Breanne’s a Rock Star!!!

 Shared by Kristina Smedley

I know you already know this, but I wanted to spend a moment reflecting on what a Rock Star Breanne is!

We can really look in any direction and see example after example of her awesomeness!

Personally, I’m lucky to have her as a sister-in-law, not only because I gained a sister and close friend that I can talk to about anything, who cares deeply about others, and is always there when needed… but also because I know that my brother has an amazing woman in his life who cares for and loves him unconditionally. And this is even better than me having an awesome sister!

She’s an amazing and intentional mom, raising Charlee to be a strong, kind, and caring little girl. She shares what she’s struggling with, what she learns, and what she loves and this is so helpful as we’re welcoming a little guy into this world in the coming days!

She’s a great business partner, who is willing to try new things, thinks things through completely, is much more organized than I am, and super fun to work with! One day we’ll have to share our video bloopers so you guys have a good laugh with us!!!

I know her volleyball team players must love playing for her. She always has their best interests and development in mind, she learns new things to bring to the program, she’s open and honest all in an effort to help them grow into the women they are meant to be AND be great athletes. And they’re doing really well this year – only losing one league game so far! With one more week of league play, then Districts, and then State, I’m sending them all the good vibes that they go far and are proud of themselves regardless!

I’m sure her teaching is similar to what I know about her volleyball coaching – the students are lucky to get assigned to her class. Well, I guess the alternative would be getting assigned to Brett’s class (my brother), and that would be great as well! The Columbia River students really can’t go wrong when it comes to PE teachers!

AND, as if all of that isn’t enough, she is now completing her Positive Mindset Coaching Certification. I think she just wrote about and shared that, but I don’t think she elaborated on the amount of work she has been putting into this program, while also teaching, coaching, being a great mom/wife, and working on our business! Her passion around enabling athletes to shape and reframe their minds in order to excel is inspiring, and everything she’s learning and the building is also applicable to our leadership development and ConfidenceFactor programming.

Exciting things are to come and you can view Breanne’s first training video around Mistake Rituals here!

Join me in giving Breanne a shout out today; she definitely deserves it!!!

"Learning to Crawl..."

  Shared by Kristina Smedley Kaden has been blowing our minds with his persistence in learning how to crawl. I don’t know why this is surprising. For some reason, I expected that babies just crawled… not that I would see his very visible effort into actually learning and practicing how to crawl. #newmom ;-)   About two weeks ago, he started getting further up on his hands. And started a little rocking back and forth. Then slowly we saw a knee pop-under him.   Then a little lat pull-down type action to use his arms to lunge himself forward. Then all in about 24 hours he was army crawling, then getting his legs into it, and then suddenly he was coordinated and crawling around. I loved watching him figure this out.   And watching him struggle a little with something until he got the next piece down, and the next, and the next. And honestly, Kaden has been a great reminder to me that I too have to learn to crawl first, before I can walk and eventually run. And even ‘crawling' isn't

“Streaks…”

  Shared by Breanne Smedley Spend time around high schoolers and you’re sure to hear the word, “streaks.” More specifically, phrases along the lines of: “I gotta keep my streaks.” Or, “We broke our 100-day streak yesterday!” If you don’t hang out with high school-aged people every day, let me fill you in. “Streaks” refer to the ongoing exchange of photos/messages between two people on SnapChat. If a friend and I snap chat with each other for two days in a row, we have a two-day streak. Three days in a row, a three-day streak. Five days, a five-day streak. And so on until one person breaks it ad the streak has to start back over. Kids get a little neurotic about their streaks. I overheard a student talking about how she gave her SnapChat login information to a friend so that she could “keep her streaks” while on vacation without cell service. That’s commitment and problem-solving at it’s finest right there. While sometimes I don’t get it (because apparently I’m old and I haven’t even re

“Exhausted vs Inspiring…”

  Shared by Kristina Smedley “Exhausted vs Inspiring…” I have noticed two pretty distinct responses from others when I share what’s going on in my life right now. “Wow, that is inspiring!” -OR- “Ugg, you must be exhausted!” It seems that they’ve either had the experience of following their dreams and understand the commitment, hard work, and pure energy gained on the journey… whatever their personal journey might be. Or they’ve sat back in life, thinking it would just be too hard or not possible. We all run into this choice at one point or another. I’ve definitely had those moments where I didn’t go for it. And I remember feeling sluggish, uninspired… exhausted. This is the exact opposite of what life is like when stepping into, what we call, our ImpactZone™. Here, there’s unlimited energy as our passions are discovered and acted on. Where are our skills and abilities are utilized and further developed. Where we have a deep and meaningful purpose. Here, life is exciting, challenging, a
