Ever skipped picking up an umbrella before you left the house, only to later find yourself caught in a storm—drenched? Or left your grocery list in the car and forgot the butter? Life is full of little “I’ll deal with it later” moments—and they add up.

In this short episode, Penny shares why waiting until January to plan your success is the same trap in disguise. Don’t wait for the storm or the new year—take action now and set yourself up to step into 2026 with clarity, energy, and confidence.

🍸CLARITY COCKTAIL QUOTE 🍸

“Procrastination is like a credit card: it’s a lot of fun until you get the bill.” ~ Christopher Parker

.

STRATEGIES INSIDE THE PODCAST

Here are three ideas Penny shares to help you kickstart success today and avoid those “umbrella moments” in life:

1. Listen to the nudge. If something inside you is whispering, “You should grab the umbrella”—pay attention. That’s your intuition.
2. Stop outsourcing progress to the calendar. The flip of a page doesn’t flip your habits.
3. Take one intentional step now. Not someday. Not “after the holidays.” Now.

In this episode, host Penny Casselman returns after a break to share a transformative story and she opens up about her own “Red Marker Moment”—a big, bold choice that turned her life upside down and forced her to stop settling for “fine.” Through the upheaval of letting go Penny learned that resilience isn’t just about pushing through tough times—it’s about knowing when to hit pause, realign, and choose yourself.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or like you’re just going through the motions, this episode is your reminder that real strength comes from self-trust, grace, and making decisions that honor your vision for the future.

So, grab your favorite beverage and join Penny as she explores how embracing the pause can lead you to a more exciting, passionate life—and how you can create your own Red Marker Moment to start fresh, too.

🍸CLARITY COCKTAIL QUOTE 🍸

You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.

~ Zig Ziglar

.

STRATEGIES INSIDE THE PODCAST

Strategies you can use to help you strengthen and flex your PERSUASION muscle and move you towards success!

Let’s keep it easy to remember: Acknowledge, Amplify, Affect.

1. Acknowledge
   Start by recognizing their reality.
   → “I know you’ve got a lot on your plate right now…”
   This builds trust and shows you’re not simply focused on your outcome.
   
   
2. Amplify
   Paint a picture of what’s possible for them.
   → “Imagine how much smoother things could run if…”
   This stirs motivation by tying your ask to something meaningful or rewarding for them—either internally (joy, growth, ease) or externally (recognition, reward).
   
   
3. Affect
   People move when they feel.
   → Share a quick story, use a passionate tone, or connect the dots emotionally.
   → “When we pulled this off last time, you were lit up—let’s recreate that.”

In this episode, she unpacks the science behind confidence, the importance of movement (both physically and emotionally), and provides practical, bite-sized strategies to help you boost your self-assurance every single day. Whether it’s making a declaration with a “red marker,” striking a power pose, or simply celebrating small wins, Penny is here to guide you through the wobbles and the wins on your journey to a phenomenal life.

Pour yourself your favorite beverage and get ready to shake things up as you learn how to pivot with passion and ride the confidence wave forward!

.

STRATEGIES INSIDE THE PODCAST

Strategies you can use to help you strengthen and flex your confidence muscle and move you towards success!

🟢 Power Poses: Stand tall, shoulders back, chin up—for 2 minutes. It boosts testosterone and lowers cortisol (aka, stress). It’s your built-in body armor.

🟢 Breath Work: Try this: take 3 slow, deep breaths before a tough convo or meeting. Breathe through your nose, out through your mouth. It grounds your nervous system fast.

🟢 Daily Courage Challenge: Choose one small, uncomfortable thing each day: ask a question, say no, speak up. Micro-bravery builds self-trust.

🟢 Celebration Ritual: After any confidence-building moment, mark it. Say “I did that!” out loud. Give yourself a wink in the mirror. Whatever makes you feel good. Celebrate the evidence.

In today’s episode, Penny explores the powerful, yet often overlooked, influence our thoughts have on our lives. Have you ever considered what would happen if you believed every thought that crossed your mind? Penny challenges us to step back and question the narratives we often accept as truth—reminding us that not every thought deserves our trust, especially the ones that hold us back.

As always, Penny starts by celebrating the small wins and encourages listeners to do the same, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging our daily accomplishments—no matter how minor they may seem. She shares personal anecdotes, like assembling patio furniture, and uses these relatable moments as a springboard for bigger conversations on mindset.

Throughout the episode, Penny breaks down practical strategies to help you reframe limiting beliefs, ask better questions, and even speak your thoughts aloud to gain new perspective. She brings in wisdom, like Eleanor Roosevelt’s inspiring words, and introduces actionable tools and free resources designed to help you break free from feeling stuck.

So grab your favorite drink, get comfortable, and get ready for an honest, uplifting conversation about taking charge of your thoughts—and your life. It’s time to rewrite the script in your head, pivot with passion, and move confidently towards the phenomenal life you deserve.

.

STRATEGIES INSIDE THE PODCAST

Three strategies you can use to help you rewire your mindset and move you towards success!

1) Reframe the Statement:Audit & Replace:

➔ Regularly catch a limiting thought and consciously swap it with a curiosity-based question.

➔ Instead of "I can’t," ask "How can I?"

2) Use Powerful Questions:

➔ Train your brain with better prompts. (Your brain has to answer.)

➔"What would this look like if it were easy?"

➔"Who can help me with this?"

3) Speak the Thought Out Loud:

➔ Make it real enough to examine, not just feel.
