IT’S NOT TO LATE TO CHOOSE YOUR LIFE
Gain the confidence to live the life you want
Join the ‘Choose Your Life’ Challenge starting January 15, 2024
This 30 day interactive experience guides you to live a more intentional life.
You have a good life. Your basic needs are met; a place to live, a job that provides enough, and friends and family to share it with. But it’s all passing by so quickly and it feels like you’re running out of time to do the things YOU wanted to do.
Your life doesn’t have to be bad to want to make it better and we can show you how.
We are Danielle McCombs and Kristy Olinger, co-hosts of The Opposite of Small Talk Podcast.
Through four years of interviewing incredible thought leaders for the podcast, there have been ideas that hit us over the head because they came up so often. When we put these ideas into practice we experienced transformational change. This program is designed to help you do the same. Join us to learn how.
What is the challenge?
The Challenge is a 30 day interactive experience that happens through a combination of live sessions, video content, and digital social interaction. Alongside Danielle, Kristy, and a community of participants you will be guided through a series of ideas to explore your relationship with fixed and growth mindsets. The challenge format is designed to help you learn and grow using proven neurological techniques like positive psychology and social learning so that you’re more likely to retain and use what you’ve learned long after the challenge is over.
Do these thoughts sound familiar?
It’s too late to make changes in my life
People will judge me if I follow my dreams
I’m too old to learn something new
I will look stupid if I make a mistake or try something that doesn’t work out
There are lots of reasons why I can’t change
These thoughts are all evidence of a fixed mindset, the belief that your talent and intelligence are traits that you are born with and can’t change.
The research of Carol Dweck PhD shows that your skills, abilities, and even your intelligence can be developed through effort. This is called growth mindset, and it’s what you’ll learn and practice in the ‘Choose Your Life’ Challenge.
What if instead you…
Woke up to see the beautiful opportunities that are available to you
Replaced ‘I can’t do this’ with the confidence to know you can figure it out
Stopped worrying about what others think of you
Released the pressure to look smart and be perfect
Overcame the fear of doing something different
Felt confident making choices about how you live your life
If you don’t choose to see the opportunities of your life, it’s going to pass you by. It’s not too late to get started, and we can help you open your mind to new possibilities through this unique challenge experience.

January 30 Guest Speaker: Traca Savadogo
Traca Savadogo, is a renowned relationship strategist and speaker, who specializes in transformation, change management, and culture. Her TEDx talk, "Why You Should Regularly Talk with Strangers," champions the power of human connection. As a transformative advocate, her work is rooted in the belief, "You can't fix what you're not willing to face." She takes a neuroscience-based approach, challenging others to embrace change, weaving together a tapestry of courage, vulnerability, and empathy.
“The challenge was an exercise in awareness, curiosity and gratitude. It enabled me to practice daily shifts in my perspective alongside a supportive community. The more I learned, the more curious I became. It was powerful to exchange insights and see the abundances that follow an open mind.”
— Danielle S.
“I learned to have humility and patience with myself as I attempt to learn something new. We are not all going to hit the mark on the first try, but knowing that going in allows you to take lessons from the failure. It is within that lesson we can make adjustments on our next attempt.”
— Neil P.
The Challenge for me is both grounding and inspiring. The content Danielle and Kristy have curated and created for the 30 days makes space to learn and express gratitude. I recommend the Challenge as a fun way to get from thinking about change to making change happen in your life, whether its personal or career goals you are focusing on.
— Molly J.
