Change and adversity are the only constant in this life, and if this year has taught us anything, it’s that the more you focus on building a solid foundation within yourself, the more external chaos you can handle.



For the rest of the summer, we’re doing a Summer Rewind, re-releasing some of our must-listen episodes as we ramp up to the launch of season two. See you in September friends!

It feels like change and adversity are the only constant in this life, and if this year has taught us anything, it’s that the more you focus on building a solid foundation within yourself, the more external chaos you can handle. 

Shifting our mindsets, perception and reactions is far from easy, but that’s the key to healthily recovering from turmoil and trauma. So, we called in mindset and success coach Leisse Wilcox to teach us everything we need to know about how to cultivate mental resilience and turn whatever life throws at you into a beautiful story. 

And Liesse is not just your average coach. She is a coveted mindset coach, podcast host, AND bestselling author, who is changing the global conversation on emotional health & wellness. She literally wrote the book on turning adversity into opportunities for growth, joy and beauty. 

Listen to our chat with Liesse to learn more about:

  • Our tools for bouncing back from adversity

  • Why your mindset matters

  • The meaning of emotional alchemy (turning the dark and heavy pieces of your life into something beautiful and light)

  • Leisse’s 10 steps to cultivating emotional alchemy

  • How to avoid toxic positivity and *actually* deal with your sh*t

  • Ways to process and feel your feelings

  • How to make a difficult life change with grit and grace

  • The importance of staying in the present moment and “zooming out”

  • Why gratitude is the key to mindset

We hope this episode helps you center yourself and find grace in these ~unprecedented~ times.

Episode 50: How To Know When It’s Time To Quit

We’ve all heard the saying “quitters never win and winners never quit”…it’s a mindset instilled in us from an early age, but is it *really* true? Spoiler alert: no, it is not. Letting something go when it’s no longer right for you isn’t a weakness or a failure. Be it a job, a relationship or even a habit, making the difficult decision to quit something can be the ultimate act of self-preservation.

Letting something go when it’s no longer right for you isn’t a weakness or a failure. Be it a job, a relationship or even a habit, making the difficult decision to quit something can be the ultimate act of self-preservation. 

Seriously, we’re big fans of moving on from jobs or situations that don’t serve us, and quitting has led to some of our biggest successes!

We’re living through The Great Resignation right now with North Americans quitting their jobs at record high rates, and if we’ve collectively learned anything from the last two chaotic years, it’s that our BS tolerance is at an all-time low, and we deserve to start prioritizing the things that bring us joy, growth and fulfillment. #YOLO!

So, this week we’re flipping the script on quitting and redefining success for ourselves. There’s only 24-hours in a day, let’s make sure they’re filled with the stuff that matters.

Join us as we discuss:

  • Redefining the narrative around quitting

  • Why society is entering "The Great Resignation"

  • How to know when it's time to quit

  • Our biggest lessons for letting go

  • What quitting can mean for your career and for creating new opportunities

  • Choosing yourself over toxic situations

  • How to quit well and leave on a high note

We hope this episode helps guide your decisions, and empowers you to find success on your own terms. You got this!
