ABOUT SUCCESSFULLY CHAOTIC :
I have a confession...I suck at lots of things...I mean it. As a business owner, wife, and mom of 7 kids (one on the autism spectrum) I get PLENTY of opportunities to mess things up. I have had my “go get ‘em” moments where I shine (for a moment) only to fall down a hill, burst into flames and drag myself back up the other side. I have had more than my fair share of life’s chaos. Some I had no control over and some I helped along. So how can I be successful in the midst of life’s chaos? I think the idea that someone reaches success is a unicorn. We are all constantly growing, and changing. What means success to us today isn't what it meant 20 years ago. The first step is defining how YOU define success. We talk with people who have experienced the OWN chaos and have came out on top. We want to share our mess ups, as well as our "ah ha" moments, all while giving you nuggets of helpful information that you can use in your own life and business.  Grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and join us! -Maria

Coach & Creator of "Breaking Good", Anissa Yardley

When it became obvious that her 20 year marriage had reached its expiry date…
… and they could no longer make it work, she was faced with the most difficult and painful decision of her life.
She had many happy years together and two magnificent and gorgeous children. A beautiful house in the most beautiful surrounding and a lifestyle many people only dream of. From the outside, they had a perfect life. But inside, she was feeling trapped and depressed.
Even though it did hurt deeply, and she knew it will be a high conflict divorce, it was the best decision she could make . She knew that she would lose everything, and she did. Still she decided to divorce her “made-up story” and her fears.
She had created a life that did not belong to her but instead belonged to her fears, to her insecurities and her limited mindset. She had been a life coach for nearly five years when she broke-up, she was helping people live their best life, but here she was, caught up in a high conflict divorce, overwhelmed with difficult emotions, thinking too much and struggling to focus.
She was feeling really embarrassed about her personal situation, she didn’t want to talk about it, all she wanted was to be alone. She had to take a deep dive into herself, into her silence, into her pain. She looked inside for all the wisdom that already existed in her. During this time of deep contemplation, she was committed to cut through her own bullshit, connect to her core, and live an authentic life.
Embracing pain as well as pleasure, going deep, waking-up and giving herself permission to become who she really was without trying to prove to anyone her self-worth or scared by the criticism of others.
That’s why she decided to shift the focus of my coaching practice to help people who are going through a divorce or break-up, by guiding and supporting them in implementing the three key elements of the ‘Breaking Good’ model, so that they can find peace, clarity and joy faster than she did.
She has made this her mission. Find our more here. You can also follow her on Instagram and Facebook.

Grief, Stress, & Bad Decisions

THIS EPISODE IS OUT OF OUR NORMAL. I felt the need to share the WHY of why Season 1 was only a handful of episodes. As we say here, life can be chaos. I am sharing the good, bad and ugly with you all. NOT to kick off Season 2 as a boring as hell whine fest...but to share the REAL & the REAL of life and how the chaos can get a hold of us. 
So bare with me on this, the next episode will be back to our more normal (ha ha ha ...normal for me anyway).
