*Originally written and posted Feb 2016. How to Manifest the Life You Want with Vision Boards Have you ever made a "vision board" or a "dream board" but it didn't seem to work? Or have you always thought they were kinda just bullshit? Or did you make one, but then never actually hang it up where you could see it? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you're not alone. I'd say that most of my clients fall into this category, I did myself for most of my life. But then I made a board that was so totally aligned with the women I desired desperately to become, hung it up at my office, and wala! It wasn't long before I began living out the moments that were displayed on my #FutrueBoard. It wasn't magic of course, if you've read my book you know that. It involved a lot of work as it always does, but let me tell you, it sure felt like magic! Did you know that you can predict your future? If you totally believed that, wouldn't you want to put that power to good use? It took me years to fully believe it, but once I began to make those connections, and realize that what I spoke about (#SayIT), thought and obsessed over (#ThinkIT) and what I surrounded myself with (#SeeIT) was becoming my reality, I wanted to harness it as fast and as accurately as I could! And that's how the #HBRMethod came about, though testing it out in my own life and then teaching it to my clients. In 2015 I started Transformation Bootcamp where I teach the 8-step Centrella Method in a 10-week small group coaching course, and the results have astounded even me! I'm not sure why I'm always surprised because I KNOW this works. I've proven it over and over again. But there's something about teaching it to someone who may be at the lowest point in their life, with little or no resources or hope, then watching them apply it daily...and then WATCHING IT CHANGE THEIR LIFE! That never gets old believe me! This morning I had the joy of catching up with some of my former Transformation Bootcamp clients who took the course a year ago. At that time some were in negative relationships, some didn't have jobs, some were struggling financially, others were looking for how they could find their purpose and happiness, all were looking for something to help get them "un-stuck." One year later those same clients have started their dream business, gotten promotions, found their dream job/calling, left bad relationships, found a new group of positive friends, seen the magic of #MoneyAintAThing, manifested some unbelievable moments and life changing experiences off their #FutureBoars, all in under a year!! But the part I love the most is seeing their self-confidence change. Seeing them learn how to control the negative voices in their head and replace them with positive, empowering ones... and then.. .BECOME that empowered positive person! There is no greater joy that I've found in life (outside of being a mom) then this, watching these amazing transformations. This morning one women said that she's re-reading the book and re-doing her homework because she's come so far from a year ago that she needed to upgrade her dreams! And when she got to step 2, #ThinkIT where you write out all your "I am's" she realized that she needed all new ones, because the ones from a year ago now simply described WHO SHE IS. Think about that for a second. A year ago, when she was at her lowest point she used this tool to teach herself how to think differently about herself and her future. She applied it daily. She told herself over and over again these positive "I am's" (like 'I am happy.' 'I am successful.' etc) every time the negative voices tried to sabotage her new life. And now one year later those words actually describe who she is and how she sees herself! How amazing that is. And it can and will do the same thing for you. I've always believed that proof is better than words, and that's why I've documented my entire journey and all my manifestations, because you can't argue with facts right!? And pictures are great facts. Here's just a few things I've manifested in the past few years form my #FutureBoard using the #HBRMethod. You'll notice that each photo has a picture of my #FutureBoard and next to it, a photo of the "reality." The moment I lived out those dreams. You can find many more of these examples on my Pinterest under Reality Board Ready to take your life, career, goals and yourself to the next level?

How to Get Grateful. The best way to Get Grateful for your current situation is to stop bitchin’ about what you don’t have. You can’t be thankful if you’re constantly complaining. It’s crazy how much power our words hold. And even crazier still the control our thoughts have on our words, emotions, and future. If you don’t believe me, take a few minutes to think about all the things you don’t like about your life at this present moment. Write them down. Then ask yourself: Have those issues gotten worse or better over time? My guess is they have not gotten better. So when things started going sideways, can you recall stressing about them? Obsessing until you felt physically ill at times? Did you talk about those problems with your friends and family or anyone who would listen? Did you tweet about them? Write a negative status update about them on Facebook? Find a quote that really stuck it to the person you were mad at and posted it on Instagram? We’ve all done it. I’m as guilty as the next person, but what was the outcome? Did your problems magically fix themselves by doing any of those things? Did they make you feel better, or eventually worse? Think about your list of problems for a minute. Do they occupy the majority of your mind space? If so, then you are in a downward, self-fulfilling-prophecy spiral. What you’ve thought about, and talked about, has become your daily reality. Think on that a minute. By complaining about your problems, verbalizing them, and allowing your feelings associated with those thoughts and words to change your mood, or even make you physically ill, you have actually made those problems bigger. Instead of solving them, you’ve made them much worse. Because you are responsible for your problems. I know, ouch. The purpose of gratitude is to make us aware and present in our lives, to teach us not to take anything for granted. It’s so easy to get caught up in our daily life and forget all the good things that are part of our environment. Gratitude lets you reconnect with all of that—it keeps you present in the moment and focused on your goal. As you move through the steps of the #HBRMethod you’ll find there will be times on your journey when you seem to be stuck in a rut, or when things aren’t turning out as planned, that will be your indication that you’ve let your gratitude practice slide. Don’t let it slide. Ready to take your life, career, goals and yourself to the next level? Check out my life coaching options or take my online life coaching courses to get the results you DESERVE!

How to Write Your Life Plan Story to Create Your Dream Life. The following is an example of how to write your #LifePlan Story which is part 1 of the homework for step 4 of my Centrella Method, from my book Hustle Believe Receive, the chapter titled WriteIT. I believe strongly in the power of our words, thoughts and what we write down, to predict our future. The last time I wrote my #LifePlan in 2011, it manifested with such accuracy that it’s almost spooky! So I am putting this new plan out into the Universe to expedite these dreams becoming my reality and sharing my #LifePlan 2.0 with you. This is my personal Life Plan Story written Aug 17, 2017. "It’s 2022, summer is drawing to a close as I sit in this comfy leather recliner looking out my window as Venice draws ever closer below, peeking out between the clouds and the blinding rays of a glorious sunrise. I’m smiling from every corner of my being, how could I not? It’s VENICE! And I’m arriving on a private jet, after sleeping in a bed all night as we crossed the ocean. How could I not be flying high (pun intended) right now?! Life is such a beautiful blessing, and this moment oozes with the kind of joy I experienced six years ago when the kids and I landed in Venice for the first time. Italy does that to me, fills my entire being with exploding joy, love, and utter happiness I glance around the plane, Kanen (now 19) is still sleeping, chair reclined. He’s such an amazing human. I can’t help but feel such pride in him for finishing his first year of college with good grades and fulfilling his lifelong dream as a college athlete, on scholarship no less! He’s happier then I’ve ever seen him, growing into the man I always knew he would be; capable, worldly, independent and kind. The girls, Mira and Izzy (now 15) are taller than me, smarter, and more ready to take on the world then I ever was at their age. They’ve navigated those pre-teen years and we’ve remained close (thank God!) they are doing great in high school, good grades and active in anything they can take part in. It’s such fun to watch them transform into strong, independent and intelligent beautiful young women. Lisa (my lifelong best friend) is sitting across from me and we’re both staring out the window in utter amazement, our hearts beating with girlish enthusiasm. We’ve waited for this day our entire lives, since we were children, dirt poor and homeless dreaming of a big beautiful life. And now here it is, us finally experiencing Italy together, soul sisters on this incredible journey. We turned 47 this year, how fast time flies! But we’re both in such an amazing place, feeling younger than ever! I’m so grateful to be healthy and finally in truly great shape. I’ve never felt fitter or sexier, it really is possible to get better with age! I think of the long journey that has brought me to this moment. Of all the struggles I’ve endured to get here, all the setbacks and heartache. In the end it is what makes us who we are, isn’t it? It’s what gives us the drive to not give up on our dreams and not abandon our calling. There were so many times I wanted to give up. So many hardships that seemed impossible to overcome. But losing my job in 2017 turned into the greatest blessing, it pushed me to do what fear had previously prevented, start my company. Become my own boss. Live my dream. I’m so grateful that I was able to turn that scary transition into the company that has now surpassed my wildest expectations. It started as my personal coaching company and has become so much more, now employing over 100 women, and empowering people around the world to embrace their greatness and live their dreams. To think I came so close to turning my back on writing sends a chill through me. Thank god that giving up is not in my nature, and that I fought for my second book as hard as I fought for the first. That I stood strong and remained true to my story and the belief in what it could become, because it’s far exceeded those meager dreams. My memoir has remained on the NYT best-seller list for four years straight, reaching that mark in the first three months of its release. The story has been translated into languages around the world and its inspiring people, imagine that! It’s become a movie and now a hit TV show which I co-produce and has opened so many amazing doors. One of the greatest honors of my life was being interviewed by Oprah, a huge dream come true! I am living my #LiveList life! All those hard times financially have made me appreciate this financial windfall so much more, I don’t take it for granted. I give back. I share the blessings bestowed to me. I’ll never forget the day we got the keys to our dream home a few years ago. It was the moment the kids have wanted more than any other, and the one I so desperately wanted to give them while they were still young enough to enjoy it. It makes me proud that I was able to keep my promise to Kanen and get us our own home while he was still in high school, as our house is always the place to be! And to give the girls the room to plant their own garden and have their own horses, such a dream come true! As we begin our decent into Venice, everyone begins waking up and chatting excitedly. Lisa passes me a glass of champagne and we raise our glasses, push back tears of joy, and toast to our Italian adventure! We are about to spend two weeks at our villa in Tuscany. It’s situated on a hill with an expansive, breathtaking view of the Tuscan countryside. Olive groves and vineyards surround it on both sides. A beautiful garden fills the terrace out back and a stunning infinity pool welcomes long evenings indulging in spectacular sunsets. The kids and I have come several times over the past two years since we got this place. I’ve done a few renovations and tried to get away from the hectic life back home, as often as I can, but this is the first time Lisa has seen it. It’s also the first time the kids have each brought a friend. The house will be buzzing with voices, laughter, smells of Ragu slow cooking in the kitchen and cannonballs in the pool, I can’t wait! But first, Venice! I am secretly most excited about is spending a few quiet days with the love of my life, cruising the Italian Riviera from Portofino to the dazzling Amalfi coastal town of Positano. Just the two of us, after everyone else heads back home. I’ve waited a LONG time for this. Fifteen years to be exact, it’s my time, and it was so worth the wait! The best part of my new life is that I am honestly and truly happy, at peace, and daily living a life that at one point merely existed in my imagination. All the things I feared were just excuses to not reach my potential. I’m glad I had the hard-headed-ness to pay them no mind. I’m glad I always followed my heart and my intuition, because its lead me to the life that aligns with everything I believe in and love most in the world. It is all possible." TIPS ON WRITING YOUR #LIFEPLAN Story: 1. Set it five years in the future. Be sure to say the year, mention your age, the ages of your kids in five years (if you have, or want them). 2. Write it in the first person as if it is your CURRENT life. Let yourself imagine how it would feel on that perfect day when you are living your dream life. What's it like? You're taking a moment out of that amazing new life to just reflect, to let it all sink in and appreciate all your created. 3. Be sure to touch on ALL five core areas of your life, so that it’s a holistic look at your dreams and ambitions in all areas. Core areas: 1. relationships, 2. career & ambitions, 3. passions & joy, 4. mind & body and 5. wealth & abundance. 4. Be as specific and "visual" as possible. Try to write it as a “story.” Paint the picture and get excited about the potential to have that be your reality one day! Doing this homework should give you butterflies and allow you to see that life as if it’s already your reality (the magic sauce of manifesting). 5. GO BIG! Push yourself to dream of the biggest versions of your dreams. It might not all come to life in the next five years, but I can promise you, much of it will, and you want it to be the ultimate ask of the Universe, not a trimmed down version. Don’t settle for less than your dreams, because they can and WILL become your reality. You deserve them. I deserve mine. We are worthy of a life that fills us to overflowing. Anything you can imagine, can become your reality. UPDATE JAN 27, 2021: I just read this post and got the chills! Why? Because 3 days ago my son Kanen and I returned from Valparaiso Indiana where he accepted ("committed) to play football for Valparaiso University, a Division 1 college football program, AND he received $96,000 in scholarships to do just that! I've know this was HIS dream (play D-1 college football) but when I wrote this, it was the summer before his Freshman year in high school and he'd only played kid football! I had totally forgotten however that I had written his dream into this #lifeplan until just now! And oh yeah, my 2nd book did get written, and published by Simon & Schuster, and picked up by Target stores nationwide. When I wrote this I didn't even had the idea for this book. I am still working on my memoir though, and hoping it will also be sold soon! UPDATE SEPT 21, 2021: Once again I re-read this post and am I'm SHOCK! I don't know how it always amazes me how accurate this homework assignment (from my book Hustle Believe Receive) can be, but it still does. Here's what's manifested to date: I just returned from 2 weeks in Italy wit my daughters (14), we spent a week at a villa in Tuscany, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. We spent 4 days on the Amalfi coast, and I spend a magical "me day" in Positano by myself, soaking in the pure joy of it. I did not get there on a private jet, that part is still to come, I have no doubt I'll manifest it in the next #lifeplan In 2018 the kids and I moved from our apartment to a new home, it's not mine, but it did fulfill everything else I wrote about it. The day we got the keys is one I won't forget and it fulfilled my promise to my son, he had the master bedroom all through high school so he always had plenty of room for his friends. When I wrote this #lifeplan in 2017 it was just months after being laid off from my corporate job, something that pushed me into starting my coaching company. I have worked for myself ever since. Even though I knew NOTHING about starting or running my own business I grew that to well over six-figures a year in just 4 years. And then this year, in July of 2021 I stared my corporate coaching company Centrella Co. It was a huge leap of faith, but it is the start to manifesting all the things I mention above. It's one that will have employees by 2022, one that has a founding advisory board of 7 women and 1 man, it's a women owned company with the goal of impacting lives world wide. HUGE UPDATE: And one of the biggest updates, new since my previous update above, is that my son is actually playing football for the #4 team in all of college football! His ULTIMATE dream to play for the Oregon Ducks came about in the 11th hour with a late, preferred walk-on offer! He's since played in his first game, I've seen him on the field, watched him run out the tunnel, all of it! AND he got a full-ride for academics to Oregon! My daughters just started High School and are LOVING it, after having a really hard time in middle school and with COVID home school. My 3rd book deal was signed a month ago! It will be out in 2022. Currently I'm working with my aunt, a veteran TV writer to help me turn my memoir into a TV series. Lisa has since manifested the love of her life (which was her ultimate dream), has gotten engaged and bought a house. I'd say that in all categories but the "love" one, we are 80% there! And there is a reason the love one hasn't manifested yet, I've always maintained that I wanted to raise my kids on my own, I don't want the distraction or competition for my time, until they are out of the house. So that one WILL manifest, in about 4-5 years from now! *Please note: I have never changed a word of my original post. I know it might be hard to believe, but it's important to me that those words never be altered. They are how I wrote them in my journal in August of 2017. The way I teach people how to manifest is SO ACCURATE that it is astounding all by itself, there is no need to manipulate the truth.

All Storms Pass, Don't Forget the Struggle is Temporary This was us on Easter in 2009, about 7 months after my ex-husband left. In our tiny, crappy apartment learning how to be a family of four instead of five. My twins Mira and Izzy are about 20 months here and my son Kanen had just turned six. I look back at this now and it seems like a lifetime ago. I remember feeling so alone and scared, yet hopeful for what my life could become. Yet, never in a million years could I have imagined that I’d be sharing my story from stages around the country, or telling my deepest struggles in a traditionally published book. I could have never dreamed that I’d become an entrepreneur, running my own life and building my schedule around being home for my kids. Never could I have dreamed that I’d be paid for doing what I so deeply love. If I could go back in time, I’d give that me a long hard hug. I’d say; “Girl you have no idea now, but all this struggle will one day become your calling. It will all eventually make sense. You are going to be just fine.” When you are going through hell, try to remember that it’s a necessary part of your journey to greatness. It's part of your story, and it's what makes you extraordinary. And it’s what will make the good times, ohhhhhh so GOOD!!! Hold on tight in the dark times because all storms eventually pass. And when the sun brakes after the storm, nothing feels quite as wonderful! Whatever your circumstances are today, they DON’T need to indicate what your future will hold. Your future holds what you DECIDE it will. That is your choice. Create something beautiful! Click here to read my personal story.

Learn to Trust Your Instincts. We were all created with a magical compass, our gut. Some call it intuition, others call it instincts, or your "inner voice," still others call it God... whatever word you choose, its JOB is to help us navigate life in the best, happiest and safest way possible. Its JOB is to protect us from danger and pain. It does so using various means, all designed to get our attention and help us make the right decision. It might send us a "red flag" when we start dating someone who turns out to be a total nightmare. Guess what? When that little voice that said; "Hey you, that dude is going to break your heart, he's not the one!" We should have listened. It tried to warn us. But what do we normally do, when we hear those internal warnings? We argue. Why can't we just trust it? Why are we always arguing with it, trying to prove it wrong? We give it all these reasons why our gut warning could be misleading. We say; "But wait! He's such a nice guy!" Or, "Wait! That business idea sounds amazing!" Our gut will counter with; "Are you even paying attention?!” And it will send us another signal, and another until eventually, if we continue to ignore it, it gets so quiet we can't even hear it anymore. But by this time, we've been going back and forth with ourselves so much that we’re "conflicted." I believe whenever we feel this way, it's because we are trying to argue with our gut instinct who is TRYING TO PROTECT US. There's no conflict if you heed its warning. So, we go to our friends and say; "What do you think? Is this dude or business, or whatever going to hurt me?" And you give them both sides of the argument, and they look at you... secretly I'd be willing to bet they agree with your gut, but most friends don't feel comfortable saying anything except what they know you want to hear. So, they take your side. And you go ahead, against your better judgment and.... shocker! Your gut was right all along. Why are we always looking for someone else to tell us what to do, when we ourselves, already know the answer? Then what happens a few months or years later? We run into the same type of person or situation and we once again follow our patterns, even though our gut has PROOF they were right before. How many times do we need to make the same mistakes before we just, listen? Paulo Coelho says that our intuition is the collective soul and knowledge of all humanity that has gone before us. So why rely on our friends, when we have the WHOLE human race giving us advice based on millions of historical examples. Listen to YOURSELF. TRUST YOUR GUT. It's your personal life coach! Your very own self-help guru. It is your most accurate and reliable map to navigating a positive, successful life. You already know the answer, you just need to stop talking yourself out of it.

Why You Should Protect Your Dreams from Your Haters One of the most common messages or questions I get is: “But how can I go after my dreams when no one around me believes in them or supports me?” Honestly, this surprises me a bit, since when are OUR dreams the responsibility of the people in our life? If it’s YOUR dream, why are you looking to the people around you (who are probably not living your dream) for validation and support before you can start going after it? It makes no sense! Your family, friends, or partner are NOT responsible for making your dreams a reality, YOU ARE! And the truth is, if your dreams are so fragile that you have to get their approval and support to proceed, you probably won’t make it. So... PROTECT YOUR DREAMS! When you’re first starting out and that dream is fragile, keep it to yourself. Just quietly do the work. You don’t need to tell everyone what your planning, especially if you already know they might be negative, why do that to yourself? Why put unrealistic expectations on them? Just DO THE WORK! Eventually, it will start speaking for itself. And over time as you work on your dreams and get success your skin will get thicker and your confidence will grow, and what they say won’t matter anyway. But for now, just DO THE WORK. Less talk and more action will always silence the haters. And if it doesn’t, then it’s time to #ChangeYourCrew. There's a whole chapter on this in my new book All the Things I Wish I Knew.
