EP 143: Best Intentions
Wednesday Oct 16, 2024
Wednesday Oct 16, 2024
We all have intentions right? What do we do with them?
In this episode of Mav's Coffee Clarity, hosted by Denise DiGrigoli, she sheds light on the transformative power of intention-setting and goal-making. Denise walks us through her personal process, starting with an intention that evolves into a goal and ultimately leads to life-changing transformation. She emphasizes breaking down big ambitions into small, manageable steps—“bite-sized” actions that are realistic and doable. By putting these intentions on her calendar and committing to just 30 minutes, she shows us how small, consistent actions can yield major results. Best Intentions require small actions to move you forward, and you never know what effects they can have.
This episode is all about finding the balance between ambition and self-compassion, creating intentions that work for you, and making space for reflection and realignment along the way.
=========
"I am talking about the intention that transformed into a goal that created transformation. I put it in small little bites that I could handle for me and I put it on my calendar. And I said to myself if you can’t do this small little thing for yourself, what can you do? It’s only 30 minutes." - Denise DiGrigoli (5:18).
Key Beans:
- Set intentions that are realistic and manageable to set yourself up for success
- Reevaluate your intentions regularly; its okay to cross things off when they no longer serve you
- Look at your list of goals and intentions daily to stay mindful and intentional about your personal growth

Yes, you read that right—25 years of marriage and working together. And no, we haven’t driven each other completely crazy… yet.
It’s the question we get all the time: How do you manage to live, work, and thrive together without wanting to pull your hair out? (Hey, Troy’s lack of hair has noting to do with the marriage, ok?)

We’ll hear us answering your questions—everything from how we keep it fun, to what really goes on behind the scenes when work and home life blend a little too seamlessly. So, if you've ever wondered what it takes to make both a marriage and a business work for 25 years, tune in for some laughs, some stories, and a little wisdom we’ve picked up along the way.
=========
"You have to be patient. You have to be persistent. That goes for your relationship too, you can't bail out when things start getting tough. For whatever the reason." - Troy Amuso (19:38).
Key Beans:
- Accept and Allow: Accept who the other person is and allow yourself to be who you are
- You need to compromise in order to get to the common goal
