Episode #95 Learning to Give and Receive Love
It is only through developing our capacity to give AND to receive love that we can begin to reach our full potential as eternal beings. Do you define the relationships in your life by the good times or the bad ones? Let's be intentional and choose to let the good qualities of others have a louder voice in our heads than their flaws!
Episode #94 What Does Your Name Mean?
When we hear a name, we automatically make associations; good or bad. When people hear your name, how do YOU want to be known? In this life, we do not control what happens to us, but we do control how we show up! Who are you when life is good? Who are you when people are unkind? More importantly, when choosing intentionally, who do you WANT to be? Everyday, practice being that person until it is naturally who you really are!
Episode 93 Yes Means No
Time is a limited resource. When we say YES to one thing, we are simultaneously saying NO to something else. Learn how to be intentional about how you spend your time. Make a decision; like your reasons; drop the guilt!!
Episode #92 The Stories We Tell Ourselves
Judgement and Love cannot coexist; just like light and darkness cannot be in the same space at the same time. When the slightest bit of judgement is present, we are not loving fully and completely. The great news is--we have total control over how we love those around us!

86 The Control Paradox
Our brains are naturally wired to look for things we can control. We think control is what we need. We want more of it. Often, control in our relationships is the worst thing for us. It's counterintuitive and this approach works!!
Ep #85 It's Not All About You
So often, we tell ourselves we are "guiding" those around us when the reality is, we are manipulating them to do things our way so we can feel good about ourselves. Guess what? We can choose to feel great about ourselves even when others exercise their agency in ways we wish they wouldn't! Join me on this podcast to learn simple tricks to have genuine and enriching relationships with the people in your life
Episode #84 Bound By Service With Warren Henrie
So often we are paralyzed thinking we don't know the best way to help someone, so we do nothing. Funny thing is, failing to take action is the only sure way to know for sure, you are doing it all wrong. The most meaningful acts of service do not involve money or any grand gestures. They are simple things like writing a note or offering a sincere compliment. Warren is even volunteering at a preschool while he's recovering! There is no act of kindness too small to matter
Episode #83 #GiveThanks with David Atkisson
Whatever we are looking for, our brains will find! Imagine how amazing our lives become when we count blessings instead of problems. The problems will still be there and they will pale in comparison to the many blessings we are focused on.
Episode #82 Planting Seeds of Confidence
When I feel insecure, I notice I deflect and question compliments that come my way. In contrast, when I focus on confidence, not only am I able to genuinely compliment myself, I also can recognize and accept compliments coming at me during daily life. I challenge you to start noticing compliments and to write them down. It's just the confidence boost we could all use!!
Episode #81 Confidence is a Learned Skill
Confidence is like a perfectly choreographed dance. After you've practiced it enough, confidence appears effortless. In the early stages, you count every beat and repeat over and over so you don't miss a step. To some it comes more naturally than to other, but to all, it is a skill that can be practiced enough to master it.
