put here strategically to show us something (or multiple things) that our soul needs to correct - things like impatience, jealousy, anger, self-righteousness, entitlement, etc.

And recently I have had to come face-to-face with the reality of this concept through some of the people in my life - namely, my ex-husband and my daughter.

Let's dive into some real life examples and learn why you have to pay attention to the people who drive you crazy in your life, because the universe is trying to show you something!
