I’m willing to bet you’ve either heard someone mention “The 5 Love Languages” recently, or you’ve read the book, or you’ve given the book as a wedding gift to a beloved friend. This book has taken the world by storm, remaining on the New York Times bestseller list consistently since 2009!
My all-star guest, Dr Gary Chapman, shares his brilliant framework for understanding how people give and receive love and appreciation.Dr Gary Chapman is the author of The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts® and many other books.
In this episode, you will learn:More about the 5 Love Languages:
Words of Affirmation
Quality Time
Receiving Gifts
Acts of Service
Physical Touch
How you can tell which your primary love language is
Why it’s important to ‘keep our love tank full’
What couples can do when they are drifting apart
What some couples believe about marriage and relationships that simply isn’t true
How you can share the love languages with a partner who has a different belief system
How you can apply these principles at work and in your family
Dr. Chapman is an absolute delight. He’s funny, down-to-earth and shares so much wisdom in this all-star episode recorded back in 2018. I hope it brings a smile to your face, and offers you a compass to help navigate tricky relationships this season.
I can only hope that I’ll be this bright, warm and full of sparkle at age 81 like he is.

Now more than ever, we need this… kids are going back-to-school, the world is reopening again, and we’re organizing our lives in a new way. It’s all about re-prioritizing your schedule and dusting off the routines that keep you thriving.
My special guest today is Nache Snow and she’s simplifying how to organize your life and make more time. We spoke in September 2020 and so much of what she shared back then is incredibly relevant to us all now. It’s time to get back to the basics, do less, and give ourselves permission to (truly) rest more to recharge and flip the script on productivity altogether.
Here’s how.

Stepping back out into the world might require a supercharge of your self-confidence. Things are opening back up again (ever so slowly) and the world is finding its pace once again. But are you?
Thrilled to present another all-star episode from The Simplifiers Podcast vault, this round, we are talking all about how to supercharge your self-confidence featuring a recent conversation with author Kate Eckman. We spoke in April 2021 and that conversation really stuck in my mind for ages afterward. She believes that when we take good care of our inner world, our outer world takes care of itself. All of this is rooted in research-backed strategies in neuroscience and whole-person coaching, with a specific focus on all three parts equally: mind-body-spirit.
Here’s how.
My all-star special guest today is Kate Eckman and she’s simplifying how to supercharge your self-confidence.We tackle all aspects of it, including:
Why she believes we are prone to a lack of self-confidence these days, especially as women… What’s underneath it all, hidden away and keeping us from what we really want in life
Society puts such an emphasis on our physical bodies, to lose weight and stay healthy… why she believes it’s time to focus on “shedding excess emotional and spiritual pounds” instead
What “The Full Spirit Workout” is and the ten steps that’ll supercharge your self-confidence from the inside out:
Stretch your comfort zone
Lift yourself up
Feel the burn
Strengthen your core confidence
Build your emotional muscles
Boost your mental metabolism
Step up your spiritual stamina
Embrace your endorphins
Rock the freedom freestyle
Cool down with inner calm
How to strengthen your core confidence through trust and the 5 Ps
Presence
Patience
Purpose
Preparation
Practice
…and ultimately, how to boost your “mental metabolism” to help you shift through any mindset blocks and help you see opportunities where you once saw insurmountable hurdles.
I’m so thrilled if this is the first time you’ve heard of Kate Eckman and her work because I’m willing to bet you’ll really resonate with her story and what she’s learned along the way.
If you’ve struggled with the feeling of “not enough-ness” in your work or life, my hope is that you find the answer to break free from that vicious cycle today. And more importantly, that you remember, the key to everything you desire and the ability to supercharge your self-confidence is actually within you right here, right now. It’s closer than you think…
Q: Are you ready to supercharge your self-confidence? If yes, this one is for you.It’s time to #DoTheThing!

If you’ve been in a rut lately, maybe it’s time to rewire your thinking patterns. Our brains are a fascinating thing… We are so quick to believe that our thoughts are all real. That what swirls in our brain is the truth that your entire perception of your life experience is built upon. But what if it isn't fully true?
My special all-star guest today is author Thomas Sterner and he’s simplifying how to rewire your thinking patterns. You’ll gain a better understanding of your conscious and unconscious thinking to open your mindset to new ways of perceiving what’s happening in your life and all around you.
Here’s how.
My special all-star guest today is Thomas Sterner and he’s simplifying how to rewire your thinking patterns. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:Why humans are “victims of automated thinking” vs realizing that we are the master creator of our thoughts.

What “deliberate thinking” is and why he believes it can give us emotional freedom.
How to tell the difference between a reaction and a response.
…And ultimately, he shares a concept called “Heartmath” and how it can help you to effectively communicate with others.
When you peel back the layers of the onion, you realize that how you perceive what’s happening to you in your life is literally affecting every other aspect of how you move through life. Even the notion of “what’s happening TO you” vs “what’s happening FOR you” is one to take a moment to consider. Are you always on the defense, with your guard up and very rarely letting people (and opportunities) in?

Today, we are talking all about how to harness your inner power - what it is, how to tap into it and how it’ll help you gain more confidence no matter what situation you are in. And I mean, really… who doesn’t want more of that, right??!
My all-star special guest today is leadership coach Wendy C. Williams and she’s simplifying how to harness your inner power. She advises businesses all around the world, training leaders to tap into their own source of personal power. Through this practice of understanding that “everything is energy” - her clients have gained confidence, learn how to show up with authenticity and as a result, they build and lead highly productive teams.
Here’s how.
My all-star special guest today is Wendy C. Williams and she’s simplifying how to harness your inner power.We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:
How she defines what “inner power” is and is NOT - she busts the misconceptions some have about power and goes much deeper than surface level
spoiler alert: authentic power is not about dominating others… it’s time to deprogram the patriarchy, friends!
What she means by “acquiring energy eyes” in order to read the room and also read yourself, energetically and how you show up in a space
One super simple, practical way you can harness your inner power when you are about to do something big and scary in your work, such as a big pitch meeting or having a tough conversation
…and ultimately, what the difference is between your ego and your soul and how to communicate between the two for greater alignment and a foundation of inner strength.
This conversation was such a delight! And about halfway into it, she led me through an exercise where I needed to get a bit vulnerable and share a question I’ve had on my heart for a while now to gain deeper clarity in my own work trajectory…
I decided to leave this bit in because well, we’re all human and I hope seeing a little bit behind my “Wizard of Oz” curtain was of value to you, especially if you’re contemplating the same. Friends, we learn together and so, if you’re here now, it means you and I were put together in perfect, Divine timing. So, I hope this episode provides a fresh perspective for you, especially if you’ve been feeling a little stuck lately or have lost your mojo somewhere along the way.

Here’s another all-star episode that I love so much and wanted to share with you today. As we round out this month's theme of “self-discipline” I think this topic is the perfect one to help us bring it all home.
Today, we are talking all about how to finish that next big project… no, really. Done, finished, tick it off the list, stick a fork in it, and be DONE. But the problem is… most projects we start, we never finish them! Why is that??!
My special guest today is author Bridgit Dengel Gaspard and she’s simplifying how to finish that next big project. You see, she’s got a theory that the reason we mysteriously stop within sight of the finish line is actually because not all parts of you want what you think you want. In fact, these sub-personalities inside you have a distorted loyalty to your core negative beliefs and that’s what is keeping you stuck.
Here’s how to squash all of that.
My special guest today is Bridgit Dengel Gaspard and she’s simplifying how to finish that next big project.Why driven, go-getter, type-A kind of people tend to lose steam just before completing a big goal in their life
What the “Final 8th” is and how to overcome any self-sabotage when you’re working towards your goals personally or professionally
How to speak to your inner selves for clarity and insight through a technique called voice dialogue
Why it’s just as important to uncover our “core negative beliefs” as well as your core values to get at the root of things
… and ultimately, what the key difference is between a person who achieves their goals easily vs. those who don’t.
If you’ve ever bought a book or an online course you haven’t finished… invested in a mastermind and then fizzled out halfway through… or started a DIY project and left it to collect dust, my friend, this episode (that originally aired in September 2020) is especially for you.
You have the power to create the life you really want to live, if only you simply remembered what’s possible… and make Bold Asks for what you need, want, and desire. Today is a fresh start and a new beginning.
You can do it, I believe in you… it’s time to simplify!

My special guest today is author Justin Jones-Fosu and he’s simplifying how to respectfully disagree, both at work and at home. As you think about the potential critical conversations that might happen today or this week ahead, I hope today’s conversation gives you deeper insight on how to keep your cool, not get triggered, but equally, how to gain a deeper understanding of the other side (even if you still disagree after that), so you can maintain a strong working relationship built on dignity, being valued, and solid respect.
Here’s how.
My special guest today is Justin Jones-Fosu and he’s simplifying how to respectfully disagree. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:Why he’s not a big fan of the term “civil discourse” and instead, he suggests there’s a better way to frame things so your communication comes from the heart.
What “golden respect” is and how it can help you become a better listener and communicator.
How your earliest role models in life are the ones who’ve shaped your communication style now. He talks about his earliest memories of his mom and how she “planted the seeds of humanity” in him that rooted his current work in respectful conversations.
What the 5 pillars of respectfully disagreeing are and 1-2 practical tips that you can test out today.
Challenge your perspective
Be the student
Cultivate your curiosity
Seek the gray
Agree to respect
…and ultimately, when someone says something to you that is especially triggering and/or emotionally charged to get a rise out of you, how to handle that situation in the best possible way, moving forward.

Here’s how.

Here’s how to declutter your workspace in just seven minutes… but I want to do this one in a slightly different way. Instead of talking about theory, I want to make this a working episode, meaning in the next seven minutes, you and I are going to declutter our offices together. By the end of this episode, you’ll have made progress on refreshing your space and ultimately, feel proud that you did the thing.
It’s time to do the thing and declutter your workspace.Ok, so here’s how this is going to work… you’ll need to gather a few basic supplies and be ready to take action.
Here are the supplies you need:Wet wipes or some cleaning spray and paper towels
Post-it® notes and a pen
Trash bin
And if you don’t have those things, no biggie… just improvise. Don’t let this stop you from doing the thing.
Ok, using your Post-it® notes, create four piles:Keep and file
Recycle or trash
To do this week
To do next week
Press “pause,” write out those four categories and place them in the four different corners of your work space. Once you’ve done that, hit “play” and then we can get started.
Alright, ready to go? Awesome. I’m going to set a 7-minute timer for us… starting now. Just listen to my voice and get ‘err done!
Big things to tackle:Take everything off your desk… make space.
Sort through the stacks of paper, mail and/or bills. What can you file away? What can you recycle?
Are there things that don’t belong here? Put them back in their spot (dishes, hoodies, bags, etc).
Take time to dust all surfaces, wiping down your desk, your electronics, and screens.
Okay, how was that for you? Did you make some progress on your workspace? Were you able to declutter things even just a little bit? Also, did you find that the accountability of having a buddy doing it alongside you was a helpful motivator?? I know that helps me take action on things that I’m procrastinating on.
So, well done on decluttering your workspace! It’s amazing what you can accomplish in seven minutes like that. Feel free to do it over and over again if you need a longer session.And let me know if you like this experimental format of The Simplifiers Podcast… if you guys dig this, I’ll make more #dothething style episodes in the future and sprinkle them in.
