What if. You found out that tomorrow is. You last day on earth. Yup, you are passing over to the other side and have one day…. Okay I can hear bucket list thought or who. You would want to spend that last day with. But… as you look back over your life, what are the stories about your life and experiences that. What will you wish you had passed onto your loved ones, or to the world. What are those unique stories that only you have that you would feel bad about not being able to pass on?

You may be thinking, ‘’Oh wow I really want my children to understand this about my life. I want them to understand my life path, why it was what it was. I want them to understand the life lessons I learned the hard way. I want them to know the short cuts.”

When we record our personal stories, and the events of our life we get that opportunity to share what life has taught us, the refining, the growth, the foibles, the victories, and we never have to say “Oh my goodness, I wish I had written that down.”

Today we're talking about unleashing the power of your personal story and the ripple effect that can happen by recording your experiences and you're learnings.

I know some of you might be saying I don't want anyone to know about my life and that sounds like an awful lot of work so I'm not sure that I'm in right now, on this we want to start out by giving you the downside I'm not writing your history I'm not telling your stories.

We’re discussing, EASY ways to step into becoming the storyteller of your life,

some powerful writing prompts,

and ideas that may match your style of recording your history.Access the newest empowerment curriculum written for the teen and the teen and all of us.

Receiving with open arms. Did you know that being good at receiving is just as important as giving? 🌟

Deepak Chopra reminds us that the cycle of energy in the universe is about giving AND receiving. When we block our ability to receive, we limit the abundance that is rightfully ours. 💫

We’ll explore the transformative power of embracing abundance. We'll dive deep into why receiving is crucial for material wealth, emotional well-being, spiritual fulfillment, personal growth, and fostering generosity and gratitude. 🌈

Four questions can help you determine whether you are good at receiving and opening yourself up to receive the fullness of life's blessings. ✨

I share some vulnerability about my own struggles to receive. See if you resonate with any of my reasons.

Our desire to connect with others is ingrained in our very being. From the moment we are born we seek the touch and belonging of our maternal bond. Studies show that this need for connection and belonging only grows stronger as we navigate this separation from our parents during our teenage years. That's why it's important for us to fill like we fit in that we belong somewhere.

Our ancestors knew that survival was more likely when a part of a tribe than by existing alone. We are truly wired for connection and finding out where we came from, where our roots originated has become a renewed priority for many.

But where do we start to gather information about our ancestors and how can we keep their stories alive? I have six suggestions for finding and connecting with your family of the past.

Plus, I promised some questions you can use with those that are still alive to uncover the hidden gems of wisdom by using these thought-provoking questions. Become wiser by tapping into their experiences and knowledge. Which question are you excited to ask first?

What is the biggest life lesson you learned from a difficult experience?
How did you overcome a significant life challenge, and what did you learn from it?
Can you discuss how your values have evolved over time, and how has that impacted your decision-making?
What is a piece of advice that you wish someone had given you when you were younger?
How have your life goals shifted over the years, and what motivated those changes?
What is a mistake you made in your younger years that you learned a valuable lesson from?
Can you describe a significant historical event that you experienced, how it impacted you, and how it has shaped your perspective?
What is something that you have always wanted to do, but never had the opportunity to pursue? Why?
How have you navigated changing relationships and friendships throughout your life, and what did you learn from those experiences?
What do you believe is one of the most important qualities to have in life, and why?

Do you remember your last sporting event in a stadium when the crowd started the WAVE? We'd jump up and throw our arms in the air and scream. The motions of those next to you kept the momentum of the excitement of throwing your arms in the air and standing up and cheering.

Like the wave, there are so many things in life that are catchy or that create movement from another’s actions. KINDNESS is one of those. It is exciting to see kindness as it happens, and it stands as a marked difference to rudeness and indifference.

How do we teach our families the value of kindness. Today's episode we talk about 3 things you can do to bring to life the win win want to help another. We are innately kind. How can we add more of this in our lives?

Several years ago I was asked to check my prejudice and bias and see it was showing up in my life. The source of that introspective question came at quite a surprise to me. None the less I was grateful to start visiting where I might be demonstrating Bias.

Do you know where your bias lies? There are more than 175 different types of bias but today we will address several that we all have.

YUP, NO ONE IS IMMUNE!

Several suggestions I have learned are serving me well and can help us all uncover, discover and perhaps change our point of bias.

LEVELING UP from our past podcast, we go beyond the choice to see the positive in our live and start to customize or Sharp Focus the lens by which we view life.

We are Creatures of Focus, but we are also Creature of Freedom.

What happens when we use our brains to help us create situations where we can step into BECOMING in the here and now.

3 steps you can complete in 5 minutes and start using now.

Here's your invitation to at least try it. What do you have to loose except some wasted time and misdirection? C'mon, let's play!

Recently I attended a concert in Las Vegas in a huge arena with about 15,000 people. The large screens flanking the stage and the screens as the set backdrop were in a constant juxtaposition from one musician to another. The producer or visual mixer was carefully crafting what we would see as we were experiencing the sound, feeling and reverberation of the music and the artists performing.

We were being led to experience and see what they desired us to see but with 15,000 people, even with the same opportunity to see all the same screens, we were all experiencing the concert in our own unique way.

It is the same in life, two people can experience the same thing and because of our life experiences, we interpret it differently. But how powerful if we can start dialing in our lens on what we want to see and focus more optimistically while remaining realistic! Today's episode gives 6 steps for readjusting our lens and training our brain to start seeing what WE want it to see!

It feels like everyone individually is going through some sort of a storm on a personal level and then it’s exacerbated and enlarged because of the macro things that are going on in the world. It’s good to be informed but if we focus our energies on these crises and breakdowns, we may be giving away our power to them.

Whenever we react to things by going into survival instinct or survival mode, we are feeding into unrest, fear, and anxiety and instead of getting through the storms we become swept up in the storms of life.

If there’s ever been a time when we need to become the eye of the hurricane, it’s now. The eye of the hurricane is that sweet spot of the storm where it’s calm and quite peaceful while the storm is raging around us. We are able to get into the eye of the storm and remove ourselves or shelter ourselves from the chaos when we stop and focus on some simple tools that can literally CALM THE STORM!

It would be rare given the popularity of self-improvement topics to have never been exposed to writing affirmations or declarations that you write and read to improve your confidence or life. Now think, have you ever tried it? What were your results? Often, I hear the words, "Yes,I tried it once and it really had no effect on my life. Affirmations don't work."

And I’m inclined to agree... Affirmations don't work. They typically don't work unless we apply the secret sauce that brings them to life for our brain.

Today we'll discuss some reasons to relook at affirmations and what are the ingredients that could bring you success. Affirmations are already being used against us by a societal trend. We get to choose whether we will counter with our "custom made" affirmations or let the winds of the world determine our destination.

Has the term "Quiet Quitting" hit your social media feed yet? It's a phrase that was coined on TikToc by a young 26 year old denouncing the hustle culture and the going above and beyond on your job.

The verbiage, "Work Your Wage" is also becoming a growing trend with the mantra that if you are being paid minimum wage, then you should give minimal effort.

And while the Gallup poles are collaborating a transition in job engagement, there are those that swear that quiet quitting is the cure for burnout.

Listen in and see what you think of "Quiet Quitting". This is a compelling topic for conversation with your friends, family and well.... maybe even your colleagues.

Think of the word flexible. What does it mean to you? When I hear the word flexible, I think of someone who has a nimble body, does backbends, or the yoga pose.

Flexible can also concur images of something pliable but have we ever associated it with our thinking? We all have an analytical side of our brain. This calls up the remembrances of the past and everything we have done in a certain way or pattern. Flexible thinking uses the other side of the brain and needs some tutoring to become a skill that will enhance our empowerment.

Today's show gives suggestions and invitations for the how to cultivate that pliable, flexible thinking. It may just help with your innovation, problem solving and creativity! Let's try it.

Catching up with a good friend of mine, as I described my new life changes at home, his advise was to "have no expectations". I could understand why that could be freeing on one hand but SERIOUSLY, that scared me to think of throwing expectations to the wind.

Join me as I explore how we can tip toe or jump into considering what a life with expectations could look like.

Have you had those experiences that leave you with such a sense of ah that they remain indelibly impressed on your memory? A sailing pirate ship in the Greek Islands was my vacation of a lifetime.

The parallels to life were obvious on this sleek ornate sailing vessel that maneuvered the waves and docked in the tightest of spaces.

In today's episode we talk about the parallel regarding intensions, goals and wishes. There are 3 ingredients to supercharge the efficacy of this focus and they are discussed today.

So, what do you think the rudder of your intentions is? You'll find out today with a few stories of 3 women that used their rudder.

The exact opposite of "giving space", "holding space" for someone is one of the greatest gifts we can offer someone if we know how to create that "container" of safety and security.

People don’t always need advice.

Sometimes all they really need is a hand to hold,

an ear to listen,

and a heart to understand them.

But our role may be greater than just creating a place to vent and mourn. This is a therapeutic skill that invites us to utilize some skills that are counterintuitive to how the brain is set up.

And when we keep some boundaries in mind for our own time and space, we reap some pretty amazing benefits.

Join today for 5 guidelines for "holding space" and 2 residual benefits!

What are your feeling about the fall? Do you live in one of those areas where the trees turn the colors of a blazing phoenix before a tree goes underground to emerge anew in the spring? Yes, you know, those fall colors that can only compete with a bowl of Trix cereal!

Fall has unique, tastes, smells, sights and holidays and it may or may not be your favorite time of year, but for many, it's a landmark time of the year when we regroup and look at our goals once again.

But did you know that when the earth tilts on its axis during this season, it affects our bodies, our organs and our minds?

In this episode I give 4 things we can do to be proactive for the upcoming seasonal change and a bucket list of ideas to preplan in your calendar to embrace nature's time of bounty.

In the play called life, sometimes you need an intermission. What is a skill we can give our teens that will help them redirect what will happen in their life when the curtain goes up each morning? Can we rewrite the play? Can we decide a new ending? Can we sway the actors and actresses that interact with us? Sure, we can because we can decide what role we will play, and we can decide how we will interact with those players and actors that come in and out of the scene of life that we experience every day.

Are you ready for an intermission? Are you ready to take a pause on the day and reset the stage for a more powerful 2nd half, or whatever time of day? If we can set ourselves up to succeed in the morning and know how to call a reset whenever we need it, we can set ourselves up for the end of the day CURTAIN CALL that looks and feels so much different than experiences from the day before and the day before.

The teen brain goes through one of the most spectacular developmental stages and while we all know about the raging hormones and the risk taking tendencies, there are TWO pretty AMAZING things that happen during this period that made my jaw drop, and wish I had know about it earlier in my own boys lives.

On today's show we are learning about the 3 brains in a way that you can teach your kids and your teen really needs to know all the bells and whistles of their cranial creation. Their brain is pretty fabulous and it's all an intentional set up to guide our teens into adulthood if they know how to "drive the bus".

How can we support our teens and how is their brain different from ours?

A trip to Alaska in 2014 left me with the impression that this part of the country would teach me about strength and survival. But the lessons I learned from an unexpected field trip remain with me even today.

What does it mean to you to go with the flow?

What does it mean to you to be in the flow?

Don't the schools of fish in the ocean had a synchronized dance of going with the flow or are they in the flow?

Well today, it's all about the flow using an acronym derived from my Alaskan journey. Today is about F.I.S.H. and finding your upstream adventure using a formula.

Calling all worry warts! You may be on the right track. Are there benefits to worrying or is it an emotional faucet that we need to turn off to survive?

In today’s episode will be addressing:

-The two categories of worry and

-FIVE WORRY training wheel tips to keep worry upright and in control.

Who couldn't use a little less stress, cortisol and anxiety in their life? Join in, there's a tool for you!

Years ago I was cleaning while with the TV on in the background when a Dr. Phil Show came on with the well know psychologist. As he introduced the day's episode he mentioned that a 47 year woman was wanting to be reunited with the child that she gave up at age 17 when she found out in high school that she was pregnant. The story went on that the persecution and teasing that she experiences at the hands of callous classmates literally put her in a place of disfunction every since. She did however remember one particular cheerleader who had led the bullying and to her surprise, Dr. Phil did not bring out the child she had adopted out 30 years ago... she brought out the cheerleader!

Oh My... I had to sit down to watch this one but the advice he gave her that day would forever remain an important piece in my own journey in the future.

This episode addresses the hardiness and resilience we need to maneuver life and the ability we have develop a MINDSET that can open doors for us.

Take the quiz at the end to see in real life situations how you would react.

It’s an inevitable that sometime in our life we will lose those who are dear to us and we will also suffer losses whether it be jobs, security, finances, relationships or even the feeling of peace.

Losses are a jolt to the heart, mind, body and soul. Whether this is a loss that we saw coming or one that just happened suddenly, we have to process physcially, mentally and emotionally the change so that we can move THROUGH it.

And it's not just the loss of the person or finances or the material things. It's the loss of the role that we have played with it in our life. In this episode we will talk about the small micro actions we can take to ease us through the grieving process and give us strength as we navigate our lives turned upside down.

My house was always full of teenagers and often one of the first things that they would say to me as they would come into my home and see a lot of symbolic art on my walls is, “ Hey, you should know that I’m not religious.” To which I would respond. “ Hey, I don’t care about that, but what I do care about is if you are connected to a higher power!” We would then have a conversation and they’d be surprised that there are many definitions of what a higher power can be.

In this episode we will explore why connecting with a higher power is in your highest interest. What is your higher power?

Everyday we are creating not only with our thoughts but the words that come out of our mouth are powerful creators x 10.

We may not even realize that how and what we say has a huge impact on what is coming into our life. When we become more aware of words of life and words of choice, we LEVEL UP our language and start to create intentionally. What are your words creating?

You'll be surprised at the things we say and what the brain is interpreting. Learn the skill of transformational re-languaging and just watch the ripple effect around you.

What does walking a mile in someone else's shoes mean to you?

"Walking in someone's shoes" means not to judge a person by what they do, because you don't know the adversity or hardships they've faced to bring them to their current situtation.Before being quick to judge someone for their actions, you should always try to put yourself in their shoes.

How do you put yourself in someone's shoes?

How do I imagine myself in the situation or circumstances of another person, so that I can understand or empathize with their perspective, opinion, or point of view.

If I want to understand or empathize with someone elses perspective, opinion or point of view, I have to take my own shoes off.

So, are you prepared to take of your shoes?

And what does that even look like?

Is it Time to Let some things go?

I want you to imagine that you are walking down the street and you see a woman in front of you carrying a large heavy box on her back. While she seems able to move along, you can’t help but think that she would be more comfortable if she would allow some help. You rush up to her and ask, “Hey, can I help you with the weight you are carrying?" She looks at you with a perplexed face and says "What weight?” She has been carrying it for so long that she is habituated to the weight and doesn’t know the difference. From your perspective, you may be thinking "Why doesn't she put that down?" Why doesn’t she let that go?" But she doesn’t seem to notice that a lot of her energy and life force is being usurped by something that quite literally she does not need to carry.

We may also be carrying some things that to others seem obvious but to us may be invisible, or we may not know that it is an option not thang onto some things.

I am speaking metaphorically of course, and the objects that we can release are emotional and mental hurts and wounds of the past.

In this episode we address how to release things that don't serve us.

The Process of becoming the next best version of yourself is not a mystery, it's a method. It's a process and it involves failure as an option but failure with learning. But it's also not a checklist. But it is about creating those new habits, those new ways of doing things so that we can create new results. This quote is appropriate for what we will be discussing today.

"If you always do, what you've always done, you will always get, what you've always got."

So to be different, to be more than you already are and become the next best version of who we are, we need to shift some things.

This episode contains a very powerful tool to correct the days when we were less than we were meant to be or we reacted in a way that was different than we would have liked to have reacted.

Have you ever wanted to do over a day? Well now you can. Tune in to embrace the skill of the Do over Day!

What is the miracle that you are praying for? In a shifting world and a time of chaos and heartache, I don’t know of too many that are not praying for or hoping for a miracle of some kind in their life. What is that miracle that you are praying for? Is it about that relationship that isn’t going the way you thought it should? Is it about wanting a relationship because of loneliness? Is it the job that you lost or the need to find a different job that has you beseeching the heavens for reprieve? Is it a wayward child that you can’t seem to reach? Is it wars and world contention that is bringing suffering to their citizens? Is it a pet or animal that you know is suffering and needs more help. Is it health issures that need answers and solutions. There are so many things that each of us have in our lives that are both individual and collective in concern and isn’t it a balm to know that MiRACLES DO ABOUND EVEN IN THIS TIME AND PLACE. How does something qualify as a miracle. If I pray for a miracle will I get a miracle? Can we decide what the miracle will look like ? What can we do to open up miracles in our lives? We are exploring miracles today and you are invited to join!

IF WE CAN CONTROL OUT THOUGHTS, WE CAN CONTROL OUR DESTINY!. And WORDS are just a regurgitation of our thoughts. And while we know that abusive mean words are unacceptable language for any of us, are there words that we use everyday that are making a difference in what is coming into our life? In this episode learn to recognize and rephrase, orr should I say learn to speak a new language.
