Magic Seeds

Embracing the evolution of love and partnership in modern times seems to be the secret to modern day happiness. We’ve come a long evolutional way from the Silent Generation and those preceding. In today’s episode, Lillian Karch, from the Silent Generation and presently in a 60 year marriage, will talk about the changing of the societal norms and expectations when there was the social pressure to conform to traditional gender roles within a marriage. She’ll also discuss how marriage is very very difficult work. She says, “Marriage is like a profession. It’s one you have to be dedicated to and love, otherwise you need to get out of it”. Listen today to get the Magic Seed of changing the perspective from viewing modern day marriages as "failed" or lesser than those of the silent generation, to celebrating the progress and growth that has taken place in our society.

Fear is a natural phenomena. All of us have it because it’s programmed into our nervous systems to keep us safe. It’s used to warn and protect us from getting harmed and it’s purpose is to protect us in acute situations. Most people hang onto it, chronically, which is detrimental to their health. Chronic fear weakens the immune system, causes cardiovascular damage, decreased fertility and gastrointestinal problems such as ibs and ulcers. The courageous & fearless heroes are not in absence of fear, they are the ones who grab the bull by the horns, face it and conquer it. Resisting or avoiding the things we fear only creates a standstill, paralysis, stagnation and little to no growth. Shift your relationship with FEAR, be a FEARLESS WARRIOR and identify what is holding you back in your life.

What will you be remembered for when your time on this earth comes to an end? How have you impacted the lives of those around you? These are questions that we often ask ourselves as we strive to live a purposeful life. Our actions and choices not only affect us, but also leave a lasting impact on the people and world around us. As our guest, Mike Karch, mentions in today’s podcast, our legacy is not only about what we leave behind, but also how we live our lives. It's about the values and principles we uphold, the relationships we nurture, and the impact we make on others. Remember, our time on this earth is limited, but the legacy we leave can last forever. Let's strive to leave a positive footprint and make a difference in this world. As Mike says, in his new book, ‘Tangible Heroes’, "We are all tangible heroes in our own way. Let's make sure our legacy reflects that. Live your life with purpose, and leave a lasting impact on this world. Don't just leave a footprint, leave an imprint.”
