When I say this man has an incredible story...I am putting it mildly. To say that he had a difficult childhood…would be an understatement.   To have faced the hardships that he did….and the difficulties that he endured...and to have gone through things at a young age that no person should ever have to experience in their entire lives... To be now living his life as a tremendously successful, confident, happy man who is truly living into his passion and his purpose each and every day → is remarkable. His life has seen his share of ups and downs, but through it all he was always determined to be great.

Why do we get so WEIRD with money?  Money is such a sticky subject. And it makes people so uncomfortable to talk about. Frankly, talking about money just makes people act weird. And it’s because, as a whole, we have a weird relationship with money. We are afraid to set goals that include a financial aspect, or we don’t want to talk about it for risk of sounding superficial or braggart or we don’t want to put ourselves in a “less than/more than” situation with people. Let's dive into WHY we get so weird with money and how we can start to move forward. Spoiler alert → how you feel about money is tied to your mindset and how you feel about your own self worth. Yup, we are going there :) Want more content? Join my free members lounge for all my free tools and downloads --> https://charlotte-ferreux.mykajabi.com/store/GCgCFewi

Let's look at a major barrier that’s preventing you from reaching that next level of success - the F word. FEAR. Our mind is a powerful thing. It is programmed to protect us. It protects us from what we’ve gone through in the past, our own insecurities, our past experiences, physical pain and being vulnerable. Fear is a survival mechanism - that’s the good part. The problem is that our brain doesn’t know the difference between REAL danger and us just playing small. All it knows is fear. And that tells us not to do things. Do you have fears that are coming up for you? The fear of failure? Of rejection? Of putting yourself out there? Of ridicule? Of losing all your money and resources? In this podcast episode, I walk you through the steps to overcome this fear so that you are finally able to level up and achieve the things you want in life.  

Your decisions are costing you more than you think. And I’m not just talking about money. I recently got home from a trip to California where I was immersed in personal development, conferences, learning, growth and connections for 10 days. It was nothing short of incredible and the things I have gained are invaluable. But if I said it wasn’t a financial strain to travel to another country for 10 days, I’d be lying. If I made decisions based out of emotions, based out of fear, or based on nothing more than the short term benefit/loss analysis - then I may not have invested in going on this trip. But I know better. I know better for myself and for my business. Let’s get real and talk about the real cost when making decisions in our lives. And what does it cost to NOT make certain decisions? New on this episode - we dive into this topic. And I’ll walk you through the process I go through when I’m making decisions for myself. *Want more?

I just got home from a two week vacation with my family. We travelled across the country to visit family in Quebec and we truly had an amazing time.

We all have the same amount of time in a day. 24 hours. Yes, some of us wake up earlier and go to sleep later, allowing ourselves to have more hours in a functioning or working day. But in the end, we all have 24 hours. Are you using the time you are allowing yourself to work in productively?

Not everyone has the opportunity to work in a career that ignites them and leads them to passion daily, at that’s okay! But for those that do wish they could be in a passionate role and aren’t, but see others they know that are, bitterness can arise. And if it does, it is time to reevaluate your goals and passions and if you are choosing to take a gamble on those passions or if you are going to choose to remain in the resentment because you aren’t quite ready for the work. Bitterness and resentment become a deep, black hole that we all can get stuck in. If we allow bitterness to, it will take over our minds and our lives! It will begin to take over the happiness that we deserve to have. Begin by slowing the process down and listen to your feelings; pause to ask yourself some questions, reflect on your feelings, and listen to what your gut is telling you. That self-coaching truly leads you to being able to make leaps and bounds of forward motion to moving out of any bitterness. The choice to move out of the bi

Feelings of overwhelm are not uncommon in the professional world, especially for entrepreneurs! But the way we choose to handle the overwhelm is most important. Like all other choices we make, creating habits for the positive choices is what is going to guide us to lasting developmental growth when the overwhelm strikes. Learning how to implement these lasting habits will guide you to creating more peace--and I know we all strive for more peace!  Listen to this week's episode of Change by Choice to learn about the disciplines that are vital in creating peace rather than overwhelm. 

Accountability, it is one of the most important characteristics we should have! Being accountable and taking control of your actions is vital when it comes to advancing your life and making the most of your journey. We are living the ONLY life we get to live. Being robbed of joy and abundance has got to be the last thing you want! And if you’re feeling robbed, now is the time to make some changes to your mindset for growth, clarity, and positivity.

Knowing and understanding your truth requires checking in with yourself and checking in with yourself leads to an increase in self-love. Self-love takes showing up for yourself, it takes accepting and being committed to your good and bad and the course corrections that may come. Begin to love the process, trust the process, and enjoy the process of learning about yourself and your truth! The more you are able to jump into and learn about yourself, the stronger your self-love will grow. And that, is a beautiful thing!

How do you feel about the word and definition of mediocrity? Do you hate living in the mediocre mindset but still haven’t been honest with yourself that that’s where you’ve been? Accountability is our biggest partner and without it, growth and advancement out of mediocrity cannot happen. The first step to changing and removing yourself from a mediocre lifestyle is acknowledging it. If you do feel comfortable living a mediocre life, own it! And give yourself grace and peace with it. Allow yourself the opportunity to truly evaluate where you are in your life and with your goals and be honest with how you’re feeling. Are you uncomfortable, dissatisfied, and feeling rejection and conflict--be honest with yourself with those answers and decide to grow from it and figure a way to push through them!

Working around the clock as an high-level event planner, neglecting her health with food choices of pop tarts and a box of pasta, and leaving self-care as her last thought, Kim struggled with balance and confidence for years. It started and grew from her adolescence with a challenging family dynamic and succumbing to the neglect that she believed was normal. The submissive and tentative lifestyle and beliefs in herself didn’t stop until her twenties when she began to learn how much more she deserved. She learned that she had the ability to change her mindset, health, and lifestyle and to surround herself by people of love and positivity rather than negativity. She describes herself as a “former extreme pessimist to an obnoxious optimist.” Kim Gorski is the CEO of the brand, Balance Over Perfect where she mentors women to find more self-love, learn how to be insanely productive, and share how health & fitness changed her life. She has worked hard to create a brand she is proud of and a system to help we w
