Are you looking for someone to come alongside you and help give you guidance in your life?

On this episode of Giving Your Best Life, my mentee Sarah Vessely and I discuss what it’s like to have a mentorship.

We answer questions such as:

What should I look for in a mentor?

How do I ask someone to be my mentor?

How often should we meet?

What should I talk about with my mentor?

Is it important to meet in person?

Having a mentor for guidance and wisdom is just one way you can get to giving your best life!

No matter your age, gratitude is an important part of life. It’s easy to remember to thank some people - especially those you love and those who you see often.

But there are so many people who work behind the scenes to make our lives better - we don’t want to forget to thank them for their hard work and make them feel seen and loved.

Being grateful and loving others is just another way for you to get to giving your best life.

Your clutter affects more than just your physical space - it causes you mental and emotional stress as well. As a professional organizer, I share my tips on helping you declutter whether you’re in the moving process or you just want to live a bit more minimalistic and simplistic.

The stuff that is causing you stress can be used to help others by donating your books to a local library or giving items to a good cause that’s close to your heart. Getting rid of your extra stuff won’t just help clear your room (& your head), but it can be used to help others live better too!

Is there a really nice car that you’d like? When I worked for a big company, I had a really nice rental car for a couple of weeks and thought about buying that type of vehicle. My husband & I ended up doing some research and finding a similar vehicle in a similar color, but it saved us tens of thousands of dollars.

There are really nice cars out there, but all you really need is a reliable vehicle that gets you from point A to point B. You don’t want to make an emotional decision when you’re making a big financial decision such as buying a car.

Does social media bring you discontentment, frustration, debates, arguments? Do you feel like you waste time and energy on social media that could be used to build real life relationships?

I have a rule I use on social media that has helped me have more peace and less strife. This rule has helped me focus on sharing goodness rather than spewing negativity. This rule has helped me with uniting people rather than dividing people.

If you want more of this in your life, you might want to adopt my social media rule too!

Do you feel stuck by a set back? If you don’t now, you probably will at some point in life. My dad gave me the best advice when we were out trail running and I fell. I was complaining about the fall, even though I wasn’t injured. But he was focused on the positive truth: “It doesn’t matter that you fell; you got back up.” This has helped shape how I handle disappointments in life - whether it’s a lost job opportunity or a personal set back. When something doesn’t go your way, you can still find gratitude in seeing the positives in the situation. But perhaps the most important thing is to pause and pray. What does God want you to do with this disappointment? It might be to persevere and pursue the dream further. It might be to completely pivot to something new. Either way, don’t stay down when you fall - get back up!

Do you say “I’m sorry” all the time? Maybe when you don’t even really have anything to be sorry for? I was once told that I say “sorry” too much. In fact, overusing "sorry" can undermine the meaning when you do need to apologize. I’ve really tried to work on only saying sorry when I have a reason to. Here are some tips for not apologizing too often.
