#252: Why Storytelling? In this "Monday mindset'' episode, I am sharing my thoughts on storytelling and why I am now calling myself a Storytelling and Business Coach. Storytelling encompasses everything I embrace about our stories, how they shape us into who we are, how they teach us lessons that we are meant to share with others, and how powerful our stories are. Our stories can help us to support, impact and make a difference in the lives of others. In today's episode we discuss:1) Storytelling is so important because it is how we see and recognize each other, through our pain, experience and emotions. It is also how we realize that we are more alike than different, and it is how we connect with others, and build relationships as well as learning how to share our stories through vulnerability is the birthplace of joy, fulfillment, belonging, authenticity and relationships. It is how we find our people. 2) Storytelling is learning how to objectively look at your stories, your life experiences, and then pull the lessons out of your story to understand how it shaped you to be who you are now. It is also looking at the stories and understanding that you wouldn't be the person you are today without those stories. Through this process you learn how to stand ON your story instead of IN it. This is where you see the impact of your story in helping others, and serving a much bigger purpose. 3) We go through this process, by revisiting and breaking down our life stories, then looking for the repeated patterns or stories, and then looking at the 4 - 5 lessons or themes that you have lived through. These are the key things in your wheelhouse that make you who you are, the expert of your life and the main areas that you could stand up and speak without any notes. It is also important to learn how to build yourself to share your story. 4) What if diving into your story helps you to see your story and your circumstances differently, and what if this is the path to actually turning your pain into your purpose to help you to create the impact that only you are here to make?

#251: Vulnerability Needs Boundaries In this Friday Facts episode, I am sharing my thoughts on vulnerability and why it absolutely needs boundaries. I heard a podcast with Brene Brown and Simon Sinek and this topic of conversation came up, which is no surprise since Brene Brown is the queen of talking about vulnerability. Her work helped me immensely years ago come out of my shell and learn that vulnerability is a strength and not a weakness. Now let's take it one step further and talk about how vulnerability absolutely needs boundaries. In today's episode we discuss:1) Vulnerability without boundaries is manipulative. People need to earn the right to hear your story, you decide, it isn't for everyone. Without boundaries, the intentions are unclear and can definitely create muddy waters. It's important to know who you are talking to and why you are sharing your story, without those things it can be manipulative. 2) Vulnerability is "having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it's our greatest measure of courage." 3) "In our culture, we associate vulnerability with emotions we want to avoid such as fear, shame and uncertainty. Yet we too often lose sight of the fact that vulnerability is the birthplace of joy, belonging, creativity, authenticity and love." Brene Brown.

#249: What's Your Growth Game? In this "Monday mindset'' episode, I share my thoughts on our growth game. After listening to John Maxwell's new book on Audible called, Change Your World. If you're looking to improve any area of leadership in life or business, I recommend John Maxwell's work. He is the pioneer author on leadership. In this podcast I will share my thoughts on his words on growth, leadership, and how we always have to go first in our lives. Waiting for someone to come fix our situation is the fastest way to go nowhere and it is the way to give away our own personal power that we can be using to create change in our lives. In today's episode we discuss:1) The more you grow, the more you allow yourself to grow. 2) John Maxwell shares this explanation, "Hope has two beautiful daughters, courage and anger. Anger at the way things are and courage to make a difference. Hope has to have anger. No change happens in a comfort zone, we have to get uncomfortable in order for change to happen. This is healthy anger and it stirs us out of our comfort zone and courage gives us the push we need to go into new territory. 3) Know that it is a long game. It's not a 100m sprint, it's a marathon that we go through every day. 4) What if we ask different questions, change the meaning of the challenges or the growth we are experiencing? David Goggins says, be willing to ask yourself the "what if" questions.

#248: Take the Pressure Off In this Friday Facts episode, I am sharing my thoughts on the pressure valve that we create for ourselves. Pressure is a normal part of being a human. We all have deadlines and we have times that require more push than others. But this doesn't have to be nor should it be an extended period of push and pressure time. There are times that it is important to take the pressure off. This was inspired by a reading in Melody Beattie's Journey to the Heart. In today's episode we discuss:1) Intense pressure doesn't get the job done any faster or better. It tends to make us more tense or fearful and does not allow any creative juices to flow. This energy also takes us out of the present moment which stops our own flow of life and energy. Typically this amount of pressure actually creates so much noise in our own head that we can't hear our own intuition, guidance or heart. 2) The most difficult and urgent decisions are best made when we are rested, in the present moment and not spiralling with all the things that can potentially go wrong. We cannot force ourselves to move faster, think faster and be efficient all at the same time. The more pressing the situation, the more present we need to be for ourselves and for the present moment or situation. 3) Learn to let off some steam, release the pent up emotions, and let the answers come to you in the most easy and beautiful way.

#247: Take Control of Your Life with Paul Nadeau Today we are speaking with Motivational and keynote speaker/Mental Health strategist, Paul Nadeau. Paul is a former hostage negotiator, international peacekeeper and special victims unit detective. His life reads like a Hollywood blockbuster, but it didn't start off easy. He was severely abused by an alcoholic father as a child but he made choices not to follow in his fathers footsteps and his choices have led him to help others in a profound way. He is now a best-selling author, motivational speaker and thought leader - to name but a few of his accomplishments. In this episode we discuss: 1) When we are repeatedly told that we are a failure, we subconsciously own that story and it requires a lot of work to see the story differently. When we decide to change the story and believe in ourselves we show up in a more powerful way. 2) Learning to start your day purposely is the way to manage your own energy and set your intentions and energy for the day.3) No one is coming to save you. You have to stand up on your own rock. Others can assist you in standing up, yet you are responsible for how you choose to show up in your life. 4) The hurdles, obstacles and challenges that led Paul down an incredible path that he is on today to continue to inspire others to trust themselves and listen to and honour their voice.

#246: HALT - The Premise for Self-Care In this "Monday mindset'' episode, I am sharing the acronym HALT, from comedian Whitney Cummings. This acronym came into my world three times in a matter of days so I decided to understand it better and share it with you on this podcast. Self-care is about filling our own cup up first before we can give to others. This acronym really simplifies the process. Self-care is about giving the world what is the best of you and not what is left of you. In today's episode we discuss:1) HALT stands for Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired. To handle situations better, if you are feeling any of these emotions, it is necessary to handle these emotions first before trying to serve or take care of anyone else, because doing so will only lead to frustration. This is exceptionally true if you are dealing with a conflict or a difficult experience. 2) If you continually feel yourself falling back into these patterns, there could be some underlying codependency or people pleasing patterns to address. 3) Looking at this acronym, it shows that these are the 4 basic human needs and if we can't give these to ourselves first, we ultimately have nothing left to give to others. 4) Puting the necessary boundaries in place, self-care practices, and recognizing the traps you fall into and remember to practice grace and compassion. Self-care and boundaries are the signs of ultimate self-respect. This takes time to implement and master.

#245: Let Go of Your Labels In this Friday Facts episode, I am sharing my thoughts about changing our labels or identity. We tend to give ourselves the identity of what we do for a living, who we are, or about our past stories and experiences. Once we've created that label in our head it seems hard to let it go and create a new identity. I share my own personal story of changing my identity in my profession. This quote fits perfectly, "It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always.All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story." ~ Patrick Rothfuss. In today's episode we discuss:1) We all have these labels that we have created for ourselves and we keep ourselves stuck in this pigeon hole of the label. We tend to hold onto it so tightly for so long that we don't even know how to let go of it, yet we must if we are going to move toward the next thing. 2) Holding onto our past doesn't allow us to be open to receiving what is available in the future for us. We are keeping ourselves stuck in a moment of time and not leaving any room to be open for future possibilities.

#244: Overcoming Generational Financial Troubles with Gretchen Heinen Today we are speaking with Christian Wealth Empowerment Specialist Gretchen Heinen. Gretchen Heinen is committed to teaching young, culturally diverse Christians how to create multiple streams of income while still being present for life and have high well-being. She is a leader in the international health community, Find Your Fit, where thousands of people come to rebalance their physical health naturally so they can show up their most productive selves. She has a 5 Star rated podcast, Net Worth It, which is listened to in 60 countries and brings the people, tools and resources you need to discover and build your own legacy. Gretchen is the founder of the Net Worth It School, the leading place to turn ideas into legacy businesses and overcome financial limiting beliefs. She is a foster, bio and stepmom and believes that love, not DNA, defines family. She allows God to lead her businesses and believes our true potential unleashes when we take our spiritual callings and execute on them. In this episode, we discuss: 1) How we all have the ability to overcome what we once thought was impossible. We can completely change our generational stories and traumas. 2) If we don't currently have a worthiness mindset, we must commit to doing the work here first because if we don't, we will continually sabotage any success we create or prevent ourselves from opportunities simply because we don't believe we are worthy of them. 3) Look for the good in others, embrace who you are and don't hide it from the world.

She has a 5 Star rated podcast, Net Worth It, which is listened to in 60 countries and brings the people, tools and resources you need to discover and build your own legacy. Gretchen is the founder of the Net Worth It School, the leading place to turn ideas into legacy businesses and overcome financial limiting beliefs. She is a foster, bio and stepmom and believes that love, not DNA, defines family. She allows God to lead her businesses and believes our true potential unleashes when we take our spiritual callings and execute on them. In this episode, we discuss: 1) How we all have the ability to overcome what we once thought was impossible. We can completely change our generational stories and traumas. 2) If we don't currently have a worthiness mindset, we must commit to doing the work here first because if we don't, we will continually sabotage any success we create or prevent ourselves from opportunities simply because we don't believe we are worthy of them. 3) Look for the good in others, embrace who you are and don't hide it from the world.

#243: Your Reaction is the Problem In this "Monday mindset'' episode, the difference between intention and reaction. If we want to create lasting change in our lives, we must learn how to be aware of our reactions that are blocking us from actually creating change. Life is literally a steep learning curve. We learn by doing, then reassessing the results, recalibrating or not and then trying again. We can do all this observation without reacting. In the process of reaction is where we are wasting enormous amounts of energy that we could be using to create more permanent and lasting change. In today's episode we discuss:1) Learning to observe our behaviours instead of reacting to them. 2) Learning to observe others behaviours without reacting to every single thing. Just because someone invites us to the fight doesn't mean we have to participate in the battle. 3) Recognize your default patterns and what you go back to and notice how it doesn't serve you, it doesn't illicit change and it will deplete you of your energy which is the only resource you have to create lasting change 4) Puting the necessary boundaries in place, self-care practices, and recognizing the traps you fall into and bringing your sense of humour along. This takes time to implement and master.

#240: Fear is Your Teammate In this "Monday mindset'' episode, I am talking about fear and how we seem to think that we should be fearless, or it is easy for others because they don't have or show any fear. First, this is not even accurate. Fearless is not a thing. Feeling the fear and doing it anyways is more the feeling of how it typically unfolds. With the right mindset, fear becomes the compass showing us which way it wants us to follow. Learning to embrace that fear is a teammate has been a powerful shift in my life. In today's episode we discuss:1) Recognize when fear shows up, ask what it is telling you and be mindful of the words you attach to those feelings. 2) Ask yourself the questions is it a Hell yes or a no answer and then ask why? 3) Test the waters, take a step forward when you are afraid, learn, re-evaluate, embrace the learnings, and take another step. 4) Let fear become your compass to guide you to where your higher self wants to go.

#239: Birthday Special - What I Learned from Harry Potter In this Friday Facts episode, I am sharing a part of me that I have never shared before. I love Harry Potter. Yup I said it. I have loved the story of J.K.Rowling and how she leaned into and brought her vision to life when no one else could see it. Despite continued rejection, doors closing, hearing no over and over, and being a single mother on social assistance, battling depression and contemplating suicide, she kept going. What if we all brought that much drive to our vision, what would it look like? In today's episode we discuss:1) My thoughts on J.K.Rowling and what she had to overcome to bring her vision to life. 2) The lessons I learned from Harry Potter and how it has interspersed in all areas of my life and business. 3) How I am proud (and nervous) to say I am turning 51 this year, in the second year of our global pandemic.

#237: What's Your Default? In this "Monday mindset'' episode, I am sharing some thoughts on recognizing your default system. We all have one. What are the habits and behaviours that you drop into that you know are not serving you? To create long-lasting behaviour change doesn't mean that we don't struggle. It means that we are aware of what we are doing, how we sabotage ourselves and then catch and change the behaviour when it shows up. In today's episode we discuss:1) Awareness. All change starts with awareness.2) Honesty. There has to come a point where you are tired of your own BS stories and decide to change them. 3) Creating a mantra to interrupt the pattern, shift the thoughts, words and mindset contributing to the sensation of being stuck. 4) Having a sense of humour and embracing that you are human instead of meeting yourself with constant resistance.

#236: Do You Mean What You Say? In this Friday Facts episode, I am sharing my thoughts alignment and our words. Too often we don't say what we mean and we don't mean what we say, and this leaves us in a state of confusion, misalignment and frustration, which is something we are literally doing to ourselves. This misalignment creates inner turmoil because you are not following what your gut is trying to tell you to do. Alignment comes when you listen and act accordingly to what your gut is saying. Learning to ask yourself if something is a hell yes, or if it is a no. If it isn't a hell yes, then it is definitely a no. In today's episode we discuss:1) Alignment comes when you listen and act accordingly to what your gut is saying. The first instinct is your gut, the second voice you hear is your ego and that voice is trying to keep you small. Your ego might also get you stuck in the how. If it is a hell yes, the how will sort itself out. 2) We cannot build trust within ourselves if we don't start trusting ourselves. It's not magic, it is following our gut and listening to the nudges. The more we do that the more we learn to trust what is happening inside.

#235: Structure and Priorities Help You Own Your Life with Fallon Moran Today we are speaking with Online Business Manager, Fallon Moran. After graduating from Penn State University in 2015, Fallon entered the corporate world because that's what she was told she was supposed to do. Much like phases before, Fallon realized after having lived in two different cities based in two different countries and still working a corporate career, there was no structure to her life. Upon her return from Prague, she entered back into the sport she knew gave her a positive structure leading her to massive physical & mental alignment; crew. Now she combines her love of the sport and what it has provided her with her organizational superpowers. Fallon believes every woman deserves to have an organized structure in her business so that she can act upon her priorities and make more money.

#234: The Power of Scripting In this "Monday mindset'' episode, I am sharing my experience with scriptwriting as a part of the extended work of affirmations.

#233: Are You Picking at Your Wounds? In this Friday Facts episode, I am sharing my thoughts on picking at our wounds as opposed to learning how to let them heal. Picking at our wounds doesn't allow them to change or heal and it keeps us stuck in a toxic pool of emotions and little room for growth. Allowing our wounds to heal means that we are in a space of looking at our wounds with perspective and seeing our wounds in a different light. This is where the change begins. In today's episode we discuss:1) Start with awareness of what your wound is, how you feel about it and being honest if you are picking at it and not allowing it to heal? 2) Imagine how it could be if you let your wounds heal and use that energy to speak, grow and create the energy to do something with your wounds that have healed. This is an incredibly powerful space to live from and this is where the impact is greater!
