Oprah Winfrey once advised: “Turn your wounds into wisdom.”
When we’re in action, learning new skills and taking risks, some of the best lessons we learn are from our mistakes and our losses. When we push past the loss and learn from the experience, we achieve true wisdom. We realize that loss doesn’t define us; it’s just part of the journey.
Of course, learning lessons doesn’t always have to be a struggle.
We can also gain wisdom from the fun times in life. For instance, if we want to know what authentic Italian food tastes like, we can go to Italy and find out. If we want to learn firsthand about the amazing culture of London, we don’t have to read about it in a book; we can go to London and explore it for ourselves.
It’s very cool to gain wisdom through life experiences. But there’s another way that wisdom comes to us as we work on our goals: through mentors and advisors we seek out.
Luckily, there are all kinds of people who are wise in any area you’re working on. Adding mentors to your life and nurturing those relationships is a strategy that will get you to your goals faster—by learning through their experiences and expertise.
Let me ask a question: Could you amplify your life and gain wisdom through your own experience and the experience of others?
Coaching people in working on life changes is something I do through a unique coaching program designed around the bestselling book and lifestyle formula: Oola.
More than 20 years ago, two holistic physicians—Dr. Dave Braun and Dr. Troy Amdahl—created Oola to help people establish new habits, practice new ways of living, and take those daily actions that are key to bringing life into balance (then keeping it that way).
I became a Certified Oola Life Coach to help others achieve this same balance and start creating an even better future.
Shouldn’t we talk about where you want to go in life? It takes just 30 minutes to find out how the Oola coaching formula + weekly coaching sessions (just the two of us) can get you there. Message me about it and let’s jump on a call soon.
You are smart, successful, beautiful and accomplished. You’re capable, lovable, talented, and interesting. In fact, your life has so much potential.
One way to achieve that potential is to keep powerful goals in front of you.
For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been talking about decluttering your life and getting ready to pursue your unique life purpose.
Now the rubber meets the road: it’s time to set goals and assign daily tasks that are the stepping stones to achieving the extraordinary life that’s waiting for you.
One goalsetting strategy that I learned from human-potential experts Dave Braun and Troy Amdahl—authors of the bestselling book, Oola: Find Balance in an Unbalanced World—is to set 21 goals, then narrow those to 7 goals you can truly focus on. When you do decide on those 7, you can further narrow your list to the one goal that will literally transform and amplify your life once you achieve it. It might be:
• Go back to school and get an advanced degree
• Land your dream job or start your dream business
• Lose 50 pounds or upgrade your style
• Meet your soulmate and start a new life as a couple
• Retire early and travel the world as a blogger
What’s the single most powerful goal in your life that will really move your life ahead? What’s the one goal that’s worth pursuing with passion? Drop a comment below and share it with us (if it’s not too personal).
The fact is that your dream life is waiting for you on the other side of your goals. As a Certified Oola Life Coach, I work with individuals to create goals that matter, then pursue them intelligently and efficiently until they’re achieved. In fact, I’ve teamed up with Dave and Troy to bring you the Oola Coaching Program designed to help you bring balance and set goals in all 7 major life areas: Fitness, Finance, Family, Field, Faith, Friends and Fun. Not only does bringing balance lower your stress, it also frees your mind to achieve the dream life you really want.
Message me to talk about how coaching works to improve your finances, career, business, wellness, relationships and more.
Don’t settle for ordinary when extraordinary is within you.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been posting about decluttering your life and making space for something new.
But have you thought about what “new” means for you?
Inside all of us is a life purpose . . . a reason you were put on this Earth. There’s a unique calling on your life that requires your attention. And while most people float through their day unaware of the bigger picture, the truth is that you are here to be, do and have a life that’s exceptional.
Clarifying what that exceptional purpose is—then organizing your lifestyle to bring about this dreamy future—is what will transform your life into an awesome journey.
But how do you know what your life purpose is?
• What inspires you to wake up and tackle your day?
• What career is so much fun you’d do it for free?
• What activity calls to you and gives you joy?
Whatever your big vision is, drop a comment below and tell us about it (if it’s not too personal). Then go one step further and share one thing you could do to start pursuing that vision.
Of course, if you could use some help clarifying your unique life purpose, then get help making serious lifestyle changes in order to pursue it, I have good news: I’ve teamed up with Oola authors Dr. Dave Braun and Dr. Troy Amdahl to bring you a 10-week focused approach to creating a life that’s balanced, purposeful, and growing.

“Get rid of clutter and you may just find it was blocking the door you’ve been looking for.”
I love this quote from author Katrina Mayer. It reminds me that, if we don’t continually tend to our environment and time commitments, then clutter builds, emails overwhelm, workspaces can become unrecognizable, and our calendar soon exhausts us. We don’t feel like we have time to do anything productive, so we end up immobilized—doing nothing, instead of working on our goals.
If this describes your life, the key is to create space for something new, while focusing on positive, long-term goals.
If the past year has been a blur of too much stress, too many time bandits stealing your future, and an overall feeling that you can’t escape the clutter that’s impacting your day-to-day life, why not start working on creating a life that’s balanced, growing and purposeful instead?
It’s time to strip away the clutter of everyday life and truly live the authentic desires of your heart as if nothing else matters.
More than 20 years ago, two holistic physicians—Dr. Dave Braun and Dr. Troy Amdahl—created Oola to help people establish new habits, practice new ways of living, and take those daily actions that are key to bringing life into balance (then keeping it that way). Today, “The OolaGuys” are founders with countless successful clients around the world.
I discovered for myself that the Oola formula helps calm the chaos and bring balance to major areas of life, including fitness, finances, family, career, and more. I became a Certified Oola Life Coach to help others achieve this same balance and start creating an even better future.

You deserve it. Your dreams are worth it. Let’s work together on getting you to the Oola Life.
Have you noticed? It’s all too easy to overcomplicate our lives with too many commitments, too much financial stress, and not enough downtime. We fill our days with activities and priorities that don’t really contribute to the ultimate dream life we want to create. In a way, these complications are actually robbing us of our future.
So what’s the solution? Simplify.
If you’ve been following my posts, you know I’m big into calming the chaos, de-stressing your day, and getting what you want in the 7 major areas of life. It’s something I learned from Dr. Dave Braun and Dr. Troy Amdahl—The OolaGuys—who teach how to create balance in our unbalanced world.
Now, as a Certified Oola Life Coach, I help clients address what’s not working for them in the areas of fitness, finance, field (career), family, faith, friends and fun. Then we go to work correcting those stressors and bringing about the lifestyle, relationships and financial security they need to be happy, balanced and growing.
So what could your Oola lifestyle look like once you simplify? To begin, could you:
Fitness: Trade that TV show for a walk after dinner?
Finance: List your debts and pay off the smallest ones?
Family: Establish a no-electronics-on-Sundays policy?
Field: Streamline the stressful parts of your job?
Faith: Trade social media time for meditation time?
Friends: Distance yourself from toxic friends?
Fun: Seek out local after-work activities you enjoy?
Overcommitment and stress has no place in your amazing life. So whatever’s stressing you, make your list, then let’s talk about how you can simplify before working on bringing about your dream life.
Of course, the 7 areas above come from The OolaGuys. If you’ve been following my past posts, you know that I’ve joined forces with Dave and Troy to bring my followers the Oola formula via a 10-week coaching experience designed to transform your life, your finances, your relationships and more.
