Maintenance gets a bad rap. We are brainwashed that its wrong and hard to maintain something we desire or crave. But, its so funny, because maintenance is how I’ve made my living for the past few years.  We are taught that there is nothing sexy about maintaining our bodies, cars, houses or relationships.


That if its work, then we are doing something wrong.  Hell, depending on what facebook group your in, work the new curse word. Instead, everything should just click naturally. God forbid if things are not flowing and are full of grace. You would have to have something wrong with you.

Because, when it doesn’t flow, then your not in alignment or on the right path. Well in todays podcast I’m going to challenge that myth that there is something wrong with maintenance. I also talk about one of my favorite books, The compound effect.


I’ll take you into my view point of what makes maintenance “hard”, and how to fix that.  Then show you the magic that is maintenance and how it really can improve your life.

Mantras from the Podcast

  • maintenance equals freedom
  • maintenance equals overflow
  • To get to overflow, I desire to have a maintenance plan in place
  • I’m smart enough to fix that
  • I’m determined enough to fix that
  • Im open and willing to see things differently
  • Im willing to do the work
