This is a re-release of a previous ToddTalks episode because it fits well into this new Spirit By Design format. I'm thrilled to welcome the ever-inspiring Al Carraway to ToddTalks' 100th episode! Al opens up about navigating the whirlwind of family life in New York, surviving a tough winter, and the bustling schedules of children's sports. She also shares the exciting news of her upcoming book releases, a children's book in August and a New Testament book in October. Together, we discuss how she studiously adds historical context and personal experiences into her writing, and her infectious enthusiasm for her Instagram project, "Read with Al." Our mutual admiration for "The Chosen" series rounds off a delightful conversation on spiritual growth and storytelling.
Taking a deeper look, we explore the significance of recognizing divine guidance and shifting our perspectives on our spiritual journeys. Just like Peter walking on water, we highlight the courage it takes to make even the smallest efforts toward Christ. Emphasizing the impact of negative thoughts and the adversary's influence, we discuss how laughter and joy are often subtle signs of God's presence. By appreciating these moments and reaching out for divine help, we can navigate our spiritual challenges more effectively.
The episode takes a heartfelt turn as we discuss the power of self-love in personal growth and relationships. Investing in self-discovery and self-acceptance not only helps us manage life's adversities but also sets a powerful example for our children. We delve into how embracing new challenges, guided by divine love, can lead to profound personal transformation. Wrapping up, we reflect on the personal nature of Jesus Christ's ministry and how He individually touches and lifts lives, often unnoticed but always impactful. Tune in for an uplifting conversation that promises to inspire and encourage you on your journey of self-discovery and faith.

TedX Speaker and Author Dai Manuel and I sat down and discussed whole life fitness, what that means, and how you can improve your life through fitness.
Fitness is one of the pillars of life. I teach four pillars: Mental, Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Health.
Dai focuses on the pillars of Fitness, Faith, Family, Finances and Fun.
Together we break down why you need to develop resiliency in this crazy world. Physical health is highly dependent on how much you move. Reclaim your physical health because it trickles down into every aspect of your life.
How we age is directly dependent on the choices you make today. Vitality and energy as you age depends on your lifestyle choices and habits. Are you going to be one of those overweight, wheelchair bound (for no reason other than you are out of shape), and sad old people? Or, are you going to choose a lifestyle that will keep you in shape, feeling young, and able to travel and do the things you want as you age. It's your choice.
Dai Manuel is found on Facebook and Instagram or you can read his blog at https://daimanuel.com

You have the duty, the purpose, the right to create the life you desire.
Have you ever heard the phrase "live life on purpose"? It's a great phrase with lots of meaning. A purpose driven life means you aren't wasting your time, your life away. You seek out your purpose and you seek to fulfill it.
Another quote that John and I expound upon is the idea that it is the duty of the enlightened to enlighten the unenlightened. Think about that. The student becomes the master and finds new students and the process moves on throughout the ages. That's how information has been passed down and transcended time.
Another necessity for living a purpose driven life is to become self-aware, and to be receptive to new info. Contrary to popular belief, you don't know everything...neither do I and that's OK! In fact, knowing that you don't know everything can help you be open to new ideas and possibilities. The danger lies in being completely close-minded.
Live the life you desire.

This is all part of living a holistic life. Holistic in the sense of being whole. You are the sum of your parts!

You're in the box and you don't even know it!
What is the box? It is the self-delusion you feel that you are in the right and others are in the wrong and you get there by betraying your own beliefs.
What does this mean?
It means that you lie to yourself.
It means that in order to develop your intuition and improve your success, you need to learn to see truth and see through the lies.
And there are a lot of lies. Because too often you're lying to yourself.
Today we cut through and talk about how to get out of the box and see the truth for what it is.
I am offering a 4-week intensive coaching practice to help you make the changes you need to make to decide, act and assess your life and where you want to be a year from now.

To truly accomplish the goals you want, you need to have a plan, and you need to write it down, in detail exactly what you want.
2023 is here. What are you going to do? What is your path forward? If you do nothing, it will look very much like 2022.
One of my primary goals this year is to become financially free by helping as many people as possible to also earn a million dollars or more and live the life they desire. Maybe you don’t desire money, but you desire to have your life in order. Both of these ideas require certain steps, and those steps are: Getting your mind and body right; getting your spirit and emotions under control; and learning to make decisions, act on them, and assess the outcome of those decisions and actions and adjust accordingly.
In this episode I suggest how to start. Where should you begin to plan for the next year? Listen up and find out.
I am offering a four-week intensive deep dive into decision making for the future. Learn how to be decisive and make the changes you need to make to achieve your goals for the new year. I promise that I will cut out the Bull and dive right to the meat of the problem. Then help you figure out a plan to move forward.

You have a problem.
You don't listen. You never hear me. You miscommunicate at home or work.
You get confused because you misinterpret what you hear.
Why?
Because you listen only enough to think about what you want to say rather than listening to relate to what is being relayed. This makes it difficult to understand.
Brigitta Hoeferle and I share a deep discussion about how you can learn to listen, not with the intent of responding, but with the intent of relating to the person you are talking to. This will improve relationships at work, at home, in family or friendships...it's a skill that all of us need to improve.
The main problem you have when talking to someone...is listening.
You know it. I know it.
I have the same problem. It's very human.
So come listen in and take notes. We cover some good information here.

Opportunities are always there, you just have to have the sight to be able to see them. Decisions are one of the hardest things that we have to do.
And as the intro says, if you want success, you've got to have some skin in the game.
Burn the ships! You've heard it. I've heard it. It's advice from down the ages. If you want to succeed, burn the ships so that you don't have an out.
And yet we all want an out, that's why only 5% or less of people succeed at what they attempt.
Prepare for the bad days by developing inner strength.

"Life doesn't happen to you, you happen to life!" - Sandy Joy Weston
After a year of studying people who lived a joyful life and another year studying successful people, Sandy created a five-minute approach to living joyfully and accomplishing your dreams and spent a year studying a group to use her method...
And it failed miserably.
When talking about it with the greatest minds that study the brain, she found that the only people that followed her program were people that already believed it would work...
Fast forward to a reassessment of the approach, and a simple method of changing your life that even the biggest skeptics can't argue with, and she had massive success in helping people change. The beauty of it is that this simple system only takes 1 to 3 minutes a day.
Listen to the episode to find out the steps.
We laugh, we talk a lot about dance, and the brain and body connection. There is so much truth in the fact that movement affects your mood and your mental health.
Put a little dance in your step and you'll smile!
The key to successfully winning in life is being willing to take some simple steps daily and consistently.
And that's the hardest part.
You can do it. You CAN change your life. You CAN have success in the area you choose. You CAN become the person you choose to become.

You are Not Broken!
You may feel that you are. You may struggle with what you are conditioned to believe about yourself. If Jean and I can leave you with one message in this episode it is that you are not broken.
Living unapologetically authentic means allowing us to be who we truly are. It is filtering out what we've been conditioned to believe about ourselves and learning to overcome the true source of our struggles within...fear of judgement or rejection.
Jean Tien is a reformed corporate climber that fumbled her way through life, her words, until she realized that "happily ever after doesn't automatically happen when you start to make more money or climb the corporate ladder. She says that following this age-old formula for success didn't work because it wasn't allowing her to be herself."
In this episode we unpack the success formula that Jean developed for overcoming her fears and living unapologetically authentic. Additionally, we discuss minor things like: cancel culture, fear of judgement, deficiencies in self-esteem, etc.
Listen in and take notes to help you become who you are meant to be. It's not always who you think today that it is!
Jean's book The S.U.C.C.E.S.S Method will be out in December or January.

It doesn't take much, but it does take time and effort.

“If you’ve been struggling with your weight, and your health, because you can’t kick the sugar and dessert habit, I’ve got good news for you... you can.
Does the idea of giving up sugar or flour make you cringe inside?
Yes. But, let me tell you, sugar is poison!
And until now, you’ve played all the games, tried all the diets. Lost a few pounds and gained back more. Your body is rebelling and you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. I feel you! I WAS YOU!!!!!
But with the right tools, strategies and simple changes in your lifestyle, it doesn’t have to continue to be that way for YOU.
Maybe you’ve heard that healthy eating is too expensive. Maybe you’ve heard about the Bright Line Eating method and heard it’s too restrictive and unrealistic. Maybe you’re afraid to give up your favorite foods…the same foods that are making you fat, sick, and moody.
So how can you eat delicious filling food without feeling deprived? How can you maintain a healthy lifestyle without falling back to old habits?
My workshop is all about learning the simple tricks to mentally make the shift, how to eat well without flour and sugar, and how you could successfully lose unwanted weight.

There is a difference between meditation and prayer.
Centering prayer or Silent prayer is a form of meditation. It's an opportunity to continuously center your mind and clear the clutter and noise so you can hear what God is saying to you.
Often Journaling after your 15 minutes of Silence will help you understand themes that stand out and what repeats you can understand what you should be doing. It's the opportunity to let go of who you are not.
Rich Lewis, author of "Sitting with God: A Journey to Centering Yourself" takes us through the how and why of centering prayer. It's a unique way to look into yourself, your life, and let go.

The old adage "Chase after your dreams!" is a little overrated in my opinion. Because you should not just chase, but catch and live them.

Why is it hard for your brain to be productive? Thinking is actually made of 28 different cognitive functions.
Struggle is based on a lack in one cognitive area.
Why do you feel overwhelm?
Because your thoughts are based on unclear or blurred perceptions due to a lack in one cognitive area or more.

Be Impeccable with your word!
Don't take anything personally!
Don't assume!
Do your best!
Those are the four agreements from the book "The Four Agreements". Today, my good friend and your podcast psychotherapist, Shane Murphy, and I discuss each agreement in depth.
These agreements are integral to mental health. Mental health isn't talked about enough. How to improve your mental health is the purpose of this episode.
We get wrapped up in anxiety. When we don't follow the four agreements, anxiety grows within us and affects everything. We make assumptions because we are not thinking rationally. Anxieties lead to panic and fear. 90% of your anxiety comes from inaccurate assumptions.
We talk about how you can flip your emotions when you are about to take something personal.
And we delve into that buzzword of the last few years - being triggered.
Why do we get triggered?
Where does it come from?
We delve into this and how to take ownership of your thoughts and your life. I highly recommend this episode. Shane now has a radio show on Cry104 FM and started a program called Creative Pathways - a way for people to connect with creativity and psychotherapy.
As always, I am available for coaching and consulting and should you need to go even deeper into traumas and deep mental health work, I recommend Shane. He can be found on LinkedIn and also on Instagram as @shanecounselling.

Have you ever considered a career coach?
Have you ever wanted support to work towards your goals, an accountability partner, or someone to tell you straight up where you are screwing up?
A coach can help you re-evaluate your style and strategy, help you set boundaries, learn to say no diplomatically, and more...
Benefits of a career coach:
- financial reward
- increased confidence
- accountability
- help you change perspective and perception
How are you seeing the world? What you see is based not on truth but on your perception of the world. Do the work, see the results! That's the premise behind having a coach - someone who will help you change your perception and work on the root causes.
The word Mindset seems to be overused at this point, and a career coach will help you figure out what areas your "mindset" needs to change.
Everyone has past trauma that affects their thinking. Usually people just work on the symptoms. A good coach will look past the symptoms to work on the root cause.
So - Why should you get a coach?
Why now?
Do you spend too much time justifying actions you don't like, decisions you're not happy with?
As coaches we help you make decisions.
My guest, Lily Woi, and I spent this half hour talking all things career coaching, answering the questions up above and many more, demystifying coaching.

Thoughts create emotions.
Emotions stimulate your reactions.
Emotions drive everything.
There is a right way of thinking that will help you find solutions to mental health, mental issues, etc. Yes, I went there. Mental health is deteriorating and in part it is due to lack of control of our thoughts and our emotions.
When emotions are out of control, take a moment and just breathe. There is power in your breath. Pause, and breathe. Listen to the inhale and exhale. It stimulates the vagus nerve and helps to calm your system.
We react emotionally because we build defense mechanisms to prevent ourselves from getting hurt. We have subconscious programming that causes our emotions. It can be reprogrammed.
My guest today, Carrie Schmidt, teaches a 7-step timeline system for lifting long-term patterns and reprogramming them. Carrie is the founder and CEO of Infinite SOULutions and author of the book "Behind the Screen" where she teaches her 7-step system.

Change judgmental phrases to "That's interesting!" It takes the steam out of the negative thought and allows you to stay positive mentally. That's one of the many things I learned as Julianne Bosch and I discussed everything under the sun about international travel, family life while an expat, and how to be a CEO and a mom/wife at the same time.
Julianne is a "Mom CEO" and a life and career coach, author of "How a Mother Took Her First Steps on the Moon".
Juggling between family and work is hard for men, even harder for women. One of the main ways you can find fulfillment as you are attempting to have both is to narrow down your life. Don't try to do it all. Make choices and stick to what you plan.
Joy is found in purpose. Find your purpose.
Recognize where you are today. You're not alone in overthinking, overdoing, and overstressing. Breathe and just take stock of where you are today.
Life is complicatedly simple. Think of it--life, family, work--as an elephant you have to eat. Just do it in small bites, one bite at a time.
When stressed and overwhelmed, go back to the basics. Have a set of non-negotiables in life and strip it down to the basics so that you have a place to fall back to when you've taken on too much.
Brainstorm crazy ideas. Use them to break "my way or the highway" madness. Figure out worst case scenarios. etc.
Finally, when you set your intention based on your non-negotiables, things start clicking.
Julianne's book mirrored her life and practice. It's a book of advice for parents and others about taking ownership and living a life of intention.

Leadership is not about the title. It's about the qualities and respect accorded to an individual who earns the trust of his team.
Whether it's a large corporation or a small business, most organizations are still broken up in teams, just like the Navy Seals.
The cohesiveness of the Navy Seals is difficult to create in the civilian world because it is not life and death.
Leadership is important because leadership determines the success of the team. There are major consequences for poor leadership.
We discuss the challenges of leadership, the fastest way to destroy trust in an organization, and how to build it.
One epidemic that is currently happening is talent flight due to bad leaders.

Your body is the repository of your thoughts, feelings, actions, traumas, events, etc.
Everything in life is stored as a memory, whether in your mind or in your physical body.

There are seven keys to success. We cover them in this show.
Do you have the right mindset?
Are you making an impact?
Are you living a life of avoidance rather than a life of growth and success?
We tell ourselves stories to interpret life as we know it. Understand that the stories and rules you have in your life create a life of avoidance or success.
Professional Performance Expert Gregory Offner Jr and I share an understanding of how we look at the world of work, your mindset, and how your perception and perspective impact your performance (and success).
If you want a free one sheet product detailing the seven keys to success text the word Keys to 33777 - Gregory Offner is giving this worksheet away and can be reached at https://gregoryoffner.com

What do you need to create the life you truly desire?
You need to be radically honest with yourself.
You need a holistic approach to limiting beliefs with an inside out, outside in methodology.
If you struggle with imposter syndrome, this is for you.
If you struggle with limiting beliefs, this is for you.
If you want to make changes that will actually stick, this is for you.
Finally, we all need accountability...This is for you!!!

Who are you, for you? Who am I, for me?
This is the starting premise of a wonderful discussion I had with Dr. Denise Moore Revel. Intuitively when asked that question, you immediately jump to who you are to other people: Father, mother, coworker, insert job title here.
But this question is much deeper and has longer lasting consequences. 80% of people are unhappy with where they are at in life. They dislike their job, or what they're doing and feel unfulfilled.
Dr. Denise and I break down things that you can do to improve your life and design the life you want. We cover taking time to slow down; learning how to decompress; and simple steps that when done daily help your overall mental health and that of those around you.
This is an important and fun episode. We laughed, we cried, we hurled! Just kidding about the hurling.
Enjoy this great episode
Dr. Denise can be reached at her website: https://ownyouramazingnow.com
There you can get a free excerpt from her book. She can also be reached on Facebook under Dr. Denise Moore Own your amazing.
Taking time to have a coach help guide you in moving forward is a good thing and can help you progress far faster than you can alone.

Before you can build trust, you have to define it for you or your organization. This requires you to analyze yourself. Self-reflection is necessary whether you are trying to build your leadership skills personally, for your family, or in your organization.
Today Toby Travis and I discuss how leaders can build and restore trust. Dr. Toby Travis is the founder of TrustEd, an executive consultant with the Global School Consulting Group, and Superintendent of education at the Village Christian Academy in Fayetteville, NC.
In order to build trust, a leader needs to understand the 6 critical components of trust. We discuss these and how a servant leader is able to build rapport with his/her team, mobilize them, and develop a culture of trust within the organization. (The same rules hold true in a family as well.)
However, not all leaders are created equal and occasionally (quite often) a leader needs to restore the faith and trust of their organization in them. We cover a simple method to begin to build back the trust that was lost.
If you would like to get Dr. Toby Travis' book, TrustEd, it is on Amazon.

Your perspective identifies your reality.
Your past is either an anchor holding your back or a springboard to push you forward. Your perspective will determine which it is.
In this episode, I cover not only why holding on to the past is a mistake, but also how to let it go, and how to fix your perspective.
I give you a simple straight forward path to fix your perspective so you can go after the dreams that will make you into who you truly are meant to be!

How do we make decisions? How do you make decisions?
Adele Spraggon is a behavioral change expert with over 30 years in the personal development industry. Today we talk about upgrading your brain's decision-making patterns.
Too often we use the wrong pattern when we are making decisions resulting in negative feelings, thoughts, and actions. We decide before we realize we've decided due to the pattern in our subconcious mind.
Adele teaches a 4-step process to change the pattern. I just refer to it as an iceberg full of penguins. Each time a penguin jumps on the iceberg another one falls off.
Learn the steps in this episode. For a more detailed discussion, you can get her book for free at Http://www.shift4steps.com

Self-Sabotage is the worst. Sadly, about 100% of us practice it to some degree or another.
I've been there. You've been there. You start something, a new project, a diet, a new business, and the bam...you fail or have a set back.
What do you do then? You quit or blame others for the problem, the failure.
I can help you overcome this with a simple solution that works.

Imposter syndrome strikes all of us. I've felt it many times.
Three or four years ago I thought about starting a podcast, starting a coaching or consulting business, and becoming an entrepreneur. Sadly, I didn't believe I was good enough. I bet you've felt something similar.
Maybe you were asked to head a project at work, have kids and don't know what to do, are suddenly a manager/leader and have responsibilities. Maybe you want to start a business, do network marketing, start a blog, write a book, or anything similar and yet you don't because you don't believe you have what it takes.
I'm here to tell you that your brain lies to you. Imposter syndrome does not mean you are inadequate, it means you don't believe you are. There is a big difference between Imposter syndrome and being an imposter.
Today I give you steps on how to overcome it!

It's not your fault is a refrain you hear all the time. It's not your fault that this that or the other thing happened to you.
How you respond, the choices you make, are completely your responsibility. Your life is your responsibility. Your choices are your responsibility.
Seek inspiration, act on inspiration, otherwise you will get less and less inspiration and end up living miserable, blaming others for everything that occurs in your life.

You are not exceptional and if you think you are then you definitely are not. You are special in that you are a child of God, and you have the capacity for greatness, but 99.99999% of the time you're ordinary.
And that's OK!
You see, acknowledging your ordinariness, acknowledging your weaknesses, keeps you humble and allows you to work on areas and if you become hyper focused in an area, you can become great in that area....but would acknowledge yourself as not being great because you are humble and recognize your weaknesses.
That's the difference between true greatness and this manufactured greatness that you see on social media. You have everyone telling you that you are amazing and extraordinary...but if everyone is, then no one is.
Such is life. Get over it. Learn from it. Then work on the areas you CHOOSE to and you can become great in those areas. That's life! You choose to improve, or you live in your own delusion.

Get free from the distractions of your daily life, even if only for an hour or two, in order to figure out who you are and what you want.
Be alone, but not lonely. Take stock of your life, all aspects of it, the good, the bad and the ugly, then accept who you were, figure out who you are, and after that you can understand where you want to go/who you want to become, and can make goals and a path forward.

Faith is believing in something that you can't see and know is true. In order to truly grow and become the person you want to become, you need to learn to trust a higher power than yourself.
Whether that is God, or Jesus, or the Universe, you need to believe in a higher power because you are a child of God and have a divine heritage. You are meant for more than you currently believe.

We are all born with an innate sense of right and wrong, and a sixth sense that helps us to know when danger is approaching. Did you know that you can develop and strengthen this sense?
You see, intuition is a gift, some may call it the Spirit. Some may call it just intuition. To some it is the universe talking. But in truth, it is a gift and can be developed.
How?
By acting on it. The more you act on your intuition, the more often you'll recognize its promptings. The more you push it away and ignore it, the less often you'll feel promptings until you won't even recognize them.
Learn to act on your intuition.

Assumptions, biases, mistaken beliefs....you have them. I have them. It's totally normal. It also causes so much hurt, heartache and despair if we assume too much.
The idea behind challenging your assumptions comes from the fact that quite often your assumptions are based on a bad premise or just flat out wrong information.
I learned long ago that when I assume it makes an a** out of you and me! And while that's a trite funny joke, it's also very true.
In today's episode I cover why assumptions are not good, as well as give you tools to use to overcome them and to practice better methods to improve communication, workflow, and results. After all, we want positive outcomes, not negative ones.

There has been a cloud of negative energy hovering over me for the last few days and I finally realized it wasn't from outside, it was from inside and needed to be expunged.
Whenever you try to grow and change, you will get pushback. There will be people that don't believe in you, people that won't understand. There will be times when you feel alone and the negative will attempt to work its way into your head.
That's where recognizing that this is a normal step in the change process can help you overcome it.
In today's episode I talk about my own experience and how to get that negativity out and replaced by positive energy.
Because we are energetic beings, we are either working with a positive or a negative energy. You rarely sit at neutral. Therefore, this is a great episode to learn practical steps to grow when you're feeling the negative inside and outside.

Frank is a multi-millionaire, uber successful businessman and he breaks down some of his tools for success that have helped him and his wife to succeed. We discuss the ups and downs of striving to improve and be a better version of yourself and why that is necessary to your growth in life.
Frank is one of the most grounded down-to-earth people I know and cares about those around him. He takes time to help others and loves to mentor people. After spending 18 years in construction he took a sharp turn and got into Network Marketing and hasn't looked back since. His joy comes from seeing others, especially his team, succeed.
Take his advice and apply it in your life. He gives several easy to use techniques that can literally change your life.
Make the changes he suggests. Do the do. Take action. You won't regret it!!!!

Jim Rohn, the outstanding motivator and instructor, always said that in order for things to change, you must change.
Life isn't easy. Doing the same thing over and over again is the definition of insanity if you expect things to be different by doing the same thing over and over and over. That's not the way it works. In order for things to change, you must change.
I give you the tools and techniques and motivation to be able to do so!

Respect - R E S P E C T - We all know the song, but do we live it.
Getting respect actually requires effort on your part. You have to be respectful to get respect. You can't demand respect. You can demand obedience, but you can't demand respect. Respect is earned and I believe that respect is missing in a lot of places today.
Today I speak about the need for and how to check yourself as to where you stand with giving and receiving respect.

You have to know what you want in order to change. Even if it's just the basics, you have to be able to picture it because when you start to change Murphy is going to come calling. Murphy doesn't like change. He likes chaos. Because of this if you can't picture where you want to end up, Murphy will take charge and make life a living nightmare until you decide it isn't worth it.
Murphy is great friends with your comfort zone and they work in tandem to screw you over.

I was feeling the motivation after listening to an hour of motivational speeches to give my own motivational speech to you.
If you get back up, you will succeed. Failure is not to be feared. Failure is a step in the road to greatness. Everyone fails, but those that get back up eventually succeed.
Life is not an easy road and I recommend you do something different. Have a living bucket list, a list of things to do while you're alive and can enjoy them, not a list of things to do before you die. Make it happen. You've got this!!1
I am your biggest cheerleader, but the only one that can help you improve is you! You have to decide and you have to do the work!!!!

You may have dreams and goals. You probably have desires. You have hopes and dreams...but if you don't show up, if you don't give it a go, if you don't make the attempt you'll never accomplish it.
The first part of getting ahead and becoming the best version of you requires you to show up. I went to run a marathon once, but didn't finish....because I didn't even start. I didn't show up. To this day I still haven't run a marathon.

Pitcher throws the ball and you connect with a bat and the ball goes out of the park. An apple falls from a tree and lands on the ground. Cause and effect. The laws of nature. There are immutable laws that state that every action has consequences whether for good or ill.
Understanding this law, and learning to apply it in your daily life, can have a dramatic effect on your life. You can go from being reactionary and wondering why things always happen to you, to taking action and knowing what the possible outcomes are going to be.
Your response to things that happen in life, and the actions you take, determine your future.

You've felt that gnawing in your gut as you're about to make that call, or not made the call. You've skipped asking the girl/guy out. You've missed out on job opportunities and amazing trips because of this.
What is it?
Rejection - Fear of rejection keeps us from so many things. It keeps your from risking your heart, mind, etc. Why? Because your perspective does not allow for you to realize that what others think does not matter when you are chasing your dreams.
Today I take you through why you fear rejection and how you can overcome it. Ultimately, your dreams and goals are dependent on your learning how to overcome this fear that we all have at one time or another.

Not listening to someone who's been there, done that, and gotten the T-shirt is a quick way to find yourself falling flat on your face.
When you are attempting to grow and have big dreams, it is important to have a guide or mentor that understands your goals and dreams. Be careful as you select your chosen guide because they will have a dramatic effect on your life.
Ultimately though, the challenge is yours to actually listen and do what they say.

Resilience isn't just some nice term created by psychologists to say that you need to deal with your crap or you will suffer! Resilience is the art of dealing with your crap and not getting it kicked out of you!
That's my fancy way of saying that all of you, all of us, go through setbacks, challenges, stressors, traumas, and difficulties in life, but how we deal with them, how they affect us, is determined by the amount of resilience we have developed. You may think that you can deal with things, until the @*#$ hits the fan and then you find out that you're not as tough as you thought, if you never learn ways to release tension, deal with trauma, and heal.
In this episode I discuss resilience, why it's necessary, how to develop and use it, and techniques and tricks to get you back in balance!
You've been there. You've waited until the last moment and are going to be late, then you start. Or you've neglected to begin and so you quit before doing anything. You have goals and dreams, but you either procrastinate or don't even bother beginning.
Today, I help you to take that step, begin that process, work on that goal.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Don't wait for tomorrow.

Your brain is an amazing machine. It takes information and can create an entire visual world inside to help develop your sense of self, propriety, societal constructs...everything. When you read you augment this capability and enhance it.
Reading is becoming a lost art, but is so important for developing you into the person you want to become. Every successful person will tell you they read, and read a lot. By reading you are developing the connections in your brain.
What should you read? Everything good! What your read affects how your brain develops. That's why it is so important for kids to read and as adults, your brain is elastic and will develop new connections as you read. Develop your imagination to help you in this ever chaotic world!
You may or may not have seen my post on Facebook about my cousin, Tara Schutz untimely passing. What you probably don't know is that she is the cousin I refer to in several episodes of my podcast.
She was so proud of the work she was doing in changing. Today, I explain some of her life challenges and the different person she became by "Doing the Work"! She hated doing the work. In life she usually opted to not do the work to change herself. She was fiercely loyal to her family but not so much to herself.
That changed when she started to listen to Toddtalks! She decided to do the work. She's the one that got me into the life coaching side of things. She told me I should be her life coach so I started working with her. And the changes in her were night and day, as darkness is to light! She went from a place of darkness to light and I was blessed to be a part of that.
This is a tribute to her and includes how doing the work helped her, and how it can help you to change, grow, love, live, and be happier!
If you take anything away from this episode, it is....doing the work, works!

Boundaries. You talk about them. You forget about them. You don't set them. And then you wonder why certain people make you angry all the time, or depressed. You wonder why you feel neglected or used. Boundaries are for your benefit, they are not a curse.
Boundaries help you to live the life that you want. They help you to be happy. They help you to feel fulfilled. Why? Because you're being true to yourself.
In this episode, Shane and I discuss boundaries, not just in relationships, but in all aspects of life. We help you uncover how to start having boundaries, if you've never had them, and where to begin. We also discuss the negative side of being too strict with your boundaries.
If you struggle with boundaries, or are raising kids, this episode is especially for you!

Kimm Goncalves was born and raised in Belgium and moved to Ireland after her mother sadly passed away when Kimm was only 22. She managed to pull herself up from a difficult past and changed her life, going after and achieving her dreams.
Kimm passes on good advice on how you can learn from experience, and make changes that will stick in your life as you design your best life. If she can do it, so can you! This is a fun conversation, lighthearted at times, serious at others especially when dealing with hard subjects, but I know you'll thoroughly enjoy it and get some good advice and takeaways!
Words have power and the words you use out loud with others and the words you use internally have the power to change your life for good or ill. You are the author of your fate and destiny, if you choose. The words you say will make things happen in your life. Positive change is more powerful when you speak positive words and see hear say and feel them.
