In this episode, Anna finds inspiration from John Maxwell’s book The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth, specifically Chapter 8, The Law of Pain.
Maxwell argues that bad experiences are not setbacks but growth opportunities. Managing them wisely leads to greater wisdom and maturity.
Life is unpredictable and sometimes throws us an unexpected curve ball. No one has a perfectly happy life. To be human is to experience painful, difficult situations in our professional and personal lives. But as humans we also have the ability to learn and grow from the pain.

When you take life too seriously, you can develop an unclear view of what's worth your time and energy. You might find that you spend less time laughing and more time being busy.

As that persists, we might find ourselves struggling with making confident decisions, especially about our future.

She helps her clients tackle the beliefs or stories that hold them back, and gives them the tools they need to naturally exude more confidence, which helps them in every area of their life.
Listen in as Tamara and I discuss:
- How self-awareness can lead us toward our life purpose.

Leadership is not what you do, it is who you are. And one ability that can significantly influence your effectiveness as a leader is how you connect with those you lead.
Success in any career takes mastering certain skills. Among these, one essential yet often overlooked attribute is emotional intelligence (EI or EQ for emotional quotient). But what is emotional intelligence and why is it important?
Emotional intelligence is the capacity to recognize, understand and manage our own emotions and to empathize effectively with the emotions of others. It is about forging a deeper connection with our own emotions and those of others.
In this episode of Monday Morning Mojo, Anna and her coach Terrie Foster-Nowland delve into the concepts of EI and why we need to understand and develop it. They will explore ways to improve our emotional intelligence and examine how this will help us to become better and more effective at what we do- especially leading others.
So, if you work with people – this is super important! EI plays a pivotal role in developing strong relationships, fostering a positive work environment and facilitating successful outcomes.
Drawing from her extensive experience spanning 15 years as a coach, Terrie brings a wealth of expertise in guiding individuals to understand and elevate their emotional intelligence quotient (EIQ).
Listen in as Anna and Terrie discuss:
- The definition of Emotional Intelligence and why it’s important in our lives.
- Why the business world is paying more attention to Emotional Intelligence.
- The biggest questions we can ask ourselves in order to develop our EI.
- Understanding our strengths and weaknesses
Resources Mentioned in the Show:
- Free Webinar: Unlocking the Secrets to Advance in Your Career
- Harvard Business Study on The Power of Emotional Intelligence
Quotes to Remember:
- You have to be committed to change or growth.
- Everybody's a leader. Whether you think you are or aren't, you are because someone's watching you. ~ John Maxwell
- Leadership is influence; nothing more, nothing less. ~ John Maxwell
Journal Prompts to Develop Your EI:
- How can I apply emotional intelligence to my own leadership style?
- How do I show empathy in my daily interactions?
- When do I feel most in-tune with my emotions, and why?

Hi there! It’s me, Anna and I’m your friend. And that’s why we are going to get real in this episode and be honest about the fact that sometimes, we are just not honest with ourselves.
Here’s the thing, we have an inner dialogue that is constantly playing in our minds. You know it, that little voice in your head. Sometimes, that voice might not be telling you the truth. Especially when it starts telling you the things you can’t do.
Our thoughts can oftentimes become the stories we tell ourselves. Stories that may not be true about who we are or what we are capable of. We create these stories for different reasons and sometimes these stories just mask the lies we are believing about ourselves and our potential. These lies become the excuses we begin to live by which is why we might be struggling to have the life we say we really want.
What stories or lies are you telling yourself?
What effect is that story having on your life?
What would life look like if you stopped believing the lies and reframed your thinking?
Listen to this episode right now if
- you’re tired of the excuses you’ve been hiding behind
- you’re ready to shift your mindset and get out of your own way.
- you know it’s time to start living and letting go of the fear and limitations that have been holding you back.
Resources Mentioned in the Show:
- The Millionaire Real Estate Agent by Gary Keller (book)
Quotes to Remember:
- Failure is part of succeeding.
