With 2021 finally here, you’ve probably been hearing all about goal setting and starting the new year off right. Well, if you listened to our previous episode then you know more people actually don’t set goals. Whether it’s because of lack of belief, lack of discipline, or just an unwillingness to get out of your comfort zone, we shared the 10 reasons why people refuse to set goals. 

In continuation of last week's episode, we’re sharing the flip side of that and WHY it’s so important to set goals and how you can crush them in the new year. 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed…

• Dream big (13:42)

Before...

Question: Do you set goals every year? Or do you set goals every month? Or maybe you don’t set goals at all? 

As we start the new year, we wanna know why so many people don’t set goals or they do but never get far with them. 

Coming out of 2020, which was a year that was flipped upside down in terms of goals and plans, it’s no surprise that people are hesitant to create goals leading into 2021. But just because plans got flipped in 2020, doesn’t mean we haven’t learned to pivot our goals and plans in the year to come. 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed…

• They are stuck and just staring at the problem (13:13)
• They don’t know how to get out of the problem (15:04)
• They lack belief (16:05)
• They lack discipline (18:57)

It’s THROWBACK Tuesday this week on the PUSH Podcast and we’re taking you back to episode 11, Leaving All Your B.S. In 2019! 

As we come to a close on the dumpster fire year, 2020, we think it’s important to break down the ABC’S of reflection and goal setting!

• How to integrate the ABCs to win in the new year (38:06)

Although this year was a disappointment to say the least; we were challenged in so many ways that only allowed us to grow and learn even more about ourselves. 

This year was not about receiving everything you’ve ever wanted. This year was about being grateful for everything you have. That’s why this week’s episode is...

Do you find yourself being taken advantage of over and over again? Do you feel like you’re constantly settling and never getting what you truly want? 

Friend, it may be because your boundaries suck when it comes to your relationships! 

Relationships and other aspects of life would be so different if we learned to create boundaries. 

We wouldn’t settle for potential. We wouldn’t put up with the way others speak to us. We wouldn't accept less than what we deserve. 

Yet, so many of us suffer in our relationships because we don’t know how to set boundaries! 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed… 

• Setting boundaries to protect your family's health (05:13)

Shit happens and unfortunately it’s stuff we have no control over. 

Listen, nobody wakes up inviting problems into their lives with open arms. But the reality of life is that we’re not always in control of ALL of the things that happen to us on a daily basis. 

In this episode we’re talking about life’s ups and downs and how to stay focused on the things you can control versus manifesting the things you can’t.

• where your focus goes, your energy flows (45:10)

Your mindset is EVERYTHING. 

So much of the way we live life and the approach we have in life comes down to our mindset and our attitude! 

So friend, if you have a shitty attitude, you’re going to attract more negativity into your life. And I don’t want that for you. So this week, Eddie and I are sharing how you can take back control of your mindset and how the right attitude can shape your life.

If 2020 was nothing like you imagined then sis you’re not alone! 

With 30 days left in the year that will NEVER end, we decided we wanted to share what 2020 has taught us so far. 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed…

• No matter what, humans need connection (28:56)
• We see the world very differently (32:48)

This year has by far been one of the most challenging, in more ways than one. Like everyone of you, Eddie and I had BIG, BIG plans for 2020 and they were immediately shut down once COVID hit. 

With all the adversity, we’ve gained so many lessons that we think could help you too. In fact, more often than not, we receive the biggest blessings in disguise through the challenges we face. You may...

When was the last time you had courage?

I was recently asked this question and to be honest it was so hard for me to think of something because in my opinion I’m courageous everyday! It’s just who I am as an individual. The shit I’ve gone through has forced me to PUSH through life on a daily basis so when I’m faced with adversity I do see it as being courageous. 

I’m not aware of it and I think most of the time, neither are you. We don’t think about courage in the moment because really we’re just taking action for something that we have to do. But courage comes in so many different ways. 

During this week’s PUSH, Eddie and I shared what it means to be courageous and how this newly discovered courage can lead to more confidence. 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed…

• How often do your exercise courage in your life (13:38)

“We sabotage the great things in our lives because deep down we don’t feel worthy of having great things”- Taressa Riazzi

We’re all victims of self sabotage, whether you believe it or not. In fact, at most times, our greatest self sabotage is when we are closest to reaching new opportunities and blessings. 

It holds us back from pushing us towards our goals and trying to level up in life. We become our own worst enemies by creating fake scenarios and adopting toxic behaviors that halt our progress. 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed… 

• Are you your own worst enemy? (11:19)

Do you ever wish we were given a handbook on HOW to live life??? I definitely do! 

Unfortunately, life isn’t supposed to be that easy. In fact, life is more like playing a game and it’s our job to figure out what “game” we’re trying to play in whatever season we’re in. 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed… 

• You gotta use it or lose it (09:10)
