1 MAY 2024 · Did you ever take the ACT or SAT in high school? Do you remember thinking about how this test would make or break your future? I do. On this week's podcast, we talk about our perception of big moments in our lives and how we can use them to our advantage, no matter what the outcome is.

21 MAR 2024 · Hey there, welcome back to the podcast! Hope you're all soaking up the lovely spring vibes and sneaking in some sunshine between your busy moments. Today, we're diving into a topic that's a bit like that weirdly shaped present you’re not sure how to unwrap: feedback.Ever received advice or comments that stuck with you for all the right (or wrong) reasons? Whether it's from a boss, your mom, that tough-love friend, or even the little voice in your head, we’ve all been there. Today's episode is all about the rollercoaster ride of feedback – from the gold stars to the face-palm moments.I'll be kicking things off with a little throwback to my culinary school days, where "It's good" turned from a pat on the back into an epic quest for the perfect consommé. Spoiler alert: this story involves soup, salt, and a sprinkle of self-discovery. But hey, this isn’t just about me stirring pots in the kitchen. It’s about all of us and how we handle the curveballs of criticism and praise. Do we shrug them off? Do we throw a mini fit? Or do we take a deep breath and use it as fuel to get better at our game?And because we’re all about keeping it real, I want you to think about how you give feedback too. Are you the cheerleader, the wise sage, or the brutally honest buddy? Let’s figure out how to be the feedback giver everyone needs – someone who helps others sparkle a bit brighter. So grab your beverage of choice, get comfy, and let's chat about all things feedback. It’s going to be a mix of stories, laughs, and maybe a lightbulb moment or two. And don’t forget, the convo continues on Instagram at Drive Your Thoughts Coaching – I’m dying to hear about the most memorable feedback you've ever received. Let's make this a two-way street of stories and insights!
