Welcome back to the Coach’s Corner with Dr. Janet Fienemann! This week, Dr. Janet and I are talking about the importance of recognizing your unmet needs and how they are influencing your thoughts and feelings.
In this episode, Dr. Janet and I are talking about an exercise that she calls “Mindfulness 101”. This exercise is to ask yourself and write down: what do you want, what do you feel, what do you think, and what do you need? We are conditioned from a young age to put others' needs before our own, leading to us not knowing what we want and wanting to make everyone around us happy. This conditioning leads to resentment and exhaustion because our needs are not being met. When you tune in to your own thoughts and gain clarity on how your unmet needs are impacting your feelings, you will see the value in prioritizing your needs.
Tune in to Episode 57 to learn how to become aware of your unmet needs with the Mindfulness 101 exercise!
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- About the Mastermind group Dr. Janet (3:28)
- The importance of being mindful of yourself (9:00)
- How our unmet needs are driving our feelings (17:25)
- Janet’s advice for incorporating the Mindfulness 101 practice in your life (20:16)

Is your social media feed inspiring and uplifting or negative and anxiety-ridden?
While social media can promote negativity, hate, and anxiety, it can also bring together great people to foster a positive and motivational environment.

We all go through challenges in life – and some drastically change our lives forevermore. But how you choose to respond to these challenges is how you are choosing to live your life.
In this episode, Gina Ricci talks all about what it means to embrace life’s challenges, and how the way you lead your life can positively impact others’ as a result. Gina Ricci is a dear friend of mind, personal empowerment and mindset mentor, coach, non-toxic lifestyle consultant, energy healer, author, inspirational speaker, and mother of three.
Throughout this episode, Gina walks us through her journey, starting with the day that changed her life: when her daughter was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. She tells the story of how she dealt with the darkest moments of her life, then learned to shift her perspective on how her life was unfolding. Together, we talk about the importance of mediums in our lives and how they’ve helped us both work through our traumas and heal over time.

Do you ever wonder if your dog actually understands what you’re saying to him?
Here’s the truth: they understand your energy behind your words and actions. A happy “Good boy!” will result in a joyful, jumpy pup – but it’s all about the energy behind your words.
Greg DiFranza, author of Dog Stories, joins me today for a conversation all about dog training. In practice, however, his advice is more about how to train the human, rather than the dog. He walks us through how dogs communicate, how to manage your energy, and understanding their basic instincts. We also discuss the sudden rise of dog aggression during the COVID-19 pandemic, how they’re trying to take care of their owners, and how you can best care for your dog as well.
Tune in to learn more about yourself, your dog, and how you can better communicate with one another.

“When you feel good then success in all areas of your life is easy to achieve. I love to empower people to discover their dreams and to ignite their lives”
If you could live the life of your dreams, what would it look like? What would you be doing? Where and how would you live?
I believe everyone should be living the life of their dreams and welcome you to Believe It, Achieve It! I’m your host Nicole Windley and, each week, this show will serve up a dose of magic to help guide you in living your best life.
I’ll be joined by health and wellness experts, amazing spiritual beings and everyday people sharing their personal development journeys and offering tips, tools, skills and guidance to help you take your life to the next level.
We’re talking real conversations - no fluff; a raw, unpolished and honest dialogue that will also teach you how to navigate life during difficult times.
I’m beyond thrilled to have our first guest join me in launching the show; Dr. Janet Fienemann is a therapist based in Jacksonville (a fellow Floridian) specializing in counseling, mindfulness and Cognitive Behavior Therapy. I first met Janet during a dark time in my life and she provided me with the tools I needed to, as she says, live my badass life!
Janet and I discuss the importance of gratitude, especially during these times, and she provides insight into the science behind it and offers her recommendation on simple, daily gratitude practices that can make a world of difference - I’m speaking from first hand experience!
These are challenging times for many of us and it’s important that we feel what we feel, acknowledge those feelings and understand that there’s always something to be grateful for. Gratitude is all about appreciating the silver linings in the midst of all the bad stuff.
I look forward to having you tuning in and joining us!
Make it an awesome day!
