Do Life Big

What’s up? I hope you’re ready to take on the day like the powerhouse you are! I’m absolutely pumped to share something exciting with you today, and I just couldn’t wait to let you in on it.

First things first—mark your calendar because my Mindset Accelerator Program (yep, the one that transforms your mental game) is gearing up to open its doors very soon! 🗓️ But here’s the deal—this isn’t one of those “sign up whenever” things. Nope! I only open the doors a few times a year, and when I do, they’re only open for a hot minute. ⚡️ So if you want to be one of the first to know when the doors swing open, head over to mindsetaccelerator.com and pop in your email. You’ll be the first to get the scoop! 📬 And hey, if you’ve got a friend who could use a serious mindset boost, share the love and pass this along.

Now, let me fill you in on something pretty wild—my journey with 75 Hard! If you’ve been following along, you know this program is all about developing mental toughness, discipline, and finding out just how far you can push yourself. We’re talking 75 days of straight-up grit. 😤

Here’s the rundown:

• Two workouts a day (one of them outside)—I’ve been rocking a 45-minute beach walk every morning with a 12-pound weighted vest, and it’s been awesome! 🌊
• Drink a gallon of water—flush out those toxins! 💧
• Stick to a nutrition plan—I’m all about high-protein and veggies, no fried food, no sweets, and definitely no alcohol (that’s the toughie for me)! 🍗🥦
• 10 minutes of reading every day—keeping that mind sharp. 📚
• Daily progress pics—gotta document the journey! 📸

Let me tell you, I’m on day 5, and last night was a serious test of willpower. Nick and I have this tradition of going out for date night—usually, it’s drinks at our favorite bar, but this time... no drinks. 😳 We walked into our favorite sushi place, and let me tell you, I felt every bit of that temptation. But we stuck to our guns, ordered some sushi, and called it a night. (Though there was a crazy moment with a rogue sushi roll and a piece of plastic—don’t even get me started! 😱)

Honestly, it’s these early days of forming new habits that are the toughest. Everything we do seems to revolve around a drink in hand, but hey, I’m all about embracing the challenge! 💪 I’ve already noticed I’m feeling clearer, more focused, and just overall... better. So, I’m curious to see how this journey unfolds.

But here’s the thing—I’m not cutting out alcohol for life. Nope, that’s just not me. But this challenge? It’s about proving to myself that I can do hard things. And I know you can too!!!

You know, the one that loves to throw doubts our way just when we're about to chase our dreams? We’re getting real about how to quiet that voice and take bold action towards the life we want. Whether it’s starting a new habit, kicking old ones, or just finding the courage to go after your biggest goals, this episode is all about helping you push past the self-doubt and do life BIG.

So, if you’re ready for some real talk, a few laughs, and a lot of motivation, hit play and let’s dive in together!
