Embrace It All!

There will be times in our lives when we receive strong impressions.  Sometimes those impressions make sense, but more often than not, at least in my life, they don't.  Today I will share one such impression with you and why I am so grateful that I followed it even though at the time it didn't make complete sense.

I will also share with you what I learned from feeling angry.  I am realizing that anger is a natura...

It's a new year.  In the past I would be excited for the new year, making long lists of resolutions and goals for myself.  But this is year is different.   Honestly, the thought of making any type of resolution or goal for this upcoming year seemed to be too much and I decided I was just going to let this year happen and push through.   But a couple of things brought me to me knees, so to speak, and helped me to figure out wha...

Four months ago my life took a very unexpected turn.  In today's episode I will share with you where I've been and the impression that has carried me through.  

If you are willing to come on this journey with me,  maybe together we can learn how to embrace even the emotion of grief.

I confes,  I am a self-improvement junkie, so to speak.  My bookshelf is lined with a wide variety of self-help books spanning the topics of, marriage, motherhood and parenting, spiritual growth,  goal setting, productivity, mindfulness and meditation, personal growth,  mental health, etc. In most of these types of books, the authors usually have some type of formula, or how-to tips or lists to follow  in order to succeed in  whate...

When we are feeling stressed, often our brains get stuck thinking that there is only one option regarding the situation.   For many, thinking there is only one option available, causes immediate overwhelm and sometimes even a little panic.  

In today's short episode, I will teach you why your brain wants to hold onto this belief and the most effective tool to help your brain let go and step into believing that you rea...

I don't believe in coincidences.  I don't.  I believe that God always has my back and what some people call coincidences, I call tender mercies.

Tender mercies are described  as very personal and individualized blessings, strength, protection, assurances, guidance, loving kindnesses, consolation, support, and spiritual gifts we receive from and because of and through the Lord Jesus Christ.  (David A. Bednar)

 I have come to realize that before I can make any type of improvement or progess in my life, I have to create shifts in my thinking and belief first. These shifts don't have to be big.  In fact, consistently making small shifts in my thinking have created amazig results.  Massive success doesn't always require massive action, or massive thought change.

In his book, Atomic Habits, James Clear states, " by ma...

Yesterday I saw a sign that read, “Don’t look back.  You’re not going that way”.   This has become a very popular sentiment, especially when it comes to our mental health and well being.  But, I don’t fully agree with this idea of not looking back.  I think there can be real value when we look back. 

In this short and sweet episode I will explain the three different lenses that we most commonly look through when we "l...

Sarah and I are back to discuss even more ideas on how to create positive and loving relationhsips.  

It's no secret that men and women think differently, act differently, and feel love differently.  And because of this, marriage relationships require a lot of time and effort to create the love we desire.  

In this episode, Sarah and I will discuss:

• What love looks like within a marriage, 
• How to understand...

Episode 100 is here, and I knew I wanted to discuss something that is extremely important to me.  This topic is something that I am so passionate about, and one that I have devoted most of my life, my time, and my energy into.   Over the years I have learned that anything that is important to me, requires a lot of attention and work, but the rewards along the way are amazing.

So the topic I chose to feature on this 100th episode is ...

I am not naive to the fact many things we experience in this life aren’t always described as fun.  I get that, believe me.  There are so many circumstances that can seem very heavy and serious. 

But I also believe that sometimes we can make even our everyday circumstances a lot harder than they really are because of the thoughts we believe about them; the stories our brain is making up about those circumstances. 

Everything we create in our lives is the result of what we think in response to the circumstances we experience.  One of the tools we use to become aware of  why we are creating our current results  is the Model. 

But what about understanding our inherent identity?

We know that we are all children of  God, born with unique gifts and talents, but what are some ways that we can discover our unique identity?

Because I believe self-awareness is so important, I use a tool with my clients that is somewhat of a "magic wand" so to speak.  It's a very simple but highly effective tool, called "The Model". This Cognitive Behavior Therapy tool was created in a very simplistic way by Master Certified Life Coach, Brooke Castillo that helps see that everything we create in our lives is the result of what we think and how w...

On this episode we will explore  a very simple concept, or rather a question that has made such a profound impact in my life since starting this work.  It’s a question that makes you stop and when answered, puts you in control of whatever situation you may find yourself in.  Here it is:    How Do I  Want to Show Up?  Meaning: 

What is it I want to think? How do I want to feel, and how to I want to be?  (behave, act, respond, etc) in...
