32. The Power of Invisible Progress: How Small Steps Lead to Big Wins

Today, we’re diving into how those tiny, often unseen steps we take every day can add up to massive wins over time. Think of this as a heart-to-heart chat on a chairlift, reminiscing about life, relationships, and everything in between—snowboarding optional!

I’m sharing real-life updates from the wild world of parenting three kids (all at different stages), growing a business, staying well, and leveling up my mindset. You’ll hear how I’m tackling one of my biggest podcasting goals: ditching my editing obsession and getting better at speaking off the cuff.

This episode is packed with motivational nuggets, including stories from The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson, a metaphor about a piñata (trust me, it’ll make sense), and my chaotic-yet-transformative day that included migraines, reels, and a whole lot of feelings. Oh, and we’re talking about Growth Day 3.0—your new favorite tool for personal growth!

Stick around as I share how I turned my day around using self-coaching strategies, plus an invitation to join my Tea & Talkback with Tanya meetup where we can dive even deeper.
